Chapter 482: Chen Rui Retorts
Chen Rui's face immediately fell: "Boss, you're too cruel. I've just come back to life, and you want me to die?"
"Don't you like the Yellow Springs Road?" Yunyi rolled her eyes at her. "Just once, you can stay there forever. I can pull some strings for you so you don't have to reincarnate and can just float around forever."
"I was just saying that, hehe, boss, I was wrong." Chen Rui grabbed Yun Yi's arm and started shaking it.
Ning Wushuang couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yun Yi's frustrated yet helpless expression.
"Greetings, Your Highness." At this moment, a little girl walked over and bowed.
"No need for formalities," Ning Wushuang said, her smile fading.
"Sister Rui'er, Sister Yunyi." After standing up, Chen Yuejiao greeted Chen Rui and Yunyi.
“Miss Chen.” Yun Yi nodded calmly.
"Sister Rui'er, really! It's so hot, why don't you hurry up and bring the princess into the flower hall? It's not good if she gets heatstroke." Chen Yuejiao said with a smile, trying to sow discord between Chen Rui and Chen Rui.
Chen Rui rolled her eyes, but quickly smiled and said, "Sister Yuejiao, didn't our eldest uncle tell you to entertain the concubine's daughters in the backyard? Why did you come to the front?"
Chen Yuejiao's smile froze.
"You know there's a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. The Chen family is a large family, and they're not short of people. How could they let an illegitimate daughter entertain the legitimate daughters? If that were the case, none of us would want to come. I'm sorry, I'm doomed. You're not an illegitimate daughter, you're an outsider, so it's even more unacceptable for you. Go back quickly. I won't tell my eldest uncle."
"Chen Rui, you..." Chen Yue's delicate composure crumbled. Her biggest worry was her status, but this annoying Chen Rui had actually said it so bluntly. How could she possibly maintain her standing in the capital after this?
"Everyone says that illegitimate daughters are not presentable, but illegitimate daughters are even less presentable." Another person walked over, it was Zhuang Xiuxiu who had just woken up a few days ago. "I'm a little late, and I just witnessed such a wonderful scene. Has the Chen family fallen on hard times?"
Chen Yuejiao couldn't handle Chen Rui, and now with four people, it was even more impossible. In the end, she could only stomp her foot and run away crying.
"Waaah." Chen Rui watched Chen Yuejiao's back and imitated her movements perfectly.
The group couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Although Chen Yuejiao could no longer hear what the people were saying after running far away, she could still hear their laughter, which made her even angrier.
"You're finally better." Yunyi looked at Zhuang Xiuxiu mischievously. "It seems someone deserves a lot of credit."
"If I lie down any longer, I might just end up on my deathbed." Zhuang Xiuxiu didn't hold back with these people, because she trusted Fang Yunyi and Ning Wushuang's character. As for Chen Rui... if she could be accepted by these two, then she must be a good person, especially considering how she treated Chen Yuejiao earlier.
"Miss Zhuang." Chen Rui looked at Zhuang Xiuxiu with shining eyes. "I have long admired your name. My apologies for not being more respectful." She then clasped her hands in a fist salute.
Zhuang Xiuxiu was taken aback, then clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute: "No problem." She found the girl's personality even more endearing. "But do you know me?"
“My boss and you are sworn enemies, hehe, of course I know that.” Chen Rui pointed at Yun Yi.
"Your boss?"
"Yes, this is my boss, she'll protect me from now on."
"Fang Yunyi, you..."
"Yunyi, please call me Yunyi from now on," Yunyi interrupted the other person.
"Okay, Yunyi, you really can summon spirits?" Zhuang Xiuxiu looked Yunyi up and down.
"You dare try dying?"
Just as Zhuang Xiuxiu was about to say something, the steward came over and called her. Since everyone was there, it was time to go in. So the four of them went to Yanshou Hall together. After all, it was a birthday banquet, and they had to wish Chen Huoshi a happy birthday first.
Yanshou Hall was bustling with activity. After all, she was the wife of the Minister of Revenue and the maternal grandmother of the Third Prince, so almost everyone who received an invitation came.
Chen Huoshi sat in the main seat, and next to her was Zhou Ni, the old county magistrate of De'an.
When Chen Rui led Yun Yi and the others into the room, the previously cheerful hall instantly fell silent. However, Chen Huoshi quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Although Ning Wushuang was young, she held the highest status, so everyone, regardless of age, had to bow to her.
"Madam Chen, please rise. Today you are the birthday celebrant. Regardless of whether you are a subject or a ruler, we should only consider age." Ning Wushuang said, nodding in greeting. "May you enjoy boundless happiness and longevity."
Following behind, Ruhua presented the birthday gifts she had brought.
Yunyi and Zhuang Xiuxiu also joined in the birthday wishes and presented gifts.
Yu Lan looked at Yun Yi and smiled brightly. She admired Yun Yi very much because her suggestion had saved both of her sons from unnecessary trouble.
She had previously sent her two sons home, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry.
The eldest brother had already secured a position in the Eastern Camp of the Capital Region, but he left, and his position was taken over. The next day, the incident occurred when the horse was startled during a patrol. Fortunately, the man was small and was thrown far away, avoiding large rocks on the ground and not sustaining any serious injuries. If it had been Chen Shengyi, who was 1.9 meters tall, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The third day was the day the second son was to take the exam at Longming Academy, but rumors of cheating surfaced, and all the students were turned away.
Being rejected is secondary; the main problem is that it ruins the reputation of all students, making it very difficult to pursue the imperial examination path in the future.
When Chen Huoshi faced Yun Yi, her smile faded: "Miss Fang, you flatter me. After all, someone who can communicate with spirits is far more powerful than the Imperial Advisor."
The moment Zhou Ni saw Yun Yi, her eyes narrowed involuntarily, and her fingers unconsciously tightened. A sharp pain shot through her palm, and her nail broke. This brought her back to her senses, and she forced a smile: "Spiritual communication? Is it true?"
As soon as Yunyi entered the door, she felt the old county princess's gaze, which seemed rather unfriendly to her. However, she couldn't remember how the original owner of this body had offended her.
There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason.
It can't be that just because she has a good relationship with the Chen family, she's also trying to stand up for the Chen family, right?
However, he didn't let anyone see it on his face. Instead, he smiled humbly and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. Miss Rui'er was unconscious because of a head injury. After the blood stasis was cleared, she naturally woke up. Where did this talk of spiritual communication come from?"
“Miss Fang is too modest. I have lived most of my life and believe in these things the most. People who can communicate with spirits have a third eye. It just so happens that I also have an old friend who has passed away. I have always wanted to see him. If Miss Fang can help me fulfill my wish, then she will be my benefactor.”
“We can give it a try.” Yunyi nodded with a smile. “But we don’t know if that person is a good person or a bad person. If it’s a good person, their soul might not have been reincarnated yet, but if it’s an evil person… they might already be in the eighteenth level of hell, which would be very troublesome.”
