Chapter 449

Niu Yaodi is Dong Zhuo's daughter-in-law, and since Niu Fu is a close relative of Dong Zhuo, he is naturally closer to her than outsiders are.

According to Dong Yi, it was her sister-in-law, Niu Yaodi, who had originally intended to play matchmaker between her and Niu Fu.

It's just that...

She didn't expect Duan Yu to cut in and steal the prize.

"Sister-in-law." Duan Yu greeted Niu Yaodi as he looked at her.

Niu Yaodi, who was about twenty-five or twenty-six, smiled slightly and bowed in greeting.

Afterward, Dong Zhuo's mother—Dong Yi's grandmother—slowly stepped out of the carriage.

As Dong Yi's grandmother stepped out, a young man also climbed down from a carriage behind hers.

The young man was in his early twenties, wearing a sable fur cloak over a purple silk robe.

His hair was tied up with a golden crown, and a sword with a gilded scabbard inlaid with gemstones hung at his waist.

As soon as the young man stepped down, he hurried to the side of Dong Yi's grandmother's carriage.

He reached out to support her.

"Grandmother." Dong Yi also stepped forward to greet her grandmother, who looked to be in good spirits, and performed a kneeling kowtow.

The white-haired Lady Dong stepped forward and reached out to help Dong Yi up first: "Yi'er..."

Lady Dong's eyes filled with tears as she held Dong Yi's hands: "No need to kneel, no need to kneel. You are with child, and it is freezing out here; there is no need to kneel."

Dong Yi wiped away her emotional tears, nodded, and then looked at the young man beside Lady Dong, addressing him: "Brother."

Dong Zhuo had an older brother named Dong Zhuo and a younger brother named Dong Min.

Dong Zhuo had a son, Dong Zhuo's nephew, named Dong Huang.

Dong Huang first glanced at Dong Yi, then turned his gaze toward Duan Yu.

It just so happened that Duan Yu was also stepping forward to pay his respects to Lady Dong.

"Grandmother has had a tiring journey. Your grandson-in-law, Duan Yu, greets you." Duan Yu stepped forward, intending to kneel.

"No need, no need." Lady Dong smiled as she looked Duan Yu up and down.

She nodded with great satisfaction: "I heard your father-in-law praise you in his letters, saying you were a man of great talent, and it is indeed true."

"It is Yi'er's good fortune to have found a husband like you."

"Get up, quickly get up."

As Duan Yu stood up, he bowed and said: "Grandmother is too kind. It is my good fortune to have found Yi'er."

"I feel deeply guilty for having Grandmother travel such a long distance, but I have been busy with official duties since taking office..."

"You know you have the nerve to say that?"

Before Duan Yu could finish his sentence, a cold, disdainful voice rang out:

"If it weren't for our Dong family, you'd still be holed up in Jinyang."

"Coming to Liangzhou and not visiting Grandmother at the ancestral home in Lintao is one thing, but when Grandmother comes here, you don't even go ten miles out to welcome her."

"Is this your filial piety? Is this how you repay our Dong family?" Dong Huang looked at Duan Yu with contempt.

"Huang'er, stop this nonsense. Apologize to Ziyi at once."

Lady Dong quickly interrupted Dong Huang, striking her cane heavily against the ground.

Dong Huang turned his head away, his face sullen: "Grandmother, I'm only speaking the truth." ===== CHAPTER 451 =====
