The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1384

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1144: What ill intentions could Lord Gu Xiao have? 15

"How annoying!"

In the guest room, Tang Zijin lay face down on the bed, her face flushed with embarrassment, pounding the bedding in anger and frustration.

The young duke was becoming more and more audacious, daring to flirt with her in broad daylight!!!

She was livid!

Every time she thought of that scene in the rock garden, Tang Zijin buried her head in the quilt with embarrassment, but soon she emerged again.

Just now she had slapped the young duke, but she wasn’t sure if it was hard enough?

At first, Tang Zijin felt a bit apprehensive, then she shook her head. She wasn’t wrong, and if the young duke dared to flirt with her again, she’d hit him again!

The scene in the rock garden began to replay in her mind, causing Tang Zijin to roll around on the bed in frustration.

"Don’t think about it, you mustn’t think about it..."

With something on her mind, Tang Zijin skipped dinner and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

The next day, Tang Zijin showed up in front of everyone with dark circles under her eyes.

Seeing this, Madam Tang asked worriedly, "What, didn’t sleep well last night?"

Tang Zijin forced a smile, "Mother, I’m fine."

Surrounded by people, Madam Tang didn’t say much, but she cast a discontented glance at Tang Zixin, who was squeezed among several young ladies.

Her daughter never liked to complain to her, but she had heard from elsewhere that yesterday Zixin had openly challenged her daughter, even more actively than outsiders!

When she first heard this news, she was so angry her stomach hurt.

She really couldn’t understand whether Zixin had any sense at all; slandering her own sister, what good did it do her?

After returning to the residence, she must discuss with the master and the old madam about this Tang Family’s eldest daughter.

Today was the Dragon Boat Festival. After breakfast, everyone boarded the boat to Ningmen Pass with the Crown Princess Consort and the Princess Consort Weiyuan.

Going to watch the dragon boat race, all the women were very happy. The madams sat in the cabin chatting, while most of the young ladies stood on the deck enjoying the scenery along the way.

On the boat, because of the river breeze and with Miss Xu chatting beside her, Tang Zijin managed not to feel sleepy. But upon reaching Ningmen Pass and climbing the pavilion to watch the race, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a fan to stifle her yawns.

Seeing she was very sleepy, Miss Xu proactively suggested they sit together in a corner.

Tang Zijin gratefully thanked her. No matter how she forced herself to sleep last night, she just couldn’t, and ended up staring wide-eyed until dawn.

Now everyone was excitedly watching the dragon boat race, but here she was yawning, which was indeed impolite and dampened the mood. It was better to avoid disturbing others.

After informing Madam Tang, Tang Zijin went to sit at the edge of the pavilion with Miss Xu.

Out of others’ view, Tang Zijin relaxed a lot. Though the race on the river was exciting, she couldn’t stop herself from nodding off.

Among the male guests, Gu Moyan sat accompanying the Crown Prince and Xiao Yeyang. He wasn’t in the mood to watch the race either, occasionally glancing towards the women. Seeing Tang Zijin dozing in the corner and accidentally bumping her head, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

Seeing that the race wouldn’t end soon, Gu Moyan thought for a moment, called Ping An over, and gave a few instructions in a low voice.

Soon after, the nanny serving the women cheerfully brought pillows to all the madams and young ladies, claiming it was to make everyone more comfortable.

The seats on the viewing platform were quite hard, so the pillows were welcomed by everyone.

The Crown Princess Consort and Daohua exchanged a surprised glance, each seeing astonishment in the other’s eyes.

The pillows weren’t their idea!

Daohua glanced towards the male guests and coincidentally caught Gu Moyan’s gaze looking in their direction. Following his line of sight, Daohua glanced at the corner where the women were, spotting Tang Zijin in her sleepy state.

The nannies took the opportunity to reposition the screens, discreetly blocking Tang Zijin and Miss Xu in the corner.

The Crown Princess Consort noticed as well and chuckled quietly, "I reckon you’ll soon have a second daughter-in-law."

Daohua chuckled in return but then jokingly scolded, "Silly boy."

Though she spoke as if disapproving, her actions were quite straightforward.

With the screen and a pillow for support, Tang Zijin was much more comfortable and slept through to the end of the dragon boat race.

With the race over, everyone was free to move around, and Miss Xu woke Tang Zijin.

"Thank you, Sister Xu!"

Tang Zijin awkwardly thanked her, her face still flushed from just waking up.

Miss Xu couldn’t resist pinching Tang Zijin’s rosy cheek, then laughed, "At last, I’ve got to pinch you; consider it your thank-you gift."

Tang Zijin was left a bit at a loss, between tears and laughter.

On the other side, Gu Moyan, following behind the Crown Prince and Xiao Yeyang to go downstairs, saw this scene and was immediately displeased. "Who’s permission did they have to pinch that chubby cheek?"
