Reborn Lady - Chapter 186

Yin Hui picked up Xiao Heng, smiled, and coaxed, “Xiao Heng, please be content, Dad had already promised you, the last time I asked him, he didn’t give me permission.” As she spoke, she got bitter and glanced at Wei Luo.

Wei Luo had to go and had no time to coax his son, so he signaled Yin Hui to take charge of that matter, turned, and left.

Xiao Heng looked at his father’s back and whispered to his mother, “Mom, when I grow up, I will take you out to play without Dad.”

Yin Hui was startled, and then kissed her son’s little cheek, saying, “Okay, I’ll be waiting for that day!”

In the afternoon, after Yin Hui had a rest, Wei Luo just came back. He was sweating from horse racing and hunting, and asked someone to prepare water in the yard.

Yin Hui was in a good mood and poured a bowl of warm tea for him.

Wei Luo drank it all in one gulp.

She looked at his expression and tried to ask, “How was it? Did you get anything good?”

Wei Luo said, “Two rabbits.”

Yin Hui smiled and said, “Rabbits are good, did you bring them back? I’ll let the kitchen braise them.”

In the past two years, she had become more refined in her eating habits and had influenced the way the kitchen prepared meals. Xiao Heng’s robust growth could be attributed to her efforts.

Looking at her, Wei Luo took a slow sip and said in a low voice, “You just know how to eat.”

That tone, coupled with the look in his eyes, was obviously teasing Yin Hui for being fat.

Which woman liked to hear others say that she was fat?

Yin Hui raised her foot and was about to leave.

Wei Luo grabbed her wrist and hugged her into his arms.

Yin Hui said coldly, “Come on, I’m too heavy, I’ll break your legs.”

A smile appeared in Wei Luo’s eyes, and he said in her ear, “The place that should be fat is just right.” 

Wei Luo started to move his hands and feet.

“Third Master, the water is ready,” Jinzhan reported from outside.

Hearing it, Wei Luo looked at Yin Hui and said, “Let’s go together.”

Yin Hui seized the opportunity to taunt him, “You just know…”

It was hard to say that; she gave him a look and let him experience it for himself.

Wei Luo was silent for a moment and said, “I also have something to tell you.”

Yin Hui’s heart moved.

Although the guy was greedy for that, he still wouldn’t lie to fool her about it. Could it be that something new happened in hunting?

Yin Hui followed Wei Luo to the bathroom on the west side.

The screen blocked the light outside, and the light and shade were just right. The two first enhanced their relationship as husband and wife. When they moved to the bathtub for a pure bath, Yin Hui tapped him with her foot, “Didn’t you have something to tell me?” At that time her face was charming like a begonia. Not to mention just tapping his legs with her feet, even if she tapped on Wei Luo’s face, he probably wouldn’t care.

Grabbing her feet and pulling her into his arms, Wei Luo played with her hair and said, “For today’s hunting, the Guo family brought another person besides the three brothers.” Yin Hui tilted her head, looked at him, and asked, “Who?”

Wei luo: “Zhou Tong, the cousin and nephew of General Guo, the grandson of Shu Pinghou.”

Yin Hui’s eyes widened in shock.

Wei Luo asked curiously, “Have you heard of him?”

She had certainly heard of him, and Zhou Tong was Wei Ying’s husband in her previous life.

At that time, she and Wei Ying were far less intimate than they got. They were like the unfamiliar and polite sister-in-laws in the mansion.

She knew about Wei Ying’s marriage from Ji Xianxian’s gossip, saying that the marriage was arranged by her father-in-law. Wei Ying seemed unwilling, but she couldn’t hold her father-in-law back, so she had to marry.

However, at that moment, facing Wei Luo’s doubts, Yin Hui had no choice but to find other reasons to explain her surprise, “Didn’t the Guo family brothers know that the third sister will also go? Why did they bring a stranger?”

Wei Luo said, “He is not considered a stranger; Zhou Tong is also a cousin of the Guo family.”

Yin Hui: “But you mentioned him specially, so there must be some reason?” Wei Luo looked at her speculative eyes and thought that marriage matters were more sensitive.

“I think what Father means is that he wants to marry my sister to Zhou Tong.”

Yin Hui had already calmed down and only reacted as a sister-in-law who had a good relationship with Wei Ying. She said suspiciously, “The Zhou family is far away in Shu. Father was reluctant to let your second sister marry far away. Will he be willing to let your third sister marry farther away than the eldest sister?”

From Pingcheng to Beijing, the journey was smooth, although the long distance was still convenient. However, going to Sichuan required crossing mountains and ridges. Everyone knew that the road to Shu was difficult.

Wei Luo said, “Let’s see what the old Marquis thinks. I hope that Zhou Tong and his brothers will stay in a few fortresses on the northern line. It’s okay if Zhou Tong didn’t go back. If Father decides that he should be his son-in-law, then naturally, he won’t let him go back to Shu.”

Yin Hui knew Zhou Tong went back in the previous life, and it must be what Wei Ying wanted. The silly girl blamed her father and would rather marry thousands of miles away so the father and daughter would never see each other again.

Two days later, Wei Ying came to find Yin Hui. Maybe she could see something from Yin Hui’s expression. Wei Ying’s eyes were red, and she smiled bitterly, “The third brother also saw what the father meant and told you, isn’t it?”

Zhou Tong was born in the Marquis of Shuping, so he was completely worthy of her. The third brother, like her father, must be thinking that it was a good marriage, so he told the third sister-in-law the good news.

Yin Hui nodded and asked with concern, “How are you?”

Wei Ying’s tears fell, saying, “You should know that I will not marry unless he is that person.”

Yin Hui wiped away her tears pityingly. “Even so, there is absolutely no possibility for you.”

Wei Ying used to be able to delay and avoid, but when her father was forcing her, she suddenly felt an impulse and looked at Yin Hui expectantly, like hope. With Yin Hui’s approval, she said in a slightly trembling voice, “Sister-in-law, tell me, my father loves me so much, if I tell him the truth, will he agree?”

Maybe her father would make an exception for her?

 Yin Hui looked at the clear water in Wei Ying’s eyes, and the majestic face of her father-in-law and Cui Yu’s figure appeared in her mind.

If Cui Yu was a bamboo, the father-in-law was a knife.

If the father-in-law got angry, he might be reluctant to touch his daughter, but what about Cui Yu?

The rumors heard in her previous life rang in Yin Hui’s ears again.

Cui Yu had made great contributions and even had a sister concubine and a nephew. If the rumors were false, why should he stay away from the capital and his close relatives?

So, were the rumors true?

So, Cui Yu was not a eunuch before, but because something happened, he became a eunuch halfway?

Her father-in-law regarded Cui Yu as half his son, so who dared to treat him like that?

Only the father-in-law himself!

At that thought, Yin Hui was dripping with cold sweat, subconsciously covered Wei Ying’s mouth, and said with a pale face, “You can’t say it, you must never say it. Once the father disagrees, Cui Yu will bear the anger of the father on your behalf!”

Deep fear also appeared in the tearful eyes, as the whole person trembled.

Yin Hui hugged her to comfort Wei Ying and comfort herself.

She was really frightened by the speculation, frightened by her father-in-law who might severely punish Cui Yu.

Wei Ying gradually stopped trembling, but she cried out, “Then I’ll just admit it? I only like him. If he wants me to marry Zhou Tong, I don’t want to, it’s not fair to him.”

Yin Hui didn’t have an answer; the knot was too complicated, and she didn’t know how to untie it.
