Take off clothes
When Cao Lü saw her walking towards the Ghost Garden, she immediately stopped and dared not follow.
Why is she heading towards the Ghost Garden? Should I follow her? For my own safety, it's best not to.
Su Yuexing arrived outside Li Jinghe's room and knocked.
That person was the only one who could come to his place and knock on the door.
Li Jinghe was unaware that a smile had appeared on his face. "Come in."
Su Yuexing came in from outside and glanced around his room.
This action was interpreted differently by Li Jinghe, who asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Su Yuexing said, "Li Jinghe isn't here with you, is he?"
“He went out today,” he replied.
He felt uncomfortable when he heard her asking him about other men.
"You're here to see him?" Li Jinghe asked sullenly.
Su Yuexing shook her head and said, "No, I came to find you."
She walked towards Li Jinghe, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and handed it to him, saying, "Here you go."
Li Jinghe looked at the handkerchief in her hand and said, "It's for you."
Su Yuexing looked shocked and said, "No, this is not appropriate."
Li Jinghe frowned and asked, "What's the problem?"
Su Yuexing explained, "Of course there's a problem!"
“I’m a married woman. What kind of behavior is it to take someone else’s handkerchief like that?” She then placed the handkerchief on him.
"You came here just for this?" Li Jinghe asked.
Su Yuexing nodded and said, "Yes."
"Aren't you going to talk to Jinghe about something?" he asked.
Su Yuexing thought for a moment and replied, "There will be opportunities in the future." Then she went out.
After walking a few steps, she turned back and asked, "I have some flowers and plants in my yard that I can put in the room. Do you need them?"
Li Jinghe coldly refused, "No need."
Su Yuexing's eyes shifted slightly as she said, "Then can you ask him for me if he needs it?"
"He doesn't need it?" Li Jinghe refused without thinking, only realizing his mistake as soon as the words left his mouth.
Su Yuexing frowned, displeased, and said, "You didn't ask, how come you didn't know he didn't like it?"
Realizing he had misspoke, Li Jinghe promised, "I'll ask him for you when he gets back."
"Thank you," Su Yuexing said, turning and leaving.
At night, Xie Xuanye returned to Changshou Garden and saw Li Jinghe in the courtyard, seemingly waiting for him.
"What? Were you waiting for me on purpose?" Xie Xuanye asked with a smile.
Li Jinghe asked, "You haven't been home these past few days. What have you been doing outside?"
Xie Xuanye said mysteriously, "It's a secret!"
“I don’t want to get involved in your affairs, but if you cause trouble for the Li family, I will consider whether to tell Uncle Xie about your whereabouts,” Li Jinghe said quietly.
Xie Xuanye immediately backed down and said, "Alright, alright! I'll tell you!"
"I've just met a few like-minded brothers outside." He patted Li Jinghe on the shoulder and said confidently, "But don't worry! You'll always be the best brother in my heart!"
Xie Xuanye yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to my room to sleep."
"Wait!" Li Jinghe called out.
Did he want to ask something else? Xie Xuanye had his back to him, his expression somewhat uneasy.
"Do you like flowers and plants?" Li Jinghe asked.
"Huh?" Xie Xuanye felt a little confused.
Li Jinghe said, "It's alright, I understand."
Xie Xuanye scratched his head and said, "Why does he seem so strange today?"
The next day, Dongyang came to Xinning Garden and reported, "The eldest young master sent me to bring a few pots of flowers and plants."
Su Yuexing placed two potted plants in his hands and said, "One is a hoya and the other is an asparagus fern. Just water them from time to time."
“Yes, young mistress,” Dongyang replied.
After Dongyang left, Caolu, who was hiding in the shadows, reported everything to Li Wanxi.
"You mean, Jinghe asked that wild girl for flowers and plants to grow?" Li Wanxi asked.
“Yes, Miss!” Grass Green nodded.
Li Wanxi wondered why he would suddenly ask that wild girl for flowers and plants.
“Didn’t you tell me yesterday that you saw her go into that haunted house?” she asked.
Grass Green nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Go check out that ghost garden tonight and see if there's any secret passage," Li Wanxi instructed.
Grass Green stared wide-eyed in shock, her expression filled with fear as she exclaimed, "Miss! Me?"
Li Wanxi said unhappily, "What? If it wasn't you, then was it me?"
Grass Green lowered her head helplessly and said, "Yes, Miss."
Li Jinghe! Su Yuexing! You've ruined my son, I'll make sure you suffer!
Li Jinghe looked at the two potted plants on the table, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. "Dongyang, bring the medicine up."
Upon hearing this, Dongyang went down and did as instructed. Li Jinghe took the medicine and, as usual, drank it all in one gulp.
Then he took out the honey coins from his pocket and put them in his mouth.
Dongyang was overjoyed. As expected, the master's plan to bring good luck through marriage worked well, and the young master was now willingly taking the medicine.
Previously, I was the one who brought the medicine to the young master. However, the young master would not drink it immediately after receiving it, but would wait for a while before he would be willing to pick it up and drink it.
Moreover, the young master's smile was much more frequent than usual.
At night, Su Yuexing was lying in bed when she heard a noise. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a man by the window.
The window, which was originally closed, was open; he probably climbed in through the window.
She turned pale with fright, got off the bed and took a closer look, "Li Jinghe!" she exclaimed in surprise.
His clothes were stained with blood. She patted his face with trembling hands and said, "Wake up."
Xie Xuanye didn't react at all. Su Yuexing touched his hand. "Why is it so cold?"
No! We have to call the doctor right away.
She paused as she opened the door, which would make the whole place known.
The fact that he was injured in the middle of the night must mean he had some unspeakable secret.
Su Yuexing carried him on her back and walked towards a certain place.
Grass Green timidly approached Ghost Garden, saying, "I'm a good person! I haven't done anything harmful or immoral!"
"Don't look for me."
"Please, everyone, make way for me! Once I've investigated what the young lady asked me to do, I'll definitely come back to burn paper money for you."
Cao Lu opened the door, but slipped and fell behind the weeds because she wasn't paying attention.
"Ouch! My butt." She rubbed it painfully.
Seeing the shadow that suddenly appeared on the wall, she was so frightened that she dared not make a sound and desperately covered her mouth.
Su Yuexing paused, looked around, and thought there might have been a sound just now.
She listened carefully, wondering if she had just imagined it, and continued walking forward.
After the shadow disappeared, Grass Green quickly got up from the ground, ignoring the pain in her body, and immediately ran outside.
Halfway there, she realized something was wrong. "Wait! Ghosts don't have shadows!"
"So that means that person was a person!" She immediately chased after him again.
Su Yuexing carried Xie Xuanye on her back, her forehead covered in a thick layer of sweat.
She had done some manual labor herself, which enabled her to carry him on her back; an ordinary woman might not have been able to do that.
Grass Green followed her all the way and saw that she had another man on her back. "Hmph! I've caught you red-handed."
"I'll tell Miss right now and have her treat you!" Grass Green walked back.
Su Yuexing kicked the door open, shouting, "Xie Xuanye, get up now! Something terrible has happened!"
The room was dark, but Li Jinghe could see that Su Yuexing was carrying a man in.
Su Yuexing lit the candles in the room and saw the flowers and plants on the table. "Aren't these the ones I gave to Young Master Li?"
How did they suddenly appear here?
But the situation is urgent right now, and this is not the time to ask these questions.
Seeing Xie Xuanye's pale face on the ground, Li Jinghe frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The gates of the Li residence were being pounded on by officials shouting, "Open the gate! Open the gate!"
The steward of the Li family went to open the door and, seeing the constables from the yamen, asked, "What business do you have, gentlemen?"
The head constable, Tang, explained, "Our yamen is currently arresting a criminal."
"During the pursuit, we saw him run into the Li residence, so we came to search the Li residence."
Butler Li looked at them in surprise and said, "Search?"
Officer Tang clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "I apologize for my offense."
"Search!" At his command, the constables behind him began to move.
Butler Li had no time to stop them and immediately went to report to Li Wanxi.
Meanwhile, Li Wanxi received a message from Cao Lv.
"She brought a man with her!" Li Wanxi exclaimed excitedly.
Upon hearing the news from the housekeeper, she secretly felt pleased; the group had arrived just in time.
Tonight I'll ruin their reputations!
Li Wanxi walked into the hall and said to Constable Zhou with a smile, "Don't bother your brothers to search here."
"I know where they are!"
Officer Tang asked suspiciously, "Do you know where they are?"
Butler Li looked at her with surprise. What was Miss doing?
"Come with me, sir," Li Wanxi said with a smile.
Although Officer Tang suspected her, he still led his men to follow her.
Su Yuexing recounted what had just happened in the room to Li Jinghe, saying, "That's how it happened."
"What should we do now?" she asked.
Li Jinghe frowned as he looked at Xie Xuanye on the ground. "He's really the kind of guy who'll cause me trouble."
"Young master! People from the yamen are coming this way." Dongyang walked in and was dumbfounded by the scene inside the room.
Li Jinghe looked worried; why were there still government officials around?
"Dongyang, go outside and keep watch, try to delay them from entering the room," he instructed.
"Yes!" Dongyang accepted the order and went to carry it out.
“Move him to the bed,” he ordered.
“Okay.” Su Yuexing did as he was told, placing him next to Li Jinghe. “Move him a little further in,” he said.
After settling everything down, Su Yuexing realized her predicament. If others found out that she, as Li Jinghe's wife, was in another man's room, wouldn't she be...
Su Yuexing hurriedly tried to open the door, but heard many footsteps outside, as well as the sound of arguing with Dongyang.
She paused, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take off your clothes!"
Su Yuexing turned around in surprise, "What do you want me to do?"
Li Jinghe said, "Quickly take off your clothes and sit on me."
Su Yuexing blushed slightly, "I never imagined you were this kind of person!"
Li Jinghe didn't have time to explain to her; people outside could burst in at any moment.
He had no choice but to threaten, "If you don't take it off, then wait for the people outside to take him away, and then the entire Li family will be implicated!"
