Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 732: Chapter 732: This Is Retribution

Qin Jianghui noticed that his mother’s face had changed and said, ”Mom, please don’t get angry. Could you forgive her for my sake?”

Seeing that his mother remained silent, he became anxious and said, ”Mom, the wedding is just a few days away. This situation makes it really difficult for me, being caught in the middle.”

Old Master Qin, who had just returned from outside, heard the conversation between the mother and son inside the house. He sighed inwardly and turned to walk out.

As soon as he exited the courtyard, he heard Old Huang next door call out to him, ”Old Qin, what brings you out again?”

Old Master Qin made up a random excuse: ”I’m going to the Jiao Family to discuss something with Old Jiao.”

After speaking, he didn’t linger and headed straight to the Jiao Family. He had mentioned to his eldest son’s family before that even if they break off the engagement with the Chu Family, the girl from the Long Family was not suitable for Jianghui. However, none of them took his advice seriously.

Well, now the wedding date is set, and they’ve realized they can’t handle the Long Family. It’s too late to say anything, unless they choose to offend the Long Family without regard for the consequences.

It’s not just the daughter-in-law who regrets it. He himself has been regretting it as well. He shouldn’t have indulged Jianghui, nor broken off the engagement with the Chu Family. Recently, he heard that the girl from the Chu Family actually apprenticed under Yuan Yuxun.

Others might not know about Yuan Yuxun’s circumstances, but he does.

Although only two direct descendants remain in the Yuan Family, their collateral branches are thriving, and the Yuan Family is a distinguished family with ancestral teachings.

All collateral branches of the Yuan Family are always subject to the direct line, a lesson each Yuan Family member must learn from birth.

The Yuan Family is far more powerful than the Long Family, and with the support of the Yuan Family, Yunyi’s future is promising.

She’s much better than a spoiled socialite, not to mention that Yunyi has excellent medical skills.

It’s likely that Old Master Chu taught Yunyi everything he knew, and now, with Yuan Yuxun, a master of Western medicine, teaching her, he can only imagine Yunyi’s future achievements.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He shouldn’t have been so shortsighted.

Old Master Jiao was standing in the courtyard and saw Old Master Qin approaching. ”Old Qin, where are you headed?”

Old Master Qin was startled by the question and nearly walked past, ”I’m here to see you.”

Old Master Jiao chuckled, ”If I hadn’t called you, you would have walked right past.”

The two continued their conversation and entered the house.

After settling down, Old Master Qin said, ”Old Jiao, about what you said earlier regarding the girl from the Chu Family, are you sure there’s no mistake?”

Old Master Jiao understood, thinking that Old Master Qin was regretting it deeply. He thought to himself: If only you had been mindful back then, it’s too late now.

He poured two cups of tea and handed one to Old Master Qin, ”The Fu Family is discussing whether to have Chenyi go over or invite the girl from the Chu Family back to Beijing. Moreover, I met Yuan Yuxun and his grandson the other day.”

Old Master Qin’s expression was grim, ”It’s ultimately a missed opportunity.”

Old Master Jiao felt a bit exasperated, saying critically, ”Old Qin, don’t blame me for being blunt. What you did back then really made people look down on you.”

Old Master Qin’s face turned even darker upon hearing this, ”It’s karma.”

He said this as he stood up, stepping outside with a deep sigh.

On returning home, he found his eldest son, Qin Hongling, was also there, ”Hongling, come with me to the study. I have something to discuss with you.”

Qin Hongling was in a bad mood after listening to his wife’s complaints for quite a while, ”Dad, what is it?”

Old Master Qin spoke sternly, ”No nonsense.”
