Madam Guo saw her daughter's concern for Xiao Yeyang and wanted to learn more about this nephew herself. After a moment's thought, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Xiao Yeyang, who was on horseback, "Yeyang, you've just been in a fight and must be tired. Why don't you come and rest in our carriage for a while?"
Xiao Yeyang reflexively declined, "Thank you for your kindness, aunt, but we've already entered the city. After I escort you back to the residence, I'll have time to rest."
Madam Guo smiled, "You are much more polite than when you were little. But remember, we are family. There's no need for such formalities. Come sit in the carriage, and we can talk more intimately."
Xiao Yeyang furrowed his brows. What intimate matters could they possibly have to discuss? He refused again with a smile, "I shall visit you another time, aunt."
