Is it a hallucination?
Or is it just auditory hallucination?
Or perhaps someone wants to harm him!
Lin Ruhai pretended nothing was wrong, sitting at the table drinking tea, but his eyes kept glancing around.
Ah, a cultural storm! Tea culture has entered my mind in a strange way.
Such a handsome and cultured man, even if he died young, would surely be remembered!
Lin Ruhai...
How can a small person's delusions and auditory hallucinations amount to so much?
Lin Ruhai suddenly remembered that he had met a Taoist priest on the street some time ago who said that he had recently had a miraculous encounter. At the time, he thought that the task assigned by the emperor would be completed smoothly, or that his daughter Daiyu's illness would be cured. Now it seems... it was a misunderstanding!
Is this what you're referring to?
Lin Ruhai was momentarily lost in thought.
[Waaaaah, even the way he spacing out looks just like a university professor in class, pondering for a moment before calling on someone to answer a question!]
[You can't see me, you can't see me]
Lin Ruhai...
Something about this 'serendipitous encounter' seems off. Taking a deep breath, I realized that someone like this wouldn't need to be drugged.
Forget it, I might as well die of stupidity...
"Wang Mama, help Madam to rest."
Shen Ajiao was taken aback. Wasn't this the wedding night? Why would I need someone to serve me?
Wait, who is this Granny Wang in front of me? Could she be the Granny Wang who came to the capital with Daiyu?
"Oh, I'm still happy that you've hired someone to serve me, but my dear husband, your family is about to face terrible misfortune!"
At this time, the Rongguo Mansion should have sent someone to fetch Daiyu to the capital. This Granny Wang is not a good person; she might be working for Lady Wang of the Rongguo Mansion.
[When your daughter goes to Beijing and becomes a pitiful little thing, you won't live long either!]
Sigh, my husband, whom I'd finally got, is about to be snatched away.
In this era, with neither her father nor mother caring for her, she probably won't live long as a widow...
Damn it, I'd rather be single...
Lin Ruhai's expression changed drastically. The Jia family of Rongguo Mansion did indeed send someone to pick up Daiyu. He promised to send her over after his wedding so that no one could find fault. But only he knew about this and it had not been spread around!
The Jia family of Rongguo Mansion is the maternal grandparents' family of the daughter, how could they become pitiful?
Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes dangerously, unaware that Shen Ajiao was being pulled away to remove her makeup and take a bath.
She gave a few instructions to her servants, saying she was going to see Jia Yucun, when she heard the voice of Shen Ajiao, who was removing her makeup.
[My god, this is like the King of Hell ordering you to die at midnight, and you're supposed to report for duty at 2 AM! Are these suicide squad members in a hurry to be reincarnated?]
My goodness, Jia Yucun is such a rascal!
Lin Ruhai's steps froze, and his heart skipped a beat. He had guessed correctly; this Jia Yucun was no good!
For his daughter's sake, he did not hesitate to use his influence in Beijing to plan a good future for her, but he never expected that she was someone else's man!
Lin Ruhai pursed his lips and sent another person to inform Jia Yucun that he didn't need to come.
Jia Yucun, who was drinking at a wedding banquet, was a little depressed. Lord Lin had invited him, but why hadn't he invited him again?
Could it be because of the trip to the capital? He's already packed his bags. It must be that Lord Lin doesn't like his new wife and is giving him a heads-up. He should drink less today and set off early tomorrow so as not to delay his journey!
Lin Ruhai was still worried, so he secretly sent someone to Jia Yucun's house to investigate. What they found shocked them: in Jia Yucun's study, they found several letters exchanged with others, including many from officials who were his enemies.
Oh!
Lin Ruhai sneered, "Jia Yucun, what a clever trick!"
That's really great! You're eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot. I wonder if you can even handle this pot!
He waved to a subordinate, whispered something to him, and then dismissed him.
Lin Ruhai sat down again, looking at Shen Ajiao who had just finished bathing and changing. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. It seemed that the little man he had just seen was not an illusion, but really the words of his newlywed wife.
Lin Ruhai quickly accepted this 'miracle,' and it seems that the miracle is working in his favor...
It's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse!
After Shen Ajiao finished getting ready, she saw that Lin Ruhai had also gone to wash up and was lying on the bed alone. She felt that she was really not at a disadvantage with such a husband.
After a while, Lin Ruhai, who had finished washing up, also came out.
[He's out! He's out! Take a deep breath! He's just a man!]
To sleep or not to sleep?
Lin Ruhai…
Sometimes it's good to be free of these illusions...
Glancing at Granny Wang fiddling with the candles beside him, if what she said was true, he…he…
A pang of heartache flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes. Granny Wang was his wet nurse. He thought that if she went to the capital with Daiyu, she would be able to protect Daiyu wholeheartedly.
Were we truly misplaced in our trust in this wet nurse?
"Granny, you should go and rest early today."
Snap! One of the dragon and phoenix candles was extinguished, but fortunately, there were many candles lit in the room, so it didn't feel dark.
“This old servant deserves to die, I’ll relight it right away.”
As he spoke, he added, "I'm getting old and need less sleep. Someone will need to inform the late Madam. Master, you can just go to sleep."
Lin Ruhai felt something was off about what Granny Wang said, and thinking of Yu'er's mother, Jia Min, he couldn't help but sigh.
Turning my head, I heard someone say,
Wow~ This aged green tea is truly getting better with age! Shall we order another one?
[Don't you mind looking ugly!]
[Lin Ruhai, some people here are laughing at you, saying your second marriage won't last!]
Doing something so unlucky on such a joyous day is like she's cursing you and bringing bad luck to your wife.
[At his age, he's really squeezing in time. What does "Master, you can just sleep" even mean? This is blatant psychological suggestion.]
[Poor Jia Min, sir! Go and see the late mistress!]
[I just wanted to disgust the new wife and let her know that the master still loves the first wife.]
Ugh~ If you're going to leave, leave quickly, don't disgust me here.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhai's hand in his sleeve stiffened slightly. Without looking at Wang Mama, he turned his back and said coldly, "Go down."
Granny Wang was also taken aback. Usually, if she said something like that, the master would agree to go see the late madam, but today he didn't say anything about it.
His gaze toward Shen Ajiao was filled with malice. This woman deserved to die. She dared to seduce the master just because she was pretty.
Shen Ajiao felt goosebumps all over from Wang Mama's vicious gaze. Wang Mama was definitely no good! She was just a newly arrived mistress, and she dared to act like this? What would become of her in the future?
[What are you looking at? Damn it, if you've got the guts, come and spar with me now! I'm a ninth-dan in Tongbei Quan, ninth dan!!]
Fortunately, Granny Wang didn't say much. She just gave Lin Ruhai a mournful look and left dejectedly.
Lin Ruhai felt a pang of melancholy.
Should I take the initiative later?
Calm down, calm down, we can't scare this old relic.
Lin Ruhai? An old fogey? Are you talking about him?
