Chapter 2025: Chapter 2027: Mother and Son Meet as Strangers

The group entered the courtyard.

Guests were visiting, so they couldn’t be neglected. Old Yang quickly asked his two daughters-in-law to prepare dinner.

Xiaoyao was naturally a sociable person, with a sweet mouth. After entering the house, it didn’t take long for her to make Old Yang and Yang Ming’s mother laugh happily.

Xiaoxiao knew Xiaoyao was someone who knew her limits, so she didn’t worry about her. Together with Yang Ming, she moved her belongings from the carriage into her own room, and then she brought the gifts they bought for everyone into the main house hall.

As soon as she entered the room, she heard Xiaoyao’s voice, "Xiaoxiao, your son is really cute."

Xiaoxiao looked over and saw Little Liufu sitting on Xiaoyao’s lap, the two of them seemed to be having a great time.

Her heart tinged with a bit of pain; she hadn’t told Xiaoyao that Little Liufu had come out of her own belly. She thought since Xiaoyao wanted to return to the modern era, it was better not to tell her, to prevent any reluctance.

After all, Xiaoyao was fond of children by nature, even though this body wasn’t her original one, when she came, she experienced the pain of pregnancy and childbirth. That familial bond, if known, would be hard to let go of.

Xiaoxiao just smiled without replying, and she heard Xiaoyao continuing to play with the child.

"Call me Aunt and let me hear."

"Aunt..."

"Hahaha, he called me Aunt!"

Children have such magic; with them around, the room is unexpectedly filled with laughter and joy, much better than adults’ awkward chat.

It was already told to the family when entering the courtyard that Xiaoyao was a woman, so everyone knew she was female.

"Nickname Little Liufu, what’s the formal name?" Xiaoyao asked while playing with the child.

Yang Ming’s mother responded from the side, "His formal name is Yang Zhongbao."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao’s eyes brightened and looked at Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao smirked, starting to distribute gifts to the family. She knew what Xiaoyao was thinking, surely she would say the name she chose was too lowbrow, but wasn’t she the one who picked it?

Ignoring Xiaoyao’s disdainful glance, she took out a jewelry box while walking towards Yang Ming’s mother, "Mother, I bought this for you in the Capital City, please try it on."

Seeing it was a jewelry box, Yang Ming’s mother hadn’t even looked inside before saying, "Third daughter-in-law, I’m too old to wear this stuff. Besides, I already have a silver hairpin. Keep it for yourself."

Before she could finish, Xiaoyao chimed in, "Ma’am, your daughter-in-law is truly filial. This is gold! Our dynasty’s jewelry is all silver, and gold is very expensive. You’re really fortunate."

Xiaoyao endorsed from the sideline, thinking Xiaoxiao was really generous, being so good to her mother-in-law.

Yang Ming’s mother was extremely surprised upon hearing this, she looked inside the jewelry box. It was glittering with a pair of earrings, a gold nugget, and a gold bracelet.

Seeing these, Yang Ming’s mother gasped, thinking how much Silver this must be worth.

Hurriedly pushing the jewelry box away, "Oh dear, this is too expensive. I can’t wear it. If it gets lost, quickly put it away."

This was originally bought for her mother-in-law, so how could Xiaoxiao take it back? She took out the jewelry, "Mother, this isn’t just purchased by me, everyone in the family has a share. If you don’t believe me, ask Boss and Xiaoliu, they all contributed Silver."

The eldest and second son sitting nearby quickly said, "Yes, Mother, quickly wear it. It’s everyone’s respect for you."
