Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1060 - 1164: Mother-in-Law’s Generosity

Ye Wenyue returned, patting her chest, "That Auntie Zhang is really scary."

Xia Dongxue sighed, "She’s just giving up, but doesn’t she think about what would happen if something really happened to Shuqin? It’s really foolish."

Setting aside the Zhang Family’s matters, Yunyi and Huo Jingrui didn’t plan to stay overnight at the Xia Family’s: "Mom, I’ll take Yi’er home first, we’ll visit grandfather and the others at the old house tomorrow."

Xia Dongxue didn’t try to stop them, realizing she was too busy these days to take care of her daughter, and didn’t want to keep them since her daughter was pregnant and she was afraid she might not take care of things properly.

Huo Jingrui also kept his word; upon returning to the Huo Family, he saw his wife being called into the bedroom by his mother for a chat, so he directly made a phone call, recounting Yunyi’s previous matter and today’s events to the other person: "That’s the situation; just within our circle, there have been two such incidents. Who knows how many there are nationwide? I hope the relevant departments will pay attention."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he ended the call.

Seeing that his wife hadn’t come out yet, Huo Jingrui went straight to his parents’ bedroom, gently knocked on the door, and said, "Mom, it’s getting late, Yi’er should rest."

Jiang Jingya rolled her eyes at the door, "I’m having a heartfelt chat with Yiyi, and here you are interrupting, really."

Though her words sounded like complaints, she was smiling as she handed the box on the table to Yunyi: "Alright, it is indeed getting late, quickly freshen up and rest."

Upon leaving, Jiang Jingya whispered, "This is something just for you from Mom, you just have to take care of it yourself."

Yunyi naturally understood what her mother-in-law meant by this.

Huo Jingrui had previously told her that her mother-in-law’s family used to be a wealthy one; even though they donated most of their wealth to the country before and after the founding of the People’s Republic, Jiang Jingya, the sole remaining daughter of the Jiang Family, still had considerable assets in her hands.

However, her mother-in-law was fortunate; she joined the army early on, and then by a twist of fate married her father-in-law, Huo Shanhe, thus avoiding being affected by the movement.

As the door opened, Huo Jingrui saw his wife holding the box in her hands, "Wow, did Mom just reward you with that?"

Jiang Jingya, rarely seeing her son joke, played along, "Of course, with such an outstanding daughter-in-law, I, as the mother-in-law, mustn’t be stingy."

Watching the couple return to their room, Jiang Jingya then closed the door and went back inside.

After Huo Jingrui and Yunyi returned to their room, they shut the door and brought the box into the space.

What Yunyi didn’t expect was that inside was not only a set of violet jewelry but also five pieces of imperial green jade pendants, clearly carved from the same piece of jade material. Most significantly, at the bottom of the box was a property deed for a large three-entry courtyard: "What a generous gesture, Mom really is willing."

"Mom only has you as her precious daughter-in-law, and now you’re giving her the grandchildren she’s been longing for; who else would she give this to?"

Yunyi looked up at Huo Jingrui, "This is all thanks to you."

Huo Jingrui bent down and gently pecked Yunyi’s lips, "Then be nicer to me in the future."

"Am I not nice to you now?"

"It could be even better."

The young couple exchanged words like this, and not long after, they were entangled in a fiery embrace, just barely stopping short as Huo Jingrui applied the brakes in the nick of time: "Yi’er, you’re really a tantalizing little enchantress."

Yunyi was amused by the expression he made with clenched teeth, "It’s not my fault you can’t take a tease."

"You just wait, I’ll deal with you later."

With that, he ran off to the hot spring pool.

Leaving only Yunyi’s silver-bell laughter ringing behind him.
