The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 788

Chapter 788: Chapter 674, Poisonous Tongue_1

Watching the gates of Four Seasons Manor wide open, and seeing the carriage carrying Daohua slowly entering the villa, everyone’s expressions were changing dramatically.

"The Four Seasons Manor belongs to the Yan Family?!"

Not only outsiders were surprised, even Yan Zhigao, who was hiding in the corner, was caught off guard.

He had previously heard from Wen Kai that the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop and the Four Seasons Seed Shop, both very famous in Beijing, were opened at the request of the eldest daughter, but he still had some doubts. It turned out to be true.

"Isn’t Vice Minister Yan here? Where is Vice Minister Yan?"

Nobody knew who first thought of Yan Zhigao, but someone suddenly shouted, and immediately, everyone began to search for Yan Zhigao, wanting to inquire about the affair of the Four Seasons Manor.

Regrettably, Yan Zhigao had slipped away unnoticed.

Some quick-minded people thought about the reputation of the Four Seasons Seed Shop, which, because of selling high-yield seeds, was becoming increasingly prestigious among the peasants – their eyes shone incessantly.

The reason why Four Seasons Seed Shop and Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop were so popular in Beijing was not only because of the good quality of the food they grew, but most importantly because of their high yield.

Princess Huijia glanced at Old Prince Yong and wondered whether Old Prince Yong held the Yan Family in high regard precisely because of the Four Seasons Seed Shop.

Old Prince Yong, however, did not pay attention to Princess Huijia’s scrutinizing gaze. Seeing the gates of the Four Seasons Manor closing, he turned around and headed back to his own estate, calling over a hidden guard on the way.

"Tell me, was there someone else in the carriage of the Countess of Shengping?"

The hidden guard nodded: "Yes, and a highly skilled one at that, although their internal force seemed somewhat unstable, whether from injury or old age."

Old Prince Yong fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

The hidden guard named Dongli, he had seen him before in the Imperial Palace. He didn’t believe Dongli was there merely to protect the eldest Miss of the Yan Family – the Yan Family was not important enough to warrant such protection.

"As I recall, the information you gathered earlier mentioned that the eldest Miss of the Yan Family was delayed in coming to Beijing because she had to look after her master?"

The Yan Family, having produced two Jinling Guards commanding officers, could not be ignored. He had people thoroughly investigate the Yan Family early on.

The hidden guard nodded again.

Old Prince Yong’s eyes narrowed; it seemed the person in the carriage was indeed the master of the Yan Family’s eldest daughter.

But the information the hidden guards had managed to find about the master of the Yan Family’s eldest daughter was scarce, only knowing that he was a septuagenarian who knew some medical skills.

Was Dongli there to protect that old man?

If so, the man’s identity was far from simple.

Old Prince Yong waved the hidden guard away and swiftly proceeded to the garden where everyone was gathered, and upon arrival, he immediately asked the butler, "Where is Vice Minister Yan?"

No matter what, it was important to maintain good relations with the Yan Family.

The butler made a troubled face: "Vice Minister Yan seems to have left. Just now, everyone was looking for him, but alas, no one could find him."

Old Prince Yong couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this, "He’s quite slippery, alright. That’ll be all, you can go back to your duties."

At Princess Huijia’s group, the noble ladies were all discussing Daohua, whom they had just seen.

"What do you think the Countess of Shengping looks like?"

"She was wearing a veil; how could anyone see clearly?"

"I’ve seen the daughters of the Yan Family before, they all look quite nice, so I’d reckon the Countess of Shengping must also be good-looking."

Listenting to everyone’s discussion, Wu Xirong made a face at Kang Naixin, "I don’t know what the Countess of Shengping looks like, but as they say, like master, like servant, judging by that maid’s just now, she must be something fierce."

Kang Naixin nodded in agreement, her face full of conviction.

...

Four Seasons Manor.

Unlike most estates that were built on flat land, Four Seasons Manor was situated at a higher altitude, its courtyard built halfway up the hillside.
