Chapter 5

Sister-in-law Sun led Hui Yimei into the inner hall, walked through the small garden, and led her to the house where she used to live.

Hui Yimei's room is in the attic.

Perhaps Mrs. Sun also arranged for someone to clean her house every day, so even though she hadn’t come back for several years, her house was still the same as before... the bedding and pillows on the bed were clean and tidy, and the glass mirror and dowry were placed on the table. A light blue shawl was draped over the screen, and a large vase with fresh flowers was placed under the window.

It all looks neat and casual, as if the owner of the room has never left.

Hui Yimei said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, thank you!"

Mrs. Sun scolded, "Why are you being polite to my sister-in-law! Alas, you have grown up in a blink of an eye! I still remember when you left, you were thin and small, half a head lower than me; Now... she's a beautiful girl!"

Hui Yi pursed her lips and smiled.

After all, Mrs. Sun is a housewife, and after a while, a maid hurried over to ask her about various matters.

Hui Yi frowned and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, feel free to go to work, it's fine for me to be alone."

Sun said, "Well, you have a good rest, I'll go outside and have a look. Stay a while, I'll let the maid come over to accompany you..."

Hui Yi nodded her head.

After Mrs. Sun left, Hui Yimei immediately began to undress...

But just as she took off her coat, she heard footsteps coming upstairs.

"Who is it?" Hui Yimei asked loudly.

A timid female voice rang out, "Miss, I'm Xiaohong, the eldest lady asked me to come and take care of you."

Huiyi let out a sigh of relief.

"come in!"

A young girl in indigo trousers, a white blouse, and a large braid behind her head walked in.

However, when she saw Hui Yimei who was taking off her clothes, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "Help me find a set of pajamas."

Xiao Hong was also clever, and immediately went to the closet to find a set of light yellow pajamas, and helped Mei Hui put them on.

Hui Yimei changed into her pajamas, took off her hair, then walked to the table and opened the dowry to have a look...

She suddenly closed the dowry again.

"Xiao Hong, put away the clothes, pants, shoes, and hat that I have replaced; uh, put them in the ear room first, so that no one can see them..." Hui Yimei ordered.

Although Xiaohong was a little puzzled as to why these clothes could not be seen by others, she still put away all the clothes she had changed.

Hui Yimei was not idle either.

She found the powder box from her lace handbag, looked at the mirror on the table, and applied the powder on her face with a powder puff; she asked Xiaohong while applying the powder, "Is there anyone at home making medicine these days?"

Xiaohong was stunned for a moment before replying, "Recently, the old lady has to take sleeping pills every day..."

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "Then you go to the kitchen and ask for some medicine dregs. Remember, pack it on the serving plate and bring it to my room."

Xiaohong didn't understand why the lady wanted the medicine dregs as soon as she came back, and she had to put them on a plate; but the lady didn't seem to want to explain at all... So Xiaohong had to go to the kitchen.

Huiyi carefully powdered her eyebrows in front of the mirror. After powdering, she applied another layer of cream, and then another layer of powder... Looking at her pale face in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction ; Then he used a powder puff to carefully apply a layer of powder on his ruddy lips.

Xiao Hong came in with a shallow porcelain plate full of medicine dregs.

Seeing that the lady's delicate and beautiful face turned pale like a female ghost, Xiao Hong was taken aback!She was nervously standing against the wall with a large plate, not even daring to take a breath.

Huiyi smiled at her...

Xiaohong quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any further.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "Put this plate under my bed... By the way, you have to find me a pair of slippers."

Xiaohong became more and more confused.

She wanted to ask the young lady why, but because she had just met the young lady and didn't know how the young lady's temper was, she couldn't easily offend her... In the end, she had to follow the young lady's orders one by one.

Hui Yimei once again looked around the room for a week.

After confirming that there were no flaws, she walked to the bed and pulled off the quilt, and lay down on the bed.

Xiaohong was a little at a loss.

Hui Yimei lay down on the bed before she said, "You just stay in my room and don't go anywhere."

Xiaohong had no choice but to respond in a low voice.

From Shanghai to Chuyun Town, I have to get up early to catch the train, and I have to transfer two trains on the way, Hui Yimei is really tired; at this moment, the bedding is fragrant and the pillow is soft, and she soon fell asleep in a daze .

However, she had just fallen asleep when she heard Xiaohong say in fear, "...Miss is asleep."

"It's okay, I just want to see Miss." A long-lost female voice sounded.

Hui Yimei struggled to open her eyes.

She allowed her eyes to pause blankly on the top of the mosquito net, and after five seconds, she slowly turned her gaze to the woman who was already sitting by her bed.

Of course Hui Yimei knew this rich lady who was dressed in an old style and wore a skirt and jacket.

——She is the second wife of the Lin family, Lin Yuehong's mother!

Behind Second Mrs. Lin, Huimu, eldest sister-in-law Sun and fourth sister-in-law Wei Yuzhen followed.

But Hui Yimei didn't get up in a hurry.

She took a few breaths before making the intention to get up.

However, Hui Yimei played a trick.

She didn't use her hands or elbows to make herself sit up very smoothly; instead, she relaxed her hands and laid her legs flat, only relying on the strength of her abdomen to make herself sit up.

So, everyone saw her trembling, trembling all over, trying to sit up from the bed with extreme difficulty...

However, in the end, the "sick" Miss Hui was helped to sit up by the maid.

Sitting on the edge of Miss Hui's bed, Second Mrs. Lin saw the big beads of sweat coming out of her forehead, and saw that this sick beauty was as beautiful as she was beautiful. She had a delicate oval face, The long eyelashes fluttered like a feather fan, and the shape of the lips was beautiful, but the face was horribly pale.

The Second Mrs. Lin cleared her throat and wanted to express condolences to Miss Hui's condition, but she suddenly smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine...

This made her frown uncontrollably.

Her son is a well-known talent all over the country!If she is really matched with such a sick woman... Fortunately, Yingying has already given birth to a son for Zichang. With this sick beauty, it is still a question of whether she can give birth to a child for Zichang!

However, the prestige of the Hui family is increasing day by day. Apart from Hui's second son who is the deputy minister of justice in Beiping, Hui's eldest son, Hui Yonghua, has been admitted to the Dongbo Military Academy this year. Given time, he may also have a bright future Wuliang; in the final analysis, it is her mother-in-law Yan who has a long-term vision. If Zichang has such a Yue family, is he afraid that he will not be able to walk sideways in the future?
but……

Why is Miss Hui such a sick beauty?
The Second Mrs. Lin sighed, and said to Hui Yimei, "Take a good rest, eat whatever you want and play whatever you want... Even if you ask someone to tell me, I will make the decision for you."

Hui Yi lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, her lips parted slightly, "Thank you for your concern..."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her voice was so weak that you couldn't hear it clearly if you didn't listen carefully.

Mrs. Lin Er patted her hand reassuringly, then got up and left.

Mother Hui glanced at her daughter, and walked out behind Second Mrs. Lin without saying a word; sister-in-law Sun looked at Hui Yimei in surprise, but fourth sister-in-law Wei Yuzhen quietly gave her a thumbs up.

After everyone left, Xiao Hong looked at Hui Yimei with admiration.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "Go outside and listen. After the Second Mrs. Lin has left, come back and report to me."

Xiaohong hurriedly responded.

After a while, Xiao Hong ran in, "Miss, Mrs. Lin is gone!"

Hui Yimei still lay on the bed without moving, but said in a muffled voice, "You move a chair to sit at the entrance of the corridor, and do any work; if someone comes, you can say that I am resting, and the rest, don't care. You never know the answer to what other people ask... Do you understand?"

Monk Xiao Hongzhang couldn't figure it out, but seeing the young lady's order, he had no choice but to follow suit.

Xiaohong's family was originally a tenant of Hui's family, her parents signed an employment contract with the master's family, and let Xiaohong work as a maid in Hui's family; counting, she still needs to stay in Hui's family for another year, and then she can Went home and married her fiancé... So Xiaohong moved a small stool, took a small dustpan filled with needlework, and sat at the entrance of the corridor, basking in the sun while embroidering her dowry.

After a while, the eldest wife, Mrs. Sun, came over with the second wife of the Lin family.

Seeing the quietness in Huiyi's brow room, only this young girl was sitting at the door doing needlework, and the fabric was bright red, looking at the embroidery work and style...it looks like a dowry, Second Mrs. Lin Unable to slow down her tone, she asked, "Is your lady better?"

Xiaohong stood up with the dustpan in her hand, lowered her head and replied timidly, "Go back to Madam, our lady is asleep."

"What kind of medicine does your lady take on weekdays?" Second Mrs. Lin asked pleasantly, "I see that your lady's complexion is not good, and I am also a savvy medical practitioner. Tell me about her daily diet and rest conditions." how?"

Mrs. Sun was a little nervous at once, but she didn't dare to speak up in front of Mrs. Lin's second.

Xiaohong's face was dull, "...Responding to my wife, I, I don't know."

The Second Mrs. Lin was a little disappointed, "You don't know what kind of medicine your miss is taking?"

Xiao Hong said, "...I, I am illiterate, I can't understand... It is the medicine prescribed by the doctor."

Thinking of the pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine that she smelled in Huiyi's brow room just now, Second Mrs. Lin immediately turned her head and said to Mrs. Sun, "It seems that traditional Chinese medicine is no longer useful, so I'd better go to the county town and ask Father Tom to come and have a look." it is good."

Sun's jaw said yes.

Second Mrs. Lin stood in the courtyard, looking up at the window in the attic...

It was very quiet in the attic, and there was no movement at all.

Second Mrs. Lin sighed again.

Now the weather is getting warmer at the end of April; but Mrs. Lin remembers very clearly that when she went into the room to visit Miss Hui just now, Miss Hui was still covered with a thick winter quilt, and it was so tightly covered...

Thinking of the bright and stubborn son who had already given birth to a son and a daughter outside, and thinking of the fact that the future daughter-in-law's family has gradually revealed signs of power; Mrs. Lin couldn't help feeling sad.
