Chapter 257
Seeing that she was really sad, Madam Hou and Luo Shuiyao looked at each other for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her.
Seeing that her emotions had gradually stabilized, Madam Hou spoke again, "As long as he can grow up safely, that's all that matters. Besides, Master Du just doesn't like talking to people. It's not a big problem. Why should you be so upset?"
She had children of her own, so she could understand the other person's feelings. But at this moment, no matter how much she said, it would be useless. She had to look forward to the future.
The Right Prime Minister's wife wiped her tears with her handkerchief again, nodded, and forced a smile as she said, "Of course I understand this, but every time I think about it, I can't help but feel sad. My son is also very handsome. If he didn't have this problem, how could he still not get married and start a family?"
Luo Shuiyao sat by and listened quietly. Thinking of the handsome and quiet man, she comforted him, "Mr. Du is smart, kind, and extremely talented. I think the wood carvings he makes are exquisite and incomparable. No one else can make them. He just doesn't like to talk, which is not a big problem. If he can meet a girl who understands and appreciates him, I believe they can live a happy life together."
She truly felt that way. After these two interactions, she felt the Right Prime Minister's wife was a particularly good person. Young Master Du seemed a bit like a modern-day autistic person. Although he didn't talk much, his words and actions were measured. His family must have played a significant role in raising him to be what he is today. In modern times, even those with disabilities or amputations can marry and start families, let alone Young Master Du. Looking closely, he was quite good in every way.
Upon hearing this, the Right Prime Minister's wife's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked anxiously, "Do you really think so?"
She was filled with surprise. She hadn't expected this girl to not only not despise her son for his condition, but actually speak so highly of him. Hope instantly ignited within her. Perhaps this girl and her son were truly destined to be together? Putting everything else aside, her unique perspective alone was far superior to anyone else's.
Seeing her so excited, Luo Shuiyao thought she had hit the nail on the head, so she smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Afraid she wouldn't believe him, he raised his wrist to show her the small-leaf red sandalwood bead bracelet he was wearing, and said, "Look, this was made by your son and given to me. It's so beautiful."
This is not an exaggeration at all. The beads of this bracelet are all uniform in size. What's even more amazing is that the texture of each bead is almost exactly the same, which shows that these beads are taken from the same circle of wood, and the person who cut them was also extremely careful. It can truly be called a fine product.
The Right Prime Minister's wife had known about the bracelet for a long time. After hearing this, she examined it carefully and said with a bit of infatuation, "He usually doesn't like to give his things away. You're the first one to give one. It makes me, as your mother, a little jealous."
She did feel a moment of jealousy when she said this, but more than that, she felt the joy of "my son has grown up." Her son knew to give the girl a bracelet, which was not easy. If her son suddenly changed for the better after they got married, she would have to worship the girl like a Buddha.
The Marquis' wife, on the other hand, watched from the side, her face filled with surprise. She had originally planned to take this girl Luo to the Right Prime Minister's residence to see if she could be favored by them, but she hadn't held high hopes for this matter, and she hadn't expected it to be so easy.
The girl accepted the bracelet without a word, and the Marquis' wife couldn't help but doubt herself. Could it be that the rumors were all false? The girl Luo had no feelings for her son, otherwise how could she accept the bracelet so calmly?
Thinking of this, she tentatively asked, "Yaoyao, are you accepting this bracelet voluntarily?"
Although she was not very willing to let this girl be her daughter-in-law, and felt that in terms of status, this girl was indeed not worthy of her outstanding eldest son, but she also knew in her heart that this girl was a good girl.
The Right Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed a place of great power and wealth for Miss Luo, but his son did have some flaws. On the one hand, she hoped that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion would value her, but on the other hand, she also hoped that she would at least go there willingly, not under duress from the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, she would be sorry for both the Marquis and the child's deceased father.
Luo Shuiyao saw that her expression was not right. Although she didn't understand why, she thought about it and nodded and said, "This bracelet is very good. I like it very much." This indirectly showed that she was really willing to accept the bracelet.
Although she accepted the bracelet at the time purely because she saw that Master Du was too stubborn and would hold his hands up and refuse to leave unless she accepted it, but now the Right Prime Minister's wife was here, how could she say such a thing? So she could only say it like this.
Upon hearing this, the Marquis's wife was finally relieved. A genuine smile appeared on her face, and she said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."
Upon hearing this, the Right Prime Minister's wife was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I've had someone check, and tomorrow's You hour is a very good time. The Lord is very happy. Yaoyao, what do you think?"
Luo Shuiyao was bewildered upon hearing this, not understanding what she meant. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, the Marquis's wife pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Youshi is a good time, a perfect time to ask about etiquette."
As she spoke, she feigned displeasure at the Right Prime Minister's wife and continued, "Look, why don't you just ask me? Why ask a little girl? She hasn't experienced these things, so what can she know?"
The young girl was very shy. Back when she was discussing marriage with her husband, the elders in her family asked for her opinion, and she was too shy to speak. She didn't know whether she should agree or not. After all, she was an experienced person, so she naturally knew what a young girl of that age was thinking. So she spoke before Luo Shuiyao could respond, so as to save Luo Shuiyao from embarrassment.
Seeing this, the Right Prime Minister's wife looked a little ashamed and said quickly, "It's my fault. I forgot that girls are shy. In that case, let's make it a deal."
Having said this, she could no longer contain herself. She stood up and said goodbye to the Marquis' wife, "I will go back and prepare now. I have much to do tomorrow. I hope you will not blame me for disturbing me today."
