The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 244, Caught Red-Handed_1

The servants of the Yan Family had always known about Daohua’s ferocity, yet although they respected her to her face, in their hearts, there was not much fear.

After all, Daohua was usualy very kind to the servants, she always gave orders and instructions gently and was almost never known to beat or scold them.

Working in the Daohua Pavilion was recognized as the most relaxed and comfortable job in the Yan Residence.

However, this time the expulsion of Madam Ren and her son made everyone truly realize the might of the Yan Family’s eldest daughter.

Watching Madam Ren, who was gagged and dragged away, the entire main courtyard fell silent. The servants all lowered their heads, not daring to speak out, even Ping Tong and Ping Xiao were stunned by Daohua’s sudden rage.

Feeling the fear in the eyes around her under the scorching sun, the fire in Daohua’s chest wouldn’t subside no matter what.

In these days, the worry for her elder brothers, the fatigue of looking after her grandmother and her mother, and the mental exhaustion from dealing with the various household affairs had already stretched her emotions taut.

At the moment, she was a lit fuse.

Yet some people just insisted on crashing into her head-on.

Madam Ren was but a minor character, those who truly stirred up gossip in the Yan Residence were from the Shuangxin Courtyard.

Just thinking about her elder brothers’ uncertain fate, her grandmother and mother lying sick in bed, and the people from Shuangxin Courtyard hosting friends and feasting, the fire in Daohua’s heart blazed even more fiercely.

“Didn’t Aunt Lin’s family come? Let’s go, we should have a look as well!”

Daohua stood up ‘swoosh’ and quickly stepped out of the room, heading straight for the Shuangxin Courtyard.

When Wang Manman saw this, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly called several matrons from the main court and quickly followed.

These days, she could feel the anger brewing in the young lady’s heart. If she didn’t let it all out today, there would be no end to it.

Ping Tong and Ping Xiao exchanged a glance, their faces filled with anxiety.

Ping Xiao said with some self-reproach, “Oh no, it’s all my fault. If I had known that the young lady would get so angry, I wouldn’t have talked about the kitchen earlier.”

But Ping Tong shook her head, “The young lady would have found out sooner or later. You just made it happen earlier. After giving birth to the fifth young mistress, Aunt Lin had quieted down and was only competing for favor with Aunt Liu.”

“But now, with elder brother and fourth brother trapped in Xingyun Prefecture, she sees her chance coming. It hasn’t been long, and she’s already starting to stir things up. It’s good for the eldest young mistress to discipline her, to keep her from forgetting her place.”

Ping Xiao was somewhat worried, “But still, Aunt Lin is the lord’s concubine. If the eldest young mistress confronts her directly, I’m afraid it won’t be good.”

Ping Tong fell silent for a moment, “Our eldest young mistress isn’t afraid of the lord.” Although a servant herself, she saw clearly that the eldest young mistress was the most confident person in the Yan Residence.

…

Shuangxin Courtyard.

When Daohua arrived with her entourage, there was no one in the courtyard except for two maids guarding the gate under the corridor.

Upon seeing Daohua coming, the maids turned to inform the people inside, but unfortunately, Wang Manman, after receiving a sign from Daohua, quickly stopped them with a few swift steps.

Daohua, ignoring the arrested maids, walked straight toward the main hall. As she stepped onto the threshold, she overheard someone inside saying.

“Your brother said, the plague in Xingyun Prefecture is very serious. Now not only is the city sealed off, but the surrounding suburbs are also closed. Madam Li has lost her two sons, they’re doomed for sure. Once they die, your brother-in-law will only have Wenbin as a son. Now that Madam Li has also fallen ill, without her sons, I guess she won’t live much longer. Once she passes away, the entire Yan Family will belong to you, sister.”
