382: Chapter 261: Find_3 382: Chapter 261: Find_3 Yu Tao let out a sigh, “Sister-in-law, can we wait a little longer, is that alright?”
“What is it, just say it.”
“Ye iru is here.” Yu Tao bit her lip, “She’s talking with Grandma right now.
Mom’s afraid you might feel uncomfortable if you see her, so she sent up here to keep you company.
She’ll decide when to call us down depending on the situation.”
“Ye iru is here?” Chuxia was startled, “Is that the Ye iru who wronged Zhou Mikang?”
“Yes,” Yu Tao nodded, “Grandma used to be very close to her, and it wouldn’t be right to ignore her.”
“I know.” Chuxia started to walk outwards, “I’m actually quite curious to see what Ye iru looks like.
Really, what a great opportunity, and they’re keeping from seeing her.
Ah, it’s a good thing I found out, almost missed it.”
Following behind her, Yu Tao looked anxious: “Sister-in-law…”
Chuxia quickly turned back to reassure her: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I won’t get jealous or make a scene, I’m just curious, I want to see whether she or I am more beautiful, hehe…”
Yu Tao: “…
There must be sothing wrong with her eyes or else, how could her dear sister-in-law be smiling so happily?
Shouldn’t she be jealous and envious?”
Putting herself in the other’s shoes, she thought that if there was a woman who had a betrothal arrangent with Zhou Xikang, and she ca knocking now, she would definitely feel quite uncomfortable.
Otherwise, could it be that her dear sister-in-law was just too young to understand jealousy?
Right now, Chuxia was truly more curious than anything else.
About this legendary woman, she had heard from more than one person.
If Zhou Mikang and i Yitong both liked her, she must be a beauty, right?
Alright, she admitted she was gossipy.
She wasn’t trying to prove that she was more attractive than the other woman; she was purely curious and wanted to see for herself what a goddess from this era looked like.
Downstairs, a bunch of boxes and parcels were piled up high, and a set of sofas that were conspicuously vacant stood out.
A young woman was laughingly chatting with Old Madam Zhou, looking delighted.
Her black hair was divided into two thick braids, resting against her chest, which seed to be a classic style of this era.
However, the ends of this woman’s braids were curly.
With fair skin and a pair of large, watery almond eyes beneath willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows, they widened to reveal a slight vulnerableness.
Her nose was a little flat, but nevertheless quite straight, and her lips were thin, seemingly with neat teeth.
Sitting down, her height wasn’t visible, but by rough estimation, she was about 1.7 ters tall.
Not exactly chubby, but slightly robust.
Alright, she fit the aesthetic of the era well, but in Chuxia’s eyes, it was a disappointnt.
Or was it that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointnt?
After all the talk and hearsay, Ye iru, in her mind, was an enchanting and beautiful woman, but the woman sitting downstairs wasn’t enchanting at all.
It’s no wonder Old Madam Zhou liked her so much.
If she was compared with that woman, surely most won would prefer the latter—wasn’t she so upright and proper?
“Chuxia…” Lin Yanqiu, seeing Chuxia coming downstairs, hurried forward to hold her arm, casting a reproachful glance at Yu Tao.
“Mom, I wanted to co down,” Chuxia quickly said, pointing towards where the old lady was sitting, “I was just curious and wanted to see what Zhou Mikang’s forr fiancée looked like.”
Seeing that Chuxia spoke plainly without any sign of anger or fuss, Lin Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Chuxia like Yu Tao did: “Your grandma has a good relationship with her, and after not seeing each other for several years, it wouldn’t be good to send her away.”
“Mom, I know,” Chuxia smiled, “I can’t dictate that no one in our family should deal with her, can I?
Besides, Grandpa Ye is a decent person, and just for Grandpa Ye’s sake, we can’t be too harsh towards her, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Lin Yanqiu let out a long breath of relief, “hearing you say this, mom is truly relieved.
Oh, when I had Yu Tao go up earlier, my heart was hanging by a thread.
I always felt I owed it to you, and I genuinely didn’t want you to feel burdened.
To be honest, I’m not as good as you in this respect.
If I saw such a woman coming here, I definitely would get so angry I’d throw her out on top of her head.”
“Really?” Chuxia blinked her eyes and lowered her voice, “Mom, are you closer to now, or to her?”
“Do you even have to ask?”
“Then can you tell what she’s been telling grandma?”
“What else could it be?
She talked about how much she regretted leaving, how much hardship she endured over the years, now that she’s finally back, how much she wants to make ands.
Aside from that, what else could there be?”
