The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 747

Chapter 747: Chapter 669, Ruining the Reputation_1

"So this is the Prefectural Governor’s Residence, indeed imposing."

Li Wangshi, supported by her two daughters-in-law, kept eyeing the Yan Family’s backyard, looking around, commenting here and there, as if she considered the place her own home.

"Out of all the siblings in the Li Family, it’s the third sister who’s the luckiest, to be able to live in such a large residence and have so many servants to attend to her."

Li Wangshi’s younger daughter-in-law immediately smiled and said, "Mother, you’re also very fortunate to have such a good daughter. In the future, you just wait and enjoy the good life." As she spoke, she also glanced at Yan Wenxiu.

"Eldest son, that’s the right idea, isn’t it?"

Yan Wenxiu looked indifferently at the merchant woman before him, whose eyes were full of schemes, and he simply couldn’t decide whether she was wildly fanciful or just astonishingly ignorant. Did she really think her family could freeload just like that?

Not deeming it worth his while to engage in further conversation, he had his servants take them to a guest courtyard and then turned to leave.

...

Daohua and Gu Jian only returned to Taohua Village in early December. Had it not been for the year-end approaching and many things needing attention at home, they wouldn’t have wanted to come back yet.

"Master, let’s go out and travel again after the spring begins next year."

"As your master, I don’t mind, but would the elders in your family agree?"

"As long as I tell them I’m accompanying you, they’ll definitely agree."

"Just keep using me as a shield, why don’t you."

After joking with Gu Jian for a while, Daohua began sorting out the gifts they had bought on their trip. She had only managed to sort out half of them when Wang Manman walked in with an unpleasant expression on her face.

Daohua looked up at her, "What’s wrong?"

Wang Manman: "Miss, something happened at home while we were away."

Daohua’s expression paused: "What happened?"

Wang Manman quickly said, "Miss, did you know you have a step-grandmother?"

After a moment of thought, Daohua did recall that Madam Li indeed had a stepmother: "There is such a person, but mother hasn’t had any contact with her for many years."

Wang Manman, full of indignation, continued, "But now, Madam’s stepmother has brought her family to live in our house and refuses to leave. What’s worse is that when they arrived, they made a scene right in front of our residence. Now, many in the prefectural city are gossiping that our madam is unfilial. Because of this, Madam has fainted from anger several times."

Upon hearing this, Daohua’s face immediately darkened: "Who told you this?"

Wang Manman: "The steward of the estate said so. He had gone to the provincial capital to deliver accounts and heard many people discussing this issue."

Daohua frowned, "Go and find Yan Shouhou for me."

Wang Manman nodded and was about to leave when she asked, "Miss, shouldn’t we go back to the residence to check on things immediately?"

Daohua was silent for a moment, "There’s no hurry, let’s first hear what Yan Shouhou has to say."

Without asking further, Wang Manman quickly went to find someone.

That afternoon, Yan Shouhou arrived at Taohua Temple.

Daohua looked at Yan Shouhou, "Tell me in detail what’s going on with the Li Family."

Yan Shouhou immediately recounted the events that had taken place at home over the past two months to Daohua.

"The Li Family members showed up uninvited in October. Madam didn’t want to see them, but Old Lady Li made a scene at the gate, attracting a lot of townspeople. The master, not wanting things to escalate, had no choice but to let them into the residence."
