Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 960 - 964: Visit to the Zeng Family

Huo Jingrui and Yunyi didn’t visit the Zeng Family empty-handed. Yunyi took a linden tree branch from her space, personally carved a box, and placed a thirty-year-old ginseng inside as a birthday gift for Old Lady Zeng.

By the time they arrived, there were already quite a few guests at the Zeng Family residence.

As soon as they got off the car, someone came over to greet them: ”Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, please follow me. Our old lady has been waiting for quite some time.”

Yunyi frowned slightly at the person in front of her but thought it through and felt at ease. Since she and Jingrui were married, the form of address wasn’t incorrect.

The couple followed the person and walked inside.

Along the way, they naturally encountered many acquaintances, and Huo Jingrui nodded in acknowledgement to each of them.

A number of guests were gathered in the main hall in front of Old Master Zeng and Old Lady Zeng.

The person leading the way stepped forward and said, ”Old Master, Old Lady, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo have arrived.”

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two elders immediately brightened: ”Where are they?”

The person glanced toward where Huo Jingrui and Yunyi were standing.

Huo Jingrui and Yunyi stepped forward: ”Greetings, Old Master Zeng and Old Lady Zeng.”

Old Master Zeng looked at the two in front of him and smiled, his face creasing: ”Good, good, come and sit down.”

As soon as he spoke, the people gathered around naturally made space for them.

Old Lady Zeng got up and took Yunyi’s hand: ”Are you Chuyunyi?”

Yunyi nodded gently: ”Yes.”

The old lady gratefully said: ”Yunyi, may I call you that?”

Yunyi smiled and nodded: ”Of course you can.”

The old lady looked at Yunyi with kindness: ”If it weren’t for you, my poor great-grandchildren might not have survived. You not only saved their lives but also fulfilled the Zeng Family’s dream.”

Yunyi still didn’t quite understand what exactly was going on with the three children and the Zeng Family.

At that, the old lady stood up: ”Come, let me show you something.”

Beside them, an auntie reminded: ”Old Lady, take it slow.”

After saying this, she followed behind them.

Yunyi looked at Huo Jingrui, and seeing him nod at her, she followed the old lady to the backyard.

They entered the central courtyard with the old lady.

Only to hear the old lady say: ”Rong Wan, bring me my photo album.”

The auntie who followed them replied and went to the cabinet on the side, pulled open a drawer, and took out a photo album.

The old lady took it, her hand trembling slightly, and pointed to the photos as she flipped through them: ”These are photos of Runze’s father when he was young. Back then, their grandfather went to war and left his wife and children back home...”

It turned out that the father of those three children was He Xinming, the lost grandson of Old Lady Zeng. They had only learned of this after many twists and turns. Unfortunately, by the time they found him, the grandson had already passed away.

At that time, the three children were helplessly caring for a gravely ill Grandma. Once she confirmed that the visitors were indeed her son-in-law’s relatives, she finally found peace.

Even though the Zeng Family had brought the best doctors, they couldn’t save her.

Afterward, the three children were brought back to Beijing by the Zeng Family.

The return of the children rekindled hope for the Zeng Family.

After all, the elderly Zeng couple had only one son and one daughter. Since the grandson went missing, the daughter-in-law fell ill and passed away with unresolved regrets.

Their son, Zeng Youzhi, received news of his wife’s death, hurried back to handle her affairs, and then devoted his life to searching for their lost son. This search lasted most of his life.

During this time, people tried to introduce potential partners to him, but he refused them all.
