Chapter 424 New Year’s Gift Request (2)_1
"So, what exactly do the Count and Countess mean? Will they agree to this marriage?"
Liu Tinglan nodded but then shook her head, her expression wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, "My father isn’t particularly satisfied with the man, but he can’t stand my mother’s constant nagging in his ear, so he can only go along with her wishes. They say the marital contract will be set next June and we’ll be married the year after."
Mo Yan couldn’t bear to see her like this and comforted her, "There are still several months to go, who knows what might change? Maybe in the end, your mother herself won’t be satisfied. Don’t worry too much about it yet."
She hadn’t seen the man, so she couldn’t judge whether he was good or not, nor if he could bring happiness to her good sister, so she couldn’t rashly speak well of him. She could only comfort her sister in this way to think positively.
The possibility was slim, but Liu Tinglan still appreciated her sister’s kindness and perked up, "It’s not often we get together; let’s not talk about such vexing matters. I’ve made a screen for you. I’ll show it to you now, and if you like it, you can take it home!"
With that, she stood up and opened the chest beside her, taking out a neatly folded screen.
Liu Tinglan, the only daughter of the Liu Family, had been doted on by her parents since childhood. Yet, the couple didn’t spoil her indiscriminately, they insisted she learn everything a young lady should, and learn well. Thus, not only was Liu Tinglan kind and virtuous, but her needlework, taught by a careful embroideress, was exquisite, and even her cooking skills were not lacking.
Mo Yan hadn’t expected her friend to put in such effort and quickly stood up to help, and upon seeing the screen’s embroidery, she couldn’t help exclaiming, "So beautiful!"
