The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767: Chapter 686: Just Like That, Sent Away_1

After Zhongqu City was reclaimed, Wu Jingyi took Wu Dingbo with him and left. The father and son had wanted to meet Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao, Yan Wenkai before leaving, but unfortunately, the three of them were out on official duties again.

The northern border war had been going on for some time, and the Imperial Court was anxious. They were anxious as well, as everyone wished to wrap up their missions and end the war sooner so they could return home early.

In early June, Wu Jingyi arrived at Taohua Village with only Wu Dingbo by his side, without even a trusted aide.

Given Gu Jian’s special identity, he certainly didn’t want to attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives just because of himself.

At the foot of Taohua Mountain, Wu Dingbo asked curiously while watching his father respectfully wait for the steward of the manor to go up the mountain and send a message, "Dad, who are we here to meet?"

Wu Jingyi hummed annoyedly, "Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t." Thinking of how his foolish son always did silly things, he couldn’t help but warn him again, "Remember, keep today’s matter tightly hidden in your heart, and don’t tell anyone."

Wu Dingbo asked, "Not even mother and elder brother?"

Wu Jingyi replied, "...That’s right, not even them. If you dare to leak it, don’t ever think I’ll take you with me again." _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Wu Dingbo immediately promised with a grin, "I definitely won’t say anything." As he spoke, his eyes began to roll, thinking that the person on the mountain must be a very important figure to be taken so seriously by his father.

Who could it be?

Daohua had just finished her chores in the manor and was preparing to return to the mountain for the noon, when, to her surprise, upon stepping out, she saw Wu Jingyi and his son whispering at the foot of the mountain.

While Wu Jingyi was preoccupied with the matters he wished to discuss with Gu Jian after the meeting, and Wu Dingbo was guessing which important figure was on the mountain, Daohua approached them, and neither of them noticed.

After waiting silently for a while, seeing that both were still immersed in their own thoughts, Daohua had to take the initiative to speak up, "Master Wu graces us with his presence. Why not go up the mountain directly?"

The sudden voice startled both the Wus.

Wu Dingbo turned around and blurted out, "Scaring people isn’t nice..."

Seeing Daohua dressed in a fresh, light green skirt, smiling at them, Wu Dingbo was somewhat mesmerized, his voice involuntarily softened.

"It turns out to be Miss Yan!"

Seeing that it was Daohua, Wu Jingyi’s expression brightened. This girl had saved him once, and seeing her again made him feel closer to her.

Daohua smiled and asked, "Has Master Wu just returned from the Northern Frontier?"

Wu Jingyi nodded, "Indeed, I thought the old master must be concerned about the matters of the Northern Frontier, so I came over to check on him."

Daohua raised an eyebrow. Zhongzhou was directly below Beijing, so Master Wu’s "by the way" visit was quite convenient: "Since you’re here to see my master, then please follow me up."

Saying this, she took the lead to show the way.

Wu Jingyi started to follow but glanced at his son, standing there like a silly goose, and, feeling a tiredness in his heart, thwacked him on the head, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come on."

Wu Dingbo came back to his senses and embarrassingly followed behind Wu Jingyi.

"Tsk,"

Hearing a snicker, Wu Dingbo turned to see a maid carrying a bamboo basket and covering her mouth to stifle a laugh.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Wu Dingbo thought it was normal for an ordinary man to be mesmerized by a girl who seemed to have stepped out of a painting.

Noticing the large, plump grapes in the basket, he couldn’t help but ask, "Are there grapes this early?"

Wang Manman said with a smile, "Other people might not have them, but our family has early-ripening varieties." Seeing Wu Dingbo staring at the grapes, she offered a bunch with a smile, "Would you like to try some?"

Wu Dingbo replied, "How can I impose?" but quickly took a bunch and popped a grape into his mouth, "Mmm, so sweet! Sweeter than the ones from Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop."

Wang Manman lifted her chin proudly, "Of course, these grapes are from seeds carefully cultivated by our Miss, naturally they are much tastier than what you can find outside."

Wu Dingbo, although somewhat lacking in subtlety, wasn’t foolish and quickly caught a loophole in Wang Manman’s words, "You know about the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop in Beijing?"

Realizing she had spoken out of turn, Wang Manman hastily corrected herself, "I don’t know. But after all, it’s just a shop, our grapes are tastier than anything you’d find in any shop."

Wu Dingbo looked at Wang Manman suspiciously. The maid’s expression had clearly given away her knowledge of the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop. Just as he was preparing to pry further, Wang Manman quickly moved away with her basket.
