The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 41 Sisters Reconcile

That day, the sun shone brightly in the courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion. Yunxi sat steadily on a stone bench, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes fixed on the account book in her hands, almost making a hole in it.

She was wearing a light blue dress. Although the patterns on the cuffs were delicate, she didn't care about them.

Her black hair was simply tied up, with a few strands of hair hanging unruly in front of her forehead, which made her look somewhat feminine.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Yunxi looked up and saw Lin Yurou, the daughter of the Marquis's family, walking towards her step by step.

Lin Yurou was wearing a pink silk dress today. The peonies embroidered on the hem looked real, swaying with her steps.

Looking at her again, she had a golden hairpin on her head, which swayed with every step she took, making people dizzy.

Yunxi threw the account book aside, stood up, folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked straight at Lin Yurou.

Lin Yurou's eyes were evasive, not daring to meet Yunxi's gaze. As she approached, she stopped, took a deep breath, and then took two more steps forward.

Yunxi just stood there, not saying a word, with no expression on her face.

Lin Yurou bit her lip, rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands, and her face turned red and white.

She hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Yunxi, I... I know we had a bad argument before. It's all my fault. I'm narrow-minded and ignorant."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Yunxi still didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. Lin Yurou got anxious, raised her head, looked at Yunxi eagerly, and said, "Yunxi, please say something, don't ignore me like this.

I came here to sincerely apologize to you this time. I will never do that again. Can you please forgive me this time?"

Lin Yurou walked up to Yunxi, bit her lip, and said with a hint of embarrassment on her face, "Yunxi, I...I have something to say to you."

Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Sister, please feel free to speak.

Lin Yurou took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and said, "I was wrong in the past. I always targeted you and made things difficult for you.

Now that the Marquis's Mansion is getting better and better thanks to your efforts, I finally understand how narrow-minded and foolish I was." After saying this, Lin Yurou lowered her head even lower, and the hem of her pink dress swayed slightly with her movements.

She bit her lip, clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her body was shaking slightly, as if it took a lot of effort to just stand there.

Yunxi gently held Lin Yurou's hand and said, "I'm very pleased that my sister thinks this way.

Let the past be the past." Yunxi always had a kind smile on her face, and her eyes were firm and warm, like a look that could melt thousands of years of ice.

Lin Yurou's eyes welled up with tears, and she said, "Before, I only thought that I was the legitimate daughter, so I couldn't let you take the spotlight. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have done that."

She raised her hand and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, messing up her makeup.

Yunxi patted Lin Yurou's hand and said, "Sister, we are all from the Marquis' Mansion. We should unite as one and work together for the future of the Marquis' Mansion."

Yunxi's tone was soft but powerful, and he looked at Lin Yurou sincerely.

Lin Yurou nodded and said, "Yunxi, I will never be like before. I will work with you and do my best for the Marquis' Mansion."

There was a bit more determination in Lin Yurou's eyes, she was no longer evasive and guilty as before.

At this time, the maid Xiao Cui came over with a plate of exquisite snacks in her hand and said, "Miss, these are the snacks newly made by the kitchen."

Xiao Cui had a smile on her face and took steady steps.

Yunxi took the snack, handed a piece to Lin Yurou, and said, "Sister, try it." Yunxi's face was full of anticipation, and her eyes were full of kindness.

Lin Yurou took the dessert, took a bite, and said, "It tastes good." A sincere smile finally appeared on her face, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring.

Yunxi smiled and said, "As long as my sister likes it, our life in the Marquis' Mansion will definitely get better and better in the future."

Lin Yurou quickly responded, "Of course. If there's anything in the future, we can discuss it together."

Yunxi nodded and said, "Okay, sister, as long as we all work together and think in the same direction, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

Lin Yurou also said: "That's right, I was confused before, from now on I will listen to my sister." Yunxi waved her hand: "Sister, you are too kind, let's help each other."

Lin Yurou picked up another piece of dessert and said, "This dessert is really good. I have to reward the kitchen staff later."

Yunxi continued, "Sister, you're right. We should have more good things like this in our mansion." Lin Yurou smiled and said, "Yunxi, let's visit each other more often and don't be so distant."

Yunxi replied, "Of course. I'm so happy that my sister thinks so." The two of them chatted back and forth, having a lively time.

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

A few days later, the Marquis' Mansion held a banquet.

That day, at daybreak, the entire mansion was busy with work. Yunxi and Lin Yurou also got up early and directed the maids and servants to set up the venue.

Lin Yurou rolled up her sleeves and arranged the tables and chairs herself. Her fair face turned slightly red due to the effort, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Seeing this, Yunxi quickly picked up the handkerchief and handed it to Lin Yurou, saying softly, "Sister, take a break and wipe the sweat off your face."

Lin Yurou took the handkerchief, smiled at Yunxi, and said, "It's okay. We have to hold the banquet well and nothing can go wrong."

After saying that, he continued to work with swift hands and feet.

Seeing Lin Yurou working so hard, Yunxi rolled up her sleeves and joined in. She moved lightly and methodically, arranging various tasks, her appearance revealing a sense of cleverness.

As the hours ticked by, the banquet approached, and the venue was almost ready. Yunxi and Lin Yurou stood at the door, adjusting their clothes and hair.

Soon, the guests arrived one after another. Yunxi and Lin Yurou stood at the door, welcoming them with smiles.

"Mrs. Li, welcome." Yunxi bowed slightly with a perfect smile on her face.

"The two young ladies of the Marquis' Mansion are becoming more and more beautiful." Madam Li said with a smile, looking at Yunxi and Lin Yurou.

Lin Yurou smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, thank you for your kind words. Please come in." As she spoke, she turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Guests arrived one after another, and Yunxi and Lin Yurou were busy as they welcomed one guest in before another arrived.

"Mr. Zhang, you are here. Please come in." Yunxi greeted with a smile.

"Wow, this banquet at the Marquis' Mansion is really grand." said Lord Zhang.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Zhang. Please come in and sit down." Lin Yurou replied.

After the banquet began, Yunxi and Lin Yurou toasted together. Yunxi, holding a wine glass, walked lightly to a guest and said, "Master Wang, I toast you. Thank you for coming today."

Mr. Wang quickly stood up and said, "Young lady from the Marquis' Mansion, you are too polite."

Lin Yurou also toasted, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, this glass of wine wishes you all the best."

Young Master Liu quickly raised his glass in response: "Thank you, Miss Lin."

At the banquet, Yunxi and Lin Yurou chatted and laughed with the guests. Yunxi talked about the interesting things that happened in the city recently, making everyone laugh.

Lin Yurou echoed from the side, adding a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

One guest said, "The sisters in the Marquis' Mansion are now living in harmony. It's really enviable."

Yunxi said, "Thank you all for your support. I hope you will take care of the Marquis' Mansion in the future." Her eyes were sincere, which made people feel good about her.

Lin Yurou also said: "Everyone, eat and drink well. Our Marquis Mansion will make sure you enjoy yourself today."

After the banquet, Yunxi and Lin Yurou were both a little tired, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.

Some time later, Yunxi and Lin Yurou were taking a walk in the garden of the Marquis' Mansion.

Lin Yurou said, "Yunxi, I want to learn from you how to manage the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."

Yunxi looked up at Lin Yurou, curled her lips, and replied readily, "Sis, if you want to learn, I'm naturally happy to teach you."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Yurou to sit down at the table, picked up the account book and began to explain in detail.

Yunxi spoke seriously, her eyes shrewd, her hands gesturing, her mouth non-stop: "Sister, look, the daily expenses of this mansion must be recorded clearly, one by one, without any carelessness."

Lin Yurou stared at the account book without blinking, listening attentively, nodding from time to time, and the few strands of hair on her forehead swayed gently with her movements.

One day, Yunxi was reading a book in the room, engrossed in it, when suddenly there was a "bang" and the door was pushed open, and Lin Yurou ran in excitedly.

She ran so fast that her face was flushed and there were a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Yunxi, I have calculated the accounts for that batch of fabrics according to the method you taught me." Lin Yurou said loudly, her eyes full of excitement.

Yunxi put down the book, stood up and walked over, smiling and said, "Sister, you're so smart. You learned it so quickly."

Lin Yurou showed a smug smile on her face and raised her chin: "Of course, don't you see who I am?"

As he said this, he patted his chest.

As the days passed, Yunxi and Lin Yurou's relationship became closer and closer. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion saw it and was happy about it.

That day, Yunxi and Lin Yurou went shopping together. The streets were bustling with people, shouting and haggling.

Lin Yurou looked around like a happy little bird.

Lin Yurou saw the jewelry on a small stall, her eyes lit up, she stopped, tugged at Yunxi's sleeve and said, "Yunxi, do you think this pair of earrings looks good?"

The earrings sparkled in the sunlight, and Lin Yurou couldn't let go of them.

Yunxi took a look and nodded, saying, "It looks good and suits me very well."

Lin Yurou immediately burst into laughter, bought it immediately, put it on her ears, tilted her head and asked, "How is it?"

Yunxi smiled and said, "It's beautiful. Sister looks even more beautiful with these earrings on."

Lin Yurou laughed even more happily after hearing this. The two continued to stroll along the street, chatting and laughing. Seeing a vendor selling candied haws, Lin Yurou bought two strings and gave one to Yunxi.

Seeing the dough figurines being made, Lin Yurou pulled Yunxi over to watch the fun.

Back at the Marquis' Mansion, Lin Yurou took Yunxi's hand and said, "Yunxi, I was wrong before. We sisters must be good to each other in the future."

Lin Yurou's eyes were sincere and firm.

Yunxi nodded and said, "Yes, I will."
