The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 535

Chapter 535 -493, A Walk in the Snow_1

Due to the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, Yan Wenkai and Wentao followed Daohua in the carriage this time. On the way back to the Yan Residence, Yan Wenkai asked Daohua, “Big sister, why didn’t you look for anyone after climbing over the wall just now?”

Daohua replied, “Xiao Yeyang isn’t there, so who should I look for?”

The absence of both Advisor Jiang and Governor Guo indicated that Xiao Yeyang was truly avoiding them.

Yan Wenkai frowned, “Then why did you climb over the wall?”

Daohua gave Yan Wenkai a ‘are you stupid’ look, “Of course, to tell Xiao Yeyang that I’m looking for him.”

Yan Wenkai was a bit slow to catch on and looked blankly at Wentao, waiting for him to clear up the confusion.

Wentao was silent for a moment before he said, “There must be Hidden Guards left by the Little Prince over at the residence. If anything urgent comes up, the Hidden Guards would surely have a way to notify the Little Prince.” He glanced at Daohua, “So, the words you said to Manman in the end were for the Hidden Guard to hear?” _{freēwēbnovel.com}

Daohua nodded, her brows furrowed with worry.

Since both Governor Guo and Advisor Jiang had personally come to find Xiao Yeyang, it seemed highly likely that the rumor about Prince Ping supporting the elevation of Lady Ma was true.

“Smack!”

Hearing Wentao’s explanation, Yan Wenkai slapped his own head hard, “Oh no, why didn’t I think of that? If I’d known, I would have had the Hidden Guard notify the Little Prince for me.”

Wentao glanced at him with a melancholic look, subtly implying that this tactic would only work for Daohua. Even if they were to fall and die from wall climbing, he reckoned the Hidden Guard wouldn’t spare them a second glance.

A short while later, Yan Wenkai asked again, “By telling the Little Prince that you’re looking for him, do you think he’ll come out to see you?” he mused, stroking his chin thoughtfully, “It’s clear to me now. The Little Prince is intentionally hiding, but why?”

Wentao also looked towards Daohua.

Daohua remained silent and did not speak.

Wentao and Yan Wenkai exchanged glances, feeling that Daohua must know something. But since this little sister had always been so principled, they really couldn’t do anything if she chose not to share.

Soon, the three of them returned to the Yan Residence.

That night, Daohua lay in bed tossing and turning, her mind filled with thoughts of Xiao Yeyang—where he might be, what he could be doing, and whether he was feeling very upset right now.

Wang Manman, who was on the night shift outside, heard the commotion, put on her coat and came in to add more coal to the brazier, “Miss, you should get some sleep. The Little Prince has De Fu to look after him; he’ll be fine. Aren’t you going to see the Little Prince tomorrow? You need to be well-rested.”

Just as Wang Manman finished tending to the coal basin and was about to leave, Daohua suddenly asked, “Do you think he will show up to meet me tomorrow?”

Wang Manman smiled, “Of course he will. The Little Prince misses you so much, how could he ignore you climbing the wall?”

Daohua wasn’t so sure, “Not necessarily, he knows I’m capable, a little wall climbing won’t worry him, would it?”

Wang Manman chuckled, “Even if you get a tiny scratch, the Little Prince would worry.”

Daohua sighed, “Maybe before, but this time… if Prince Ping really succeeds in promoting Lady Ma, it would hit Xiao Yeyang hard. He might not want to see anyone at this time.”

Now Wang Manman was not so sure either. If she were in his shoes, she guessed she might want to hide as well, “…Miss, you should get a good night’s sleep, and we’ll go over and see tomorrow, then we’ll know everything, right?”

Daohua didn’t say more and gestured Wang Manman to go to sleep, while she herself continued to stare at the canopy above, lost in thought…

The next morning, Daohua got out of bed not feeling very refreshed, had breakfast, and then stepped out again, accompanied by Yan Wenkai and Wentao.

The three of them first went to the main gate to inquire and found out that Xiao Yeyang was still not there. Then they headed to the spot where they had climbed over the wall the day before.

Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua, “Climbing again?”

Daohua nodded.

Yan Wenkai quickly walked to the corner of the wall and crouched down, “Come on, today your fourth brother will give you a boost up.”

This time, Daohua wandered around the residence for a while.
