Chapter 1423: Chapter 1420 Li Zhongyan
In the eyes of Lady Li, it seed that she was also preparing to ally with her family by marriage, which made her so angry that she nearly exploded. If she had not noticed sothing amiss, she would have interrupted long ago.
Despite Ye Muyu standing behind Chu Heng, she did not want to offend outright, but she also did not want to be related by marriage to the Chu family.
It was said that Chu Heng was an imperial courtier, but who didn’t know that he was the Emperor’s blade against the Liu family, a blade that could turn on her anyti; she did not want to be embroiled in that.
Moreover, with the Liu family’s present power, there was no way a Chu family with no foundation could contend. The noble families have continued for so many years because the imperial court could never really move against them.
On the contrary, new noble families like the Chu family, if they lack ability, might disappear without a trace at any mont.
At the door.
A young man dressed in blue silk clothes walked in, a handso lad full of vitality. After entering, he strode in with big steps and first greeted Old Madam Li.
“Grandson greets grandmother, greets mother.”
Old Madam Li’s smile grew even more kind, “You child, where have you been causing mischief again?”
“Grandmother, you misunderstand . I was entertaining everyone in the Pear Garden. They were composing poems, and as soon as I learned you were looking for , I ca right over.”
Old Madam Li smiled and nodded, “You are an obedient child. Now, greet Madam Chu and Miss Chu, Ziluo.”
“Zhong Yan greets Madam Chu.” Li Zhongyan turned and greeted Ye Muyu, the handso face alight with an approachable and innocent smile, extroverted by nature. “Greetings to Miss Chu.”
From his manner of address, it was clear he was soone with discernnt. Ye Muyu had a good impression of Li Zhongyan, seeing that he was not of a kind with Lady Li at least.
Ye Muyu nodded, while Chu Ziluo beside her stood up and properly returned the greeting.
Seeing the two children et, Old Madam Li couldn’t help but desire to matchmake them: “Zhongyan, your sisters will probably go flower viewing too. Ziluo is a little younger than you all, so take her along and rember to ask Chun’er to look after Ziluo.”
Li Zhongyan was montarily stunned, looking up to see his grandmother smiling warmly, clearly intending to match him with Miss Chu from the Chu family.
“Yes, grandson will ask sister to take care of Miss Chu.”
It was inappropriate for Li Zhongyan to et Chu Ziluo alone, bringing up Li Chun’er was just to avoid suspicion.
Ye Muyu did not understand why Old Madam Li was so anxious to match Chu Ziluo and Li Zhongyan, but she did not intend to agree either. The reason was simple: with Lady Li as a mother-in-law, she would not let Ziluo marry into the Li family, much less that Ziluo was still young and she truly did not plan for such a young girl to marry so soon.
Marrying off is nowhere as happy and carefree as staying at ho.
However, she did not intend to stop it right now because soone else was more eager to object than she was.
Lady Li, seeing her son coming over, knew at once what her mother-in-law would do.
At this mont, her face grew somber.
Seeing Li Zhongyan agree, she smiled with difficulty: “Zhongyan, take Nanny Liu along too, to look after Miss Chu. You as a man might be clumsy and careless.”
Though not spoken outright, the implication was clear; she did not want outsiders to misunderstand the two.
Ye Muyu also smiled and said: “Lady Li, your thoughtfulness is most considerate.”
As she spoke, she had Liuye beside her go as well. Just earlier when Chu Ziluo returned, Liuye had followed her back.
Old Madam Li saw it all.
Originally upon seeing Lady Li’s actions, she harbored hidden anger.
