Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Just Short of Naming Names

Just as Duan Zhuangyu was about to speak again, another person walked through the door.

When Huo Weiyu saw that her husband had arrived, she stood up with a smile: ”Aren’t you supposed to do the mid-month inventory today? How come you got here so early?”

Lu Fuchang hung up his coat: ”Of course, Old Four’s matters are more important, so I took leave from my boss.”

Seeing that everyone was present, Huo Shanhe, the family patriarch, began to speak: ”Old Four and his wife are already on their way back. Initially, I was thinking of informing you tonight so you’d come by tomorrow to meet them. But you all were proactive and came today.”

Huo Weiyu laughed: ”I have been looking forward to meeting my fourth sister-in-law again, so naturally, I had to be proactive.”

Huo Shanhe remembered something: ”Tomorrow marks Old Four’s family’s official introduction to everyone, I hope you all will get along well.”

While speaking, he glanced at his third daughter-in-law, which was precisely noticed by Huo Gaodi. He understood that his father was concerned Duan Zhuangyu might cause trouble and upset the fourth sister-in-law.

It seemed today he needed to have a good talk with Zhuangyu to prevent her from causing any trouble.

Given how much Old Four treasures his fourth sister-in-law, if Zhuangyu really says something inappropriate, Old Four will definitely take it out on him.

Everyone naturally understood to whom Huo Shanhe’s words were aimed.

Jiang Jingya nudged Huo Shanhe with her elbow, fearing that these words might create a rift in Huo Gaodi’s heart, as they were nearly pointing at the name.

Duan Zhuangyu wanted to explode but really didn’t dare, as those words from her father-in-law were precisely meant for her. If she dared to speak out, her father-in-law could instantly make Huo Gaodi send her back to the Duan family, and that would be too humiliating.

Watching Auntie Zhang come out of the kitchen, Jiang Jingya understood the food was ready: ”Alright, let’s discuss whatever after the meal.”

After saying this, she called out to the children playing nearby: ”Xiaopan, Xiao Qian, take your younger siblings to wash their hands and get ready to eat.”

The children were all very well-behaved and responded swiftly, dashing to the washroom on the first floor.

At the dinner table, Huo Shanhe made arrangements for everyone: ”Anyway, that’s all there is to it. Tomorrow, when Jingrui and Yunyi return, they can set the date, and you can start getting busy the day after.”

After the meal, the families didn’t linger, as the older children still had homework to do.

As they left, Jiang Jingya finally spoke: ”I wonder how Yunyi performed on her exams?”

Nearby, as Huo Jiayuan poured water, she said: ”No need to worry, those exam questions are no trouble for my Fourth Sister-in-law.”

Jiang Jingya laughed: ”You better not say that outside lest you invite ridicule.”

Huo Jiayuan pursed her lips: ”Do you really have such little faith in your daughter?”

Thinking of something, she smiled mysteriously: ”Mom, I heard that Pan Huixin participated in the college entrance exam.”

Jiang Jingya glared at her: ”Why bring her up for no reason?”

Huo Jiayuan leaned in closer to Jiang Jingya and whispered: ”I heard from Lu Lijiao that Pan Huixin refused the matchmaking arranged by her family...”

Before she could finish, Jiang Jingya said coldly: ”Regardless of whatever thoughts the Pan Family has, your brother is already married, so don’t mention the Pan Family’s matters to him and ruin his mood.”

She had already decided that some matters couldn’t be hidden, and once Yunyi returned, she’d have to talk to Yunyi about the affairs inside the courtyard to prevent her from being deceived.

Ye Family

Ye Bingyu called out as soon as he entered: ”Dongxue, Yiyi will arrive in Beijing tomorrow.”

Xia Dongxue came out of the room: ”Today, the mother-in-law called me and said that later she wants the two of us to sit down and chat. The place has been booked, so let me tell you that.”
