The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 722

Chapter 722: Chapter 650, Upholding the System_1

Grandma Gu was buried seven days after her spirit was laid to rest, laid to rest in the ancestral tomb of the Gu family, all as she had arranged long ago with Gu Jian.

After Grandma Gu’s burial, Old Madam Yan was ready to return to Ningmen Prefecture with Yan Zhigao, Madam Li, and Yan Wenxiu.

With Sister Gu gone, it was inappropriate for her to stay any longer at Taohua Temple.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, however, stayed behind, partly to mourn and partly because they couldn’t put their minds at ease about Gu Jian.

"Father, Mother, should I stay too? It’s not right to leave Big Sister here alone."

On the road to the ferry crossing, Yan Wenxiu, kept in the dark, looked back with unease at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang walking side by side.

Yan Zhigao glanced at Madam Li, who then looked towards Old Madam Yan.

Old Madam Yan shook her head, "Master Gu is a bit eccentric in temperament, and at this time, he definitely wouldn’t want to see outsiders. Wenxiu, go back with us."

Yan Wenxiu didn’t expect his grandmother to respond like that. He couldn’t believe she didn’t understand his concern, for it was not good for Big Sister’s reputation to stay alone with Yeyang.

Seeing that his eldest son wanted to say more, Yan Zhigao interrupted firmly, "That’s enough, listen to your grandmother."

Yan Wenxiu furrowed his brows, more questions arising in his mind.

His father had put aside his public duties to stay here, joining his mother and grandmother, tirelessly holding vigil for seven days for Grandma Gu.

This was something he could not understand.

True, Master Gu was his elder sister’s master, and Grandma Gu could be considered a relative, but it would have been enough for their family to mourn her passing without needing to hold a vigil personally.

Now, even though they were well aware that letting Big Sister stay with Yeyang could harm her reputation, his grandmother, father, and mother had done nothing to intervene.

This was highly unusual.

Soon, the group reached the ferry crossing.

Madam Li held onto Daohua, "Take good care of your master, and send word to us at home if there’s any trouble."

Daohua nodded, "Mother, I understand."

Madam Li then gave Xiao Yeyang a look, still hesitant, as she was still coming to terms with the fact of his being her son-in-law.

Xiao Yeyang saw this and took the initiative to ask, "Auntie, do you have any instructions for Yeyang?" his attitude extremely respectful.

Madam Li: "...Take good care of Daohua."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, Auntie, I will." Then he looked to Yan Zhigao and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you have any instructions?"

Yan Zhigao also struggled momentarily to adjust to the role reversal, remembering he was now Xiao Yeyang’s father-in-law, and thus he shook his head with an attempt at a stern face.

Yan Wenxiu stood aside quietly watching, feeling that everyone was acting rather peculiar.

After Old Madam Yan gave a few instructions to Daohua, everyone boarded the ship to depart.

Watching the boat sail into the distance, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua turned and walked back to Taohua Temple.

...

On the boat, Yan Wenxiu looked at the tightly closed cabin door, was tempted to knock and enter, but after hesitating, he gave up the idea.

His grandmother and parents kept the matters from him, presumably because they didn’t want him to know, so it wasn’t right for him to force the issue.
