At the question, Gu Juexi raised his head and looked at his mother.

She was as calm and composed as she had been for the past few decades.

In a family as big and complex as the Gu family, she had no intention of forming a clique nor did she stand on any side. She chose to be on her own in her tiny s.p.a.ce of tranquility, the s.p.a.ce that no one was allowed to step foot into.

No one, not even Gu Tianmu.

Gu Juexi was the only one who was allowed in that s.p.a.ce. However, she had allowed access to someone else and it was Ye Yuwei, Ye Shu’s daughter.

“Mom—” Gu Juexi opened his mouth, his throat feeling dry.

“What is it?” Wen Jie fixed her motherly gaze on her son.

“It’s nothing. You must be tired from the journey, let me help you get some rest,” Gu Juexi suggested. He got to his feet and helped Wen Jie stand up.

Wen Jie could sense his uneasiness. It was the sixth sense of a mother for her child.

The guest room that Wen Jie stayed in was next to Master Yao Lao’s room—it was her arrangement.

Gu Juexi helped his mother sit on the chair. “Weiwei had informed Master about your condition, Master said it is treatable and she can care for you. The surroundings are very peaceful and the air is very fresh here, so why don’t you stay here for a while? There’s no rush to go back.” Gu Juexi said quietly. He did not want this matter to be a burden to the lady who had had a hard time all her life.

“This place is nice,” said Wen Jie while surveying the room. The room was furnished minimally, but it was pleasing to the eye.

“Mom, please rest well. I’m going to go check on Xixi,” Gu Juexi announced. He turned around and was about to leave.

“Juexi,” Wen Jie called suddenly, startling Gu Juexi as he turned to look at her. “Do you still remember what I told you in the ancestral hall when you were young?”
