Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

"It was my cousin's wife! Ah Yun's brain is rotten and her eyesight is poor; she didn't recognize me at all," Chu Yun said, blaming herself.

This is not Chu Yun's fault.

The Xie family was a large and influential family with numerous branches and countless descendants.

Gu Huiyan is the wife of Xie Yu, a member of a collateral branch of the Xie family. Xie Yu and Minister Xie are only related by blood, but not closely. They moved to Jiangnan to settle down years ago, which made their relationship even more distant.

When Xie Yu's parents died unexpectedly, they traveled all the way north to seek help at the Xie family mansion. Minister Xie, seeing Xie Yu's plight, felt sorry for him and gave him a lot of money to help him. He also arranged for Xie Yu to study at the academy.

Xie Yu lived up to expectations, excelling in his studies and passing the imperial examinations with great success. At a young age, he became a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), and many people wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, while Madam Xie was looking for a wife for Xie Yu, this cousin-in-law came to the Xie residence.

She was the daughter of the wealthy Gu family in Jiangnan, and was engaged to Xie Yu, waiting to marry him after she came of age.

However, due to a sudden change in Xie Yu's family, the Gu family refused to acknowledge the marriage agreement and even expelled Xie Yu from the Gu residence. The marriage agreement was unilaterally nullified by the Gu family.

When Gu Huiyan first arrived, her clothes were dirty, her face was ashen, and she was incredibly thin.

At that time, the original owner, who was still young, saw Gu Huiyan and, feeling sorry for her, had her brought into the Xie residence.

After some questioning, it was learned that the Gu family had also suffered a misfortune back then. Gu Huiyan's uncle took advantage of Gu's father's serious illness to drive away Xie Yu, who had come to seek refuge, and verbally humiliated him.

Gu Huiyan was too young and an only child. After her father's death, her uncle seized the family business and mistreated her every day, often beating and scolding her.

Gu Huiyan endured all of this, but her heartless uncle still wanted to marry her off to an old man who was half-buried in the ground as his second wife, so she had no choice but to run away with her maid.

She had come to the capital to stay with her uncle's family, but no one wanted to support someone for nothing. Her uncle insisted that he did not know who she was and ordered the servants to throw her out.

Her uncle, seeing Xie Yu's success, tried to curry favor with him, but Xie Yu refused to see him, and he held a grudge against him ever since.

As she was shooing Gu Huiyan away, she said, "Your fiancé is rich and powerful now, and instead of going to him, you come here to cause me trouble. You two are truly ungrateful wretches."

Gu Huiyan only then learned that Xie Yu had come to the capital. After inquiring, she discovered that he had joined the Xie family.

Left with no other choice, Gu Huiyan went to find Xie Yu.

Xie Yu originally disliked her, but after hearing that there were other hidden details about what happened back then, he realized that Gu Huiyan couldn't really be blamed.

Xie Yu was an upright and honorable man, so he insisted on marrying Gu Huiyan to fulfill the marriage agreement made years ago.

Not long after, he was transferred to a post outside the capital and left the capital with Gu Huiyan.

Six or seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xie Yu would send New Year's gifts and festival gifts every year, never forgetting the kindness the Xie family had shown him. Old Madam Xie also often thought of him.

Gu Huiyan has been doing well these past few years, and she is nowhere near as poor and frail as she used to be. It's normal that Chu Yun doesn't recognize her.

“I already said I don’t blame you. If you keep blaming yourself, I’ll be sad. If you hadn’t brought me back to the Xie family back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” Gu Huiyan said.

Once they recognized each other, Chu Yun, Hui Yan, and Shu Ya started talking together.

Before long, Shuyue arrived and said to Huiyan, "Sister-in-law, Baojie'er has woken up and is making a fuss about seeing you."

Huiyan quickly got up, wanting to take care of her daughter.

Madam Xie stopped her, saying, "Huiyan, don't rush off. Have someone bring Baojie here so we can play with her together; it'll be fun."

Everyone agreed.

Huiyan then asked someone to bring the child over.

Baojie was born very well. When she was about one year old, she was as round as a snowball. She was held in the arms of her wet nurse and was not afraid of people. When she saw people, she would giggle.

Madam Xie was overjoyed and held the bag tightly in her arms, refusing to let go. Everyone else gathered around as well.

Baojie kept asking to be held by this person and that person, but her biological mother, Huiyan, didn't touch her hand; she just watched her play with a smile.

Such a lovely child was loved by all the wives and girls. They would casually take out the jade bracelets they had and give them to Baojie. After going around the circle, Baojie's wrists were full of bracelets, jade, gold, silver, and all kinds.

After playing around for a while, Baojie started calling for her mother, tilting her head back high and reaching out to Gu Huiyan.

Gu Huiyan smiled and picked her up, pulling her into her arms. Before she could even warm up, Baojie suddenly looked at Chu Yun, her little body straining towards Chu Yun, her arms outstretched, clearly wanting Chu Yun to hold her.

Chu Yun smiled and took her.

The baby was so soft and round, like a cloud, that Chu Yun didn't dare to use any force, for fear of hurting her.

Baojie'er's small, lotus-root-like hands clung to Chu Yun's neck, her two little feet resting on Chu Yun's legs as she stood shakily. Chu Yun placed her hands under Baojie'er's armpits to support her and prevent her from falling.

The child's clear, innocent eyes stared intently at Chu Yun, and he grinned.

Gu Huiyan was afraid that Baojie would cause trouble for Chuyun, so she wanted to take her back, but Baojie refused and clung to Chuyun.

“Sister A-Yun, Bao-jie is young and likes beautiful people and things. With your character, she won’t be able to take her eyes off you. Please don’t blame her,” Gu Huiyan said.

As they were talking, perhaps to verify that what her mother said was true, Baojie gave Chuyun a quick kiss.

A burst of laughter came from inside the room.

Chu Yun blushed and said, "It's alright. I'm overjoyed that Baojie likes me. How could I blame her?"

As they were talking, Brother Xie and his group entered the hall.

The group first greeted Madam Xie, and then greeted the others one by one.

"Grandma, the meal has been set out in the front hall. Please come and have your meal," said Brother Xie.

Madam Xie: "Alright, alright, no rush, have a cup of tea first."

As soon as Wang Jianzhi entered, he was looking for Chu Yun.

I looked around, but I didn't see her.

Shuyue moved to his side and whispered, "Brother-in-law, are you looking for my sister?"

Wang Jianzhi bent down to look at her, "That's right, Shuyue, do you know where your older sister is?"

Shuyue smiled and pointed in one direction, "Look, my sister is over there."

Following Shuyue's gaze, Wang Jianzhi indeed saw Chu Yun. Just now, her face had been completely obscured by Baojie, and Wang Jianzhi assumed she was a relative of the Xie family and dared not look too closely, thus failing to recognize Chu Yun.

At this moment, Baojie seemed to have tired of playing and nestled in Chuyun's arms, playing with her hand, which revealed Chuyun's face.

Wang Jianzhi was slightly taken aback when he saw the smile on Chu Yun's face.

Unlike her usual light laugh with her lips covered, Chu Yun's smile was radiant at this moment, with smiles in her eyes and brows, gentle as water.

Shuyue: "Brother-in-law, why are you still staring blankly? Come with me."

She led Wang Jianzhi to Chu Yun's side.

"You've arrived," Chu Yun said with a smile.

Wang Jianzhi nodded.

It's true that Baojie loves to dress up.

Upon seeing Wang Jianzhi, who was as beautiful as jade, she quickly abandoned Chu Yun and began to call out to him in a soft, incoherent voice.

Wang Jianzhi was at a loss and was stunned.

Chu Yun chuckled, slowly stood up, and pushed Bao Jie'er forward a little.

"What are you standing there for? Catch her!" Chu Yun said.

Wang Jianzhi, still dazed, took Baojie'er. Before he could even ask about her identity, Baojie'er did the same thing to him, kissing his cheek as she had kissed Chu Yun.

Wang Jianzhi was completely stunned.
