That night, Heyue went to her mother's room to rest.
But the very next day at dinner, Lady Irgen Gioro was still able to explain to Thirteen with a smile, "My daughter and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's natural that we miss each other. I hope my husband won't mind?"
Thirteen dared not say she minded. The other party was polite to her on the surface, but she was not polite at all when it came to doing things. She chuckled and said, "Mother, you are too kind. It is only right for Heyue to keep you company. If you are bored, Mother can have Heyue accompany you to walk around and see the sights. Yangzhou is a pretty nice place."
“The young master is very reasonable, but we can’t wrong him. I heard that the young master doesn’t have a maidservant by his side. Zhizhu in Xiaoqi’s room is a sensible girl, so the young master should be satisfied.”
Zhizhu, who was serving Heyue, was stunned and opened her mouth wide, her face turning deathly pale.
Heyue was shocked and hurriedly tugged at her mother's sleeve, forcing a smile: "Mother, let's not talk about this..." When she met her mother's sharp gaze, Heyue suddenly stopped talking, lowered her eyelids, and felt a tightness in her heart.
Didn't we already agree on this? Why are we bringing it up again?
Irgen Gioro looked at Thirteen again, put a piece of food on Thirteen's plate, and smiled, which made Thirteen's heart pound.
I'm flattered.
What is his mother-in-law trying to do? Is she trying to trip him up and Heyue? No way!
Is there something you're dissatisfied with about yourself?
Otherwise, why would they both forbid them from sharing a room and introduce him to concubines?
After a moment's thought, Thirteen suddenly understood and smiled, "Mother, what are you saying? Heyue and I are a loving couple, and Heyue alone is enough for me. Why would I want another woman? Heyue is only staying with you for a few days. How could I be wronged?"
Seeing the satisfied look in Irgen Gioro's eyes, Thirteen breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had guessed correctly.
This Yiergenjueluo clan member was clearly using him as a concubine to silence him.
How much does she distrust her son-in-law?
“Since you say so, son-in-law, I will let Xiao Qi stay with me for a few more days.” Yiergenjueluo’s smile deepened.
Thirteen choked on his words, his heart filled with bitterness. At this moment, he deeply felt that bringing the Irgen Gioro clan here was a mistake.
After a peaceful meal, Thirteen went to school, and at noon he was invited to Zhang's Medical Clinic.
Since his chance encounter with Manager Zhang of Zhang's School, Thirteen took the opportunity to visit Zhang's Medical Clinic the very next day. He quickly hit it off with Manager Zhang, feeling as if they were kindred spirits who had known each other for a long time. They often made plans to play chess together or go to the Slender West Lake to enjoy the scenery.
Heyue returned to her room with her mother, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring that up again, Mother? Didn't we already agree on it?"
Irgen Gioro sat down and glanced at her: "Your mother did promise you, but I have to test his willpower myself. If he can really resist temptation and not touch any woman during this period, then I will believe you and stop interfering with you."
Then, turning to Zhizhu, who was pouring tea, he directly instructed, "Zhizhu, these days you should serve Master Jin more, walk around in front of him more often, dress up in a bright and stylish way, but you mustn't have any romantic thoughts about him, understand?"
Zhizhu, her face pale, nodded in agreement.
Heyue said helplessly, "Mother, how can you do this? This is going too far."
Isn't this tempting people to commit crimes? And it's so blatant, how could Thirteen not see it?
Irgen Gioro tapped her forehead, exasperated: "How could I have given birth to such a foolish daughter? All these years he hasn't touched other women, perhaps because he's still infatuated with you, or perhaps because you've kept a close eye on him and he hasn't had the chance. Now that the opportunity has come knocking, let's see if he can hold onto it."
"What if we can't protect her?" Heyue muttered softly, "Wouldn't that harm our daughter?"
Which man in the world can resist temptation? It all depends on how strong the temptation is. If the temptation is strong enough, no man can resist it.
The same goes for thirteen.
Now, Thirteen only has Heyue in his heart, and Heyue believes that he will not cheat on her.
But there's no need to use this to test things out.
Firstly, Heyue wanted to enjoy the good times with Shisan while they were still together and didn't want to doubt this or that. Secondly, she didn't want to face the day when Shisan couldn't resist temptation.
Let everything take its natural course.
Seeing that she was truly unhappy, Lady Irgen Gioro chuckled, "Look at you, you really care? Fine, since you're unwilling, your mother won't make things difficult for him."
Heyue was overjoyed that her mother had given up so easily.
On the fourth day after the arrival of the Irgen Gioro clan, Marhan also arrived.
Heyue and Shisan welcomed their father inside, and the family happily gathered together. They listened to their father recount the interesting things that happened on the road, and Malhan asked Heyue and Shisan how they had been doing lately.
Upon receiving confirmation and seeing his daughter still full of energy, Marhan instantly felt relieved.
"You child, you never give me a moment's peace," Marhan scolded Heyue coldly.
"Father-in-law, it was my fault. I failed to protect Heyue and caused her to suffer. If you must blame someone, blame me." Thirteen quickly stood up and bowed.
Marhan's expression changed. He stood up, took Thirteen's arm, and scolded, "How can you blame the son-in-law? I know this girl's personality. She's always been careless, and my husband and I are often worried about her. We'll have to trouble the son-in-law to be more tolerant of her."
Thirteen glanced at He Yue, smiled, and nodded: "That's natural."
From then on, Father and Mother settled down here.
Because of Father's arrival, Heyue and Shisan were finally free from their separation. It was at Father's insistence that they were able to do so, and he even scolded Mother, saying that Mother was confused.
