A few bloodshot lines were clearly visible in the open eyes.
She looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, frowning, wondering what she was thinking about.
After a long time, she picked up another document and looked at it for a while, but she was upset and couldn't concentrate on anything.
At this time, the personal maid came in.
"Sir, this is the ginseng soup that the servants brought."
Bai Heng's eyes fell on the ginseng soup, his eyebrows brightened with joy, and he asked hurriedly, "Did my husband send it here?"
She opened the lid and the ginseng soup emitted sweet steam.
The maid paused and whispered, "No, no, it was sent by my cousin."
Bai Heng's hand, which was about to pick up the spoon, stopped moving, and the satisfaction on his face faded, even becoming a bit colder than before.
She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and covered her forehead with her hands. She looked extremely tired. She said dumbly, "You drink this ginseng soup. I don't need it. Don't accept anything other than what my husband sends."
The maid opened her mouth and wanted to say something, then looked up at Bai Heng. In the end, she said nothing and brought the ginseng soup away.
The door of the study was opened and a gust of cold wind rushed in. The maid left and closed the door again, but the coldness in the room still lingered.
"A Xuan..." Bai Heng's thin lips moved as he murmured, his tone evoking countless tenderness and love.
…
Under the oil lamp, Wei Xuan was alone, flipping through an account book, but he didn't turn a page for a long time. His eyes were a little dazed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"My dear, it's getting late. You should go to bed." The personal servant came into the room and reminded.
Wei Xuan was stunned and didn't say anything. After a few seconds, he closed the account book and rubbed his eyebrows.
The servant gave him some hot water to wash up. He looked at his face reflected in the basin and finally asked, "How is it going, sir?"
"I heard from Bihe who was beside the lord that the lord was very busy with official duties because of the bandit suppression a few days ago, and he didn't rest until late at night these days. But..." The servant wanted to say something but stopped. He raised his eyes and looked at Wei Xuan with heartache, not knowing whether he should say the next words.
"Just say whatever you want to say. You know I don't like being kept in the dark." Wei Xuan had some vague guesses in his mind.
"I heard that the young cousin just made some ginseng soup and gave it to the master." The servant clenched his fists in anger, "My dear, how could the young cousin do that? The master already has you. Isn't it..."
Wei Xuan's eyes fluctuated for a moment, then returned to calm. He stretched out his hand and touched the water in the basin with his fingertips. The water was clearly warm just now, but it turned cold soon.
It felt like a cool breeze was blowing into my heart.
"I understand. You can go down." Wei Xuan said lightly.
Seeing Wei Xuan's indifference, the servant became anxious: "My dear, you can't let this go on. He is just a cousin, but now he regards the Bai Mansion as his home. He always tries to get close to you in various ways. His intentions can be seen at a glance. My dear, your dear has you in his heart. You should just give in to your dear. Back then, your dear..."
"Stop talking and go down." Wei Xuan seemed to be stimulated by something, with emotions fluctuating in his eyes. He interrupted the servant before he could finish speaking.
The servant bit his lip and finally had no choice but to leave.
Wei Xuan leaned back on the bed and closed his eyes.
He knew very well that he should give in to Bai Heng at this time.
