The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 461: Chapter 430, House Swap_1

“Manman, let’s sleep together tonight!”

After returning to the room, Daohua realized that there was no heated brick bed. Her heart instantly turned cold. She felt the temperature in Dongbei Koubaotai must be below zero. Without a heated brick bed, it was a rhythm to freeze someone to death.

Wang Manman nodded; she also felt that it was extremely cold. Even though several charcoal braziers were lit in the room, she did not feel much warmth. “Miss, you warm yourself by the fire first. I saw a stove in the courtyard; I’ll go and boil some water for you to soak your feet.”

Daohua nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes, boil more. You should soak your feet later too.” Despite warming herself at the fire for so long, her feet were still cold.

Wang Manman quickly left the room and, before long, she returned carrying a kettle of hot water. She poured the water into a basin and said with a smile, “This water was boiled by Defu for the Little Prince, but I took it first. Miss, you should wash quickly. After you’re done, I need to go boil another kettle.”

Daohua quickly took off her shoes and socks and soaked her feet in the hot water, which made her finally feel less cold: “This trip was really a miscalculation.” When they left home, considering it was only October and far from the bitter cold of deep winter, they didn’t dress very warmly, unaware the temperature here would be so low.

With that, Daohua pouted, “My third and fourth brothers are all rough guys, they didn’t even remind me.”

Wang Manman chuckled, “Third Master and Fourth Master probably didn’t expect that we would be staying overnight here either.”

Daohua nodded and bent over to also soak her hands in the hot water.

Just then, there came a knock on the door from outside.

Wang Manman hurriedly got up to open the door.

Next, Daohua heard Xiao Yeyang’s voice, “Has Daohua gone to bed yet?”

Wang Manman smiled and shook her head, “Not yet, Little Prince, do you need something? Oh, are you here for the kettle? Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon, after Miss is done soaking…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Yeyang had already walked into the room, and upon entering, he saw Daohua soaking her feet.

Looking at the pair of delicate and fair feet in the basin, the tips of Xiao Yeyang’s ears turned ‘swish’ red. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly turned his back, feeling a bit flustered, “I didn’t know you were… I’ll come back later.” Saying that, he left the room as if escaping.

Watching Xiao Yeyang’s hasty departure, Daohua was puzzled, “What’s with him?”

Right after, she saw Wang Manman ‘bang’ shut the door and then looked at her with the air of having made a mistake, hesitantly saying, “Miss, I’m sorry, I didn’t stop the Little Prince; I didn’t know he would come in like that.”

At first, Daohua didn’t understand, but when she saw Wang Manman’s glances toward her feet soaking in the basin, she remembered with some speechlessness that in ancient times, women’s feet were not supposed to be casually seen by men.

“It’s okay, it was an unforeseen situation,” Daohua said, not particularly concerned.

Wang Manman, seeing that her miss did not blame her, felt even more remorseful and assured with seriousness, “Miss, rest assured, I will never make such a mistake again in the future.”

Daohua did not dwell on the issue, she reached for the kettle and poured all the hot water inside into the basin, then said, “Go and boil another kettle quickly for Xiao Yeyang and while you’re there, ask what he wants.”

Wang Manman nodded, took the kettle in hand, and left the room.

In the room next door, Defu was carefully applying medicine on Xiao Yeyang, “Master, the golden sore medicine that Miss Yan brought this time is really effective. This morning, Master’s wound was still somewhat red and oozing blood, but now it has begun to scab.”

Xiao Yeyang was somewhat distracted, and absentmindedly nodded his head. After a moment, he said, “Later, go and find Manman; tell her to have Daohua move to my room tonight. That room has no heated brick bed; how can she, a girl, endure it?”

Defu blamed himself, “It’s my fault, I forgot the chimney of the heated brick bed in the room next door was blocked. I’ll have someone come and unblock it tomorrow morning.”

As Defu was preparing to find Wang Manman, the loud voice of Yan Wenkai came from outside the room.

“Big sister, your room doesn’t have a heated brick bed, hurry up and pack, come sleep in our room.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang quickly stepped out of the room and saw Yan Wenkai and Wentao standing at the entrance of Daohua’s room, walking over briskly: “What’s all this noise in the middle of the night?”

Yan Wenkai: “We’re not making noise, this room just can’t have a heated brick bed, so we’re here to swap rooms with our sister for the night.”

Xiao Yeyang frowned slightly, showing some disdain: “You guys should just forget about your doghouse, Daohua will come sleep in my room later.”

At this time, Daohua came out.

Xiao Yeyang subconsciously glanced at Daohua’s feet and seeing that she had her shoes and socks on properly, he awkwardly averted his gaze, not waiting for her to speak, he said: “I’ve already had Defu change the bedding, you go sleep in my room.”

Daohua hesitated a bit: “But you’re still hurt, I think I should just go sleep in the third and fourth brother’s room, their bodies are stronger.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang’s face darken, giving her an unhappy glare.

“That settles it, Daohua will sleep in my room,” Xiao Yeyang decided on the spot, paused for a moment, then looked at Wentao and Wenkai, “Since you two are strong, just sleep in this room, I’ll sleep in yours.”

Without waiting for a reaction from the three siblings, he strode toward the room where Wentao and Wenkai stayed.@@novelbin@@

It was only after Xiao Yeyang had entered the room that the three siblings exchanged puzzled glances.

Daohua smiled: “Third brother, fourth brother, you two just cozy up and sleep tonight!” After saying this, she turned back to her room to pack some things, and then happily entered Xiao Yeyang’s room.

Having a warm room to sleep in, she certainly wasn’t going to be polite about it.

The two brothers were strong and healthy, they would be fine without a heated brick bed.

Watching Daohua enter the room, Wenkai said to Wentao with a dejected tone: “I think we’ve drawn the short straw tonight.” Even if they hadn’t come to swap rooms, their sister would still have had a warm bed to sleep in.

Wentao patted his shoulder: “The result is the same, what’s there to feel shortchanged about.” With that, he went straight into the room.

Wenkai followed: “Of course we’re shortchanged, we were supposed to swap rooms with our big sister, but now we ended up swapping with the Little Prince. With the Little Prince’s physique, he can handle being cold for one night without any trouble.”

…

As Daohua and the others each drifted into dreamland, Wu Jingyi was still directing his men to explore River Valley.

After a night of exploration, Wu Jingyi was certain that the gold mine they were looking for was here.

“I knew there was a reason we couldn’t find it; it was hidden under the riverbed.”

“Immediately enclose this part of the River Valley, do not allow anyone else to come near.”

After giving these orders, Wu Jingyi still felt somewhat excited, having finally found the gold mine he had been searching for so long, no longer needing to run around the mountains.

Nowadays the weather was getting colder, and searching for things in the deep winter was extremely torturous.

Thinking of Daohua, who was with Xiao Yeyang, Wu Jingyi’s expression turned somewhat contemplative: “I never thought that the credit for finding this gold mine would actually go to that girl in the end.”

“I must report the gold mine to the Emperor promptly.” Saying this, he turned to pass on the message.
