As soon as the nephew saw him, he ran over and said, "Aunt, Aunt, Aunt~"

Stop in front of her and stretch out your hand, "Auntie, hug me~"

Looking at the fair and tender little nephew in front of her, with a few dimples on his face when he smiled, He Yunxi felt that her heart was about to melt by him.

She picked up the little guy and walked over.

"Mother, sister-in-law."

"Did you have a good rest?" Mrs. He had been observing the girl's face since she came in. Seeing that she did not look very bad, she suddenly felt relieved.

He Yunxi teased his nephew and replied with a smile: "Very good."

After playing with her cute little nephew for a while, she felt that her worries had dissipated a lot.

Should spend more time with him.

After dinner, He Yunxi was about to return to his own courtyard when he was stopped by Mrs. He.

"Yunxi, wait a minute. Mother will take you back to the yard. You ate a little too much just now, so this is a good time to digest the food."

"it is good."

The mother and daughter walked side by side, and the maid followed from a distance behind them at the signal of Mrs. He.

After walking for a while, Mrs. He suddenly asked, "I heard that you went out this morning. Where did you go?"

"I went to Yuelai Inn."

"Are you alone?" Madam He asked casually, and then said, "Today your sister-in-law told me that she wanted to go to Yuelai Inn for dinner! If we had known you were going today, we would have gone with you."

Just as she said "hmm", she quickly changed her words and said, "No, I went there with my friends."

He Yunxi's heart was beating fast as Mrs. He spoke. She didn't know what Mrs. He would ask next, nor did she know how to answer.

Mrs. He sensed her daughter's nervousness and changed the subject at the right time.

"Oh, by the way, when I came to see you today, I heard that your throat was uncomfortable. Are you sick?"

"No, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well these days. Isn't it better now?"

"That's good. Although it's the beginning of spring, the weather is still cold. You still have to take care of yourself."

"Mother, I know."

Before they knew it, the mother and daughter had arrived at He Yunxi's yard.

"Mom, come in and sit down!"

Although she didn't want her mother to know her thoughts, she wanted her mother to be with her now.

Mrs. He nodded and went into the yard with her.

Seeing the sadness on her daughter's face, she turned to the maids in the room and said, "All of you go down and close the door."

Originally, she was going to wait for her daughter to tell her herself, but she didn't expect that the usually lively and naughty little girl would be so timid in terms of emotions.

She was afraid that if she waited any longer, her daughter would torture herself and become depressed.

After the servants left, she held He Yunxi's hand, looked at her and asked, "Xi'er, I noticed that something is wrong with you these days. Do you have someone you like?"

The originally calm person suddenly widened his eyes, looked away uncomfortably, and denied: "...I didn't."

She felt that her mother's gaze could see into people's hearts, and she was afraid that she would be exposed if she continued to look at her.

Madam He looked at her quietly and said with a smile, "You are my daughter. How can I not understand you? I have noticed your abnormal behavior these days."

"Why, now that you've grown up, you don't want to tell mom what's in your heart anymore?"

Upon hearing this, He Yunxi immediately became anxious, "Mom, I don't have that."

When she met Mrs. He's eyes that seemed to see through everything, her high spirits suddenly sank, and her lips moved, "Mom, I... I have someone I like."

If the room wasn't quiet enough, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hear her voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, her ears began to heat up and the blush instantly spread to her entire face.

Mrs. He knew her daughter was shy, so she didn't tease her. She asked softly, "Is it because of the person you like that you're in a bad mood because you didn't go to pay New Year's greetings recently?"

"Ah."

"Are you afraid that he doesn't like you?"

"Yeah." As soon as she finished speaking, she said with a look of disappointment: "It's not that I'm afraid that he doesn't like me, but that he doesn't like me in the first place."

Her heart was as confused as a ball of wool that had been scratched by a cat, and her nose felt sore and she almost cried.

"How do you know he doesn't like you?"

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. He couldn't help but guess that her daughter had made her feelings clear when they met today, but Nan Yu refused.

But her daughter's next words made her laugh and cry.

“I saw that from his performance.”

Mrs. He: ...

She looked at He Yunxi with an indescribable expression.

What can she tell from a person's behavior when she is so carefree?

"Then tell me how you can tell from his behavior that he doesn't like you?"

"he……"

He Yunxi told Mrs. He what happened between him and Nan Yu today.

After hearing this, Mrs. He closed her mouth and didn't want to talk. She looked at the man opposite her with a frown that could kill a fly, and didn't know what to say.

Thinking about her back then...

Alas, it’s all in the past, let’s not mention it anymore.

But why is the daughter she gave birth to so innocent?

Is it because of my husband's personality?

Wasn’t it that what happened today was because the other person had feelings for her and asked about it?

It's just that she didn't answer, which made Nan Yu mistakenly think that she didn't like him and was just trying to find an excuse. She believed it and foolishly thought that Nan Yu didn't like her.

If she had answered Nan Yu's question honestly today, perhaps she would have an excellent prospective son-in-law now.

However, she was also shocked that Nan Yu liked her own daughter.

She was extremely satisfied with Nan Yu. Not to mention his family background, his personality and abilities were likable and admirable.

If her daughter could marry him, she wouldn't have to worry about Nan Yu having three wives and four concubines who would bully her daughter and make her sad.

She suggested, "Xi'er, what you said is just your guess. You didn't hear him clearly say that he doesn't like you. I think you should tell him clearly and express your feelings to him, so that you won't have any regrets."

"But mom, doesn't it mean he doesn't like me when he jokes like that?" He Yunxi felt that he was implying that he didn't like her.

If she made it clear, then if he didn't like her, wouldn't he have no hope at all?

"Anyway, even though I've been through this before, I didn't hear it."

My mother has experienced a lot and must know more than I do. Even she said so, so am I just overthinking it?

Confusion appeared on her face.

Mrs. He poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip without saying anything, letting her think on her own.

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said firmly, "Mom, you are right. I should ask him clearly."

Otherwise, if you miss something because of your guesswork, wouldn’t you regret it for the rest of your life?

After asking clearly, if he really doesn't like her, he can give up completely.
