Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!-Chapter 1321: Jealousy

Zhulan was startled by Lady Li’s cry of surprise, dropping the book she was holding onto the ground. She patted her chest, it had been a long time since she heard Lady Li scream for mom like that. Her heart suddenly started beating fast, and when she finally caught her breath, she raised her voice, "In broad daylight, do you want to scare someone to death? What happened that made you lose your composure?"

Lady Li had run all the way back, gesticulating wildly, pointing towards the door stammering, "Mi-Mingyun, they’re back."

Zhulan was stunned for a moment, "This kid comes back without sending a young servant to notify us in advance. Look at you, so beside yourself with joy that you’re stuttering."

Finally, Lady Li stopped stammering, patting her chest, "Mom, Ran Wan is pregnant, I’m going to be a grandmother, and you’re going to be a great-grandmother."

Zhulan just picked up the book and it dropped to the ground again, "What? What did you say?"

Seeing her mother-in-law’s dumbfounded look, Lady Li’s excited heart calmed down in an instant, she squatted down to pick up the book and put it on the table, "I said Ran Wan is pregnant."

Zhulan stood up abruptly, "You are such a worrywart! You rushed back yourself; what’s the meaning of this? Come on, let’s go greet them quickly."

Lady Li felt a bit wronged, "I was scared, then I thought about bringing you the good news and ran back."

Zhulan didn’t want to listen to what Lady Li had to say anymore, her mind was in a haze. She’s going to be an elder? Life is truly amazing. She had been prepared since Mingyun got married, but now that the next generation was really coming, she was still shocked.

Lady Li followed behind her mother-in-law, who hadn’t walked this fast in a long time. Then her face twisted a bit, thinking about how embarrassing it was to have run in front of her daughter-in-law.

Lady Li instructed the maid by her side, "Send someone to congratulate the eldest."

Her husband is at the villa, and ever since their son got married, he has been longing for a grandson. Now that the grandson is coming, her husband’s wish is fulfilled.

Mingyun and Ran Wan were slowly walking towards the back courtyard, as Ran Wan had vomited again and had little strength left, her entire weight leaning on Mingyun.

Mingyun thought of her mother’s reaction; it was really beyond his expectations. She screamed and ran off, her plump body moving especially fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye, "Mother is just too happy."

Ran Wan understood her mother-in-law’s personality very well, her eyes curving into a smile, "Mother must have gone to give great-grandma the good news."

Mingyun laughed, his mother was just shocked and had to share the shock.

Zhulan saw Mingyun and his spouse, well, to be exact, her gaze was only on Ran Wan. Her heart ached, "Oh my, Wanwan, you’ve suffered, your little face has gotten so thin you have a pointed chin."

She looked so spirited when she left, but returned looking like a withered eggplant.

Ran Wan, enduring the discomfort, said, "Grandma, I’m okay."

Zhulan said, "Don’t force yourself if you’re feeling uncomfortable. You don’t have to come back with me to the main courtyard. Mingyun, quickly take Wanwan back to your courtyard to rest, and yes, call the doctor over to take a look."

Lady Li was staring at her daughter-in-law’s belly with joy, she’s becoming a grandmother, "Right, go and rest. I’ll make you something delicious."

Mingyun said, "Mother, Ran Wan can’t eat anything."

Lady Li with her childbirth experience said, "No problem, when you’re home with mom around, I’ll ensure your wife will gain weight. Just you wait."

Mingyun had confidence in his mother, "Mhm."

Zhulan gave a few more reminders and didn’t follow to disturb Ran Wan’s rest. If she went, Ran Wan would have to stiffly talk with her despite feeling unwell. What she needed to do was send someone to the Ran family with the good news.

Yes, she also had to inform the old man, he’s going to be a great-grandfather. The generation grows so quickly.

In a while, the entire Zhou family knew the next generation was coming. Yushuang and the girls were already discussing what gifts to give their future nephew or niece. Ah, it’s their first time being aunts, all of them quite excited.

As for the boys, they were much more casual about it, the only feeling was that their seniority had increased.

Only Chang Zhong arrived at the main courtyard, pointing at himself in disbelief, "Mom, am I going to be a granduncle?"

My heavens, that’s quite a senior generational leap.

Zhulan paused eerily silent for a few seconds, "Hmm, you’ve ascended to the status of a grandfather now."

Chang Zhong felt as if he were in a daze, "It’s somewhat like a dream."

Zhulan, caressing her son’s head, her son who is mature beyond his years, found it rare for him to be overwhelmed, "You’re not dreaming, in just eight more months the child will be born."

Chang Zhong came back to his senses, calculating when the child grows a little older, "Mother, I will teach my eldest grandson in the future."

Zhulan held back, but still couldn’t help laughing out loud, Chang Zhong was about to become a grandfather.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was stunned upon hearing the news, ah, he’s about to become a great-grandfather, tsk tsk, this damned ancient era, the modern era is much better, he rubbed his forehead and thought of his grandsons marrying one after another, he couldn’t bear thinking further, the children in the future would only be more numerous.

The Zhou family was founded by him, and now the branches are becoming more and more lush; he can imagine just how populous the Zhou family will be in the future, luckily there were no concubines, if there were concubines, there would only be more children.

In the evening when Zhou Shuren got home, the old couple sat in silence; Zhulan stretched out her hands, taking quite a while before speaking up, "I’m still very young, look at my skin, it’s still so pale."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, that’s because she’s plump, "I also feel very young, nimble in the legs and feet, living for dozens more years wouldn’t be a problem."

Zhulan felt, "That’s a bit of an exaggeration."

Dozens of years was indeed a bit much.

Zhou Shuren coughed, "Striving to be one of those ’people who can live for a long time’ is still possible."

This time, Zhulan laughed, "Mhm."

Zhou Shuren thought of the eldest’s smile tonight, "Eldest has become a grandfather, he looked so goofy laughing."

Zhulan also found joy, "Mhm, quite goofy indeed. Chang Zhong’s reaction was also interesting, he’s become a grandfather too."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, the Zhou family collectively advanced in generational rank, "This child will have many elders to love him!"

Zhulan, "..."

All afternoon she had listened to several grandsons say they would provide enlightenment for the child once born; this amount of affection, she felt, the great-grandchild might not even want, girls are better—they can only be spoiled.

The following day, after a night’s rest, Zhou Shuren was filled with nothing but joy, the joy for the next generation’s arrival, a sign of the Zhou family’s prosperity.

The Emperor could feel Zhou Shuren’s joy from his throne, the Emperor was very busy, so busy that he hadn’t paid attention to the Zhou family for a long time, he truly didn’t know that Zhou Mingyun had returned to the capital.

After the early morning court session, Wong Ju sidled over, "What great joy does your family have?"

That shouldn’t be, their two families were in very good terms, and the mistress often visited the Zhou household, there shouldn’t be joyful news he was unaware of.

Zhou Shuren smiled unbashfully, "Ah, Mingyun has returned to the capital."

Wong Ju felt a tinge of envy, the Zhou family boys are indeed plentiful, and each one of them is quite remarkable, some of them enough to evoke envy, "You are truly fortunate."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Ah, I am fortunate indeed, I’m about to become a great-grandfather, a senior generation."

Wong Ju, "..."

Envy makes people ugly, he is not envious, not envious my ass, he’s dying of envy, why do the Zhou family kids come so quickly, while the Wong family struggles so much!

Wong Ju thought of the string of Zhou grandchildren and finally couldn’t contain his envious ugliness!
