The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1052 - 883, Hu City

After hearing Su Hongxin’s so-called hero-saving-the-beauty story, Daohua felt not the slightest bit of sympathy for him, "You men, the moment you see a fragile and pitiable beauty acting all delicate, you’re all bursting with heroic bravado. Serves you right for you to learn a lesson."

Su Hongxin, looking forlorn, said, "Yan big sister, you can’t be like this, I’m already so pitiful."

Daohua ignored him and instead asked, "Big Brother Su, your aunt and uncle know you’ve come to Xiliang, right?"

Su Hongxin’s eyes dodged uncertainly, "Well, I was planning to tell my family after I arrived in Xiliang."

Hearing this, Daohua was speechless, "You didn’t even tell your sister-in-law?"

Not long after the Yan Family moved to the capital, Su Hongxin married a local daughter from an aristocratic family in Zhongzhou.

Su Hongxin: "I can’t tell your sister-in-law. She’s pregnant, and if she knew I was heading to Xiliang, she would definitely use the child in her belly to threaten me and stop me from leaving."

Daohua was even more speechless, looking at Su Hongxin with the eyes one would use for a jerk, "Big Brother Su, you’re running around while your sister-in-law is pregnant. Aren’t you afraid that she’d worry and be scared, risking a miscarriage or something?"

Su Hongxin was stunned for a moment; then he said weakly, "That won’t happen. Your sister-in-law is very strong. She’s even tougher than you and Dong sister. She wouldn’t get worked up over such a small matter."

Daohua found his words insufferable, "How are Yuan Yao and I tough? Big Brother Su, don’t go spouting nonsense and hurting us!" After pausing, she added sternly,

"As the father of the child, you should be at home with your pregnant wife and unborn child."

"It’s extremely dangerous for a woman to give birth. Your sister-in-law needs your companionship and care. Running off like this is really irresponsible."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Su Hongxin scratched the back of his head, "Yan big sister, don’t scold me anymore... Actually, after leaving, I started to regret it, but now that I’ve already come to Xiliang, you can’t expect me to go back now, can you?"

Daohua shook her head; she knew it was not good to speak too harshly, so she said, "I’ll have the maid prepare the ink and paper for you. You should write a letter home to report your safety."

Su Hongxin hurriedly nodded, "Thank you, Yan big sister."

Daohua had the maidservant bring some hot water and let Su Hongxin freshen up. Then she had Guyu bring him pen, ink, and paper, "Big Brother Su, Xiao Yeyang is not here right now. After you finish writing the letter, get some rest. When Yeyang returns, I’ll have someone call you."

Su Hongxin stood up and gave a bow to Daohua, "Thank you, Yan big sister."

Daohua smiled lightly, "You’re my fourth sister-in-law’s brother, there’s no need for thanks. Just write the letter quickly, so your aunt and uncle and sister-in-law won’t worry." She then left.

...

"What, Su Hongxin is here?!"

In the evening, as soon as Xiao Yeyang returned, Daohua told him about Su Hongxin’s arrival.

Daohua recounted Su Hongxin’s sorry state when he arrived and emphasized how he had been tricked, "Just make sure you don’t follow his example. I wouldn’t want a beggar for a husband showing up at our door one day."

Xiao Yeyang, after listening, wrapped his arms around Daohua and laughed, "Your husband I am not that foolish. To deceive me, they would need both the guts and the skills."

Daohua thought about it and agreed. The Jinling Guard was meticulous in handling cases; white lotuses and the like found it hard to trick them unless they wished to be deceived.

"He says he’s come to seek refuge with you, and he even wants to become a general."

Xiao Yeyang chuckled, "Su Hongxin and your fourth brother have always been close. He’s been yelling about becoming a general since he was young. It seems he could no longer hold back after seeing your fourth brother join the trolls."

Daohua said, "Big Brother Su came here without informing his family. War is extremely dangerous, and we should probably inform the Su Family just to be cautious, in case something happens and it becomes difficult to explain."

Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment, "Su Hongxin’s martial arts skills are quite good. I will have a serious talk with him to make the dangers of the battlefield clear. As for informing the Su Family..."

"Old Master Su is not one to hedge his bets. Since Su Hongxin has already come here, I expect he wouldn’t let him return."

Daohua nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yeyang continued to smile, "Actually, Su Hongxin’s arrival is quite timely."

"I’m planning to set up a military stronghold. Though Cao Dan is a decent man, I haven’t known him long enough to fully trust him. With Su Hongxin here, he can help me keep an eye on the military camp. I’ll go see him in a while."
