Chapter 17: My daughter just doesn't like her domineering attitude
"It's not a big deal, but it's quite interesting. Mother doesn't know that after I saw this headpiece at Ruyi Pavilion, I paid for it. I didn't expect that Miss Zhou would come at this time. She is the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion."
Yin Miaoyin was open-minded and had no intention of arguing with Zhou Baihe. She just told it to her mother as a joke.
She talked about how Zhou Baili was determined to fight for the top position and even brought General Zhou out to pressure others. When she mentioned Liu Suifeng, the owner of Ruyi Pavilion, Yin Miaoyin changed her tone: "Mother will know when she sees it. That owner Liu is interesting."
Upon hearing this, Zhen chuckled and teased, "Could it be that my son has taken a fancy to this Mr. Liu?"
Yin Miaoyin was amused by her mother and said coquettishly, "Mother, you are talking nonsense. I just think that Master Liu is about the same age as me, but he can do such a thing. He is really amazing."
"Mr. Liu is not only talented, but also handsome. He is very elegant at a young age. Mother, I think this Mr. Liu looks familiar."
Seeing that her daughter was serious, Zhen looked at her quietly with gentle eyes: "Why do you look familiar?"
The girl lying on Guifu's lap pondered for a while, then stood up and looked at Zhen: "My daughter thinks that the young man looks a bit like the portrait of my grandmother when she was young that my grandfather painted."
"Puchi" Zhen was amused by Yin Miaoyin, "You, girl, are talking nonsense. You miss your grandmother too much, so you think that person is similar to your grandmother at first glance. But the young lady of the Zhou family is really too much."
Seeing Zhen looking at him and laughing, Yin Miaoyin knew that his mother thought he was joking, so he held Zhen's hand and shook it: "It's true that they look a bit alike, but there are many people in the world who look alike."
"Since the owner of Ruyi Pavilion has his own rules, you can go to him to buy jewelry in the future. As for the Zhou family, you will inevitably meet them when you attend banquets in the future, so don't bother with them."
Because of her long-term illness, Zhen had not attended any banquets, big or small, for some time, and her impression of the noble ladies in the capital had mostly faded.
Zhen had no impression of Miss Zhou whom Yin Miaoyin mentioned, but she had some impression of her mother, Zhao.
"Actually, it's okay to give her the headdress. I just don't like her overbearing look, as if I owe her something." Yin Miaoyin curled her lips. It wasn't a must-have gift for her mother. She refused because she didn't like Zhou Baili.
"Then why didn't you tell me your grandfather's name? The general's family is of high status, and we can afford to send them to the prime minister's mansion. People like Miss Zhou are the most likely to bully the weak and fear the strong. If you tell me your grandfather's official title, are you worried that the girl from the Zhou family will not know the difficulty and retreat?"
Zhen was in her twenties when she had her daughter Yin Miaoyin. She loved her very much and the two of them spoke like sisters in private.
Yin Miaoyin snorted proudly and leaned on Zhen's shoulder like a spoiled child: "I don't want to do this. Grandfather is quite prestigious in the court. There is no need to worry that Miss Zhou will not back down. But if I do this, won't I become the same as her?"
Although she said this verbally, Yin Miaoyin felt a little guilty. She would not tell her mother. At the beginning, when she saw that Zhou Baili was making trouble again and again and had no intention of stopping, she planned to bring up her grandfather.
But she didn't expect that at the critical moment, the owner of Ruyi Pavilion would stand up and speak for her.
She has the support of her grandfather, so she is naturally not afraid of Zhou Baili. It is rare for Liu Suifeng, as a businessman, to dare to confront the powerful.
