Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!-Chapter 1278: Knowing You Envy

Mingyun also thought so, the Zhao family indeed had fallen from prosperity. freewebnσvel.cѳm

He had often heard his grandfather mention Zhao Bo, so he had a rather favorable impression of the Zhao clan; this time, that goodwill completely disappeared, "With the Zhao clan’s elders constantly passing away, and the succeeding generations lacking ambition-minded people, they wanted to preserve their family’s status in Pingzhou City, so they started harboring devious intentions."

Jiang Zhu spoke, "The Zhao family is using Mr. Zhao who is connected to my grandfather. They have planned it well. If their scheming succeeds, even if you feel resentful inside, you won’t tear your face off considering Mr. Zhao. In fact, their plan is perfect, using many years of friendship, it’s indeed easy to succeed at once."

Mingyun thought about yesterday’s events, and his anger diminished, "Yesterday, the Zhao family girl twisted her ankle spectacularly, and these few days they should be finalizing the engagement."

Jiang Zhu laughed, the Zhao family girl got lost, and unexpectedly my cousin and I were very cautious, surrounded by people. Originally intending to utilize her twisted ankle, it turned out my cousin and I both practiced martial arts. Although not experts, our reaction speed was exceptionally fast.

He and his cousin dodged, but some people happily took over. The Zhao clan was in decline in the eyes of the Zhou family, but in the eyes of some students, it still was substantial. This time the Zhao clan lost face and also angered my grandfather, who is very vindictive.

The next day, the Qi Clan came to the residence with Ran Wan, and Zhulan immediately knew, she was also concerned for Mingyun, "The news hasn’t reached the capital yet."

From the corner of her eyes, Qi Clan watched her granddaughter, Ran Wan’s cheeks were flushed, she couldn’t help but murmur into her grandmother’s ear, it was her grandmother who brought her here.

Zhulan’s eyes shimmered with a smile, she liked Ran Wan, the child. It is said that nieces are like their aunts, and this saying is not wrong. Ran Wan’s personality was very similar to Ran Yan’s, a very transparent child who could carry the responsibility of being the Zhou family’s eldest grandson’s wife.

Zhulan waited for Qing Xue to bring out a box, and personally opened it for Ran Wan, "The Xu family brought back some jewelry from overseas, I think they are quite good and kept some, this bracelet is very suitable for young ladies, I kept a pair for you, take a look and see if you like it?"

Ran Wan was even more embarrassed, she came for Mingyun, not for the jewelry.

Actually, she was happy her granddaughter caught the eye of the Yang family, marrying into the family wouldn’t be difficult, and with Mrs. Yang’s liking, her granddaughter just needed to live well with Mingyun, she nudged her granddaughter, "Take it, it’s from your Grandma Yang."

Ran Wan stood up, "Thank you, Grandma Yang."

Zhulan was amused, "I hope you can just call me Grandma without the surname!"

Ran Wan felt her cheeks burning even more, Qi Clan knew her granddaughter was shy, "Don’t tease her anymore."

Zhulan knew the limits, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop."

Ran Wan sat back down, the heat on her cheeks yet to fade. Her dowry had been prepared since she was young, because of Mingjun’s outstanding achievements, her grandfather and uncle were very happy, her dowry became even more substantial, her grandmother also added some of her own dowry to it.

Now just waiting for Mingyun to return to the capital, they would set the wedding date, Ran Wan’s cheeks got even hotter.

Steward Ding ran in, shouting excitedly, "Great joy, the eldest young master is Xiao Sanyuan."

Zhulan was also thrilled, the Zhou family had never produced a Xiao Sanyuan before, "Good, good, truly a great joy."

In her happiness, Zhulan doubled the servants’ monthly pay.

Qi Clan was already satisfied with this future grandson-in-law, now holding her granddaughter’s hand, Ran Wan is truly blessed, "Oh, I can’t stay any longer; my family is also waiting for the news!"

Zhulan chuckled, "Alright, then I won’t keep you any longer."

Qi Clan, led by Ran Wan, left, and Lady Li and others also came to the main courtyard, Lady Li’s grin wide, "Mother, Mingyun really brought glory to our family."

Zhulan, "Indeed brought glory."

The Zhao family congratulated the sister-in-law, then said, "Mother, this great happy event, the relatives haven’t been notified yet."

Zhulan, "You go arrange for someone to send out the news."

In the Qin Prince Residence, Xue Han found out the news while composing music with the Empress Dowager, with the Retired Emperor and Crown Prince playing chess nearby.

Xue Han gave the steward a silver reward, and what Xue Han said was, "Mingyun truly lived up to father’s teachings."

Xue Han believes that Xiao Sanyuan is a title Mingyun deserves. Why? Because only Mingyun is continuously taught by their father, plus occasional lessons from the third and fourth brothers, Mingyun is destined to excel.

Xue Han had much more confidence than his own parents.

The Retired Emperor strokes his beard, "Then shouldn’t I expect a Grand Slam next?"

Xue Han’s expression stiffened. No, Father Emperor, please don’t expect it, the difference between Xiao Sanyuan and the Grand Slam is huge, one is on a small scale, the other national!

The Empress Dowager snickers and glares at her husband, "Alright, stop teasing the child."

The Retired Emperor truly did anticipate it, however, his wife fiercely protected their daughter-in-law.

The young Crown Prince was very spirited, "The eldest grandson of Grand Master Zhou is so outstanding, certainly a true inheritor of Grand Master Zhou’s teachings, a pillar of the state indeed."

He paused then continued, "My little aunt’s nephew has many, I’ve heard all are not bad."

That’s wonderful, if all have inherited Grand Master Zhou’s teachings, that would be great.

Xue Han’s gaze towards the young Crown Prince changed, he’s eyeing Zhou’s family’s sheepfold to catch a sheep!

The Retired Emperor strokes his eldest grandson’s hair, "Haha."

Zhulan also learned about Jiang Zhu’s results, fourth place. Jiang Zhu’s resources can’t compare to Mingyun’s; this result is not unexpected, and actually quite good.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren hums a tune. The third generation of Zhou’s family has arisen, seeing Qiu Yan coming in, "My grandson is returning to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yan asked, "Results have been sent back?"

Zhou Shuren proudly replied, "Yes, they have arrived. Top scorer again."

Qiu Yan’s congratulatory words got stuck, it would suffice to directly say ’top scorer’, why add ’again’? This is showing off.

Zhou Shuren eyed Qiu Yan, what could Qiu Yan do, thinking about his own inept grandson, Qiu Yan always educates his child with reason, this time he thought of using the stick, his heart soured like drinking vinegar, yet he still had to say, "Congratulations."

Zhou Shuren was satisfied, the corners of his mouth curved upward unabashedly.

Then, the people from the Ministry came to visit Grand Master of Writing, everyone knew about the Grand Master’s eldest grandson achieving Xiao Sanyuan.

Zhou Shuren strokes his beard and says to Zhang Jinghong, "During my period of break, I am planning to host a feast, you should come too."

Zhang Jinghong internally amused, at this time, Grand Master Zhou is just a grandfather showing off his grandson. Indeed, his grandson Mingyun is merit-worthy, if his son achieved such, he would show off too, "Alright."

Zhou Shuren has already taken out paper to write up the invitation list, well, everyone needs to be invited, he doesn’t need to be overly cautious or low-key now, he now has the confidence to show off.

The next day, after the early court, Zhou Shuren personally invited everyone according to the list.

Li Zhao was not so envious; his own grandson was not bad either.

Zhou Shuren received confirmation everyone would attend, then met Scholar Ding with a sour face, oh right, Scholar Ding’s grandson also participated in this year’s scholar examination.

Scholar Ding spoke in a sour tone, "Many geniuses flash by, it’s better to keep a low profile."

Zhou Shuren wasn’t upset, smiling amiably, "My grandson Xiao Sanyuan, I know you’re envious."

Scholar Ding, "..."

Annoyed indeed, it was sour, but truly very envious.
