Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 953 - 957: This Young Couple Is So Loving

Yunyi has lived through several lifetimes, she’s seen all kinds of people, and it’s clear that Liang Xue has been manipulated.

She glanced at Yu Liqin, who seemed to be smoothing things over for Liang Xue, and understood: she just didn’t know why this woman was doing this, it seemed like she needed to ask Huo Jingrui later.

Yunyi gave Liang Xue a faint smile, ”Even if I hadn’t taken the college entrance exam, I wouldn’t compete for that spot. After all, my personality doesn’t suit teaching, so I won’t ruin the prospects of future generations.”

Liang Xue was clearly relieved at Yunyi’s words.

She really needed this job, and if the person in front of her were to compete with her, she was truly afraid of losing this opportunity: ”I’m sorry, I was being reckless.”

Yunyi smiled at her, ”I understand.”

However, she changed her tone and said, ”Being too trusting of others is not a good thing.”

Liang Xue froze at this and suddenly thought of something, turning to look at Yu Liqin, whose expression was a bit unnatural.

Before she could say anything, other military wives entered the courtyard, making it lively and bustling all at once.

Since all the ingredients had been prepared, there was basically nothing much to do, so after chatting with everyone for a while, she asked a few nearby sisters-in-law to each go home and bring their tables and stools.

Yunyi was the head chef, with Wan Ruhua and Sun Yanru assisting. As dish after dish was served, the courtyard soon filled with tantalizing aromas, with quite a few children gathering at the gate.

Even though Sister-in-law Lü had helped prepare the ingredients yesterday, she was astonished at today’s dishes: potato chicken pieces, carrot stewed rabbit, shredded pork with snow cabbage, stewed ribs, braised fish pieces, chopped chili fish head, red-braised pork, braised pork with vermicelli and cabbage, vinegar potato shreds, homestyle tofu, and finally an egg soup.

Apart from the steamed buns and flower rolls made yesterday, Yunyi also prepared a big pot of mixed rice today.

Just as she got everything ready, Huo Jingrui hurried back.

Yunyi heard the commotion in the courtyard and came out to see Huo Jingrui carrying a case of wine into the courtyard.

Seeing Yunyi come out, he walked straight to her, ”Yi’er, I’m back, you’ve worked hard.”

Wan Ruhua was about to come out when she heard Huo Jingrui’s words and turned to Sun Yanru beside her, ”This young couple’s relationship is really good.”

Sun Yanru smiled and nodded, and the two of them tactfully returned to the kitchen.

After that, Huo Jingrui took over all the work, nudging Yunyi to let her take a rest.

Yunyi naturally wouldn’t refuse his kindness. She took off her apron, greeted the two sisters-in-law in the kitchen, and carried a basin of water back to the east room.

She locked the door, drew the curtains, and slipped into her private space.

She quickly soaked in the hot spring pool to wash away the smell of oil and smoke, changed into the clothes she brought in, and put on a light makeup before leaving her space.

She tossed the towel she used to dry her hair into the basin and stirred it around messily until there were even water stains on the floor, then she opened the door.

Huo Jingrui had been paying attention to the movement here, and when he saw the door open, he brought a mop over to help Yunyi wipe the floor clean.

The military wives in the courtyard were buzzing, ”I never thought the usually aloof Deputy Regimental Commander Huo would pamper his wife so much. If I’d known earlier, I would’ve introduced my sister to him.”

”Give me a break, didn’t you see how beautiful Deputy Regimental Commander Huo’s wife is.”

”I heard she even took the college entrance exam this year, she might even be a college student.”

The military wife who spoke before was a little unconvinced and said, ”You think anyone can get into college? Lots of people take the college entrance exam.”

The voices of their discussion were heard clearly by Yunyi and Huo Jingrui.
