Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 1381 Liu Yuanbo

Yu Die spoke in more detail than the shop’s introduction, attracting quite a few young ladies who were selecting jewelry. After she finished her explanation and looked up, she was surprised by how many people had gathered.

Shang Qing was also stunned, and several young ladies felt embarrassed and stepped back a few paces.

Among them, Miss Luo was the eldest, already of marriageable age. "Just now I didn’t know which gemstones to choose. I never realized they held so many anings. I thank you for your explanation," she said.

Yu Die felt embarrassed, "I also heard it from others, so of these anings may not be taken literally; they’re just for good luck."

Miss Luo blinked, "Still, I must thank you. It’s thanks to your introduction that I now know what’s more appropriate to choose."

This ti, Yu Die graciously accepted the thanks, "You’re welco."

Wen Rong had been upstairs for a while, accompanying his sister Wen Ling. He had promised his sister that if he scored as top scholar, he would buy her jewelry. After becoming top scholar, he was busy with social engagents and couldn’t fall behind in his studies, so only today did he find ti to accompany his sister.

Wen Ling tugged at her fourth brother’s sleeve, "Fourth Brother, did you see Miss Luo? She’s the lady our family wants you to et for marriage."

Wen Rong’s attention had been on Zhou Yu Die all this ti, only then did he turn his gaze to Miss Luo. In terms of beauty, Miss Luo was more outstanding than Miss Zhou, but when it ca to vivacity and liveliness, Miss Zhou was the clear winner.

Wen Ling whispered, "Fourth Brother, mother says Miss Luo is the epito of a lady from a prominent family and she wants to learn from her!"

Wen Rong’s mouth twitched slightly. He had seen Miss Luo’s smile too often; he closed his eyes, knowing that there was no possibility of marriage between the Wen and Zhou families, as the Zhou family was there to keep the Wen family in check; the Emperor would not allow the two families to unite in marriage.

Wen Rong was silent for a long while, causing Wen Ling to look at him with confusion, "Fourth Brother?"

Wen Rong signaled, "It’s getting late; I still have to go back and study. You quickly pick what you like, so we can return ho."

Wen Ling still wanted to find fault with Zhou Yu Die, but hearing what her brother said, she didn’t dare to waste ti as her brother was going to take part in the imperial examination, "Alright, I’ll go choose now."

Yu Die had already helped Miss Luo select suitable gemstones, and Miss Luo thanked her again before leaving.

Shang Qing held Yu Die’s hand, "Yu Die, you’re really good at this."

Yu Xi, "If you learn more and rember, you can be like too."

It was quite a coincidence today; Sir Liu’s second son was dragged here by his mother, and he saw Miss Zhou as soon as he went upstairs.

Sir Liu’s second son’s mother had already noticed her son’s unusual behavior, "Do you know that young lady in red ahead?"

Officer Liu’s second son, with the tips of his ears slightly red, lowered his voice, "Mother, don’t you know her?"

Lady Gu’s eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing her son’s ears turn red, "I truly don’t recognize her,"

She wasn’t at the age where her vision was blurred, and she didn’t recognize people. She had been observing the girl in red for a while, but she genuinely did not recognize her.

Officer Liu’s second son, "You really don’t recognize her?"

Since mother learned that Miss Zhou from the Zhou family was generous, she has been praising Miss Zhou to him ever since the end of last year; the house is full of her praise; it would be hard for him not to rember, otherwise how could he have recognized Miss Zhou at first sight!

Lady Gu was quick to react, her eyes widening, "The Ministry of Rites, the second daughter of Deputy Minister of Rites Zhou?"

Officer Liu’s second son, Liu Yuanbo, nodded, "That’s right, it’s her."

Lady Gu pushed her son away and hurried over. She had finally caught the chance today; her husband had always prevented her from making contact with Deputy Minister of Rites Zhou’s wife. Today, she was lucky to have t Zhou Yu Die directly when going out.

Officer Liu’s second son was dumbfounded, his attempt to reach out and grab his mother was too slow, he could only watch as his mother rushed towards Miss Zhou. He felt like covering his head, his ears burning intensely.

Lady Gu intercepted Zhou Yudie as she was about to leave, "Miss, I’ve been listening nearby for quite a while, can you help choose a gemstone that suits ?"

Perceiving kindness, Yudie cheerfully agreed, "Of course, I can."

Lady Gu pointed to the gemstones, "Money is not an issue, help choose the best quality ones, thank you for your hard work."

Yes, she wanted to show the Miss Zhou through her actions that the Liu family really does have wealth, an extraordinarily solid foundation!

Yudie was taken aback for a few seconds, then beca delighted; she liked generous people, "Okay."

Officer Liu’s second son watched his mother chatting happily with Miss Zhou, and then saw her instructing the shop assistant to wrap up gemstones one by one. He felt a twinge in his heart. He did not step forward to stop his mother; it was his father’s wealth that she was spending, and his father was willing to indulge her.

Zhulan ca out and was stunned. Who was the woman beside Yudie? How co they were talking so amicably?

On seeing her grandmother co out of the private room, Yudie greeted, "Grandma."

Zhulan responded, asking, "Who is this lady?"

Lady Gu had t Madam Yang before but had not interacted with her; she thought Yudie ca with her mother and did not realize she was Madam Yang, "I’ve t the old madam before. I am Lady Gu, my husband is a deputy minister in the Ministry of Rites, and he is a colleague of your second son."

Zhulan realized who she was; recently, Chang Yi and his wife had shown renewed interest in the Liu family, and Zhao’s had even mimicked Sir Liu’s words to her. She was quite intrigued by Sir Liu’s wife and had not expected to et her today, "I know Officer Liu. Chang Yi often ntions Sir Liu."

Lady Gu felt a bit embarrassed. Her own son’s disposition was really unpleasing. Before she got married, her family also had many prejudices against her husband. Thinking of her son, Lady Gu turned and waved him over, "I am buying jewelry, and my son accompanied . Yuan Bo, co et the old madam."

Liu Yuanbo’s mind was a bit slow, but good upbringing made him react quickly, and he stepped forward in a few strides, "This young man pays respects to the old madam."

Zhulan mused that appearances can be deceiving; Officer Liu’s second son was really handso. Looking at his face, who would think he had such a stingy nature, "The young master is truly a person of impressive appearance."

Lady Gu said, "That’s pretty much all this kid has going for him."

Liu Yuanbo, "...."

So this was his own mother, who scorned him imnsely because he took after his father’s nature!

The smile in Zhulan’s eyes grew even deeper; this palpable sense of disdain was very real—Sir Liu’s wife truly despised her own son.

Yudie rembered who the young master in front of her was, and her upbringing didn’t allow her to exclaim out loud, so she could only covertly observe Officer Liu’s son.

Officer Liu’s second son’s ears turned red again, and he awkwardly turned his head away.

Wen Rong stood at a distance, silently watching; Wen Ling had already chosen her jewelry, "Fourth Brother, let’s head back."

Wen Rong humd in acknowledgent and turned to descend the stairs.

Wen Ling sensed her fourth brother’s impatience, dared not to speak, and hurriedly followed. Her fourth brother’s thoughts were becoming more and more inscrutable, and she felt fear in his presence.

Zhulan had a good exchange with Lady Gu. Her several probing attempts had all been satisfactory; Lady Gu’s rare good temper did not escape Zhulan’s experienced eyes. She thought of ntioning Lady Gu to her daughter-in-law when she got ho.

Lady Gu was also happy. She had made connections with the Zhou family today. Once back in the carriage, she examined her son up and down.

Liu Yuanbo felt very uncomfortable under his mother’s scrutiny, "Mother, why are you looking at your son like that?"

"I’ve noticed you blushing several tis today. At ho, you’d rather go on a hunger strike in protest, but today, you’re behaving out of character," she remarked.
