Chapter 609: Chapter 611, Trouble is Coming (5 More)
He lifted the teacup to hide the schadenfreude in his eyes, and Yun Muyou’s lips curled into a slight smile.
But he forgot one thing, though Xu Xinmo was indeed a daughter of the Xu Family, when you look at the other girls of the Xu Family, each one is dignified, beautiful, and appropriate in their behavior.
Who else among them is like Xu Xinmo, full of pettiness, affected, and unsuitable for public display?
Old Madam Yun thought she had raised Xu Xinmo well, but she didn’t realize that Xu Xinmo was actually spoiled by her upbringing.
Wang Yanran glanced at Yun Muyou and then began to smile as well.
"Fourth Miss is back!"
The maid’s announcement suddenly quieted the lively scene.
Mrs. He’s face changed slightly.
With Mrs. Han gone, she had felt much more relaxed, and now that Mrs. Han’s Qiyue Academy had been renamed Qingjue Academy, she had felt a sense of smug triumph for some days. Whatever love Yun Qi had for Mrs. Han, now they were like a pair of separated swallows, estranged, without even a son to show for it.
Thinking of this, Mrs. He also remembered hearing that the young master of the Han Family had come to see Mrs. Han. Word was that the young master of the Han Family was very handsome and tall, but she wondered how old he was.
"What is she coming back for?" Mrs. He asked aloud, annoyance in her voice.
Every time Yun Jinnian came back, there was trouble at home, and she could not wait for the second household to split off and be out of sight and mind.
Even if they did not split, it would be good as long as Mrs. Han and Yun Jinnian were not around.
"Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, perhaps the Fourth Miss is returning for the festival!" Lady Wang said with a laugh.
Yet she was thinking she wanted to meet this Fourth Miss.
On the day she went to the palace, she had made the Noble Consort suffer a setback, and now she wanted to see what sort of person could do that.
Mrs. Han gave a dry chuckle, "That must be it, she’s always been dutiful!"
Mrs. Han’s words held some truth, and Lady Wang did not expose her. A daughter’s marriage was not just a downward move, but also for the sake of the Noble Consort and the Prince, "Then let’s invite the Fourth Miss over, so I can recognize her too. It would be awkward to not know her if we meet outside in the future!"
"Go on," said Mrs. Han.
She knew a bit about Yun Jinnian’s temperament, which wasn’t particularly difficult to get along with.
Yun Jinnian had just returned to Niannian Garden and was speaking with Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Yuan thought Yun Jinnian would not come back and was feeling upset.
Seeing Yun Jinnian return, she was so happy she cried and laughed, pulling Yun Jinnian into a continuous stream of conversation.
Yun Jinnian watched her with a smile, listening attentively.
"Nanny, let’s go climb high tomorrow!"
"Am I going too?" Mrs. Yuan asked joyfully.
She had had so much fun the last time she went out and had even received many gifts. She had made new clothes and was just thinking of wearing them out.
"Mm!"
Yun Jinnian had come back specifically to take her nanny out.
In her previous life, she had been powerless to prevent her nanny’s early demise; in this life, she hoped her nanny would live a long, healthy, and happy life.
Mrs. Yuan beamed, "Then you should get ready quickly and try on the new clothes I made for you. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and I’ve embroidered chrysanthemums on the hem of your dress—tiny ones, very lovely!"
"Okay!"
Yun Jinnian smiled as she watched Mrs. Yuan bustling in and out.
Mrs. Yuan’s affection for Yun Jinnian was without any pretense.
Although the clothes made in the palace were fine, Yun Jinnian hadn’t brought any with her.
"Miss, the Lady invites you over, saying that Lady Wang wishes to see you!" Ru Yue whispered.
Having stayed in the palace for a few days and observed Shaoyao’s behavior, Ru Yue secretly mimicked it, managing to look somewhat presentable.
Yun Jinnian raised her eyebrow slightly.
"Is there something wrong?" she asked, puzzled.
Ru Yue was also unsure. It was Tianmi, someone from Lady’s company, who came personally. Ru Yue was a bit baffled about what Lady had up her sleeve.
