The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752: Chapter 672, Counterattack_1

In mid-December, when every family in Ningmen Prefecture joyfully prepared for the New Year, the Fan Family was plunged into gloom, as Fan Tongzhi was arrested and put in jail.

While the second son of the Fan Family busied himself trying to save his father, where could he still remember all about Li Wangshi’s family?

Having been informed by someone from Daohua Pavilion, Li Wangshi’s family finally quieted down, and the Yan Family’s backyard no longer heard the quarreling voices coming from the guest courtyard.

Daohua Pavilion.

Wang Manman was helping Daohua pack up for the New Year celebration in Taohua Village; since the old gentleman didn’t want to celebrate New Year at the Yan Family’s house, Madam and the master let the young lady go there to accompany the old gentleman.

As Wang Manman packed, she said with a smile, "Once the Li Clan Leader arrives and takes Li Wangshi’s family away, this matter will be resolved, and our family can peacefully enjoy a good New Year."

Daohua, who was sitting at the desk by the window managing the shops’ account books, hesitated upon hearing Wang Manman’s words, "The matter is not yet resolved."

"From the very beginning, Li Wangshi’s family was but a pawn used to tarnish the Yan Family’s reputation. Even if Li Wangshi’s family is taken away, the Yan Family’s reputation has already been ruined, unless... the issue is rectified from the source."

Wang Manman was startled, the source... wasn’t that the Guo Family?

After hesitating a bit, Wang Manman reminded, "Miss, the Guo Family is your future husband’s maternal family." Considering your future husband’s position, we can’t afford to make things too stiff.

Daohua put down the account book, stood up, and gazed out at the snowy landscape from the window. After a long while, she murmured a question, "Tell me, if I were to have a dispute with the Guo Family, which side would Xiao Yeyang stand on?"

That was a question Wang Manman could not answer.

The future husband truly cared for the young miss, but his respect for the Governor was also genuine.

Daohua turned around, and upon seeing Wang Manman’s hesitant face, her eyes became resolute.

The gap between her and Xiao Yeyang was a reality. She could not afford to be submissive and compromising from the beginning because of this gap, as some issues, once started, would lead into endless troubles.

...

Guo Residence.

Madam Guo, with growing impatience, dismissed Madam Fan who had come seeking help.

Watching Madam Fan leave with choked sobs, Guo Xueming stepped into the room, "Mother, why has Madam Fan come again? The evidence of Fan Tongzhi’s corruption is conclusive, and it was the Jinling Guard that discovered it. What help could our family possibly offer? Instead of seeking help, it would be wiser to quickly raise the silver and repay the embezzled funds; this could, at least, reduce the punishment."

Madam Guo scoffed, "Madam Fan says that Fan Tongzhi being caught for corruption at this time is because of assisting our family against the Yan Family, and she asks us to find a solution."

Guo Xueming frowned, glancing at Madam Guo, "The timing is indeed too coincidental."

Madam Guo snorted coldly, "I did underestimate the Yan Family, Yeyang is with the Jinling Guard, and both Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao have been working with Yeyang for some time, so they must have built up some connections."

Guo Xueming showed concern, "Mother, without the back support from the Fan Family, the Li Family will not have the courage to cause trouble at the Yan Family anymore. Now that the Yan Family’s reputation in Ningmen Prefecture is already damaged, we better not get involved further. If things are blown out of proportion, it will not look good to my cousin."

Madam Guo smiled, "Don’t worry, I haven’t planned to do anything to the Yan Family. We should show some respect for the sake of Yeyang."
