THE HUMBLE FAMILY'S DAUGHTER HAS A SPATIAL POCKET!

Chapter 511: Chapter 473, Long Hair Tied to Your Heart_1

“Do you have any other injuries on your body?”

Xiao Yeyang asked while wiping Daohua’s hair.

Daohua shook her head, “No, just some bruises.”

Xiao Yeyang’s hand paused, and he frowned, “Bruises, what kind of bruises?”

Daohua answered, “Previously, when Sun Changze came to save us with the horse carriage, I didn’t manage to climb aboard and ended up rolling on the ground a few times. I probably got the bruises then. Oh, and I also climbed trees a few times, so I might have got some knocks from that too.”

Xiao Yeyang turned to look at Wang Manman, “Are the bruises on your miss serious? Are there many?”

Wang Manman was startled and somewhat at a loss for words.

For a man from outside the family, Little Prince, to inquire so straightforwardly about her miss’s injuries, wasn’t that a bit improper?

Daohua spoke up, “Oh, they’re just some scratches, nothing serious.”

Xiao Yeyang disagreed, “As a young lady, your skin is more delicate than most. What if scars are left behind?” He paused, then continued, “I remember a foreign envoy once presented a scar removal ointment with excellent results, called Ice Muscle Paste. Wait here, I’ll get it for you to ensure no scars are left on your body.”

Daohua hurriedly declined, “There’s no need, Xiao Yeyang. We’ve just managed to make a good impression on the Emperor, let’s not ruin it over such trivial matters.”

Xiao Yeyang frowned, “Trivial matters? How is this trivial? Don’t you know that a young lady’s body should not have scars?”

Daohua retorted, “Why shouldn’t I have scars? The clothes cover them up, and it doesn’t affect the appearance.”

Xiao Yeyang opened his mouth but seemed to be at a loss for words. Deciding not to argue with her, he silently continued drying her hair.

Seeing that he remained silent, Daohua couldn’t help but speak again, “Don’t you dare go asking for that Ice Muscle Paste, do you hear me?”

Xiao Yeyang responded faintly with a “Hmm,” whether he would listen or not was not her concern.

After that, neither of them spoke again.

Wang Manman noticed that the food was getting cold, while her miss’s hair still needed a while to dry. She thought it over and decided to take the food box to the kitchen to heat it up again.

Originally, she figured that it wouldn’t be a problem to leave for a short while since Bi Shi would return quickly after pouring out the water. However, Bi Shi, thinking that Daohua was being taken care of by her, went to change Yan Ying’s dressing instead.

Consequently, only Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were left in the room.

As for the lucky De Fu who had come back, he had always been alert. When Wang Manman left, he took up the responsibility of keeping watch outside the room.

Xiao Yeyang first dried Daohua’s hair with a cloth. Worrying it wasn’t completely dry, he brought over a charcoal brazier to finish drying it. After these tasks, seeing that Wang Manman had not yet returned, he picked up a comb and started to comb through her hair.

The black, silky strands of hair slipping through his fingers made Xiao Yeyang feel a tickling sensation in his heart. Twirling a lock of hair, he murmured, “Long hair binds a man’s heart…”

Daohua, looking at Xiao Yeyang through the brass mirror on the dressing table, saw his tender expression and focused eyes. Her heart swelled with a feeling that was both joyful and sweet. After hearing his soft chanting, she couldn’t help but look up and ask, “What did you say?”

When Wang Manman returned with the food box, she happened to witness the scene reflected in the mirror.

In the mirror, her miss was looking up, while Little Prince was gazing down, both of them locked in an extremely focused look, as if they were lost in each other’s eyes, oblivious to the world around them.

“Ahem~”

Wang Manman, unsure of what to do, could only try to break the sweet atmosphere with a cough.

De Fu came over, feeling regretful he hadn’t been able to stop Wang Manman.

Alas, Manman was good at many things, but she lacked discretion. Just when the master and Miss Yan had such a lovely moment, she had to interrupt!

Daohua, hearing the noise, shifted her gaze from Xiao Yeyang to Manman, “Where have you been? My hair is dry now; come and help me comb it.”

Wang Manman hurriedly put down the food box and walked over to the dressing table.

Xiao Yeyang smoothly passed her the comb and then naturally stepped aside.

Daohua glanced at him but said nothing.

Afterward, Wang Manman combed her hair while Daohua applied her own eyebrow makeup and upper lip rouge, while Xiao Yeyang watched the entire process, occasionally offering some suggestions.

Wang Manman silently observed the two of them, noting their gentle smiling eyes frequently communicating through the air, and suddenly felt that there might be something more developing between her daughter and the Little Prince.

Xiao Yeyang wanted to help with the eyebrow makeup several times, but he refrained in the end.

Having already been presumptuous with the lady in the carriage, he couldn’t commit any more reckless acts.

It wasn’t long before Wang Manman had finished combed Daohua’s hair, and Xiao Yeyang urged, “Hungry, right? Go ahead and eat.”

These days, Daohua had been eating mostly fruits to fill her stomach, and seeing the food, she indeed felt hungry. She walked straight to the table, sat down, and casually asked Xiao Yeyang, “Are you joining me?”

Xiao Yeyang took a seat next to Daohua without any hesitation, “Of course, I came out with you and haven’t eaten either.”

Wang Manman and De Fu quickly helped the two with serving rice and arranging chopsticks.

At the dining table, the two ate in silence.

Wang Manman had thought that the meal would end smoothly, but towards the end, her daughter couldn’t finish the rice in her bowl. The Little Prince, without a word, took it over and started eating. Wang Manman wanted to intervene but was too late.

Seeing that her daughter just glared at the Little Prince without saying much, Wang Manman felt a bit anxious. Were the lady and the Little Prince becoming too intimate?

Was this alright?

“After I take you to the dock later, I won’t be returning with you. Having Yuanxuan escort you, I’ll feel at ease. But still, being outside isn’t the same as at home, so you need to be extra vigilant,” Xiao Yeyang said to Daohua after they finished eating.

Daohua nodded her head; she knew that the matters in Sishan Village required Xiao Yeyang’s personal attention, “You and my brothers also need to be careful.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled, “Don’t worry, I understand.” After saying that, he stared intently at Daohua for a long while before adding, “I probably won’t return to Ningmen Prefecture before I’m done with things here; don’t miss me… think of your two brothers, all right!”

Daohua averted her gaze, “I wouldn’t miss you at all.”

Xiao Yeyang’s right hand twitched, wanting to reach out and check on Daohua’s ear injury, but seeing Wang Manman nearby, he reluctantly held back.

“I’ll go see if Yuanxuan’s carriage and horses are ready. You should also check if there’s anything else to pack.”

Daohua nodded, “I’m going to see Sun Changze and Yan Ying.”

Xiao Yeyang said, “Let’s go out together, then.”

In the inn’s front courtyard, Dong Yuanyao was rechecking the carriage that she, Jiang Wanying, and Chen Jiarou would be riding.

“Miss Dong, the carriage prepared by Master Dong fits our needs perfectly, no need to check it again,” Chen Jiarou said somewhat helplessly to Dong Yuanyao, who had been keeping them busy for a long while. She wasn’t tired, but they certainly were.

Jiang Wanying also nodded repeatedly, eager to talk with Brother Yang, but Dong Yuanyao kept delaying her.

Dong Yuanyao didn’t want to go around in circles with the two of them either, but since both were fixated on the Little Prince, who in turn was with Daohua, she had to intercept them for Daohua’s future peace of mind.

However, as soon as she spotted Daohua walking over, she immediately let go, “Alright, since you have no objections, we don’t need to check anymore.”

With that, she walked straight towards Daohua.

“Yiyi, are you packed and ready?”

As Daohua approached, she nodded to Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou and then looked at Dong Yuanyao, “I want to visit Sun Changze and the rest.”

Dong Yuanyao responded, “Alright, I’ll take you there.”

Daohua asked Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou, “Do you want to come along?”

Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou shook their heads in unison, “No need, you go by yourselves.”

They were just servants, after all; the ladies had already expressed their gratitude and given Silver. There really was no need for them to visit in person.
