The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 743

Chapter 743: Chapter 665, As One Wave Settles, Another Rises_1

The Yuan Family’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended abruptly due to the arrest of Advisor Jiang.

Every household left in a rush without even having dinner.

The incident today involved both the Jiang Family and the Eight Princes; nobody wanted to draw trouble onto themselves.

At the gate of the Yuan Residence, carriages from various households left in an orderly manner, everyone was very quiet, and no one talked.

Master Su and Yan Zhigao exchanged glances silently and then left with their families respectively.

Su Residence.

As soon as Master Su returned, he went to Old Master Su and reported what had happened at the Yuan Family’s banquet.

Old Master Su fell silent for a moment, then smiled meaningfully, "The Provincial Governor Yuan arresting Advisor Jiang... Killing two birds with one stone! Regardless of the reason, the Yuan and Jiang families are now pitted against each other."

Master Su, "Father, who do you think did it?"

A gleam flashed in Old Master Su’s eyes, and his mind involuntarily thought of the Yan Family.

But did the Yan Family have the capability?

Not to mention anything else, the jadeite dragon knob seal wasn’t something the Yan Family could obtain.

"Don’t worry about it too much, just make sure to take good care of the Su Family. Whether it’s the Jiang Family or the Eight Princes, our family mustn’t get involved at all."

Li Residence.

After Daohua and her entourage returned, they actually had a jolly reunion dinner with the Li Family.

Whether the Jiang Family got entangled with the party of the Eight Princes, or the Yuan Family was forced to confront the Jiang Family, it was all good news for the Yan Family.

After the meal, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li returned to the guest courtyard together.

Madam Li passed a damp towel to Yan Zhigao to wipe his face.

Yan Zhigao quickly wiped his face twice and then handed the towel back to Madam Li. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "What has Daohua been up to these days?"

Madam Li was startled, "She hasn’t been doing much, just staying with her mother."

Yan Zhigao nodded and took a sip of tea, but his mind was on the events that had occurred at the Yuan Residence today.

For some reason, he kept feeling that today’s events had something to do with that girl Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang must have left some men for Daohua, right?

Otherwise, the missing military provisions could not have been retrieved so smoothly.

If today’s events were indeed orchestrated by his daughter, then he truly needed to see her in a new light.

To openly point out during the Yuan Family’s banquet that Advisor Jiang was involved with the Eight Princes—with so many officials watching, and their backers’ intertwined influences—Provincial Governor Yuan wouldn’t have been able to suppress it even if he wanted to and could only arrest Advisor Jiang personally.

The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Palace, already somewhat displeased with the Virtuous Consort who had produced five princes and two princesses, would see Yuan’s and Jiang’s relationship turn even more tense as a result.

Madam Li looked at Yan Zhigao as he furrowed his brows in thought and asked, "What are you thinking about, my lord?"

Yan Zhigao smiled, "I’m thinking about our daughter. I was worried before that she wouldn’t be able to handle the intricate relationships after marrying into the Imperial Family, but judging from the incident of the missing military provisions, our daughter is quite capable, which is quite reassuring for me."

Madam Li smiled, looking proud, "Of course. When you were in trouble before, so many people were at home, but only our daughter was able to stand up and take charge."

After speaking, she paused.

"Will Advisor Jiang face consequences this time?"

Yan Zhigao fell silent for a moment, "It depends on what the Emperor thinks. The token of the Eight Princes fell from Advisor Jiang’s embrace; even if he’s branded as a member of the Eight Princes Party, no one will say anything."

Madam Li, "I hope the Emperor will revoke Advisor Jiang’s position. Otherwise, if he stays in Zhongzhou, he will definitely cause more trouble for our family."

Yan Zhigao did not respond. The Northern Frontier was still in stalemate with the Eight Princes, and it wasn’t sure that the Emperor would choose this moment to strike against the Jiang Family.

The next day, Yan Zhigao set sail with his family back to Ningmen Prefecture.

Meanwhile, at the Governor’s Office, Advisor Jiang, shackled in handcuffs and fetters, was escorted onto a prison cart. After discussing with his staff, Provincial Governor Yuan felt it was best to send Advisor Jiang to the capital as soon as possible.

Advisor Jiang looked coldly at Provincial Governor Yuan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He had been careless this time, assuming the Yuan Family wouldn’t dare confront the Jiang Family. Remembering the Yuan Family’s maid who had jostled him the day before, the chill in Advisor Jiang’s eyes intensified.
