The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Chapter 416, Once Again Beguiling_1

Did the Imperial Uncle leave Beijing for Zhongzhou in search of a gold mine?

Xiao Yeyang really didn’t know.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s bewildered face, Daohua got up and ran to her room, returning soon after with a brocade box: “Do you recognize this?”

Xiao Yeyang took the somewhat wilted wild grass from Daohua’s hands, shook his head uncertainly, and said, “Is this… a medicinal herb?”

Daohua nodded, “This grass is called Jing Cao, it is a medicinal herb, but it also has another little-known use.”

Xiao Yeyang’s expression changed, “Jing Cao, you say this is called Jing Cao?”

...

Previously, Advisor Jiang seemed to have asked him if he knew where Jing Cao could be found, saying it was for concocting medicine for his cousin Wan Ying.

Daohua nodded, “What, you know about Jing Cao?”

Xiao Yeyang: “I’ve heard it mentioned before, you said it has another use, what is it?”

Daohua smiled, “Jing Cao typically grows around gold mines, its other use is for locating gold mines.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang stood up ‘whoosh’ with his eyes wide open, “Gold mine? Are you sure?”

Watching the peanuts she had just picked up scatter on the floor again, Daohua was somewhat displeased, “Why are you so agitated?”

Xiao Yeyang quickly squatted down, steadying Daohua with his hands, making her look at him, “Daohua, are you sure Jing Cao can lead us to a gold mine? This is very important, you can’t just say anything carelessly.”

Daohua initially wanted to break free, but seeing Xiao Yeyang’s serious face, she stopped and nodded earnestly, “I did indeed read about this in stories, and I wasn’t very sure before, but after seeing Xiaowu and his people, I think it’s true. Moreover, the gold mine might be in Ningmen Prefecture.”

Xiao Yeyang let go of Daohua, stood up, furrowed his brow into a knot, his expression shifting.

Since the Imperial Uncle had personally come from Beijing to investigate, the gold mine matter must be real.

But then, the Jiang Family is also searching for Jing Cao, do they know it grows near gold mines?

Thinking of the news brought by the servants these past days, saying that the Jiang Family had sent out several groups in the territories of Ningmen Prefecture, searching for something.

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

The Jiang Family is searching for a gold mine?!!!

And they are doing it secretly and privately.

What are they planning?

Don’t they know this is a crime that could lead to their entire clan’s annihilation?

The Jiang Family is now one of the most distinguished aristocratic families in Beijing, with the Empress Dowager and Empress coming from their family, and both Duke Cheng’en and the Princely Heir holding high positions; what more could they possibly want?

Xiao Yeyang’s lips were pressed into a thin line; this matter was too significant, and he had to inform the Imperial Uncle immediately.

“Hey, where are you going?”

Seeing Xiao Yeyang lift his leg to walk out, Daohua quickly called out to him.

Xiao Yeyang paused, turned to look at Daohua, then glanced at his concerned grandmother Gu Jian and Master Gu Jian, and smiled, “I need to inform the Imperial Uncle about the gold mine.”

Daohua hurriedly stood up with the peanuts, placed them on a plate on the table, and then looked at Xiao Yeyang with sparkling eyes, “Xiao Yeyang, let me ask you, if I help find the gold mine, will the Emperor knight me as a county princess?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang was taken aback, “…County princess?”

Daohua became a bit anxious, “What, is that not possible?” As she spoke, she huffed coldly, “As expected, not a single true word comes from Xiaowu and his people’s mouths, making me happy for nothing.”

Hearing his apprentice’s tone, Gu Jian quickly looked over, “What, you really think you can find a gold mine?”

Daohua lifted her chin, “I’ve always been lucky. I believe that if I set my mind to it, I will definitely find it.”

Gu Jian was somewhat at a loss for words, “Ningmen Prefecture is so vast, do you think you’ll find a gold mine just by stepping outside? Xiaowu deployed so many people to search and found nothing, could a young girl like her find it?”

Daohua fell silent for a moment, “There’s no telling about things in this world, what if I’m the blind cat that catches a dead mouse?” Saying that, she looked at Xiao Yeyang with expectation, “Can you help me ask?”
