Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

eply, she grabbed her hand and strode into a clothing store.

Chu Jiu tried to refuse.
“The Empress has already bought me a dress when we were in the Yan Kingdom, so I have enough to wear.
You don’t have to waste money on me anymore, Madam…”

“I wouldn’t call it a waste of money at all! Chen’s decided that you’re the one for him, so that makes you my future daughter-in-law.
Isn’t it natural that I buy clothes for my future daughter-in-law?” Ling Lihua interrupted her, beaming.

Mortified by her enthusiasm, Chu Jiu could not stop herself from turning beet red as she protested, “Madam, I’m not your daughter-in-law, please don’t—”

Ling Lihua patted her hand and gazed at her with the warmth and kindness of an older woman.
“I know it’s still a little too early to say that, but Chen’s never cared so much for a girl before.
If you don’t detest him, I suggest you give him a chance.

“Chen’s my son, so maybe you’ll think I’m just sticking up for him no matter what I say, but I still have to say this very shamelessly—he’s a wonderful young man who’s absolutely capable of giving a woman a happy life.
He’s neither arrogant nor impetuous, he leads an honest and clean life, and he also has a great sense of responsibility.
For young men his age, a specimen like him is hard to come by.
If you marry him, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
He’ll treat you well and shower you with all his affection.”

Chu Jiu listened awkwardly as Ling Lihua praised Lu Tingchen to the heavens.

However, she could not deny that Lu Tingchen was truly a good man—the Duchess had not exaggerated things at all.

A flurry of mixed emotions instantly arose in her heart.

“He may have upset you a few times, but it’s because he’s never pursued a girl before.
He doesn’t have any experience in this area, so he ends up being pushy, which I understand will be unpleasant for you.
But he means no harm—he just wants to marry you really badly,” Ling Lihua explained in slight frustration.

Despite Chu Jiu’s embarrassment, she had to admit that the Duchess had just perfectly described Lu Tingchen’s behavior for the past few days.

After thinking for a moment, she swallowed her shyness and said softly, “I understand what you mean, Madam.
I don’t blame the Heir Presumptive.
As for your suggestion… I’ll think about it.”

Hearing this, Ling Lihua knew that her explanations had not been in vain.

Besides, Chu Jiu was different from other young women.
Although she was shy, she did not avoid the subject.

Ling Lihua was very much impressed by her personality.
