The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 898 - 777, Tattling
Chapter 898: Chapter 777, Tattling
Prince Four carried Gu Jian on his back to the front yard of the monastery.
Dongli was startled upon seeing them, firstly because he thought Gu Jian was sick or injured, and secondly because Gu Jian’s identity could not be exposed.
Dongli quickly stepped forward, took Gu Jian from Prince Four’s arms, and seeing that Gu Jian’s complexion was normal and nothing seemed unusual, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Prince Four!"
Daohua bowed to Prince Four in thanks.
Prince Four shook his head, said nothing, and prepared to turn around and leave.
Prince Ping and the Crown Prince had not followed them, and halfway there, Prince Ping learned that the abbot had finished meditating and immediately went to the abbot’s courtyard.
Without Prince Ping, the Crown Prince and the others naturally did not bother to show face and left without caring about Prince Four.
Yet Prince Four still insisted on carrying Gu Jian back.
"Prince Four has carried this old man all the way, you must be tired. Have a cup of herbal tea before you go," Gu Jian suddenly spoke.
Daohua glanced at her master, smiled, and stepped forward to pour a cup of herbal tea for Prince Four.
Prince Four looked at Gu Jian, he wasn’t really tired, just hot from carrying someone back from the back mountain. Looking at the herbal tea on the table, he felt indeed thirsty and sat down comfortably, picking up the teacup to take a sip.
The tea tasted slightly medicinal but not strong, it was a bit bitter but still acceptable.
After tasting it, Prince Four drained the tea, stood up, and made his leave, "The Crown Prince and the others must be anxious by now, I shall take my leave first."
After saying so, he turned around and left.
Once he was far away, Daohua then told Gu Jian about Prince Four’s hearing issues.
Gu Jian sighed deeply, saying nothing.
The Imperial Palace was the place of fiercest power struggles, and those within it, even those not actively participating, could still be drawn into various affairs.
As a Prince, avoiding strife was inevitable.
Daohua said somewhat gratefully, "It’s fortunate that Xiao Yeyang didn’t always live in Beijing."
Gu Jian looked at his disciple, a smile flickering in his eyes, "Yes, Yeyang is indeed fortunate."
Even the smartest person needs a suitable environment to thrive. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
If one experiences too much betrayal and scheming in childhood, even if they become capable when grown, their heart will still have something missing.
Lacking love, lacking trust.
Such people, if they cannot redeem themselves, might end up lonely for life.
Yeyang was indeed lucky, having left Beijing, met a disciple, gained a few good friends, and encountered him and his sister, whose companionship ultimately compensated somewhat for the lack of familial affection in his heart.
Concerned about encountering others, Daohua and Gu Jian did not stay long in the monastery, rested for a while, and then left in a carriage.
Before leaving, Daohua left a letter for Prince Ping, inviting him to visit the Four Seasons Manor.
After Prince Ping returned from the abbot laden with gains, he learned that Daohua and the others had already left, which initially displeased him; however, upon hearing that Daohua had specifically invited him to the Four Seasons Manor, his displeasure dissipated.
"Let’s go, to the Four Seasons Manor!"
"The fruits and vegetables from the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop are hard to get, today this prince will go and have a good meal."
...
Four Seasons Manor.
Daohua, hearing the estate manager report that Prince Ping had arrived, immediately smiled looking at Gu Jian, "Master, I’ll go to welcome him."
Gu Jian, expressionless, ’hmm’ed, and only when his disciple had left did a smile appear on his face.
While he had no particular affection for the princes, his feelings for Xiaojiu, whom he had delivered personally and who had been remembered by his sister all her life, were different.
As Prince Ping walked through Four Seasons Manor, his initial reactions to the lushly growing grains and vegetables were minimal, but upon seeing the fields planted with various colorful flowers, he sprinted over like an arrow released from its bow.
Watching Prince Ping flit about the flower field like a bee and seeing his longing for the flowers, Daohua timely said, "Prince, everything in this manor is now under my master’s control."
If you want it, please my master.
This message, Daohua nearly wore openly on her face.
On seeing this, the corner of Prince Ping’s mouth twitched, feeling that his future daughter-in-law really had no tact, thinking of old Master Gu’s serious face made him involuntarily a bit nervous.
However, Prince Ping quickly regained composure, as a prince and future father-in-law of Miss Yan, he should be treated well by old Master Gu for Miss Yan to have a better life in the Prince Residence in the future.
With this thought, Prince Ping suddenly felt much more at ease.
Daohua, seeing Prince Ping again looking like a proud peacock, imperceptibly shook her head, it wouldn’t be long before he turned into a defeated rooster.
