"Cousin-in-law, is your fourth sister the one known as Princess Yijia?" Xun Chuxi asked.
"Yes, that’s her. Chuxi, let’s hurry!" Yun Zihan was very anxious.
In the Yun Family, only Jinnian still remembered her.
Now she had completely severed ties with the Yun Family, never to meet again until death.
"Cousin-in-law, look at the snow outside. You’re pregnant, what if you slip and fall? Shall I go and welcome Princess Yijia for you?" Xun Chuxi asked quietly.
After her initial excitement, Yun Zihan calmed down and thought about it. "Alright, you go. I’ll wait here!"
Xun Chuxi was also very curious about Yun Jinnian.
Firstly, a cousin finding a husband for her cousin was quite strange, but it had somehow worked out.
And now, her cousin and cousin-in-law were exceptionally affectionate toward each other.
Her cousin’s academic progress was even more astoundingly rapid.
All these could not be separated from her cousin-in-law’s contributions and hard work!
When Xun Chuxi saw Yun Jinnian, she instantaneously felt embarrassed and inferior, but she still mustered the courage to step forward and pay her respects, "Greetings, Princess Yijia!"
"You?" Yun Jinnian looked at Xun Chuxi indifferently.
"I am Xun Chuxi, Liao Shijie’s cousin. My cousin-in-law was originally going to personally welcome Princess Yijia, but she is pregnant and with the snow today, I was afraid something might happen to her, so I volunteered to come and greet the Princess!"
Hearing this, Yun Jinnian’s guard was slightly lowered.
This was her first visit to the Liao Residence; previous plans to visit had never come to fruition.
It had to be said, Yun Zihan knew how to live; she kept the house clean and decorated everything with care.
The New Year was approaching, and red lanterns were hung everywhere. There were not many maids or old servants, but they all seemed to be diligent.
When Yun Zihan saw Yun Jinnian, her eyes immediately reddened.
Yun Jinnian approached and took Yun Zihan’s hand, "Sister, how has your health been?"
Yun Zihan replied, turning to Han Tianci on the side, "Tianci!"
"Second sister-in-law, I greet you respectfully!"
Yun Zihan looked at Han Tianci with great affection. "Someone, go and call the master over!"
The maid immediately went to carry out the order.
Yun Zihan then said to Xun Chuxi, "Chuxi, go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare more dishes!"
Xun Chuxi responded and left eagerly.
She was still quite happy in her heart.
She had actually met the Princess!
Yun Zihan, holding Yun Jinnian’s hand, asked anxiously, "How has your past year been living outside?"
"That’s good, that’s good. When I found out you were taking the second aunt out for treatment, I had prepared some medicinal herbs to send to the Han Residence, but you had already left!"
"Grandfather mentioned that you had the intention, second sister!"
Yun Zihan shook her head. "What I’ve done for you doesn’t even amount to one ten-thousandth of what you’ve done for me. When Auntie was alive, she always said we should properly thank you, but before we could, she passed away!"
Remembering Auntie Cui, Yun Jinnian also felt a deep sense of loss.
Yet fated to become nothing more than a concubine.
But Auntie Cui had been kind to her, something she would never forget.
And then she remembered the word Auntie Cui had written on the palm of her hand before she had left.
"Second sister, speaking of Auntie Cui, I went to see her before she passed. She wrote the character ’kang’ in my palm. Do you know what this ’kang’ character represents? What does it mean?" Yun Jinnian asked softly.
She didn’t expect that Yun Zihan would know much about it.
Yet Yun Zihan’s expression suddenly changed, and she gripped Yun Jinnian’s hand. "Jinnian..."
"Second sister, don’t force yourself. I actually haven’t thought deeply about it. I just felt like it was Auntie Cui’s blessing for me!"
Yun Zihan shook her head slightly. "It’s not like that..."
