Chapter 562: Yundong and Her Father Are Back
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The courtyard of the Shao family, which had been quiet for a few days, was bustling with activity.
Not only was Shao Qingyuan back, but Ah Mao and the other three were also standing in the courtyard, checking on their prey. It seemed like they had gained a lot from this trip.
Seeing Madam Dong enter, Shao Qingyuan handed her two pheasants. “Auntie, take them back to eat.”
However, Madam Dong couldn’t be bothered to take the two pheasants. She quickly said, “Qingyuan, you’re finally back. We were so worried for so many days this time. Let me tell you, Yundong is home.”
Shao Qingyuan’s eyes lit up. He stuffed the pheasants into Ah Mao’s hand and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, before he could take a step, Madam Dong grabbed him. “Hey, don’t be hasty. I haven’t finished speaking.”
Shao Qingyuan frowned.
Madam Dong lowered her voice slightly. “Not only is Yundong back, but her father is also back.”
Shao Qingyuan paused and asked uncertainly, “Her father… You’re saying that Uncle Gu has been found?”
“Isn’t that so? We’ve all seen him. I heard from Yundong that she met him at Wanqing Prefecture. His father hasn’t given up on looking for them for so long. Now, the family has finally reunited.” Madam Dong sighed. “You’re the future son-in-law of the Gu family now. This is the first time you’ll see your future father-in-law. How can you look like this? You have to leave a good impression on him, right?”
Shao Qingyuan had just returned from the deep mountains and was still sweating. Not only were his clothes wet, but they were also tattered. His hair was like a hen’s nest. He had definitely not taken a shower in the past few days.
Gu Dajiang was a scholar. He would definitely be dissatisfied if Shao Qingyuan appeared in front of him like this.
Madam Dong knew that Shao Qingyuan didn’t look pretty every time he returned from the mountains, so she quickly came over to remind him.
Shao Qingyuan looked down and nodded. “I’ll go clean up.”
He turned around to get a set of clothes and went straight to the bathroom.
Madam Dong heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the prey in the courtyard.
Although they had been in the mountain for a long time and there was a lot of small prey, she did not see any big guys.
However, there seemed to be two large boxes of herbs in the corner. Did Qingyuan pick them?
Madam Dong was still looking when Ah Mao and the others surrounded her. “Auntie Dong, has Miss’s father really been found? Have you seen him? What kind of person is he?”
“Needless to say, just by looking at the girl, you should know that her father is definitely not bad-looking.”
“Who asked about his appearance? I’m asking about his temperament. Do you know his temperament? If our young master wants to see his father-in-law, shouldn’t we ask around first?”
Madam Dong’s ears were buzzing as she listened to their conversation. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “I didn’t talk much to her father either. How would I know what kind of personality he has? However, her father should be someone who values family and friends. I heard that when he was in Wanqing Prefecture, he would rather not eat or drink in order to save money just to find Yundong and the others. My husband did talk to him. He said that although he’s a scholar, he doesn’t look down on us bumpkins. He’s a person who’s easy to get along with and doesn’t put on any airs.”
When Ah Mao and the other three heard this, they immediately smiled. “Then I’m relieved. Uncle Gu will definitely be satisfied with our Young Master’s character.”
“That’s right. Our Young Master is responsible, loyal, and earns lots of money. Most importantly, he listens to Miss. There’s nothing to be picky about. If he misses this son-in-law, how can he find a better one?”
