Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 818: Chapter 818: Don’t Go Too Far

Yunyi knew her mother-in-law spoke sincerely, so she explained, ”Mom, Jingrui has business to take care of in Beijing, and besides, I’ve already registered for the college entrance exam here, so I don’t feel like moving again.”

At this moment, Huo Jiayuan leaned over, ”Fourth sister-in-law, I miss you so much, and without you, I hardly have any motivation to read.”

Yunyi responded to her sister-in-law’s words, ”Think about our agreement, think about your Weiming Lake, think about your aspirations.”

Huo Jiayuan felt a surge of emotion upon hearing this, recalling the words Fourth Sister-in-law had said before, her energy revived, ”Fourth sister-in-law, you’re right, fight for the dream.”

Huo Jingrui looked gloomy, though he was the one who dialed the phone, his mom and sister monopolized the receiver.

When they were done talking, they completely forgot about him and directly hung up the phone, claiming it saved on call costs.

Isn’t that infuriating?

Finally, Jiang Jingya added a word, ”What are you dawdling for? Quickly handle your business so you can bring my daughter-in-law back sooner.”

Huo Jingrui scratched his head, ”Got it.”

On the other side of the courtyard, Pan Huixin, upon learning that Huo Jingrui returned and didn’t bring back that woman he married, couldn’t help but start scheming again.

After Fang Minjuan was dealt with by Yunyi’s methods, she rarely appeared in front of people in the courtyard.

After all, due to that sudden illness, gossips spread in the courtyard, some news spread quickly, nearly causing her husband Pan Hongkun to reject her.

Fortunately, she was able to endure, refraining from scratching her body was difficult, so her family tied her up to help her withstand the agonizing seven days.

Except for initially failing to resist scratching and causing some abrasions, she didn’t leave any noticeable scars.

Besides, she used all her tactics to appease Pan Hongkun.

However, what happened back then left Pan Hongkun with a shadow, and when they were intimate, he either tossed a towel over her face or turned her around, which wasn’t too damaging for her but was deeply humiliating.

Noticing her daughter distracted during dinner, and recalling the rumors heard in the courtyard, she said, ”Huixin, come with Mom, I need to talk to you.”

Some things were better said away from the Pan Family’s prying eyes, so she had to call her daughter into her room.

Pan Huixin was lost in thought and didn’t hear Fang Minjuan’s words at all.

The Pan Family members in the living room all turned to look, and Shui Linghua, the eldest granddaughter-in-law who had never gotten along with Pan Huixin, spoke mockingly, ”What’s this beautiful thought our cousin has, ignoring even Aunt’s words?”

Her words prompted others to chime in, adding fuel to the gossip.

The problem with the Pan Family was, all the sons lived in the courtyard with the patriarch, the more people, the more disputes, and the more conflicts arose as multiple families stirred the pot.

Ever since Fang Minjuan’s incident, she had restrained herself a lot, afraid those people couldn’t bear to see her doing well, whispering baseless things in her husband’s ear, so this time she didn’t want to confront them.

She hurriedly walked over and patted her daughter who was spacing out, ”Come in, I need to talk to you.”

Pan Huixin was startled, ”Mom, why are you smacking me? Don’t you know you can scare someone to death?”

The living room erupted in laughter.

Shui Linghua, the eldest granddaughter-in-law, wouldn’t miss the chance, ”Didn’t I say so?”

Pan Huixin immediately sensed the awkwardness and realized she’d missed something due to her distraction, ”Eldest sister-in-law, don’t take it too far.”
