Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Do You Want to Go Back to Beijing With Me?

Wu Bingjie never expected such an outcome: "Forget it, she won’t always be this lucky. You don’t need to come over these days. I’ll arrange that matter when I feel better."

Yunyi didn’t pay any mind to Wu Bingjie and Zhang Wenjuan’s scheming. After all, she’s not someone to be trifled with. When the time comes, she’ll handle whatever comes her way, and she doesn’t want to waste time on those two.

Huo Jingrui came back in the evening. He took the key from Yunyi and went back to the courtyard first.

When Yunyi got home from work, the whole courtyard was filled with a fragrant aroma: "What did you make?"

Huo Jingrui looked at her eagerly walking in and smiled: "I’ve made chicken soup. Dinner will be ready soon."

Yunyi looked up at him: "Where did the chicken come from?"

Huo Jingrui continued with his tasks: "On my way back from following those two, I happened to find it, so I brought it back."

Thinking about that mother and son: "What’s their situation?"

Huo Jingrui wiped his hands on his apron: "I still say you’re my lucky star."

Seeing her curiosity: "They came from the neighboring town, but today when they went back, maybe to save time, they stopped by the Zeng Family in the front Zhao Village, which led us to discover something important.

So Yi’er, we’ll have to let that mother and son go free for a while longer. If everything goes as expected, after the New Year, we should have results soon."

Yunyi was delighted to hear this: "That’s wonderful."

Huo Jingrui looked at the charming girl and suddenly felt reluctant: "If that’s the case, I’ll have to return to Beijing to report. If everything goes smoothly, Yi’er, will you come to Beijing with me?"

Yunyi thought for a moment: "I’ll only feel at ease to leave once there’s a resolution for my master and their family. Besides, if I leave too early, what identity should I take to go with you?"

Huo Jingrui pulled her into his arms: "Of course, as Huo Jingrui’s wife. Looks like I’ll need to hurry them up to settle the Yuan Family’s affairs quickly."

Yunyi didn’t overthink it. She plans to marry him anyway. If it turns out as he said, she can just let him go ahead and return first to arrange things like housing, and once he’s settled, she’ll join him at the right time.

All those people were under surveillance. They weren’t immediately arrested because they wanted to see if there were any bigger fish hiding in the shadows.

Huo Jingrui had dinner with Yunyi before leaving for the venue.

Yunyi locked the courtyard door and went inside. She started with some martial arts practice and then prepared the next batch of pills for Xiao Caihong. She guessed those two would return by the fifth at the latest, so it was best to be prepared.

After making the pills, she took out the Yuan Family’s home remedies and tonic recipes. She integrated them with what she’d learned from her two lives in ancient times and even prepared a tonic dish for Huo Jingrui, as he’s been working hard lately.

After turning the heat down low for a slow simmer, she grabbed some clothes to take a bath.

She thought it would be good to prepare it in advance, so if he comes back for lunch tomorrow, it would be ready for him.

The next morning, when she arrived at the clinic, Doctor Qiu had scheduled the duty roster for the New Year. Yunyi was on duty on the third day of the new year.

At noon, as expected, Huo Jingrui returned, bringing back quite a bit of groceries.

Yunyi eyed the items in his hands: "Where did these come from?"

Huo Jingrui took the key Yunyi gave him: "The New Year is coming, so I asked someone to prepare some supplies. Some of it is welfare from the machinery department. Just as someone came over, I asked them to bring it all back."
