Reborn Lady - Chapter 426

When Wen Ruyue departed from Pingcheng, it was already October, and the northern winds were fierce, rendering outdoor activities too chilly.

As dusk settled, Wang Ping had kept a vigilant watch around the Yin Mansion for the entire day, ensuring that the Second Lady wouldn’t venture out again. Eventually, he had to return to the Yan Palace to report to the Third Master.

Wei Luo dismissed Wang Ping and sat alone in the main room for a while before retiring to his study.

The next morning, Wei Luo handed a box to Wang Ping and instructed, “Deliver this to the Second Lady personally, and don’t entrust it to anyone else.”

Wang Ping accepted the task with solemnity and left the Yan Palace, making his way to the Yin Mansion.

Though Wang Ping appeared to be a handsome young man of twelve or thirteen years, with his rosy lips and pearly teeth, his true status as a eunuch was concealed from outsiders. Thus, when he arrived at the Yin Mansion and knocked on the door, the neighbors paid little heed, accustomed to such visits.

Upon spotting Wang Ping’s badge from the Yan Palace, the guard didn’t dare to stop him and promptly summoned Uncle De.

As Yin Yong was away, Uncle De, hesitant to assume authority over Yin Hui, instructed a young maid to inform the Second Lady of the visitor’s arrival.

Yin Hui knew that Wang Ping was the second most useful eunuch around Wei Luo, second only to Chang Feng and An Shun’er in Chengxin Hall.

But she didn’t want to have anything to do with Wei Luo anymore, so she only asked the little maid to reply with two words of refusal.

The little maid ran back to the front to answer. Wang Ping turned his eyes when he heard it and knelt down in the hallway, holding the box. He said to Uncle De, “If the Second Miss doesn’t see me, I can only kneel here.”

No one knew better than him how much the Third Master valued the Second Lady. Usually, the Third Master was more disciplined. He would never ask them to leave the palace to run errands all year round. But since King Yan decided on the marriage, the red line of marriage was almost binding the Third Master and the Second Lady together. The Third Master would send him out every day to keep an eye on the movements of the Second Lady.

This box must contain gifts from the Third Master to please the Second Lady. Maybe the Second Lady would soften her heart after seeing it, so he must handle this errand well.

Uncle De couldn’t kick Wang Ping out of the gate of the Yin Mansion, but he couldn’t be persuaded. Therefore, he had to go to Huixiang in person.

“He hasn’t left yet?” Yin Hui asked unexpectedly.

Uncle De said sadly, “He is still kneeling. Why doesn’t the Second Miss want to see him? We can’t afford to let him kneel there.”

Yin Hui frowned. Were Wei Luo’s people such rascals?

Uncle De said, “I see that he is holding a box in his arms. Since the Third Master told him, he will not dare to go back without seeing you.”

Yin Hui thought of Wei Luo’s cold face. No wonder Wang Ping was not afraid.

“Forget it, you can bring him here.” Yin Hui was also a little curious about why Wei Luo was going through all this trouble.

After Uncle De left, Jinzhan came to Yin Hui’s side and said with a smile, “Miss, you’re so beautiful. Even the Emperor’s grandson is fascinated by you.”

She still remembered that in Dongshan, the Third Master rode a horse to stop her lady himself, not much different from those young men who were fascinated by the young lady.

Yin Hui glared at Jinzhan. When she really saw Wei Luo, both Jinzhan and Yinzhan turned into soft bones, and they didn’t dare to take a breath. But now, Jinzhan dared to say something for Wei Luo.

Outside, Wang Ping followed Uncle De all the way in. He was from the Yan Palace, and the Yin Mansion was just ordinary in his eyes. It wasn’t until he entered the Second Lady’s Huixiang that Wang Ping suddenly opened his eyes. Similarly, it looked like a pile of silver everywhere, and there was nobility everywhere. Compared with this place, the Third Master’s Chengxin Hall was really shabby.

Stepping into the hall, Wang Ping saw Yin Hui again.

The last time Yin Hui went to Dongshan, Wang Ping only saw her getting into the carriage from a distance, but didn’t see her appearance clearly. Now, when he saw her at close range, Wang Ping’s heart trembled. Even in front of the Second Lady of the Yin family, he couldn’t show it off. No wonder the Third Master liked her like crazy, as if he had changed into a different person.

After taking a look, Wang Ping bent down, approached Yin Hui with the box in his hands, and said respectfully, “Second Miss, this is a gift from the Third Master. I hope you will accept it.”

Yin Hui glanced at Jinzhan.

Jinzhan took the box and held it in front of Yin Hui.

Yin Hui didn’t pick it up. Instead, she motioned for Jinzhan to put it on the table and said to Wang Ping, “You will not be rewarded for no merit. Please tell the Third Master not to send anything again. If you come again, the Yin family will not let you in.”

Wang Ping thought that the Second Miss was really proud, but who made her look like a fairy? Wasn’t that what a fairy was like, aloof?

“Yes, the young one must tell the Third Master,” Wang Ping replied, though he didn’t dare to speculate whether the Third Master would heed her words.

Uncle De escorted Wang Ping out. Yin Hui ignored the curious gazes of Jinzhan and Yinzhan and went to the inner room with the box.

Sitting by the window, Yin Hui stared at the box for a while before opening the lid in a dazed manner.

Inside was a scroll with a letter underneath it.

Yin Hui took out the letter first.

She opened the envelope and took out… a thick stack of letter paper.

The amount of this letter made Yin Hui fall into memory once again.

Wei Luo cherished his words like gold, and he did so with his words and pens. He used to write family letters from the battlefield, and they all consisted of two or three sentences. Maybe the sum of several family letters in his previous life was not as much as the content of a single letter here.

After she came back to reality, Yin Hui smiled sarcastically and began to read the letter.

At the beginning of the letter, he actually wrote “My Wife Ah Hui”.

Yin Hui gritted her teeth slightly. That was in her previous life. In this life, she was not married yet and had nothing to do with him.

She then looked down.

“In Dongshan, time was short, and there were many things that cannot be fully explained. Today, I am writing to answer your four questions.”
