Chapter 1918: Chapter 1920: Mother-in-law Examines Her Son-in-law

"It’s fine!"

Yang Qiu just tossed that back, then went on working.

She figured her mother probably hadn’t seen anything, so she’d better not bring it up. If she did, her mother would start asking this and that, overthinking it, and it wouldn’t be good if she ended up causing trouble for Wang Kui.

But the less Yang Qiu wanted to talk, the more Yang Ming’s mother’s thoughts went astray. She was sure there had to be something going on, maybe her girl was just too embarrassed to say.

Since her daughter was embarrassed, this was exactly when a mother had to step in. For her daughter’s lifelong happiness, she’d just have to put this old face on the line.

So she thought, she’d find a chance later to go over to the Xuntian Escort Agency and take a look.

She worked in the shop for a while, then finally found a moment and told her son and daughter she was going to stroll around the market and buy some vegetables, and slipped out like that.

Once outside, she didn’t go straight to the market, but first asked around for directions to the Xuntian Escort Agency.

It took her most of an hour to finally find the Xuntian Escort Agency.

This was actually her first time coming to the Xuntian Escort Agency. From the outside, there really wasn’t anything impressive about it; it was a bit hard to find, and the building was rather shabby.

The main gate stood open, and she stuck her head in for a look.

The people inside the Xuntian Escort Agency noticed Yang Ming’s mother, walked over to the entrance, and recognized her. "Auntie, you’re our Shopkeeper’s mother, right?"

"Ah!" Yang Ming’s mother answered, a bit timid.

"Auntie, are you looking for our Shopkeeper? Our Shopkeeper is at the academy right now. If he comes over, it’ll be in the evening." One of the escort brothers said, then turned toward the courtyard and called, "Head Escort Master Wang, the Shopkeeper’s mother is here!"

After he shouted, he turned back to Yang Ming’s mother and said, "Auntie, don’t just stand at the gate. Come into the yard, have a look at our Escort Agency, and take a rest while you’re here."

"Thank you, young man." Yang Ming’s mother agreed and walked inside.

Since it was her first time here, it didn’t hurt to look around.

Right then, Wang Kui was in his room. Ever since running into Yang Qiu when she came back, his mood had been low, so he’d stayed inside. He hadn’t expected Yang Qiu’s mother to show up; surprised, he came out of the room.

Seeing Yang Ming’s mother, he greeted her, "Auntie."

Yang Ming’s mother nodded. "You’re Wang Kui?"

Those words made Wang Kui’s heart sink. Could it be that Yang Qiu’s mother had come to settle accounts with him?

With his tall build, an awkwardness that didn’t quite fit his face showed there. He gave a slight nod. "Yes, Auntie, that’s me."

The brothers in the courtyard all had the same crooked idea as Wang Kui. They thought Yang Ming’s mother had come to confront him. After all, the rumors outside were pretty wild. So one by one, they tactfully drifted off.

As they left, they even threw Wang Kui a look that said "take care."

How could Wang Kui not see what his brothers meant? He immediately shot them a look meant to intimidate all directions, then realized he’d done it right in front of Yang Ming’s mother, and hurriedly spoke, embarrassed, "Auntie, please, come inside."

Then he gestured with his hand, inviting Yang Ming’s mother to go in.

Yang Ming’s mother followed Wang Kui into the room.

Once inside, Yang Ming’s mother didn’t say anything. She just sat there, watching Wang Kui’s movements.

From the moment she came until now, she’d been observing this man called Wang Kui. He really was just like her third son’s wife had said: big and burly, with decent looks, and from his appearance alone he seemed like the type who acted fast and decisively, saying one thing and meaning it. Yet just now, when he saw her, he’d been quite respectful.
