The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

Chapter 352 : Zisu’s MarriageTranslated byきつねonJune 19, 2022

The sixth day of the tenth lunar month was the day of Zisu’s wedding. Guo Xun bought a house outside, which was not big. It had just one entry, but it could still be considered that he had a property.

Even if Zisu was Yuxi’s personal maid and their relationship was not ordinary, in the end, she was just a maid. However, the residence was still a little lively. As for Guo Xun’s side, he invited many friends and colleagues. When they went to pick up the bride, the scene was quite festive.

When Guo Xun uncovered the bride’s head covering and looked at the radiant Zisu, everyone inside the room whistled. One of them even laughed loudly and said, “Great Leader Guo, you’re fortunate!” Mama Qu’s craftsmanship left everyone speechless. The originally delicate and pretty Zisu also turned into beauty in her hands.

On this day, it was rare that Yun Qing did not go to the military camp but stayed at the residence. After Zisu was married, he saw that Yuxi was a bit depressed and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yuxi touched her stomach and said, “I hope this child will be a son.” Although she liked both a son and a daughter when she thought that if the child was going to be a daughter, she would have to marry her to someone else’s family. Not to mention that she might have to face that scene; just thinking about it, she still couldn’t let her go.

Yun Qing felt that Yuxi’s thoughts these days could always make people not know whether to laugh or cry. “Whether the child will be a son or a daughter, it is determined by Heaven, and you cannot force it.”

Hearing his words, Yuxi was flabbergasted, and she asked, “Husband, do you like son or daughter?” Today, she finally found a reason to question his preference.

Yun Qing answered without even thinking. “Daughter.” He remembered back then that he always wanted a sister, but unfortunately, it never came true. Since he didn’t have a sister, having a daughter was also very good. Thinking of how small, soft, and fragrant his daughter would be made his heart really happy.

Yuxi couldn’t help chuckling when she heard his answer. “Everyone has been wishing this child to be a son, but only you like the child to be a daughter.” However, after listening to his words, she also felt at ease.

Yun Qing responded, “I want a son too, but having a daughter is just as good. It is best if we have three sons and three daughters in the future. Then it will be complete.” Yuxi was in good health, so it wouldn’t be difficult for her to give birth to six children.

When Yuxi heard that Yun Qing wanted to have seven to eight children, she was embarrassed. “Three sons and three daughters? Whoever can calculate this?” She herself liked children, and it wasn’t like she couldn’t afford to have a few more. The only thing was that they didn’t have the final say in this matter regarding three sons and three daughters.

Yun Qing laughed. “I was just expressing my opinion that I like both sons and daughters. But if we have a daughter, it will be better if she looks like you. Round and good-looking.” He just liked white chubby little girls with round, smiling faces. It would be nice if their daughter had a round face like Yuxi. [T/C]

These words from him were more pleasant to hear than any terms of endearment. At least when Yuxi listened to them, it was the same as if she was drinking a drink as sweet as honey. The smile on her face didn’t dissipate even until bedtime.

After a day of rest, when Yuxi woke up the following day, she did not see Yun Qing. The first time this happened, she was not accustomed to it, but now, she was already used to it.

Not long after breakfast, Er Nainai Zhao came to the residence. Looking at Yuxi, Er Nainai Zhao asked, “Meimei, what did you think about the proposal I told you about last time?”

Yuxi smiled, shook her head and said, “I’m really sorry, Jiejie. I originally thought of earning more money to supplement the family. But, my husband said that business could be done anytime, and now I should raise my child with peace of mind.” Because of this, Yuxi also felt she had found a treasure. Yun Qing was very lenient. He would support her in whatever she wanted to do as long as it was not out of line. This time, he even agreed to let her be involved in the medicinal herb business, which surprised and moved her. One shouldn’t think this kind of thing was easy for men to do. Even in the capital, only a very few men could do this. [+]

...

Hearing this, Er Nainai Zhao was a little disappointed, but at the same time, she was also a little envious. “General Yun is really good to Meimei.” Now, who in Yu City did not know that this iron-blooded Yun Qing loved his wife. He would be at home with his wife if he had nothing to do. Even when he was busy, he would go back in the middle of the night to sleep at home. Because of these performances by Yun Qing, how many people’s eyes fell down and how many women had regretted not marrying him.

In the beginning, Yun Qing’s fierce reputation, coupled with his cold and icy look, made people afraid of staring at him. Who would have thought he was such a family man who loved his wife?

Yuxi wasn’t modest as she said, “My husband is very good to me, and it is my good fortune to be married to him.” This time she was a little glad. If she had married Chen Ran, they would have certainly treated each other with respect due to a guest for the rest of their life. It wouldn’t have been like now, where she had a sweet life every day. All the things missing in her previous life seemed to have been made up at once.

Er Nainai Zhao smiled a little and asked with some hesitation. “Meimei, do you really not consider the medicinal herbs business? Meimei will only have a share in it and doesn’t even need to work.” It was the first time she had seen money sent freely to someone’s gate.

Yuxi shook her head and replied, “No. The most important thing for me right now is to take care of my unborn child. Other things can be discussed later.”

Er Nainai Zhao could only give up when she saw Yuxi’s reaction but brought up another matter. “Are you going to open a restaurant in the residence that you’ve just bought?”

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, “The two cooks we hired arrived a few days ago. So, we’re ready to open on the 12th! But I will let my steward manage the restaurant and won’t concern myself over it.”

Er Nainai Zhao was clear about this matter. From the purchase of the residence, the final refurbishment and the layout, all had been done by the Yun Residence’s steward, Han Ji, and Yuxi had never stepped in. So when Yuxi told her that, Er Nainai Zhao did not think Yuxi would be perfunctory. However, she still could not help but ask, “Meimei, how can you be at ease by leaving something as big as a restaurant to a servant?” The opening of a restaurant was not a matter of three melons and two dates. It required a large amount of silver. If you didn’t handle it yourself, what if you lost money? Yuxi’s heart was really too lenient.

Yuxi smiled as she explained, “Han Ji’s father is a shopkeeper for our family shop. He had been doing errands with his father since he was six years old and was unconsciously influenced by what he constantly heard or saw. He is much better in business than I am.” For Han Ji to get to Yu City in one piece had a great deal to do with the instruction she had left for Chief Huang. She would suffer a huge loss if something happened to such a talented person.

After a pause, Yuxi continued, “Han Ji is the son of the family’s servant, so he’s very loyal.” Putting aside the loyalty point. Han Ji’s parents, wife and children were still in residence. If he dared to do anything, not only would he die an ugly death, but he would implicate his whole family. Without a doubt, if the master was incompetent, even capable servants might have crooked hearts. But she and her Dage were not. There was no way Han Ji would do such a stupid thing.

Er Nainai Zhao was genuinely envious. She heard that the children of the family’s servants were particularly loyal. However, it was a pity that her family started late. Her family only made a fortune from his father’s generation. “However, I heard that the Steward Han is a competent person.” He hadn’t been in Yu City that long but had already figured out some of the rules here. Of course, it was also because he had Yun Qing as a backer. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy.

After talking for a while, Er Nainai Zhao bid her farewell and returned. When she arrived at Zhao’s residence, she told Madam Zhao Yuxi’s decision.

Madam Zhao nodded and said, “Fortunately, she is not a shallow one.” When Yuxi opened a restaurant and bought farmland after marrying into the Yun Residence made them worry that Yuxi was a money-loving person. People with shortcomings were easy to be schemed against, not to mention the big flaw of loving money. But Yuxi’s performance was not quite like a person with an immense love for money. To explore Yuxi’s bottom line, Madam Zhao used the method of asking Yuxi to participate in the herbal business to test her.

Er Nainai Zhao did not understand the meaning of this. “Mother-in-law, what does this mean?” After knowing that it was a test for Yuxi, Er Nainai Zhao was a bit confused and asked after a while. “If Han Meimei really agrees, what then?”

Madam Zhao explained, “The 20% of the shares should have been given to Yun Qing.” Making an alliance was more than just saying about it. Since Han Yuxi did not want this share, the dividend would be given directly to Yun Qing when the time came.

Er Nainai Zhao was not in a good mood. She had gone to so much trouble but only got such a result. It really made her uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, Madam Zhao reminded her. “Second Older Daughter-in-law, in the future, you must be more clever when dealing with Han Shi. That Han Shi is not a simple one.” The reason she disagreed with marrying her daughter to Yun Qing was that he had too many enemies, and it was not safe for her to marry him; the second reason was that Yun Qing’s hostile aura was too heavy for ordinary people to bear. She remembered when her daughter first saw him, she was so scared that her face paled. After Yun Qing left, her daughter hugged her and kept crying while begging her not to let her marry Yun Qing. It was just that the final decision wasn’t up to her, and that night her daughter was so scared she had nightmares. Not only was Han Shi not frightened by Yun Qing’s aggressive aura, but she even fell in love with Yun Qing, turning him into a model husband who loved his family and wife.

The others said it was Han Shi’s good luck, but she snickered when she heard it. Good luck? Where did this Han Shi have such luck? It was evident that Han Shi had an outstanding gut and remarkable methods.

Er Nainai Zhao was not happy to hear this. What did she mean by her having to be more clever? As if she was stupid. In her heart, she was dissatisfied, but she still nodded her head and answered, “I know, Mother.”

Madam Zhao shook her head and did not say anything else to Er Nainai Zhao. Her youngest daughter-in-law had her own temperament, and no matter how many times she reminded her of it, it would not change. Madam Zhao initially instructed her eldest daughter-in-law to have more contact with Yuxi. Unfortunately, her eldest daughter-in-law and Han Shi’s temperament did not quite match, and they could not talk with each other. The good thing was that her youngest daughter-in-law and Han Shi got along really well. Her youngest daughter-in-law was good at everything, but her nature was a little too straightforward, and she couldn’t hide anything. However, on second thought, perhaps Han Shi was also willing to associate with her for this reason. The people who were deep in their minds often liked to make friends with straightforward and honest people.

After Er Nainai Zhao left, Madam Zhao asked her trusted old woman servant. “What do you think would happen if Song Guifei knew that Yun Qing and Han Shi were in love?” When Song Guifei married Han Yuxi to Yun Qing, she must have thought the noble girl Han Yuxi could not adapt to the northwest environment and would be very afraid of the murderous Yun Qing. As a result, these two people not only had a good relationship with each other, but Yuxi also became pregnant quite fast.

Madam Zhao’s trusted old woman servant replied, “If Song Guifei knows, it is estimated that she would come up with another wicked trick.” Although Song Guifei was not the current Empress, she was still the Crown Prince’s birth mother. This identity predestined her to do whatever she wanted without worrying about what others thought.
