Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Is There More to the Story?

Yuan Yuxun finally realized and raised his hand to brush off Yunyi’s hand: ”Your fiancé?”

Hearing the question, Yunyi felt a surge of emotion. The mentor didn’t bother to ask what the good news was, but instead showed concern about her having a fiancé: ”Yes, he used to be a soldier, but now for my sake, he transferred to work at the county machinery factory.”

As for Huo Jingrui’s true identity, she couldn’t reveal it yet. She’d explain it to him in the future and believed that her mentor would understand.

After hearing this, Yuan Yuxun asked, ”Is he from Beijing?”

Yunyi nodded.

Yuan Yuxun thought for a moment. A man from Beijing transferring to this place for the sake of his fiancée indicated he was likely a decent young man, so he didn’t inquire further: ”Unfortunately, with my current identity, I’m not in a position to be seen....”

Yunyi hurriedly interrupted: ”Mentor, what are you saying? He accompanied me back to Beijing some time ago, and upon returning, there were so many things to handle. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I’ll bring him over to pay respects and celebrate the New Year with you.”

Yuan Yuxun quickly shook his head to refuse: ”No, no, no, you mustn’t put him in a difficult position.”

Yunyi didn’t argue, thinking she would bring him over on the first day of the Lunar New Year anyway.

To divert her mentor’s attention: ”Mentor, his name is Huo Jingrui, and he has some connections in Beijing. Let’s just wait quietly for the good news.”

Yuan Yuxun was a bit incredulous: ”Are you talking about returning to Beijing?”

Yunyi nodded: ”Yes, we’ve inquired, and now a few people have already returned to the city and resumed work. With Huo Jingrui’s maneuvering, it should also work out.”

Yuan Yuxun furrowed his brow: ”You’re aware of the Yuan Family’s situation. Those people won’t give up easily. If they unite to obstruct, will it implicate him?”

Yunyi had also considered this: ”Mentor, you don’t have to worry about this. Jingrui had someone investigate the Qiao Family in Hai City, which is Qiao Yuxiang’s paternal family, and found that they are very close to the Cao Family in Beijing.”

As soon as she said this, Yuan Yuxun was stunned: ”The Cao Family, Cao Yuli?”

So that’s it. I always wondered why the Yuan Family, which had practiced medicine for generations and had never committed any heinous acts, encountered such calamity without rhyme or reason. It turns out they befriended villains.”

There were some things Yunyi didn’t know how to convey to her mentor.

While hesitating on what to say, Yuan Yuxun asked, ”Is there more to the story?”

Due to the selfishness and malice of the Cao Family, the Yuan Family had been destroyed, its members devastated.

If not for the good deeds accumulated by the Yuans, which led to hidden assistance saving Yuan Zining and sending her here, the Yuan Family would have been completely obliterated. There was no way to hide this: ”The secret investigation revealed that the youngest son of the Cao Family, Cao Yizhong, had always liked Zining’s mother, so he conspired against the Yuan Family.”

Thinking of his son and daughter-in-law, Yuan Yuxun momentarily clutched his chest, struggling to breathe.

Yunyi quickly took out the emergency pill she had made earlier and fed it into his mouth: ”Mentor, calm down, you still have Zining to take care of.”

Seeing him take the pill: ”The Cao Family will face retribution, rest assured. I will help avenge Shige and Shisao.”

Having acknowledged Yuan Yuxun as a mentor, the affairs of the Yuan Family were her own. Moreover, the evidence showed that the Cao Family were not good people, having committed numerous wrongdoings over the years, ruining many families.

Given this, she would have no hesitation in dealing with them and would feel no guilt.

Little Yuan Zining listened intently from the side.

Initially, she didn’t want him to hear, but the mentor stopped her from sending the little one away.

Realizing the future of the Yuan Family depends on Yuan Zining, she understood her mentor’s well-intentioned reasoning.
