Chapter 666: Sister-in-law Hua Rou

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Big Brother All You has been framed?” All Yu was anxious. She couldn’t enter the examination hall and couldn’t help.

If there was really no other way, she could only enter the palace to look for the Empress Dowager.

All she could think of was that if a child could not resolve it, she would look for an adult.

Previously, the children could resolve the matter at the quarry. Now that it was a matter concerning the examination hall, she could only look for the adults.

[Oh, it’s fine. It’s resolved.]

“…” All Yu blinked. “Elf, were you teasing me just now?”

It was rare for the elf to joke.

[No, your fiance is quite powerful.]

Just as Meatbail was about to tell Ah Yu in detail, someone came from the side.

This person was wearing a riding suit with her hair tied up. She was dressed like a man, but it was obvious that she was a woman.

“Your name is Ah Yu, right?” The woman casually handed the horse whip to the servant behind her. She sized up Ah Yu and said expressionlessly, “I’ve heard your name before.”

Ah Yu: “You are?”

“Hua Rou. If 1 remember correctly, you should know my husband,” Hua Rou said. “I hope I didn’t remember wrongly.”

Only then did All Yu come to a realization. So it was Murong Run’s wife.

“So it’s Sister-in-law Hua Rou. Nice to meet you. When you got married, I was still traveling outside and didn’t congratulate you in person.” Ah Yu originally wanted to take out a greeting gift, but she felt that it was really inappropriate here, so she smiled at Hua Rou. “Sister-in-law Hua Rou, 1 came in a hurry today and didn’t bring a decent greeting gift. When 1 go back, I’ll send another invitation to your Hua Mansion. You have to accept it.”

This action stunned Hua Rou. “You’re giving me a greeting gift?”

Looking at the young girl in front of her, Hua Rou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was originally a little jealous.

She had only been married to Murong Run for less than two years. Back then, she had only caught a glimpse of him at a banquet. Later on, she did not think too much about it and the two of them got married.

Two years into their marriage, they were still not very close. They could only be considered to be respectful to each other.

Moreover, Murong Run usually resides in Hundred Flowers County, and she can’t bear to leave her parents. She loves to go to Wanning City frequently, resulting in them being apart more often than together, which has inevitably caused some distance between them.

Over the past month, because of the quarry, her husband had stayed in Wanning City and she often heard him say Ah Yu’s name.

Especially her father, General Hua. When he mentioned Ah Yu, he praised her endlessly. When the father and son-in-law start talking about her, they become even more enthusiastic, often laughing heartily.

They said that she was a rare good child among women. Not only was she reliable, but she was also especially popular. If she was a man, her future would be limitless.

As Hua Rou listened, she felt that something was wrong. She was not very jealous of the woman her husband was talking about, but their admiration for this woman.

She had also been valiant all her life. Why didn’t she hear them praise her so much?

She happened to be in a bad mood today. There was a general barracks in the Imperial City. As the direct descendant of the general, she could also enter.

When she arrived at the drill ground, the teacher went crazy for some reason and insisted on letting a group of soldiers lift stones. He said that even an ordinary noble lady could lift so much. They couldn’t be inferior to girls.

This was not the end. When she rode around the barracks, she heard a few soldiers say in a low voice, “Speaking of horses, it reminds me of Village Lord Yu that day. She rode an exceptionally strong goat and looked quite graceful!” “That’s right. She’s really beautiful and kind. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been conferred the title of Village Lord. This means that our Emperor likes her too.”

These words provoked Hua Rou to swing the horsewhip in her hand fiercely in the air, producing a loud bang. The soldier beside her was so frightened that he almost dropped a rock on his foot.

In the end, after leaving the Imperial Horses Ranch, she had just circled around a few halls and planned to take a walk in the small garden beside the Imperial College when she heard two palace maids talking.

One of the little palace maids said in a longing tone, “Village Lord Yu is so good-looking. I’ve never seen a noble who looks more beautiful than her! By the way, Village Lord Yu is now on duty at the Astrology Divination Bureau. As soon as she went, she was warmly welcomed by everyone in the Astrology Divination Bureau. She’s now the commander of the Astrology Divination Bureau.”

“Then let’s visit the Astrology Divination Bureau more in the future. Not to mention anything else, it’s good to bask in the blessings that Village Lord Yu emanates. I heard that Village Lord Yu is very blessed. Perhaps the Astrology Divination Bureau can rise up in the future!”

“Yes, yes, I have the same intention. Village Lord Yu is very kind. I want to go to the Internal Affairs Department to talk to the steward to let me work there in the future. In any case, we’re not from the palace—”

“Then I’ll go with you—”

As the two of them spoke, they walked away happily. Clearly, they had endless expectations for a bright future.

Hua Rou gritted her teeth.

Ah Yu! It was that All Yu again!

Why is this person’s name following me everywhere!

Since she’s in the Astrology Divination Bureau, I’ll go and meet her.

Hence, Hua Rou came over. She originally planned that she might miss her today, but she didn’t expect to meet her on the way.

Actually, Hua Rou had never seen Ah Yu before. She had only heard the description from everyone. After arriving here, she immediately saw All Yu, who was about to leave.

There was no need for anyone to remind her at all. Hua Rou directly recognized the person in front of her. It must be the Ah Yu that everyone was praising.

She called out to the other party in an unfriendly tone. When she calmed down to take a look, she realized that this little girl was really too young.

She originally thought that she would at least be of marriageable age since she came out to work. She didn’t expect that the Little Sister All Yu her husband mentioned was really just a little sister.

She looked to be at most 11 or 12 years old. Even if she was wearing the attire of a Village Lord, no one could picture her as mature.

She had been upset for so many days just because of a little girl. Wasn’t that just causing unnecessary unhappiness for herself?

Moreover, this little girl was really polite. She had just met her and she said that she wanted to give her a greeting gift. She even remembered her name.

“D*mn it.” Hua Rou thought to herself, “What am 1 doing!”

“Sister-in-law Hua Rou?” Ah Yu waved her finger in front of Hua Rou. “Sister-in-law Hua Rou, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just suddenly thought of something that I’m not too happy about, so I won’t tell you. Are you going home?” Hua Rou coughed lightly and threw away the awkward thoughts in her heart. Then, she flicked her whip and said to Ah Yu, “The carriages here are too slow. It might be dark by the time you get home. Where do you live? I’ll give you a ride on my horse. 1 have a second-grade horse. As long as it’s not outside of Wanning City, I can definitely send you there quickly.”

“There’s no need. My family has prepared a carriage for me. We live on Three Thoughts Street. It’s not far. It’s right outside the Imperial City.”

Three Thoughts Street was only separated from the Imperial City by a moat. It was very close.

“Then I’ll leave first. See you, Sister-in-law Hua Rou.” All Yu thought for a moment and took out a piece of pastry from the plate. She wrapped it in a new handkerchief and hurriedly placed it in Hua Ron’s palm. “Sister-in-law, try it. This is made by Big Sister Tang Yuan. It’s very delicious. Are you also on duty in the Imperial City? 1’11 bring you more delicious food next time.”

Ah Yu spoke non-stop. Before Hua Rou could react, she saw the little girl leave in a hurry with her servant girl.

Hua Rou lowered her head and looked at the pastry in her palm. She couldn’t help but smile.

No wonder her husband always praised her for being a warm-hearted little girl.

“Young Miss, Young Miss, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you!” Only then did Hua Ron’s personal maidservant run over in a hurry. She panted for a long time before saying, “Something bad has happened! Young Master was caught cheating in the scientific examination. He’s being sent to jail now!”

Hua Rou was shocked. “What? How could Cousin cheat?”

“I heard that he brought a small notebook with him. Just as he was about to look at it, the inspector came. He threw it into the examination hall opposite in a panic, but it was deflected back by the other party and everything was seen clearly by the inspector!”

“Who’s opposite?”

“I heard that his name is Qin Huai. He’s the Top Scorer of this year’s imperial provincial examination in Wanning City.” The maidservant thought for a moment and tried her best to think of a name. “I think his name is Qin Huai. Ah, right, he’s the fiance of the new Village Lord Yu.”

“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!” The pastry that Hua Rou had just taken a bite of was stuck in her throat..
