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?” _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

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?”
