The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 947 - 805: Under the Thumb_2

Finally, the two approached Guo Ruomei.

When it was time to kowtow, Xiao Yeyang did so decisively, but when it came to addressing her, Xiao Yeyang hesitated.

Daohua quickly cast a glance at him, signaling Xiao Yeyang to hurriedly address her.

Xiao Yeyang moved his lips, yet he still struggled to speak out.

Seeing this, Guo Ruomei didn’t want to embarrass her son. She was about to tell them to rise when she saw Daohua pass the teacup held by Xue Mei and sternly glared at her son.

Then, everyone in the room heard Xiao Yeyang mutter a barely audible "Mother."

Guo Ruomei almost cried tears of joy, excitedly watching Xiao Yeyang with her hands clasped together, unsure of what to do.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang had only uttered "Mother" and stopped, Daohua lifted the teacup in her hand and whispered, "Xiao Yeyang, you haven’t introduced me yet!"

Xiao Yeyang came back to his senses, looked at Guo Ruomei with complexity, and raised his voice slightly, "Mother, this is your daughter-in-law, your son has brought her here to offer you tea."

"Mother, please drink the tea!"

Daohua, beaming with joy, handed the tea to Guo Ruomei.

With slightly moist eyes, Guo Ruomei took the tea from Daohua and drank it in one gulp. Then she stood up, took one by the hand, and personally helped Daohua and Xiao Yeyang to their feet.

"My good child, having you by Yangyang’s side puts me at ease."

As she spoke, Guo Ruomei placed a pair of yellow jade bracelets on Daohua’s wrists.

Daohua shook the yellow jade bracelets on her wrist, "They are beautiful, thank you, Mother."

The Governor, sitting at the head of the table, had been quietly observing Daohua. Because of his eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter Xueming, he originally had some reservations about this girl, but after meeting her today, any prejudice he had vanished instantly.

Is his granddaughter good? Naturally, she is good, but she isn’t as suitable for Yeyang as the girl before him.

Yeyang needed such a bright and expressive wife by his side. His granddaughter had been taught to be too dignified; even if she were with Yeyang, they could at best manage mutual respect.

The conversation in the room afterward was rather relaxed and pleasant.

Seeing Daohua sitting demurely by his side, looking completely dependent and obedient to him, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but be inwardly amused.

...

Over in the main courtyard, Madam Guo initially managed to stay calm, but as she waited without receiving any news of Xiao Yeyang and Yan Yiyi coming to greet her, she sent someone to inquire at Qizi Hall.

Upon hearing that Xiao Yeyang had introduced Yan Yiyi to his father and husband and even addressed a young sister-in-law as ’Mother,’ and that they all seemed quite pleased with Yan Yiyi as the new bride—chatting and laughing—Madam Guo was furious.

Thinking how her daughter had been delayed so long by Xiao Yeyang and would have to marry far away in Jiangnan, unable to see her family for years, her hatred intensified.

"Madam Guo, please go to Dongjiao Alley and invite Chu Lang to the mansion. Tell him that there is a family banquet today and the Governor has invited him over."

With intense hatred in her eyes, if only her young sister-in-law had been willing to intervene back then, her daughter and Yeyang might have had a chance, but she mercilessly declined.

Now her son was happy, but her daughter had suffered greatly.

Her young sister-in-law wanted to enjoy family happiness, but did she agree?

She wanted to see what Xiao Yeyang’s reaction would be when he found out that his mother had fallen for another man and wanted to remarry.

As noon approached, the Governor personally led Xiao Yeyang and Daohua into the room and seated them next to him.

Seeing the Governor’s special regard for them, the Guo Family clan members all came forward to congratulate the couple.

Daohua responded confidently to the female members present, with a balanced tone and articulate speech, pleasing the Governor immensely, who couldn’t help but whisper to the Governor next to him, "Yeyang has quite the eye."

Just as everyone was taking their seats and getting ready to start the meal, Nanny Guo ushered Chu Lang in.

The moment Chu Lang saw Xiao Yeyang, his heart skipped a beat, quickly realizing that he might have fallen into a trap set by the women of the inner palace. He thought about leaving, but with everyone watching, leaving now would not only be embarrassing but reflect poorly on Ruomei.

"Ah, Mr. Chu is here! Come, have a seat next to Ruomei. There’s room by her," Madam Guo called out cheerfully to Chu Lang.

Seeing Chu Lang, Guo Ruomei was first taken aback, then explosively angry; Chu Lang wouldn’t come uninvited, and she didn’t need to guess to know that her sister-in-law was behind it.
