Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 466: Chapter 466 Taken Away for Investigation

While Huo Jingrui was taking a bath, Yunyi went to the storage room and retrieved a piece of fine cotton cloth. Using a sewing machine she had received from the Shen Family in Beijing, she made him a pair of shorts. The cotton fabric of this era didn’t contain any harmful substances, so there was no need to wash it first.

After drinking a cup of Spiritual Spring Water and soaking in the hot spring bath, his body had recovered considerably.

Yunyi placed the shorts she had made outside the stone door. ”Jingrui, I made you a new pair of shorts. Remember to push the stone door open and get them yourself later.”

After speaking, she quickly moved away from the door. His physique was so tempting; she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to control herself and would make a fool of herself again.

Leaving the stone house, she saw that the fruits she had planted in the distance were ripe. She decided to pick some for Huo Jingrui to take with him. The fruits grown in her space not only looked good but also tasted excellent.

No sooner said than done, she grabbed the basket she had previously brought into the space and, with a few leaps, reached the base of the fruit trees.

With her Qinggong skills, picking fruit was naturally effortless. She picked more of the seasonal fruits like pears, apples, and oranges, and only a few of those that shouldn’t be in season. Just enough for him to try, she thought, best not to cause any trouble if I’m not careful.

By the time Huo Jingrui had tidied himself up and emerged, Yunyi had already prepared everything. ”Yi’er, what are you doing?”

Yunyi packed the fruits that couldn’t be seen by outsiders into a cloth bag, while those that could be openly displayed were placed in the basket. ”The fruits in the cloth bag are for you to eat by yourself; don’t let others see them.

”The basket contains all seasonal fruits, which can be displayed openly. I’m sure you won’t have much leisure time these next few days, so these fruits will help nourish your body.”

Huo Jingrui was deeply touched. ”Yi’er, thank you.”

Yunyi reached out and touched Huo Jingrui’s face. ”There’s no need for such courtesy between us.”

Huo Jingrui gazed steadily at Yunyi. ”In this lifetime, I may have lost my status, but for you, I will strive.”

Yunyi knew what he meant and said with a smile, ”Good, I will wait. But no matter what you do, you must always prioritize your safety and take care of yourself. Otherwise, nothing else matters.”

Huo Jingrui pulled her into a tight embrace. ”I’ll remember that.”

Because time was short and he had to rush back to the county overnight, they were affectionate for a little while longer before finally leaving the space.

Huo Jingrui carried the basket to the vehicle. ”Yi’er, head back now. I’ll come over if there’s any news. You also need to remain vigilant when coming and going these next few days.”

After seeing Huo Jingrui off, Yunyi didn’t return to her small courtyard. Instead, she locked the door and headed towards the Zhiqing Point.

It was only when she returned yesterday that she saw the note left by Ye Wenhui. Apparently, Qiao Shaoguo felt their previous explanation was inadequate. So, after coming down the mountain, Ye Wenhui hadn’t gone to Yunyi’s small courtyard; instead, Qiao Shaoguo had arranged for her to help at the health clinic. This was so someone could vouch for her later if trouble arose.

Qiao Shaoguo knew the Ye Family. During Shi Jingfang’s last visit, she had specifically asked him to take extra care of the young lady. Therefore, to prevent future complications, he had taken Ye Wenhui directly to the health clinic. After all, everyone was in a panic that night; who would remember exactly when she had shown up? As long as someone had seen her helping at the health clinic, that would suffice.

Yunyi acknowledged that Qiao Shaoguo had indeed been very thorough.

She went straight to Ye Wenhui’s dormitory.

Ye Wenhui, who knew Yunyi had returned during the day, finally felt her anxious heart settle. Still, the previous day’s incident had thoroughly frightened her, and she had been in bed all day.

”Sister, I’ve come to see you,” Yunyi said, approaching her.

Ye Wenhui looked her up and down several times. ”Good, you’re not injured. Otherwise, how could I explain it to our family?”

Yunyi laughed. ”See? I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?”

Although Ye Wenhui was angry seeing Yunyi’s demeanor, she knew her younger cousin was quite headstrong. Besides, if it hadn’t been for Yunyi, she really would have been in dire straits this time. So, she didn’t pursue the topic further.

Noticing that no one else in the dormitory was paying attention to them, Ye Wenhui leaned closer to Yunyi’s ear and whispered, her voice low, ”Ye Wenjuan has been taken away for investigation, but it hasn’t been publicized. The official story is that the group asked her to go and help with something.”

It was obvious, even without asking, that Qiao Shaoguo must have helped with this, all for the sake of the Ye Family’s reputation.

Seeing Yunyi remain silent, Ye Wenhui continued, ”Don’t worry, I’ll tell our family exactly what happened this time. The fact that she isn’t a true daughter of the Ye Family must be made widely known. The Ye Family’s resources absolutely cannot be squandered on her.”
