Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Waiting Quietly for the Results

Yunyi turned her head to look at Duan Zhuangyu and said with a faint smile, "Third Sister-in-law, you’re overthinking. The things I make always work well. The effect I’m talking about isn’t what you’re imagining."

Huo Jiayuan immediately stepped up, "Yes, yes, yes, Fourth Sister-in-law makes really good stuff. Just look at my face and you’ll know, all thanks to Fourth Sister-in-law’s efforts."

Huo Gaodi gave Duan Zhuangyu a subtle nudge with his elbow, reminding her not to stir up trouble.

Seeing she didn’t continue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly drained as he constantly had to worry about trouble-making Duan Zhuangyu.

Gao Ruyi said with a smile, "Jiayuan’s skin has been adjusted very well. It’s just like a peeled egg now."

As she spoke, she touched her own face, "Fourth Sister-in-law, the skincare cream Auntie Jiang brought back for us is really good. Thank you so much."

Yunyi smiled and said, "As long as it works well for you."

Then she took out several sticks of homemade lip balm from her bag and handed them to her three sisters-in-law and her two sisters-in-law, also giving one to Jiang Jingya, "This is lip balm, particularly suitable for winter."

Huo Jiayuan turned it over and examined it, "Fourth Sister-in-law, at first glance, I thought it was a lipstick."

Yunyi explained with a smile, "You use it like lipstick, but it’s made of oil and wax, mainly to moisturize the lips and relieve dryness and peeling."

Huo Jiayuan listened and said, "If that’s the case, it’s a great help. Just look at my lips."

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and jumped onto Yunyi, "Fourth Sister-in-law, you’re really amazing. I just casually mentioned it before, and I didn’t expect..."

She paused and didn’t continue, "Fourth Sister-in-law, I’ll be your biggest fan from now on. Just point and I’ll go wherever you say."

The people in the room weren’t foolish. Hearing Huo Jiayuan’s words, everyone understood.

Huo Shanhe and Jiang Jingya watched their nieces and sisters get along well, feeling very content.

Sitting below them, Huo Weiyu naturally hoped the Fourth Sister-in-law would get along well with the family, especially since her brother is in the military, and a stable home front is crucial. It seems her brother is quite lucky.

Gao Ruyi watched the interaction between Fourth Sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law with a smile. She wasn’t jealous but genuinely happy, at least relieved that she wouldn’t have to worry about not getting along with Fourth Sister-in-law.

However, Gui Hongmei, the eldest sister-in-law, seeing this, thought to herself: Looks like I need to build a good relationship with the Fourth Sister-in-law.

Only Duan Zhuangyu felt uncomfortable, sensing a threat to her status in the Huo Family.

Among the wives, she had the highest education and the best job, but the arrival of the Fourth Sister-in-law brought uncertainties.

After all, she heard from her husband that the Fourth Sister-in-law took the college entrance exam this year. If she actually gets accepted, wouldn’t she be outshone?

Thinking about this, she directly asked, "Fourth Sister-in-law, I heard from your Third Brother that you took the college entrance exam this year. How did you do?"

Seeing Huo Jiayuan about to speak, Yunyi quickly pulled her back, "Third Sister-in-law, the scores aren’t out yet, so anything said now doesn’t really count. Let’s just calmly wait for the results."

Jiang Jingya gave her daughter a look to stop her from speaking.

Huo Jiayuan quickly understood, nodding lightly to show she got the message.

Indeed, without the scores, anything said would be meaningless. It’s better to wait for the results and let the facts speak for themselves.
