Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 1341: 1341 Daughter's Thoughts

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1341 Daughter’s Thoughts

Yu Wen was the second to co down, instantly invigorated, “Who is it?”

Yu Yi was the last one to co down, by which ti Miss Lin had already approached the carriage. They hadn’t interacted much, only exchanging a few words.

Miss Lin was the first to speak, “Have you also co to buy books?”

Yu Die couldn’t help but glance at her brother with peripheral vision, finding it odd—the first ti soone didn’t keep their eyes fixed on her brother, “Yes, we ca to look around the bookstore. Have you finished your purchases, Miss Lin?”

Miss Lin, holding a book, replied, “Yes, I’ve found what I wanted. I won’t disturb you all any longer.”

After Miss Lin left, Yu Die excitedly pulled Yu Yi along, “Fourth sister, Miss Lin really didn’t look at brother at all!”

Yu Yi too found it surprising, “Indeed, usually when Ming Rui brother is around, they would look at Ming Rui brother first.”

Ming Rui, feeling helpless, said, “You bunch, I’m not Silver that everyone likes upon seeing . It’s quite normal for soone not to like .”

At this mont, Yu Wen was wide awake, “This Miss Lin is either trying to get brother’s attention, or she just doesn’t dare to look at him.”

Yu Die looked over, “What do you an by that?”

Yu Wen elaborated, “Normally, it’s typical for soone to glance at Ming Rui. Completely ignoring him is not right. Hehe, I bet Miss Lin is the latter category. Co on, who wants to bet?”

Yu Jiao raised her hand, “I do, I bet that fifth sister is right.”

Yu Yi realized that Yu Wen was correct and couldn’t help but laugh at Ming Rui brother, then said, “Who’s going to bet with you? Don’t think about winning our Silver. Let’s not stand outside anymore; it’s strangely hot outside.”

In the Lin family’s carriage, Miss Lin covered her eyes with a handkerchief, “Ah, I almost embarrassed myself.”

Just now, she had almost let her stomach growl from hunger. Yes, she was on a diet.

She had seen the Zhou family’s young master, not just once. Duke Zhou looked really good, and she nearly made a fool of herself in front of Duke Zhou. How could she dare to look at him? All she could think about was getting away quickly.

The maid took out so fruit from the carriage’s box, “Miss, have a bite or two.”

Miss Lin looked at the fruit, resisted for a mont, and then waved her hand, “No, I’ve been holding out for so long already.”

The maid was puzzled, “Miss, why are you suddenly dieting? You didn’t care before, right? And our young mistress has been slim ever since she grew up, never had any ‘incidents.’ Why are you dieting?”

Miss Lin huffed, “Mind your own business, I think being overweight makes one hotter in the sumr.”

The maid didn’t believe it; Miss Lin started dieting after returning from the Shang family’s place. Thinking of Ms. Shang, the maid pursed her lips; their own miss was better.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan did not expect the old Mistress from the Shang family to co personally, and evidently, the old Mistress had not expected the Chief of Staff to be there.

Zhou Shuren was very polite to the old Mistress, “Old Mistress.”

The old Mistress was taken aback; with the Grand Master of Writing present, she suddenly didn’t know how to start the conversation.

Zhou Shuren realized and stood up, “I will spend so ti in the study.”

Zhulan nodded, “Alright.”

The old Mistress looked sowhat dazedly at the rocking chair and the books nearby. Her relationship with her husband was good, but her husband spent most of his ti in the study, rarely keeping her company, “They say that Chief of Staff Zhou is fond of his wife, and today I see it is indeed true.”

Zhulan wasn’t embarrassed, “My husband and I have weathered many storms together; now that we’ve grown old, we cherish every mont even more.”

These words were true. In the past two years, Zhou Shuren would always stay by her side during his days off. After becoming the Chief of Staff, except for a few people he must see, he never t anyone else during his rest days. He would always stay in the main courtyard, even if just sitting silently beside her, it was comforting.

The old Mistress was moved, with such parents as examples, the n of the Zhou family were naturally good, “I apologize for intruding today.”

Zhulan smiled, “The old lady must have sothing important to discuss.”

Old ladies care about their reputation, especially when the won of the Shang family have a tainted na. She wouldn’t bring up match-making again, “I’ve been away from the capital for many years and now I deeply regret it. I regret letting go and not caring about anything, regret bringing my granddaughter back. It would have been so much better to find soone locally who we knew well.”

Now that her granddaughter has returned to the capital, taking her back would greatly affect her reputation, leading everyone to wonder why she didn’t get engaged while in the capital.

Zhulan understood, “So?”

The old lady pushed the box towards Mrs. Yang, “I would like you to teach my granddaughter for a few days.”

Zhulan watched the old lady, who had aged considerably over these past few days, clearly troubled by the family affairs. With her granddaughter not being engaged, she was stuck, “You know you can’t write the character for ‘Shang’ twice. What about your other granddaughter?”

The old lady was silent for a few seconds, “Her parents are worrying about her.”

Zhulan did not inquire any further. Shang Qing was indeed a fine child, but she could not teach her, especially considering the intention to get engaged to Ming Rui, “I am very touched by the old lady’s intentions for her granddaughter, but rumors stop with the wise. I think Miss Shang should attend more banquets. The first thing to change should be oneself. People are used to forgetting, and with ti, the past scrutiny will lessen.”

Because of Chang Yi and his wife, she knew that Miss Shang hadn’t attended any invitations since the last incident. Hiding is the most inferior strategy — she’s been overprotected, lacking responsibility.

The old lady looked at the box that had been pushed back, knowing that it was a lost cause.

Zhulan added, “I always believe that enduring hardships is what makes one grow. If a child is overprotected, they lack resilience. But then again, it’s not too late now. It’s better than facing setbacks after getting married and being unable to recover.”

The old lady, “I truly am senile. Having heard your words today, I regret even more that my granddaughter cannot receive your teachings.”

As soon as the old lady left, Zhou Shuren imdiately ca back, “Why did she co?”

Zhulan explained her purpose, and Zhou Shuren touched his beard, “Ever since our granddaughter beca famous, there have actually been suggestions for you to help teach their children for a few days, but I’ve declined them all.”

Zhulan, “Is that so?”

Zhou Shuren nodded, “The Empress has ntioned several tis that you can teach children well, from Yushuang to Yu Wen. The excellence of several granddaughters is testant to your teaching ability.”

Zhulan jokingly said, “Teaching is not cheap, I could really make a fortune from this!”

Zhou Shuren, “Would I be willing to part with you? It’s so tiring.”

Zhulan said, “The old lady really brought a generous gift — precious items from the Shang family’s collection.”

Zhou Shuren raised an eyebrow, “She really does spoil her granddaughter.”

In the blink of an eye, Ming Teng had returned to the capital, and Zhulan almost didn’t recognize him, “Did you go coal mining?”

What happened to my fair grandson, how did he co back looking like charcoal?

Everyone in the room laughed, Ming Teng touched his face, “Grandma, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at a mirror.”

Chang Zhong joined in, “Are you afraid you’ll frighten yourself?”

Ming Teng glared, and seeing that it was his little uncle who retorted, he swallowed the words he had prepared to throw back, “I’ve been tricked.”

Zhulan cared not about how her grandson was tricked, but asked with concern, “You haven’t got sunburnt, have you?”

Ming Teng shook his head, “No damage, it’s just that it will take a while for my skin to recover.”

Chang Zhong squinted his eyes, there weren’t many who could trick Ming Teng, it must have been Heir of Prince Qi, Zhang Xuchen. Ever since they started following the Prince Qin Brother-in-law, the two had been inseparable. If it weren’t for Ran Xun sending letters from ti to ti, he would have forgotten there was such a person as Ran Xun.

Ming Teng, the generous head of the Zhou family, naturally had to distribute gifts upon his return, and the younger ones were overjoyed, surrounding Ming Teng and not letting him go.

In a tea house in the capital, Chang Yi had arranged to et with Hu Xia for tea, by chance, he saw Rong Enqing, and took another look at the other person. Without saying anything, Chang Yi sat down with Hu Xia at a nearby table.

Hu Xia’s eyes inquired, “You know them?”
