The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Chapter 747, Farewell_2

Yan Wenkai approached the escort team without heading over to the Dong Family but instead went straight to the officers, offering a large watermelon: "Brothers have worked hard, haven’t they? On such a hot day, this task is particularly grueling."

The head officer, recognizing Xiao Yeyang, didn’t dare put on airs and quickly responded with a smile, "Not at all, we’re just serving His Majesty."

Yan Wenkai gave him a ’well done’ look and pulled out a dagger to slice the watermelon: "Everyone have a taste, nothing quenches thirst like a slice of watermelon on a hot day."

The officers all looked toward their leader.

Knowing they were there to see off the Dong family, the officer didn’t attempt to stop them, but he said, "Sir, we have a fixed distance to cover each day and must not delay too long."

Wenkai patted his shoulder: "Don’t worry, we also work for the court and won’t make things difficult for you."

Hearing this, the officer visibly relaxed and then called his men to eat the watermelon.

"How sweet!"

Yan Wenkai smiled as he watched the officers and spoke with their leader, occasionally glancing toward Xiao Yeyang and the others who were engaged in conversation with the Dong family.

"Auntie, I’ve brought you a couple of sets of clothes to change into, and some common medicines. The journey to Xiliang is long; you must take care."

Daohua signaled Wang Manman and Bi Shi to distribute the bundles they had brought to the Dong family members, then she took the Dong Madam by the hand, placing the bundle she personally carried into her hands, and whispered softly:

"Auntie, the fragmented silver in the bundle was prepared by Yuanyao. She told me to bring a message to you: you must take care. She said she will find an opportunity to visit you in Xiliang."

Hearing this, tears immediately streamed down the Dong Madam’s cheeks as she urgently spoke to Daohua, "No, tell her not to worry about us, to live a good life. As long as she is doing well, that is all we could ask for."

Daohua nodded to the Dong Madam, "I will deliver your message." Then she asked, "Auntie, is there anything else you want to say to Yuanyao?"

The Dong Madam shook her head: "Dear child, I have nothing more to say." After a pause, she gripped Daohua’s hand tighter, "Dear child, I am shamelessly asking you for a favor."

Daohua hastily replied, "Please tell me."

The Dong Madam said, "The Dong family is ruined, and Yuanyao’s marriage contract with Sun Changze was hastily written by the master in prison. I’m afraid that Sun Changze and his family might look down on her because of this. If... if Yuanyao ever finds herself in trouble, I beg you to take care of her." With that, she attempted to kneel before Daohua.

Daohua quickly held the Dong Madam up: "Auntie, what are you doing? I would do it even without being asked."

The Dong Madam said tearfully, "Dear child, thank you."

On the other side, Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wentao, Zhou Chengye, along with the second master Dong and Dong Yuanxuan, were nearly done with their discussion.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and coughed to signal it was time to leave.

Daohua quickly said her farewells to the older Dong ladies, then joined Yeyang and the other men, bidding farewell to the old Dong master and the second master, and finally turned to Dong Yuanxuan. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

"Big Brother Dong, as long as the green hills last, there’ll be no worry of firewood. Please take great care!"

On a distant hill, Dong Yuanyao stood with tear-stained cheeks watching as the escort team moved away.

Sun Changze, seeing her so upset, spoke out, "Don’t worry, the Little Prince has given his word, and the officers will treat your family kindly."

Dong Yuanyao remained silent, her tears still flowing.

After a moment, Sun Changze added, "Once the escort team crosses the Capital Boundary, I will send men to accompany them along the way to ensure nothing befalls your family."

Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao finally reacted, turning to look at Sun Changze: "Really?"

Sun Changze nodded, "Of course." He paused and then added, "Your family is my family after all."

Yuanyao was silent, her eyes once again fixed on the departing escort until they were out of sight, she finally asked: "You don’t hold a grudge against my father?"

Sun Changze took Dong Yuanyao by the hand, "Yuanyao, I’ve thought it over, the fault was mine at the start, your father was only acting out of deep love for his daughter, the blame lies with me for not being worthy."

Dong Yuanyao pulled her hand away, mustering a bitter smile, "Now, it’s me who is unworthy of you."

Changze looked anxious and stepped in front of her to meet her gaze, "Yuanyao, I know what you’re thinking, yes, the Dong family may have fallen on hard times, but even without your status as a young lady, you’re still more than a match for me, Sun Changze. Should I have any notion to undervalue you, may I meet a terrible end."

Dong Yuanyao hastily replied, "Why say something so serious? I was just speaking off the cuff."

Changze took Yuanyao’s hand once more, "Yuanyao, believe in me, I’ll treat you well for a lifetime."
