Who knew that in the middle of the night, Yun Tianbai returned drunk. Before his eyes were Su Youran's stunningly beautiful face and Shi Wenxia's delicate and pretty face. Suddenly, he felt that this familiar pretty face, which he had cherished in his previous life, was somewhat boring.
He thought to himself, "Maybe I really drank too much today."
He sat on the new bed, staring at Shi Wenxia's face for a long time, then suddenly leaned back, closed his eyes, and let himself fall into darkness and fall into a deep sleep.
Shi Wenxia was stunned. The wedding night she had painstakingly stolen in her previous life could rightfully be enjoyed in this life, but... Yun Tianbai just fell asleep like that?
She was unwilling to accept it.
So she took off his clothes and socks, loosened his hair, covered him with a blanket, and started touching him.
Yun Tianbai had a dream.
In his dream, it was his previous life, his wedding day. When he lifted the red veil, the stunningly beautiful Jiang Youran appeared before him, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Youran..."
But when the stunning face in front of him lifted up and smiled sweetly at him, it suddenly transformed into Shi Wenxia.
He was stunned.
But when that face lowered its eyes, it transformed into Jiang Youran.
When he raises his eyes and smiles, he transforms into Shi Wenxia again.
He then hissed in annoyance, "Don't move!"
Shi Wenxia, who was groping him, saw Yun Tianbai drowsy in the dim candlelight and angrily snorted, "You Ran... don't move!"
She felt terrible.
A chill instantly permeated her entire body.
He actually... he actually thought about that bitch on their wedding night!
So, was the wedding night he stole in his previous life always a regret in his heart?
The regret is that even in this lifetime, I can't forget it, not even in my drunken dreams?
She recalled the news Pei'er had inquired about earlier, saying that the young master had personally designated the new house to be in the Mulan Courtyard where she originally lived.
She thought that he, who also had memories of his past life, was mindful of their past relationship, which was why he settled their new home in her Mulan Courtyard.
Unexpectedly... Could it be that he still harbored regret and guilt towards that bitch, which is why he didn't move the new house to the main courtyard?
Although the Duke and Duchess currently reside in the main courtyard, in her previous life, after Jiang Youran married into the Duke's mansion, the household management was directly handed over to her. As the mistress of the house, it was only natural for her to live in the main courtyard.
In this life, having become the wife of the crown prince, I should soon take charge of the household affairs and move into the main courtyard!
But why, why does the Crown Prince still allow her to live in such a remote Mulan Courtyard?!
Her resentment towards Su Youran intensified.
She stopped what she was doing, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Yun Tianbai woke up to find that his clothes had been changed, and he knew that Shi Wenxia had served him. He also remembered that he had fallen into a deep sleep on his wedding night, and he felt a little guilty.
He then spoke a few words of concern in a gentle voice, quickly got up to wash, and took the bride to Fu'an Hall to serve tea to the elders.
Fu'an Hall was the courtyard where Old Madam Yun lived. In order to avoid the newlyweds having to run from one courtyard to another, all the relatives naturally waited in Fu'an Hall early on.
Yun Tianbai led Shi Wenxia to first offer tea to Madam Yun, then to his father and stepmother, followed by the second and third wives, and then Madam Yu from the fourth wife's family.
Yun Zheng, the fourth uncle of the Yun family, has not returned home and is still wandering in some remote corner of the Northwest.
Shi Wenxia presented the elders with clothes and shoes she had made herself, and the elders gave her generous red envelopes in return.
Shi Wenxia had no family on her mother's side, and for the past few years she had been living and eating at the Duke's mansion. She was short of money and could only do some embroidery to express her feelings.
The elders were all well aware of the situation, so they naturally smiled and accepted the shoes, socks, and clothes presented by the younger generation bride without paying any attention to them.
But when it came to the younger generation, her embroidery skills were simply not up to par.
Yun Tianbai is the eldest brother, and apart from Yun Manwan, all the younger members of the Yun family have to call Shi Wenxia "elder sister-in-law." Naturally, there is no reason for the younger members to give a gift to their elder sister-in-law; only the elder sister-in-law gives a gift to the younger members.
Since Yun Manyan and Yun Manyin are already married, it is naturally impossible for them to sit in Fu'an Hall to receive the newlyweds' family recognition ceremony.
The remaining two brothers, Yun Tianbai and Yun Tiankuang, didn't think much of receiving the shoes and socks made by their eldest sister-in-law. They just laughed and said that they were being treated the same as their elders and thanked their eldest sister-in-law.
But the fourth brother, Yun Tianyi, immediately showed his displeasure, "I thought the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, how come there are only two pairs of shoes? Do you think I'm short of shoes?"
The fifth brother, Yun Tianzhi, simply smiled faintly and said, "Making shoe soles is no easy task, sister-in-law, you've worked hard."
Yun Tianjiao, however, was quite frank: "My mother never sews the soles of shoes herself; she always has the maids and servants do it."
Shi Wenxia's face was already very pale.
Unfortunately, the third daughter, Yun Manying, was also someone who couldn't keep a secret, thanks to the tutelage of Madam Yu. She had also honed her skills for a long time in her eldest sister Yun Manyan's embroidery shop, so she could tell at a glance where the sole of the shoe came from. She frowned and said, "Looking at the stitching of the sole and the handkerchief, it seems to be the work of the Li family's embroidery shop."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wenxia panicked even more.
She was afraid that people would recognize that the embroidery was made by Yunmanwan Embroidery Shop, so she specially asked Peier to go to Li Family Embroidery Shop to buy it.
Fifth Sister Yun Manqian, the daughter of Concubine Shen, was already quite disdainful of receiving only a handkerchief. She thought that Shi Wenxia must have differentiated the gift because of her status as an illegitimate daughter. At this moment, she was even more sarcastic, "Oh dear, even if you want to buy some ready-made handkerchiefs or shoe soles from outside, you should at least support the business of Eldest Sister's embroidery shop. What's the meaning of buying from other people's shops? Isn't the feud between the Li family's embroidery shop and our own Eldest Sister's embroidery shop enough? Who knows how the Li family's embroidery shop is laughing at our Yun family behind our backs!"
Shi Wenxia's face turned pale, and she hurriedly explained, "No. I... I just..."
She glanced at Pei'er beside her and quickly pulled her out, "You brat! Did you buy the handkerchief and shoe soles from the Li family's embroidery shop?"
Pei'er was stunned for a moment.
Shi Wenxia shoved her to the ground and continued, "You two-faced slut! Preparing for the wedding in half a month is far too rushed. I was really in a hurry, so I asked you for a hand, but you actually tried to fob me off with something from the Li Family Embroidery Shop!"
After saying this, she knelt down before Old Madam Yun, tears welling in her eyes. "Grandmother, Mother-in-law, Aunts, I... I just didn't have time, so I asked her to embroider a couple of stitches. I really didn't know that this little hussy would do such a disobedient thing!"
Yun Manying was equally unforgiving, only giving a cold laugh, "Look at the things you sent out, besides those for the elders, there are more than a dozen items just for us juniors. You expect her to embroider a few stitches with so many things? Besides, hasn't my sister-in-law lived in the Duke's mansion for six or seven years? Isn't that enough time for you to embroider a few more stitches?"
