Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 1340: 1340 Miss Lin of the Lin Family

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340 Miss Lin of the Lin Family

On the Zhou family’s carriage, Yu Die pouted, “Grandma, Miss Shang from the Shang family is really not up to par.”

If Shang Qing could be a bit more assertive and commanding, she might have earned so good comnts, but now she is unwilling to say more. Ming Rui is her own brother, and she wishes her sister-in-law could help her brother instead of holding him back and distracting him.

Yu Yi objectively assessed, “Miss Shang Qing can’t handle being the eldest daughter-in-law. She’s sowhat thoughtful, but still too naive. She’s been protected too well; there’s no sense of responsibility in her bones.”

If it were her, such dramas today wouldn’t have occurred; she could be the hostess.

Zhulan humd in agreent, her granddaughter’s close observations were not much different from her own, becoming astute with age, tsk tsk, her eyes really must have developed a penetrating vision like fiery golden eyes.

Seeing that her grandmother did not wish to discuss further that there was no hope for Miss nqing rchant, Yu Die’s eyes shifted, “There is indeed an interesting young lady though.”

Zhulan sounded curious, “Oh? Do tell.”

Yu Die smiled, “How should I put it? She reminds sowhat of my fifth sister, not lazy but very insightful. She seems to be the granddaughter of a close friend of Old Lady Shang. Several tis when the Shang family ladies tried to drag her down, she stopped them. Her eyes beco cold, and she really commands respect.”

Yu Yi continued, “This young lady, when seated, is difficult to ignore; just as Grandma said, her presence is particularly strong, and indeed, she has a sharp tongue.”

Zhulan beca interested; she knew her own granddaughters well. It wasn’t often that both Yu Die and Yu Yi found soone so intriguing. Clearly, this young lady was highly regarded by her granddaughters.

Zhulan thought for a mont, “How old is she?”

Yu Die said, “She’s the sa age as brother Ming Rui, the only one.”

Zhulan asked, “The only what?”

Yu Yi explained, “She’s the only one who’s a bit chubby, but she doesn’t seem to care about it.”

Zhulan chuckled, “She’s still young, it’s just baby fat.”

Her mind spun a full circle, and she already knew the young lady’s surna was Lin, her father was a Right Assistant Imperial Censor, a high fourth-rank official.

In the Palace, upon hearing the news, the Empress told her Female Officer, “I knew it couldn’t happen.”

The Female Officer comnted, “Madam Yang has high expectations for her granddaughter-in-law.”

The Empress didn’t pay much attention to this matter; if not for Old Lady Shang visiting her in the Palace, she wouldn’t have followed up, “The Zhou family’s best boys, it’s hard to tell who they will end up marrying.”

The Female Officer remarked, “Destiny is fixed by heaven, you never know when it will arrive.”

The Empress sighed internally; the Zhou family girls had a global perspective that truly moved her, it was a pity she could only look on enviously.

A few days later, the first to arrive in the capital was Yu Jiao. The young girl had hurried on her journey ho, already a delicate girl, and fell ill upon reaching the capital.

Zhulan held the dicine, “Drink this, and you will get better.”

Yu Jiao blinked her big eyes; she disliked taking dicine. If her sister had brought it, she might have coaxed her, but now it was her grandmother. Dad and mom said Grandma was the biggest authority in the ho, and her mories also made her tremble slightly as she extended her hand to finish the dicine in one gulp.

Yu Yi felt her sister was becoming more delicate, seeing her sister gag, she offered a piece of candy to her mouth.

Yu Jiao’s eyes teared up, “Sweet.”

Zhulan laughed, the girls in the house were spoilt, “Rest well for a few days, then no more dicine once you’re better.”

Yu Jiao sniffled, “Mm.”

Yu Yi glared at her sister disapprovingly, “You should just stay quietly in the room for these few days.”

Yu Jiao obediently nodded, “Mm.”

Zhulan touched her granddaughter’s forehead, pulled up the blanket, “Lie down and rest.”

Yu Jiao closed her eyes; the young girl was indeed tired from the journey and soon fell asleep.

Zhulan stood up and told Yu Yi, “Keep a closer watch, if there’s anything, send a maid to the main courtyard.”

Yu Yi nodded, “Mm.”

With Yu Jiao sick, Lady Li and others ca to visit, and when Zhulan left, Lady Li and the others followed her out.

Zhulan returned to the main courtyard, with Lady Li following her. Lady Li spoke while walking, “Mother, recently the second son of the Shang family has been inquiring about Marquis Rong’s Residence.”

Zhulan helplessly said, “We won’t be forming marital ties with the Shang family, why are you still paying attention to them?”

Lady Li felt embarrassed, “My husband is worried that Ming Rui might be sched against, so he’s been paying more attention.”

Zhulan thought to herself that both husband and wife being overly ticulous wasn’t good, it was too exhausting. If she tried to stop them, they’d only worry more, “En Qing is Mr. Hou and also at the Mariti Affairs Administration, it’s normal for the Shang family’s second son to take note.”

Lady Li, “Yes.”

That’s why the Shang family really isn’t good; if ties were ford, it would be so troubling.

Lady Li then said, “At the last banquet hosted by the Shang family, there were so unsavory rumors about the Shang family’s daughter.”

“The old madam of the Shang family must be particularly regretful.”

The easier they went then, the more regretful they are now. Regrettably, it’s too late for regrets.

Yu Jiao recovered quickly. While Zhou Shuren was on leave, the young girl got well.

Zhou Shuren lay on a rocking chair, listening to the conversations of his granddaughters in the yard, and said to his wife beside him, “The thought of the girls getting married truly unsettles .”

Having raised them so big, they will eventually belong to another family.

Zhulan, “Then shall they not marry?”

Zhou Shuren choked, “You, old lady, I’m just expressing my sentint.”

Zhulan huffed, “Lately, your sentints have been too frequent.”

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, “Watching the children grow up, it’s inevitable to have many such thoughts.”

He’s already a great-grandfather, isn’t he allowed to be sentintal?

Zhulan internally rolled her eyes, “Xue i has also prepared a painting for Yu Lu.”

Zhou Shuren stopped stroking his beard, “I never imagined Jiang Sheng would achieve what he has today.”

Their son-in-law’s paintings are truly valuable. He sends one or two each year, which Zhou Shuren carefully keeps. They are all silver!

Zhulan couldn’t hear her granddaughters’ voices and asked Qing Xue, “Where have they gone?”

Qing Xue replied, “Yu Die and the other young ladies went out as they knew that Master Ming Rui was heading out.”

Zhulan, “It must be Yu Jiao wanting to go out for a look.”

Zhou Shuren lay back down, “Such hot weather to go out is really suffering.”

While speaking, his glance landed on his wife, and his hand stretched out towards the chilled waterlon, then he was slapped.

Zhulan glared at him, “Don’t you have any sense about your own stomach and intestines?”

Zhou Shuren withdrew his hand feeling aggrieved, his wife really hit hard, “I do have sense, I do.”

On the streets of the capital, Yu Jiao pulled the curtain of the carriage, “The capital is indeed prosperous.”

Yu Die, “They say the south is even more prosperous.”

Yu Jiao pouted, “That depends on the place. Not all states in the south are prosperous; so places are extrely poor.”

Yu Die said enviously, “I’ve never left the capital.”

Yu Jiao waved her hand, “How wonderful the capital is.”

She liked to stay in bustling places, lively and fun.

Yu Yi, supporting the drowsy Yu Wen, pinched Yu Wen’s face a couple of tis, sighing. She really didn’t want to co out, but since her second sister didn’t co, she had to keep an eye out. Now with Yu Jiao around, it’s really vexing.

When the carriage arrived at the bookstore, Ming Rui was the first to get off, waiting for his sisters to get down.

Yu Die was the first to get down from the carriage, saw a person walking out of the bookstore, and exclaid in surprise, then she rembered, “It’s her!”
