Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 387: Chapter 387 This sounds nice.

Yunyi really couldn’t refuse the warm hospitality of the Wei Family. After tidying up her room, she found an excuse to send Wei Yanhong, who had been lingering around her, away.

After going out for a walk, she retrieved some seasonal fruits from her space before heading to the Wei residence.

What she hadn’t expected was to run into Mrs. Sun just as she turned the corner. In just a few short months, the old lady seemed to have aged more than a decade.

As they passed each other, Mrs. Sun didn’t recognize Yunyi. Just then, Wei Hongyan’s voice came from not far behind, ”Yunyi, I was just about to come and get you.”

Yunyi smiled at her. ”I know the way. There’s no need for you to come get me.”

Mrs. Sun stopped in her tracks when she heard the familiar voice and turned, trying to grab Yunyi.

But Yunyi wouldn’t let her succeed and swiftly stepped aside, leaving her grasping at air.

Her voice trembling with excitement, Mrs. Sun asked, ”Chuyunyi, is that you? Why have you changed your rural assignment location?”

Yunyi turned around and spoke coolly, ”I naturally have to obey the organization’s arrangements. Wherever I’m assigned for my rural placement, that’s where I go. From your tone, Aunt Sun, it sounds like you object to my assigned location?”

Mrs. Sun was startled by Yunyi’s words. She had been hoping to ask Yunyi to use her connections to save her son. Moreover, with their current family situation, they couldn’t afford any more mishaps. She quickly waved her hands and said, ”No, no, don’t misunderstand.”

Noticing people looking their way, she quickly added, ”I was just thinking, if you hadn’t changed locations, that place is your uncle’s hometown. As neighbors, I could have asked our relatives there to look out for you a little.”

The mockery in Yunyi’s eyes was blatant. ”Such pleasant words,” she remarked coolly.

Mrs. Sun, feeling awkward, cleared her throat. ”Yunyi, you don’t know all that’s happened since you went to the countryside. Auntie has so much she wants to tell you.”

Like mother, like son, Yunyi thought. Back in the Northwest, Sun Ruiming had gone out of his way to find her twice, spouting nonsense that nearly made her vomit last night’s dinner. She had originally planned to send him to the labor farm, hoping to settle the score between him and this body’s original owner once and for all. But she never expected to end up in the Northwest herself and, by sheer coincidence, run into that scumbag there.

If he hadn’t sought her out, she would have treated him as a stranger. But he had the audacity to show up, and when he saw there was no hope for him, he even brought Su Aiyu along to stir up trouble. She definitely didn’t want to see those disgusting people ever again. Since they delivered themselves to her doorstep, she wouldn’t hold back.

So, in a hidden spot, she’d directly tampered with several of their acupoints. She was confident it wouldn’t be long before they’d ’enjoy’ her ’generous gift.’ To ensure they wouldn’t pester her again, she’d sprinkled some medicinal powder on them before driving them off. Until she left the Northwest, they wouldn’t be able to emerge and trouble anyone.

As Mrs. Sun spoke, she tried to reach out and stop Yunyi, but Yunyi stepped back to avoid her. ”We don’t have that much to discuss. I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse me.”

With that, she walked around Mrs. Sun and headed towards Wei Hongyan, who was approaching to greet her.

Unwilling to give up, Mrs. Sun turned and hurried after her. ”Yunyi, for the sake of you and my Rui—”

She had meant to say Ruiming, but then she recalled that their relationship had never been public; outwardly, Yunyi was only known to be close to her young daughter, Xiaoyan. So, Mrs. Sun quickly corrected herself, ”For the sake of your friendship with my Xiaoyan, could you possibly pull some strings? Just a little help?”

Her plea was humble, but what did that have to do with her? The original owner of this body had already paid for her foolishness with her life. It was already merciful of her not to have wiped out the entire Sun Family.
