Chapter 174
Hearing this, Lady Qian nodded, tightly gripping Luo Juan\'s hand.
A little while later, they finally arrived at the entrance of Gu Family Village.
However, as it was currently the busy farming season and time for fieldwork, few villagers noticed their arrival.
"Keep going forward, walk to the end of the village, and you\'ll see the residence there," Doctor Ming leaned out, directing the carriage driver.
Lady Qian clutched her handkerchief tightly, anticipating the upcoming meeting while feeling nervous.
Seeing this, Luo Juan patted her hand. "Don\'t worry."
If his palm hadn\'t been so sweaty, his words might have been more comforting.
"Father?" Luo Shiyan instinctively hugged his son closer, causing Little Zhen Heng to look bewildered.
Ever since his father had taken him from his mother\'s arms earlier, he\'d endured quite a bit of squeezing. Now, the embrace was so tight he could barely breathe.
Hearing his son\'s call, Luo Shiyan glanced down at him and silently loosened his grip.
"Stop calling out so much," he said, somewhat accusatorily.
Little Zhen Heng: ".........."
Ling Yun: ".........."
...The village wasn\'t large, and in no time at all, they arrived at the Gu Residence.
"Master, My Lady, this is the Gu family home," Doctor Ming said after being the first to alight from the carriage.
Lady Qian nodded as she gazed at the residence before her, her heart pounding.
The Luo family father and sons behind her felt the same way. Ling Yun and Little Zhen Heng, who had accompanied them on this journey, were also aware of the situation and couldn\'t help feeling nervous.
"Father, is Aunt inside?" Little Zhen Heng asked softly, tugging on Luo Shiyan\'s hand.
"Mm," Luo Shiyan nodded, holding his hand as they followed Lady Qian and the others inside.
...At that moment, Luo Ge was taking a stroll in the courtyard, accompanied by Gu Jinchen.
"My Lady, Doctor Ming has returned with guests," Qiu Niang informed them.
Luo Ge paused, puzzled. "Guests?"
Guests brought by Doctor Ming?
The Princess Consort and her party had left not long ago, so it couldn\'t be them. She hadn\'t heard of Doctor Ming having any friends here, so Luo Ge was quite confused.
Seeing this, Gu Jinchen reached out to support her. "Shall we go out and take a look?"
"Alright." As the host, it wouldn\'t be proper to refuse to see guests.
But before they could go out, Doctor Ming had already led the visitors in.
As their eyes met, Luo Ge and Lady Qian were visibly stunned for a moment.
Gu Jinchen instinctively glanced at Luo Ge, then looked at Lady Qian.
Time had not diminished beauty; even though Lady Qian was now in her forties, her appearance showed no signs of aging.
Her every gesture exuded the grace of a mature woman.
Now, as she and Luo Ge stood in the same place, their similar features were apparent from afar.
Looking at their resemblance, one could easily mistake them for sisters.
Luo Juan and the others had never imagined that the two women would look so alike.
The moment they saw Luo Ge, they were certain – she was Nuo Nuo!
