Chapter 623: Chapter 565, Trouble Arises_3
Madam Guo raised her eyebrows, disbelief in her eyes, but thinking of the boom of the glass factory in Beijing, she said with a smile, “Yeyang has built our Daxia’s first glass factory in Ningmen Prefecture, which is indeed commendable. However, my husband, how is the glass factory’s business?”
Governor Guo replied with a smile, “Certainly not bad at all, as glass is always in high demand.”
Madam Guo quickly said, “Please tell me more, dear.”
Governor Guo replied, “How would I know that?”
Madam Guo frowned, “Hasn’t Yeyang taken the initiative to tell you?”
Governor Guo shook his head, “That boy has become increasingly secretive, but since the glass factory is his, if he doesn’t speak of it, I won’t ask.”
Madam Guo disagreed, “That’s not right, my husband. Yeyang is just a child alone in Zhongzhou; you’re his only elder around. Shouldn’t you be more involved?”
Governor Guo smiled, “That boy doesn’t need me to.” Looking at Madam Guo, he continued, “What exactly did your father tell you? You have been beating around the bush and haven’t gotten to the point.”
Madam Guo said, “Father wants to propose Xueming’s marriage to Yeyang. My husband, do you think this is feasible?”
Governor Guo fell silent for a while before saying, “It’s feasible, but Yeyang is quite his own man now…”
Before he finished speaking, Madam Guo interrupted in displeasure, “What, our Xueming isn’t good enough for him? Would he actually be reluctant?”
Governor Guo showed agreement but added, “The two children are indeed a good match, but who can really tell when it comes to matters of the heart?”
Madam Guo snorted, “In matters of marriage, the parents’ decree and the matchmaker’s word should suffice. Although you are not his parent, you are certainly a close elder. Won’t he listen to you? Remember when he was bullied in the Imperial Palace? Every time, it was you who stepped forward to save him, often offending others in the process.”
Governor Guo frowned slightly, showing displeasure, “Protecting Yeyang is my duty as his uncle. Why mention these things?”
Madam Guo pursed her lips, suppressing her discomfort.
Everything about her husband was agreeable, except for his excessive fondness for his sister and Yeyang.
“Fine, I can’t criticize him,” said Madam Guo, pausing for a moment, “Yeyang is undergoing training in your military camp, isn’t he? Call him over during the banquet so I can see him. It’s been years since I last saw him; I want to assess whether he is worthy of my Xueming.”
Governor Guo hesitated, “That’s…”
Seeing her husband’s indecisiveness, Madam Guo grew displeased, “By rights, as I am visiting Zhongzhou, Yeyang ought to come and pay his respects. But I’ve been here a while and haven’t seen a trace of him. Now, I’m hosting a banquet for Ningmen Prefecture officials, and he can’t come to see me?”
Having thought through his response, Governor Guo said, “It’s not that he can’t, I just sent him into the mountains for intense training a few days ago, and now he can’t be found.”
The nephew had secretly left, obviously not wishing his whereabouts to be known; he had to cover for him.
Madam Guo looked skeptical, “Really?”
Governor Guo nodded, “Really.”
Madam Guo fell silent, “Alright then, have him visit me when he returns. The matter of Xueming’s marriage is tricky, but if Yeyang isn’t a decent man, I wouldn’t agree to betroth my daughter to him either.”
Just then, a maid hurriedly ran in.
Madam Guo frowned, displeased, “Even though we’ve left Beijing, our household’s disciplines mustn’t be neglected. What is this panicky behavior?”
The maid quickly knelt down to admit her mistake.
Madam Guo huffed and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The maid hurriedly answered, “My lord, my lady, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have each sent a nanny to look after the Little Prince. They have already entered his residence in the prefecture city.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Guo stood up sharply, her expression very dark.
Since rejecting the marriage proposal from the Jiang Family, her daughter’s marriage prospects had been particularly troubled. She had retreated to Zhongzhou, never expecting the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family to continue their relentless pursuit.
“What a sanctimonious Empress Dowager! If she genuinely cared for Yeyang, why didn’t she send someone when he was younger? Why wait until we’ve moved here? Does she think everyone else is a fool?”
Madam Guo was so angry that she abandoned all pretense of decorum.
Although Governor Guo’s expression turned sour as well, he had more patience, and after a while, he said, “My lady, don’t be angry. The Emperor also sent a nanny, didn’t he?”
Madam Guo took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Meanwhile, at the Yan Residence.
Daohua received the news even earlier than the Guo family.
Yeyang’s residence was not far from the Rouge Shop. When the butler found out, he immediately sent someone to inform her.
Daohua frowned, “The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have sent two nannies…” Then, turning to Wang Manman, she said, “Go and find out more about this.”
Wang Manman nodded and returned about an hour later.
“Miss, I waited at the back door for a while before I learned from an acquaintance among the gatekeepers that not only two nannies have arrived at the Little Prince’s residence, but also four palace maids as beautiful as flowers, said to be gifts from the Empress Dowager to the Little Prince,” she reported.
Daohua’s brow furrowed, clearly disgusted by the practice of casually gifting women to others.
Wang Manman, noticing Daohua’s expression, added, “The two nannies, one is called Nanny Jia, an old servant from the Empress Dowager’s palace; the other is called Nanny Zhen, who serves the Emperor.”
Daohua couldn’t help but laugh, “Nanny Fake? Nanny Real?” Shaking her head in disbelief, she mused, “The Emperor and the Empress Dowager, this mother and son, truly are peculiar. But…”
Daohua narrowed her eyes, “One real and one fake, opposites to each other, it feels as if there is an implication of facing ridges… Could this mean…” The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are at odds?
“First, Madam and Miss Guo arrive, and now come the real and fake nannies. Yeyang has yet to return, but the turmoil sure has started.”
