Chapter 1105: Chapter 928, The Army Presses the Border

"Look how delighted Mother is now that you’ve been more gentle these past few days."

Daohua sat on the armchair soaking her feet.

Her legs were somewhat swollen due to the late stages of pregnancy, and now she needed hot water soaks every night.

Xiao Yeyang sat on a low stool with his hands in the hot water, massaging Daohua’s feet and legs.

Daohua continued, "Uncle Chu is actually quite a good person. Although he’s a bit unconventional, he does take great care of Mother. With him looking after her, we can rest assured, right?"

Xiao Yeyang kept his head down and said nothing.

Daohua glanced at him, "Stop being jealous of Uncle Chu."

Xiao Yeyang looked up, his eyes wide, "Who’s jealous of him? Don’t talk nonsense."

Daohua pouted, "Every time you and Uncle Chu face each other, you both start showing off, looking like you can’t stand one another. The smell of jealousy emanates from you even from a distance."

Xiao Yeyang, having his true feelings exposed, couldn’t help but tickle Daohua’s round and plump little feet, making her break into laughter.

"To accuse you falsely, what a big man I am to be jealous."

After Daohua laughed for a while, she stopped and extended her foot grumpily, pretending to kick Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang quickly grabbed Daohua’s ankle, then calmly took a dry towel from Guyu and dried off Daohua’s foot.

Then, he picked her up and placed her on the bed.

After Daohua lay against the pillow, Xiao Yeyang placed her legs on his own and began to gently massage them.

"Your legs are so swollen; remember to have Guyu massage them every evening when I’m not home."

Daohua nodded, "I know."

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, "I need to leave for the Jinwei Guard early tomorrow."

Daohua felt reluctant but did not show it, "Go ahead. I have Master and Mother to take care of me; you don’t need to worry."

Lately, there had been some unrest in Xiliao, so it was already quite difficult for Xiao Yeyang to come home and stay for a couple of days.

Xiao Yeyang, caressing Daohua’s belly, "I will definitely come back when the child is born."

Daohua smiled, "The nannies all checked and said that the due date should be around mid-May."

Xiao Yeyang, "I’ve noted that." Saying so, he laid his head on her stomach.

Just then, the little one in the belly moved, and Daohua exclaimed in surprise, while Xiao Yeyang’s mouth spread into a grin.

"The child is greeting me; he must know I’m leaving and can’t bear to part with me."

Daohua gave a sideways glance at the foolishly happy Xiao Yeyang, not bothering to contradict him.

The next morning, while Daohua was still asleep, Xiao Yeyang bid farewell to Gu Jian and then went to see Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang before riding away.

Watching Xiao Yeyang’s receding figure, Chu Lang remarked, "This guy really has it tough. With the child about to be born, he still needs to go out for inspections and training."

Guo Ruomei suddenly looked over, "And you’re still causing trouble for Yangyang?"

Chu Lang looked extremely wronged, "Me, causing him trouble? It’s always him looking at me like I’m not quite right."

Guo Ruomei was silent for a moment. It’s true her son had a bit of a temper but then said, "As an elder, you should be more tolerant. Besides, if he’s giving you attitude, isn’t it because you provoked him?"

Chu Lang replied, "The Border Army stationed in Xiliang has already started converging at Xintunwei. They should be able to handle it." Then, looking at Guo Ruomei, he added, "Should we tell the young lady about this?"

Guo Ruomei went silent for a moment, then said, "The Xiliao army pressing at our borders can’t be concealed. Rather than having her hear it from others, I should be the one to tell her."

Seeing the worry on Guo Ruomei’s face, Chu Lang thought for a moment, then said, "Should I go to Xintunwei? With me there, I can guarantee that the young master will be safe."

Guo Ruomei shook her head, "No, you shouldn’t go. We stay here in Ganzhou City, looking after Yiyi; only then can Yeyang fight without worries."

Hearing that, Chu Lang did not say more. _{freēwebnovel.com}

Guo Ruomei mentally prepared her speech and decided how to talk to Daohua before heading to the main courtyard.

...

Upon hearing that the Xiliao army was pressing at the borders, Daohua tightened inside a little. However, she had been prepared and maintained emotional stability, holding onto her belly without panic.

Seeing that Daohua had a good capacity to endure, Guo Ruomei secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Leave the fighting to Yeyang. Now you just need to take good care of yourself. If you become anxious and fearful, the child in your belly will feel it too."

A faint smile appeared on Daohua’s face: "Mother, don’t worry. I’m fine."

Guo Ruomei sighed inwardly, knowing that being a family member of a soldier, it’s inevitable to endure anxiety and fear.

Daohua didn’t have time to worry; she quickly calculated the amount of food supplies. Fortunately, Xiaoliu had already delivered two shipments of food, so the army’s provisions should be sufficient.

Elsewhere, Gu Jian also received the news and hurriedly came to Daohua’s courtyard, seeing that Daohua was relatively calm, he let go of his concerns.

"Yeyang does have some skills; those mere 250,000 soldiers from Xiliao are not a problem. Don’t let wild thoughts concern you."

Seeing Gu Jian so confidently dismiss the threat of the Xiliao army as if it were nothing, Daohua could not help but smile: "Master, of course, I believe in Xiao Yeyang."
