The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

iately dismissed it.
If Yuxi had that skill, she would not have ended up in the situation she was in now. Please read this chapter at xinshou blogspot com.

 

Momo Gui's heart fluttered, but she still spoke the words she had in her heart, “Wangfei, to speak against taboo, I have always felt that the Fourth Miss will harm Niangniang* in the future.” It was her intuition.
There was no reason for it.
She could only say that she just thought it would be so. [*]

 

Yuchen did not expect Momo Gui to hate Yuxi to this extent and said at once, “Let's not talk about the fact that what you say are only your worries.
Let's say that if you truly do it, have you thought about the consequences?” Once Yuxi died, there would be no damage to Yun Qing, but the damage to Yuchen would be very significant.
To brutalise closely related kin because of a baseless concern, just the slightest whisper of this would not only have her natal's family turning their backs on her, but even her pillow-mate would have to be wary of her.

 

Momo Gui sincerely admitted her mistake, “I was being thoughtless.” In fact, she was just saying it, that was all, and she was not secretly plotting to have Yuxi killed.

 

After a pause, Momo Gui added, “Niangniang, why don't we put a few people around the Fourth Miss? In the future, if she has that intention in mind, we can at least be prepared.”

 

Yuchen was silent for a moment and then nodded, “You can arrange this.
Yuxi is very vigilant.
You must carefully choose the people you put in so that there won't be any slightest flaw.”

 

Momo Gui nodded and assured her, “Wangfei doesn't have to worry.
There will be no mistakes.”

 

The day before the New Year, Momo Quan led Momo Qu into the State Residence to see Yuxi. Momo Qu was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a round bun, two silver hairpins on her head, and wearing a sixty per cent new raven-coloured dress.
She was a little thin, but she looked very calm. [+]

 

Yuxi looked at Momo Qu and asked, “Do you hate your brothers and nephews when they treat you like this?” Honestly, just by looking at Momo Qu's expression, Yuxi already knew her answer, but she had deliberately asked this question.

Momo Qu said, “I don't hate them.
To me, they are already a bunch of insignificant people.” It would be a lie to say that she didn't hate them at all, but if she were to take revenge, she couldn't do so.
After all, those were the Qu family's people, and she couldn't do that to them, so it was better for her to stay away.

 

Yuxi asked again, “I am going to marry to the northwest and will probably not be able to return to the capital for the rest of my life. Momo Qu, are you willing to go with me to the northwest?”

 

Momo Qu said, “If I were unwilling, I would not have come.” The conditions in the northwest were bitter, but even if they were, it would not be like that for the General's wife, nor would those who served them.

 

Yuxi looked at Momo Qu and asked the last question, “If you want to stay with me, you must sign the servant deed.
I can assure you that I will still support you when you're getting older.”

 

Momo Qu nodded without even thinking, “Alright.” She had been prepared for this before she came.
Since she knew what Yuxi had done to her other mama, she had let go of the last of her worries.
She no longer worried about being abandoned by her Master's family when she was too old even to move.
This cautiousness was not because Momo Qu was acting like a man of Qǐ who feared the sky was falling, but there were many precedents.

 

When Momo Qu signed the servant deed, she officially became the housekeeper of Taoran House, and naturally, her title changed from Momo Qu to Mama Qu.
This time, all that was left was to find a cook.

 

A few days after the New Year, Qiu Shi told Yuxi that she had found someone who was an excellent cook.
This person was also the offspring of a family servant, twenty-seven years old, already a mother of three children, and a wonderful cook.
Thus, Qiu Shi had taken a fancy to her.

 

When Yuxi heard that the other person was the mother of three children, she shook her head and said, “This person won't do.” The three children could not go with their mother, and Yuxi could not do such a thing as to separate people from their flesh and blood.
Moreover, if this person did not go with them sincerely, it would leave a scourge in the future.

 

Mama Li said, “Miss, I have a candidate here, but I don't know if Miss will use her?” The candidate Mama Li suggested was the daughter of her husband's distant sister-in-law.
That woman had a miserable life.
Her husband had passed away from an accident and was followed by her daughter's death because of illness.
Now, that woman had gone back to her natal's house and had a hard time there.

Before Yuxi could say anything, Qiu Shi spoke first, “No.
It's unlucky.
So no.” A dead husband and a dead daughter would generally be fine.
It was bad luck to have such a person with Yuxi when she was going to get married.

 

Mama Li looked at Yuxi and was disappointed to see that she did not say anything.

 

Yuxi did not care whether the other party was a widow, nor did she think that woman was unlucky.
It was just that she felt that a woman who had been so traumatised must not be in good health.
If Yuxi allowed that woman to travel with her for a few months, she would not last long enough to reach the border town, and by then, she would only be a burden.

 

Yuxi said, “Mother, let's put the cook's affairs aside for now!” In fact, from today's incident, Yuxi realised that she had come to a dead end.
Why did she have to find someone who was particularly good at cooking? She could just find someone who had a talent for cooking and just train her well.

 

Momo Gui was a little frustrated to know that neither of their two candidates had been chosen and complained to Yuchen, “I wonder what kind of cook the Fourth Miss wants?”

 

Yuchen was not surprised.
“The kitchen is of the utmost importance, and nowadays it is different from the past, so Yuxi must be very cautious.” Yuchen was overthinking it.
Yuxi was considering many things at this time, but she hadn't considered the possibility of someone planting a spy on her side, as her status hadn't changed yet.
But just because Yuxi didn't realise it, it didn't mean that those around her didn't.

 

That evening, Mama Qu reminded Yuxi to be on the lookout for someone to be planted on her side.
In other words, she told her to be on the lookout for someone who would put a spy on her side.

 

Yuxi's eyes widened at first, and then she came to her senses.
Naturally, the Fourth Miss Han family was not worthy for someone to place a spy, but the future general's wife was a different story.
“Thanks, Mama, for reminding me.” This was the benefit of having someone with a lot of experience around.

 

Mama Qu said, “This is what I should do.
Miss, it is not necessary to find a cook who knows how to cook, but a maid who has a talent for cooking can also be trained.”

 

Yuxi smiled and said, “I think so too.
But this is not something that we should publicise.” It would be better to choose the candidate privately, not make it known to the public.
