The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1394

Chapter 1394: Chapter 1150, Redemption 1

Qingshi County.

Zhang Residence.

As the wealthiest household in the county, the Zhang Residence is built remarkably large, occupying half a street, with its location being in the best area of the county.

The Zhang Family is an object of envy for everyone in Qingshi County, not just because of their wealth, but also for the powerful backing behind them, to the point where even the County Magistrate dares not provoke them.

More than ten years ago, the Zhang Family was far from being so renowned in Qingshi County, at best a second or third-rate merchant family.

However, since Master Zhang remarried, the Zhang Family rose at a speed that left everyone speechless. In a short decade, their business spread not only throughout Qingshi County but also into the provincial and capital cities, opening shop after shop.

There are rumors saying that the new wife of Master Zhang is the daughter of a noble family in Beijing, with extremely strong connections.

Opinions on this matter are varied.

Those who believe feel that it must be true, otherwise, how could the Zhang Family rise so quickly?

Others doubt that a noble family’s daughter would take a fancy to Master Zhang, born from merchants, especially as a second wife.

Strangely, the Zhang Family has never formally responded to this debate.

...

Xiangxie Pavilion.

Within the inner courtyard of Zhang Residence, ranked among the top three in intricacy.

The sky was barely lit, yet noises arose from the main house.

"Miss, sleep a while longer. It’s terribly cold in the dead of winter. It wouldn’t hurt to get up a little later."

Senior Maid Caiwei whispered to the slender shadow behind the embroidered curtain.

Unfortunately, the shadow did not halt its action of rising.

Seeing this, Caiwei felt slightly helpless and quickly stepped forward to lift the curtain.

Soon, a fourteen-year-old, graceful girl sat up with her clothes on.

Worried that her young mistress might feel cold, Caiwei swiftly helped the girl with her dress.

Now, with the young mistress no less than a year away from reaching maturity, the Madam had never stepped foot into Xiangxie Pavilion, let alone nurtured her daughter, leaving a chill in one’s heart.

Yet, her mistress remained devoted and filial, persistently visiting Madam to pay respects on the first and fifteenth of each month and during every holiday, undeterred by repeated rejection and dismissal.

Despite Madam never seeing her, the young mistress went past every event just like any other day for years.

She simply couldn’t comprehend how there could be such a heartless mother in the world.

After tidying and grooming, Zhang Huahan ate some pastries and donned her cloak before heading out.

The first stop was the courtyard of Old Mistress Zhang.

When Zhang Huahan arrived, Old Mistress Zhang had just gotten up not long ago.

Seeing Zhang Huahan arrive so early, Old Mistress Zhang smiled and had a maid pour her a cup of hot tea: "Bless you for being so filial, coming this early despite the cold weather. But you are a tender young girl; your health is most important. You can come later in the future."

Zhang Huahan’s lips subtly curled up, her smile neither excessive nor insufficient: "Thank you for your kindness, Grandmother."

Just then, laughter came from outside the door, and shortly after, the eldest girl of the Zhang Family entered with a smile. Seeing Zhang Huahan in the room, she cheerfully remarked: "I thought I was early, but I didn’t anticipate Fifth Sister arriving before me."
