Chapter 927 Chapter 927, Look After
"Greetings, Lord Duke!"
As Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang followed Daohua into the backyard, they ran into Gu Jian head-on. Knowing Gu Jian's identity, they hurriedly saluted.
Gu Jian looked at Guo Ruomei.
This was the first time he met Xiaojiu's ex-wife. He didn't bother to care why Xiaojiu divorced. However, Daohua was due to give birth in more than a month, and he was still very satisfied that Yeyang's biological mother could come and take care of him at this time.
Although he is a doctor, he still needs to be cautious when it comes to childbirth. The midwife at home is another layer of separation, and is not as reliable as Ye Yang's biological mother.
Gu Jian hummed, motioning Guo Ruomei to stand up. He then glanced at Chu Lang again and said nothing. He only instructed Daohua, "The guest has come from afar, so please treat him well."
After saying that, he left.
When Guo Ruomei heard the word "guest" from Gu Jian, her face turned bitter, but she was already very satisfied that Gu Jian allowed her to visit him.
If she were in the capital, she would probably only be able to meet her son and daughter-in-law outside, and not in a public manner.
Chu Lang didn't react much. Putting aside Ruomei's relationship, he might not even be considered a guest when he came to the Xiao Mansion.
Daohua was worried that Guo Ruomei might find Gu Jian's attitude cold, so she smiled and explained, "Mother, Master is a bit of a loner. Don't be fooled by his stern face, he's actually a very kind person. You'll understand after Mother and Uncle Chu spend more time in the mansion."
Guo Ruomei smiled and nodded, and followed Chu Lang into the house with Daohua.
Chu Lang took a look at the furnishings in the room and said with a smile, "Xiliang is a poor place with very few resources. I thought your life here would be hard, but it seems to be quite good."
As he spoke, he picked up the fruit on the table and started eating. As he ate, he said, "The windows and the roof are all covered with glass, so I can eat as much fruit and cakes as I want. This little life is better than what I had in the capital."
"Thank goodness your mother-in-law thought you were living in poverty, so she brought a lot of things with her when she left. I even had to intercept bandits twice along the way."
When Daohua heard they had encountered bandits, she quickly looked at Guo Ruomei and asked, "Mother, are you all right?"
Chu Lang smiled and said, "With me here, how could anything go wrong?"
Daohua then smiled and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, mother. Although Yeyang and I have no shortage of food, the food you brought must be good. This way, I will have a feast again."
Guo Ruomei smiled and said, "The things I brought are a bit mixed. Please ask the maid to write down what you like to eat and what you are used to. I will bring more next time."
Daohua didn't hesitate and nodded vigorously with a smile.
She knew that her mother-in-law wanted to compensate Xiao Yeyang through her, so she naturally would not refuse her kindness.
"Mother, you don't know how tired Xiao Yeyang is after coming to Xiliang."
Knowing that her mother-in-law wanted to know about Xiao Yeyang's situation, Daohua then talked about everything related to Xiao Yeyang. Hearing that Xiao Yeyang was very hard-working and busy, Guo Ruomei felt heartbroken.
Even Chu Lang fell silent for a rare moment after hearing what Xiao Yeyang had done after coming to Xiliang and the difficulties and challenges he faced.
Daohua waited until Guyu came in and nodded to her, indicating that the yard was cleaned up, before she stopped complaining: "Mother, you and Uncle Chu have worked hard all the way. The yard is cleaned up. You should go wash up and rest first."
Having said that, he was about to stand up to see him off.
Guo Ruomei quickly held her down and said, "You're too heavy now, just let the maid lead us there."
Daohua smiled and shook her head: "No way, I'm not tired. It's good for my health to walk around more."
Daohua insisted on personally sending Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang to the courtyard where they lived, and only left with a smile after confirming that everything was in order.
Chu Lang looked around the yard and the room and said with a smile, "Your daughter-in-law is quite good. She didn't let us stay in the courtyard."
Guo Ruomei smiled and said, "Yiyi is a good person, but I don't know if Yeyang welcomes us over."
Chu Lang snorted: "How could he not be happy if you come to help him look after his wife?"
Guo Ruomei glanced at him sideways: "What do you mean by helping him? They are my daughter-in-law and grandson."
Chu Lang: "Anyway, that kid benefits."
On the other side, after Daohua returned to the house, she asked the secret guard to pass the message to Xiao Yeyang, telling him that Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang had arrived.
Xiao Yeyang had just finished inspecting Ganzhou Guard and was about to continue inspecting Jinwei Guard when he received news from Daohua. Knowing that Guo Ruomei had arrived, a hint of joy suddenly flashed across his eyes.
Xiao Yeyang spoke to the generals around him and asked them to inspect Jinweiwei first. He was going back to Ganzhou City and said that he would catch up with them later.
So, the next morning, Xiao Yeyang rushed back overnight.
Seeing Guo Ruomei, Xiao Yeyang didn't show any joy on his face. He pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Why are you here?" He glanced at Chu Lang and asked, "Did you bring him with you?"
Guo Ruomei didn't care about Xiao Yeyang's attitude. She just smiled at the dusty Xiao Yeyang, with joy and heartache in her eyes.
Chu Lang stood not far away with his arms folded across his chest and snorted. He could see that Xiao Yeyang had come back specially and didn't say anything unpleasant after all.
Daohua noticed Xiao Yeyang's awkwardness and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Of course mother came to see me and the baby." After saying that, she quietly twisted Xiao Yeyang's waist, signaling him not to go too far.
She actually knew that in Xiao Yeyang's heart, he still had admiration for his mother-in-law.
Afterwards, Daohua pulled Xiao Yeyang back to the house to wash up.
"Mother came all the way to see us, so you should be nicer."
Xiao Yeyang took the handkerchief and wiped his face, then retorted: "I rushed back specially, and your attitude is still not good?"
Rice Flower: "Then why don't you call me mother?"
Xiao Yeyang's face flashed with discomfort: "And she also brought that annoying guy Chu Lang with her."
Daohua was speechless: "When you left Beijing before, didn't you ask your mother to find someone to take care of herself? She listened to you, but now you are not happy about it."
Xiao Yeyang couldn't refute it, and snorted, "Who are you on the side of?"
Daohua glanced at him and said, "I'm your wife, who do you think I side with?" Then she walked to Xiao Yeyang's side and waited until Xiao Yeyang helped her sit down before continuing:
"Only in Xiliang can we live under the same roof with our mother. This is a rare opportunity, so you should cherish it."
"Besides, my mother came here this time obviously to look after me. With a female elder by my side, I'm not so scared anymore."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang immediately looked at Daohua nervously: "Are you scared?"
Daohua: "Of course I'm scared. They say giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I'm in good health, but what if..."
Xiao Yeyang covered Daohua's mouth with his hand and said seriously, "Nothing will happen. You and the child will be fine."
Daohua held Xiao Yeyang's hand, feeling his nervousness, and quickly comforted him: "I'm just saying in case..."
Xiao Yeyang interrupted Daohua again loudly: "I said, there is no such thing as a single event."
Daohua looked at the furious Xiao Yeyang and compromised, "Yes, yes, there's no such thing as a one-time event. What I mean is, mother has come all the way to Xiliang to see us, so we should treat her well."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, and just when Daohua thought he would not speak, he said in a muffled voice, "I understand."
By the time they had lunch, Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang clearly felt that Xiao Yeyang's attitude had become much softer.
Chu Lang was even more horrified when he heard Xiao Yeyang call him Uncle Chu.
Is Xiao Yeyang having a brain fever?
