Reborn Lady - Chapter 325
Yin Hui suggested, “How about Heng and Xun competing against you two, while your cousin and I watch from the pavilion?”
On such a hot day, she didn’t want to engage in strenuous activity. Besides, with Wen Ruyue staying at the mansion, it wouldn’t sound good if the family left her alone.
With the parents at odds, Heng and Xun weren’t accustomed to it. In the past, it seemed that their father’s word was final, and their mother rarely objected.
The two brothers silently observed, then saw their father compromise and say to their mother, “That’s fine.”
Heng and Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang Feng moved quickly, and soon brought two brand-new wooden boats.
Yin Hui asked Wei Luo to take the children to prepare first, while she waited there for Wen Ruyue.
After the young maid invited Wen Ruyue over, Yin Hui went to the garden with her again.
By the shimmering lakeside, Heng and Xun were practicing rowing. Wei Luo hugged Ning and got into a boat. He also asked Jinzhan to find a gauze ribbon and tied Ning loosely around his waist, lest the little girl accidentally fall into the water while rowing.
Yin Hui could tell that Wei Luo really liked the three children. Whether he was asked to teach or play with them, he didn’t have the slightest intention of perfunctory.
This was also what satisfied her the most about Wei Luo. If Wei Luo were cold to the children, she really wouldn’t want to live with him.
It was also the first time Wen Ruyue saw her cousin showing such a side.
If… if she had stayed in the Yan Palace back then and had been her cousin’s concubine before he was fascinated by Yin Hui, would she have given birth to her cousin’s children now? Would their children be loved so much by her cousin?
Children…
A tear fell from the corner of Wen Ruyue’s eye.
Yin Hui happened to look over, but she didn’t know what Wen Ruyue was feeling sad about.
It was a significant festival, so Yin Hui simply pretended not to notice.
In mid-May, officials from the Ministry of Industry came to invite Wen Ruyue to inspect and accept the mansion.
Yin Hui accompanied Wen Ruyue for a walk.
Despite Wen Ruyue’s apparent disdain for the mansion with its three courtyards, the newly renovated mansion had a beautiful garden. With its spaciousness, even if Wen Ruyue were married and had children, a family of four could comfortably reside there. In contrast, if Wen Ruyue married into a prominent family, they would likely only have access to a small courtyard.
Although Wen Ruyue was not so satisfied, this was her home completely. After receiving so many cold faces at her cousin’s mansion, she couldn’t wait to move out.
Since the mansion given by the Imperial Court had been completed, there was no reason to delay it. The sooner she moved, the more she would show her gratitude to Emperor Yongping.
May 18th was an auspicious day for moving, so Wen Ruyue decided to move on this day.
On the evening of the 17th, Wei Luo discussed with Yin Hui that he would give his cousin a hundred taels as a gift for moving. “Let’s just use the hundred taels my mother gave me,” he suggested. Now a prince with an annual salary of five thousand taels, he followed his mother’s practice of giving gifts. One hundred taels was still affordable for him.
Wei Luo simply wanted his cousin to move out quickly and didn’t bother to worry about anything else.
Yin Hui smiled and said, “Shall we count it as a gift prepared by both of us together, or should I give your cousin another hundred taels?”
Wei Luo frowned and replied, “Of course, together.”
He knew she had a lot of money, but he didn’t want her to spend it so casually.
The next day, Wei Luo deliberately took a day off to help his cousin relocate.
Wen Ruyue watched silently and then noticed that after reuniting with her cousin for so long, he looked at her most patiently that day.
After having lunch in Wen Ruyue’s brand new mansion, Yin Hui and Wei Luo took Xiao Ning to leave.
Yin Hui got into the carriage first, and Wei Luo carried Xiao Ning up again.
As soon as the little girl entered the carriage, she opened the curtains and sweetly said to Wen Ruyue, who came out to see them off, “Aunt, I will come to see you some other day.”
Xiao Ning was satisfied, but she still lay down by the window, looking at the mansion behind her aunt very reluctantly.
Such a child liked to go to new places to play.
Wen Ruyue wanted to say a few words to her cousin, but she was stared at by Xiao Ning’s beautiful big eyes, so she could only swallow the words back.
“It’s hot outside, go in,” Wei Luo said politely to his cousin, then got into the carriage and sat on the other side of the couch.
Only Xiao Ning bid farewell to Wen Ruyue enthusiastically.
Wen Ruyue kept smiling until the carriage set off and Yin Hui pulled her daughter back into her arms, the curtains fell, and the smile on Wen Ruyue’s face disappeared instantly.
Inside the carriage, Yin Hui asked Wei Luo to look after Xiao Ning, and she took out the round fan embroidered with carp playing in water, and fanned herself gently.
Wei Luo looked over from the corner of his eye and saw her leaning lazily against the carriage, her fair face slightly turned towards the other side of the carriage window, her long eyelashes slightly closed. He didn’t know if she was thinking about something or just tired of socializing. She closed her eyes and rested her mind.
The light from the window was strong, and her fair face seemed to emit a layer of soft light. Her red lips were slightly parted, showing a kind of afternoon laziness.
She lowered her hand holding the fan lower and lower, and finally it hung gently on her lap.
Although there were two small ice tripods in the carriage, it was still stuffy on that hot afternoon.
Xiao Ning even leaned against her father’s arms, her eyelids closed.
Wei Luo supported his daughter with his left hand, stretched out his right hand, touched the round fan, and gently pulled the thin handle out of her hand.
