The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655: Chapter 591: Solving the Issue with Bad Taohua (1)

The young ladies continued to chat and laugh, changing clothes seemed like an offhand question from Guo Xueming, causing no ripples at all.

Seeing Guo Xueming and Chen Jiarou sitting together, Daohua spoke up, "Their relationship seems quite good."

Su Shiyu smiled faintly, "Although the Chen family doesn’t hold high office, the old Madam Chen is the Emperor’s wet nurse. In Beijing, their family still attracts attention."

Dong Yuanyao took over the conversation, "There’s a beauty ranking in Beijing, and both Guo Xueming and Chen Jiarou have a place on it. They must have private connections."

Su Shiyu looked at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, "Earlier, when other young ladies were changing, Miss Guo didn’t ask a single question, but she singled out the two of you. Did you offend her?"

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao shook their heads simultaneously.

Dong Yuanyao, "Who has the time to bother with her."

Su Shiyu glanced at Guo Xueming, "Someone as versatile and well-connected as her wouldn’t easily embarrass others. It seemed to me that her questioning you two was more of a probing nature."

Daohua’s eyes flickered.

Standing by, Hong Yu whispered, "Previously, this servant saw Miss Guo’s maid inquiring about the Little Prince’s whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu both looked toward Daohua.

Seeing the two staring at her, Daohua was somewhat speechless, "Why look at me?"

Dong Yuanyao patted her hand, "You have to be careful from now on. This Guo Xueming ranks much higher than Jiang Wanying. Look at what she did just now, if not for Miss Zhu stepping in, we would have suffered in silence. Even after the situation calmed down, nobody thought it was her causing trouble."

"Daughters raised by these noble families are the best at digging pits for others unintentionally. One careless move and you might fall right into the trap they’ve set up with their words, leaving you in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation."

Daohua turned her head to glance at Guo Xueming, then quickly averted her gaze, saying nothing.

Suddenly, loud noises erupted from downstairs.

While the women had not yet sensed anything amiss, the men had already started shouting.

"Quick, someone, protect all the officials!"

No sooner had the voice fallen, "whoosh whoosh whoosh," a number of arrows flew towards the upper floor.

An official failed to dodge; an arrow struck him directly in the thigh, and blood streamed out instantly.

Seeing bloodstains on the ground, the women began to scream.

Daohua quickly pulled Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu, running towards Madam Li and the others.

To facilitate the view of the scene below, the Guankou Building had only a few railings apart from the left and right walls, providing nowhere to hide from the arrows.

"Hide behind the tables and chairs!"

"Get down!"

Seeing the women running around in panic, someone from the men’s side yelled out.

Daohua led Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu to Madam Li’s group and hurriedly pulled them behind the tables and chairs.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Arrow after arrow hit the tables and chairs, and the Guankou Building plunged into chaos.

As the young ladies trembled in fear, the men’s side had some people come over, led by Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.

They came over and blocked all the incoming arrows.

Soon, soldiers under Governor Guo hurriedly arrived, and a fierce battle ensued from downstairs.

Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai, protecting Madam Li and the others, stood upstairs without moving, not intending to go down and help.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sounds of fighting gradually died down until they disappeared.

Only then did the women recover from their fright.

"What happened here?"

"How come there are assassins?"

"Almost lost my life watching the dragon boat race, I’ll never come out again."
