The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755: Chapter 675, Maintenance_1

Madam Guo and her daughter returned to Beijing. Watching the distant departing ships, Governor Guo remained silent for a long time. It wasn’t until the ships were no longer visible that he turned to walk away. On the way, he asked his trusted aide, "Have you found out who was sitting in that carriage that day?"

The trusted aide nodded, "It was the eldest daughter of the Yan Family. She planned the entire event that day."

Governor Guo furrowed his brows and huffed, "Yan Zhigao’s daughter is quite capable indeed." He paused and then continued, "Did Yangyang leave some people behind?"

The trusted aide replied, "I’ll need to check on that."

Governor Guo said, "Make a thorough check. Once you find them, bring them to me."

That very afternoon, the trusted aide brought Deshou before Governor Guo.

Governor Guo looked at Deshou and directly asked, "Has Yangyang taken a liking to the eldest daughter of the Yan Family?"

Deshou’s heart tightened. After a moment’s thought, he replied, "Your Excellency, I am not clear about my master’s affairs."

The Governor’s eyes narrowed immediately. Without a direct denial, it seemed Madam Guo was really not shooting in the dark. Yangyang truly had taken a liking to the eldest daughter of the Yan Family.

"Alright, I’ll ask you another question. The incident that occurred in front of Guo Residence that day, were you involved?"

Deshou hurriedly shook his head, "No, not even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare." They had been clueless about the happenings of that day until after the fact, when they heard about it.

Hearing this, Governor Guo felt relieved. It was good that Yangyang’s people were not involved. If Yangyang’s men had acted against the Guo Family, he would have truly been disheartened.

"Was it you who captured Fan Tongzhi?"

Deshou shook his head again, "No."

Governor Guo raised an eyebrow, it seemed that the eldest daughter of the Yan Family was much more astute than he had imagined, knowing that to deal with the Guo Family, she couldn’t use Yangyang’s people.

"Alright, you may leave."

After Deshou had left, Governor Guo sat frowning in contemplation.

Madam’s approach to dealing with the Yan Family was not forthright, but with the eldest daughter of the Yan Family daring to openly confront the Guo Family, it was clear she was not someone easy to deal with, nor someone inclined to consider the bigger picture.

Without worrying about whether Yangyang and Xueming’s engagement could proceed, with the eldest daughter of the Yan Family by Yangyang’s side, would Yangyang drift away from the Guo Family in the future?

After a while, Governor Guo turned and went to Meilin Villa. He had to speak to his sister about the matter between Yangyang and the eldest daughter of the Yan Family.

...

Meilin Villa.

When Governor Guo arrived, Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang were having tea and chatting in the pavilion.

Seeing Chu Lang, Governor Guo couldn’t help but frown slightly.

"Brother, what brings you here?"

Guo Ruomei expressed her surprise with delight.

Chu Lang knew the Guo Family did not appreciate his presence, considering him a mere wanderer from the jianghu, and given Ruomei’s current solitary status, spending time with him could attract gossip. He did not press his luck or force a polite smile; instead, he simply nodded politely in greeting and then sat silently on the pavilion rail.

Governor Guo walked into the pavilion and sat down, smiling at Guo Ruomei, "I missed you, so I came to see you." During this time, he made no effort to engage with Chu Lang.

Guo Ruomei was very happy, and the siblings began to chat cheerfully.

"Ruomei, it seems Yangyang might have someone he fancies. Do you know about it?"

Guo Ruomei nodded with a smile.

Governor Guo was surprised, "You know about this?"

Guo Ruomei nodded again, "I do, Yangyang likes the eldest daughter of the Yan Family."

Guo Ruomei smiled, "I helped to arrange for the Yan Family’s female tutor, so of course I know about the eldest daughter."

The Governor was silent for a while, "Little sister, when your sister-in-law and niece came to Zhongzhou, our father intended to propose a marriage between Xueming and Yangyang; I also quite approve of the two children."

Guo Ruomei was stunned for a moment, "Brother, would your wife agree?" She knew her sister-in-law looked down on her, a woman who had been divorced, would she agree to let her son become a son-in-law?

The Governor laughed, "Now that Yangyang has made something of himself, what else would my wife not be satisfied with?"

Chu Lang interjected with a snicker, "So you’re saying that if Yangyang were not successful, she wouldn’t look down on him, huh!"

The Governor, annoyed, turned to Chu Lang, "I’m discussing family matters with Ruomei; why are you butting in?"

Chu Lang was about to retort when Guo Ruomei gave him a stern look; seeing this, he reluctantly closed his mouth.

Guo Ruomei looked towards the Governor, "Brother, if Yangyang is willing to marry Xueming, then I have no objections. But if he is unwilling, I will not force him."

The Governor fell silent, "I understand what you mean."

Guo Ruomei thought for a moment, then added, "Brother, since ancient times marriage has been deemed by fate, and cannot be forced. If Xueming and Yangyang are meant to be together, then even if a few more Yan Family eldest daughters come along it will be futile. But if they’re not meant to be, then even if there were no other girls in the world, they still wouldn’t end up together."

"Please talk to your wife more about this. The Yan Family has been kind to Yangyang and to our Guo Family; we should not use our family’s position to make things difficult for them just because we can."

Listening to his sister continuously defending the Yan Family, the Governor sighed.

He knew that his sister and his wife did not get along, and his sister might not want Xueming to be her daughter-in-law.

"I came to talk to you about this issue, and since you already know, there’s nothing more for me to say."

Guo Ruomei, "...Brother, you are Yangyang’s uncle, and even if Xueming doesn’t marry Yangyang, that relationship won’t change. Are you afraid that he won’t be close to you?"

"As for your concerns about the Yan Family’s eldest daughter affecting Yangyang, I think it’s completely unnecessary, provided that your wife stops employing underhanded tactics in the inner courtyard. The girl is quite sensible and understanding."

Upon hearing this, the Governor lost all desire to speak.
