Chapter 53. Duke Ningguo’s son?
While Zou Changru was talking, she actually asked the nanny to bring up her one-year-old grandson.
It's so cute with its chubby head and tiger-like appearance.
The little guy was surrounded by a group of ladies, but he was not shy. He would laugh whenever someone teased him.
"Madam, you are so lucky. This little fellow is so smart. When he grows up, he will definitely be able to become the top scholar."
"I think it's more than that. Look at the strength of his hands and feet. He will definitely be good at both literature and martial arts in the future."
Zou Changru couldn't stop smiling when she heard those compliments.
But when she turned around, she saw her mortal enemy chatting with Princess Su and didn't even look at her.
Zou Changru gritted her teeth and walked over with a smile.
"Mrs. Yun, why don't you go see my eldest grandson? He's so adorable. He usually clings to me so tightly, but if he can't see me for a while, he'll burst into tears, staring with his big round eyes and calling me 'Grandma' in a baby voice. Then I'll be at my wit's end."
Zou Changru covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Cui Wanxin ostentatiously.
"Oh, you see, I forgot. Madam Yun's eldest son seems to be unmarried yet, so naturally he doesn't understand the joys of being a grandmother."
Cui Changru's voice was not small, and the tassels on her temples trembled slightly with her laughter, with a hint of ridicule.
"Madam Yun, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but while building a career is certainly important, we still have to worry about our children's marriages. I wonder if Ya'er has decided on a marriage yet?"
Cui Wanxin said calmly: "Ya'er's fate has not yet arrived!"
She remembered that her little girl had once said that Yaer's marriage would come later, and it would be a love-at-first-sight kind where a hero saves a beauty.
But this girl just stopped eating melons at the critical moment.
It made her itch to know who the other person was!
Because of this, she later rejected wave after wave of people who came to propose marriage to her.
Zou Changru seemed to have guessed what she would say. She rolled her eyes and muttered softly, "What do you mean by 'fate hasn't arrived yet'? I think it's just that your standards are too high and you can't get married."
Oh!
Thinking back to when she first fell in love with Cui Wanxin’s eldest daughter Yun Ya, it was her blessing.
Cui Wanxin, on the other hand, directly rejected his proposal!
It’s her fault that her eldest daughter can’t get married!
Cui Wanxin's face froze. Just as she was about to speak, Yun Wei beside her suddenly said, "That's because my family really doesn't like your mediocre son who has no skills and only knows how to eat."
Everyone: ...
“Puff!”
Princess Su laughed out loud. She didn't expect that Xiao Huaer's third sister had such a sharp tongue.
[Hahaha, Xiao Huahua, your third sister is so funny! Look how angry she made that Marquis' wife look like a pufferfish.]
Yunhua raised her head proudly, [That's the style I had back then!]
Let her be proud for a while, and see if I don't reveal everything about her.
When everyone heard this, they instantly became interested.
Only Yun Wei glanced at Yun Hua dimly!
Zou Changru looked at the expressions of the people around her watching the show, and her face became darker and darker.
Especially the smile on Cui Wanxin's face was particularly dazzling to her.
Zou Changru was about to get angry, but her eldest grandson suddenly burst into tears and no one could comfort him.
Zou Changru's face turned pale, and she had no choice but to invite everyone to take their seats first. She held her eldest grandson in her arms and coaxed him, but in fact she felt very aggrieved.
As soon as Yunhua sat down, he saw someone sneaking away from behind the rockery!
[Little Flower, Big Melon, Absolutely Big Melon, Hurry up and catch up with that person, hurry up, or you'll miss a good show! ]
The Book of Life and Death flew out of the book, flapping its little wings with a look of excitement on its face.
Yunhua's eyes lit up.
She glanced at her mother secretly, and slipped away when she wasn't paying attention.
Everyone: ...Why are you a little excited?
"Ahem...um, it seems like this is my first time in the Marquis' Mansion, I want to take a look around..."
"Really? I heard there are many precious flowers in the Marquis' Mansion. Let me listen with you and see...see!"
Oh my god, I almost blurted out!
"Oh, I drank too much tea and I felt like going to the bathroom. I'll be back soon..."
"Mrs. Zhou, wait, I'll form a team for you to go together!"
After that, the ladies and daughters from the noble families all stood up and left their seats, walking in the same direction...
Cui Wanxin twitched her lips!
Sure enough, gossip is a woman's nature.
She sighed and followed immediately.
Those who didn't understand what was going on could only sit there in a daze.
Zou Changru's eyes darkened. What do you mean by looking at flowers and going to the toilet? Are they in the same direction?
It's obviously an excuse!
She glanced at the nanny beside her. If she wasn't being held back by her eldest grandson, she would have gone to see for herself what was going on!
The Book of Life and Death led the way, and Yunhua followed the man with a hunched back.
【Xiao Shushu, who is this person? 】
The Book of Life and Death smiled mysteriously, "Little Flower, how about you take a guess?"
Yunhua had never seen this man before. He was tall and strong, well-dressed, and looked like a man of status. But why did he avoid everyone and come all the way to the backyard?
A thought flashed through her mind and her eyes widened in shock.
[Isn't this another adultery?]
The Book of Life and Death chuckled, "I won't tell you, but you're quite familiar with this man's father."
Yunhua snorted. The little bookworm's suspense made her feel itchy.
She was familiar with his father. She was an official in the court and knew many people.
[Forget it!] Yunhua said she was very angry!
[Okay, okay, I'll just tell you.]
The Book of Life and Death patted Xiao Huahua's face in a flattering manner, and his smile widened a little. [His name is Zhang Jinghe, the youngest son of the Duke of Ningguo.]
Yunhua looked at the Book of Life and Death in surprise.
[Duke Ningguo's son, come to the backyard of Marquis Mingyuan's mansion!]
[He's here looking for... a woman? Who has he set his eyes on? Could it be Zou Changru's daughter-in-law? Then... then that eldest grandson she keeps showing off, could it be...?]
Yunhua stuttered and couldn't speak, you can imagine how shocked he was!
Everyone: What did they hear?
The Book of Life and Death just chuckled and didn't directly answer Yun Hua's question. "Xiao Hua Hua, go and see for yourself later!"
Yunhua choked.
Seeing Zhang Jinghe look around vigilantly and then walk into a room, Yunhua hurriedly followed him, holding up his clothes.
But he didn't know that not far behind him, there was a large group of people following him.
They couldn't get too close to Yunhua, so they could only grab their handkerchiefs and stretch their necks to look.
The sunlight soaked through the window paper, and Yunhua was squatting under the window.
Suddenly, another girl also squatted down.
Both of them were startled by each other!
The girl reacted very quickly. She covered Yunhua's mouth and yelled "ah-ah" twice at her, while making gestures to signal her to keep her voice down.
Yunhua's eyes darkened. He was a mute!
He nodded at her, and the girl let go of her hand, and they smiled at each other.
The girl carefully opened the window a crack.
Yunhua held his breath, and the two of them looked along the crack.
The light in the room was dim, the curtains were half-rolled up, and two figures were standing behind the screen.
"Chengyue, I'm here..."
"Hate it, why are you so late..."
Two voices sounded at the same time, and Yunhua froze in place as if struck by lightning!
