Gu Baishuang chatted with her son about family matters.
Tong Huaqiong went to find her inexpensive son, Gu Jingzhe.
She was too tired yesterday to have a word with Gu Jingzhe.
Tong Huaqiong, as usual, first admonished Gu Jingzhe to be more tolerant of Lu Zhaozhao, as it was indeed hard for a pregnant woman carrying a child.
Gu Jingzhe went to study at the Imperial College during the day, and at night he accompanied Lu Zhaozhao, making sure to massage her feet and calves daily to alleviate the discomfort of pregnancy. After all this, he lit a lamp to read and prepared for the next year's imperial exams.
Honestly, it was exhausting.
But Gu Jingzhe found joy amidst the hardship.
When he heard Tong Huaqiong's admonishments, he didn't boast of his deeds, but instead listened respectfully to her instructions.
Tong Huaqiong scrutinized Gu Jingzhe carefully.
Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Gu Jingzhe asked, "Mother, is there something on my face?"
