Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 610
The following day, the grandson of the Duke of Qin celebrated his one-month birthday, and a grand banquet was held, inviting everyone to attend.
This wasn't Yunxi's first time attending a banquet.
When arranging a marriage for Yao Susu, she accompanied Zheng Shi several times as Yao Susu's older sister.
But this time, it was the first time she had attended in her own capacity.
Yunxi was a little nervous.
She had originally planned to get up early to dress up, but Chen Qiang told her the night before that she could just sleep until she woke up naturally, since it was just a full moon celebration and she didn't even need to dress up.
Once Yunxi thought about it, her heart calmed down.
Yes, it was just a full moon celebration.
Back in Qingshui Village, some people would even go there directly after finishing their work in the fields.
Although the full moon celebration of this wealthy family is expensive, she really doesn't need to be too nervous.
With that thought in mind, Yunxi slept soundly again.
The next day, Jixiang dressed her up as usual.
Wearing a light turquoise dress, the clean and elegant color made Yunxi's skin appear even whiter than snow, without needing any extra rouge.
Jixiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how much better it was to follow Yunxi. With just a change of clothes and a comb of hair, she didn't have to put any effort into her appearance, saving her so much trouble.
After tidying up and having breakfast, I took the child to Zhong Jie's place, just as someone from Chen Qiang's place came to call me.
The two rode in a carriage towards the Duke of Qin's mansion.
On the way, seeing that Chen Qiang seemed a little listless, Yunxi asked, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Qiang shook her head.
It's all because of that bastard!
Ever since she said we could think about the children, that person has completely lost his composure.
Last night was even worse. Even though he knew she was going out today, he kept pestering her until it was almost dawn before she could finally fall asleep!
Chen Qiang grew angrier the more she thought about it.
I'm kicking him out to sleep in the study today, no questions asked!
As Chen Qiang was thinking, her gaze shifted and suddenly met Yun Xi's eyes.
Yunxi was looking at her with a meaningful expression.
Chen Qiang raised an eyebrow: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think you have a lot of good days ahead of you? People say absence makes the heart grow fonder, just you wait and see."
Once Shen Rang comes to propose marriage and the two get married, she doesn't believe Yun Xi will still look at her like that.
Who knows, by then, their positions might be reversed!
Yunxi: "......"
She silently turned her back and said nothing.
Chen Qiang revealed a victor's smile.
——
Soon, the carriage came to a smooth stop.
As soon as Chen Qiang appeared, a warm voice rang out: "Young Madam Huo! You said you were coming a couple of days ago, and I thought I misheard! I didn't expect you to actually come! It seems that our Duke Qin's Mansion still has some prestige!"
Chen Qiang smiled and continued, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are busy and can't come in person. They repeatedly told me not to be impolite."
Just as Madam Xu, the young mistress of the Duke of Qin's mansion, was about to speak with a smile, her gaze shifted and she saw Yunxi emerge from the carriage.
"Oh, who is this...?"
“This is my little sister whom my family just found,” Chen Qiang smiled even more brightly. “Xi’er, this is the Duchess of Qin, we should call her aunt.”
Yunxi curtsied to Madam Xu, saying, "Aunt."
Madam Xu quickly stepped forward to support her, scrutinizing her closely, her gaze seemingly unwilling to leave her: "Oh my, just looking at this face, I'm sure it must be the Princess's biological child. The eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same!"
