Chapter 1013 - 1015: Dayong and His Niece_1
"Yes, yes, today is my little nephew’s big day, what are we showing off for?" Ms. Liu Junior’s sister was not content and still threw a barb at Ms. Luo.
The implication was clear: Just because you’ve brought a generous gift doesn’t mean you have to flaunt it.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Luo just tugged at the corner of her mouth and turned to speak with Ruoqiu.
At that moment, Yangyang inside the carriage started to cry.
"Ah ah..."
"Oh, are you hungry?" Yang Chuxia picked him up from the little carriage, noting the time and realizing that it was indeed his feeding time.
When she took a look at Little Lele, she found him also pouting his lips.
"Take Lele out, let’s go to the side room over there to feed them."
She certainly didn’t want to breastfeed in front of all these people, exposed.
Then, Li’s mother, Mingcui, and Ming Liu followed—some pushing the stroller, others grabbing clothes.
"Young Master Lele’s diaper needs changing," Li’s mother said, trailing behind them.
"Mhm, let’s change it later."
Once Yang Chuxia and her party left the room, Ms. Liu Junior’s maternal family exchanged looks, a mix of surprise and envy.
The niece of Yang Dayong really kept up quite a show—three servants had accompanied her just for this outing.
And as for the two babies, my goodness, the clothes they wore were so lovely! The necklaces they sported, were they made of gold? And those gold bracelets on their tiny wrists, how much must they be worth? Both kids also looked exceptionally handsome.
Ms. Liu Junior’s sister and sister-in-law had their eyes practically glued to them.
Ms. Luo, standing aside, saw this and thought disdainfully that they really had no class.

After lunch, relatives who had traveled far began to leave first.
However, Ms. Liu Junior’s family had not yet departed.
The Land Officer’s wife had wanted Yang Chuxia to sit for a while longer, but someone had come from home reporting that New Year’s goods had arrived from the Capital City.
Thus, Yang Chuxia had no choice but to take the two children and head back. Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu stayed to help wash dishes and such.
Ms. Liu Junior’s maternal family went over to her place to gossip.
"Tell me, second sister, who was the one in the pink clothes today, the niece of Dayong?" Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law asked.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Liu Junior immediately knew they were talking about Yang Chuxia and chuckled, "That one? She’s the wife of a prominent family from Wangquan Town, daughter of the third branch of the Yang Family, and the niece of her husband."
"So it was her! My, my, she’s incredibly pretty and dressed so well. And the pearls in her hair—that stuff is really expensive," she commented.
Ms. Liu Junior replied, "Her family has money. The jewelry she wore today is nothing compared to the precious stone hairpin she wore a few days ago, which I heard the niece’s husband brought back from the Capital City. And that fabric on her, some of it is even awarded by the Imperial Palace. Her husband’s family has relatives in the Capital City."
When talking about her husband’s relatives, Ms. Liu Junior naturally boasted, painting everything in the best light to bring honor and pride to herself.
Her own family members listened with a glint of envy in their eyes.
Ms. Liu Junior’s sister then said, "I saw your niece at your wedding, but I didn’t expect she already had a child."
Ms. Liu Junior replied, "Not only does she have children, but her two sons are even twins, and very handsome at that."
"When they left just now, I took a close look. You can tell at a glance they are from a wealthy family—no ordinary family could afford those clothes," her sister-in-law sighed.
However, she then inquired further, "Does this niece of yours have any concubines in her husband’s household?"
Ms. Liu Junior glanced at her sister-in-law and shook her head, "No, the niece and her husband are said to have grown up together and are very close to each other."
