The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 991

Chapter 991: Chapter 833, Incident_3

Although Xue Qiao had used a bewitching fragrance and extinguished the lights when she had served Xiao Yechen, who could know whether Xiao Yechen still had any memories of that night.

"The moment Xue Qiao returns, have her come see me immediately."

Xue Ling nodded, then turned to fetch Luo Qiong’s breakfast, but as soon as she left the room, she noticed something was off.

The most trusted nanny by Princess Consort’s side had actually come, and she also took away all of the maids and old women from Chen Courtyard.

In no time, the courtyard was left with only a few maids who served Luo Qiong closely.

"Nanny, what’s happening?"

Xue Ling hurriedly approached to inquire.

The managing nanny glanced at her sideways, didn’t say anything, and called in a few sturdy old women: "From today onward, no one in the courtyard is allowed to go out."

Hearing this, Xue Ling felt as if the world was spinning.

Luo Qiong, who was inside, also heard the commotion and came out of the room just in time to see the old women locking the courtyard door, and, in an instant, a chill rushed to her forehead.

Pingxi Hall.

"What? Xiao Yechen has taken control of Chen Courtyard?"

Daohua looked at Ping Ji’s wife in surprise, not shocked by the event itself, but stunned by the swiftness of Xiao Yechen’s actions.

Xiao Yeyang: "At least he isn’t completely foolish. Just wait, Luo Qiong will definitely seek help from outside."

Daohua looked doubtful: "Will Xiao Yechi show himself for Luo Qiong and her child in her womb?"

Xiao Yeyang was also uncertain in his heart: "That depends on how much he values Luo Qiong and her child."

Having married into the Prince Residence for three years, Luo Qiong still had some confidants. That very night, a maid sneaked out of the Prince Residence and hurriedly went to the Duke Residence for help.

...

When the Duchess heard that Xiao Yechen had soft-imprisoned her daughter, she immediately felt dizzy.

"Madam, please save the eldest young madam. After the Duke learned that the child in her womb wasn’t his, he started beating her. If not for Xue Ling protecting her with her own body, the Duke might have already caused the loss of the child," said the old woman between sobs.

The Duchess stumbled, realizing that Xiao Yechen had laid hands on her daughter, so he must know everything.

Old woman: "Madam, when I left, I saw the Duke’s eyes were bloodshot; the way he looked at the eldest young madam was as if he wanted to devour her. Madam, please think of a solution quickly; the Duke will kill the eldest young madam,"

Upon thinking of all that her daughter had done, the Duchess didn’t have time to think carefully and headed straight for the ancestral hall.

She needed to find Xiao Yechi, as he was the only one who could save her daughter now.

The Duchess ran to the ancestral hall and was about to open the hidden door when the old Duke and the Duke came in.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing the old Duke and the Duke, the Duchess’s face was full of panic.

Initially, the Duchess didn’t want to say anything, but thinking that Xiao Yechen might very well kill Luo Qiong, she had to speak out: "The secret passage was told to Qiongqiong by Xiao Yechi."

At these words, both the old Duke and the Duke were shaken, and a bad premonition rose in both of them.

The Duchess looked at the Duke, her face pleading: "Duke, please go to the Prince Residence and bring back Qiongqiong first."

At this moment, the old Duke spoke: "What exactly happened to Qiongqiong? If you don’t make it clear, we will not go to fetch her."

The Duchess hesitated, then after a long while, she whispered, "Qiongqiong is carrying Xiao Yechi’s child."

Upon hearing this, both the old Duke and the Duke were stunned.

After a long while, the Duke, trembling, pointed at the Duchess: "You truly raised a fine daughter, just as shameless as you."

The old Duke’s face suddenly became uncomfortable.

The Duchess scoffed: "I’m shameless? Was I the one who actively climbed into your father’s bed?" She said, then looked coldly towards the old Duke, and pointed at him, "It was him, he forced me, and when you dare not speak ill of your own father, you take all your anger out on me.Whether it is your incompetence or my shamelessness?"

"Slap!"

The Duke harshly slapped the Duchess, sending her tumbling to the ground.

Just then, the voice of the servants came from outside the house.

"My lord, why are you standing outside the ancestral hall?"

All three inside were jolted at once.
