Chapter 61 Wei Yin has been recovering from a cold these past two days…
Wei Yin has been recovering from a cold for the past two days and has rarely gone out. Lu Hun would come over every day when she needed to take her medicine. This young man was used to being taciturn, so he didn't say much when he came. He would silently bring a bowl of medicine to her lips and wait quietly for her to finish drinking it.
Occasionally, the boy would glance at the silver hairpin in her hair.
Seeing that she was still wearing it, he pursed his lips slightly, put down the medicine bowl, and turned to leave.
Wei Yin held the medicine bowl, gazing longingly at his suddenly appearing and disappearing figure, and touched the silver hairpin.
The boy had deep thoughts.
But then again, it's obvious.
When he came again that evening, Wei Yin deliberately put the hairpin away first. As soon as Lu Hun arrived, he noticed it. He pursed his lips and remained silent, still serving her medicine as usual, but his gaze often lingered on her hair for a moment with a gloomy look.
But Lu Hun didn't say anything until he was about to leave.
Later, Wei Yin put down the medicine bowl, took the hairpin from under her pillow, and, smiling, held it up to his eyes, saying, "I was wondering why you kept looking at my hair today. It turns out you forgot to wear this locust flower hairpin. Please put it on for me."
Lu Hun saw the mocking smile in Wei Yin's eyes.
He realized she was teasing him on purpose.
Her face immediately flushed red.
He suppressed his embarrassment, tremblingly took the hairpin, leaned over, and put it back on her head.
Then, before Wei Yin could say anything more, he lowered his head, got up, and left.
Wei Yin couldn't stop laughing as he watched.
Just then, Madam He, who never came to her room, arrived.
Wei Yin and she didn't get along, so she didn't know why Wei Yin had come tonight. Madam He was different from usual tonight, and was unusually kind and gentle to her.
"I heard from Xuanhua that you've been sick these past two days, but thankfully you haven't lost much weight."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yin did not respond.
Madam He showed no impatience, but instead sat down in the chair at the head of the table and suddenly asked, "Wei Yin, I heard that you have a cousin who has been staying at the mansion these past few days?"
"Yes." Wei Yin didn't understand why she suddenly asked about Lu Hun.
Mrs. He then asked, "How old is your cousin?"
Wei Yin thought for a moment, "Sixteen."
Madam He asked, "What does he look like?"
Wei Yin frowned, no longer answering, but instead asking, "Why did Mother ask about this?"
"Oh." Madam He realized that her question was abrupt, so she immediately stopped and said calmly, "I was thinking of a lady's daughter who is about the same age as your cousin. Perhaps they could become a couple."
Wei Yin never expected that Madam He would have the time to worry about her cousin; she had always been too lazy to pay attention to Wei Yin.
Seeing this, Madam He could only wave her hand and say, "I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything by it. You rest, I'm going back."
Wei Yin was completely baffled by her.
After leaving Wei Yin's place, Madam He quickly went to the courtyard where Lu Hun was staying, but the servants outside said that Lu Hun had gone to bed as soon as he returned, so she had no choice but to give up the idea.
The servant added, "Madam is afraid she will have difficulty seeing the young master. He is very aloof and rarely sees people."
Madam He's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Her Lu Hun was just that kind of person.
Madam He can still recall how quiet and reserved the child was, with his eyes downcast and seemingly devoid of emotion.
Could it be that Wei Yin's cousin is really...?
How is that possible?
He was clearly dead, and she saw it with her own eyes.
It couldn't possibly be him.
Perhaps he resembles him in some ways. Besides, if it were truly him, he would naturally not want to come to the He family and see his biological mother.
Madam He shook her head to herself, but when she looked up at the courtyard, her heart kept beating uncontrollably.
That day, Lu Hun happened to be in Wei Yin's room when Chen Xuanhua hurriedly came in from outside. Just as Wei Yin was about to ask her something, Chen Xuanhua shook her head and said, "Sister, I have something to tell you."
Wei Yin was stunned. "What is it?"
Chen Xuanhua nervously glanced at the door, then at Lu Hun.
Wei Yin told the maid outside to close the door, saying, "It's alright, he can listen, there's no need to hide it from him."
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuanhua said, "Sister, it's like this. Today, I was in my husband's study organizing documents for him when I found this letter. It was hidden in a vase, but the vase tipped over, and that's when I discovered it."
Wei Yin took it, glanced at it, and her expression changed.
Chen Xuanhua said apologetically, "I saw some of it by chance and only then did I realize that it was my sister who wrote to your father, wanting to divorce her husband."
Needless to say, it was He Wenqing who retrieved and hid the letter she had written to Wei's father.
Chen Xuanhua asked worriedly, "Sister, do you really want to divorce your husband? After all, you've been married for many years..."
Wei Yin remained silent.
Chen Xuanhua dared not say anything more, handed over the letter, and hurriedly left.
Looking at the letter in her hand, Wei Yin had a bad feeling. "He Wenqing hid the letter I wrote to my father. He clearly doesn't want to divorce me. Huangzhou is his territory. I can't tell my father..."
Lu Hun stood behind her, took the letter from her hand, and said softly, "Sister Wei, don't worry. He can stop others from delivering the letter, but he can't stop Elder Pei. I will deliver the letter to Elder Pei's residence for you later. He and Senior Wenxuan are brothers, and he will then forward it to the capital. Lord He can't do anything about it."
"Your injury?"
Lu Hun shook his head, "I'm much better these days, it's nothing serious."
After delivering the letter to Wei Yin, Chen Xuanhua immediately returned to He Wenqing's study, feigning composure, to continue tidying up.
But He Wenqing was in the study at that moment. When he saw Chen Xuanhua, he asked, "Didn't the maid say you were tidying up in my study? Where did you go?"
Chen Xuanhua wasn't good at lying, but in order to avoid being discovered by He Wenqing, she braced herself and said, "I suddenly felt a little dizzy... so I went back to my room to rest for a while."
He Wenqing hummed in agreement. "There are people tidying up the study. If you're not feeling well, you should go back and rest."
Chen Xuanhua nodded mischievously.
He Wenqing suddenly remembered something and said, "I was drunk and confused that night and scared you. Don't worry about it."
Chen Xuanhua instantly realized what he meant, her face turning pale and then red. She still trembled all over when she thought about it, and coupled with her guilty conscience, she really felt a little unwell. She walked away, holding her forehead.
He Wenqing watched her leave, and only after her figure had completely disappeared from the study did he pick up the bottle next to him and take a look.
There was no letter left in the bottle.
However, He Wenqing was not surprised; on the contrary, he seemed to have expected it and put the bottle back in its original place.
He knew that Chen Xuanhua would often come to his study to tidy up for him.
Upon seeing the tilted bottle, one naturally has to take a look.
He gave a cold, smirking smile.
At this moment, the attendant who had gone to retrieve the letter earlier came in again and reported to He Wenqing: "Sir, after returning from the young mistress's place, the young master left the manor again very soon."
He Wenqing coldly ordered, "Follow him from a distance."
Lu Hun personally went to Elder Pei's place to deliver the letter, which wouldn't take too long; he would be back in half a day at most. However, Wei Yin felt inexplicably uneasy.
It looks like something terrible is about to happen.
It was less than half an hour after Lu Hun left.
He Wenqing arrived. After not seeing him for many days, he appeared much colder and more stern than before. He was followed by many servants. As soon as he arrived, he told the maids at Wei Yin's door to go down and serve her, while he walked straight toward Wei Yin.
Wei Yin felt that something was off about him today.
I instinctively took a step back.
He Wenqing didn't press her, but just stared at her intently for a while.
Wei Yin avoided his gaze. "He Wenqing, what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry," He Wenqing said with a forced smile. "You're my wife, what could I possibly do to you?"
The two were standing close together, and his cold laugh reached Wei Yin, giving her goosebumps all over.
“But I, He Wenqing, will never tolerate anyone coveting my wife and becoming my cuckold, especially since that person is a ghost.” After saying half a sentence, He Wenqing kicked the table next to her hard. The table wasn’t heavy, and he easily overturned it.
Wei Yin opened her eyes wide.
Due to the accident, her eyelashes began to tremble violently.
Seeing Wei Yin's expression, He Wenqing's smile grew even colder. He deliberately moved closer, almost touching Wei Yin's neck as he laughed.
It almost made Wei Yin feel stiff and cold all over.
He Wenqing instructed the servants he had brought with him: "Keep a close eye on the madam. If she steps out of her room, you will be held responsible."
All of them agreed and quickly surrounded the entire courtyard.
He Wenqing and Wei Yin have completely fallen out as husband and wife, and have torn off all pretense of civility.
There is little affection left.
He Wenqing made no attempt to hide his coldness. He chuckled in Wei Yin's ear, "My lady, you can just wait at home and wait for me to take that shameless devil back to you, so you can see him every day, hmm?"
Wei Yin sat down blankly.
He Wenqing turned around and left with his men.
Wei Yin suddenly stood up again.
He Wenqing has learned that Lu Hun is not human, and he wants Lu Hun dead!
But just as she managed to steady herself against the door, she was stopped by the guards left behind by He Wenqing.
Chen Xuan was startled again by the scene. She tried to step forward but was stopped. She said angrily, "What? Can't I even go see my sister?"
The other party replied sternly, "The master said that no one, including Madam Xuanhua, is allowed to approach the lady in her room."
Unable to enter, Chen Xuanhua spoke to Wei Yin through the crowd, "Sister, I saw my husband leave the mansion with many monks and sorcerers. These people are all highly skilled individuals from the desolate state and its surrounding areas. My husband has never believed in ghosts or gods. What is he trying to do? Where is he going, sister?"
Wei Yin listened to Chen Xuanhua's words, stared blankly at everything in front of her, and pressed her temples.
How could she forget?
He Wenqing is a self-centered and proud man who is extremely concerned about his image. In the past, when she believed in ghosts and gods, he always felt that she was being improper and losing face as a proper woman.
He would never tolerate his wife being intimate with other men...
Thinking of He Wenqing's ruthless and cold expression before he left, and his chilling laughter, her face turned deathly pale.
He consulted so many experts, which clearly indicates that he had been prepared for this for a long time.
as if……
They were just waiting for Lu Hun to leave the mansion alone.
He wants it.
On the way to Elder Pei's place, Lu Hun was killed!
Wei Yin's hands trembled with nervousness, her heart pounding with fear.
Lu Hun...
Lu Hun was unaware that He Wenqing already knew he was a ghost, nor did he know He Wenqing's plans. He was completely unprepared...
