Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 923 - 912: The Transmigrator Female Protagonist’s Biased Grandmother

"Is she the sister of Yang Tanhua?" Upon hearing the correct answer, Mrs. Li exclaimed once again, still recalling the scene from half a month ago when the top scorer, second place, and third place rode through the streets on horseback.

Although the top scorer was young, he was already thirty, and his appearance was average. As for the second place, he was nearly fifty. Only the third place nearly made the young ladies and official’s wives in the capital scream their hearts out that day.

Mrs. Li had also gone to see them that day and was still amazed by the handsome appearance of the third place. Although her own two sons were also good-looking, she had seen them so many times that they became ordinary. But the third place was different; his posture and demeanor truly embodied the saying ’a gentleman is like jade’.

She once lamented that she didn’t have a daughter, and hadn’t expected her son would admire someone else’s sister in a blink of an eye.

She thought, if the brother was so good-looking, the sister couldn’t be bad either! If her son liked her, a slightly lower family background didn’t matter; after all, marriages often involve marrying low and marrying high. If the Yang Family didn’t agree to her son, wasn’t it just because they feared their daughter would be wronged after marrying into their family?

There was no need to worry about that; she wasn’t a wicked mother-in-law, and her son wasn’t reckless. As long as the girl was good, she guaranteed she would be happy and healthy marrying into the Du Family.

Seeing her son’s dejected look, she was somewhat angry at his lack of resolve: "Where did your usual confidence go? Are you backing down just because they rejected you once? If you are truly sincere, I’ll go talk to the elders of their family."

"Really?" Du Yu looked up in surprise and then chuckled, "Mother, I thought you wouldn’t agree!"

"When have I ever been so unreasonable? But if you really made a lifelong vow with another’s daughter behind your father’s and my back, I wouldn’t agree to this marriage. Their family refusing you proves they value tradition and aren’t people who covet vanity."

"Mother, you’ll definitely like Xiu Fen." Du Yu didn’t hear anything else, only the consent to the marriage from his mother, which made him very happy.

"How does the girl feel about you?" Mrs. Li asked again.

This question made Du Yu awkwardly silent, unable to speak for a long time.

"What’s wrong? What’s there that can’t be said?"

"Mother, Xiu Fen doesn’t even know my feelings. She probably still sees me as just an ordinary colleague of her brother!"

Mrs. Li widened her eyes: "Are you saying the girl doesn’t like you at all, and doesn’t even know you like her?"

"Yes." Du Yu nodded like a pecking chick.

Mrs. Li was almost amused by her incompetent son: "So how did they reject you?"

"It was Shuchen who felt I was too enthusiastic and asked me one day, so I told him honestly."

"Then you were rejected? Told to stay away from his sister?"

"Yes,"

"I’m really exasperated with you." Mrs. Li massaged her forehead, "Where did all your cleverness go? Forget it, I’ll send a servant tomorrow with an invitation, and then I’ll make a personal visit." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Du Yu was overjoyed but cautiously said, "Mother, isn’t it too formal? Yang Family only has Brother Yang in the court, and he’s just a young official who recently joined, whereas you are a dignified third-rank Imperial Decree."

"Are you testing me, your mother? Already thinking on behalf of the girl’s family so quickly?" Mrs. Li tapped her son’s head, "It’s you who wants to marry the girl, how can you not lower your posture? You also said it, the girl’s brother feels we are too high in status and doesn’t want to reach beyond their station. If I don’t lower my status, the future daughter-in-law will belong to someone else, and you’ll have nowhere to cry."

Du Yu was embarrassed by his mother’s words and attentively poured another cup of tea.

"Mother, why would the Minister of Justice’s wife send us an invitation saying she’s coming to visit?" Ji Qiuyan was truly shocked and even doubted the authenticity of the invitation in her hand.

"Once Shuchen returns, we’ll find out." Ye Qiu had roughly guessed, and her heart was prepared. Although she didn’t want her little granddaughter to marry above her station, if the other party was sincere and willing to treat Xiu Fen well, it was worth considering.

On the following day, Mrs. Li, invited, visited and, seeing the small but clean and tidy yard, had a general understanding.

Ji Qiuyan was just an ordinary rural woman, welcoming such a high-ranked lady like Mrs. Li for the first time made her nervous, but she still maintained her composure without losing decorum.

"It’s an honor to have Mrs. Li visit my humble abode." She politely said.

"Oh no, having raised a son like Yang Tanhua is truly enviable!" Mrs. Li was slightly surprised looking at the average-looking Ji Qiuyan. Seeing Yang Tanhua’s looks, she thought Mrs. Ji were stunningly beautiful, but surprisingly she was just a common woman, only with skin fairer and smoother than the average, if not for her good skin, she would look even plainer. Thus, Mrs. Li had some doubt about the appearance of the girl her son fancied.

But upon seeing the rest of the Yang Family, she finally understood where Yang Tanhua got his good looks from.

"Are these Mrs. twins? They are truly adorable!" She looked at the two six or seven-year-olds with delight, her joy showing through.

Ji Qiuyan also smiled at the children: "The one in the goose-yellow dress is mine, and the one in the purple dress is my sister-in-law’s. They both take after their father, so they look similar. Many think they are twins just like you do!"

"They are truly adorable, Mrs. Li, such fortune!"

"Oh, I owe it to them taking after their father." This was what Ji Qiuyan was most grateful for; both she and her sister-in-law looked average, but thankfully the children took after their father and inherited the good looks from the Yang Family.

"I’ve heard Mrs. Li has an older daughter?" Having seen the two little children, and recalling Yang Tanhua’s appearance, Mrs. Li was even more curious about the girl her son fancied.

"Indeed, she is quieter than her younger sisters, staying in her room with her grandmother."

"Let me go and pay my respects to the Old Madam then." Mrs. Li led Ji Qiuyan indoors.

Ji Qiuyan, seeing her enthusiasm, was slightly surprised. Could it be that the high-ranking lady truly had her eyes set on her Xiu Fen? What should she do!

She believed her daughter could match anyone, but what if the other party didn’t think so? Her own family had no power, what if her daughter was at a disadvantage after marrying?

Having seen more of the world, Ji Qiuyan was no longer insistent on having her daughter marry high. She just wished for her safe and peaceful life, loved by her husband and without grievances. She had considered many families lately, finding faults here and there. Du Yu, that kid, she had seen a few times; his temperament, mind, and looks were all excellent, but just not matching with their family background.

But now that his mother had personally visited, should she still refuse?

She couldn’t decide and resolved to listen to her mother, as her mother’s decisions had never been wrong.
