Chapter 1278 - 166, Adopted Daughter 2
She tilted her head, Lin Yuan said, "I found this book in a pile of books at a friend’s house next door. I’m not really sure where it’s sold. However, the Capital City is a place of splendid talents, so who’s to say which bookstore might have it? Madam could send someone to inquire at the bookstores. Oh right, since this book isn’t very mainstream, Madam had better look for it in those smaller, out-of-the-way shops."
"Many thanks for informing me, Miss Lin."
Having received the answer she wanted, the woman smiled and thanked her.
It was rare to meet such an understanding and reasonable woman; Lin Yuan reciprocated with a smile as well.
Walking slowly out with Lady Liu, Lady Liu whispered into her daughter’s ear, "How come you never mentioned this book before? Did you really see it at Chen Zhu’s place?"
Indeed, no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Lin Yuan chuckled mischievously and winked, "I knew I couldn’t hide it from mother’s eyes. These people, I made them all up."
That she could hoodwink a room full of women with a story she concocted was surprising, and Lady Liu chided her daughter with a look, uncertain whether to praise her cleverness or to lament the naivety of the other women.
The mother and daughter had just reached the doorway of the flower hall when they saw Princess Anle and two elegantly dressed Consorts approaching from a distance.
