My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1812: Future Daughter-in-Law
However, she’s not stupid. That daughter is her flesh and blood. If she is excellent enough to bring her mother glory, then no matter how much Yun Xingbo minds, she will still secretly maintain contact.
After all, her greater hopes are pinned on her daughter, especially this promising eldest daughter, so beautiful, inheriting her beauty and intelligence, with both cunning and strategy, definitely a good prospect.
"Fengzi, my darling, are you asleep?" She affectionately spoke to the proud and delicate face on the screen.
Her proudest eldest daughter, named Lie Fengzi, is the daughter of her and Duke Lie Feng, a legitimate duchess.
Before divorcing and marrying Yun Xingbo, she was the sixth wife of the old duke. After giving birth to a daughter for that childless old man and obtaining her status, she turned to the younger and more promising Yun Xingbo.
"Mom, has the dinner I asked you to host ended? How were that mother and daughter?" Lie Fengzi asked calmly.
"I invited the mother and daughter like you asked. Yuan Aisha still looks as if she’s at peace with the world, accepting her fate. As for the little girl, there’s really nothing much to say, she’s just a timid, cowardly little girl, not beautiful at all, and with no outstanding personality." Mrs. Yun showed a curious expression, "Darling, why would you be interested in that little girl? She’s really an insignificant person."
Mrs. Yun was truly curious as to why her always high-standards daughter would take interest in that mother and daughter.
Lie Fengzi’s voice was cold: "Mom, when I went to see off Young Master Ling Kong recently, I heard from his villa’s servant that he spent the night at Madam Aisha’s villa and only left in the morning."
Mrs. Yun was shocked and incredulous.
"Darling, you must be joking, how could this be possible? That foolish mother-daughter pair, how could they possibly hold onto a young master from the Helian Family? And that girl has no outstanding qualities at all, nothing remarkable, how could someone so noble and high above take an interest in her? Unless he’s blind."
"But I did hear the servants discussing it."
"Maybe they were just talking nonsense, always exaggerating and spreading rumors with the slightest stir. From what I observed of the little girl’s qualities tonight, if Helian Ling Kong likes her, it would be a ridiculous joke, definitely impossible."
Upon hearing this, Lie Fengzi pondered for a long time. Considering her mother’s always sharp insight, since she also didn’t see anything outstanding about that girl, it must really just be an incompetent girl, incomparable to herself.
Perhaps, it really was just the maids gossiping. Given Young Master Ling Kong’s status and position, how could he possibly be interested in such a girl?
Lie Fengzi felt much reassured.
"Darling, I heard that recently the Councilman’s wife has been frequently inviting you to accompany her, to play the piano for her, you must seize this opportunity!" Mrs. Yun’s voice was excited and urgent.
Lie Fengzi’s face showed some pride and she lifted her chin arrogantly: "The Councilman’s wife is very fond of me now, satisfied with both my excellence and family background. Mom, I think she is inclined to consider me as a candidate for her future daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Yun was overjoyed: "Really, that’s wonderful, she is a great support. By the way, how does the Councilman’s son treat you?"
"I think..." Lie Fengzi’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled with a mixture of pride and a maiden’s shyness, "he also has a good impression of me. I heard that he is usually quite indifferent to girls, but he is very kind to me and even helped bring in a doctor to treat father.
