Chapter 829: Chapter 728, Annoying_2

Daohua wiped her hands and, noticing Yang Xiujun’s gaze, smiled and said, "Everyone should clean their hands too. I’ve asked the maid to cut some watermelon so we can eat it later."

Han Third Miss immediately asked with a smile, "Is it the watermelon sold at the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop?"

Han Fourth Miss took over the conversation, "Third Sister, your question isn’t quite right. You should ask if it’s the watermelon produced by the Four Seasons Manor, after all, the watermelons at the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop all come from there."

Before Daohua could say anything, Han Third Miss eagerly asked, "Big Sister Yan, is it true that the Emperor awarded the Four Seasons Manor to you?"

Daohua glanced at the two Han sisters, thinking that affinities between people really mattered. Despite their seemingly innocent charm, they were hard to like.

"It was indeed awarded by the Emperor. How else could I have gotten it?"

Han Third Miss blinked, "Maybe the Little Prince gave it to you! I heard the Sunflower Villa next to the Four Seasons Manor belongs to him."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the surrounding young ladies changed.

Receiving gifts from men outside the family, that was considered a private transaction, something ladies of good families would never engage in.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan Family, Han Xinran was always observant when hosting, keeping an eye and ear out for guests’ needs. Standing not far away, she heard her younger sister’s remark and quickly intervened, "Little sister, don’t talk nonsense about things you do not know."

Noticing Han Xinran’s displeasure, Han Third Miss pouted, "I was just joking," she said, looking at Daohua, "Big Sister Yan wouldn’t be so petty, right?"

Daohua glanced at Han Xinran, then looked at Han Third Miss with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, today I have truly seen what kind of manners the Han Family instills."

Saying so, she no longer paid attention to the Han sisters and turned to look at Yang Xiujun.

"It’s been a long time, cousin. How have you been recently?"

Yang Xiujun nodded, "Mom and I are both quite well."

Daohua smiled, "Before father came to Beijing, he sent someone to Wangyue Academy. Your brother is doing well. Tell aunt not to worry when you get home."

Just then, the maid came over with the cut watermelon.

Daohua personally handed a piece to Yang Xiujun, "Dragon Boat Festival is nearing and the weather is getting hotter. Have some watermelon to quench your thirst."

For the other young ladies, she merely called out.

Seeing that Daohua had disregarded them, the expressions of Han Third Miss and Han Fourth Miss darkened.

Meanwhile, Han Madam took a bite of the watermelon and immediately exclaimed, "This watermelon is really sweet." Looking over at Madam Li, she said, "Dear in-law, I’m really envious of you. The Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop is your family’s. Whatever you want to eat, you can have, unlike us, who have to queue up and sometimes can’t even buy anything."

Old Madam Yan also chimed in, "Indeed, in Beijing, the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop does the best business in selling fruit and vegetables."

Madam Li, munching joyfully on her watermelon, did not enter the conversation, nor did she offer any gifts.

Whether it was the Yang Family or the Han Family, she truly had no good impressions. It didn’t matter if it was her daughter’s venture—she wouldn’t give anything even if it was her own family’s.

Han Xinran frowned slightly as she glanced at Han Madam, feeling very stifled but still managed to divert the topic with a laugh.

But not long after, Han Madam redirected the conversation, "Speaking of which, the watermelons from Four Seasons Manor matured so early, is it because there’s a hot spring over there?"

Feeling anxious, knowing her mother’s temperament, Han Xinran immediately retorted, "Not at all. It’s because our seeds are excellent. Zhongzhou doesn’t have hot springs, yet our watermelons still ripen before Dragon Boat Festival."

Han Madam shook her head, "Zhongzhou isn’t situated to the north of Beijing; the temperatures are a bit warmer than Beijing early in the season, so it’s not strange for watermelons to ripen before Dragon Boat Festival. But in Beijing, if you want to enjoy watermelons so early, only Tangyu Mountain can yield them."

Old Madam Yang agreed, "Exactly, unfortunately, those fields and manors over there aren’t just something you can buy easily. We can only eat what others sell."

Han Madam laughed, "Yes, Tangyu Mountain is inhabited by royalty and the nobility of the court; ordinary families are said to be unable to even go there, much less buy land."

Old Madam Yang nodded, "Madam’s words are very true, embarrassingly, I have not yet visited there myself."

Han Madam glanced at Daohua sitting with the young ladies and said with a smile, "Doesn’t Yiyi own a manor over there with hot springs and waterfalls? Bathing in hot springs is very beneficial to health. When will you take us there for a visit?"

At these words, everyone in the room turned their gaze to Daohua.

Han Xinran noticed her grandmother and mother-in-law’s displeasure and felt infuriated but before Daohua could respond, she spoke a bit harshly, "That might be difficult. Mother doesn’t know, but an elder of big sister lives in the manor, it’s inconvenient to host outsiders."

Daohua looked at Han Xinran, deciding to save her some face and said nothing.

"Big Sister Yan, we’ve never experienced the hot springs waterfall either. Won’t you take us for fun?" Han Third Miss suddenly tugged at Daohua’s sleeve, coquettishly addressing her.

Daohua felt a shiver of distaste and quickly withdrew her sleeve, her opinion of the Han family unsparingly clear. "Miss Han, are we familiar?"

Startled, Han Third Miss didn’t expect Daohua to respond that way.

Yang Xiujun watched from the side, thankful that her family’s sisters had some self-awareness. Knowing that relations between the Yan and Yang families weren’t great, they behaved themselves today during the visit.

Sister Yiyi... never sacrificed her comfort for the sake of others’ feelings.

Embarrassed by her daughter’s rejection, Han Madam’s face could not hide her discomfort, but luckily the wife of the second Han son smoothed things over, relaxing the atmosphere somewhat.

Daohua thought the room was too noisy and was considering making an excuse to leave when Bi Shi suddenly walked in quickly, whispering at her side, "Miss, Hong Ying has rushed to the mansion in a panic, saying she needs your help to save Miss Dong."
