Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Discovering a Suspicious Person

Aunt Feng heard Yunyi’s words, her face still troubled: ”Xiaochu, but they have been married for two years now and still haven’t conceived.”

Yunyi glanced at Feng Jiahuan who had her head down: ”Aunt, actually, when it comes to pregnancy, it’s not just problems with the woman’s body that can cause issues; if the man has problems, it can lead to difficulties too.”

She could only say this much; the rest was up to them.

Yunyi’s words caused Aunt Feng to be stunned there for a moment, even Feng Jiahuan, who had been keeping her head down, looked up at Yunyi.

Yunyi nodded towards them: ”It’s like farming — if the seed is bad, the soil won’t matter no matter how fertile it is. The words may be rough, but the reasoning isn’t; you should ponder it over.”

After speaking, Yunyi looked at the watch on her wrist.

Only then did Aunt Feng react: ”Look at me, I was just asking questions — we should be heading back.”

Yunyi quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Aunt Feng: ”You can keep this prescription. If you want to condition your body, you can get the medicine; otherwise, it’s fine.”

Having done what she could, it was settled. After all, they came at this precise time, likely not wanting anyone to know, and she didn’t need to say more.

Aunt Feng and her daughter took the prescription: ”Xiaochu, Jiahuan and I have other matters to attend to, so we won’t be leaving with you.”

Yunyi nodded: ”Okay.”

Aunt Feng’s intentions were clear to Yunyi.

She tidied up and changed clothes, then prepared to go downstairs.

Just as she got downstairs, intending to search for any sign of Huo Jingrui, her eyes caught the glimpse of a figure darting through the small grove beside her. Her eyesight was good, and it was clear that something wasn’t right with that person.

Originally, she didn’t want to get involved but felt uneasy inside.

If it was out of concern, she certainly had it; after all, given Huo Jingrui’s position as deputy director, if anything happened, he would likely be implicated.

So she lifted her foot and followed along, since the end of the grove led to the factory’s wall, and inside was the warehouse of the machinery factory.

Yunyi moved swiftly, and within moments saw the figure from before, though the person was indeed cautious. If it weren’t for Yunyi’s skills and slim build, following would’ve been difficult.

To her surprise, the person never stopped and exited the grove, but the grove’s end led to the wall.

At the moment, she couldn’t fathom what this person was planning?

She saw the person looking around stealthily before starting to dig beneath a tree.

Then they placed something inside, covered it with soil, and meticulously ensured the traces were erased before quickly retracing their steps.

At this time, Yunyi, sitting in the tree, clearly watched the whole thing.

She kept her gaze on the tree, pondering whether to retrieve the item now or wait to see who would come for it.

Just as she hadn’t made up her mind, she heard noise from the wall at the grove’s end.

Yunyi sat high in the tree and saw two people crouching at the wall from below.

She scanned her surroundings and swiftly leaped several times to the tree where the item was buried — the most dangerous spot is the safest place. If there really was danger, she could always enter the space.

She barely found a spot to sit when she heard voices from the other side of the wall: ”I’ll go over alone, you two wait here for my signal.”

As she watched, the person stepped on the shoulders of the other two, scaling the wall: ”Brother Qiang, be careful.”

After climbing up, the person straddled the top of the wall, surveyed the surroundings, and found nothing unusual before jumping down.

Then they cautiously approached the tree, confirmed several times, and began digging.
