The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 786

Chapter 786: Chapter 672, Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump_1

In the room of Old Master Zhou, Madam Zhou and Second Madam Zhou anxiously grabbed Zhou Jingwan and Zhou Jingyun for inspection, confirming that neither of them was harmed before everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You two girls really don’t give us peace of mind, why didn’t you notify the adults before going out?"

Seeing the angry family members, Zhou Jingwan and Zhou Jingyun quickly lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes.

Old Master Zhou didn’t want to dwell on these matters at this time, having heard that it was Yan Wentao who had sent the two granddaughters home, he quickly inquired, "How did you encounter Wentao?"

Zhou Jingyun glanced at Zhou Jingwan and quietly told the family about what happened at the Yunhe Building.

Upon hearing that Zhou Jingwan fell from the second floor, Madam Zhou’s heart shuddered, and everyone else was also filled with fear.

Old Master Zhou, after hearing Peng Mingchi’s reaction, showed a deep look of disappointment on his face. Having seen so many people in his life, he never expected to have misjudged in choosing a suitor for his granddaughter!

Madam Zhou also regretted so deeply at this moment that she felt sick inside; she had not expected that the husband she chose for her daughter would be so indifferent and lack responsibility.

Second Madam Zhou looked apologetically at Old Master Zhou and Madam Zhou, "It is all my fault, I received Peng Mingchi’s good looks and talent, which led me to propose this match, never expecting him to be such a person."

Old Master Zhou shook his head, "Second sister-in-law, don’t say that, we also agreed to this marriage."

The Zhou family members were all terribly upset, but Zhou Jingwan, who was directly involved, had no reaction. She merely squatted beside Old Master Zhou’s lounge chair and told him about Peng Mingchi and Zuo Meng.

"Grandfather, Zuo Meng’s father is a sub-minister in the Court of Justice. Everyone at the Yunhe Building saw her mouth-to-mouth with Peng Mingchi. The Peng family will definitely have to explain to the Zuo family."

Old Master Zhou looked at his granddaughter with tenderness, his eyes full of self-reproach. If he had not valued the status of the Peng family’s Minister of Works so much initially, his granddaughter would not have suffered the insult she did today.

Once people are gone, their warmth fades; he had overestimated his importance in the hearts of his students.

"Rest assured, grandfather will not make the same mistake a second time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingwan immediately smiled and soothingly patted Old Master Zhou’s hand, "Grandfather, don’t worry too much. Third brother will definitely help us."

Old Master Zhou’s eyes brightened, and he looked eagerly at Old Master Zhou and Zhou Chengye, asking excitedly, "Did Wentao say anything?"

He knew his second son’s nature. Because the responsibility of the Zhou family rested on his shoulders, he had never meddled in issues that could endanger the family since taking office. How could he possibly be involved with the Eight Princes Party?

The list extracted from the interrogation was definitely problematic!

Unfortunately, even though he was aware of this, he could not find someone to help his second son.

Thinking of the past two months, how humiliated he felt when he had been rejected while seeking help, Old Master Zhou felt like he had lived this life in vain.

If Jinling Guard’s Wentao was willing to help, his second son could certainly clear his name.

Looking at his hopeful elderly father, Old Master Zhou, reluctant to disappoint him yet unwilling to give him false hope, struggled to say, "Father, Wentao did not say anything when he left." As he said this, he glared at Zhou Jingwan.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Seeing the light in Old Master Zhou’s eyes slowly fade, Zhou Jingwan stubbornly retorted, "Dad, you don’t understand third brother, he’s just like that, he never likes to announce what he’s going to do; he just quietly gets things done behind the scenes."

As she spoke, she looked toward Old Master Zhou.

"Grandfather, believe me, third brother gave me a look before he left. Although he didn’t say anything, his eyes told me, he wanted me to be at ease."

Old Master Zhou, looking at his vehement granddaughter, slowly reignited his hope and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "Grandfather believes Jingwan."

Zhou Jingwan immediately beamed with a smile.
