Reborn Lady - Chapter 317
Wei Luo returned home in the evening and was the first to discover the change in his daughter.
Xiao Ning usually wore two small buns, embellished with various hair bands or silk flowers, and it was the same that morning. However, at that time, Xiao Ning had a round bun on the top of her head, with a silk flower inserted. A layer of slightly thick bangs hung down on her forehead, and she suddenly looked a little more quiet and delicate than usual.
“Father, do I look good?” Xiao Ning, who had already asked her two older brothers, came to ask her father as well.
Wei Luo looked into his daughter’s expectant eyes and smiled, “It looks good.”
Xiao Ning also smiled, touched the top of her head carefully, and said, “Xiao Zhuang taught me to comb.”
The smile in Wei Luo’s eyes quickly faded as he looked at Yin Hui.
Yin Hui was talking to Xiao Heng and didn’t notice his eyes.
Wen Ruyue still came for dinner that night.
Wei Luo did not follow the rule of not talking during the meal. In the past, at the dinner table, Yin Hui and the three children would communicate about their day’s life. With Wen Ruyue there, Xiao Heng and Xiao Xun had become as silent as Wei Luo. Except for Yin Hui smiling and persuading Wen Ruyue not to be polite, it was Xiao Ning who chatted casually with others, asking her brothers if they had been criticized by their master, and asking her father what case he was busy with.
Wen Ruyue could feel that she was out of place.
Mainly because her cousin was too cold.
There were six people at the table, only her cousin was related to her, but he was so cold. He treated her with some sincerity, but it was just a matter of face.
She had been dependent on others since she was a child, and her aunt really loved her when she was a child, but living in her cousin’s house was uncomfortable.
“Cousin, eat more meat. Look at you, you are so skinny that my heart aches.”
Yin Hui changed the chopsticks specially used for picking up vegetables, and with a concerned smile, she picked up a piece of braised pork for Wen Ruyue.
When Wen Ruyue quickly thanked her, Yin Hui shook her head and said angrily, “If you don’t want to bother me, you can add more food yourself. You have to improve your complexion earlier, so that I can focus on other things.”
Wen Ruyue blushed, still looking reserved.
Seeing that, Wei Luo really wanted to arrange for his cousin to eat alone in Zhufeng Hall, and let the small kitchen cook whatever she wanted. So that Yin Hui would not be restrained by his cousin, and she would not have to bother with taking care of the guest. It was just that his cousin had just arrived a few days ago, and she would misunderstand that the two didn’t welcome her, and didn’t want to have dinner with her.
Although Wei Luo really only wanted to have dinner with his family, he couldn’t really do that in the way of hospitality.
After finally having a good meal, when Wen Ruyue resigned, let alone Wei Luo, Xiao Heng and Xiao Xun unconsciously felt much more at ease than before.
The children naturally didn’t have much affection for their aunt whom they had never met before. Wen Ruyue was indeed an outsider in their eyes. As for Wei Luo, he said that he wanted to take care of his cousin, but in fact, he only had a sense of responsibility towards Wen Ruyue as a brother. He would provide Wen Ruyue with a good life, but he would not do anything to make his cousin feel better, such as violating his own behavioral habits to greet his cousin with care and attention.
To put it simply, it was okay to ask him to pay money, but he wouldn’t do anything more.
In the entire Shu Mansion, Yin Hui was the one who was most comfortable dealing with Wen Ruyue.
She didn’t like Wen Ruyue.
From the moment Wen Ruyue knelt in front of her and begged to be Wei Luo’s concubine in her previous life, Yin Hui knew that the woman wanted to rob her of her husband. Even if Yin Hui didn’t care so much about Wei Luo’s feelings, Wei Luo was also her husband, just like her jewelry. She could put it on the shelf when she got tired of it, and even give it to the maids. Wen Ruyue came uninvited; therefore, Yin Hui didn’t like what she said.
It was just that Yin Hui wouldn’t be so stupid as to show it. Wen Ruyue just escaped from the dead and was paranoid as a cover, so that Wei Luo couldn’t see her intentions. Yin Hui could make Wei Luo see her perfunctory heart of hospitality.
The summer days were longer, and it was not completely dark when they returned to the backyard.
Yin Hui sat on the couch in the east room, sewing sachets for the children. The Dragon Boat Festival was coming. Children wore sachets, not only as decorations on their clothes but also to drive away plagues and evil spirits. So every Dragon Boat Festival, Yin Hui would personally embroider the sachets for her children.
She was doing her needlework quietly, and Wei Luo took a book and sat across from her, with a small table between the couple.
Yin Hui kept her eyes down. Wei Luo looked at her, then at her sewing basket, and found that she was holding a sachet in her hand, and there were three sachets that were almost finished.
Wei Luo pursed his lips.
During the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years, she would sew five sachets in one go, one for each member of the family of five.
Judging by the quantity this year, she probably wasn’t planning to give him one.
Flipping through two pages of the book absently, Wei Luo remembered his daughter’s new bun, frowned, and asked, “Did Mrs. Ji come here today?”
Yin Hui glanced at him, saying, “What Mrs. Ji? Please speak politely, or you will let the children misunderstand you upon hearing that.”
Wei Luo had long disliked Ji Xianxian’s personality, and when he learned that she spread rumors about him, he even made a note of Ji Xianxian’s words. But his wife even asked him to call her Ji Xianxian respectfully, and was very protective of her.
Wei Luo said displeased, “She treats you like that, and you still want to continue to associate with her?”
Yin Hui said without raising her head, “Second Sister-in-law lied to me in the early years, but she hasn’t mentioned that since Xiao Heng was one year old, so why should I care about some old sesame seeds and rotten millet?”
