Reborn Lady - Chapter 306
In the Shu Mansion, Yin Hui sat by the window, quietly watching the pattering rain outside. It was Er Lang’s thirteenth birthday in the Chu Mansion, and it rained on that day in her previous life. The cousins Wen Ruyue and Wei Luo also came back in that time frame. At that time, Wen Ruyue’s appearance caught her by surprise.
But at the time, she was all set. Xiao Heng and Xiao Xun would go to the Chu Mansion for dinner, and she sent Xiao Zhuang there as well, lest her daughter hear something she shouldn’t hear. When Jinzhan and Yinzhan came over with strange expressions and told her that Chang Feng brought back a cousin girl, Yin Hui just smiled and went to the hall to meet the guest as if nothing had happened.
Speaking of which, it had been ten years since she and Wen Ruyue saw each other. The person she had almost forgotten what she looked like appeared, dressed in white, kneeling down, shedding tears—the scene mirrored that of the previous life. Yin Hui’s memory of that time became vivid once again.
She was so angry at that time—angry that Wei Luo would accept her as a concubine without even telling her. She looked at Wen Ruyue with a peaceful mood and heard her say those few words pitifully, “Princess, don’t blame me for making such claims. I really have nowhere to go but to my cousin. Please take me in. I promise to be a concubine in peace and never compete with you for favor.”
“Cousin, don’t cry, wait for Prince Shu to come back and listen to his arrangements, get up first.”
Yin Hui signaled Jinzhan and Yinzhan to help Wen Ruyue up.
Wen Ruyue looked suspiciously at Princess Shu, Yin Hui, who was sitting on the main seat through her teary eyes.
According to the legend, the number one beauty in Pingcheng, Wen Ruyue, had long been prepared for Yin Hui’s beauty, but she didn’t understand why Yin Hui wasn’t angry at all after hearing her plea.
When Xue Huan first mentioned taking a concubine, Wen Ruyue was so angry that she regarded that concubine as an enemy.
Yin Hui spoke some polite words with ease and asked Jinzhan to send Wen Ruyue to the guest room to rest.
When Wei Luo returned to the mansion in the evening, Yin Hui didn’t get angry that time and went to the front yard when she got the news. As soon as she walked to the corridor, she saw Wei Luo and Wen Ruyue walking from the south. Wei Luo was expressionless, and Wen Ruyue followed him step by step.
When they reached the eaves of the corridor, Wei Luo watched Yin Hui stop. Wen Ruyue walked over timidly and saluted Yin Hui, saying, “This commoner pays respects to the Princess.”
“So polite.”
After speaking, Yin Hui looked at Wei Luo. Wei Luo avoided her gaze, glanced at Wen Ruyue, and said to Yin Hui, “My cousin has come a long way. Ask someone to clean up a yard for her, and then choose a few maidservants to serve her.”
Yin Hui nodded with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, Yin Hui suggested, “How about Zhufeng Hall? It’s closer.”
Since he wanted to take care of his cousin, it was not easy to arrange for her to be in a remote place, which would make her appear distant. He still wanted to take a bath, so he let them eat first and went to the study room by himself.
Yin Hui made some arrangements and then went to have dinner with Wen Ruyue.
Wei Luo was not there, and Wen Ruyue didn’t seem to have anything to say to her.
After eating and waiting for a while, seeing that Wei Luo hadn’t come back, Wen Ruyue had no choice but to go back to the guest room to rest.
Yin Hui kept waiting for the children. But before the three children returned from the Chu Mansion, Wei Luo came out from the study.
It was different from her previous life when she waited until Xiao Heng returned home to sleep before coming to the backyard.
“The children haven’t come back yet?” Wei Luo sat beside her and asked while looking outside.
Just in the study room, An Shun’er told him about Er Lang’s gathering.
Yin Hui nodded and looked ahead.
Wei Luo’s eyes fell on her face.
She was waiting for him to speak, but after waiting for a long time, he didn’t mention anything about taking a concubine. Instead, he asked An Shun’er to go to the kitchen to serve his dinner.
Yin Hui glanced at him and said, “Eat slowly and wait for the children. I’ll go to bed first.”
By the time Wei Luo raised his head, Yin Hui had already walked out. Once the children came back, they were very happy to see their father, but it was late. Wei Luo patted their heads one by one and sent the children back to their rooms in person.
It was dark at night, and Wei Luo walked slowly to the backyard. Upon arrival, he noticed that the lights were still on inside. Continuing forward, Wei Luo entered.
Yin Hui was already lying down, awake. As Wei Luo approached the bed, Yin Hui looked over. Her eyes were cold and calm, lacking the joy and enthusiasm one might expect in a long-lost reunion.
In fact, when they had met in the front yard at dusk, the smile in her eyes already carried a sense of alienation. What had his cousin said?
Wei Luo sat down and reached out to shake her hand. However, Yin Hui instinctively avoided it. Wei Luo raised his eyebrows in response.
At that moment, Yin Hui decided not to pretend anymore and spoke on his behalf, saying, “You don’t have to be embarrassed. You simply want to take your cousin as a concubine. She has already told me, and I’ve thought about it all afternoon. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother all have side concubines. If you wish to take your childhood sweetheart as a concubine, why should I object? Don’t worry; I will organize a banquet for you and your cousin shortly. Or if you prefer, we can make it more grand, and I’ll even send invitations to big brother and others.”
Although her words sounded virtuous and generous, her blunt tone and displeased expression revealed to Wei Luo that she was unwilling.
Wei Luo recalled the time when she bit his shoulder and the turbulent tears shed that night. When she disliked him for not being gentle enough and misunderstood that he didn’t like her, she expressed her frustration in that way. If he took his cousin as a concubine, how uncomfortable would it be for Yin Hui?
“You’re talking nonsense again. Who said I want to take a concubine?” Wei Luo grabbed her hand and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Yin Hui was stunned.
