Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant Chapter 8 Everyone Wants to Step on It
The sky gradually darkened, and Yunyi made herself a small pot of vegetable porridge. These past few days, the original host hadn’t eaten properly, and there were no other ingredients in the house. Moreover, Old Master Chu had just been buried, so she didn’t want to make too many changes and arouse suspicion.
Just as she finished dishing out the porridge, a voice ca from outside the main gate, "Chuyunyi, are you ho?"
Yunyi found the voice sowhat familiar but couldn’t imdiately recall who it belonged to.
The young man standing outside the main gate, seeing it remained closed, was growing impatient and about to knock again when the door finally opened.
Drawing on the original host’s mories, Yunyi recognized the cold-faced Qin Jianghui standing outside the main gate. She naturally knew who he was. "What brings you here so late?"
Qin Jianghui, not hearing the usual ’Brother Jianghui,’ felt a bit unaccustod. "My grandfather sent with a ssage for you. He wants you to visit our ho tomorrow."
Even if the Qin Family mbers don’t invite , I would have made the trip. However, judging by Qin Jianghui’s expression, his mother must have gotten her way.
Without further pleasantries, Yunyi simply nodded. "I understand."
Qin Jianghui wanted to say more, but Yunyi didn’t give him the chance. "We’ve just had a funeral here, so it’s not appropriate to invite you in. If there’s nothing else, you should head back."
Hearing this, Qin Jianghui’s temper flared, his expression turning foul. "I’ve delivered the ssage. Don’t forget."
With that, he turned and stord off.
Yunyi curled her lip disdainfully. If Old Master Qin hadn’t insisted on arranging this marriage all those years ago, his mother and son wouldn’t have had the chance to look down on the original host. They really think they’re sothing special!

After eating and cleaning up, Yunyi strolled around the courtyard to aid her digestion, contemplating her next moves.
She practiced a set of boxing forms in the courtyard. Seeing it was about ti, she changed her clothes, preparing to go deal with soone.
Instead of using the main gate, she used a ladder to scale the wall and slip out. She planned to return by climbing a tree and hopping the fence, ensuring minimal noise.
Avoiding being seen, she reached the large communal courtyard ahead. Taking advantage of her spatial ability, she found an opportunity to enter the Sun Family’s property and then imdiately slipped into her space.
Rembering what the original host had heard from Sun Ruiming, I’m filled with contempt. This family is truly calculating.
That Sun Ruiming even planned to set a trap for the original host, to make her feel so ashad she’d be at the Sun Family’s rcy in the future.
To harm an innocent girl who was utterly devoted to him! It’s dreadful to think what would have beco of the original host if he had succeeded.
Since he dared to harbor such thoughts, I’ll let him experience the consequences of universal condemnation. Giving people a taste of their own dicine is my specialty.
Just then, she heard soone inside the house say, "Ruiming, don’t go wandering around these next few days. Visit the Chu Family more often, so no one else beats you to it."
A nonchalant voice replied, "Dad, relax. You know Chuyunyi’s attitude towards . Even when Old Master Chu was alive, he couldn’t stop . Now, whatever I say goes. Don’t worry, I’ve got this figured out."
At this point, the Sun Family’s eldest daughter-in-law chid in, "Third Brother, with Old Master Chu gone, plenty of families around here are eyeing his granddaughter. You can’t afford to be careless, or soone might steal her away from under your nose."
Hearing his eldest sister-in-law’s words, Sun Ruiming boasted smugly, "She’s going to the countryside in a few days. Anyone who tries to make a move will just be wasting their effort."
Then another voice added, "Third Brother, if Chuyunyi is going to the countryside, her house will just be empty, won’t it? Could you ask her to lend it to us to live in?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room turned to look at Sun Ruiming.
