Chapter 1168: Chapter 991, The Right Decision

Daozi is not shy around strangers, and seems to rather like Xiao Moreng. freewёbnoνel.com

After Xiao Moreng paid a visit to Gu Jian and during breakfast, Daozi was especially enthusiastic towards him, making Xiao Moreng feel a bit embarrassed.

"Fourth brother, try this bean curd skin bun, it’s really delicious."

"And this Bijing porridge, it’s so fragrant."

"Have a tea egg as well, you can’t get these outside."

"Right, have some milk too, you need to nourish your body well. Look at me, I’ve grown so strong and sturdy, our ancestor really likes me."

Daozi patted his chest, his eyes sparkling brightly, looking at Gu Jian with a hopeful face, waiting for his praise.

Gu Jian smiled warmly and nodded, using the serving chopsticks to pick up a shrimp dumpling for Xiao Moreng: "Daozi is right, a boy should have a strong body."

Xiao Moreng has quite an appetite, but this morning he truly felt stuffed. Watching his little cousin constantly putting more food into his bowl, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

Thankfully, his aunt came to his rescue.

Seeing her son busily buzzing around Xiao Moreng like a diligent little bee, she couldn’t help but intervene: "Enough, eat yours. Your fourth brother will stay with us for quite some time; there will be plenty of opportunities for you to introduce him to delicious foods."

Daozi then restrained himself, but he continued to size up Xiao Moreng while eating and occasionally let out stealthy giggles.

The adults found his behavior amusing.

As Gu Jian put food into Daozi’s bowl, he asked with a laugh, "Do you really like your fourth brother that much?"

Daozi: "Of course, fourth brother said he’ll watch over me in the future. Even Niudan brags about having three older brothers, strutting around Daoxiang Village like a crab, walking sideways everywhere. Now that I have a brother too, naturally, I am happy."

Daohua chuckled and shook her head, looking at Xiao Moreng: "Daozi can be quite the handful. If he ever bothers you, just come and tell me, and I’ll set him straight."

Xiao Moreng smiled and said: "Younger cousin is very lively, I think that’s quite good."

This sentiment was no mere courtesy. Having met with the Duke this morning and finding him to be very kindly, Xiao Moreng completely set his mind at ease.

After all, the residence of the fourth Prince has no designs on the Duke’s title, and so he doesn’t feel any pressure. All he has to do is to fulfill his own duties.

After breakfast, Xiao Yeyang went to the Governor’s Office, and Daohua also had matters to attend within the Prince Residence. Soon enough, Nanshan Hall was left with only Gu Jian, Daozi, and Xiao Moreng.

"Come on, fourth brother, let’s take a stroll with our ancestor," said Daozi.

Gu Jian stood up with a smile. Although neither Yeyang nor Daohua had said much, he was very clear about their intentions; these Princes were eyeing his title!

As for the title, he did not really care much about it, but he placed great importance on the Gu Family’s legacy.

How could he possibly casually adopt someone with ulterior motives?

The fourth Prince had sent his legitimate eldest son, who did not covet his title. For this reason, he felt a great deal of fondness for the residence of the fourth Prince.

Because of this, his attitude towards Xiao Moreng became much more affectionate.

Daozi held Gu Jian’s hand, walking briskly through the residence, and knowing Gu Jian was of advanced age and had only just recovered his health, he also thoughtfully slowed down.

"Fourth brother, isn’t our home nice? Even the officials under my father’s command get envious when they visit us," Daozi said.

Gu Jian couldn’t help but laugh: "Okay, no need to show off. Your fourth brother’s home is much more imposing than this place."

Daozi widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Moreng for confirmation: "Really?"
