Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Sudden Accident

The argument escalated quickly. Yunyi craned her neck to watch the situation develop. What would happen next? she wondered.

The mother and daughter from their compartment also got down from their bunks. The woman said, "Didn’t I tell you? What good ever comes from sleeping on the lower bunk? Look at this! If you had been on the lower bunk and this happened, wouldn’t you be utterly disgusted?"

The girl rolled her eyes at her. "If you don’t want me to go back and tattle, then cut out your scheming and don’t think everyone else is a fool."

Just then, as the argument in the next compartment grew heated, a conflict erupted. The onlookers quickly retreated. The girl, who had her head turned while talking, didn’t see it coming. She lost her footing and nearly fell.

By the time she frantically grabbed the nearby handrail to steady herself, she realized it was Yunyi who had reached out to help her. Without that steadying hand, she probably would have been pushed over by the crowd before she could grab the handrail.

She smiled gratefully at Yunyi. "Thank you."

Yunyi simply nodded at her. "It was nothing."

Before long, the mother and son were taken away by the train police for a lesson. The carriage filled with voices condemning them.

Later, a train attendant came to clean up. They replaced the bed linens and quilts for the affected bunks, and peace was restored to the compartment.

However, the peace didn’t last long; the mother and son who had been taken for their lesson returned.

In front of the train police, the boy hadn’t dared to act out. But as soon as he was back in the carriage, he revealed his true colors.

It wasn’t clear whether the lesson had been too harsh or if he had actually felt some shame, but he started making a fuss, refusing to go to his own bunk and demanding to sleep in a lower one.

But after the previous commotion, he had already offended the passengers in both lower bunks. The woman, unable to control her son, had no choice but to try and swap bunks with other passengers.

However, the people in the berths on the other side of their compartment flatly refused her. Seeing her son still kicking up a fuss, she had to shamelessly approach Yunyi’s group.
