Chapter 74.2 Zi You Stands Out and Attracts Attention
So when her son made a fuss, she once said, âMarrying such a beautiful wife, are weâre going to pray to her like a Bodhisattva? Being virtuous is good. Mother wonât oppose no matter how beautiful your concubines look in the future.â
However, her son jumped up and shouted, âSon only wants Youâer. Son wonât marry if itâs not her!â
Duke Yongnan also told her, âA womanâs insight is indeed short. Zi You is Old General Muâs most treasured granddaughter. Ignoring other things, based on Old General Muâs character and prestige, could the granddaughter he brought up not be virtuous? Besides, you want my Zhao familyâs Di grandson and Di granddaughter to not look outstanding? Muddleheaded!â
After her husband and son said that, Duke Yongnan furen had a change of heart. She decided to have Zi You as her daughter-in-law.
However, before she had time to mention a marriage proposal, her daughter-in-law was stared at by so many people. How could she not be nervous?
Duke Yongnan furen immediately went over to separate the crowd. She grabbed Zi Youâs hand and pretended to smile intimately at her. She said, âYouâer, why donât you come over to play? You and Xiangâer are so familiar with each other. Or you want Aunt to send you an invitation?â
These words made people think. Zi You and my son were so familiar with each other that she didnât need an invitation to visit. Just think, how good was their relationship?
Née Liu immediately was unhappy. She was about to speak but saw Zi You calmly and slowly withdrew her hand from Duke Yongnan furen. She smiled, âAunt, did Shizi [heir to noble title] have a fever after he fell into the water? Youâer doesnât know if her medicine worked. You didnât return so he must be recovered. Aunt, please tell Shizi to not play by the edge of the pond. Itâs very dangerous. Fortunately, Youâer came upon him at the Generalâs Manor that day. Otherwise, how dangerous it would have been! Ah!â
