Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Calculations

Thinking of Chuyunyi, Mrs. Sun was furious: "Who else could it be if not Chuyunyi, that cheap wretch?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Startled, Sun Xiaoyan ran to the door to peek outside. Thankfully, no one was there. She then spoke in a low voice, "Mom, keep it down. Aren’t you afraid of people in the courtyard overhearing? What if Yunyi finds out and it ruins Third Brother’s plans?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun realized that she had been blinded by anger and lowered her voice: "I feel that little wench Chuyunyi is up to something."

Sun Xiaoyan sat down beside her mother. "What do you mean?"

Her mother glanced towards the door. "The other day, those people helped, so we weren’t allowed to get involved with her grandfather’s funeral arrangements. That was somewhat understandable. But today, she announced in front of so many neighbors that she needed to rest and didn’t even let me through the front door. I just feel something isn’t right."

Sun Xiaoyan furrowed her brow, thinking for a moment. "Maybe she was just in a bad mood and wanted to be alone, undisturbed."

Mrs. Sun slapped her pant leg. "Does she really think it’s like before, when she had someone backing her? How dare she treat me this way! She’ll suffer for it later."

Sun Xiaoyan, fearing her mother would lose her temper and cause more trouble, quickly advised, "Mom, please calm down. Don’t forget, my job isn’t officially confirmed yet. In everyone else’s eyes, I’m just a substitute."

Mrs. Sun sighed. "I know. Speaking of which, where’s your Third Brother?"

Sun Xiaoyan, relieved that her mother had listened, said, "I don’t know. He’s off shift today, so he’s probably out with those fair-weather friends of his."

But at this, Mrs. Sun was not pleased. "That darn kid, your Third Brother! What has he been up to lately? All he does is run around outside. He doesn’t even use this opportunity to secure her quickly."

Previously, Old Master Chu didn’t think highly of Sun Ruiming and was strongly against his granddaughter being with him. That’s why the Sun Family had devised an underhanded scheme, planning to take an unorthodox approach. But fortunes can change overnight. Unexpectedly, Old Master Chu had an accident and passed away, just like that.

Due to Old Master Chu’s prestige in the area, Sun Ruiming and Chuyunyi’s interactions had mostly been kept secret, so not many people knew about them. Ever since Old Master Chu passed away, however, Chuyunyi’s attitude towards the Sun Family had changed, and Mrs. Sun had been feeling uneasy. She feared complications at this critical moment.

She plotted internally: once her third son, Sun Ruiming, returned, he had to secure Chuyunyi quickly. Once Chuyunyi became a Sun Family member, her possessions would naturally belong to the Sun Family.
