The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1089 - 912, Madam Peony

Dongli and Yan Ying also noticed their trackers, and after seeing the hand signal from Cao Chuan, they pinched the follower’s carriage from both front and back in a deserted section of the road, forcing it to a halt.

The people following Daohua were a middle-aged couple. Realizing they were discovered and outmatched, they immediately gave up resistance and feigned panic as they alighted from the carriage.

The woman hid behind the middle-aged man, her face filled with fright as she watched Dongli and Yan Ying approaching: "What are you going to do?"

Dongli cut to the chase, asking directly: "Why are you following us?"

The middle-aged man, looking naive and honest: "Sirs, are you mistaken? My wife and I were on our way to Jianzhou Guard to visit my elderly parents, we weren’t following you."

The woman repeatedly nodded in agreement: "Yes, that’s right."

On the carriage, Daohua watched the couple’s expressions carefully and took out two pills from her pouch, handing them to Mei Lan: "Take these and get them to swallow."

Mei Lan took the pills and got off the carriage, glanced at Cao Chuan and Bald, and the two immediately approached the couple.

The middle-aged couple tried to resist, but unfortunately, Cao Chuan and Bald’s skills were superior, and soon, both were restrained.

The middle-aged man pleaded with Cao Chuan: "We really weren’t following you; there is only one road, you can’t just block us from using it, please..."

Before he could finish, each one of the couple was force-fed a pill.

Then, Daohua came down from the carriage and walked over to them, asking: "Who sent you to follow us?"

The couple’s expressions were dull, involuntarily responding: "Madam Peony."

Madam Peony?

This response made Daohua frown; she thought it would be someone sent by the Wei Family.

In Xiliang, the only apparent conflict of interest with Xiao Residence should be with the Wei Family.

"Who is Madam Peony?"

The couple replied: "Madam Peony is just Madam Peony."

Seeing that they couldn’t clarify, Daohua rephrased: "What does Madam Peony want by having you follow us?"

The middle-aged couple replied: "To kidnap Xiao Yeyang’s wife and bring her back to Xiliao."

Hearing this, the expressions of Dongli and others changed.

Daohua quickly inquired: "Is Madam Peony from Xiliao?"

The couple nodded then shook their heads.

Seeing this, Daohua asked again: "Is Madam Peony from Daxia?"

The couple shook their heads then nodded.

This response confused Daohua and others.

Bald scratched the back of his head: "Just who exactly is this Madam Peony?"

Daohua pondered briefly, then continued asking: "Madam Peony wants to kidnap Xiao Yeyang’s wife, and she only sent the two of you?"

The couple shook their head: "There are others waiting ahead."

Daohua knitted her brows: "How many people?"

The couple shook their heads: "We don’t know, we were only responsible for surveillance."

Daohua asked again: "Does Madam Peony know Wei Hong?"

The couple shook their heads: "Don’t know."

Daohua, seeing she couldn’t get more information, handed the people over to Dongli to deal with them while she returned to the carriage.

The carriage continued towards Jianzhou Guard.

At night, Daohua arrived at the Jiandong Thousand-household, checked into an inn, and Dongli and Yan Ying prepared to scout the rendezvous mentioned by the middle-aged couple.

Before leaving, Daohua stopped the two and gave each of them a pouch containing Sleeping Powder and Soft Muscle Powder: "If circumstances allow and you can handle it, directly take control of the person."

Dongli and Yan Ying nodded and took the pouches.

Soon, the two of them vanished in a flash.

At the break of dawn, Yan Ying returned to the inn to report the situation of the group to Daohua.

"Madam, the middle-aged couple said the person meeting them was a bandit king controlling the mountain. Dongli and I used the Sleeping Powder you provided and have already taken control of them. Dongli is staying there to watch over."

Daohua’s expression turned colder: "Bandits..." If she were kidnapped by bandits, whether she died or was sent to Xiliao, even if Xiao Yeyang pursued the matter, he wouldn’t be able to find anyone to blame.

"Did you ask who instructed them?"

Yan Ying: "We asked; like the couple, they only mentioned a person named Madam Peony who spent ten thousand Silver to have them kidnap you and send you to Xiliao."

Mei Lan frowned: "Madam, Madam Peony must be one of Wei Hong’s people. If you are captured, the Crown Prince definitely won’t be able to focus on the affairs of Xiliang."

Daohua felt the same and said to Yan Ying: "The leader of garrison command appointed by the Crown Prince is trustworthy. Troublesome as it may be, could you make another trip and have him bring people to arrest that group of bandits for mining or road construction?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Due to dealing with the bandits, Daohua and the others were delayed, and it wasn’t until the fifth day that they arrived at Jianzhou City.

Not long after entering the city, Daohua’s carriage passed by an extremely lavishly decorated carriage.

The carriage was moving so swiftly that it kicked up a draft.

The wind lifted the curtain on the carriage, and Daohua quickly caught a glimpse of the person inside the opposite carriage.

As the two carriages passed each other, Daohua suddenly changed her expression, quickly lifted the carriage curtain, and gazed at the rapidly distancing carriage.

"Madam, what’s the matter?" Mei Lan and Mei Ju hurriedly asked.

Daohua stared blankly at the carriage: "The person in that carriage seemed to be Jiang Wanying."

Mei Lan appeared hesitant: "Wasn’t Jiang Wanying married off to Xiliao? She shouldn’t be appearing in Jianzhou City."

Daohua wasn’t completely sure she saw correctly, but just to be safe, she quickly summoned Dongli and Yan Ying.

"You two, follow that carriage and see exactly who is inside."

After Dongli and Yan Ying left, Daohua casually checked into an inn and then sent Cao Chuan and Bald to find out where Xiao Yeyang was staying.

Half an hour later, Cao Chuan and Bald came back.

"Madam, the Crown Prince is not in town; he went to the new military base with Commander Wei Du."

Daohua remained silent and said nothing: "Let’s talk when Dongli and Yan Ying are back; you two go rest for now."

Before long, Yan Ying returned alone.

"Madam, the person indeed in the carriage was Jiang Wanying."

Daohua, provoked, stood up abruptly: "How could she be here?!"

Yan Ying shook his head: "Madam, after leaving the city gate, Jiang Wanying’s carriage met with several other carriages and then headed towards the military town."

"I heard from people around the city gate that those carriages were used to transport Xiliao dancers; in Jianzhou City, many Flower Buildings keep Xiliao dancers."

Daohua sat down and took a sip of tea.

Jiang Wanying appearing in Jianzhou City was already a huge surprise, but she was even connected to Xiliao dancers!

Madam Peony...

Instinctively, Daohua linked Jiang Wanying with Madam Peony.

If Wei Hong really wanted to deal with her, actually, it wasn’t necessary to complicate things; he could have simply killed her instead of sending her to Xiliao.

But it’s different with Jiang Wanying; she hates me, to kidnap her to Xiliao would undoubtedly be the best revenge.
