Wei Cheng's maid went to get breakfast, but was stopped by several guards at the door.
"The master said that until the matter is investigated, please do not leave this courtyard."
She opened her mouth slightly as if to say something, but Wei Cheng called her back.
She was combing Qi Yuan's hair when, somehow, the comb suddenly got stuck on his scalp, causing him to cry out in pain, "Wife, be gentle!"
Wei Cheng felt somewhat guilty, but he didn't lighten his grip much.
"Don't move! Your hair is tangled, let me comb it for you!"
Qi Yuan always listened to her, and today was no exception.
He sat obediently, letting Wei Cheng pluck out a dozen more strands of hair from behind him, her teeth clenched.
Wei Wei wanted to laugh.
But the thought of not even being able to leave the house made his lips droop again.
She could understand Wei Cheng's feelings at that moment.
I wish I could go up there myself and pull out some more hairs.
"If there's no breakfast, then we'll just have to go hungry."
After combing her hair, Wei Cheng tossed the comb aside: "Anyway, I can't eat anything, so I'll just treat it as a way to lose weight."
Wei Wei nodded in agreement, then looked at Qi Yuan, who had been sitting obediently.
"We can go hungry, but we can't let Young Master Qi go hungry."
"Little Yue'er, let's put all the leftover pastries from yesterday in front of Young Master Qi, so he can eat them with some cold tea and feel a little wronged."
The pastries left overnight were hard and tasted like chewing wax, not to mention the cold tea.
But the situation is urgent now, and there's nothing we can do about it.
"If Young Master Qi throws a tantrum and refuses to eat, you should coax him and not let him go hungry."
Little Moon readily agreed.
Wei Wei pulled Wei Cheng towards her room.
A hot meal had already been prepared in her room.
Wei Wei explained with a smile, "Brother Leng brought these. Please save some for Xiaoyue and your maid. We'll eat the rest."
Wei Cheng couldn't help but feel a little envious: "Where did you find that bodyguard next to you? He seems really capable!"
Wei Wei smiled and said, "It was just a coincidence. I helped his mother, and she came to help me."
She looked at her with a complicated expression: "Is it really that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple."
For the first time since last night, Wei Cheng's eyes showed a hint of a smile.
When I picked up the bowl and chopsticks, a bright glint of water flashed in my eyes.
Wei Wei lowered her head, pretending not to see.
The meal was quite enjoyable.
Wei Cheng was much better than she had imagined; she even had half a bowl of porridge added.
When they returned to the next room, Qi Yuan was sitting at the table with a worried expression.
The pastries in front of him remained untouched.
"Why aren't you eating?" Wei Cheng touched her slightly bulging stomach, her expression full of worry.
Qi Yuan said, "My wife, I can't eat."
Wei Cheng smiled: "Aren't you hungry?"
"How about we save it for lunch?"
How could he not be hungry? How could someone accustomed to fine clothes and sumptuous food possibly eat this?
Wei Wei suppressed a laugh and glanced at Xiao Yue'er: "You two go out and rest first. Let Qi Yuan have his wife try to persuade him."
Wei Cheng's maid hesitated for a moment and looked at Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng said, "Let's go rest first. There's no food right now, so we need to conserve our energy."
Xiao Yue'er also came to pull people away: "Let's go, let's go, our young lady isn't a bad person."
These words made Wei Wei lose her composure. She suppressed the urge to smile and said, "You're always being cheeky. Hurry up and get out of here."
The four mistresses and servants laughed and chatted, as if the events of the morning had not caused them any unease or fear.
Qi Yuan watched this scene and felt a surge of anger churning within him.
The person he shared a bed with was the one who filled him with boundless hatred!
He hadn't even made a move against her yet, and she had already set him up!
That's great! Excellent!
He couldn't feel at ease unless he pinned the blame for Shao Yu's death on those two people!
He wanted to watch these two people live in fear, and he wanted to keep them awake at night!
He needed to kill everyone in her Wei family before he could completely quell the rage in his heart!
He waited quietly for dawn to break.
When the monks cleaned up the entire temple, they would clean every corner and find the body covered with only a thin layer of soil.
Shaoyu and these two men surnamed Wei were entangled, and now that they have died in this temple, they can't escape their connection no matter what.
He felt he could wait patiently to hear the news of their imprisonment.
But the reality was not what he imagined at all.
Looking at the woman sitting in front of him talking to him, he didn't hear a word she said. Instead, he kept thinking about what went wrong.
Wei Cheng placed her hand in front of him and moved it slightly, then asked with a smile, "Why aren't you saying anything? Can you tell your wife what you're thinking about?"
Wife? The thought of her makes me want to vomit!
But she had to endure it.
She wanted to see who could hold out longer than him!
Qi Yuan snapped out of his daze and smiled, "What did you just say, my wife? I was just about to doze off by accident."
These words made Wei Wei, who had been sitting to the side, burst out laughing: "Young Master Qi, did you go out to steal last night? Why are you dozing off again as soon as you wake up?"
This sounded like a joke, but it still caused Qi Yuan's expression to change slightly.
This woman is much more difficult to deal with than Wei Cheng, who is by his side.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been a fool for so long!
Just thinking about that scene makes countless flames rise in my heart.
His face turned ugly, and he turned away, ignoring him.
Wei Wei walked over with a smile: "Wei Cheng, is your little husband angry? I was just joking."
Wei Cheng smiled and said, "He won't be angry."
After saying that, she reached out and tugged at his sleeve, as if to prove that what she said was true: "Young Madam Meng just gave you some pastries, you can't be an ingrate."
Qi Yuan was furious. Pastries? Something as hard as a rock?
Who else is an ingrate?
He was even more furious, and shoved away Wei Cheng's hand that was grabbing his sleeve, his voice full of spite: "Who wants to eat her stuff? I don't want to eat it!"
Wei Cheng's voice was somewhat helpless: "Husband, don't lose your temper."
Qi Yuan, however, maintained his angry expression: "I'm just throwing a tantrum, I'm not eating her food! Take it away! Take it away!"
Wei Cheng didn't give up, her hand still gripping his sleeve: "Mrs. Meng is my friend, can you give me some face?"
"Otherwise, I'll be sad."
Qi Yuan was very annoyed by the nagging. Hearing that she would be sad, he wished she would just die on the spot!
With that thought, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly turned around and swept everything on the table onto the floor.
