Reborn Lady - Chapter 394

After moving back from Jinling, Yin Yong greeted Emperor Yongping through Wei Luo in advance, saying that he would not bother the Emperor to give him a new mansion, and that he would use the old house of the Yin family.

So many Jinling nobles were looking forward to Emperor Yongping giving them a home, but Yin Yong took the initiative to save Emperor Yongping trouble. Emperor Yongping was naturally happy to see it.

For Yin Yong, he also preferred to live in his ancestral home.

“Prince Jing has moved out, are you moving in soon?” Yin Yong asked his granddaughter-in-law with a smile.

Before, he was worried that his grandson-in-law would be beaten into a loach, but in a blink of an eye, the python was about to turn into a dragon. Yin Yong was reserved outside, but he was lively when he was alone. He even went to visit the grave of the Yin family ancestors and gave incense to all ancestors.

“Look at you, the wrinkles on your face have increased when you smile,” Yin Hui teased the old man.

Yin Yong touched his face, not paying attention.

There were no outsiders, and Yin Hui did not hide her joy. “It should be soon; the exact date would be decided by the Emperor.”

Yin Yong thought of his granddaughter, who was often praised by relatives as having good luck when she was a child. He only took those words as flattery, but they turned out to be true.

“When you lived here, I could still talk to you often, and you could mention any difficulties you encounter. After entering the palace, it will be difficult to see each other. Ah Hui, it is of course a good thing to be a Crown Princess, but don’t get carried away by the position. The higher your position, the more cautious you must be, even with the Third Master.” 

Although it was not pleasant, Yin Yong had to say it. Other than him, probably no one would dare to warn the couple again.

Yin Hui glanced outside the door and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. After so many years, you still don’t know what T the Third Master’s temper is, and he is more stable than wood.” 

Yin Yong smiled, looked at his granddaughter who was still bright and charming, and asked with a complicated mood, “What about you? Are you afraid that there will be another person in the Third Master’s house?”

 Yin Hui laughed and said, “You don’t have to worry. If he had that idea, he would have added a bunch of younger sisters to me.”

Yin Yong replied, “He doesn’t want to, but the Emperor will ask him to take a concubine.”

Yin Hui responded, “When I first went to Jinling, the Emperor was about to give him side concubines, but he bluntly refused. I think the Emperor won’t make fun of himself anymore.”

Yin Yong said, “I hope so. Otherwise, I still have to worry that you won’t be able to compete with other women.”

After the grandfather and grandson finished talking, Yin Hui went to find Xie Zhuyi. The sister-in-laws were together, and the chat was all about housework.

“Since Prince Shu was named the Crown Prince, more people came to visit our house. Fortunately, Grandfather is not afraid of offending people in Jinling. When they came, we only served tea, but we didn’t accept any gifts, and returned them all,” Xie Zhuyi smiled and said to Yin Hui

“There are still people who carefully prepared all kinds of rare treasures, but it was a waste. Grandfather is so well-informed, can he be fascinated by that thing?” 

“The only gift my grandfather received was two altars of fine wine from the Li family.” 

Yin Hui laughed.

Back then, her grandfather and the Li family had a stalemate because of the dispute between her and the Li family’s children. For decades, neither of the two old men would bow down. But now that her grandfather had become the Crown Prince’s grandfather-in-law, the Li family was finally willing to compromise.

The Li family was in business. The restoration of friendship between the two had nothing to do with officialdom.

Yin Hui usually only met with royal relatives. When she wanted to know about her natal family’s situation, it was all through Xie Zhuyi. Sometimes, it was obviously trivial matters, but Yin Hui listened with great interest, unknowingly drinking tea twice.

Xie Zhuyi mentioned Yin Rong’s side again, “Xiao Ru’s marriage is settled. Don’t they live in Hutong now? There is also an official of the Ministry of Industry living there, the second son of the Guo family. The Brother-in-law is an official of the Ministry of Officials, and Mr. Guo is the official of the Ministry of Industry, so he is considered well-connected, right? In fact, there are people from a higher family who came to propose marriage. The Brother-in-law found reasons to refuse, which made the Elder Sister very angry.”

Yin Hui was surprised and said, “When is the engagement? Why didn’t they tell me?”

It was her niece, and she had to give a gift for such a big event.

Xie Zhuyi replied, “They just finished the horoscope match. They will definitely tell you when the banquet is about to be held, but you may not be able to catch up.”

Her brother-in-law usually did not flatter the Third Master, and now that the Third Master was going to live in the East Hall, he would not send the invitation to the East Hall. 

Yin Hui got to know about it, so she took Wei Ning to the Jiang Mansion after having lunch.

Jiang Weijiao worked in the Ministry of Officials, Jiang Zhi studied in the Guozijian, and only Yin Rong and Jiang Rushu were at home.

“Why is the Crown Princess here?” Yin Rong ran all the way to the door upon hearing the servant’s message. When she saw Yin Hui, she was still the same person, but her status became even more unattainable. Yin Rong didn’t even dare to directly call her “you”.

Yin Hui laughed and said, “Xiao Ru got engaged, you didn’t even tell me. I have no choice but to come here uninvited.”

Jiang Rushu, who was standing beside Yin Rong, blushed.

She was sixteen years old that year. She had the beauty of Yin Rong and the bookishness of Jiang Weijiao. She was very pleasing to look at.

Yin Hui held Jiang Rushu’s hand and walked side by side.

When they sat down in the hall, Yin Hui carefully inquired about the situation of the Guo family. She knew about all the honorable families and several families of officials but hadn’t heard of the Guo family yet.

Yin Rong explained, “Guo Shilang was transferred from the local government to the Ministry of Industry the year before last. We lived close to each other at that time, but we were not familiar with each other. When we moved to Pingcheng this time, we happened to live in the same alley again, so we gradually became acquainted. Madam Guo liked Xiao Ru very much and talked to me, but I didn’t dare to make my own decisions. So I discussed it with Xiao Ru’s father, who thought that the Second Son of the Guo family was young and promising, so he agreed.”

Yin Rong’s words more or less revealed some dissatisfaction with the Guo family.
