Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 893 - 894: Truly Underestimated That Girl Chuyunyi

Wu Lijuan saw that the Old Master’s expression was a bit better before she spoke, ”I went out with my colleagues today and ran into Chuyunyi.”

Old Master Qin abruptly looked up at Wu Lijuan, ”Where did you meet her?”

Wu Lijuan saw that the Old Master’s face, which had just improved, now didn’t look good again, ”Dad, what’s wrong?”

Old Master Qin sighed, ”I think I can guess what you’re about to say.”

Wu Lijuan looked at the Old Master with suspicion, ”Dad, you...?”

Old Master Qin lightly nodded, ”I was originally planning to go with Old Man Zhao and Old Man Sun to the banquet in the neighboring courtyard, but I found out upon arrival that today the Huo Family’s new daughter-in-law is Yunyi.”

Wu Lijuan looked utterly confused, ”Dad, what are you saying?”

Before the Old Master could say anything, she looked incredulous, ”You’re saying Chuyunyi married into the Huo Family?”

Old Master Qin didn’t want to admit it, but today he saw the wedding photo of the Huo Family’s youngest son and Yunyi, and he had no choice but to believe it.

She left the Qin Family and married someone even better.

Even though they all lived in the compound, the neighboring courtyard was worlds apart from them.

The only reason they could still live here was because of Second Brother Qin Honggang, and also because he didn’t want to move to the retirement home, so the house hadn’t been taken back.

After calling off the engagement with the Chu Family, his second son Qin Honggang had a fallout with them and only came over during holidays to go through the motions, otherwise he rarely visited.

Second Brother Qin Honggang had a good relationship with Yunyi’s adoptive father, Chu Yuanzhan, and when the engagement with the Chu Family was set, the Chu Family initially favored the eldest, Jiangchao, but out of personal interest, he forced the engagement onto that useless Jianghui.

Who would have thought that boy was infatuated with a girl from the Long Family and insisted on calling off the engagement with the Chu Family, no matter how much he explained and reasoned.

Back then, he had thought about matching Yunyi with Jiangchao since Jianghui was causing trouble, but he didn’t expect the second daughter-in-law to directly refuse, saying Jiangchao already had a girlfriend and didn’t want to complicate things further.

Now that Yunyi has married into the neighboring courtyard, they’re bound to meet in the future, and he felt a sense of melancholy.

Though they had already compensated and both families considered the matter settled, now she’d married into a higher status, and even though Jianghui had married into a high-status family, their life was chaotic and disastrous. He feared this would soon reach Yunyi’s ears, making future encounters even more awkward.

It took a while for Wu Lijuan to react, ”Dad, she didn’t marry that youngest son of the Huo Family, did she?”

Old Master Qin gently nodded, ”Yes, she married the youngest son of the Huo Family, Huo Jingrui, who has quickly risen to the deputy regiment position. If he weren’t so young, he might have already been promoted to the full regiment position.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Lijuan’s face went a shade paler, ”I really underestimated that girl, Chuyunyi.”

The words she spoke were overheard by their second daughter-in-law Lin Ziying, who was preparing to go downstairs to find something to eat. She was aware of the situation between her younger brother-in-law and the Chu Family. Her mother-in-law often boasted about marrying into a high-status family, but it seemed it wouldn’t be long before it became a joke.

No, it was already a joke.

After all, her precious young daughter-in-law often threw tantrums, and it gave the neighbors much to laugh about.

Lin Ziying glanced downstairs, her face full of schadenfreude.

Anyway, once the family is divided, her husband is neither the eldest nor the youngest, so the in-laws naturally wouldn’t live with them, and she would only occasionally come back to enjoy the joke.
