Sister 5
Chapter 5
As soon as Yu Rubing entered the hall, she saw her grandmother sitting at the dining table, dignified and kind, making people respect and love her.
Yu Rubing called out sweetly, "Grandma! I'm late!"
Madam Yu looked at Yu Rubing with a doting smile on her face. Seeing Yu Rubing coming over, she personally moved a stool for her and patted her on the waist. "You, child, are becoming more and more willful. Your father was entertaining male guests yesterday, and what were you doing there?"
As Madam Yu set the table for Yu Rubing, she continued to gently scold her, "You're still an unmarried girl. Showing up like this all day is not good for your reputation."
Yu Rubing listened to her grandmother's scolding and pouted, seeming to feel aggrieved. Her meticulously carved face was so endearing. "Then I'll listen to you, Grandma. I'll stay home from now on and won't go anywhere."
Madam Yu raised her eyebrows after hearing this, having already seen through Yu Rubing's subtle thoughts. "Don't try to coax me with words. The old princess didn't mention anyone else but you. She insisted that I bring you with me today. If you don't go, how can I reply to the old princess?"
Yu Rubing listened and smiled sweetly, "I'll just listen to my grandma!"
It was rare for Old Madam Yu to see Yu Rubing so obedient. She caressed her granddaughter's hair lovingly and said lightly, "Eat!"
Yu Miaoyin and Aunt Zhao were already accustomed to such scenes. Aunt Zhao would just listen quietly without saying a word, and Yu Miaoyin did the same. She usually didn't think anything of it, but today, seeing the harmonious and harmonious scene, she felt particularly upset.
In the past, Yu Miaoyin always felt that she could never compare to her elder sister, and it was natural that her elder sister was treated preferentially in every way.
But just yesterday, Master Di suddenly confessed his feelings to me, saying that the woman he had been fond of for a long time was actually me.
Yu Miaoyin was shocked and asked Master Di why he didn't tell her earlier. Master Di admitted that he had just made up his mind.
Yu Miaoyin was shocked, but even more so, she was overjoyed.
What a man Mr. Di is, he is one in a million and stands out from the crowd.
Although she had expressed her feelings, she knew very well that there were many women who admired Mr. Di, including her arrogant sister.
How graceful and arrogant her elder sister was. Yu Miaoyin had seen with her own eyes that her elder sister never said a word to the men who admired her.
But towards Mr. Di, my sister was surprisingly patient, even to the point of actively bowing her head.
Yu Miaoyin saw it all. Even though she admired Master Di, she knew in her heart that with a beauty like her sister around, it would be even harder for Master Di to notice her.
I never expected that between my sister and myself, Master Di would favor me.
Yu Miaoyin actually didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that at that moment, she felt a sense of pride.
My sister is usually cold and indifferent to me, and sometimes she loses her temper, but generally speaking she is not a bad person.
However, ever since she was old enough to understand, her sister has been treated preferentially in every way. She has always felt depressed and uncomfortable seeing this.
When Master Di expressed his feelings to her, the depressed feeling that had been pent up for more than ten years was finally released!
Yu Miaoyin was particularly open-minded. In the past, when she encountered such situations, she would just keep quiet.
Things are different now. Seeing that her sister clearly did something wrong but still acted like a spoiled brat, Yu Miaoyin couldn't help but want to say a few words.
After carefully considering her words, Yu Miaoyin adjusted her tone, trying her best to sound concerned. "Grandma is doing this for Sister's own good. Sister has always been used to being free. Others don't know the inside story, so I'm afraid they might plot against her behind her back."
After Yu Miaoyin said this, she was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out. She couldn't believe that these words came out of her mouth one day, and she said it in front of her sister.
Not only she couldn't believe it, but the three people present couldn't believe it either. Even the maid who was serving the dishes couldn't help but tremble her hands.
After hearing Yu Miaoyin's words of concern for her sister, a trace of panic flashed in her mother Aunt Zhao's eyes.
Under the table, Aunt Zhao quickly stepped on Yu Miaoyin with her foot.
She couldn't understand why her daughter was so talkative today. The old lady just needed to scold her a few words. How could she respond to that?
In the Yu family, her relationship with Yu Rubing is the most delicate.
Ever since she married into the Yu family, she knew that her husband and his first wife were deeply in love and that he loved their daughter very much. Yu Rubing was raised by her mother-in-law since she was a child.
She also had a headache about getting along with Yu Rubing, but fortunately her mother-in-law was sensible and took care of all of Yu Rubing's affairs, big or small, so she didn't have to intervene, which naturally saved her a lot of trouble.
In addition, although Yu Rubing is cold and arrogant by nature, you will find that she is not unreasonable after getting along with her for a long time.
Therefore, over the years, Aunt Zhao's way of getting along with Yu Rubing has been to respect each other and not interfere with each other.
Over the years, although the two of them did not get along very well, they got along well. Aunt Zhao also educated her daughter Yu Miaoyin in the same way, respecting her and valuing her, but not interfering in her affairs.
Today, Yu Miaoyin's words were so inappropriate.
Similarly, when Old Madam Yu heard this, although her expression did not change, a hint of surprise flashed through her mind. Although what Yu Miaoyin said sounded right, it did not bring much warmth to her ears.
And what about Yu Rubing?
She knew more than Yu Miaoyin, and when she heard her say such rash words, she guessed that it must be related to Di Wenbin.
The two fell in love with each other, and before long, Di Wenbin would come to propose marriage. For a concubine's daughter, marrying into the general's mansion was considered a happy marriage, even though she was born in a wealthy family.
With confidence, his speaking manner will naturally be different, and he can criticize his sister under the guise of concern.
Yu Rubing had no intention of giving in to her. After hearing what Yu Miaoyin said, Yu Rubing smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about it. Let others say whatever they want. After all, it's my reputation that's being ruined, and it's also my marriage that's being affected. It won't hinder your sister's grand wedding."
Hearing Yu Rubing's retort, Yu Miaoyin's face turned pale. She regretted what she had said without thinking just now, and turned back into the bullied sister. Her eyes were red with grievance: "Sister, that's not what I meant."
Aunt Zhao was embarrassed to hear this. She knew Yu Rubing's temper very well, but Yu Miaoyin still spoke so rashly. She quickly scolded Yu Miaoyin, "This child, you are so careless with your words. You shouldn't talk to your sister like that. Why don't you apologize quickly?"
After hearing this, Yu Miaoyin's eyes turned even redder, and she whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry!"
If it was just Yu Miaoyin, Yu Rubing would have ignored her, but since Aunt Zhao said so, Yu Rubing had no choice but to say, "Aunt, you are too kind. My sister just said it casually and didn't take it to heart."
Madam Yu also stepped forward and said, "It's common for sisters to argue with each other. Just forget it once it's said. Don't worry about it. Let's eat quickly."
Yu Miaoyin and Aunt Zhao stopped talking, picked up their bowls and drank the porridge silently. Yu Rubing and Old Madam Yu were chatting intermittently.
After breakfast, the servant came in to report that the coachman had ready the carriage, and then Madam Yu took Yu Rubing out.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Yu Miaoyin couldn't help but call out, "Grandma?"
Madam Yu turned around and asked her, "Miaoyin, is there anything else?"
"Me!" Yu Miaoyin hesitated, her eyes full of hope. "Grandma, I want to go too."
Mrs. Zhao, who was standing by, heard this and quickly stopped her, saying, "Girl, why are you joining in the fun again?"
Seeing that Aunt Zhao was trying to stop her, Yu Miaoyin couldn't say it out loud, and her eyes became red with grievance again.
Aunt Zhao was unaware of this, but Yu Rubing was.
I'm afraid that Di Wenbin also went to Prince Qi's Mansion today!
Old Madam Yu had not originally planned to bring her granddaughter to the banquet. She brought Yu Rubing purely because of the old princess's order, so she had no plans to bring Yu Miaoyin along.
But now, seeing Yu Miaoyin stubbornly trying to go, and Aunt Zhao trying to stop her, Old Madam Yu didn't want the mother and daughter to think that she, as a grandmother, was too partial, so she said, "It was originally my fault for being careless and leaving you behind. If you want to go, then come with me!"
Hearing that Old Madam Yu had given in, Yu Miaoyin smiled happily and hurriedly followed.
Several people got on the carriage and rushed to the Prince of Qi's Mansion.
On the way, Old Madam Yu closed her eyes and took a nap, Yu Rubing opened the curtain and looked at the street scene outside the car, while Yu Miaoyin stared at Yu Rubing with her lips tightly pursed, as if she had something to say.
Yu Rubing had already seen it out of the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to see it.
Yu Miaoyin really wanted to ask something. Firstly, she wanted to say a few words to ease the awkward atmosphere between the sisters. Secondly, Yu Miaoyin still couldn't believe that she and Di Wenbin suddenly fell in love with each other. She wanted to test Yu Rubing's attitude and find out what Yu Rubing had said to Di Wenbin that day, and what was Di Wenbin's attitude towards Rubing?
But until the carriage arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, Yu Miaoyin didn't find a chance to speak.
Yu Miaoyin looked embarrassed as she watched Yu Rubing get off the carriage, holding onto Old Madam Yu's arm, and walking straight into the palace under the guidance of the palace servants.
Compared with the Yu family's mansion, the Prince of Qi's mansion is much taller and more imposing, with mountains, rocks, flowers, plants, pavilions and towers, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Even the servants in the palace were very arrogant. Even when facing such a prominent family, they were polite and showed the status of the host.
No wonder!
The King of Qi is the cousin of the current emperor. He is the most respected among the royal family and a very important figure in the court.
Yu Rubing came today not only because of Old Madam Yu, but more because of the most powerful golden thigh, the new King of Qi who will have great power in the future, and the only legitimate son of the King of Qi, who is the arrogant Crown Prince at this time.
Yu Rubing looked around, wondering if she could run into the prince.
Seeing that Yu Rubing was in a trance, Old Madam Yu asked her if she was feeling unwell.
Yu Rubing made an excuse, saying that she wanted to rest on the spot so as not to lose her manners in front of the old princess, and asked Madam Yu and Yu Miaoyin to go to the banquet first.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yu nodded in approval.
Yu Miaoyin looked at Yu Rubing deeply, her eyes full of worry. She was worried that the reason Yu Rubing avoided her was because of that person.
