The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1380

Chapter 1380: Chapter 1140: What Bad Intentions Could Young Lord Gu Have? 11

Central courtyard of the estate.

Daohua sat in the main seat, her face sternly watching her embarrassed son: "What’s the matter with you? Why did you bully Zijin and make the young girl fall on the ground, causing such a big embarrassment."

Tang Zijin fell to the ground, her clothes and skirt got dirty. When she returned to the estate, quite a few young ladies saw her and made some remarks and jokes.

Gu Moyan felt a bit of regret and guilt at this moment: "Mother, I didn’t mean to."

Daohua glanced at her son: "It seems like you have quite an issue with Zijin. Didn’t you really like her before?"

Gu Moyan fell silent for a moment: "That girl has changed, become crafty — no, she hasn’t changed; she was very scheming even as a child."

Upon hearing this, Daohua was really a bit surprised. Her mind was thinking of Tang Zijin’s innocent face while she looked at Gu Moyan suspiciously.

Was her son sure he was speaking about Zijin, and not Zixin?

Gu Moyan noticed Daohua’s disbelief: "Mother, don’t be fooled by that girl’s appearance. She’s so good at deceiving others now. She looks pitiful, but look at this, of all the young ladies, she alone won the old ancestor’s favor."

Daohua found it hard to believe: "Isn’t the master better at judging people than you? If someone is truly scheming, would they catch his old eyes?"

Gu Moyan was struck dumb, retorting stubbornly: "The old ancestor’s eyesight isn’t getting any better, is it?"

Daohua saw that her son had a significant grievance against Zijin and couldn’t help but ask: "What on earth did Zijin do that makes you think so poorly of her?"

Gu Moyan snorted: "It’s her fault Daha died."

Daohua was silent for a moment. She was aware of Daha’s death but wasn’t in the Prince Residence at the time. She wasn’t sure about the specifics, only knowing that Zijin brought Daha and Erha to the horse ranch, where Daha was trampled to death by a horse.

The three children in the family all loved dogs dearly. The dogs around them were raised by their side from birth, so the bond was certainly different.

Daohua thought for a moment and said: "Regarding Daha’s matter, I believe Zijin didn’t do it on purpose. After all, you’ve seen for yourself how Zijin cared for Daha and Erha, haven’t you?"

"At the time, Zijin was just a little girl over nine years old. A sudden accident at the ranch wasn’t something she could have prevented."

Gu Moyan remained silent for a while, snorting: "But she pinned Daha’s death on Tang Zixin; that’s definitely bad character."

Daohua’s expression showed surprise. Was Tang Zixin involved in this matter too?

"Have you thoroughly investigated this matter?"

Gu Moyan didn’t respond. At the time of Daha’s death, he was grieving and had no time to pay attention to other matters. After all, it was Tang Zijin who took Daha to the horse ranch, so she should bear the main responsibility for Daha’s death.

Seeing her son silent, Daohua understood. She didn’t say anything about sibling rivalry, but simply stated: "Regarding Daha’s death, you can choose to let go or not. If you can’t overcome that inner hurdle, you simply don’t have to see Zijin again in the future."

"But right now, you must go apologize to Zijin!"

Upon hearing those words, Gu Moyan looked surprised: "Why do I have to apologize?"

Daohua patiently explained: "Because this time you were wrong. You publicly humiliated the poor girl and made her the laughingstock. Isn’t it appropriate to go apologize now?"

Gu Moyan remained silent, sulking.

Daohua continued: "Because of you, Zijin faced criticism from others. A young lady’s reputation is of utmost importance, especially now that she is at the age of discussing marriage. A damaged reputation can affect her future marriage prospects."

Soon, Miss Xu entered the room, and upon seeing Tang Zijin’s reddened eyes, couldn’t help but ask: "Are you alright?"

Tang Zijin invited Miss Xu to sit down and personally poured the tea, then nodded and said: "I’m alright."

Miss Xu pondered: "Don’t mind what others say; if you ask me, they’re just jealous of you."

"You have no idea how many people wanted to get close to the little prince this morning, and seeing you breakfasting with the old Lord and the little prince, of course, they were envious and jealous."

Tang Zijin didn’t need to inquire to know how the other young ladies were discussing her, she pouted and muttered: "I’ve done nothing wrong, and don’t fear the shadows! Let them say what they will, in any case, I will steer clear of the little prince in the future."

As soon as the words were spoken, they heard the maid outside report: "Miss, the little prince has arrived."

As soon as she heard about Gu Moyan’s arrival, Tang Zijin immediately showed a panicked and helpless expression, and stood up with a ’whoosh’, wringing her handkerchief: "Why is he coming here?!"

Beside her, Miss Xu saw and thought, with an expression of surprise—Zijin seemed a bit scared of the little prince, how could she possibly be the kind to actively get close to him?

The maid replied: "The little prince said he came to apologize to you."

Apologize?

Tang Zijin was stunned for a moment. The little prince was here to apologize; it seemed a bit too soon, didn’t it?

Miss Xu saw Tang Zijin standing still and got up to tug her: "Since the little prince came to apologize, little sister, better hurry outside."

Tang Zijin nodded, pressed down her surprise, opened the door, and walked out.
