After chatting with Dong Lao TaiTai for a while, Madam Dong and Dong Yuanxuan excused themselves to leave.
"Go and check if your father has finished his work in the front courtyard. I can go back to the main courtyard by myself," she said.
Seeing that her son wanted to accompany her, Madam Dong smiled and declined.
They had all been busy throughout the day, not only her, but also her son and daughter.
Dong Yuanxuan did not agree but instead said, "Mother, let me accompany you for a while."
Madam Dong looked at her increasingly handsome and dashing son and smiled, nodding her head.
Along the way, noticing that her son attempted to speak several times but stopped himself, Madam Dong asked, "Xuan'er, do you have something to tell Mother?"
Dong Yuanxuan was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and looked towards Madam Dong, "Mother, I heard the conversation between you and Grandmother just now."
