Chapter 806, Stealing Mother
Because of Chu Lang's arrival, Xiao Yeyang, who had planned to have dinner before going back, took the rice flowers and said goodbye to Duke Dingguo and Governor Guo after lunch.
Guo Ruomei did not show up, but just stood in the distance, silently watching Xiao Yeyang and Daohua leaving.
Chu Lang glanced at Guo Ruomei, who had a gloomy expression, and quickly turned around to chase after her.
Xiao Yeyang had just helped Daohua onto the carriage when Chu Lang's voice came over: "Boy, don't take what that crazy woman said just now to heart. Your mother never said she wanted to marry me."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Chu Lang coldly: "Do you dare to say that you don't want to marry my mother?"
Chu Lang didn't hide anything and said directly: "Of course I want to, I dream about it, but" he glanced at Xiao Yeyang, "If you don't agree, she won't agree."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression eased a little, but he still didn't look at Chu Lang in a good mood. Ever since the first time he met this man, he had no good impression of him for any reason.
With a snort, Xiao Yeyang got into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, looking at Xiao Yeyang with a sour face, Daohua approached carefully and took his arm.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the rice flowers that were staring at him and snorted, "Are you going to speak up for Chu Lang?"
Daohua said righteously, "How could that be? You are my husband, and I want to help you. Chu Lang wants to take my mother away, and I don't agree with it."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yeyang's face and saw that his brows had relaxed a little. He continued, "I was just anxious, wasn't I? If you really questioned your mother in front of so many people, how embarrassed would she be?"
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it privately. Why bring it up in public and give others something to talk about after dinner?"
Xiao Yeyang pursed his lips and said nothing. He was indeed a little impulsive just now. When he heard that his mother was going to marry Chu Lang, a feeling of being abandoned again suddenly arose in his heart, and he couldn't control the anger in his heart.
Daohua held Xiao Yeyang's hand tightly with her fingers interlocked. She understood his feelings. Ever since he called out "mother" in the morning, this guy might not have realized that there was admiration in his eyes when he looked at his mother.
He had finally managed to ease the relationship with his mother, but suddenly someone showed up and tried to snatch his mother from him. It would be strange if he didn't get furious.
Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua and asked uncertainly, "Do you think mother will really marry Chu Lang?"
Daohua was silent for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yeyang: "I only know that the person mother cares about the most is definitely you." Seeing that Xiao Yeyang seemed unconvinced, she added, "Otherwise, with Mr. Chu's ability to cling to her will (to remain infatuated), mother would have agreed to him a long time ago, wouldn't she?"
Xiao Yeyang reluctantly agreed with this, nodded, and snorted, "That Chu Lang is really annoying. There are so many women in the world, why does he have to pester my mother?"
Daohua didn't want to discuss this topic with him at this time. She smiled and shook her wrist, revealing the pair of topaz bracelets Guo Ruomei had given her. "Do they look good?" She said with a smile to herself, "I made a small fortune today. This is the good thing about visiting relatives."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her with a smile: "You are just a money-grubber."
Dingguo Gongfu.
After Xiao Yeyang and Daohua left, Duke Dingguo called his eldest son aside and said, "Over the years, because you were sent out, I was very tolerant of your wife. Every time she did something wrong, as long as it wasn't too extreme, I turned a blind eye. I never thought that this would make her become more and more daring."
"She secretly called Chu Lang over and exposed Ruomei and Chu Lang's affair in public, angering Yeyang. If it weren't for Yeyang's wife's cleverness in diverting the matter, we wouldn't have been able to have this reunion dinner today."
"I really want to ask her, what good will it do to her if I alienate the relationship between Ruomei and Yeyang?"
Governor Guo finally defended his wife, "Father, don't be angry. Yuan Shi probably acted impulsively because she thought Xue Ming was going to marry far away in Jiangnan."
Duke Dingguo snorted, "Don't speak for her. Do you really think I don't know how she used such a foolish trick to deal with the Yan family and Yeyang's wife?"
"I won't pursue these matters. Let's just say she loves her daughter dearly, but what she did today, did she still have the slightest bit of the demeanor of a mistress of the house?"
As he said this, he sighed.
"The Emperor intends to suppress the nobles, especially military families like ours. The Duke's Mansion is already showing signs of decline. Who knows what will happen a hundred years from now?"
"Yeyang is still willing to associate with us now, but that's because of you and me. He grew up in Zhongzhou and wasn't close to Jinghua and the others. Instead of taking this opportunity to make friends, he's rushing to offend them. Has your wife made any plans for her two sons?"
"Xue Ming is marrying far away, so she needs the support of her family. With Ye Yang as a royal relative, the Jia family will always be cautious and won't bully her."
"But look at what stupid things your wife has done?"
Duke Dingguo looked at the silent Governor Guo, sighed, and waved his hand, saying, "The wife is yours, you can do whatever you want."
Governor Guo saw that Duke Dingguo looked tired, so he helped him to sleep before returning to the main courtyard.
Mrs. Guo watched her husband return to the house anxiously. She wanted to say something, but seeing her husband's sullen face, she felt she was in the right and swallowed back her words of submission.
Governor Guo was silent for a moment, then said, "After returning to Beijing to report on my work, I may be unemployed at home forever."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guo's eyes widened: "How could it be?"
Governor Guo scoffed. "Why not? You've been staying in the capital all this time. Don't you know what's going on in the other Duke's Mansions? Aside from the Cheng'en Mansion, which has the support of the Empress Dowager, and the Weiguo Mansion, which is highly regarded by the Emperor, which Dukes and Crown Princes aren't all unemployed?"
Mrs. Guo: "You have done so much for the Emperor, how could he just abandon you?"
"Shut up!"
Governor Guo looked at Mrs. Guo with a sullen expression: "Are you trying to kill our entire family?"
Mrs. Guo was frightened by the furious Governor Guo and shook her head repeatedly: "I didn't, I..."
Governor Guo took a deep breath and said, "After the New Year, you should stay at the manor for a while and reflect on your mistakes. Come back when Xueming gets married."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left without waiting for Mrs. Guo to say anything.
After Mei Xue learned the news, she immediately told Guo Ruomei.
After hearing this, Guo Ruomei had no reaction.
Her sister-in-law deserves to be punished.
To be honest, she really couldn't understand her sister-in-law's train of thought. When she divorced Prince Heping, she blamed her for losing face for the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and was angry with her. She understood.
But Ye Yang was willing to ease the relationship with her, so why did she want to ruin it? Was she really that jealous of him?
What's even more ridiculous is that she actually blamed her and Ye Yang for Xue Ming's marriage to Jiangnan.
Guo Ruomei took a look at the packed gifts, got up and went to the courtyard of Duke Dingguo. That night she left the Duke's Mansion and lived in her own farm.
