Good Ending: She Swears She Will Not Let Him Die!

Chapter 317: Chapter 316: Joy

Mrs. Zhang is Yaya’s dowry companion.

Miao Clan is thinking about Yaya, and seeing Mrs. Zhang, she suddenly feels a tightness in her heart, unable to quite explain what she is feeling.

Mrs. Zhang, dressed in reddish-brown attire, has her hair shiny and sleek. She is over forty, with a face full of wrinkles, and when she smiles, the fine lines around her eyes are very apparent.

Such a joyous atmosphere, Miao Clan doesn’t wait for Mrs. Zhang to speak, stands up excitedly, and asks, ”Is there good news from Yun Ying?”

Mrs. Zhang curtsies, her eyes narrowing with laughter: ”Madam guessed right, Old Madam and Madam, our lady has good news.”

Good news at home naturally brings happiness to all.

Old Mrs. Xia bursts into laughter, ordering Nanny Xu to hand out rewards generously.

Miao Clan joins her palms in a Buddha gesture, unable to contain her smile: ”It’s been a year now, I’ve waited day and night, and finally there’s news, Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha.”

Miao Clan then asks carefully about Yun Ying’s condition.

Mrs. Zhang says: ”Originally, our lady was to return to the manor for the feast, but after having a cup of honey water to soothe her throat this morning, she vomited it all out, and Mr. Si sent for the medical woman.

Once the medical woman examined her, she exclaimed it was a joyous pulse, which delighted Mr. Si greatly.

Receiving the news, Lord and Madam there were extremely happy, Madam said, our lady is plagued with joy sickness, the fetus is not stable, so she shouldn’t be traveling back and forth, also saying Madam is surely concerned, and inviting Madam to visit when she has free time.”

”I must go, I must go, tell Yun Ying that I will visit her tomorrow.” Miao Clan, beaming with joy, moves to send off Mrs. Zhang, turning to Yun Hu with a smile, ”Today Yun Ying is absent, do not mind, later I will ask her to make up her drink to you.”

”Third Sister needs to focus on nurturing the fetus, now that I’ve returned to the capital, would we sisters worry about not seeing each other?” Yun Hu smiled with eyes curved, ”Second Aunt, it’s a good day for Third Sister today, during the feast later, you must have a few more drinks.”

Laughter fills the room.

Yunluo listens to Yun Hu speak, knowing that she was greatly favored by her legitimate mother while in Lindong.

Yan’s favoritism towards Yun Hu is different from Liao’s treatment of Yunuo.

Precisely because of this, Yun Hu’s personality is cheerful, able to joke and laugh with relatives not seen for years, without shyness or low self-esteem.

Old Mrs. Xia happily distributed silver rewards, missing no one, even including Yunluo.

Yunluo thumbed her gold ingot slowly.

Yun Ru lowly asked her: ”When can you also make the maid come back to report good news?”

Yunluo pursed her lips, teasing Sister Yi with the gold ingot, glanced at her, and said, ”Big Sister is even more anxious than Mother, Mother has only urged you when Brother-in-law returned to the capital, and you start urging me now, hasn’t the Princely Heir returned yet.”

Yun Ru’s face turned a bright red.

She certainly remembers that it was the first New Year after her marriage, Mrs. Zhen wanted to remind her to conceive while Shao Yuanzhou was in the capital, so she kept winking at Yun Luo to make her leave.

But Yun Luo, being clever, had seen through Mrs. Zhen’s intentions early on, and with a thick face, stared at her for a moment, then laughed and left.

Really a little rascal!

Yun Ru gave Yun Luo a reproachful glance, her caring for her in return being mocked by that rascal.

After all, being a mother herself, Yun Ru’s face is much thicker than it was before, she said: ”You should take good care of your health, and once the Princely Heir returns, don’t miss the opportunity.”

Yun Luo blinked, what she needs now is not to recover her health, but to cause more trouble for the second household.

This idea can only revolve in her mind.

Yun Luo whispered: ”I understand, I also want the maid to come back and report good news...”

The soft voice carried a hint of low mood, Yun Ru noticed and comforted her gently: ”Don’t worry, your time with the Princely Heir is still short, in the future, spending more time together will naturally bring it.”

Yun Luo felt surprised, is this still her Big Sister with skin as thin as paper?

The once timid Yun Ru, who would hide away in the green gauze cabinet when the Shao family’s Second Brother was mentioned, is now very different.

Yun Luo felt a slight regret, the easily teased and embarrassed Yun Ru was much more fun.

She pursed her lips, her eyes turning, leaned close to Yun Ru’s ear and said: ”That is what the Princely Heir said to me.”

Yun Ru’s eyes widened, nearly exclaiming, where was Yun Luo’s trace of negativity?

”Always spouting nonsense!” Yun Ru glared at her, ”What the Princely Heir said, keep it to yourself, why say it out loud!”

Yun Luo chortled.

The two sisters joked, accompanied by Yun Lang and Yun Lan, Second Young Master Shen arrived.

Yun Luo raised her eyes to examine Second Young Master Shen.

His face is like jade, his manners gentle, exuding a scholarly temperament, a genteel young man.

Second Young Master Shen married Yun Hu for more than a year, yet this was his first time meeting Du family relatives in the capital. Guided by Yun Hu, he first kowtowed to Old Mrs. Xia, then met with several aunts, and then Yun Hu’s sisters-in-law and sisters.

Old Mrs. Xia was very pleased, and said to the daughters-in-law, ”Look at this appearance, these manners, no wonder years ago, Huairang’s wife insisted on having him as our son-in-law.”

Old Madam is pleased, and naturally, there is a chorus of agreement below.

Not only praising Second Young Master Shen, but all other sons-in-law were also praised, even Ying Ji, who has not yet completed the grand ceremony, was complimented, exalting the five brothers-in-law as if unrivaled.

Some quick-witted people, after praising the sons-in-law they praised the wives, from the Yan Family in Lindong, praised Xia Anxin, then praised Jiang Si Niang, finally saying: ”Really curious which lady our Mr. Si will marry.”

Old Mrs. Xia grinned widely and asked Mrs. Zhen, ”Huaili’s wife, where will you find a match for Yun Di?”

Mrs. Zhen stood up, smiling as she performed a grand ritual: ”I seek Old Madam’s decision.”

Old Mrs. Xia pointed out the window at the birdcage, saying, ”Where can I make a decision, you should ask Yaya’s grandfather.”

Speaking the words, Old Mrs. Xia herself laughed heartily.

Laughter fills the room, the atmosphere harmonious and merry.

The welcome banquet was arranged in the Flower Hall at noon, with Huaili and Huai’en having a day off, the dining hall was lively.

Old Mrs. Xia had a couple more drinks, and after the meal, she rested on the couch.

Yun Luo returned to Qinghui Garden from Lianfu Garden.

In the alcove, Huaili was amusing Sister Yi, while Yun Ru and Mrs. Zhen conversed quietly.

As soon as Yun Luo entered, Mrs. Zhen embraced her to sit.

”Mother, what are you discussing with Big Sister?” Yun Luo asked with a smile.

”Discussing your Second Brother-in-law,” Mrs. Zhen replied, ”Seems like he has a scholarly air about him, your father just said, even the Old Grandfather praises his writing.”

”If Grandfather praises him, it must be true,” Yun Luo recalled Madam Wu’s words and then asked Huaili, ”Father, I’ve heard next year the Holy Emperor is hosting the special examination?”

Huaili queried, ”Where did you hear this news?”

”News from my mother-in-law’s family, the Zhou Family,” Yun Luo said truthfully.

”Indeed there is such a matter,” Huaili pondered, ”Father entered the palace last month to lecture the Imperial Grandson, and the Holy Emperor mentioned it. Finalization is pending, but it’s almost certain.”

After speaking, Huaili instructed Yun Ru, ”Yuanzhou has a solid foundation, now is a good chance for a try, you should give him a hint.”

Yun Ru agreed, then asked: ”Will Fourth Brother participate in the exam?”

Huaili’s brows furrowed slightly: ”It’s up to him, he can try if he wishes, or study another year and wait for the spring examination the year after.”
