Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The afterglow of dusk gently shines into the house, giving the entire space a faint golden glow.

Yi Ya slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the familiar and exquisite curtains above her head. The soft touch gradually brought her back to her senses, and she realized that she had returned safely to the capital, to this mansion full of memories and warmth.

"Bai Zhu, is it time?" Yi Ya's voice still contained a hint of laziness from just waking up. She tried to sit up, but felt a little powerless.

Bai Zhu, who was waiting outside the door, came in upon hearing the sound. Seeing Yi Ya was about to get up, he quickly stepped forward, bent over and gently helped her up, his movements skillfully and considerately.

"Fujin, you are awake. I will help you change your clothes right away."

With Bai Zhu's careful help, Yi Ya slowly put on her clothes, and every movement seemed so natural and tacit.

After getting dressed, she sat on the couch, looked at Bai Zhu with gentle eyes, and asked softly: "Bai Zhu, how are Bai Zhi and the others? They have worked hard on the journey, and they should have a good rest."

Bai Zhu smiled warmly upon hearing this and replied, "Don't worry, Fu Jin, Bai Zhi and the others are indeed tired and are still resting. If you need anything from Bai Zhi, I will call her over right away."

Yi Ya waved her hand quickly, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes: "No need, I just asked casually. Everyone has worked hard on this journey, let them rest for a few more days, no need to wake them up specially."

Bai Zhu nodded, and his heart had even more respect for Yi Ya's thoughtfulness and kindness. He then stood silently beside Yi Ya and accompanied her quietly.

Just then, there were slight footsteps outside the door. Nanny Wang pushed the door open and saw that Yi Ya had woken up. A relieved smile appeared on her face.

She seemed to remember something, and hurriedly stepped forward and said softly to Yi Ya, "Fujin, after you went to bed today, the Fourth Master came over."

When Yi Ya heard that Yinzhen had been here, her eyes lit up instantly and she asked anxiously, "Oh? Did he say anything?"

Nanny Wang smiled and replied, "The Fourth Master saw that you were resting, so he didn't disturb you. He just quietly went into the bedroom and looked at you for a while, then left. However, before he left, he specifically told you that he would come over tonight."

After hearing this, Yi Ya felt a warm current in her heart and nodded gently to show that she understood. "Madame Wang, then you just need to prepare for it. There's no need to be too ostentatious."

Nanny Wang responded with a "yes", secretly feeling moved by the delicate feelings between the couple, and then she stepped back to prepare to welcome Yinzhen's arrival.

The room regained its peace once again, with Yi Ya being the only one left sitting on the couch, her face filled with a hint of happiness and anticipation.

……

The dusk gradually faded, and the room was replaced by warm candlelight. Nanny Wang was busy shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room, making careful preparations for the upcoming dinner.

Bai Zhu stood beside Yi Ya, his eyes inadvertently falling on Yi Ya's beautiful and refined face. She was dressed simply when she just got up. Although not gorgeous, she had her own charm.

"Fujin, look at this..." Bai Shu said softly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Do you need me to redo your makeup? After all, the Fourth Master will be here tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ya smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a bit of indifference and composure.

"No need, Baishu." She shook her head gently, her voice soft but firm, "I'll have to take it off again when I rest at night, why bother? It's fine like this now, natural and comfortable."

After hearing this, Bai Zhu nodded in understanding, and admired Yi Ya's casualness and elegance even more.

She then thought of something else, so she continued, "By the way, Fu Jin, do you think you should send someone to check on little Prince Hong Hui? If he's well, we can have him come over in the evening so that the whole family can have a meal together, which will be lively and fun."

After hearing this, Yi Ya's eyes flashed with tenderness and expectation. "Good idea, Bai Shu."

She said softly, "You go and have a look. If he's ready, ask him to come over. It's been a while since we've been together as a family, and I want to hear about how his schoolwork is going."

Bai Zhu smiled knowingly upon hearing this, and quickly replied, "Yes, Madam. I will arrange it right away. Please rest here for a while, and I will come to invite you again when everything is ready."

After saying that, Bai Shu turned and left, walking briskly through the corridor towards Hong Shi's residence.

Yi Ya sat on the couch, looking out the window tenderly, her heart filled with longing for family reunion and happiness. She knew that no matter how chaotic the outside world was, as long as her family was together, it would be the warmest and most beautiful time.
