Reborn Lady - Chapter 28

Wei Yan was sympathetic to beauties, so he felt sorry for his wife again, and persuaded, “Mother, the matter is over, so don’t be angry. Father has resumed my work, so I’ll behave well, and strive to make up for it. We will add another child to our family soon. Once the child is born, my father will be happy, how could he remember such a small thing?” 

Li Fangfei looked at her daughter-in-law’s big belly, and finally stopped. 

Wei Yan was going to work, and Erlang had school, so the father and son left first.

Ji Xianxian stayed to talk with her mother-in-law. Seeing that Concubine Li was no longer so angry, she said innocently, “Mother, I was actually tricked by Yin Hui. She was so honest before. No matter how I taunted her, she didn’t dare to say a word, but she dared to talk back to me that day, just to set me up. I accidentally underestimated the enemy and fell for her trick. If she was like Xu Qingwan from the beginning to the end, she must have been on guard against me for a long time.” 

Concubine Li snorted, recalling Yin Hui’s performance recently, and agreed to Ji Xianxian’s words, “Not just you, I was deceived by her. She used to be cowardly because she had no confidence, and pretended to be a lamb with everyone. Now Wu Lang is getting bigger, so she had a foothold in the palace, and began to reveal her treacherous nature as a businessman. She is so flattering to the princess and Wei Ying now. With such scheming, you can’t beat her.” 

Ji Xianxian didn’t take it seriously, “I don’t need to fight her. What is her background? What is Mrs. Wen’s background? Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are cheap. Even if Mrs. Wen gets a few more favors, could she surpass you? Even if Yin Hui was on good terms with Wei Ying, she is still from the most humble background of the wives. What she wants to fight for is nothing more than to be equal to us.” 

Li Fangfei said, “That being said, she caused you to fall, so you can’t let her go.” 

Ji Xianxian: “Well, mother, don’t worry. My ban has just been lifted, so I shouldn’t do anything now, but she will suffer later.” 

Because of the common sting in the eyes, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had returned to harmony. 

Yin Hui got out again to meet Concubine Xu. The Mid-Autumn Festival was about to come. It was only natural for her to give gifts to her natal family. Guo Fangfei also brought the pair of children back to her natal family as guests, so she did not show her specialness. 

Mrs. Wen didn’t give her any presents that time. After all, returning to her mother’s house was rare once a year, but if it was several times a year, it would be quite a hassle if she had to give her gifts every time. 

Yin Yong remembered that his granddaughter was coming back, so he didn’t travel far in the past few days, and was wholeheartedly waiting for his granddaughter. 

Yin Hui thought about what to say to her grandfather on the way. 

“Grandfather, have you thought about what kind of family you want to find for my sister?” Yin Hui asked softly when she accompanied her grandfather to visit the garden. 

Yin Yong wondered, “Why did you suddenly ask about this?” 

Yin Hui didn’t hide anything, “Last time when I came back, I sat with my aunt and sister for a while. My aunt meant by her words at that time that there were so many talented people around the prince, and she hoped that I could help my sister make a connection. If my sister could marry a young official, she and my brother-in-law could help me and the third master. Oh, these are the original words of my aunt, I didn’t add more.” 

Yin Yong’s face sank. . 

For so many years, the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao hated them saying he was partial to Ah Hui. How could she have cared for Ah Hui? Even about the marriage with Prince Yan’s mansion, Mrs. Zhao did not hesitate to spread rumors outside to slander her in order to let him arrange for his eldest granddaughter to marry the third master instead. For the reason that Mrs. Zhao was helping the Yin family, Yin Yong only punished her to live in Zhuangzi for three months. Since Mrs. Zhao expected Ah Hui to help the eldest granddaughter get married, it would all be for her to climb high branches, not to help Ah Hui or even the third master.

Mrs. Zhao was short-sighted, and her eldest granddaughter Yin Rong was also vain and snobbish. If she really became the wife of an official, the couple would only cause trouble for Ah Hui and the third master. 

“Don’t listen to her, unless it’s about profit, no decent official would marry a merchant woman as his wife. Even if he marries for profit, the man may not treat her sincerely. So I never thought of marrying you both to any official. I won’t hide it, I have wronged you…” Looking at his little granddaughter who had already had her hair in a bun (married woman), Yin Yong said with pity. 

Everyone envied him as he became in-laws with King Yan, but only he knew in his heart that his little granddaughter would definitely be wronged.  

With the wealth of the Yin family, looking around the world, any young son from a wealthy business family would happily marry his little granddaughter. 

Yin Hui could only comfort the old man, “Grandfather, you got serious. I don’t feel wronged, especially after having Xiao Heng, the life in the palace is much more fulfilling.”

Yin Yong nodded, “No matter who you marry, you can live your life by yourself. Ah Hui, you’re so good, I believe that the third master will like you gradually. You only need to serve the third master and take care of your child, and you don’t need to worry about family matters. Don’t worry, just wait, I’ll settle your sister’s marriage before this year, and I promise I won’t let them bother you and the third master.”
