The courtyard of the Shao family, which had been quiet for a few days, was bustling with activity.
Not only was Shao Qingyuan back, but Ah Mao and the other three were also standing in the courtyard, checking on their prey. It seemed like they had gained a lot from this trip.
Seeing Madam Dong enter, Shao Qingyuan handed her two pheasants. âAuntie, take them back to eat.â
However, Madam Dong couldnât be bothered to take the two pheasants. She quickly said, âQingyuan, youâre finally back. We were so worried for so many days this time. Let me tell you, Yundong is home.â
Shao Qingyuanâs eyes lit up. He stuffed the pheasants into Ah Maoâs hand and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, before he could take a step, Madam Dong grabbed him. âHey, donât be hasty. I havenât finished speaking.â
Shao Qingyuan frowned.
Madam Dong lowered her voice slightly. âNot only is Yundong back, but her father is also back.â
Shao Qingyuan paused and asked uncertainly, âHer father⦠Youâre saying that Uncle Gu has been found?â
âIsnât that so? Weâve all seen him. I heard from Yundong that she met him at Wanqing Prefecture. His father hasnât given up on looking for them for so long. Now, the family has finally reunited.â Madam Dong sighed. âYouâre the future son-in-law of the Gu family now. This is the first time youâll see your future father-in-law. How can you look like this? You have to leave a good impression on him, right?â
Shao Qingyuan had just returned from the deep mountains and was still sweating. Not only were his clothes wet, but they were also tattered. His hair was like a henâs nest. He had definitely not taken a shower in the past few days.
Gu Dajiang was a scholar. He would definitely be dissatisfied if Shao Qingyuan appeared in front of him like this.
Madam Dong knew that Shao Qingyuan didnât look pretty every time he returned from the mountains, so she quickly came over to remind him.
Shao Qingyuan looked down and nodded. âIâll go clean up.â
He turned around to get a set of clothes and went straight to the bathroom.
Madam Dong heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the prey in the courtyard.
Although they had been in the mountain for a long time and there was a lot of small prey, she did not see any big guys.
However, there seemed to be two large boxes of herbs in the corner. Did Qingyuan pick them?
Madam Dong was still looking when Ah Mao and the others surrounded her. âAuntie Dong, has Missâs father really been found? Have you seen him? What kind of person is he?â
âNeedless to say, just by looking at the girl, you should know that her father is definitely not bad-looking.â
âWho asked about his appearance? Iâm asking about his temperament. Do you know his temperament? If our young master wants to see his father-in-law, shouldnât we ask around first?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Madam Dongâs ears were buzzing as she listened to their conversation. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, âI didnât talk much to her father either. How would I know what kind of personality he has? However, her father should be someone who values family and friends. I heard that when he was in Wanqing Prefecture, he would rather not eat or drink in order to save money just to find Yundong and the others. My husband did talk to him. He said that although heâs a scholar, he doesnât look down on us bumpkins. Heâs a person whoâs easy to get along with and doesnât put on any airs.â
When Ah Mao and the other three heard this, they immediately smiled. âThen Iâm relieved. Uncle Gu will definitely be satisfied with our Young Masterâs character.â
âThatâs right. Our Young Master is responsible, loyal, and earns lots of money. Most importantly, he listens to Miss. Thereâs nothing to be picky about. If he misses this son-in-law, how can he find a better one?â
