Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!
Chapter 1410: Carefree

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: Carefree

Wong Wei knew his wife wasn’t telling the truth. In their kind of noble family, there are too many concerns and shackles, not much freedom. Marrying him meant bearing his burdens too. With a tone of heartache, he said, "Shall I accompany you to visit your parents’ home?"

Yu Lu was surprised and delighted, then quickly replied, "You just started your position at the Ministry of Works and have been busy these days. You finally have a day off, let’s not bother."

"It’s okay, I’m not tired. We can go back after dinner."

Yu Lu, leading the decision, stood up happily to change her clothes.

Her belly had grown. To avoid worrying her in-laws, it had been some days since she last visited her parental home. Alas, the Wong family cherished her child so much, deeply fearing any mishaps.

Yu Lu and her husband returned home unexpectedly, and Zhulan couldn’t stop herself from overthinking. She confirmed that Yu Lu merely missed her parents and wasn’t upset before she felt relieved.

Old Zhou was not at home; he had been staying at the villa these days. Lady Li was overjoyed to know her daughter had come home.

Lady Li said cheerfully, "If you didn’t come back today, I would have visited you in a couple of days. Now that you’re here, I don’t need to go. You can take the things I’ve prepared for you back with you."

Because of her pregnancy, Yu Lu was unusually emotionally driven, "Mom, now that you have a grandson, you don’t care about your daughter?"

Lady Li replied, "Nonsense."

Yu Lu holding her mother’s hand, "Mom, why don’t you come visit me in a few days?"

Zhulan spoke, "Grandma has decided, your mom will visit you in a few days."

Yu Lu missed her home. No matter how good her life with the Wong family was, it wasn’t like being at her own home.

Lady Li tapped her daughter’s forehead, "You’re all grown up, yet still competing for affection with your nephew. Alright, mom will come to see you."

Yu Lu’s mood brightened, "No matter how old I am, I’ll always be mom’s daughter."

Lady Li also felt sorry for her daughter; otherwise, she wouldn’t keep sending various nice things to her, but it’s also difficult for her to visit the Wong family frequently.

Seeing this scene, Zhao also missed her daughter. The letters from her daughter informed that her son-in-law had started his position and that both her daughter and grandson were doing well. But not seeing them in person, she was always worried.

Unfortunately, she also missed her daughter but had no way as her husband would wait until autumn to accumulate enough leave.

A quarter later, Lady Li was taking her daughter back to the main house. Back in the main house, Ran Wan and Lau Jia were seated around Yu Lu.

Ran Wan asked with concern, "Do your legs cramp at night?"

Yu Lu shook her head, "My legs are a bit swollen, but I don’t get cramps."

Ran Wan, "Then that’s good."

Yu Lu smilingly said, "This belly of mine is too precious, I’ll be getting a pulse check in a few days, sister-in-law doesn’t need to worry."

Ran Wan felt sorry for Yu Lu upon hearing that. The more the Wong family cherished Yu Lu’s belly, the greater the pressure she felt, "Boy or girl, it’s all the same to us, you see I bloomed before bearing fruit, don’t worry too much."

Yu Lu got along very well with her sister-in-law, knowing she cared for her, "I understand."

Lau Jia was somewhat less tactful; having married into the family after Yu Lu, the concerned words were already spoken by her big sister-in-law, and she didn’t know what else to say.

Yu Lu noticed, "Second sister-in-law has been looking at my belly, do you want to feel it?"

Lau Jia blushed. The great-grandfather was looking forward to the child’s early arrival, "Can I?"

Yu Lu laughed, "Of course."

Lau Jia felt the baby move, and Yu Lu said, "The child really likes his second aunt!"

Lau Jia, "I like him too."

In Huaizhou, Chang Xhong was writing the homework left by his brother Wu Ming, listening to the rain outside the window and lifting his head, "It has been raining non-stop since I arrived in Huaizhou."

Shen Xing, "Does the young master want to go out?"

Chang Xhong indeed wanted to go out for a walk. Ever since he arrived in Huaizhou, his brother Wu Ming had left him with a lot of homework, and at night Wu Ming would examine him. Wu Ming was so busy yet still took the time to tutor him, he felt guilty not putting in effort and shook off the idea of going out.

Shen Xing did not continue speaking; he knew Mr. Wu deliberately assigned so much homework to keep the young master from going anywhere.

These days Mr. Wu was busy, he wanted to wait until he was free to personally take the young master out instead of letting the young master wander on his own.

Chang Xhong lowered his head, feeling homesick all of a sudden, and blurted out, "I wonder how my sister is doing?"

Shen Xing, "Prince Qin will take good care of the Princess Consort."

Chang Xhong thought that made sense, and his tone dropped a bit, "I miss my parents."

Shen Xing counted the days; indeed, it had been a long time since they left.

Chang Xhong looked at Lu Jia Qing standing by his side, "I haven’t heard you talk about your family. Do you still remember them?"

Jia Qing was slightly stunned, pursing his lips and shaking his head, "I don’t remember anymore."

Chang Xhong thought to himself that he was lying; if he truly didn’t remember, his reaction wouldn’t be so intense. He had long discovered that Jia Qing could read; when he was studying, Jia Qing would be all ears listening. Jia Qing thought he had hidden it well, but his brother Wu Ming had noticed long ago.

In Zhou Village, Jiang Miu had returned to Zhou Village for a few days; she first went to the Dong family. Despite the Dong family’s many calculations, the mother-in-law hadn’t severed relations, she still needed to visit the Dong family.

Then she visited a few of her direct uncles, and finally visited the Li family. When she returned to Zhou Village, she wasn’t idle either. The elders of the Zhou clan, and young wives visiting her, the house never lacked visitors.

Jiang Miu had been very busy these few days, today she finally got a breather, she could quietly read her book.

But soon after, her second aunt came, "Second aunt, cousin."

Lady Li smiled and said, "Isn’t it because your cousin is getting married? This match is quite an upward climb for us, so I brought your cousin here to learn some manners from you."

Jiang Miu thought to herself, she still knows it’s reaching high. Why Jiang Li could join the County magistrate’s family depended entirely on her father. Jiang Miu saw right through the County magistrate’s schemes, but Jiang Li didn’t think so; she actually believed she was exceptional enough to be sought in marriage.

Jiang Miu smiled, "My dowry steward knows everything, I’ll have her guide your cousin."

Lady Li wished for Jiang Miu to personally teach her, thinking she had another request she held back her displeasure, "Your dowry must be good, thank you from this second aunt."

Jiang Miu said, "Of course it’s good, it was found by my grandmother."

It came from inside the palace, but she left that unsaid.

The displeasure in Lady Li’s heart disappeared, and she dared not hold any resentment. Her eyes shifted as she continued, "Jiang Li is marrying into the County magistrate’s home, our family doesn’t have much to offer as a dowry, I don’t know if it will be looked down upon."

Jiang Miu played with the tassel in her hand, she knew it, and after being silent for a while, she said, "It shouldn’t be, my father’s paintings are hard to come by. My father mentioned that he left paintings for a few uncles the last time he returned. Having a painting as a dowry should earn Jiang Li some esteem."

Lady Li was embarrassed; apart from the eldest branch, the paintings of the other branches of the Jiang family had all been sold. Now that someone was offering a high price for the paintings in the hands of the eldest branch, they regretted it deeply; even if they had kept them, she wouldn’t give them to her daughter for dowry, those were meant for her son.

Jiang Miu inwardly sighed, the pride of the Jiang family was inflated, except for the eldest uncle who was calm, the other branches were restless, yet they were unaware that their father wasn’t going to give the Jiang family anything anymore. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.
