Outside the house, seeing Daohua and her son reconciling, Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang both sighed in relief.
Xiao Yeyang noticed that it had gotten dark, so he helped Gu Jian back to Nanshan Hall.
Daohua had dinner with Daozi, tucked him into bed, and then returned to the main courtyard.
In Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Yeyang was sitting in front of the rocking crib, gently swaying it to lull the twins to sleep. Seeing Daohua enter, he made a motion to be quiet.
Daohua immediately lightened her steps, walked over to check on the two sleeping children, adjusted their blankets, and then left with Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang saw the exhaustion on Daohua's face, pulled her down to sit on a round-backed armchair, and stood behind her to massage her shoulders: "Is Daozi asleep?"
