The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 840

Chapter 840: Chapter 737, Entering the Palace

The day after Dong Yuanyao was sent away, someone delivered an anonymous letter to the Ministry of Justice early in the morning.

The letter contained correspondence between Dong Jianye, the eldest master of the Dong Family, and a member of the Eight Princes Party.

Dong Yuanxuan had just returned to the Dong Family courtyard one moment, and the next, the officials and soldiers arrived.

With the exception of Dong Yuanyao, the entire Dong Family was arrested by the officials and soldiers and escorted to the Ministry of Justice’s prison.

Dong Laoye faced the confiscation of his property and imprisonment once again, and suddenly fainted from the shock and did not wake up.

Upon this, the Dong Family members were extremely anxious, continuously pleading with the arresting officers for help, begging them to summon a doctor.

Amidst the wailing and cries for help, Madam Dong Laotai was numbly supported by Madam Dong Er, not even glancing at Dong Laoye lying on the ground.

At this moment, Madam Dong Laotai was filled with hatred for Dong Laoye and the people of his main house.

If not for Dong Laoye’s indulgence, her son, grandsons, and granddaughter would not have suffered all this.

The mere thought of the main house deceiving her granddaughter, leading to her missing the opportunity to kill Luo Hongyuan, made Madam Dong Laotai wish for the immediate death of those people from the main house.

In the end, the officials didn’t summon a doctor and directly carried Dong Laoye to the Ministry of Justice’s big prison.

Upon hearing about the Dong Family’s situation, Daohua was slightly taken aback, but not at all surprised. Luo Hongyuan was dead, and the Luo Family would not let the Dong Family off the hook.

She just didn’t expect the Luo Family to act so swiftly!

"How could this happen?"

Madam Yan and Madam Li were both dismayed and moved to exclaim upon learning the news.

Madam Li looked at Daohua, knowing that her daughter and Yuanyao were close, but with the Dong Family’s dealings with the Eight Princes Party and Yuanyao having killed the legitimate son of the Duke, she didn’t want her daughter to have any further entanglements with the Dong Family for the sake of the Yan Family and her daughter.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. These next few days, don’t leave the Yan Residence. Stay at home and learn proper manners. On the day of the festival, when you enter the Imperial Palace, you must not make any mistakes."

Daohua said nothing but nodded in agreement. Now, even if she left the residence, she couldn’t do much. She could only wait at home for news from Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers.

...

Imperial Palace.

Xiao Yeyang reported to the Emperor about the Duke’s residence investigation findings.

The Emperor was stunned for a while upon learning that Luo Hongyuan was actually the son of the old Duke, and thinking of the Duke’s family being the first to support him after his ascension to the throne, he said, "Let the Duke’s residence handle their family matters themselves."

Xiao Yeyang hesitated, "Then Miss Dong..."

Caiju and Dongli, who were by his uncle’s side, were men of his imperial uncle. Yiyi had sent the person to Four Seasons Manor; the imperial uncle wouldn’t be kept in the dark about this.

The Emperor thought of how Dong Jiancheng had been serving as a Provincial Governor and how his achievements during his years in Zhongzhou were quite commendable, and after a moment said, "The second branch of the Dong Family is implicated after all. As long as Miss Dong does not show herself and get caught by anyone, we need not bother with her."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s spirit was lifted, as this meant the matter wouldn’t implicate Yiyi and the Yan Family.

...

After arriving at Four Seasons Manor, Dong Yuanyao, not wanting to cause trouble for Daohua or let anyone know she was hidden there, remained in her room without leaving since she got to the manor.

She found out about the Dong Family’s crisis the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

When she heard that the Dong Family had been arrested again, Dong Yuanyao was unusually calm. She didn’t rush out of the manor immediately, nor did she cry or wail. She just waited quietly for nightfall.

As soon as it grew dark, Dong Yuanyao, dressed as a man, carefully avoided the people in the manor, quickly heading towards the main gate.

Just before she reached the gate, her path was blocked by a figure.
