The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: 184 Call for mom (Second update)

“Come in,” Zhen Ping smiled awkwardly and stepped aside to lead the way for the Yao Family.

The carriages of the Yao Family parked at the end of the alley, they did not even bring their housekeeper along.

She stepped into the courtyard.

When she did not show up, Zhen Ping was anxious; but when she actually came, Zhen Ping felt even more uneasy.

The reason was simple, the courtyard was too simple and bare.

Yet, there was no change in the expression on the face of the Yao Family.

...

If he knew that Yao Family had been to courtyards even simpler than this one and that her biological daughter, son-in-law, and son used to live there, he would understand why Yao Family seemed so calm.

Zhen Ping led Yao Family to the main room, nervously and excitedly said, “There’s no hot tea yet, please wait, I’ll go and ask Yuexiu to make a pot.”

“Is her name Yuexiu?” Yao Family looked at him and asked. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Zhen Ping was taken aback, not realizing that he had slipped and revealed the name of his wife. Although he felt it was inappropriate, it was too late to take it back.

He braced himself and said, “Yes, Yuexiu. She’s not from Capital City, she came here from a different place to do business.”

“She’s a very good person,” said Yao Family.

At this remark, Zhen Ping didn’t know how to respond. He paused awkwardly before suddenly remembering what they were here for, “My mother is in the next room. I’ll take you to her. I’m sorry for the plainness of my house… I did not expect that you would really come… I’m very happy that you’re here…”

Zhen Ping was rambling.

Yao Family wanted to tell him not to be nervous, but she felt that she would be the same in his shoes.

Zhen Ping lifted the thick curtain and let Yao Family in first. Yao Family bent her body slightly and walked under the curtain he had lifted.

This was the first time in a decade that the two were so close to each other. Zhen Ping could smell her scent, but he was determined not to let his feelings show. He made an effort to stand tall, not touching her.

After Yao Family entered the room, he also went in.

The room was filled with a strong scent of medicine.

She had a stroke at the beginning of the year, and lying for so long, it was easy for bad smells to accumulate in the room, yet there was none in the room. It showed that the couple cared for the old woman thoroughly.
