The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 745

Chapter 745: Chapter 667, Lord Dog_1

After leaving the restaurant, Daohua and Han Xinran were no longer in the mood to continue strolling; they got into the carriage and headed back to the Yan Residence.

On the way, Han Xinran looked at Daohua and hesitated to say, "Madam Guo seemed rather strange today."

Daohua scoffed, "These noble ladies from Beijing are probably praised too much and have become dim-witted, developing all sorts of odd habits. They always like to preach to others. Just indulge them. They give you a good face; if you don’t play along, they’ll get all huffy. Who cares about her."

Han Xinran gained a new understanding of her husband’s legitimate sister; such temperament... it’s not something any ordinary family can muster.

Soon, they arrived at the Yan Residence. After getting off the carriage, Daohua told Han Xinran to go ahead while she lagged a few steps behind and whispered some instructions to Yan Shouhou, "Send a couple of clever lads to keep an eye on the Guo Family. If they make any moves against the Yan Family in the near future, come and tell me immediately."

Yan Shouhou departed with a serious expression on his face.

Daohua returned to her own courtyard and sighed as she looked at the parrot hanging under the eaves.

Her engagement to Xiao Yeyang hadn’t even been announced yet, and it had already attracted the Jiang Family and the Guo Family.

She thought she could breathe easier after the Jiang Family left, but who knew the Guo Family would show up next. She wondered where Madam Guo and her daughter had heard the rumors from?

Afterward, Daohua stayed at home for a few days, only returning to Taohua Village after the Double Ninth Festival had passed.

During this time, there was no movement from the Guo Family. If it weren’t for the undisguised hostility exhibited by Madam Guo and her daughter at the restaurant, Daohua might have thought she was overthinking things.

"Continue keeping an eye on the Guo Family, don’t relax."

This time back in Taohua Village, Daohua noticed that Gu Jian was in a good mood, so she immediately smiled and asked, "Master, what good fortune have you encountered? Tell your disciple about it and let me share your joy."

Gu Jian glanced sideways at his disciple and leisurely sipped his tea before saying, "Jiang Zhengyuan was attacked on his way back to Beijing. It seems he sustained a serious injury and is likely to be bedridden and rely on medicine for the rest of his days."

Daohua paused for a moment before realizing that Jiang Zhengyuan was Advisor Jiang. She was quite pleased to hear this and quickly asked, "Who did it?"

Gu Jian chuckled, "Who else but Prince Eight’s men? The Jadeite Dragon Seal was crafted by the late emperor for Prince Eight as a symbol of his identity; of course he would want it back."

Daohua, "Did they get it back?"

Gu Jian shook his head with a smile, "The Jadeite Dragon Seal that fell into their hands, the Yuan Family would not dare to lose." As he said this, Gu Jian looked at his disciple with complete satisfaction.

"Your tactic was a bit crude, but the effect was indeed excellent."

The people of the Jiang Family are not easy to deal with, and this time the disciple has handed the opportunity to the emperor.

With the symbol of Prince Eight appearing on Jiang Zhengyuan, in order to save face, the Jiang Family would have to cough up something.

Daohua smiled, "It’s just making use of something useless!" She originally thought the broken-in-two Jadeite Dragon Seal was of no use, but it turned out to play such a significant role.

...

Meanwhile, in the Northern Frontier, Xiqu City.

On a dark and windy night, more than a dozen black figures flitted across the towering city walls, swiftly crossing the battlements and silently infiltrating the city.

Outside the city, Xia Teng’s army lay in ambush several miles away, silently waiting for the signal from inside.

"Commander Chui, do you think we can take back Xiqu City this time?"

With his lips tightly pressed together, Chui Gang glanced at Xiu Xiangchen beside him and spoke gravely, "You are the Commander of the Jinling Guard; don’t you know the capabilities of your own men?"

Xiu Xiangchen shrugged, "Do you think that person is someone I can order around?"

Chui Gang frowned, "Although Lord Xiao’s status is indeed prestigious, since he’s out here on official duties, he should follow the orders of his superiors." After saying this, he disdainfully looked at Xiu Xiangchen with an expression that suggested Xiu lacked the ability to take charge.
