Chapter 2 Shock, Probing
She was astonished to see Sheng Huai'an smiling as he took Liu Rumei's hand, leaned down and whispered something in her ear, and then they became intimately close.
If they were an ordinary couple, this wouldn't be a problem.
But they... Uncle and widowed sister-in-law, how could they be?!
...
A wave of nausea washed over her, and Ye Mingzhu coughed and gagged.
"Miss!" Baozan rushed to her side, tears of joy streaming down her face. "You've been unconscious for four or five days, you've finally woken up!"
Ye Mingzhu looked out the window, still shaken, and realized that she had just been dreaming.
"What time is it?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
Baozan said, "It's just past Hai hour."
Ye Mingzhu said weakly, "Go to the study and ask my husband to come over. Tell him I want to see him."
Baozan immediately stood up and said, "This servant will go right away!"
But she still couldn't get Sheng Huai'an to come.
He still gave the same answer: he wasn't a doctor, so his presence wouldn't be of any use.
Ye Mingzhu repeatedly asked Baozan, "You saw your husband in the study with your own eyes, but you just wouldn't come to see me?"
Baozan thought she was upset, so she quickly comforted her, "The young master is probably busy and can't come right away, but he will definitely come tomorrow."
Ye Mingzhu was not sad.
She just wanted to confirm whether Sheng Huai'an was in the study.
He was in the study, not in Qinghui Garden, which seems to suggest that her dream was false.
But she was still uneasy. After thinking for a moment, she took out some silver notes and asked Baozan to check if there was a secret passage in Sheng Huai'an's study.
The dream she just had was so vivid that she felt ridiculous for taking it so seriously, but a voice inside her urged her to verify it.
It will take time to investigate the secret passage.
In the following days, after calming down, Ye Mingzhu also tried to talk to Sheng Huai'an.
Why did he ignore her for three years? If he didn't like her, he could have simply not married her.
As a result, with red eyes, he told her a secret that she could hardly believe: he had injured his genitals when he was young, and had been impotent ever since.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be close to her or have children with her; it was simply that he couldn't. But for the sake of his male dignity, he had to force himself to stay together.
Ye Mingzhu outwardly believed her, but inwardly she was truly hesitant.
Firstly, she was knowledgeable in medicine and did not discover any impotence problem when she examined Sheng Huai'an's pulse.
Secondly, after dreaming about his ambiguous relationship with Liu Rumei, she noticed many things were wrong with him.
Upon closer reflection, for the past three years, Sheng Huai'an had been asking Liu Rumei to treat her cough without interruption. Was he perhaps being a little too concerned about his widowed sister-in-law?
Sometimes, in order to treat Liu Rumei's illness, he even disregarded her health.
When talking about curing diseases, we must mention the Longevity Gu.
Her mother was a Miao woman who passed down to her a longevity Gu (a type of poisonous insect) that her family had nurtured for generations when she came of age.
The mother Gu induces the birth of the offspring Gu. The offspring Gu, when used alone, has an effect comparable to ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. When used together with other medicinal herbs, it can enhance the efficacy of the medicine, which is quite amazing.
Three years ago, she unexpectedly saved Sheng Huai'an, who was seriously injured. He was on the verge of death, so she gave him blood from her fingertip, which contained a Gu worm, to keep him alive, and then took him to a clinic before leaving.
She thought they were just strangers who met by chance, but unexpectedly he found her, and their fates took a turn for the better...
He was once gentle and considerate towards her, and she was once overjoyed to have married such a good husband. The two had also made vows of eternal love.
But what if it's all a lie? What if Sheng Huai'an's marriage to her wasn't purely for her sake, but for her longevity curse?
...
For several days in a row, Ye Mingzhu was lost in thought.
An idea gradually took shape in my mind: to get a divorce.
Meanwhile, Baozan also found out the result.
There really is a secret passage behind the display cabinet in Sheng Huai'an's study!
Upon hearing the news, Ye Mingzhu's head went blank, and her face turned deathly pale.
Baozan quickly asked, "Miss, is there something wrong with the secret passage?"
"No!" Ye Mingzhu gripped the handkerchief tightly and solemnly instructed, "This matter ends here, don't mention it again! Go and take care of that old woman, make sure she absolutely doesn't let a word of it slip by!"
Baozan was puzzled, but nodded and replied, "Yes."
Ye Mingzhu added, "Go back to the Ye family tomorrow and send a message to my brother and sister-in-law, asking them to come over."
Baozan immediately became anxious and asked, "Miss, has something happened?"
"Yes..." Ye Mingzhu didn't hide it from her, "I want a divorce, and I invited my elder brother and sister-in-law over to discuss this matter with them. However, we must not let the news leak out."
She couldn't let the scandal between Sheng Huai'an and Liu Rumei become public.
There are three memorial arches erected in front of the Duke of Wei's mansion to commemorate chastity! If this scandal were to spread, would the Duke of Wei's mansion let her off the hook? No!
At least until she leaves the Duke of Wei's mansion safely, she must pretend to know nothing about Sheng Huai'an's affair.
However, she didn't expect that while she was quick, Sheng Huai'an was even faster.
He had been monitoring her all along!
