The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

 

This was not an easy question for Mama Li to answer.

 

Qiu Shi's heart was full of anger and complaints, but what should be done must be done.
Otherwise, not only would she be laughed at by outsiders, even the Old Lady would not give her a good look either.

 

After tidying herself up, Qiu Shi said, “There shouldn't be many guests today, so tell Yuxi not to come out and stay in the courtyard.” Even if Yuxi had been adopted by the Main House, she was still Han Jingyan's own daughter.
It was better not to come out on such occasions to avoid hearing any sarcastic remarks. 

 

Not only did Yuxi not come out to greet the guests, but neither did Yuchen nor Yurong.
It was good that the friends and relatives who came to the house as guests this time did not bring any young misses over either.

 

Yuxi was at Taoran House and heard no movement up until it was noon.
She was so amazed that she asked, “Why is there no sound at all?” It was unbelievable that the residence would be so quiet for such a big celebration.
Even if it was done simply, this was just too simple!

 

Momo Quan answered, “There is always the need to take care of the Third Miss' face.” The Third Miss would get married next year.
If the Third Lord made a big deal of his own marriage, the Third Miss' reputation would not look good.

 

Yuxi snorted.
“If he really cared about San Jie's face, he wouldn't have taken a wife at this time.” Han Jingyan was a selfish and self-interested person.
The most important thing in his heart was himself.
When did he ever think about other people?

 

Momo Quan felt that this topic was too sensitive and should not be discussed.
“Miss, you still have to embroider your head covering.
So you'd better go and embroider it!” Yuxi's wedding dress had been embroidered six months ago.
There was no way around it.
Since Yuxi had done it with both hands, her speed was generally fast.
Without anyone help, she had finished it quickly.
Most of the quilts and pillows were embroidered by the maids, so the progress had been even faster.
The only thing Yuxi was not happy about was her head covering.

Yuxi responded, “There is no hurry.” There was still more than half a year to go.
Thus she wasn't worried that the embroidery would not be good. [+]

 

Zisu thought it would be better to go and do the embroidery work instead of letting Miss think about other things.
“Miss, you should finish the head covering early.
Then you won't have to think about it all the time, right?”

 

Yuxi was not in the mood to embroider the head covering at this time.
“I can't embroider the head covering right now, but I can practice my calligraphy.”

 

After practising her calligraphy for half a shichen, Yuxi's mind became utterly calm.
That afternoon, Zisu reported to Yuxi, “Miss, the new Third Lady looks delicate and beautiful.”

 

Yuxi smiled.
“Really? Let's see how beautiful she really is tomorrow.”

 

On the second day of the marriage, Yuxi was in no hurry.
She only freshened herself up after practising a set of wuqinxi.
This delay meant that she was the last one to arrive in the Main Courtyard.

 

By this time, the house was already packed with people.
Not only was the Old Lady and Qiu Shi present, but so were Dage and Er Ge! As for the newcomer, she was preparing to offer tea!

 

Yuxi seemed not to notice Han Jingyan's ugly face.
After offering her greeting, she stood extremely cleverly behind Qiu Shi.

 

Han Jingyan was very unhappy with this late appearance of Yuxi.
It was just that he knew that he could no longer reprimand her with his current status.
Otherwise, his Dasao would not give him any face.

Everyone in the room had witnessed Han Jingyan's expression and knew that he was very unhappy with Yuxi's late arrival.
The Old Lady was not blind either.
She naturally saw it too and said expressionlessly, “Serve the tea!” To be honest, the Old Lady really did not want to drink this cup of tea from her new daughter-in-law.
Since Han Jingyan was already old and had five children so far, she did not want him to remarry.
At that time, when Han Jingyan told her his remarriage plan, she immediately disapproved of it.
Her intention was for him to take a high-ranking concubine so that there would be someone to look after his daily life and manage the internal affairs of the Third House.
However, Han Jingyan thought that it would be better to take a wife than a concubine.
Hence, the Old Lady could no longer resist and let him have his way.

When Yuxi was told to stand up, she looked up at Wen Shi, clearly seeing her face.
She understood why Han Jingyan had taken her as his new wife.
Wen Shi's small face was only palm-sized.
Her features were good-looking, her eyes were beautiful, her skin was delicate and smooth, and her cherry mouth was bare.
It was easy for a woman like this to seduce a man's heart.

 

Yuchen took the gift and responded politely and distantly, “Thank you, Mother.” No matter how reluctant she was, this woman was still the wife that her father had taken into the residence.

 

Next, it was Yuxi's turn.
With a smile, Wen Shi handed the prepared hebao to Yuxi with both hands and said, “They are all small trinkets.
I hope Fourth Miss won't mind them.” To marry into the State Residence, she naturally needed to have an understanding of the situation there.
It was said that the male members of the Third House were not prominent, but its two young misses were very famous.
It was good that the Fourth Miss had already been adopted out, and the Third Miss was about to get married.
Otherwise, she would really be under tremendous pressure.

 

Yuxi took it and handed the hebao to Zisu beside her while saying expressionlessly, “Thank you, San Shen (san=third, shen=wife of father's younger brother).” There was no need to put on a smile with her current status.

 

Han Jingyan's face darkened a little as he watched how Yuxi looked as if she didn't put Wen Shi in her eyes.
Since her adoption to the Main House, this girl's attitude had become even more arrogant, and she had a tendency to lean towards Qiu Shi.
Han Jingyan wanted to reprimand Yuxi, but Qiu Shi was still staring at him at this moment!

 

Yurong took Wen Shi's gift with both hands and said respectfully, “Thank you, Mother.” Since Yuchen already bowed her head, what else could she do?
