The Second Madam Luo thought it was indeed true; it was said back then that the new top scholarâs two sons were granted names by the Emperor. It caused a lot of people in the Capital City to be extremely envious, and there were even those who wanted to marry into the Ye Family. These young children were granted names, indicating their prospects were surely bright.
Wasnât that the result? The Eldest was made a prince at such a young age, a level that many families canât reach even in a lifetime.
Though the princely title was earned due to their fatherâs merit, it was still a princely title, ranking just below those in the imperial family, only surpassed by that child.
The Second Madam Luoâs eyes were deep and her mind was swirling with thoughts, making Yang Chuxia knit her brows in concern.
Old Madam Luo was very displeased with this second daughter-in-law who always wanted to establish familial ties with the Ye Family, but this wasnât the time to discuss it.
Thus, the conversation was steered back to Linyu, and she asked, "Madam Ye, about Linyu?"
Upon hearing she wanted to see Linyu again, Yang Chuxia felt agitated. The maid sent to find Linyu hadnât returned yet, and she didnât know if Linyu wanted to see these people. If not, she would quickly dismiss them.
"Are you looking for Cousin?" Yangyang asked upon hearing.
Old Madam Luo nodded at this.
Yangyangâs eyes twinkled, and he suddenly raised his hands and clapped a few times, shouting loudly, "Letâs invite our familyâs fairy, my cousin, oh come, clap your hands to welcome her."
He clapped his hands noisily and didnât forget to get others to join in.
"Hey, that aunt, clap your hands." Seeing Luo Linfei didnât move, he pointed, "Our familyâs fairy is about to appear."
Yang Chuxia was at a loss for words regarding her sonâs actions. She felt that everyone present thought the same as she did.
Judging by Luo Linfeiâs twisted expression, one could imagine it.
"You little rascal, you made me wait this long, just for you to call me a fairy?" Luo Linyu entered leisurely with two maids.
She was clad in a goose-yellow silk gown that reached her chest, paired with a pink and blue arm scarf, making her appear charming and beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, an icy jade complexion, and a willow-like waist, she was a standard beauty, with looks considered top-tier even in the vast Capital City. Despite being raised outside for so many years, she hadnât lost her innate nobility.
Old Madam Luo observed and found her even more beautiful than her own legitimate granddaughter, more refined than Luo Linfei, and more similar to a prestigious familyâs legitimate young lady.
Old Madam Luo felt uncomfortable; why did that wretched womanâs descendants surpass her own in every way? She was eager to see Linyu, partly to see how she had turned out after so many years outside, but the greater her hope, the greater her disappointment.
If she felt this way, it was even more so for Ms. Li of the Luo Family and her daughter, as Luo Linfeiâs eyes were filled with such jealousy, they seemed close to madness.
"Oh my, auntie, could you not stare at my cousin like that? Itâs quite scary." With Yangyangâs reminder, Ms. Li realized her daughterâs inappropriate behavior and involuntarily tugged at her.
"Did you both arrive early?" Yang Chuxia asked casually.
"Indeed!" Luo Linyu sat down to the side and pulled Yangyang closer, gently tugging at his cheeks, saying, "Yangyang told me to wait outside a bit until he called me in, saying he wanted to surprise me. Who knew it was just a single word âfairyâ, causing my expectations for nothing."
"Cousin, donât tug, donât tug." Yangyang pulled at her hands while saying, "This face of mine is so handsome, donât ruin it."
