Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

Now that I have money in my hands, I feel more confident.

Qin Yunhe took the silver and went to buy two bags of cakes, two fish, and a chicken.

Finally, I went to buy my daughter a new rattle.

My daughter's rattle was missing a drumstick. Yuru had been looking for a small ball to be used as a drumstick, and she also wanted to make a small ball out of a piece of wood to attach it to the rattle.

He told Yu Ru not to bother herself and to buy Lai Di a new one another day.

As a result, he didn't buy a new rattle until they divorced and Yuru left with her daughter. He didn't expect that he would never have the chance to buy a new rattle for his daughter again.

Qin Yunhe was very happy, and walked down the street with big strides, feeling that the world was much higher and wider than the previous two days. He soon arrived at the alley where Yuru's house was.

He was in high spirits along the way, but when he was almost reaching Yu Ru's parents' home, Qin Yunhe felt a little timid.

The last time I came here, I happened to see my brother-in-law Fan Zheng strolling in the yard. When he saw him come in, he almost kicked him out.

Qin Yunhe first stood at the entrance of the alley and observed from a distance. Not many people were coming in or out, and it wouldn't be too embarrassing to be kicked out, so he hurried in.

The door of the Fan family was half open. Looking inside, there was no one in the yard, but a faint smell of food wafted out, probably someone was preparing lunch.

Qin Yunhe knew that since Yuru returned to her parents' home, she had been cooking, so he pushed the door open and went to the kitchen. Unexpectedly, just as he reached the middle of the yard, he ran into Feng who was just coming out of the house and saw him at a glance.

"Oh, isn't this our number one scholar?" Feng said with a giggle, which made Qin Yunhe's heart beat fast.

"Sister-in-law, I came to see Yuru..."

Fan Zheng heard Feng's voice and came out. When he saw Qin Wen, his face darkened and he asked, "Qin Wen? What are you doing here?"

Qin Yunhe groaned inwardly. He originally wanted to see Yuru first so that with her as a blocker, his brother-in-law wouldn't make things too difficult for him. However, he started off badly and met Yuru and her brother and sister-in-law first when he entered the door.

"Brother, I came to see Yu Ru and Lai Di, and give them some New Year's gifts."

Qin Yun was dealing with it timidly when suddenly a clear child's voice came from behind him.

"Uncle!"

Qin Yunhe called out that it was timely, and immediately turned around and squatted to greet Yu Ru's little nephew Fan Hong.

"Hey! Hong'er! Look what delicious food your uncle brought you!"

Fan Hong ran up to the front, stopped, and grabbed the two bags of cakes with one hand.

If we were to say who in the Fan family likes Qin Yunhe the most, it would be the youngest son Fan Hong.

Fan Zheng always disliked Qin Yunhe for not living up to expectations, and always used Qin Yunhe as a negative example when educating his son. But Qin Yunhe was very popular with children, and even though he didn't try to coax him, Fan Hong was naturally close to him.

"Uncle, is this the one I like best?" Fan Hong untied the two packages of cakes tied together and handed one to Lai Di who had just come up behind him. He muttered happily, "One for my sister and one for me. Just right!"

Fan Zheng said angrily: "Take your things back, Hong'er! Give them back to him."

Qin Yunhe squatted on the ground and watched Fan Hong distribute the cakes attentively. He gritted his teeth and didn't look up, hoping that Yu Ru would hear the sound and come out soon.

"Awen?" Yu Ru, who was cooking in the kitchen, finally heard the conversation outside and hurried over.

Ever since she heard from her sister-in-law in the morning about how Qin Yun went to pound rice for someone else, Fan Yuru has been worried, but she has no one to find out the truth.

Seeing Qin Yunhe coming over, he didn't care about anything else. He pulled Qin Yunhe and looked him up and down, wanting to see if there was anything wrong with him.

Although he had seen Yu Ru after his rebirth, Qin Yunhe still felt a sense of unreality when he saw her again after a few days.

Here, the couple were expressing their feelings when they heard Feng's sarcastic voice.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming. You're here right before dinner time, and I don't know if there's enough food for today."

Qin Yunhe was also speechless.

He had never offended Feng, so why did he always speak in a sarcastic tone? He was quite restrained before he divorced Yuru, but since their divorce, he has become sarcastic and mean.

Qin Yunhe handed the things in his hand to Yuru and took out a piece of silver from his bosom: "Sister-in-law, I am not here to eat. Yuru and Lai Di are really bothering you by living here. Take this silver first, as food expenses for Yuru and Lai Di. If it is not enough, I will give more."

When Fan Zheng saw this, he angrily said, "Who wants your money? I can still support my own sister and niece..."

"Why don't you want it?" Feng took the silver without waiting for Fan Zheng to finish and said, "Why should we raise his daughter? Besides, Yu Ru has been married for four years, and one and a half of the two pairs of silver bracelets are gone! How much is this? Tsk!"

Speaking of the bracelet, Qin Yunhe was both in the wrong and innocent.

In his previous life, in the last few years of his life, he often thought about the mess he had made in those years and came up with many of his faults and debts, but he didn't know until his death that Yu Ru had exchanged her dowry bracelet for money.

If Feng hadn't mentioned it to him when he first met Yu Ru after his rebirth, he might never have known about it.

Mrs. Feng was a petty person to begin with. Now that Yu Ru had come back like this, with an incomplete dowry, she didn't know how much criticism and annoyance she would have to endure from her.

He thought he had fully understood how difficult it was for Yu Ru to be with him, but he didn't expect that Yu Ru had an even harder time than he knew.

Feng took the silver in her hand and weighed it, estimating it to be about one or two taels. She thought to herself that she didn't expect Qin Wen to be able to take out such a large amount of silver.

Feng took the silver and turned into the house, leaving Fan Zheng with a stiff face as he was interrupted before he could finish his tough words.

On this side, Qin Yunhe had been pulled by Fan Yuru to the west wing where she and Lai Di lived.

In a corner of the outer room after entering the door, the dowry that Yu Ru brought back was piled up, and in the front was a small screen that the two of them had used for several years.

"Let me see your hand." As soon as the two of them walked into the house, Yu Ru hurriedly reached out to hold Qin Yunhe's hand.

Qin Yunhe thought she wanted to see the scratches on her palms, so she spread out her hands and reached out.

After two days of hard work, his usually fair palms, especially those near his fingers, were worn out in large areas. The blisters formed and the skin stuck back to his palms, with a small amount of mucus oozing out from time to time.

When Yu Ru was taking something, she saw a lot of small cracks on his hands caused by frostbite and wanted to take a look. However, she didn't expect that when Qin Yunhe stretched out his hand, the palm of his hand was rubbed into a blur, which was horrible.

"Ah! How could this happen!" Fan Yuru held Qin Yunhe's hand, feeling distressed, her eyes suddenly reddened: "Your hands are for writing, you should study hard and focus on your studies, how can you do hard labor..."

It turned out that Yu Ru knew that he was going to do hard labor.

After so many years and two lifetimes, Qin Yunhe finally felt so excited and warm in his heart when Yu Ru held his hand and showed her care and concern for him.

Seeing that Qin Yunhe didn't respond, Yuru suddenly remembered that their quarrel and divorce started with the topic of studying for the imperial examination. Her heart felt blocked and her eyes became hot. She suddenly stopped and turned away, with her back to Qin Yunhe, feeling wronged and sad.

Then she remembered that they had already divorced, and she didn't even have the right to say anything about him. Finally, she couldn't hold back her tears any more and they kept falling.

Qin Yunhe was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked around to face Yu Ru.

Yu Ru lowered her head, and big tears flowed down to her chin, and fell with a plop, hitting Qin Yunhe's heart.

Qin Yunhe wanted to hug her but was afraid of being abrupt, so he stretched out his arms, at a loss: "I was the jerk before, I will listen to you in the future, I will never be angry with you again. I will study hard and concentrate on my studies. Yuru, don't cry, okay?"

Qin Yunhe finally mustered up the courage to empty Yuru's cage and continued:

"I just want to make some money quickly so that you and Lai Di can live a more comfortable life. After the New Year, I will sign up for the annual examination and I will definitely pass the exam. Then I will take you back, okay?"

But Yu Ru didn't expect that after hearing this, she leaned into Qin Yunhe's arms, tugged at his clothes and cried even harder: "But... wuwu... brother, don't let me go back..."

Hearing Yu Ru crying for this, Qin Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Yu Ru also couldn't bear to leave him.

So he hugged Yuru tightly and said, "This matter is originally my fault. It is reasonable for Big Brother to be angry. I will find a way. Please don't cry, okay?"
