After returning from the courtyard, Ye Congwen dreamed that night about the first time he met his late wife. It was really bloody. The first time he saw her, she was also wearing a pink and white dress. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, which was the best time of her life.
He was just thinking that there really were people in the world who had such similar expressions and temperaments.
If he had not witnessed Shu'er's birth with his own eyes, he would have suspected that he had adopted the wrong daughter.
But it was true that Ye Shu was the daughter of him and his deceased wife, but she looked more like him.
Ye Congwen is in his forties. He has never remarried since his wife passed away. For more than ten years, he has been celibate and has not thought about love affairs.
But when he saw Yanzhi today, a string in his heart seemed to be plucked again, causing ripples that took a long time to calm down.
…
Luo Ming was given an extremely difficult task by Ye Congwen. He said that before he took this step, he would never see Yanzhi again unless he took action.
So, Luo Ming took the initiative to find Ye Shu.
Ye Shu had not been in good health since she came back from the temple, and had been recuperating from her illness. After two months, she had recovered her strength, but after this ordeal, she had become much more docile and restrained.
Perhaps because she was tortured so badly by the nightmare, she lost her temper less frequently in recent days, but she always had a gloomy expression on her face.
Ru Xing and Ru Yue were serving her very carefully, not daring to breathe, for fear of offending her and letting her vent her long-accumulated resentment on themselves.
Ye Shu was drinking freshly stewed bird's nest that day when the little maid came in and reported that the son-in-law was coming.
This is strange. Since the two got married, they have been like strangers. Sometimes when they meet, they are like enemies, arguing with each other and wishing to anger each other to death with words.
Perhaps the days of recuperation in the room were too boring, so Ye Shu asked someone to call him in.
It was still snowing outside, and Luo Ming walked in wearing a white cloak with some edelweiss on it.
He took off his cloak and shook off the snowflakes on it. At that moment, Ye Shu actually felt a sense of pleasure looking at him.
Luo Ming is a handsome man after all, but in Ye Shu's heart, he is not as stunning as Xiao Hechuan.
At that moment she was thinking that if his words were not so offensive, they were actually quite pleasing to the eye.
"What a rare guest! It's been so long since I came back from the temple, but this is the first time that you, my husband, have appeared in front of me. If you don't know, you might think that my Ye family is not recruiting a son-in-law, but a retainer!"
What she meant was that Luo Ming ate and drank from the Ye family, but he did not behave like a husband and did not fulfill his responsibilities as a husband.
Look, today Luo Ming is ready to fulfill his duties as a husband.
He asked Ruxing and Ruyue to leave and close the door, while he stayed in the room alone with Ye Shu.
Looking at his abnormal behavior, Ye Shu had to show a defensive attitude. This guy was really suspicious today. He didn't even talk back to her, and was so calm and peaceful, and even stayed alone with her.
What does he want to do?
"What do you want to do? Just talk if you want to. Why ask Ruxing and Ruyue to go out? There is nothing to talk about between us."
She was a little flustered and inconsistent.
What she was actually thinking was, would he hit her? Since she couldn't resist, would she just be beaten?
In the end, Luo Ming still didn't say a word, but moved a round stool and sat next to her. Ye Shu kept looking at him warily.
Luo Ming was a little helpless, but thinking of Yanzhi, he decided to discuss it with Ye Shu.
"Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you. I came here today to tell you something."
He actually wanted to discuss that matter with Ye Shu.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Ye Shu wanted to see what tricks he was up to.
This kind of thing was still very embarrassing. Luo Ming's face began to turn red unconsciously. He found it a little difficult to say, but he still had to say it. After all, using force was not his style.
"Your father asked us to consummate the marriage as soon as possible and give birth to a legitimate son so that the Ye family can have successors."
After hearing this, Ye Shu was stunned for a moment, and then she started to mock as if she had heard a joke:
"Do you know what you are saying? Don't think too much. We are just playing around. You still expect to consummate the marriage with me and give birth to a legitimate child. Do you think you are worthy of it?"
Ye Shu acted as if she were swan meat. She looked down on Luo Ming without even considering her own character.
When Luo Ming heard her say this, he felt a little nauseous for some reason.
You really think you are such a popular person, and you talk as if you are willing to do it, but you are just being forced into it.
"This is what your father asked me to do. I had no choice but to do it. If it weren't for..."
Luo Ming was so excited that he almost said Yanzhi's name.
Fortunately, he stopped in time and didn't continue talking, but Ye Shu grasped the key point.
"for what?"
She squinted her eyes, as if she really wanted to know the answer.
Luo Ming stood up directly with a panicked look. He knew that Ye Shu must not know about Yanzhi's existence. Otherwise, with her bad temper, she would definitely cause trouble for her.
Although she doesn't like me and doesn't take me seriously, to the outside world they are still husband and wife. Even if it's just in name only, someone like her can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes.
He guessed correctly, Ye Shu was indeed such a person, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, they were difficult to eradicate.
"Forget it. Think about it carefully. I am just conveying your father's meaning. I am respecting you. Please speak kindly and don't always act like I am your mortal enemy."
Luo Ming looked a little unnatural. He stood up, picked up the cloak he had put aside and went out.
The entire conversation took less than a cup of tea.
Ru Xing Ru Yue saw that he left so quickly, but there was no noisy sound coming from inside, which was a bit strange.
This time they parted so peacefully?
The two of them returned to the room. Ye Shu was frowning and thinking about something. After a long while, she said:
"You two go and find out what Luo Ming and my father did during the months I was away from home. Is there anything unusual? Report it to me in detail after you find out, but don't alert the enemy. Go quietly and ask. If you need money, just take it from me."
She was really too curious, and Luo Ming's expression just now told her that he must be up to something.
And she was becoming more and more confused about her father.
It seemed that in his heart, fame, fortune, honor, and Baiyun Academy were much more important than his daughter.
Ru Xing and Ru Yue looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
This time it was normal. He knew that it would cost money to get information, so he didn't make things difficult for the two of them.
