He also agreed with his second brother's family's idea of keeping the news secret for the time being. Wen Chengzhou thought more deeply. Zhou Man wasn't his sister's biological daughter, so was she related to her brother-in-law, Zhou Liheng? Although her brother-in-law seemed devoted to his sister over the years, who knew if he meant what he said?
The news soon reached the Zhou family that the Wen family would hold a banquet for Shi Miao on December 24th.
Zhou Man was startled and blurted out what was in her mind, "Uncle is confused."
They actually let Shi Miao become the eldest daughter of the Wen family? In the future, she will have to call Shi Miao a sister?
Thinking of this, Zhou Man could no longer maintain her cute and innocent expression. She seemed to be describing herself, "What about Yan Zi?"
Wen Ying didn't have any objections. Instead, she smiled and said, "I've seen photos of Shi Miao. She looks a bit like your grandmother when she was young. Your two uncles are grateful, but also out of empathy. Having another adopted daughter won't threaten Yanzi's status. I think Yanzi is very happy and keeps saying that she has a good sister."
"Is that so?" Zhou Man nodded. "Since she is my cousin's benefactor, she is also my benefactor. I heard that her family was not well off before. So I will go to my uncle's house tomorrow to meet her and give her some clothes and jewelry."
Wen Ying said, "You are of similar age and both are good kids. You will definitely get along well."
Zhou Man could see that her mother wanted her to be kind and innocent, and she really shouldn't have worried about Shi Miao. Even if she had caught the eye of her two uncles, she was their niece. How could Shi Miao, a lucky outsider, compare to her? She should be more generous and show kindness to Shi Miao.
Thinking this way, she went back to her room and found a few pieces of jewelry she didn't like. Even the pieces she disliked were worth a fortune; even just one piece could provide an average person with enough food and drink for several years. Someone with Shi Miao's background would definitely prefer gold. Her classmates couldn't take their eyes off gold whenever they saw it.
After choosing two pieces, Zhou Man took the jewelry to her uncle's house. When she arrived, she did not see Shi Miao and her cousin Wen Yanshan, but only her aunt Wang Hui.
Zhou Man asked, "Where is Yan Zi?" She chose to come over on the weekend.
Wang Hui's attitude remained the same as always. "She took Miaomiao to get some clothes custom-made."
Miaomiao has suffered a lot in the past, and Wang Hui just wants to buy her things.
Zhou Man showed a simple and lovely smile, "Aunt, this is the jewelry I gave to Miaomiao. I don't know what she likes. If she doesn't like it, I will bring some more jewelry for her to choose from."
Wang Hui's eyes fell on the gold peony necklace and gold bracelet inlaid with sapphires, and her smile faded. She remembered that these two pieces of jewelry were birthday gifts given to Manman by the Yang family. Manman thought the jewelry was tacky and never wore it.
What? Was she giving Miaomiao jewelry because she didn't like it? If Shi Miao wore it, she'd be criticized for her tacky taste. If she refused, she'd be accused of greed. She was in a dilemma.
I don’t know whether Manman did it unintentionally or on purpose.
Even if Shi Miao was not her niece, Wang Hui was willing to hold a grand and decent welcome banquet for her just because she saved Yan Zi.
Wang Hui's lips curled up, but her eyes were a little cold. "No need. I haven't seen you wearing these two pieces of jewelry. They must be your favorites. Since they are beloved items, how can I take them away from others? You should keep them for yourself."
"I've prepared Miaomiao's jewelry. The one you've seen before is the set of imperial green headpiece your grandmother gave me."
Zhou Man felt a little uncomfortable when she was rejected, and when she heard about the emperor's green head mask, the smile on her face froze on the spot.
