Chapter 487 Who to Buy It For

Zhulan felt happy because due to class issues, Yao Zheyu had always been high and mighty and arrogant. Today was the first time that he simply gave in to the Zhou family.

Zhulan picked out a few more pieces of jewelry and felt the pain of paying the money. The two sets of headwear were a bit expensive, two hundred taels per set. When she got back to the carriage, Zhulan felt better. Then she realized that she had overlooked something. The headwear she picked were all suitable for unmarried women. Wasn’t Yao Zheyu unengaged?

Zhulan's eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that there is someone he likes? That's not right. This wouldn't be a private transaction. Forget it.

When they got home, Mrs. Dong was waiting in the main courtyard. When Zhulan entered the courtyard, Mrs. Dong came out to greet her and said, "Mother, you must be tired."

Zhulan, "I'm fine, not too tired. What are you waiting for me for?"

Mrs. Dong took the letter on the table and said, "I wrote back to my mother's home to announce the good news. My mother's reply has arrived. This is the letter for you."

Zhulan took the envelope but did not open it. After reading it, she said, "I haven't seen my mother-in-law for many years. I have to stay with her for a few days this time."

Dong Lin was coming, and Zhulan could understand that she hadn't seen her daughter for several years, and she could just take advantage of her pregnancy to see if she was a good girl. She also came to maintain the relationship between the two families, in case Zhou Shuren left too quickly and the Zhou family forgot about the marriage to the Dong family.

Mrs. Dong was filled with joy. She was going to see her mother. "Yes."

Zhulan calculated the days. Letters are sent by express horse, so Dong Lin should arrive in less than seven days. "You should also go and prepare. If you need anything, tell your sister."

Mrs. Dong glanced at her sister-in-law and said, "Okay."

After saying that, Dong saw the box in her sister-in-law's maid Liuli's hand. It must be the jewelry. She thought for herself about her bulging belly and decided to save more money. Her daughter-in-law should be like her sister-in-law and not be laughed at because of the jewelry.

The next day, Tao came to visit. Zhulan welcomed him very much. She still liked Tao very much. She smiled and said, "I thought you were too busy to go out!"

Mrs. Tao was embarrassed to say that Su Xuan had lightened her dowry and was very eager to get married. She was just idle because she couldn't get involved. She had been holding it in for a few days, and today she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she quickly changed the subject, "I heard that the prince hasn't been engaged yet, and my old man said that Lord Zhou knows the prince, so I asked my sister about the prince."

Zhu Lan frowned, "Isn't your daughter engaged?"

Tao coughed and said, "I'm just curious."

Zhulan, "I thought you were going to get involved too. The Marquis' Mansion is not a good place to be."

Those who are not good at fighting will be killed in seconds. Yao Zheyu’s future wife, regardless of her scheming and tricks, must at least be smart and able to protect herself.

Tao knew about it, too. Although she hadn't been back to the capital for many years, she still heard some news. "I'm not stupid. Yaohou Mansion is a den of cannibals. I just heard that the Min and Ran families were making moves, so I asked around."

She remembered the Min family's plan, and she couldn't report any of it.

Zhulan understood that Mrs. Tao was just too idle, so idle that she was looking for something to do. "I don't know much about the prince either. We all know about the same thing."

Mrs. Tao was disappointed. Her husband had said that the prince was especially polite to Lord Zhou. Even though Lord Zhou was indifferent, she thought they were very close. Mrs. Tao was full of curiosity. "I don't know if I can get the upper hand this time."

Zhulan laughed in her heart, don't even think about it, Yao Zheyu is not someone who can be easily tricked. Zhulan even suspected that the emperor deliberately sent the unmarried Yao Zheyu to Jinzhou City. He has only been there for a few days and has attracted everyone's attention.

Tao didn't get any news, so he felt tired and went back after chatting for a while.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back and said, "Yao Zheyu will come to visit tomorrow. Prepare some good wine and food."

Zhulan was unhappy, "You finally got a day off, but he took up most of the day just to visit you."

Zhou Shuren was also unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. "He needs my cooperation in some of his secret activities. It's not easy to discuss it in the government office. I just took the opportunity to talk it over during the visit."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes, "What's his reason for coming to visit?"
