The Humble Family’s Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!
Chapter 840 - 737, Entering the Palace

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.

Seeing Sun Changze suddenly appearing in the manor, Dong Yuanyao was stunned for a while before she managed to say with composure, "Step aside."

Sun Changze, looking at the noticeably thinner Dong Yuanyao compared to when she was in Zhongzhou, felt a heart full of pity and shook his head, "I won’t let you leave here. If you go back to the city, you will surely be arrested. That would be too unfair to Miss Yan who took the risk to send you out of the city."

Dong Yuanyao fell silent, "Now that the entire Dong Family has been arrested and imprisoned, my staying here would only add to Yiyi’s troubles."

Sun Changze stepped forward, "Since Miss Yan did not let you leave, she clearly doesn’t think you are a burden. Think about your parents and elder brother, do you believe they want to see you locked up in jail just like them?"

Seeing that Dong Yuanyao’s expression had softened, Sun Changze continued, "Whatever you want to know, tell me, and I will go see your parents and elder brother for you."

Dong Yuanyao looked at Sun Changze, "They are locked up in the Ministry of Justice’s prison, how can you possibly see them?"

Sun Changze quickly responded, "Although the canal gang might not be presentable, we have our own ways of survival. Rest assured, since I’ve promised you, I will definitely be able to enter the Ministry of Justice’s prison."

Dong Yuanyao silently observed Sun Changze, and seeing the nervous overseer standing not far away, she gave up on the idea of sneakily leaving.

Yiyi had gone through so much trouble to get her out, she couldn’t just walk away like this.

...

This year’s Dragon Boat Festival was especially lively, starting with the eldest grandson of the Jiang Family escorting tribute back to the capital, only for the tribute to be completely burned at Jingzhuo Port. Even though the Empress Dowager and Empress intervened on his behalf, Jiang Jinghui was still dismissed and sent home.

After that, Dong Yuanxuan was killed by Luo Hongyuan of the Duke Residence, leading to the Dong Family being arrested and imprisoned once again.

One event followed another, providing a veritable spectacle for all to see.

The day of the Dragon Boat Festival arrived amidst everyone watching the drama unfold.

Early in the morning, the Yan Residence bustled with activity. Today, Old Madam Yan, a third-rank imperial wife, Madam Li, and Daohua were all going to enter the palace to attend the banquet.

All three were entering the palace for the first time, they couldn’t deny feeling a bit nervous.

Daohua helped Old Madam Yan and Madam Li into the carriage, and just as they were about to set out, they saw Xiao Yeyang approaching on horseback.

"Why have you come?"

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang somewhat surprised.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and greeted Old Madam Yan and Madam Li, then motioned for Daohua to come down from the carriage as he had something to say.

Seeing this, Daohua got out of the carriage, "What is it?"

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, "Once inside the palace, don’t be afraid of anything. Conduct yourself as you should; my wife does not need to humble herself or indulge others just for the so-called reputation."

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang had come especially to embolden her, Daohua’s lips curled into a smile, "Don’t worry, I know how to handle it."

Xiao Yeyang was still worried, "With the Empress Dowager, the Empress... you just need to follow the proper etiquette."

Daohua ’hmm’ed in response, knowing all too well that the Empress Dowager and Empress were not people she could ever truly please.

Xiao Yeyang went on reminding her earnestly, with Daohua listening carefully, until finally, Madam Li, seeing it was getting late, interrupted them.

"I still have things to do, I will not accompany you into the palace."

"Mhm, you go about your work."

When the Yan Residence’s carriage arrived at the gates of the palace, there were already quite a few families there.

As soon as word spread the Yan Family had arrived, all eyes turned to look.

Under everyone’s gaze, Daohua assisted Old Madam Yan and Madam Li out of the carriage.

"Indeed worthy of the one who captivated the Little Prince – her beauty truly stands out."

"She’s just a pretty face to please someone, how long could that possibly last?"

Hearing the whispers around them, Old Madam Yan and Madam Li pretended not to notice.

The marriage between the Yan Family and Prince Jinghui’s Residence was too conspicuous, and they were well prepared for every kind of judgment.
