The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Chapter 415, Can’t Fool Me_1

Three days after the fifth master and his companions left, Xiao Yeyang arrived.

Seeing the travel-worn Xiao Yeyang, Granny Gu’s face filled with sympathy as she hurriedly asked him to sit down and rest.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and paid his respects to Granny Gu and Gu Jian before sitting next to Daohua.

Daohua poured him a cup of tea and asked, “Why did you only come now?”

At this, Xiao Yeyang paused in his tea-drinking, a smile in his eyes as he looked at Daohua, “Do you miss me that much?”

Daohua rolled her eyes, “The people you were looking for, I caught them a few days ago. Unfortunately, you never showed up, and now they’ve left.”

...

Xiao Yeyang’s expression turned serious as he set down the cup, “Who did you say you caught?”

Daohua, “The people from your portrait, that An steward, and what’s-their-names, fifth master, Wu master, and the like.”

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes widened in shock as he abruptly stood up, “Where are they now?”

Daohua, “They left, just three days ago.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of regret appeared on Xiao Yeyang’s face, but he slowly sat back down.

No wonder Uncle Rui Wang had sent a message telling him not to continue searching for his Imperial Uncle. It turned out he had gone back.

Only it’s a pity that he hadn’t had the chance to meet with his Imperial Uncle.

His eagerness in searching for his Imperial Uncle this time was not only because of Uncle Rui Wang’s orders but also because he wanted to see his Imperial Uncle, whom he hadn’t seen for several years.

He hadn’t expected to miss the opportunity like this.

But it was for the best that his Imperial Uncle had left; it is not as safe outside as it is in Beijing, and the sooner he returned, the sooner everyone would be at ease.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with curiosity, “How did you manage to catch them?”

Daohua immediately began to recount with enthusiasm, “They disguised themselves as farmers, and I know farmers well, so I saw through their disguise at a glance… I used sleeping powder to knock them out… and tied them up and shipped them to Taohua Village.”

Watching Daohua tell her story with such animation, Xiao Yeyang internally sweated for her. If she knew whom she had knocked out with sleeping powder, would she be scared?

He then couldn’t help but find the matter somewhat amusing. Not to mention his Imperial Uncle, Grand Secretary Yang, and Steward An, even Governor Wu and Leader Wei fell into Daohua’s hands. Those two would probably be unable to raise their heads with pride for a long while after this.

Daohua had been speaking with high spirits at first, but as she continued, the smile gradually faded from her face, “A palm struck the back of my neck, and I was instantly knocked unconscious.” As she spoke, she raised her hand to rub her neck, “It still hurts a bit even now.”

Xiao Yeyang’s expression instantly darkened, “Which damn fool laid hands on you? Is it serious?” he said, preparing to rise as if to examine Daohua’s injury.

“Ahem~”

As he made a move, Gu Jian’s cough sounded.

Xiao Yeyang’s body stiffened, and he awkwardly sat back down.

Gu Jian gave him a slight, cool sidelong glance and huffed.

Unaware of the silent battle between the two men, Daohua continued to question Xiao Yeyang, “Xiao Yeyang, they aren’t bad people, right?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “No, they aren’t.”

Daohua let out a sigh of relief, “That’s good. My third brother and fourth brother haven’t come back yet; I don’t know where that group took them.” She said, glaring slightly at Xiao Yeyang, “Then why did you tell me before that An steward was not a good person?”

Xiao Yeyang replied without any burden, “That’s because he bullied me when I was a child.”

Daohua fell silent for a moment, “You should have told me earlier; then I could have helped you get revenge.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled knowingly.

Gu Jian, on the other hand, gave Daohua a glance, “What revenge are you planning to exact?”

Xiao Yeyang felt his arms go numb and could no longer continue catching peanuts. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
