Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Returning Home
Yun family.
Today is the day when the two girls return home. The red double happiness characters pasted on the doors and windows have not been removed yet, and the servants are busy working again.
Madam Yun got up early in the morning and looked forward to it. She assigned her servants to wait at the street corner. When the carriage appeared at the intersection, the servants hurried back to report.
Yun Hui was the first to return. Madam Yun went out to greet her daughter as she stepped off the carriage. Her face was beaming with joy, and she couldn't stop smiling. "Just now I was complaining to your father about you being lazy. Why are you here so early?"
Yun Hui threw herself into her mother's arms, holding her arm and acting coquettishly: "I wanted to come back early to see my parents. Do you think I came too early?"
"How could mother dislike you?" Madam Yun looked behind her with a smile on her face. Ye Huaiqing also got off the carriage. He was tall and graceful, with a handsome face. Just standing there, he was an elegant young man. Madam Yun was very satisfied with her son-in-law and said, "Huaiqing, come in and sit in the room. The master is thinking about you."
In the main hall, the servants brought tea, and Father Yun warmly invited his son-in-law to sit down, "Huaiqing, have some tea."
Ye Huaiqing took the teacup: "Thank you, father-in-law."
The Yun and Ye families had known each other for a long time, and Ye Huaiqing often visited the Yun family. Yun's father had watched him grow up, and now that he had become his son-in-law, he was extremely satisfied. He immediately put on airs and tested his knowledge.
Ye Huaiqing will take part in the autumn examination this fall. He studies hard at home and has a good knowledge. He is not afraid of the test from his elders and answers them with ease.
Madam Yun listened for a while, and seeing the two of them asking and answering each other, she secretly winked at her daughter.
Yun Hui was still listening to the conversation between the two carefully until her mother gave her several looks, and then she reacted. She first glanced at her newlywed husband, and when she saw that Ye Huaiqing didn't pay attention to her, she quietly followed her mother out.
After leaving the main hall, not long after she left, Madam Yun immediately pulled her aside. After making sure that the two people discussing academic matters in the room could not hear them, she asked with concern, "Hui'er, how do you think the Ye family treat you now that you are married?"
"I thought it was something else, but it turns out that's what Mother wanted to ask me." Yun Hui said with a relaxed look, "Mother, you really worry too much. The Ye family and ours have been friends for a long time. Even for Dad's sake, Uncle Ye and the others won't treat me too badly. If I marry Ye Lang, I will be the only young mistress of the Ye family and the future head of the family. Who can give me a hard time?"
"really?"
"Mom, you still don't believe me?"
Madam Yun was skeptical, observing her daughter's expression. Seeing that her daughter's face was indeed normal, she finally felt relieved. She knew Yun Hui very well, and if Yun Hui was hiding something, she would not be able to hide it from her eyes.
Madam Yun said happily, "I knew that the Ye family is a good match, and Madam Ye is also kind. You should be smart and show your face to Madam Ye more often. Treat your mother-in-law the same way you treat me. Although Huaiqing is the only heir of the Ye family, the Ye family will be handed over to him sooner or later, it is best to take control of the affairs of the harem as soon as possible."
For example, when she first entered the Yun family, the old lady was still the housekeeper. She had suffered a lot under the old lady's rule and had to work hard to gain the housekeeping power. How could this be as refreshing as being the head of the family?
Yun Hui covered her ears and shook her head, "I know, I know, Mom, you keep saying this, my ears are almost callused."
"You think I'm nagging you." Madam Yun poked her forehead unhappily. "If you could live up to your expectations, I wouldn't have to worry about this. I'll be relieved when you get pregnant soon."
Yun Hui blushed: "Mom, why are you saying this..." She lowered her head shyly. Not long ago, she was still a girl, and it was a bit embarrassing to say these things. However, she soon thought of something, and the shyness on her face disappeared.
Naturally, her emotional changes could not be hidden from Mrs. Yun's eyes.
Seeing her expression suddenly change, Madam Yun also became worried. She quickly approached her daughter, staring at her face closely: "What's wrong? Are you at the Ye family..."
Before she could finish her words, a servant came in and announced, "Madam, Master, the eldest lady is back!"
The Yun family's house was not big, and the servants' voices were clearly heard in the main room. Yun's father and Ye Huaiqing, who were talking loudly, stopped talking at the same time, stood up and went out to greet the guests.
So, Mrs. Yun swallowed the remaining questions she hadn't asked.
She only had time to whisper to her daughter hurriedly, "Let's talk about it later." Then she returned to Yun's father.
Yun Hui stood there for a moment, and when she saw that everyone was about to leave, she caught up with the crowd. She reached out to hold Ye Huaiqing's arm, but she could clearly feel Ye Huaiqing's body stiffen.
How could it be possible for a newlywed husband to be unaccustomed to her touch, or rather, to resist it? Yun Hui tightly grasped his arm in an intimate gesture. Ye Huaiqing glanced down at her absentmindedly, but ultimately did not break free.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the newly arrived carriage.
The servants carried the gifts down from the carriage, and Yun Wu helped Xie Yi get off the carriage.
She was wearing a newly made brocade dress today, with her misty black hair tied up and adorned with pearls and jade. Everyone present had long been accustomed to her plain and simple attire, so when they suddenly saw her dress and bridal robe, they were all dazzled.
Those exquisite and ornate jewels didn't take away from her radiance. Her delicate features, slender eyebrows, red lips, and white teeth made her look like a piece of raw jade, meticulously carved and sculpted to reveal a radiance all her own. Clothes make the man, and even Yun Wu, dressed in her finery, seemed unattainable.
But that was just a fleeting illusion.
When the people came to them and called out "Father" and "Mother" softly, Father Yun and Mrs. Yun were the first to recover from the shock.
"Awu is back." Father Yun smiled kindly and looked at Xie Yi beside her. One was handsome, the other beautiful. Standing together, they looked like a golden boy and a beautiful girl, a delight to the eyes. "Sanlangjun is here too."
Xie Yi said politely: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
"Come on, come on, let's do it inside." Father Yun took the initiative to hold his eldest son-in-law's arm and helped him into the house: "You've had a hard time on the way here, Sanlang. How is your health?"
"Thanks to my wife, I feel much better."
Yun Wu held her husband's arm. When she heard his words, she glanced up calmly. Someone said that this person remained calm, and it was unclear who was refusing to take the medicine.
It was not until a group of people stepped into the door that Yun Hui slowly came to her senses.
That's Yun Wu? !
How could it be Yun Wu? !
For a moment, Yun Wu's appearance overlapped with her dream, the same glamorous and respectable Yun Wu, as if the Yun Wu she envied and envied had walked out of her dream. But she quickly came to her senses. In reality, it was she who married Ye Huaiqing.
Yes, it was she who married Ye Huaiqing!
Yun Hui bit her lip and looked up at her husband. She gripped Ye Huaiqing's arm tightly, using such force that she could almost feel the pain, but Ye Huaiqing seemed completely unaware, his eyes fixed on the slender figure not far away.
Yun Hui tried to lift the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't smile and her face darkened.
"Husband, please respect yourself." She tightly grasped Ye Huaiqing's arm, digging her nails, stained with Impatiens juice, into the soft flesh of his arm through his clothes. Yun Hui squeezed out a warning from between her teeth: "You are married to me, and it is not appropriate for you to stare at other people."
Especially, that person was Yun Wu.
Ye Huaiqing lowered his eyes as if burned.
He pulled his arm free from his wife's hand and said coldly, "I know." Then he raised his foot and followed.
You better really know!
Yun Hui twisted her handkerchief, and her heart felt choked when she thought of the infatuated look on his face as he stared at Yun Wu just now.
Thinking about the things in her heart that she had not yet had the chance to tell her mother, she felt even more upset.
She got what she wanted and changed her engagement, marrying Ye Huaiqing smoothly. Everything in her dream was about to be within her reach. But if there was anything that was not going well, it was naturally because her husband still had someone else in his heart.
She could have pretended not to know, but on their wedding night, Ye Huaiqing told her directly that he was not sincere about this marriage. Now seeing his foolish look with her own eyes, it was difficult for her to pretend to be stupid.
Although she married Ye Huaiqing for the future glory and wealth, who can be willing to sleep with someone who has different dreams from her?
Fortunately, after being reminded by her, Ye Huaiqing kept his eyes under control and stopped glancing at Yun Wu. When Yun's father was talking to Xie Yi, he sat aside with a teacup in his hand and drank water.
It wasn't Ye Huaiqing's fault. Who had Yun Wu suddenly transformed into such a glamorous and beautiful person? Lian Yunhui couldn't help but look at Yun Wu.
Even if Yun Wu married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, what would it matter? Third Young Master Xie was a bastard and was sickly, so his situation would only be worse. But why didn't Yun Wu look down on herself at all?
That headpiece is better than the one she wears!
The gems were bigger than hers, the quality was better than hers, and everything about her... looked better than hers!
Yun Wu lowered her head and added hot tea to her husband's cup. Just as she put down the teapot, she suddenly felt someone coming towards her.
Xie Yi covered his face with his hands and whispered to her through the cover of his sleeve: "Why does your sister keep staring at you? Did you offend her?"
Yun Wu looked up in confusion, but Yun Hui had already looked away.
"Is there?"
"Of course not. That look in her eyes makes her want to eat me alive."
Yun Wu was completely unaware: "I don't know either."
Xie Yi suddenly asked, "Then why is the man next to her looking at you?"
Yun Wu: “…”
The person sitting next to Yun Hui was naturally Ye Huaiqing, her ex-fiancé.
Yun Wu looked down at the embroidered pattern on her cuffs, seemingly studying it carefully. She whispered, "You're seeing things."
Xie Yi stared at her face, dragged out the word "hmm" with an ambiguous tone, and hummed.
"Yeah?"
