The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 931

Chapter 931: Chapter 796, Abnormal

After they attended the recognition banquet in the palace, Prince Ping was invited by other royal relatives to have tea, while Xiao Yeyang took Daohua back to the Prince Residence.

Once back at the Prince Residence, neither of them thought about going to see Princess Consort Ma but went straight back to Pingxi Hall.

They had just had one round of family recognition at the Prince Residence and another in the palace. Though they hadn’t encountered any particular difficulties, the exhaustion from simply recognizing and remembering people had taken quite a toll on Daohua, not to mention having to deal with the shrewd imperial family women like Zhou Xuan.

All throughout, Daohua’s nerves had been tightly wound, fearing she might unwittingly fall into a trap laid by others. After relaxing, she felt mentally exhausted and, coupled with a lack of sleep the night before, she collapsed weakly onto the bed’s pillows once she returned to her room.

Seeing Daohua’s weary face, Xiao Yeyang felt a heart full of pity and sat down beside her, "Things will get better after these busy days."

Daohua uttered a groan, "I want to sleep for a while."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, then began to reach out to undo her clothing.

Daohua hurriedly slapped his hand away, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled helplessly, "How can you sleep without taking off your clothes?"

Daohua choked, hesitating for a moment, "That... I can undress myself."

Xiao Yeyang immediately crossed his arms and sat on the edge of the bed, calmly watching Daohua. After a while, seeing that Daohua hadn’t moved, he bent down close to her ear and chuckled, "Why aren’t you undressing? Could it be that you still want your husband to help you?"

Daohua glared at him, knowing that this man would not step away, so she gave up and got out of bed, taking off her outer clothing in front of him and climbed back into bed wearing just her undergarments.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang personally pulled over the blanket to cover her. Seeing Daohua’s surprised look, he smiled, "Go to sleep quickly, I won’t disturb you." After saying that, he even patted Daohua’s back as if to coax her to sleep.

Feeling the strangeness of his attentiveness, Daohua’s heart felt odd, but she was simply too tired to bother guessing his thoughts.

Once Daohua had fallen into a deep sleep, Xiao Yeyang got up and went to the study.

Thinking back on the murderous intent that flitted through the Empress Dowager’s eyes today in Cining Palace, Xiao Yeyang’s brows furrowed tightly. After a moment of silence, he summoned Defu, "Where’s... that person who was sent here?"

Defu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood who Xiao Yeyang was referring to, "Replying to the master, according to your previous instructions, he has been placed to work in the Huanyi Court, waiting for the second madam to inspect before deciding."

Xiao Yeyang said, "No need, send him directly to the main room, and from now on, keep him by Yiyi’s side for work."

Defu showed a look of surprise before quickly nodding, "Yes, this servant will do it right away."

Xiao Yeyang then added, "Summon Bu Gandang to me."

Afterward, Defu went to send the person to Daohua, and Bu Gandang met with Xiao Yeyang in the study.

"Congratulations to the master on your joyous wedding, wishing you and the madam a long, harmonious marriage filled with children and grandchildren."

Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile and casually tossed him a red scent pouch.

This was something that Daohua had had the maids in her room prepare especially. The pouch was embroidered with a design of a bride and groom saluting each other, and its contents included some silver and gold-crafted longans, peanuts, and lotus seeds.

Bu Gandang accepted the pouch with a laugh, "Thank you for the master’s reward." He carefully tucked the pouch into his chest, then spoke seriously, "Master, did you summon me to give any commands?"

Xiao Yeyang’s face grew solemn, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Jiang family. If there is anything amiss with the Jiang family, you must tell me immediately."

The Jiang family had been too quiet these past few months. Neither the Duke of Jiang nor the Princely Heir had made any move for Jiang Jinghui and had truly left him idle at home.
