The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 887 - 771, The Cost

"Guyu, quickly prepare some water for me, I need to bathe!"

As soon as Daohua returned to her courtyard, she hurriedly instructed Guyu.

"Remember, it needs to be cold water."

Guyu hesitated, "Miss, bathing in cold water is bad for your health..."

"Just do as I say, hurry up!"

Daohua impatiently interrupted Guyu.

With no further objections, Guyu quickly went to prepare the cold water with Lixia.

Daohua strode into the Clean Room, swiftly took off her outer garment, and as soon as Guyu and Lixia came in carrying the cold water, she couldn’t wait to step into the tub, filled a bathing scoop with water, and then directly poured it over her head.

The icy cold water washed away some of the heat from her body, and Daohua signaled Guyu and Lixia to quickly add more cold water to the tub. When the tub was filled with cold water, she completely submerged herself.

Guyu and Lixia watched anxiously, but thankfully, a few seconds later, Daohua’s head emerged from the water.

Looking at Lixia, Daohua said, "Go fetch more cold water." After she left, she instructed Guyu, "Help me prepare some medicine."

Guyu nodded and turned to brew the medicine.

When she was alone in the Clean Room, Daohua submerged herself into the cold water once again.

Xiao Yeyang was uneasy about Daohua and did not leave, intending to follow up but just then, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai returned.

"Is our eldest sister alright?" Yan Wenkai asked anxiously.

Thinking of Daohua’s flushed cheeks, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t say anything explicit—just shook his head ambiguously and said, "She should be fine."

Hearing this, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Wenkai angrily said, "The people from the Jiang Family are really despicable!" This statement essentially lumped in the Empress Dowager and the Empress as well.

Neither Xiao Yeyang nor Yan Wentao reacted much.

The event today was clearly targeted at Daohua; luckily she was cunning and managed to narrowly escape. Otherwise... Jiang Wanying’s fate would have been Daohua’s.

No, Daohua’s fate would have been even worse than Jiang Wanying’s.

The Jiang Family had the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and the officials had to give some respect, even if Jiang Wanying and the Crown Prince of Xiliao were involved in a scandal, they couldn’t carelessly talk about it.

But if it had happened to Daohua, all sorts of slander would likely have followed her.

Xiao Yeyang, thinking of tonight’s incident, grew even more disgusted with the Jiang Family and said, "You two returned just in time, I have something for you to do."

Yan Wentao looked at Xiao Yeyang, "What is it?"

Xiao Yeyang spoke softly to both of them, "The people from Xiliao brought many good horses with them this time. Seeing how the second prince of Xiliao, the Crown Prince, and Jiang Jinghui have been getting along recently, it seems they have already made a deal with the Jiang Family under the table. The horses are kept at the Xijiao Posthouse, I want you two to take those horses and drive them to the royal hunting grounds."

The idea of stealing the Jiang Family’s horses naturally pleased Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai, though Yan Wentao was a bit more thoughtful. "If the horses disappear from the posthouse, wouldn’t the Xiliao people use this as an excuse to cause trouble?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

Xiao Yeyang scoffed, "Just do it, the Xiliao people won’t dare to pursue it. Don’t forget, tonight the Crown Prince of Xiliao did such a sensational thing in the Imperial Palace, they wouldn’t dare to provoke His Majesty now. If the horses are lost, they’ll just have to grit their teeth and swallow their anger."

"Also, once you take the horses to the royal hunting grounds, they’ll belong to His Majesty. Even if the Jiang Family finds out, they will just have to pretend they don’t know anything."

Yan Wentao nodded, no longer hesitating, he and Yan Wenkai hurriedly left the Yan Residence.

After tonight’s major play orchestrated by the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family, if they didn’t respond in kind, they truly would have choked on their frustration.

Once the two left, Xiao Yeyang quickly turned and went to Daohua’s courtyard.

Seeing Daohua in that condition earlier, he was really not at ease. He knew there were some forbidden drugs in the palace that were extremely potent, which could harm the body if mishandled.

Daohua Pavilion.

Guyu was busy brewing medicine, and Lixia was organizing the bedding inside the house. All the other maids were in their own rooms, making the entire courtyard quiet and still.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yeyang, without showing himself outright, surveyed the area from the roof beams, then leapt down and entered the Clean Room.

Seeing Daohua completely submerged in the cold water, Xiao Yeyang furrowed his brows—it was not good for a young lady to soak in cold water for too long!

After a moment’s thought, he quickly walked towards the bathtub, intending to lift her out.
