Chapter 942: Chapter 802, Parents-in-law_2 Chapter 942: Chapter 802, Parents-in-law_2 The guests looked on with surprise as Daohua and Xiao Yeyang arrived hand in hand.
Most of the attendees seriously reflected and realized that, it seed, they had never actually had a reunion dinner with Xiao Yeyang before.
Prince Pingxi looked at the two of them, and although his face did not show much, his eyes were filled with amusent as he coughed lightly and said, “You’re here, take a seat. Dinner is about to start.”
As he spoke, he looked towards Daohua.
“What are you doing with that food container?”
Daohua replied with a smile, “Your daughter-in-law has made so New Year cakes and sweet rice dumplings in fernted rice soup, and brought them over to ask Father-in-law to have a taste.”
Prince Pingxi’s eyes imdiately crinkled into a smile, just about to praise Daohua’s filial piety, when the Princess Consort of the Ma Family said with a sarcastic tone, “You have the nerve to bring out sothing so disgraceful.”
The remark was laden with double aning.
Xiao Yeyang imdiately wore a stern expression and looked indifferently at the Princess Consort, “The only thing that truly has no place on this table, in this room, is you who gave birth out of wedlock; no one else even cos close.”
“Xiao Yeyang!”
Xiao Yechen stood up abruptly, saying, “You’re going too far.”
Xiao Yeyang sneered, looking at Xiao Yechen with mockery, “Do you think that by following the Third Prince around, reciting poems with those pretentious scholars every day, you can erase your disgraceful birthright?”
Xiao Yechen, with eyes red from anger, looked at Prince Pingxi in a mix of rage and grievance, “Father, Xiao Yeyang is humiliating like this. You must stand up for !” As he spoke, he knelt down with a ‘thump’.
The Princess Consort also knelt down, crying pitifully, “Prince, do you see this? This is how Xiao Yeyang has been insulting and Chenchen.”
Prince Pingxi did have a sympathy for the weak, but that did not an he lacked the ability to distinguish right from wrong. It was clear that today’s issue was instigated by the Ma Family, attempting to disgrace the girl, and Yeyang’s outburst was not unwarranted.
Seeing the Princess Consort feigning pity, Prince Pingxi couldn’t help feeling annoyed in his heart.
Seeing that Prince Pingxi remained silent, Concubine Jiang mistakenly thought he was displeased with Xiao Yeyang. After pondering, she said, “Today is the Little New Year, in past years at this ti, our family would be happily eating our reunion al together. How co every ti Yeyang returns ho, there always seems to be…”
Daohua looked at Concubine Jiang and directly interrupted her, “Concubine Jiang, isn’t it the Princess Consort who’s actually causing trouble? You seem to enjoy watching the drama unfold without fearing big trouble.”
Just as Concubine Jiang was about to retort, she saw both Prince Pingxi and Xiao Yeyang looking at her with cold indifference, making her swallow her words in fear.
Xiao Yuhua seeing this, pulled at Concubine Jiang’s sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
She really didn’t understand why her mother, when the Princess Consort and her son were in conflict with her second brother and sister-in-law, would even bother to get involved. Wouldn’t it be better to sit back and watch the tigers fight?
Daohua, looking at the pitiful Princess Consort and the stubbornly aggrieved Xiao Yechen, scoffed in her heart. If they knew how to show weakness, couldn’t she do the sa?
Crying, of course, was out of the question, for there were no tears.
Since Daohua couldn’t force out any tears, she could only lower her head and say, “Father, this is Xiao Yeyang’s first New Year ho after moving into the Imperial Palace, and my first Little New Year since marrying into the family. The Princess Consort and big brother are picking a fight, and Concubine Jiang is fanning the flas on the side. Do they want to drive Xiao Yeyang and out of the Prince Residence?”
After hearing this, Prince Pingxi rembered the Emperor’s words about the ambition of the Ma Family, and looking at the mother and son who were kneeling on the ground, irritation and anger grew in his heart.
Xiao Yeyang had run out of patience and did not want to see Daohua compromising any further; at this mont, he no longer wanted to stay for the reunion dinner. He stood up, took Daohua by the hand, and was ready to leave.
Daohua quickly pulled him back; if they just left like this, wouldn’t it just play into the Ma Family’s hands? “Xiao Yeyang, I want to have a reunion al with Father,” she said, turning her head to look at Prince Pingxi.
“Father, since the Princess Consort and big brother do not welco us, why don’t you co and dine with us at Pingxi Hall?” she paused and continued, “I will cook myself.”
Prince Pingxi imdiately grasped at the opportunity, “Your cooking skills are good; I do miss the dishes you prepare. Let’s go; today I will dine at Pingxi Hall.” Having said that, he led the way out of the room.
Seeing this, Daohua quickly and cheerfully pulled Xiao Yeyang to follow, leaving the Ma Family mother and son with shocked expressions and Concubine Jiang and company looking at one another in confusion.
“Why turn a perfectly good reunion dinner into such a ss?”
Concubine Ji shook her head and sighed. Then she got up and bowed to the Princess Consort, “Since the Prince has left, Yechang and I won’t stay and disturb the Princess Consort any further.”
