Qin Yuan awoke to her reborn life and discovered her legitimate younger sister (di mei) had also been reborn. Not only did her sister steal her husband from the previous lifeāthe poor Juren (mean...
Madam Gu already knew that Qin Yuan's brother had come to visit again. She thought Qin Yuan would bring him to pay her respects again, so she quickly prepared another gift. However, the man came, sat for a short while, and then left in a hurry, without even giving him the gift.
Old Madam Gu then asked Rong Mama, "What is Yuan'er busy with?"
Rong Momo said, "If the old lady is worried, this old servant will go to Wutong Garden to sit for a while."
"Never mind, I was just asking casually. Yuan'er is very polite. Her brothers from her family are here, but I'm afraid they have something to do and can't come here. Hui-ge just left, and last night he told me to keep a close eye on his wife. I can't help but worry about her."

Cui Ming smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry about my bracelet anymore."
Hongye's bracelet is also made of similar quality materials, only the design is different. It is clear that they were purchased in bulk for special use as gifts.
Hongye sighed, "I really hope I can receive more rewards."
Qin Yuan remained silent, lost in thought under the lamplight, wondering why there hadn't been any response from Lord Gu after he told Gu Shiqi to inquire about the pepper...
