The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642: Chapter 580, Hard to Part_1

Gu Jian had processed the Lingzhi mushroom and Polygonum multiflorum that very night, and the next day, he had changed the prescription for Grandma Gu. That evening, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang noticed that Gu Jian made fewer visits to Grandma Gu’s room than usual.

"The Lingzhi and Polygonum multiflorum you gathered this time are extremely effective. After my sister took the new medicine, she slept more soundly at night than ever before."

Seeing that Gu Jian’s brow was no longer furrowed, both Daohua and Xiao Yeyang felt relieved.

Daohua, "Master, tomorrow is the third day of May. We should be heading back. We’ll come to see you and Grandma again after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Gu Jian nodded, "It is indeed time to return. You have been away long enough this time. Next time you come, remember to bring your grandmother with you."

Daohua, "Alright."

After breakfast, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang boarded the ship and left.

As soon as the two left, Dongli sent a message to Beijing. Ever since the old madam fell ill, the master had been constantly worried about her. He would inquire about her health every few days. Now that the two missing ingredients had been found and the old madam’s condition had improved with the new medicine, it was time to put the master’s mind at ease.

...

Due to the arrival of the Guo and Jiang families, many people were watching Xiao Yeyang closely. To avoid attracting attention, Xiao Yeyang still chose to leave with Daohua through the abandoned dock.

After disembarking, Xiao Yeyang accompanied Daohua in the carriage as usual.

"After we return this time, are you going to pay a visit to Madam Guo?" Daohua asked curiously, looking at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and smiled, "Do you want me to go?"

Daohua turned her head toward the window, "Whether you go or not is up to you. She’s your aunt, and it has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Yeyang chuckled and took Daohua’s chrysanthemum Kesi silk fan to fan himself casually, "My aunt isn’t very close to me, but out of respect for my uncle, I’ll certainly have to meet her."

Saying this, a sly gleam passed through his eyes.

"I can’t even remember what my cousin Xueming looks like, but they say a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. Since you’ve praised her so much before, I’ll have to go and see for myself just how beautiful she has turned out to be."

Daohua looked at him sideways, "Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll congratulate you in advance for gaining another cousin of stunning beauty."

Listening to Daohua’s sour tone, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but laugh softly. He moved closer to sit beside Daohua, "That’s not certain. I have high standards."

Seeing his grinning face, Daohua grabbed the fan with a whoosh and vigorously fanned herself, looking out the window and ignoring him.

Xiao Yeyang saw this and nudged her with his elbow, chuckling, "With the likes of Miss Yan before me, it’s tough for anyone else to catch my eye."

Hearing this, Daohua turned to give Xiao Yeyang a sidelong glance, "Don’t flatter me. I’m just the daughter of a small-time Magistrate, which is nothing compared to the daughters of the Duke Residence."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua’s expression and, seeing that she wasn’t joking, his smile faded, grabbing Daohua’s hand, "In my heart, no one can compare to you."

Daohua shook her hand, trying to pull away from Xiao Yeyang, but failed. In the end, she just fanned herself and said, "You may not care about my status, but others will. Perhaps..."

At this point, Daohua sat upright, looking straight at Xiao Yeyang.

"Perhaps one day, someone will force you to make a choice..."

Xiao Yeyang’s expression suddenly turned serious, his gaze fixed on Daohua, "That day will never come. I know what you’re about to say. Some people have no choice but to follow their family’s wishes because they can’t break away from their clan and are unwilling to give up everything their family offers them, but I can, I can..."

Daohua quickly used the fan to cover Xiao Yeyang’s mouth, stopping him from continuing, "Don’t talk nonsense."

Xiao Yeyang removed the fan, straightened Daohua’s body to face him, "Yan Yiyi, I will work hard to earn merits. Believe me, I’m not the child I used to be. I won’t let anyone dictate my life anymore."

Daohua didn’t really want to discuss this heavy and complicated topic. She waved the fan hastily, and seeing that there were more people outside the window, she quickly changed the subject, "We must be nearing the city gate. Shouldn’t you get off the carriage now?"

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t propose marriage directly, he really wanted to be straightforward with Daohua and settle the matter, so she wouldn’t have to keep guessing.

At this moment, the servant De Fu’s voice could be heard.

"Master, it’s time to get off."

Xiao Yeyang ’hmm’d in response, looking at Daohua, "I’ll get off now. If there’s anything, I’ll have your fourth brother tell you."

Daohua quickly asked, "How did you manage to persuade my fourth brother to agree to deliver messages for you?"

Xiao Yeyang pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course, it’s thanks to my personal charm. Who wouldn’t be wholeheartedly convinced by someone as outstanding as me?" With that, he jumped off the carriage.

Daohua shook her head with a smile, "You’re really full of yourself."

"What did you say about me?"

At this moment, Xiao Yeyang lifted the curtains from outside and stretched his neck to look at Daohua’s right foot, "You need to take good care of that foot. Don’t move around too much these next few days."
