Chapter 726 Frequent Urination
Qin Cheng had just finished a fierce battle, and things weren't going smoothly for Lin Yuesha either. She had just beaten up Wei Lan, and even the surface peace was gone.
"Husband, why are you stopping me?"
Wei Lan sat in the carriage, sobbing. From childhood to adulthood, as the daughter of the Wei family, she had never been touched by anyone. Lin Yuesha was incredibly audacious, daring to order her maids to beat her up.
That's bad enough, you shouldn't hit someone in the face, but Lin Yuesha insisted on hitting her face, she must be jealous of her beauty.
Wei Lan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and immediately demanded that Bai Dingfeng return home. She wanted to go to the palace to see her sister, the Empress, and file a complaint with the Emperor. Then she would wait to see Lin Yuesha thrown into the imperial prison and tortured.
"My sister will definitely stand up for me."
Wei Lan clung to Bai Dingfeng and acted coquettishly. Before they left, her mother had told her that a woman should obey her husband after marriage, and since she was already a daughter-in-law of the Bai family, she had to listen to Bai Dingfeng.
"It's not that simple."
Bai Dingfeng held Wei Lan in his arms and said with heartache, "We have a mission on this trip. It would be too impractical to make a scene and go back to the capital like this."
It was just a minor squabble between women, nothing serious enough to warrant a trip back to the capital. Although Wei Lan's face was swollen like a pig's head, Lin Yuesha didn't go too far; it was just a bit unsightly, and the swelling subsided in a few days.
The injury isn't that serious, there's no need to make a big deal out of it.
Wei Lan's eyes widened. She had already been beaten, so why was Bai Dingfeng making such a fuss about it? Was being beaten not a big deal?
"I feel sorry for you, but we can fight back after we're far away from the capital."
Bai Dingfeng stroked Wei Lan's hair, his thoughts drifting to Li Ruoxue.
His selection as a son-in-law by the Wei family was not entirely innocent; perhaps it was all a scheme by the Wei family that he saved Wei Lan from drowning.
However, when she was with Li Ruoxue, all she could think about was him, how to treat him well, and how to obey him without question.
Although she had a bit of a spoiled princess temper, she endured it and was incredibly obedient.
"Husband, say something!"
Wei Lan noticed that Bai Dingfeng was distracted and urged him impatiently.
"Don't overthink it. When the time is right, I will avenge you."
His train of thought was interrupted, and Bai Dingfeng became quite impatient, giving a perfunctory reply.
If Li Ruoxue hadn't hanged herself, she probably wouldn't have lived much longer. However, her resolute departure left Bai Dingfeng with mixed feelings.
Perhaps, human nature is inherently base; we simply crave what we cannot have.
As he is now, on the first day of his trip, Wei Lan deliberately delayed him until dusk. He had no choice but to comply. In front of the Wei family, he was inferior and had to coax this powerful figure.
"You don't have any feelings for Lin Yuesha, do you?"
Wei Lan sat up suspiciously and asked in an interrogative tone, "I heard that when you were in Beidifu City, you often went to her house. Didn't you have any ulterior motives?"
Yes, it happened, but Bai Dingfeng wouldn't say.
"Back then, she was still a merchant. You Ran and she were on good terms. How could I possibly have any romantic feelings for her?"
Marriage is a major life event arranged by parents, and it's essential to find someone of equal social standing.
Bai Dingfeng couldn't dispel Wei Lan's doubts without a clear explanation, so he laughed and said, "Last year she was just a thirteen-year-old girl, how could she compare to you, my wife?"
As he spoke, he moved his hand, which was on Wei Lan's waist, up a few inches.
"My husband, you're so naughty."
After Wei Lan finished speaking, she turned around to face Bai Dingfeng. She was so moved that she forgot that she had been beaten up by Lin Yuesha. Her sudden turn of her head startled Bai Dingfeng, who was not prepared, and he broke out in a cold sweat, his body stiffening on the spot.
It was already pitch black, and a cold wind blew through the wilderness. A fire was lit not far from the carriage to keep warm.
Lin Yuesha lit a tinderbox, Jiang Baozhu carried a lantern, and several maids walked along the riverbank, searching for the silver hairpin that Wei Lan had thrown into the river.
This is a real headache for her.
A small river is constantly flowing; it's not much easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Miss, I'll find it myself. You and Miss Jiang should go back and rest."
Bai Cha felt bad because she hadn't protected the gift Hou Fen had given her, and she should bear the consequences herself; Miss had done so much for her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's strength in numbers."
林月纱咬牙切齿，只感觉揍卫兰一顿太轻，那是齐鲁娘亲的遗物，差不多算是他给白茶的定情信物，既然白茶都这么重视，她没道理不帮忙啊。
Perhaps in the near future, Lin Yuesha will have to call Bai Cha "sister-in-law".
"White tea, are you sure you threw it into the water?"
Jiang Baozhu squatted down, used the lantern to light the way, and confirmed with Bai Cha again.
"When Wei Lan threw the silver hairpin, I heard the sound of water splashing into it."
Because it was in the water, finding the silver hairpin became much more difficult.
Bai Cha was extremely anxious, but she couldn't show it and worry her young mistress. She held back her tears and groped around in the water with her hands.
"Don't worry, with Wei Lan's strength, she can't throw it too far. It's still easy to find in the surrounding area."
Jiang Baozhu comforted Bai Cha, and since no outsiders had come just now, she ruled out the possibility that the silver hairpin had been picked up.
Ideally, it would be best to search for it at dawn, but I'm afraid that after a few hours of washing, the silver hairpin might have been washed further away. To be on the safe side, I have no choice but to search for it in the dark.
The river water was icy cold at night. Lin Yuesha squatted on the ground, her skirt and shoes soaked in the water, and she shivered from the cold.
Despite Bai Cha and the maids' attempts to persuade her, Lin Yuesha remained unmoved.
After searching for an hour, just when the group was almost in despair, Qingxing finally brought good news.
"Miss, we've found it! It's Bai Cha's hairpin!"
The silver hairpin was still the same, but Wei Lan had used force to bend it slightly.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss Jiang..."
Bai Cha accepted the gift with both hands, almost bursting into tears of joy. She couldn't bear to wear her precious item, which she had lost and then found again.
“We’ll arrive in Cangzhou in a few days and stay for at least three to five days. We’ll find a jewelry shop then and ask an old craftsman to repair it for you.”
Lin Yuesha pulled Bai Cha along and discovered that the girl seemed to have run into deep water, and was completely soaked.
A cold wind blew, and Bai Cha shivered, but still showed a big smile.
The ordeal lasted until midnight, so much so that almost everyone caught a cold the next day when they set off.
Lin Yuesha sniffed as she nestled on the car seat, and said self-deprecatingly, "Sister Baozhu, if Wei Lan were to retaliate at this time, I would definitely be powerless to fight back."
"That's... Achoo!"
Jiang Baozhu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said in a hoarse voice, "I have already taken the pills made by Doctor Yan, and I feel much better now."
In the small compartment of the carriage, ginger and jujube tea was simmering on a small red clay stove. Lin Yuesha drank several bowls and felt chilled, so much so that she frequently needed to use the restroom.
The carriage traveled slowly, stopping frequently, and by dusk, it still hadn't entered the city.
Now Wei Lan was furious. Wearing a veil, she got off the carriage and started cursing, "Lin Yuesha, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
There's a limit to frequent and urgent urination. If I walk all day and then stop urinating more than ten times, could it be a sign of kidney deficiency or some other problem?
