Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Zhang Baoxiang’s Resentment

Shi Jingfang wasn’t accustomed to Zhang Baoxiang’s ways, even though this was happening in the Main Consort’s house and the elder sister-in-law should have been in charge.

But she was afraid the elder sister-in-law would feel awkward about sharing with the Xia Family, so she spoke first, not expecting the third brother to be so oblivious to the situation and still cause trouble at this moment.

Shi Jingfang quickly packed a lot of bamboo shoots into the basket and then added some oranges from inside: ”It’s nothing precious, just something to share.”

The Xia Family thanked them repeatedly before preparing to leave.

Xia Yishan whispered to Yunyi for quite a while before she ran to catch up with the Xia Family.

Xia Dongxue watched the Xia Family’s silhouettes disappear around the corner before retracting her gaze, then looked at Yunyi with a smile: ”What did Yishan tell you?”

Yunyi smiled softly: ”That’s a secret between us; I promised her I wouldn’t say anything, so please don’t ask, Mom.”

Xia Dongxue laughed heartily: ”Alright, alright, I won’t ask then.”

Seeing the cousin’s cordial relationship, as the mother, she couldn’t be happier.

Saying this, she glanced towards Huo Jingrui standing behind, thinking of something: ”Jingrui, as you can see, my Yiyi not only has a biological brother, cousin, biological younger brother, cousin, but also older and younger cousins. In the future, you better treat my Yiyi well, otherwise, her brothers might come knocking.”

Huo Jingrui replied confidently: ”Mom, rest assured, I cherish Yi’er so much, how could I possibly bully her.”

Although Xia Dongxue could see that her son-in-law was truly fond of her daughter, she still needed to say some stern words, so he wouldn’t feel her daughter was desperate to marry him.

Upon hearing Huo Jingrui’s words, her gaze shifted to Ye Bingyu standing nearby.

With just one look, it was apparent that Ye Bingyu was satisfied with the son-in-law’s response, the lifted corners of his mouth clearly revealed his good mood.

Just as the three headed indoors, Shi Jingya’s voice came: ”Third sister-in-law, it’s one share per family. If you take so much home, you won’t finish it all at once.”

But Zhang Baoxiang surprised everyone with her words: ”These are rare delicacies; I wanted to ask someone to bring some back to my family, let my dad have a taste.”

Shi Jingfang was almost holding her forehead upon hearing this; the reason sounded legitimate, but firstly, it wasn’t your own item, secondly, you’re not at your own home, so why are you acting entitled?

It was Ye Bingkun, standing in the yard, who couldn’t stand listening any longer. He strode over to Zhang Baoxiang’s side: ”There’s only this much stuff, besides us three households, there’s also our sister’s family. Can’t you use your head?”

Saying this, he returned over half of the contents to the basket before handing the bag to Zhang Baoxiang.

He had considered leaving the entire bag behind, but knowing Zhang Baoxiang’s character, if he really did that, she’d probably scream and attract the neighbors, making the situation even uglier.

Zhang Baoxiang was doing it deliberately anyway; ever since the kids’ identities were exposed and everyone returned to their respective homes, Qiu Baojuan had developed hatred towards the Main Consort’s House, no, she should say even the Second Wife’s House she hated, as it was indeed Shi Jingfang who discovered the matter.

She knew that her own sister-in-law’s actions back then weren’t proper, but she couldn’t understand why, since they had raised them for over a decade, the girls were bound to get married someday, why couldn’t they just raise them for another year or two, instead of blowing things up?

After all these years, couldn’t they just let the matter slide, considering they were relatives?

After all, the Main Consort’s own daughter was doing fine, why insist on pursuing the current residents, sending her sister-in-law to jail, making her own family the talk of the town over tea, and thus turning herself into a sinner.
