The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1388

Chapter 1388: Chapter 1146: What ill intentions could Lord Gu Xiao have? 17_3

Madam Yao saw Daohua getting angry and hurried to kneel beside Miss Yao: "Princess Consort, please calm down. My daughter spoke carelessly without malice. I will strictly discipline her once we return."

Daohua’s expression softened somewhat, but she did not signal Madam Yao and her daughter to rise: "Madam Yao, don’t blame me for getting angry. A young lady’s reputation must not be stained, and as the house mistress, you should understand this even better than your daughter."

Saying this, she cast a faint glance at Miss Yao.

"If I hadn’t known that the second daughter of the Tang Family and Miss Xu were summoned back to Taohua Mountain by my master, the remarks your daughter just made could have caused an uproar."

The ladies present now understood the situation, marveling at the boldness of the Yao Family in daring to cause a scene at the dragon boat event organized by the Princess Consort. Wasn’t this a slap in the Princess Consort’s face? No wonder the usually gentle Princess Consort was so furious.

Daohua: "This time, I invited you all to watch the dragon boats, but such unpleasantness occurred, showing my efforts were inadequate. It seems I should organize fewer gatherings like this in the future."

Hearing this, Madam Yao’s expression changed dramatically. Being able to befriend the Princess Consort was such an honor, and if due to the Yao family, other people lost this opportunity, wouldn’t they hate them?

Sure enough, the other ladies who had watched the scene earlier were now blaming the Yao mother and daughter with their looks.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Moyan had already returned to Taohua Mountain with Tang Zijin and Miss Xu.

Gu Jian was patrolling his herb fields at the base of the mountain. Seeing them return, he was somewhat surprised: "This mischievous boy Moyan is the most playful; how could he bear to come back early?"

Saying this, he went toward the manor with Dongli’s help.

As he approached and saw Tang Zijin’s unhappy face, Gu Jian immediately glared at Gu Moyan: "Did you bully Zijin again?"

Gu Moyan was speechless: "When did I?"

Gu Jian snorted, ignoring him, and looked at Tang Zijin: "Zijin, if Moyan bullies you, tell the old ancestor, and I’ll teach him a lesson."

Tang Zijin glanced at Gu Moyan, a hint of pride in her eyes: "Old Ancestor, the Young Duke didn’t bully me."

Miss Xu watched in amazement; she didn’t expect Zijin to be so casual with the Old Duke and the Young Duke in private.

Gu Jian: "The Great Grandson sent some tribute fruits. Come with me to eat them on the mountain."

Miss Xu, benefiting from Tang Zijin, also went to Taohua Temple this time.

Caiju washed and cut the fruits into small pieces and brought them to the living room.

Three plates of fruit, Miss Xu thought she would share a plate with Tang Zijin, but unexpectedly, the Young Duke swiftly sat beside Zijin and began to competently compete with her for the fruits.

Miss Xu was a bit tongue-tied, especially since the Old Duke seemed quite pleased and showed no intention of stopping them. In this strange atmosphere, she could only bury her head in eating fruits.

Indeed, the tribute fruits were delicious; having no one to compete with her was truly blissful!

Over half of one plate ended up in Gu Moyan’s mouth. Unable to compete, Tang Zijin simply gave up.

As soon as she stopped, Gu Moyan felt that even the taste of the fruit had become bland.

Gu Jian watched from above, scolding Gu Moyan with a smile: "You’ve eaten up all the fruit, go get some more."
