Chapter 805: Under the Thumb

Because they had to attend the family banquet at the Duke Residence on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang took a carriage back to the city, while the Prince stayed behind, planning to return with the old Prince on New Year's Eve.

Early on the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the Duke Residence began bustling with activity, but the Guo Family did not celebrate lavishly—it was merely a gathering of Guo Clan members for a meal.

Early on, Guo Ruomei anxiously waited: "What do you think, will Yeyang and Yiyi come?"

Mei Shuang smiled, "My lord, didn't the young Madam reply that she would come? Just relax and wait to have tea with your daughter-in-law."

The anxious expression on Guo Ruomei's face eased slightly, and she continued, "Quick, get the gift I've prepared for Yiyi so I don't forget later."

Mei Shuang immediately retrieved a pair of sparkling, translucent Hetian Yellow Jade bracelets from the dressing table's box.
