Chapter 174

The distance from Yiyang Town to Gu Family Village wasn't actually far, but it felt exceptionally long to them.

"We'll reach the village entrance after walking a bit further," Doctor Ming said, noticing their anxious yet eager expressions.

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.

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!
