The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1037 - 875, Remarrying

Jinwei Guard, Ganshan Hundred-Family Garrison.

Dong Yuanxuan had just returned with fifty soldiers from outer patrols when an old soldier at the gate stopped him, "Young Ensign Dong, the garrison commander was just looking for you everywhere."

Dong Yuanxuan’s expression paused momentarily, "What business does the commander have with me?"

At that moment, one of the chief ensigns from the garrison passed by and spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "The commander is your father-in-law, so he must be looking for you for something good. Maybe he’s about to promote you to chief ensign."

Dong Yuanxuan glanced at the chief ensign, led his horse toward the stable without arguing, and after tying up the horse, he quickly walked to the commander’s office.

"Commander, you were looking for me?"

Seeing his son-in-law arrive, Liu, the Hundred-Family Commander’s face immediately lit up with a smile. Seeing Dong Yuanxuan shivering from the cold, he personally poured a bowl of tea for him, "Although it has stopped snowing these past couple of days, it’s still extremely cold. Come by the fire to warm up."

Dong Yuanxuan took the tea and walked over to the charcoal brazier, stretching out his hands that were red from the cold, "Commander, Old Wang at the gate mentioned you were looking for me. Is there something you need?"

Commander Liu sized up his son-in-law and thought to himself that indeed, befitting a son of the Marquis Residence, even in hardship, his bearing was not comparable to ordinary men. He wondered whether marrying such a man was a blessing or a curse for his simple-minded daughter.

"This morning, someone came to the garrison looking for you."

Upon hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan thought there was another issue at home and quickly asked, "Is it something at home..."

Seeing his anxiety, Commander Liu quickly reassured him, "Don’t worry, it’s not about your home. It’s someone from the Ganzhou Guard. I sent that person to eat first, but soon you will be able to meet him."

Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan immediately became excited.

The Jinwei Guard was next to the Ganzhou Guard, and even though the news did not travel well to their outpost, they had received bits and pieces of information. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Since he had married Commander Liu’s daughter, Liu shared many matters with him.

Before the new year, he heard that the Little Prince had come to Xiliang and was in the Ganzhou Guard.

Commander Liu took out a dispatch from the desk and looked at Dong Yuanxuan with a sigh, "When I first saw you, I knew you wouldn’t stay in this small place forever." He handed over the dispatch as he spoke.

"Take a look, it’s your family’s orders."

Dong Yuanxuan set down the tea bowl and eagerly took the orders.

As he watched his overjoyed son-in-law, Commander Liu hesitated before saying, "Yuanxuan, I know it’s somewhat unfair to ask you to marry Xiaoman, but now that she is pregnant with your child, I hope you will treat her well in the future."

Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan’s gaze lifted from the orders to meet Commander Liu’s eyes. Seeing the worry in them, he paused for a moment and then spoke with gravity, "Father-in-law, since I have married Xiaoman, she is my wife. I will naturally treat her well, please rest assured on this matter."

Upon hearing this, Commander Liu immediately smiled, patting Dong Yuanxuan on the shoulder and said, "Good, good, I truly did not misjudge you."

When the Dong family first came, they must have offended someone, for troubles arose constantly every few days. His foolish daughter was always taken by appearances, and since Dong Yuanxuan was handsome, she would always help out whenever the Dong family was in trouble.

Last June, when the Dong family’s grandmother was struck by an acute illness, he saw his foolish daughter running back and forth and even took out the family’s treasured ginseng for the Dong family. In his anger and helplessness, he went to Dong Yuanxuan and directly and bluntly requested that he marry his daughter.

There was a touch of repaying a kindness in arranging the marriage to Dong Yuanxuan.

But he was without options, as his silly daughter had fallen too deep, and as a father, all he could do was find a way to grant her happiness.

The new military governor appointed at the Ganzhou Guard, reportedly the son of a Prince from Beijing, heralded a turning point for the Dong family, who had just been transferred there. Perhaps their fortunes were about to change.

While they were speaking, Bu Gandang, who had been sent to eat, returned and saw Dong Yuanxuan back. He immediately stepped forward to greet him with a raised fist, "Master Dong!"

Dong Yuanxuan recognized Bu Gandang and returned the greeting with a fist and inquired about Xiao Yeyang’s recent circumstances.

Commander Liu watched from the side, not interrupting, but seeing how respectful and polite Bu Gandang was towards his son-in-law, he couldn’t help but worry again.

His son-in-law was a true gem among men. If someone gave him a hand, his potential was limitless. However, his silly daughter could barely recognize a few characters, might she be despised in the future?

Bu Gandang: "If possible, I hope the young master can set out for the Gan State Guard as soon as possible. January is over, and February is upon us. Spring farming will begin soon, and we must settle the refugees before then."

Dong Yuanxuan looked at Captain Liu: "Father-in-law, my soldiers..."

Captain Liu waved his hand: "I’ll arrange that. You go back and have Xiaoman and the others pack their belongings. Don’t keep the Gan State Guard waiting."

Dong Yuanxuan looked at Captain Liu, his face showing gratitude: "Thank you, father-in-law."

Marrying Liu Xiaoman was somewhat coerced by the father-in-law in words, but in his heart, he wasn’t too unwilling. Without Xiaoman’s repeated assistance, it might have been impossible for his grandmother and mother to survive.

"Rest assured, father-in-law, I will take good care of Xiaoman."

After bidding farewell to Captain Liu, Dong Yuanxuan went with Bu Gandang to the Dong Family’s home.

The Dong Family lived in a village administered by the Captain of Gangshan. Dong Yuanxuan and Bu Gandang rode half an hour on horseback to reach the village.

In the Dong Family, all the men except Old Master Dong had gone to repair the city walls.

Inside the house, Madam Dong was working on a loom weaving cloth, and Old Madam Dong was sitting on a heated brick bed with a pregnant Liu Xiaoman, twisting yarn.

Hearing the gate open, Liu Xiaoman hurried to the window and, peering through the oiled paper, saw Dong Yuanxuan coming in. She immediately smiled and said, "Grandmother, mother, the husband has returned."

Upon hearing this, Madam Dong immediately stopped weaving, walked to the door, and opened it just as Dong Yuanxuan strode in: "Why have you returned at this time?" Seeing Bu Gandang standing in the courtyard, she paused, "And who is this man?"

Dong Yuanxuan introduced with a smile: "Mother, Commander Bu is from the Little Prince’s service."

Upon hearing this, Madam Dong’s eyes lit up. When she saw the orders her son handed her, she quickly took them and began to read, then swiftly walked to the brick bed and excitedly said to Old Madam Dong, "Mother, the Little Prince has come to Xiliang, and he is transferring us to the Gan State Guard."

Old Madam Dong took the orders and read them. Afterward, tears filled her eyes.

Since the Dong Family’s misfortune, she had been holding her breath. She was too unwilling to accept it. Her son and grandson were so outstanding, yet they were exiled to such a cold and harsh place because of the family’s misdeeds.

Not only did they have to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, but they also had to endure the oppression of others.

She was old bones herself; dying in this place meant little to her, but her son and grandson were still young, especially since she was about to have a great-grandson. The thought of her great-grandson living in such hardship was unbearable.

Now that the Little Prince had come, as long as he was willing to give them a chance, with her son and grandson’s abilities, they could surely carve out a future for the Dong Family.

Old Madam Dong and Madam Dong excitedly read and reread the orders. Noticing his wife sitting uncertainly to the side, Dong Yuanxuan approached and said, "We’ll soon be off to the Gan State Guard. Go pack two sets of clothes for me; I need to leave today."

Liu Xiaoman, aware of her husband’s family’s past status and conscious of her limited knowledge, did not ask further but quickly got down from the brick bed and went to pack.

Coming back from her excitement, Madam Dong looked at Dong Yuanxuan: "Leaving today, in such a hurry?"

Dong Yuanxuan nodded: "Tens of thousands of refugees are gathered outside Ganzhou City. The Little Prince wants me to oversee their settlement. I’ll go ahead; the rest of you don’t need to rush. Grandfather and grandmother are old, and Xiaoman is pregnant. It’s better for you to take your time on the road."

Madam Dong nodded: "Should we call your father back?"

Dong Yuanxuan shook his head: "No need. It’s several miles away, and the back and forth would be troublesome. I’ll go say goodbye to grandfather and then leave. When father returns, show him the orders. He’ll understand everything."

After visiting Old Master Dong, Dong Yuanxuan returned to find Liu Xiaoman had finished packing the clothes.

Taking the bundle, he looked at his wife’s somewhat anxious eyes and gently brushed the loose hair from her forehead: "Take good care of grandmother and also yourself and the child in your belly. Soon, we will be reunited in the Gan State Guard."

Her husband’s simple words comforted Liu Xiaoman’s heart.

"Don’t worry, my husband, I will take good care of the family."

Dong Yuanxuan nodded, said his goodbyes to Old Madam Dong and Madam Dong, and then, accompanied by Bu Gandang, he rode away on horseback.
