The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

Yuxi smiled, nodded a little bit and said, “I know.” No matter what Yuchen did, it would always be good, and whatever she did would always be wrong and there would always be ulterior motives behind everything she did. Although she was helpless, this was the reality. She didn’t want to explain any more because she felt it would be unnecessary.[+]This noob translation was translated by a noob translator, きつね.

Instead of staying in Tingyun Pavilion for dinner, Yuxi went back to Taoran House.

At the time Momo[+]wet nurse Gui noticed Yuxi leave with a solemn expression, she went in and asked Yuchen, “Miss, what’s wrong with the Fourth Miss?”

Yuchen sighed slightly, “I told her that she shouldn’t go to Dage[+]eldest brother’s side so often. Her heart might not be feeling comfortable right now.” From the incident with Heshou Xianzhu[+]he = harmonious, shou = long life, xianzhu=Princess of the Fourth Rank/usually granted to the daughter of a Junwang, it was clear that Dage[+]eldest brother had been acting too hastily, without even considering the consequences to others at all. If not, why would Jianjun and Jiancheng still be in bed even now? She was really worried that if Yuxi stayed with Dage[+]eldest brother for a long time, she would also become radical in her actions.

Momo[+]wet nurse Gui was startled, “Miss, how could you tell Fourth Miss about this? If you told her like this, won’t Fourth Miss be furious?” Anyone who knew that their private secrets had been pried open would surely not be happy.

Yuchen said with a wry smile, “I also hope she won’t go astray. Why was Fourth Sister unable to think properly? Dage[+]eldest brother is a shizi[+]an heir to a noble family. He can make mistakes and be able to correct them, but she doesn’t have that ability! If people knew that she is learning political tactics from Dage[+]eldest brother, who will dare to marry her in the future.” She was shocked when she first heard Momo[+]wet nurse Gui’s guess. She endured it for a long time, but in the end, she could not resist her worries and laid her cards on the table[+]have a showdown with Yuxi.

Momo[+]wet nurse Gui knew that Yuchen really treated Yuxi as her own sister. Otherwise, she would not have gone to such great lengths. “I hope Fourth Miss will understand this painstaking effort on Miss’ part.” She really felt that Yuxi did not know that her Miss was doing this for Yuxi’s own sake.

Coincidentally, Yuxi had just finished her dinner. Han Jianming sent someone over to call Yuxi to his study, saying he needed her help for something.

Seeing that Yuxi’s face was not right, Han Jianming was surprised that he asked, “What’s wrong? Why is your face looking this bad? Are you not feeling well?”

Yuxi shook her head and told him, “Today, San Jie[+]san=third, jie=older sister, short form for Jiejie told me that Grandmother and Father already know that I am learning political tactics from Dage[+]eldest brother. She advised me not to learn these things from Dage[+]eldest brother anymore, since this will be harmful to me.” Yuchen’s words were right. A woman who was too clever, and the kind that had her cleverness exposed, would indeed provoke suspicion and defensiveness from other people. It was an oversight on her part that she had not thought of before.

Han Jianming smiled, “What, scared? Want to back out?” It was true that Yuxi was learning about it, but she did not learn it from him, but practiced what she had learned from the books. Only this was something he hadn’t told to anyone, not even to his Grandmother.

Yuxi was silent for a moment before she confessed, “It’s not that I want to back out, but I don’t want to stand out. I’m a woman, not a man. If people know that I’m studying these things, it will be harmful to me. Even to the extent that it will be hard for the family whom I’m going to marry into in the future.” She could study it on her own without coming to Dage[+]eldest brother’s place which could attract other people’s eyes. She was the one who hadn’t thought it through before, and now, she hadn’t expected she would end up with such a big problem.

Han Jianming didn’t say anything as he turned around and took out a brocade box from the shelf. Yuxi thought it was a rare treasure, but didn’t expect that the brocade box contained a map.[+]This noob translation was translated by a noob translator, きつね.
