Ye Hui secretly rolled her eyes. She liked men, but only excellent ones. Having transmigrated to a good era, she wouldn’t settle for just any man, especially not a pretty boy like Zhou Ming.
The second master was considerate! Madam Qin patted his shoulder, as if he had brought her great honor.
Master Qin was long accustomed to such scenes and pretended not to see.
The narrative continues with complex family dynamics, negotiations about taking a concubine, and Ye Hui’s internal resistance to the proposed arrangement.
When she was about to go to bed, Ye Hui instructed: “I don’t want to wait foolishly like today for Grandmother’s morning and evening check-ins. The distance to Zhen Chun Hall is only a few dozen meters. Tomorrow morning, go and inquire about her situation. Once you know she has gotten up, come back and call me.”
“Don’t worry, Miss. I will ensure you don’t suffer like today,” Mo Qi thought this was a trivial matter. He had already arranged all the servants in the Qin household, and tomorrow he would just inform everyone, and someone would surely come to relay the message. He extinguished the lamp and quietly withdrew.
Ye Hui, assured by his promise, slept peacefully. In ancient times, without television or internet, the only good thing was being able to sleep well.
Since kindergarten, she had been deprived of the right to sleep in. Even during holidays, she couldn’t rest, going to supplementary classes and various talent classes, exhausted to the point of near death. After starting work, she was grinding herself to the bone from nine to five, and even at home, she would prepare proposals, her mind filled with work content. Until one day, unable to bear it, she silently lay in the hospital and passed away not long after.
Being able to live again was Heaven’s great favor, and she was determined to cherish it well.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of returning to her natal home. Early in the morning, Old Master Qin had people bring several large packages for her to take back, and her elder brother and sister-in-law also sent some items with their servants.
