The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1248

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1058, Catching the Thief

The Duke Residence was relatively close to the Imperial City, just next to the Prince Residence. The Emperor didn’t want to attract too much attention and opted not to use the main entrance; instead, he took a detour and appeared at the back door.

Looking at the closed back door, the Emperor didn’t even need to instruct anyone, as the Hidden Guards already protecting him in secret had climbed over the wall to open the door.

After the door was opened, the Emperor walked in with Eunuch An.

Seeing the courtyard covered with fallen leaves, the Emperor frowned and snorted, "The servants of this residence need to be disciplined." The master isn’t even here, yet they dare not sweep the courtyard.

"Your Majesty."

An Imperial Guard glanced towards the bush by the wall and whispered to the Emperor, "There are two children hidden behind the bushes."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Children?

Where did the children in the Duke Residence come from? Could they be Yeyang’s children?

An interest welled up in the Emperor’s heart, signaling the Imperial Guards to step back while he walked towards the bushes.

He had not even approached when he spotted the two tiny figures hiding behind the bushes.

The two children sat with their knees hugged and heads leaned against each other. Glancing at their clothes, the Emperor knew the identities of these children.

The twins born to Yeyang!

The corners of the Emperor’s mouth couldn’t help but turn upward slightly; the two little kids had just turned three, hadn’t they? Encountering strangers climbing over the wall, they didn’t cry or scream; instead, they hid—a sign of cleverness.

"Ahem~"

The Emperor, who wanted to playfully tease the children, coughed deliberately and then saw the two children shudder.

"No good, he’s found us."

"Big sister, what do we do now?"

"Daddy and mommy are in the residence; as long as we shout, they will come to save us, don’t be scared."

Daomang comforted her younger brother and then, pretending to be fierce, stood up with hands on her hips and glared at the Emperor sternly, "Are you a thief?"

At this moment, the Emperor across from her was stunned by the little girl’s face that resembled so much her mother’s, he couldn’t react at all.

"Little brother, I scared him!"

Seeing the Emperor staring blankly, Daomang, the little girl, revealed a triumphant smile.

Daomiao, who also stood up following his sister, seeing the Emperor genuinely appear frightened, immediately looked up to his sister with admiration, "Sis, you’re so awesome."

While speaking, he glanced at Eunuch An, standing behind the Emperor and daring not to make a move.

"Sis, is that man behind there an idiot? Look, he’s just staring at us and not coming to catch us!"

Daomang, the little girl, gave Eunuch An a look, nodded her little head in agreement, the tassels on her head ornaments swaying. Paired with her round shiny eyes and her adorable expression, she was downright endearing.

When Eunuch An heard Daomiao calling him an idiot, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. But then he thought, if the Emperor was being called a thief, him being an idiot didn’t seem like such a big deal.

At this moment, the Emperor came back to his senses, joyfully yet astonishingly staring at Daomang, he started walking towards the two children.

This startled the twins; recalling their father’s usual instructions to protect his sister when outside, Daomiao immediately pulled Daomang behind him, pointing firmly at the Emperor.

"Little thief, you stop there, don’t come any closer, or else, my daddy will have you arrested and beaten with a paddle."

Daomang peeked out from behind Daomiao, "My daddy is very powerful; if you don’t run now, you won’t be able to escape. Run quickly, being hit with a paddle hurts a lot."

Seeing the children’s faces full of vigilance and tension, the Emperor stopped in his tracks and smiled at the twins, "Don’t be afraid, I... I am not a thief."
