The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Chapter 13, True Feelings Exist in the World_1

County Governor's Office's back courtyard.

A young man, dressed as a scholar and in his twenties, hurried toward a small courtyard.

"Greetings to Master Lin!"

The maids in the back courtyard saw the man and paid their respects one after another. They did not get up until he had walked far away.

"This Master Lin practically treats the County Governor's Office's back courtyard as his own home."

"Keep your voice down, will you? The madam hasn't said a thing; it's not our place to comment."

"Alas, since Lin's auntie is the favored concubine and her children are, therefore, favored too, the madam has no choice but to give her some respect."

"I wonder what Master Lin is doing at Shuangxin Courtyard?"

"Who knows? Whatever it is, it's none of our business..."

Shuangxin Courtyard.

As soon as Lin Cailiang entered the courtyard, he called out to a young woman of good looks and slender figure, "Hurry, get ready. We must go to the County Governor's Office's main gate immediately, the old lady has arrived."

"What?!"

Lin's auntie, who was watering the plants in the courtyard, was so startled that her watering can clattered to the ground.

Seeing Lin's auntie frozen in place, Lin Cailiang became increasingly impatient: "Oh, my dear sister, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call for Wenbin and Yishuang. This is your first time meeting the old lady; you must make a good impression."

"I rushed over here to tell you first. I'm sure the madam will also receive the news soon, so you best be quick. If you manage to see the old lady before the madam does, the old lady will surely take a fresh look at you."

Just moments ago, he had been preparing to return home when he witnessed the conflict between the Government Official and Yan's old lady.

He took advantage of the moment the Government Official was stunned by Yan's old lady's status and ran to find his sister.

Seeing the affection the master had for his sister, winning the old lady's favor would certainly make their lives even better in the future.

By then, Lin's auntie had also come to her senses: "Right, right, you're absolutely correct." With that, she ran into the house like a gust of wind, simultaneously getting ready and instructing the maids to call her son and daughter.

At the same time, someone had also gone to inform Yan Zhigao and his wife, Madam Li.

County Governor's Office's main gate.

Yan's old lady tenderly wiped the dust from Yan Wentao's face with a look of distress.

Her third grandson was honest and obedient. Along the way, he had carried her on his back for most of the journey. Even though his legs trembled with fatigue, he didn't utter a single complaint. Just seeing him pinned to the ground by the Government Official, unable to move, truly made her furious to the point of fuming.

"Grandmother, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all," said Yan Wentao, trying to ease his grandmother's worries—though as soon as he finished speaking, Daohua's "devil's claw" reached out and prodded his cheek forcefully.

"Ouch, Daohua, what are you doing?" Yan Wentao exclaimed, covering his face.

Daohua replied calmly, "Some people are swollen with pride; shouldn't I expose that?"

She did it on purpose, wanting to show her grandmother how badly her third brother was injured.

At that moment, her feelings were those of disappointment.

Even though she hadn't spent much time with her parents in this life, she still had expectations for them, especially her father. As a county magistrate, she had hoped to see a diligent and benevolent official.

But the behavior of those few Government Officials had thoroughly disgusted her.

Their propensity to bully the weak was fully on display.

If small minds indicate what larger behavior may look like, her father was probably not as good as her grandmother had described him to be.

She knew her grandmother's character well. Despite being just an old lady from a farming family, she was most sensible. Even the Clan Leader of the Yan Clan was always respectful toward her.

Why?

Because they admired her profound sense of justice.

She wouldn't make a fuss over those Government Officials, but her father definitely couldn't escape a berating and scolding.

While Daohua was contemplating all this, a young and beautiful woman, each hand holding a child, appeared at the County Governor's Office's main gate.

"Who let these beggars in? Quickly, drive them away—they stink so much!" cried the little boy in the beautiful woman's hand, pinching his nose and looking disdainfully at Daohua and the others.

The little girl also seemed distressed and ordered one of the nearby Government Officials, "What are you standing around for? Go chase them away this instant!"

Lin Cailiang, who was following behind, almost fell to his knees upon hearing his nephew and niece's words.

At this moment, there were only two words in his heart: it's over!
