The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949: Chapter 806, Snatching Mother

Because of Chu Lang’s arrival, Xiao Yeyang, who had originally planned to leave after dinner, bid farewell to the Duke and Governor Guo right after lunch, taking Daohua with him.

Guo Ruomei did not come forward, she just stood in the distance, silently watching the backs of Xiao Yeyang and Daohua as they departed.

Chu Lang glanced at the disheartened Guo Ruomei and quickly turned to follow them.

Just as Xiao Yeyang was helping Daohua into the carriage, Chu Lang’s voice reached them, "Kid, don’t mind the words of that madwoman. Your mother never agreed to marry me."

Xiao Yeyang looked coldly at Chu Lang, "Dare you say, you don’t wish to marry my mother?"

Chu Lang did not conceal his intentions, plainly saying, "Of course, I dream of it, but..." he glanced sideways at Xiao Yeyang, "if you do not agree, she will not nod her head."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression eased slightly, but he still did not show a good face to Chu Lang. Ever since he first met the man, he knew he was after his mother.

With a snort, Xiao Yeyang climbed into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, seeing the sullen-faced Xiao Yeyang, Daohua cautiously moved closer and clasped his arm.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, who was looking at him earnestly, and snorted, "Are you speaking in favor of Chu Lang?"

Daohua said with righteous indignation, "How could I? You are my husband; if I were to take sides, it would be yours. I also don’t agree with Chu Lang trying to take Mother away."

While talking, she checked Xiao Yeyang’s face, seeing his brows relax slightly, she continued, "I was just anxious earlier. If you really questioned Mother in front of so many people, how embarrassed she would have been?"

"Why must we air our grievances in public and give people something to gossip about over their idle tea?"

Xiao Yeyang pursed his lips and remained silent. He was really impulsive earlier; upon hearing that his mother was going to marry Chu Lang, a feeling of being abandoned surged inside him, and he couldn’t control the fire in his heart.

Daohua, interlocking her fingers tightly with Xiao Yeyang’s, understood his feelings. Since that morning when he called out ’Mother’, he might not have been aware, but there was a look of deep admiration in his eyes whenever he looked at her.

They had just recently smoothed over their relationship with Mother when suddenly someone appeared trying to take her from him—it was odd if he wasn’t furious.

Feeling the warmth in Xiao Yeyang’s hand, he embraced Daohua, asking uncertainly, "Tell me, will Mother... really marry Chu Lang?"

Daohua was silent for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yeyang, "All I know is that the person Mother cares about most is definitely you." Seeing Xiao Yeyang seemed disbelieving, she added, "Otherwise, with Chu Lang’s unyielding pursuit, Mother would have agreed to him long ago, wouldn’t she?"

Xiao Yeyang reluctantly accepted this, nodding his head and snorting, "That Chu Lang is really annoying, with so many women around, why must he pester Mother?"

Daohua did not want to discuss this topic at that moment, she grinned as she shook her wrist, showing off the pair of yellow jade bracelets that Guo Ruomei had given her: "Are they beautiful?" she asked, laughing to herself, "I’ve scored a little fortune today, visiting relatives is truly beneficial."

Xiao Yeyang gave her a playful look, "You’re just a money-grubber."

...

Duke Residence.

After Xiao Yeyang and Daohua left, the Duke called over his eldest son, "Over these years, due to your deployment, I have tolerated much from your wife. Every time she caused trouble, as long as it wasn’t too much, I turned a blind eye. However, I never imagined, she’s become bolder."

"Summoning Chu Lang privately, publicizing the affair between Ruomei and Chu Lang in front of everyone, and infuriating Yeyang—even if Yeyang’s wife hadn’t cleverly shifted the topic today, we all would not have been able to enjoy this family reunion meal."

Madam Guo said, "You’ve done so much for the Emperor; how could he cast you aside after using you..."

"Shut up!"

Governor Guo’s face turned iron blue as he looked at Madam Guo, "Are you trying to get our whole family killed? "

Madam Guo, scared by the furiously angry Governor Guo, shook her head repeatedly, "I haven’t, I..."

Governor Guo took a deep breath, "After the New Year, go stay at the manor for a while. Reflect on your actions properly, and you can come back when Xueming gets married."

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Madam Guo to say anything; he left abruptly.

Mei Xue, upon hearing this news, immediately told Guo Ruomei.

Guo Ruomei, upon hearing it, didn’t react at all.

Her sister-in-law deserved to be severely punished.

Frankly, she couldn’t understand her sister-in-law’s way of thinking. Initially, when she divorced the Peace Prince, her sister-in-law blamed her for disgracing Duke Cheng’en Residence and was angry with her; that she understood.

But why would she sabotage things when Yeyang was willing to improve relations? Could she not bear to see her own good fortune?

Even more absurd was that she blamed Yeyang and herself for Xueming’s distant marriage to Jiangnan.

Guo Ruomei glanced at the packed luggage, got up, and went to Duke Cheng’en’s courtyard. That very night, she left the Duke Residence and moved to her own manor.
