"Greetings to Your Grace the Duke!"
Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang had just followed Daohua into the backyard when they bumped right into Gu Jian. Aware of Gu Jian's status, both swiftly paid their respects.
Gu Jian glanced at Guo Ruomei.
This was his first time meeting Xiaojiu's former wife. He couldn't be bothered to find out why they divorced. But Daohua was due to give birth in a little over a month, and he was quite pleased that Xiao Yeyang's birth mother could come to take care of her at this time.
Even though he was a physician, there were things he had to avoid during childbirth. The midwives at home could not compare with the reassurance brought by Xiao Yeyang's own mother.
Gu Jian 'hmm'ed and gestured for Guo Ruomei to rise, then gave Chu Lang a look-over. Without a word, he simply instructed Daohua, "Our guests have come from afar. Make sure they are treated well."
With that, he walked away.
