Nan Yi is an idiot, hopelessly so. While her husband is showing affection to others, she is still admiring the beauty on her own.
The two lovers from Qingyun, who were standing behind Nan Yi, wished they could rush up and slap her twice, spit on her, and stomp on her a few times the moment she appeared. But their master was lost in thought, sitting calmly on the fishing platform, and did not see the smug and defiant look in Nian's eyes.
It's unclear what Yinzhen said to Lady Nian, but Lady Nian glanced in this direction and followed Yinzhen out of the courtyard.
Seeing the two walk away, Nan Yi suddenly lost all her life force, closed her eyes and slumped against Qing Yun. Qing Yun quickly helped her up and took her back to her bedroom. After carefully covering her with a blanket, she went outside to the hall to wipe away her tears.
Nan Yi pretended not to know, staring blankly at the bottom of the tent. He said he didn't care, but what was he doing? She was just a woman named Nian. Even if she was gone, there were others. He suddenly made the maid beside him sad.
What Yinzhen saw was a pair of lifeless, cold eyes staring straight at the bed curtains. Her frail body was hidden under the covers, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, he wouldn't have felt any life at all. He vaguely regretted leaving her earlier; he had originally wanted to return to the manor earlier to be with her.

However, she quickly turned her head, and the kiss landed on her hair. He narrowed his eyes, reached out and held her chin. When he lowered his head again, he said in a deep voice, "Don't provoke me." He was also in pain.
He was just a hair's breadth away from her forehead, able to feel the warmth of her skin, but he couldn't bring himself to kiss her anymore. Only when his body stiffened and became numb did he finally lie down on his side.
He stubbornly held her tighter and hid her deeper, only then did he feel the resentment in his chest dissipate somewhat, as if he had never known her rejection of him, or the invisible barrier between them since they met again after she was confined to her home.
