Older sister
Older sister
Yin Ruofei slept very lightly. When the old lady was scolding in the outer room, he had some perception of it. As soon as he heard his eldest sister return home, he woke up with a start.
The eldest miss of the Yin family is the elder sister of Yin Ruofei, 17 years old this year. She was engaged to the second son of the Zhongyongbo Mansion and got married for a year. Now she is already six months pregnant. Before that, Dalian suddenly passed away, and the eldest miss fainted in the mourning hall. After checking, it was found that she was already pregnant at that time. Her belly was already six or seven months old and it was not very convenient to move around.
Yin Ruiqin's arrival washed away the hint of sorrow on Old Madam's face, replacing it with some joy. This eldest granddaughter was raised by Old Madam herself, and had a gentle and elegant temperament, as well as being one of the most beautiful among all the children in the Yin family.
Family background, appearance, and temperament, this elder sister can be said to have gathered the advantages of heaven, earth, and human, married well, and her husband has some prestige.
But Yin Ruofei knew that her elder sister was good in every way, but she had no son, only a daughter. Even if the couple's feelings were sincere, they couldn't withstand the criticism and gossip from her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.
They were sisters and brothers with a big age gap, the elder sister and younger brother. Although they had deep feelings for each other, after all, their ages differed too much. Every time the elder sister came to put on a brave smile, he never found out that later when the elder sister lost power, the two siblings couldn't even see each other's faces again.
While thinking, Yin Ruiqin had already entered the outer room. Because she was six months pregnant, Old Madam didn't let her pay respects and hurriedly told Biyu to help Yin Ruiqin sit down.
"How did Qiner think of coming back? Isn't there something wrong?" The old lady was somewhat puzzled, reasonably speaking, Yin Ruiqin's body wasn't convenient, let alone the Huai Junfu's cherished daughter, even the Zhongyongbofu valued this grandson in her belly, shouldn't have let her move around.
"Grandma, don't worry. I've come because I haven't seen you for many days and my heart is really anxious. That's why I'm back to pay my respects to you and also to see my younger brother." Yin Ruiqin grew up in front of the old lady since she was a child and was very spoiled, so her words were also quite casual.
"I knew you'd think of me, old lady," she said. "It's because of Fei'er." Mentioning Yin Ruofei, the old lady sighed. "Why does this child always have one disaster after another? The other day, she fell into the pond, and today her head was broken."
"What? Brother was..." Yin Ruiqin suddenly stood up, and the maid who was attending to her quickly supported her. This sudden movement not only startled the maids but also gave old Mrs. a fright.
Although Yin Ruiqin is the eldest daughter of the Marquis Hou's family, she is also the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhongyongbo Duke's family now. If something happens to her here, the Yin family will not be able to say anything about it.
"You silly girl, with your hair all disheveled, you're almost a married woman now, and yet..." The old lady scolded her roundly.
"Grandma, how badly is my brother hurt?" Yin Ruiqin refused to sit down and only asked about the situation with Yin Ruifei.
She heard that her younger brother was in trouble, so she wanted to come over, but as a married woman, it's not that simple. However, her husband loved and cherished her, personally escorting her to the manor, only waiting for him to finish his official business before coming back to pick her up. Even so, they still missed each other by a day or two.
She hadn't even digested the fact that she had fallen into the water, and now another thing had happened to break her head, it was really killing her.
Her mother had only one son in her life, her only younger brother, the future master of the Hou Mansion. But her mother's departure was sudden, and this younger brother also encountered one thing after another, making her heart suddenly hang in mid-air.
"The doctor took a look and said it's nothing serious, just need to rest more." The old lady knew what she was thinking and was also relieved that although the sister and brother were of different ages, they were still close siblings after all. She gently patted Yin Ruiqin's hand, "Qin'er don't worry, this family still has me, your mother-in-law."
"Grandma, why don't you let Fei'er come stay with me for a few days?" Yin Ruiqin was still somewhat uneasy.
"No need." The old lady refused outright, "With me around, these evil spirits can be suppressed."
Yin Ruofei lay on the bed, listening to the two people talking in low voices outside, and was really anxious. Although it seemed that the two had not seen each other for more than half a year, they had actually been separated for many years between the yin and yang worlds. So Yin Ruofei could no longer bear it, and took advantage of Zi Ling's inattention to get up.
"Older sister."
"Little brother, how did you get up?" Yin Ruiqin heard that her little brother had a headache and was resting, so she didn't want to disturb him. She just took a glance at him when she left, but unexpectedly the kid got up.
"Grandma, elder sister." Yin Ruofei sat down beside the old lady, leaning against her.
"Was it your sister who woke you up?" Yin Ruiqin pulled her little brother, carefully examining his head, and was so heartbroken that she almost shed tears. The several small maids beside her hurriedly comforted her, fearing that she would be heartbroken, which would not be good for the fetus in her belly. Yin Ruiqin waved away the maids, only carefully looking at Yin Ruofei's head, "Does the wound still hurt?"
Yin Ruiqin had always been gentle with her only younger brother. In those years after their mother passed away, Yin Ruifei almost found maternal love in her older sister. Seeing her older sister's apologetic face, she quickly shook her head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Yin Ruofei smiled and said, "It's all because of my brother's mischievousness that he has troubled his sister."
"Oh my, it's been a few days since we last met, how did your mouth become so sweet?" Yin Ruiqin laughed and said.
Yin Ruofei's words were sincere and heartfelt. In his past life, he was extremely unruly, and his elder sister had tried to advise him with all her might. Although he listened to some of it, under the pressure of internal and external troubles, he couldn't put them into practice.
In the end, it ended up with the elder sister being dissatisfied by her husband's family, who used a very heavy excuse to detain her in the mansion, making it difficult for the siblings to meet again.
At this time, he already knew about the various things that would happen later, and he must have been determined to bring peace within and without, not allowing his sister to suffer from injustice.
After some thought, since Elder Sister has given birth to a little niece, she must not be infertile. Her husband is also working hard day and night, so why hasn't there been any news of another child?
Yin Ruofei had a close call with death and thought more than others, at this moment her heart skipped a beat: Could it be that someone had tampered with things?
Yin Ruofei couldn't help but forget about etiquette, reaching out to grab her older sister's hand. "Sister, you must take good care of yourself, have someone check your pulse regularly, and think carefully about which people in the house can be trusted and which cannot. Don't eat anything indiscriminately." Yin Ruofei paused for a moment, he himself had some medical skills, but couldn't say so at this time, and there was no one around him who could help with this aspect. For a while, he was stuck, only managing to squeeze out a sentence: "One must always be on guard against others!"
Yin Ruiqin was held by her brother and said these words, first with some wide eyes and surprise, then lost in laughter, and finally moved to hug her brother, "It's hard for my brother to think of his sister like this, but you little guy thinks too much."
The old lady sighed slightly and slowly opened her mouth. "Fei'er, that bald-headed kid, where did he hear these things from? However... Qiner, although your brother's words were a bit too much, this is something I must remind you of."
"What's going on, Grandma?" Yin Ruiqin's slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, "I've been married for over a year, I've been filial to my parents-in-law, loving to my sisters-in-law, and haven't offended anyone. Could it be that someone still wants to harm me like this?"
"Fei'er, you're not feeling well, go rest!" The old lady didn't pay attention to Yin Ruiqin, but instead spoke to Yin Ruofei. Yin Ruofei had wanted to listen in, but this was all women's private matters, and neither the old lady nor Yin Ruiqin wanted him to hear it, so he could only properly bow and honestly enter the inner chamber to continue his convalescence.
"Grandma, I feel like Fei'er is..." Yin Ruiqin lightly bit her lip, unsure of how to describe it.
"Alas, this child is in trouble!" The old lady sighed, "It's all because of my momentary negligence. I thought that person would at least save face, but who knew that little woman didn't care about saving face at all."
Yin Ruiqin didn't know who the old lady was referring to, and she wanted to ask another question, but the old lady waved her hand to stop her from speaking. "This matter, I shouldn't have told you, it's not proper."
A married-out daughter is of little use in managing her parents' household affairs.
Yin Ruiqin clenched the handkerchief in her hand. The old lady spoke again, "What I said earlier, I haven't finished yet. Fei'er is right, this kind of vigilance against others is indispensable, you..."
Yin Ruofei fell asleep after lying down for a while, but he didn't know that on the other side, his father, Zhenjiang Hou, had just returned home and was greeted by someone sent by Xiaolin Shi.
