Reborn Lady - Chapter 434

Yin Jingshan’s family felt utterly desperate and powerless. After being reprimanded by Yin Yong, they resigned themselves to their fate, hoping they could gain some advantage by aligning themselves with the Yan Palace through Yin Hui.

However, Yin Hui wasn’t worried about the trouble they could stir. She couldn’t be manipulated in her past life, and in this life, both she and Wei Luo were reborn individuals—far from susceptible to the schemes of the second household.

Moreover, the wedding date between her and Wei Luo was set for March, the same auspicious day as in her previous life, when spring was warm and flowers bloomed.

Though the timeline seemed a bit hurried, the wedding ceremony promised to be even grander than when Wei Yang welcomed his bride.

The Xu family might indeed be renowned, but in the eyes of the people of Pingcheng, a daughter’s marriage from the Xu family didn’t hold as much fascination as the granddaughter of the wealthiest man in town, the Yin family.

The streets were bustling with people, and even the two brothers, Wei Yang and Wei Yan, had to accompany Wei Luo to welcome the bride amidst the crowd. The wedding procession was nearly blocked outside due to the sheer number of attendees.

Wei Yan was known for his infectious smile and was once hailed as the most handsome son by the people of Pingcheng. But on that day, it was Wei Luo who bore a gentle expression, smiling warmly. He was completely different from the usually cold Third Master of the Yan Palace.

Not only were the common folk admiring that rare scene, but even Wei Yang and Wei Yan were struck by it. They had never seen Wei Luo with such a radiant and joyful countenance, as he displayed with the spring breeze gently caressing his face.

“Hey, I see that the Third Master is more handsome than the Second Master!”

“Yeah, handsome and steady, the Second Lady is really blessed!”

As the chatter reached his ears, Wei Yan struggled to maintain the smile on his lips. Today, he wasn’t the groom, so why should he be overlooked?

Wei Luo glanced at the surrounding crowd, feeling a stark contrast in his mood compared to when he welcomed his bride in his previous life. Back then, he didn’t know what kind of girl he would marry. Now, he knew very well that she would be the best woman in the world.

After a bustling day, at one o’clock, Wei Luo finally managed to escape everyone’s persuasions to drink and arrived at his new home.

“My lady, the Third Master is here, hurry up and greet him!” Jinzhan hurried in, brimming with excitement.

Yin Hui didn’t want to go because of the fact that she was acquainted with him. However, seeing Jinzhan’s enthusiasm, she couldn’t help but smile and went out to greet Wei Luo.

When Yin Hui finally laid eyes on him, she couldn’t maintain her previous indifference, feeling too nervous to meet his intense gaze.

After Wei Luo bathed first, he dismissed the maids and led Yin Hui into the inner room.

Yin Hui’s cheeks flushed red, unsure why she felt so nervous, especially considering their familiarity with each other, particularly in intimate matters.

Wei Luo observed her shy demeanor, gently lifting her chin as they embarked on a step neither of them was accustomed to.

Had it not been for the mutton skewers incident that day, Wei Luo might have wanted to kiss her on the mountain.

Initially panicked, Yin Hui grasped his shoulder, but soon succumbed to his skilled advances, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment.

The following morning, both woke up simultaneously. Gazing at Wei Luo’s now warm and handsome face, Yin Hui couldn’t resist planting a smile-filled kiss on him.

In response, Wei Luo affectionately ruffled her hair.

“Get up, this time I’m going to serve tea to Father and Princess Xu,” Yin Hui said, brimming with anticipation.

Wei Luo didn’t quite grasp the significance of this act of serving tea. What other surprises could there be?

Deliberately putting on a show, Yin Hui ushered Wei Luo out after he got dressed, leaving only Jinzhan and Yinzhan to assist her in getting ready.

Sitting in the main room, Wei Luo observed the bright morning outside the window. The two locust trees had sprouted new green leaves, and two sparrows were playfully chasing each other atop the treetops.

His mood mirrored the cheerful birdsong outside.

After an indeterminate amount of time, footsteps echoed from inside. Jinzhan and Yinzhan emerged first, standing on each side and drawing back the curtains, revealing Yin Hui’s figure.

The bride was naturally adorned in red, the same attire she wore when serving tea in her previous life, with the only alteration being her headpiece.

Wei Luo immediately noticed the butterfly-shaped gold hairpin adorned with gems. While gold hairpins were not uncommon, Yin Hui’s was embellished with gemstones. Two large gems, one red and one blue, adorned the center, flanked by golden wings adorned with over a dozen colored gemstones the size of peanuts. In total, there were approximately thirty gemstones adorning the entire hairpin.

It was a stunning display of jewelry.

Ordinary beauties might struggle to carry off such expensive jewelry, but Yin Hui’s features were radiant, making her suitable for both heavy and light makeup.

Noticing that the Third Master was stunned, the two maids smiled and discreetly retreated.

Yin Hui approached Wei Luo, wrapping her arms around his neck as she settled into his embrace.

Wei Luo cleared his throat, his gaze flickering from the jewels adorning her head to her bright and charming face. He ventured a guess, “Are you demonstrating for my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law?”

Yin Hui smiled softly in response. “I wouldn’t dare to demonstrate. I simply want to show them that daughters from merchant families can hold their heads high, and no one should look down on me.”

A person’s appearance reflected their confidence.

As long as Yin Hui held herself in high regard, no longer feeling inferior to any esteemed lady, and no longer tolerating disparaging glances, she wouldn’t hesitate to assert herself.

In high spirits, Wei Luo pinched her ears playfully before kissing her again.

In the Qinzheng Hall, King Yan and his wife, along with his four wives, Wei Yang, and others, arrived one after another. The topic of discussion revolved around the newlywed couple.

After a while, the two newlyweds reached.

Xu Qingwan smiled as she glanced towards the door, while Ji Xianxian’s smile carried a hint of arrogance in her eyes. In her mind, the number one beauty in Pingcheng paled in comparison to her.

However, when Yin Hui entered with Wei Luo, a moment of silence fell over the hall.

Ji Xianxian stared at the array of gems adorning Yin Hui’s hairpin in disbelief. There were more gems on that single hairpin than all the gems she had ever possessed. Observing Yin Hui’s graceful demeanor, as if such jewelry were commonplace, Ji Xianxian couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.

On the other hand, Xu Qingwan had already learned of her new younger sister’s affluent background. She was more interested in Yin Hui’s temperament. Meeting her at this moment, Xu Qingwan realized that she was not someone easily intimidated.

As for Concubine Li, upon seeing Yin Hui’s attire, she couldn’t help but feel envious and sarcastic. In her eyes, girls from wealthy merchant families were simply vulgar.

Mrs. Wen gazed at her daughter-in-law in astonishment, as if she had been married off by the God of Wealth himself.

King Yan found amusement in Yin Hui’s confident aura. His youngest son, typically reserved, had married a proud and spirited beauty.

“This daughter-in-law will serve tea to Father.”

During the tea ceremony, Yin Hui maintained a demeanor that was neither humble nor overbearing in front of King Yan. She smiled sweetly, as if regarding him as nothing more than a kind elder.

King Yan couldn’t help but recall how timid his daughter-in-law had been when they first met, hiding behind a horse. He joked, “So you’re the bold one.”

With few words, King Yan picked up the tea bowl and drank, clearly expressing his satisfaction with his daughter-in-law.

When the head of the family was pleased, who dared to treat Yin Hui coldly?

After serving tea, it was time for breakfast.

Yin Hui sat at the same table as Xu Qingwan, Ji Xianxian, Wei Shan, and Wei Ying.

While Ji Xianxian secretly ridiculed Yin Hui’s supposed vulgarity, Yin Hui simply brushed off her disdain.

Wei Ying, on the other hand, was open-hearted and warm, fostering a genuine connection with Yin Hui.

After the meal, Yin Hui and Wei Luo left Qinzheng Hall side by side.

In the warm spring air, Yin Hui halted, gazing at her husband and the familiar faces of the people around her, a smile playing on her lips.
