The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534 -492, Find Someone_1

This year was the Yan Family’s first New Year celebration in Ningmen Prefecture, and as the head of the household, together with the conferment of Old Madam Yan and Madam Li’s royal titles, as soon as mid-December passed, the Yan Family’s doorstep was besieged by people delivering New Year gifts.

As in previous years, Daohua was brought out by Madam Li to tally the New Year gifts from various households, while also arranging the return gifts.

In the first few days, Daohua still had Xiao Yeyang on her mind, but as things got increasingly busy, and both Yan Wenkai and Wentao assured her there was nothing unusual with Xiao Yeyang, she let go of her worries. By the time she finally had a moment to herself, it was already the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month.

At lunchtime, Daohua saw Wentao and Yan Wenkai in Old Madam’s courtyard and immediately approached them, asking, “Third Brother, Fourth Brother, why are you guys at home? Aren’t you usually out handling affairs at this time?”

Yan Wenkai replied grumpily, “Even Zhou Papi wouldn’t be as heartless as you; it’s New Year’s Eve the day after tomorrow, aren’t you going to let us have a couple of days off?”

Hearing this, Daohua smiled and slapped her own head, “Look at me, I’ve been so busy I even lost track of the date. By the way, when did you start your break?”

Yan Wenkai: “We’ve been off since the twenty-third.”

Daohua’s face showed surprise: “That’s even earlier than father’s break. Since you guys are on holiday, why didn’t you invite Xiao Yeyang over to our place?”

Yan Wenkai snorted: “Don’t bring him up. The Little Prince has been nowhere to be found lately.”

Daohua’s eyebrows furrowed as she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yan Wenkai’s sleeve, “What do you mean ‘nowhere to be found’? Didn’t you say he was fine just a few days ago?”

Seeing the urgency on Daohua’s face, Wentao asked, “Daohua, do you know what’s happened to the Little Prince?”

Daohua: “Never mind that for now; just tell me what’s going on with Xiao Yeyang?”

Seeing Daohua’s serious expression, Yan Wenkai and Wentao exchanged a glance, their faces becoming serious as well.

Yan Wenkai scratched his head: “Nothing special really, just that on the twenty-second, the Little Prince threw a fit and smashed a table. Other than that, he’s been normal.”

Daohua frowned, “Why would he throw a fit?”

Wentao: “It seemed to be because he received a letter. We thought it was from Governor Wu, pushing him to decode Prince End’s secret letter.”

Daohua felt a jolt in her heart. Could it be a letter from Beijing? Could Prince Ping really be about to officially instate Madam Ma as his principal wife?

Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua, noticing her complexion was amiss, worry appeared on his face: “Big Sister, what’s really wrong with the Little Prince? After he lost his temper that day, De Fu came in the afternoon to inform us of the break, and since then, we haven’t seen the Little Prince again.”

Daohua: “Haven’t you gone looking for him?”

Yan Wenkai: “Of course we did. We’ve looked in his residence in the city, the Glass Factory, even the military camp, but there’s no one there.”

Daohua had tight furrows in her brow and after a moment of silence she said to Wang Manman, “Tell Brother Xiaoliu to prepare the carriage; I need to go out for a bit.”

Wentao spoke up: “If you’re planning to visit the Little Prince’s residence, there’s no need. Wenkai and I have been going there every day, and the gatekeeper always says the Little Prince isn’t there.”

Unswayed, Daohua signaled to Wang Manman to hurry and prepare the carriage. After she left, Daohua said, “Maybe he just doesn’t want to see anyone.”

Yan Wenkai’s brow was furrowed, “Big Sister, what’s really going on?”

Daohua: “…I’m not sure if the news is accurate, I’ll tell you both after I’ve seen Xiao Yeyang.”

After a hasty lunch, Daohua got Madam Li’s permission under the pretext of needing to check on the shops, and she left the house with Wenkai and Wentao.

Once outside of the Yan Residence, the three headed straight for Xiao Yeyang’s residence.

Unfortunately, upon arriving at the residence’s front door, the gatekeeper still insisted Xiao Yeyang wasn’t there.

Yan Wenkai glanced at Daohua, who had followed them, and after a moment of thought, he pulled a servant who usually joked around with them aside, “Be honest with me, lad. Is the Little Prince really not in the residence, or is it just that he doesn’t want to see us?”

Watching Daohua staring intently at the surrounding wall, Yan Wenkai’s cheeks twitched, “Big sister, please don’t tell me you’re planning to climb over the wall?” _{freёwebnovel.com}
