When she had calmed down, Shao Youyue remembered Jiang Yue and quickly said, “Where’s Jiang Yue? What about my brother?”
Empress Dowager Yunzi glanced at Hui Xiang.
Hui Xiang understood and went out to invite Jiang Yue and Shao Zhongxi in.
“Mother, this, this is Jiang Yue.” Shao Youyue stammered as she hurriedly introduced the girl. She was actually a little afraid of Empress Dowager Yunzi, her mother-in-law. She felt that Empress Dowager Yunzi was too dignified to accept someone like her.
“I know.” Empress Dowager Yunzi did not even look in Jiang Yue’s direction.
Shao Youyue didn’t know what to say to Empress Dowager Yunzi. She was still a little afraid of Empress Dowager Yunzi, but she secretly smiled and waved at Jiang Yue, asking her to quickly get on the bed and come to her side.
She really liked this kid.
Moreover, she had heard Li Hehua and the others say more than once that when Xue Yan and this kid grew up, if both of them were willing, they could get married.
Wouldn’t that make her her future daughter-in-law? She became even more ecstatic knowing this news.
Jiang Yue found it a little strange that Shao Youyue seemed to like her even more suddenly. She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but her small eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly. To find answers, she looked at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan was currently being tightly hugged by his mother’s arm and was stuck. He also did not know why his mother was suddenly giving her more affection, so naturally he was unable to answer her.
Jiang Yue saw that Xue Yan could not answer her, and Shao Youyue was lovingly giving her care. She was silent for a moment, but she still obediently went over and climbed onto the bed. Shao Youyue opened her arms for a hug. Shao Youyue was extremely happy that she had two people to hug on both sides. On one side was her son, and on the other side was her future daughter-in-law.
This was the happiest day of her life.
Empress Dowager Yunzi was sitting alone on the other side of the table. She had never seen Shao Youyue and Jiang Yue interact with each other before. She did not know how the two of them usually got along, but judging from the situation before her, she could more or less tell that Shao Youyue was quite close to Jiang Yue. It must be because she had lived in Locust Village for several months. From the first time she saw Jiang Yue, she had thought that Jiang Yue was only lovable on the surface, but was actually a very cold person on the inside. Someone who could make Jiang Yue a little warm and obedient must be someone Jiang Yue cared about.
Even though Empress Dowager Yunzi saw everything, she didn’t say anything.
However, there was no need to ask Doctor Shen about her in detail. Just by looking at her daughter-in-law’s face, she knew that her daughter-in-law was in good health.
She glanced at her daughter-in-law’s seven-month-old belly again. This place was indeed the safest place to give birth.
Empress Dowager Yunzi closed her old eyes before speaking again. “The Crown Prince’s intention is to continue hiding his t.i.tle from his family that raised him and stay here for the time being. What do you think?”
She was obviously asking Shao Youyue.
Shao Youyue’s expression immediately turned cold. She bowed slightly and replied respectfully, “Mother, Aunt Guixia and the others are all good people and ordinary farmers. I wish to also keep it a secret for now. Lest they think of giving up everything they have here and follow Xue Yan to the Imperial Capital just for his safety. They’ve done too much for Xue Yan over the years, especially during the three years when he was studying at Shengming Academy. Their focus was on supporting Xue Yan’s studies. I’ve been living in their house for a few months now, so I know a lot of things.. I know that Dafu’s back is a little hunched because he works hard in supporting Xue Yan’s studies…
