Chapter 229 Honghui
The Fourth Lady looked at Yunyan and the other three, who acted as if nothing had happened, but she had no idea what to do. She really couldn't hit them or scold them!
The Fourth Lady: "Alright, alright, now that everyone has left, stop pretending!"
The Ninth and Tenth Concubines laughed out loud instantly, and the Ninth Concubine said with a hint of disgust: "Haha... Fourth sister-in-law, I don't agree with what you said. When did I ever pretend? I was clearly expressing my true emotions, okay? I really disliked her. To be honest, if it weren't for my third brother, I wouldn't want to bother with her!"
The Tenth Lady also nodded and said, "That's right, she's both naive and playful, that's exactly her!"
Yunyan, who was eating snacks, paused for a moment, but soon her hands returned to normal, as if she didn't hear what the Tenth Lady said. Yunyan absolutely did not admit that she was the one who taught her these words!
It's quite funny to say. The Tenth Concubine is obviously a Mongolian, but she is very interested in playing chess. However, her aptitude is very poor. Yunyan saw it several times that the Tenth Concubine pestered the Ninth Concubine to play chess with her. The Ninth Concubine looked so desperate that she couldn't help but complain!
At first, the Ninth and Tenth Fujins didn't understand what it meant. But after hearing Yunyan's explanation, the Ninth Fujin often used this sentence to ridicule the Tenth Fujin. Now, it was the Tenth Fujin's turn to use this sentence to criticize others!
When the Fourth and Ninth Concubines heard what the Tenth Concubine said, they just rolled their eyes and pretended they didn't hear it. In fact, they couldn't figure out what the Third Concubine was thinking.
Just when the Fourth Lady was chatting and laughing with Yunyan and the others, a servant suddenly came to report that Honghui had arrived. As soon as Honghui entered the room, he was very polite and bowed to Yunyan and the others!
Honghui: "My son has met mother, eighth aunt, ninth aunt, and tenth aunt!"
The Fourth Lady quickly helped her son up and asked Honghui questions with a smile!
The Fourth Lady: "Hui Er, the homework is done!"
Honghui smiled and nodded, saying, "In reply to mother, I have finished everything! I heard that Eighth Aunt, Ninth Aunt and Tenth Aunt were here, so I came here specially!"
The Ninth Lady looked at Honghui's well-behaved appearance and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are really good at teaching people. Look how well-behaved Honghui is! Unlike that naughty boy in our family, Mingming is a princess, but he acts like a prince!"
When the Fourth Lady saw the Ninth Lady's doting expression mixed with a hint of helplessness, she knew that the Ninth Lady was just being polite, so she just smiled!
Yunyan looked at the mother and son in front of her and felt it was ridiculous. They looked quite harmonious, but in fact, they were more respectful than intimate! You know, the mother and son of the Fourth Lady and Honghui were the closest people in the world!
When the Fourth Lady faced Honghui, although she had a smile on her face and her tone was extremely gentle, one could still see the severity between her brows. From this, one could tell how high the Fourth Lady's expectations were for Honghui!
But after all, this is someone else's family affair, and Yunyan will not meddle in other people's business. To be honest, Yunyan's relationship with the Fourth Lady is not as good as her relationship with the Ninth Lady and the Tenth Lady!
It’s simply because the Tenth Lady is easy to get along with and Yunyan doesn’t feel uncomfortable, so they interact more often!
Tenth Lady: "Fourth sister-in-law, it's a rare occasion for you to go out and have fun, why are you still bringing homework? Fourth brother, isn't this too inhumane?"
The Fourth Lady still smiled gently and said, "Honghui is the eldest son after all? Your Fourth Brother has high expectations for him. Besides, weren't your Fourth Brother and his brothers like this before? Even the Ninth Brother and the Tenth Brother were also busy with their studies before!"
The Ninth and Tenth Concubines understood what the Fourth Concubine said. After all, the rules of the Shangshufang have not been changed. Even those horrible rules made them worry about their future sons!
Yunyan looked at Honghui, who looked a little sick, and knew that he had a weak body. It should be brought from the womb, and whether he was well taken care of later. Yunyan didn't want to interfere in other people's affairs, but looking at Honghui smiling shyly at her, she couldn't bear it!
Yunyan: "Fourth sister-in-law, Honghui is still young, you can't keep him in the study to do homework, you should let him walk around outside more often, and I see that he doesn't look well, Fourth sister-in-law, shouldn't you pay more attention to him?"
When the Fourth Lady heard what Yunyan said, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked at Honghui carefully and found that his expression was no different from usual, so she felt relieved!
As for the remaining half, the Fourth Lady let it go completely only after she carefully questioned the people serving Honghui and found that there was no difference from usual!
Yunyan frowned when he saw that what he said did not attract the attention of the Fourth Lady. He was not exaggerating nor trying to please the Fourth Lady, but Honghui's expression was really abnormal!
The Fourth Lady did not think Yunyan was making a fuss. Seeing Yunyan frowning, she knew that Yunyan had misunderstood, and said calmly, "Sister-in-law, thank you for caring so much about Hui'er. Sister-in-law, you may not know that Hui'er has always been weak, but he has gotten better in recent years. He is not as sick as before, right?"
Honghui was a very sensitive person. He was very sensitive to the fact that Yunyan was very unhappy. After thinking for a while, he raised his lips and said with a very sweet smile: "Thank you, Aunt Eight. Hui'er is in good health recently and is not feeling unwell!"
Yunyan looked at Honghui with a cold face. Her silence gave people a strong sense of pressure, making Honghui feel like his father!
The Ninth and Tenth Fujins looked at each other, then looked at the Fourth Fujin and Honghui, and then looked at Yunyan with a cold face. The Ninth Fujin couldn't help but said, "Fourth sister-in-law, why don't you ask a doctor to check Honghui's pulse? Seriously speaking, Honghui's complexion is indeed a little abnormal!"
The Tenth Lady also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Fourth Sister-in-law, why don't you ask a doctor to take a look, so that we can rest assured, Fourth Sister-in-law, Eighth Sister-in-law..., Eighth Sister-in-law is just kind-hearted, don't mind it too much!"
Ninth Concubine: "Eighth Sister-in-law, have you figured out something? You might as well tell Fourth Sister-in-law directly. She will definitely not be angry!"
As soon as the Ninth Concubine finished her words, Yunyan's cold gaze instantly fell on the Ninth Concubine, making the Ninth Concubine dare not speak anymore!
