Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Shameless as Hell

Just after finishing making the meal, Yunyi also returned.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Yunyi smiled lightly as she walked into the kitchen: ”What delicious dish did you make?”

Huo Jingrui was about to warm up the dishes on the stove; seeing her return, he stopped his actions: ”You came back just in time, I was about to warm up the food.”

Upon hearing this, Yunyi became alert: ”What happened?”

Huo Jingrui leaned close to Yunyi and spoke in a voice only they could hear: ”On the way back from the woods, I intended to go into the mountains to hunt some game to nourish you, but I accidentally stumbled upon Zhong Liyuan meeting someone in the woods.”

He recounted the incident to Yunyi: ”Wenyu should be back soon too; I’m planning to return to the county overnight. When we found Zhong Liyuan, the personnel arranged to surveil her were not seen.

I need to go back to the county to figure things out, and I suspect they’re desperate enough to target Lun Huaijing.”

What Yunyi could think of, Huo Jingrui could naturally think of as well. Seeing Yunyi’s expression of hesitation,

Huo Jingrui continued: ”You want to ask why Zhong Liyuan would target Lun Huaijing, right?”

Yunyi nodded lightly; she didn’t need Huo Jingrui to explain, she had already guessed. It is simply because Lun Huaijing’s identity can bring them the benefits they want.

Huo Jingrui raised a hand to touch the top of Yunyi’s head: ”It’s just as you guessed, but I can’t tell you his identity right now.”

Now it was certain that Lun Huaijing’s identity might have some hidden attributes.

Knowing Huo Jingrui would be busy at night, ”Since Qiao Wenyu hasn’t returned yet, you should eat something to fill your stomach quickly.”

Saying this, without caring about Huo Jingrui’s hand stretched out to stop him, she directly brought out all the dishes: ”Here with me, you do as I say. No matter how busy, this won’t take long.”

Huo Jingrui thought so too, and helped bring the dishes out, but ultimately his mind was preoccupied, and he ate this meal quickly.

Just as Yunyi anticipated, as soon as he set down his chopsticks, Qiao Wenyu entered the yard: ”Big Brother Huo, are you here?”

Huo Jingrui stood up as soon as Qiao Wenyu entered the gate: ”Come in quickly.”

Qiao Wenyu, from the big courtyard, was cautious. He didn’t rashly speak about the matter upon entering but instead greeted Yunyi while discreetly exchanging eye contact with Huo Jingrui.

Receiving Huo Jingrui’s signal, he then spoke: ”Zhong Liyuan didn’t directly return to Songling Village, but went to South Mountain in Songling Village. What I didn’t expect was...”

Suddenly, what he was about to say seemed unsuitable for Yunyi to hear, and he hesitantly said: ”Um, Yunyi, do you have hot water? I ran so far and I’m a bit thirsty.”

How could Yunyi not see that he was intentionally sending her away: ”Fine, I’ll go inside to get you a bowl.”

With that, she took a bowl from the cupboard and left the kitchen.

Seeing Yunyi enter the bedroom, Qiao Wenyu said: ”Zhong Liyuan met a man; upon meeting, she immediately asked if the items were placed properly. The man didn’t speak, pulling her into his arms and started kissing her passionately for quite a while before stopping. Truly shameless, I’m glad Zheng Xuewen isn’t involved with her, otherwise wouldn’t he be nauseated?”

Huo Jingrui glanced at the main room door: ”That’s enough, talk about the important matter.”

Qiao Wenyu realized and quickly looked toward the door before continuing: ”I only saw the man’s side profile; based on his accent, he should be from Beijing too. It was too dark, I couldn’t see his features clearly.”
