Reborn Lady - Chapter 315
Taking advantage of the cool morning, Yin Hui took Wen Ruyue to stroll around the garden of the Shu Mansion.
Xiao Ning also joined them. She was very familiar with every part of the garden. Whenever they went, she would point to the plaque on the pavilion or waterside pavilion and tell her new aunt about it.
Wen Ruyue smiled and boasted to Yin Hui, “Ning Ning is so smart; she has memorized so many places. Can she also recognize characters?”
Speaking of which, when Xiao Heng was first young, it was Yin Hui who taught him how to read and count. When it was Xiao Xun’s turn, Xiao Heng was already able to be his younger brother’s teacher, and he was also attached to his elder brother. He lay beside his elder brother and watched while his elder brother did his homework, and followed him to recognize characters. With Xiao Ning, the two elder brothers were very useful, playing with and teaching their sister. Because of that, Yin Hui was getting more relaxed.
Wen Ruyue saw on Yin Hui’s face the tenderness and happiness that belonged only to a mother.
Not only that, besides having three lively and lovely children, Yin Hui was also an incomparably noble princess, a Princess who completely took over her husband’s favor.
A woman, before she got married, was the daughter of the richest family, and after she got married, she enjoyed the honor of being a Princess, and her status was getting higher.
Wen Ruyue couldn’t contain the envy in her heart.
She also lived in the Yan Palace and was familiar with the back house of the palace. At that time, Princess Xu was noble enough, but she had to share King Yan’s favor with four concubines.
Xu Qingwan was born into an honorable family, and she married her cousin as a wife. Her mother-in-law was her aunt, so she didn’t face the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law typical conflicts, but she was not beautiful enough, and Wei Yang also had a concubine.
Ji Xianxian came from a good background and was beautiful, but in the end, her beauty didn’t convince Wei Yan to give her his whole heart. He also got a maid with a nice voice from the garden to be his concubine.
With so many noble ladies in the capital, Yin Hui was only inferior to Empress Xu in the palace. In other aspects, she was not the most outstanding among the five concubines. Even her natal family, which was once looked down upon by others, now had a title.
Wen Ruyue felt envious and jealous, but she no longer had the qualifications to compete with Yin Hui. Not only that, for the future, she also had to please Yin Hui.
No matter how much her aunt loved her, living in the palace, she couldn’t manage her marriage. Her cousin was a busy man, cold-hearted, so he had no time and energy to choose a husband for her. Most likely, he would entrust this matter to Yin Hui, the madam of the mansion. In her hands, he would probably believe whoever Yin Hui praised was good. Therefore, in order to be able to marry a good man in her second marriage, Wen Ruyue could only show courteousness in front of Yin Hui all the time.
After strolling around for a while, the three of them entered a gazebo.
A peony was planted outside the pavilion, and it was in full bloom at that time, with a few butterflies dancing among the flowers.
The young servant girl brought tea over, and Jinzhan took it into the pavilion to serve the masters.
At that time, the guard sent someone to pass the message, saying that Princess Chu had her daughter arrived.
Yin Hui knew that the news of them accompanying Wen Ruyue into the palace to greet her mother-in-law must have spread, and Ji Xianxian would come to the door.
“Invite Princess Chu over here directly,” Yin Hui smiled and instructed the young maid who sent the message.
The young maid took orders and went.
Yin Hui said to Wen Ruyue, “Princess Chu is the Second Sister-in-law. When I married, I often heard her recall the sisterhood between you two. Now that you are here, she will be very happy.”
Wen Ruyue laughed very stiffly.
What kind of sisterhood did she have with Ji Xianxian?
Wen Ruyue was just eleven years old when Ji Xianxian first married into the Yan Palace, and the two had indeed lived together in the Yan Palace for about four years. It stood to reason that Wen Ruyue lived there for a longer time, and Ji Xianxian was a newcomer, so she should maintain the most basic etiquette in front of her, being gentle and polite was the way of a bride.
But Ji Xianxian was completely different from Xu Qingwan. After entering the door, she was even more arrogant than the Second Princess Wei Shan, and sometimes even treated Wen Ruyue as a maid. In those few years, what Wen Ruyue hated the most was Ji Xianxian.
Now that she had fallen into such a place, a widow and a dependent, Ji Xianxian would gloat at her misfortune.
“Sister-in-law, I don’t want to see any guests yet. I’ll go back first, can I?” Wen Ruyue begged with her head down, making a distressed look.
Yin Hui was surprised at first, then showed a considerate expression of understanding and said softly, “Well, Cousin, go back to rest first, and I will explain clearly to Princess Chu for you.”
Wen Ruyue clenched her fingers, bit her lips and said, “If Princess Chu asks, can you only say that I lost my husband, and the rest…”
Yin Hui said with pity, “Don’t worry, Cousin, I understand everything. I won’t say anything more.”
Wen Ruyue shed tears, not because she was grateful to Yin Hui for anything, but because she regretted that she had married the wrong person by a mistake back then, which led to her current situation.
Thanking Yin Hui again, Wen Ruyue wiped her tears and left.
After Ji Xianxian led Xiao Zhuang and walked for more than a quarter of an hour before arriving at the gazebo where Yin Hui and her daughter were resting, Wen Ruyue had long since disappeared.
The sun was already a little hot. Ji Xianxian came in and sat down on the stone bench next to Yin Hui. Her beautiful face was flushed, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead and nose.
Yin Hui just thought it was funny.
Ji Xianxian was such a delicate person. In order to find out about Wen Ruyue, she did not hesitate to come there under that bright sun.
“Hurry up and fan Princess Chu,” Yin Hui smiled and told Jinzhan, but she was actually teasing Ji Xianxian for her embarrassment.
Ji Xianxian glared at her, saying, “You’re laughing? Why are you still visiting the garden at this time, making me take so many steps for nothing?”
Yin Hui pointed to the peony bushes outside the pavilion and said, “Look at how beautiful the flowers are; I can’t get enough of seeing them every day.”
Ji Xianxian snorted, then turned to Xiao Zhuang and said, “Take Xiao Ning to play outside.”
Xiao Zhuang was ten years old, and she understood some things very well. Knowing her mother wanted to ask her third aunt about the cousin, she also wanted to listen by the side. Besides, her mother disliked the sun, and she didn’t like it either. After walking for so long, she just wanted to sit.
