Chapter 425 - 151: Luo Mingzhu (Part 2)
Luo Mingzhu looked at Loo Ying, who was dressed in riches, and then at Yueyao, who was modestly clad with only a few jade ornaments, a flicker of interest crossing her eyes.
Upon learning that it was the Heir’s Wife and the young lady from Marquis Jingning’s Residence, Loo Ying’s eyes lit up with an eager light. After all, Marquis Jingning’s Household was one of the most powerful and prestigious in the Capital City.
Madam Ping, having seen all sorts of people, recognized the glint in Loo Ying’s eyes and knew her temperament. Madam Ping smiled and plucked a gold hairpin from her hair to give to Loo Ying as a meeting gift, chiefly out of regard for Zhuang Ruolan.
Loo Ying’s face filled with joy.
Ruo Lan sighed softly beside her. Yueyao had received a valuable Jade Bracelet but did not wish to keep it, whereas Loo Ying was so thrilled over such a single gold hairpin—the stark difference was immediately apparent.
Luo Mingzhu looked at Loo Ying’s excited demeanor with disdain flashing in her eyes. She had seen too many who courted favor, and she most despised such people. Only with a comparison could the difference be discerned, and Luo Mingzhu actually found Yueyao’s earlier refusal of the Jadeite Bracelet from her sister-in-law quite extraordinary.
Madam Ping knew her younger concubine-born sister’s personality very well and was secretly pleased to see her show such interest.
Ruo Lan cheerfully said, "Yingying, Yueyao, why don’t you take Third Young Lady for a walk in the courtyard?" Clearly, Madam Ping had some private words she wanted to share with her.
Yueyao remained silent.
