The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 886 - 770: Stay Away

Looking at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, and then at Yan Yiyi, who stood unharmed before everyone, the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family felt a huge surge of emotion inside.

The eunuch dared not lie, but if Yan Yiyi was not inside Chonghua Hall, then who was in there?

At this moment, Madame Jiang the Second, who had not found her daughter, began to shiver all over. She suddenly grabbed hold of the leading Madame Jiang, her eyes reddening as she looked at her, wanting to speak but finding herself speechless.

When the leading Madame Jiang saw her sister-in-law in such a state, she immediately had an ominous premonition and anxiously looked towards the Empress Dowager, about to speak. However, the Emperor spoke first.

"Bring someone to open Chonghua Hall," the Emperor declared. "I want to see who dares to commit licentious acts in the imperial harem."

At the Emperor’s command, Wei Qi led a troop of Imperial Guards and charged towards Chonghua Hall.

The Empress Dowager felt a vague unease, yet her face remained calm. However, when the leading Madame Jiang, in her panic, approached her and rudely grabbed her hand, the Empress Dowager’s composure began to fracture.

"Empress Dowager, Wanying..."

As soon as the leading Madame Jiang spoke, a heavy feeling sank in the Empress Dowager’s heart, and she was about to stop the Imperial Guards from entering Chonghua Hall when it was too late.

"Bang!"

The doors of Chonghua Hall were thrown open, and seven or eight Imperial Guards rushed in.

"Ah~"

After just a moment, a desperate, piercing female cry echoed from inside Chonghua Hall.

As soon as the cry was heard, the officials hardly reacted, but the female family members became agitated.

"This voice... it sounds like Princess Jiang’s!"

The realization struck like thunder, and the leading Madame Jiang felt dizzy, while Madame Jiang the Second collapsed to the ground.

The rest of the Jiang Family, each and every one of them, stood frozen like statues.

Even the Empress Dowager lost her composure and decorum, glimpsing through the wide-open doors of Chonghua Hall where two improperly dressed bodies lay.

"Xiao Yeyang, take me back now."

Taking advantage of the distraction of the crowd focused on Chonghua Hall, Manman urgently whispered to Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, and although the sky had darkened and the surrounding lamps were lit, the lighting was still dim enough that he couldn’t notice anything unusual about her.

Nevertheless, at Manman’s request, Xiao Yeyang immediately nodded, his gaze coldly sweeping over Chonghua Hall and the Jiang Family. He asked Defu to inform the Yan Family and then quietly helped Daohua leave.

It was only after Wei Qi and the Imperial Guards walked out of Chonghua Hall with their heads bowed that the Jiang Family came to their senses.

"Wanying!"

Madame Jiang the Second screamed in anguish and then stumbled into Chonghua Hall.

Her scream made even the Empress Dowager and Duke Cheng’en painfully close their eyes.

Idiot!

How could the Jiang Family marry such a fool?

The Imperial Guards hadn’t said anything, yet she, as a mother, went ahead and acknowledged in front of everyone that it was her daughter committing indecent acts in Chonghua Hall!

Following Madame Jiang the Second’s wail, the expressions on the faces of the officials and other women who had come along were spectacular.

It wasn’t long before everyone saw the Crown Prince of Xiliao step out of Chonghua Hall, and their expressions shifted once again.

In the crowd, the look on Prince Ping’s face was incredibly sour.

He was a man who enjoyed luxury, but that didn’t mean he was brainless. Today’s events were clearly aimed at Yan Missy.

Yan Missy was his future daughter-in-law. How could the Empress Dowager use such a despicable method against her?

Furthermore, she had used him to frame Yan Missy!

Did she realize that if today’s events succeeded, his relationship with his son, Yeyang, would come to an end?

Thinking of all the years he had spent currying favor with the Empress Dowager and her variable coldness and warmth towards him, Prince Ping’s heart truly felt chilled.

Thank Heaven, Yan Missy was unharmed!

Though he had watched Jiang Wanying grow up, at this moment, Prince Ping could not muster any pity for her.

This was the Jiang Family reaping what they had sown!

Old Prince Yong looked at the Empress Dowager, whose lips were trembling with anger, and then at the Emperor and Prince Ping with their indifferent expressions, sighed, and shook his head.

The Jiang Family... had truly been dizzy with power and desire. If they had maintained their composure, the Emperor might have harbored some fond memories of them. But they insisted on courting death.

...

At the palace gate, Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua onto the carriage and said to the coachman, "Back to the Yan Residence."

Inside the carriage, Daohua took out a hand fan from the standby supplies and kept fanning herself.

Xiao Yeyang sat next to Daohua and sized her up before taking her hand with concern, "Are you alright?"

Daohua shook her head, "What could be wrong with me?" As she spoke, she pulled away from Xiao Yeyang’s hand and moved to the side. Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was about to come closer again, she hurriedly stopped him, "Don’t come near me."

Xiao Yeyang, "What’s wrong?"

Daohua fanned herself vigorously with the fan, "I’m hot!"

Only then did Xiao Yeyang notice that Daohua’s cheeks were alarmingly red, and a fine sweat had formed on her forehead, "Are you really okay?"

Daohua tugged at her neckline, "I’m really fine, just hot!" Although she had held her breath, she had still inhaled a breath or two of the seductive fragrance in the hall; she didn’t know what powerful ingredient was added to that fragrance. Now her whole body felt unbearably hot, and although it wasn’t to the extent of exploding and dying, it was still extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, and when he thought of Jiang Wanying entwined with the Crown Prince of Xiliao in Chonghua Hall, his face turned black with rage, and he slammed his fist onto the seat, gritting his teeth, "Despicable!"

Daohua scoffed, "Indeed, who could have thought the Empress Dowager would do such a thing? So much for being the mother of the nation. No wonder the late Emperor doted on Consort Wan so much."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, "Let me help you fan yourself."

Daohua, "No need, just stay a bit further away from me."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and noticed that aside from feeling unbearably hot, she didn’t seem to be affected by anything else, which allowed his mind to relax somewhat.

He was truly afraid that she would be left with a psychological scar because of today’s event.

"What on earth happened today?"

Daohua quickly related the events, "Before the banquet, the Prince had called for me to go to Cining Palace. I felt something was off, but with Huai En there, I thought the Empress Dowager and the people from the Jiang Family wouldn’t go too far."

"Who knew that halfway there my skirt would be torn? Bi Shi and Manman were completely unfamiliar with the palace, so I had to ask Huai En to lead Bi Shi to fetch a change of clothing."

"The Palace Maid from the Empress Dowager’s palace then led me toward Chonghua Hall. When we were almost at the courtyard gate, Manman was bitten by a venomous snake and we had to rush to the Imperial Medical Bureau for treatment."

At this point, Daohua scoffed, "To deal with me, the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family really went to great lengths."

Xiao Yeyang listened silently, a tangible chill in his eyes.

Daohua continued, "In Chonghua Hall, the lighting was dim, and I knew something was fishy. It wasn’t hard to send the Palace Maid away, but then, Jiang Wanying just happened to come over."

Looking up, she met Xiao Yeyang’s gaze.

"If I didn’t want to enter the hall, Jiang Wanying couldn’t have forced me, but I still followed her inside."

Xiao Yeyang suddenly pulled Daohua’s hand closer, "Promise me, even if you seek revenge in the future, you can’t put yourself in danger."

Hearing this, Daohua smiled, "Don’t you think I’m very cruel?"

Xiao Yeyang adjusted the damp hair sticking to Daohua’s forehead, "You’re simply returning treatment in kind; not taking the initiative to seek revenge already shows kindness."

Daohua laughed and looked at her hand held by Xiao Yeyang, feeling unusually comfortable. After a moment, she managed to extract it with some difficulty and continued, "After the Crown Prince of Xiliao had pulled Jiang Wanying into the inner chamber, the lock on the hall door was opened, and I took the chance to escape the great hall."

"I knew they would stage such a scene and certainly set up a trap to capture someone, so I found a Palace Maid to take me to the Imperial Medical Bureau. After the Imperial Physician had finished bandaging Manman, I helped her back to Chonghua Hall, arriving just in time for the climax."

"Not being present, with the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau to back up my alibi, the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family had really shot themselves in the foot this time."

Although Daohua spoke lightly, Xiao Yeyang felt increasingly tense as he listened and couldn’t help but move closer to her, wrapping her in his arms, his face showing guilt and self-reproach, "It’s my fault, my fault that I’ve brought these dangers upon you."

Daohua’s expression froze, and she gritted her teeth in frustration. This Xiao Yeyang, telling him not to come close, why couldn’t he understand?

Ah, how to push him away without wanting to push him away?

Never mind, for now, she could just bask in the coolness.

Daohua leaned against Xiao Yeyang’s chest, instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist, and continuously rubbed her head against his chest.

Xiao Yeyang stiffened, looking down at Daohua squeezing into his embrace like a kitten, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation. He eventually let Daohua snuggle up to his lap, then hesitantly asked, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

Daohua, who had buried her head in Xiao Yeyang’s neck, suddenly stopped, swiftly got up from him, and kept her distance, "Don’t come near me."

"Actually, I..."

Before Xiao Yeyang could finish his sentence, the coachman announced, "We’ve arrived at the Yan Residence."

As soon as the carriage stopped, Daohua jumped down and ran towards the residence, lifting her skirts.
