Chapter 90 Deliberately Teasing Him
Previously, Ye Mingzhu asked Sheng Yunche to help her investigate Chen Mama's affairs, hoping to see if there was anything she could use to plant a spy next to Liu Rumei.
She was indeed very concerned about this matter.
But now that Sheng Yunche has said it, she feels like something's not quite right.
Did he think she was the kind of person who was only interested in profit and could be easily distracted, and that once she heard that there was a result regarding Granny Chen's matter, she would stop asking about the bloodstains on him?
she is.
With a soft hum in her heart, Ye Mingzhu looked up again, her eyes filled with surprise and delight: "Really? Your Excellency, you really investigated and found out about Granny Chen's matter? You are truly amazing!"
Sheng Yunche: "...Hmm."
"Then please give me the information, I'll take a look," Ye Mingzhu said.
Sheng Yunche: "Okay."
Ye Mingzhu took the two thin sheets of paper and looked at them by the candlelight.
She guessed correctly. She knew that given Madam Sun's character, it was impossible for her to lend a helping hand to Granny Chen in her time of need and to defy public opinion to protect her.
Sure enough, the deaths of Granny Chen's husband and child were suspicious and were caused by Little Sun.
Even the difficult childbirth of Granny Chen was orchestrated by Madam Sun.
It now seems that the reason why Madam Sun orchestrated this was probably to subdue Granny Chen, so that Granny Chen would have no family burdens and could only rely on her, making her completely at her mercy.
Sheng Yunche indeed has many capable people under his command; he was even able to uncover secrets from twenty or thirty years ago.
Ye Mingzhu put down the paper in her hand and said with mixed feelings, "If Granny Chen knew the truth, she would hate Xiao Sunshi just as much as she was grateful to her before. But Liu Rumei was raised by her and treated as her own child. I wonder if she would deal with Liu Rumei."
Sheng Yunche said, "If you promise to ensure her a worry-free life for the rest of her days, she shouldn't hesitate."
"Can Granny Chen trust me?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
Sheng Yunche raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a smile.
Ye Mingzhu immediately understood: First, there was a deep-seated blood feud between Granny Chen and Madam Sun, and if she wanted revenge, she could only rely on the power of the Duke of Wei's mansion. Second, the Duke of Wei's mansion had an excellent reputation, and keeping its promises was one of its strengths.
"I understand!" Ye Mingzhu smiled. "Tomorrow I will have Yanzhi contact Granny Chen to see how she reacts, and then make further arrangements."
After saying that, she looked gently at Sheng Yunche and said, "Lord Duke, it's getting late, let's rest."
Without waiting for his reply, she lay down and closed her eyes.
Sheng Yunche: "..."
He took a deep breath and lay down, his gaze never leaving Ye Mingzhu for even a moment, but he didn't know what he was waiting for.
It was late at night.
The candlelight was dim.
A light drizzle suddenly began to fall outside the window, and a cool breeze carrying the fine raindrops blew into the room. The chill of the autumn night instantly dissipated much of the warmth in the room.
Sheng Yunche suddenly felt even worse.
He took another deep breath, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Mingzhu, don't you have any conscience?"
In the darkness, Ye Mingzhu pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and pretended to be asleep and then woken up, asking in a muffled voice, "Lord Duke, what did you say?"
"What did I say?" Sheng Yunche pinched her cheek angrily, laughing in exasperation. "I investigated Chen Mama's matter for you with all my heart and soul, and you really don't care about me at all?"
"Ah..." Ye Mingzhu feigned surprise and confusion, "But didn't you tell me not to ask? Wasn't it because I asked why you smelled of blood that you used Chen Mama's matter to brush me off and distract me?"
Sheng Yunche: "..."
He was furious.
But he didn't know how to say it.
How could he possibly admit that he had originally intended to use the matter of Granny Chen to distract her, but she actually stopped him and only cared about the information he had gathered, showing no concern whatsoever about whether he was injured, which made him feel extremely frustrated?
He remained silent, expressing his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.
Ye Mingzhu tried to hold back but couldn't help bursting out laughing.
"You..." Sheng Yunche suddenly turned to look at her, instantly understanding, and then laughed angrily, "Are you deliberately teasing me?"
"How could that be?" Ye Mingzhu echoed his snort. "I was clearly just cooperating with you, Duke."
Sheng Yunche: "..."
Ye Mingzhu got out of bed, turned the lights in the room brighter, and then returned to the bedside under Sheng Yunche's gaze.
She pursed her lips and politely asked, "May I unbutton your clothes to see how you are injured?"
She added, "I am a doctor. If your bandaged wound has opened and is bleeding, it would be better if I could reapply the medicine and bandage it for you."
Sheng Yunche turned his face away, refusing to look at her, seemingly still angry.
But remaining silent is tantamount to acquiescence.
His appearance was exceptionally handsome; half of his face was illuminated by the candlelight, while the other half was hidden in shadow, which made his striking features appear even more defined and handsome.
Ye Mingzhu glanced at him, and once again sighed in her heart, "A beauty under the lamp is more beautiful the more you look at her," while finding the medicine box and sitting down by the bed.
She reached out and untied the white undergarment Sheng Yunche was wearing, and immediately saw that there were layers of white gauze wrapped around his left waist and abdomen, with traces of blood seeping out, making it look like the wound had reopened.
Because the gauze was wrapped so tightly, the bloodstains did not seep into the clothes.
Her almond-shaped eyes, which had been smiling, immediately became calm and serious.
Opening the medicine box, she skillfully unwrapped the gauze from Sheng Yunche's body, revealing a wound half a foot long with the skin torn up. It was clearly cut by a sharp weapon, which immediately made her expression change.
"You bandaged yourself up like this? Who bandaged you up?" She looked up and glared at Sheng Yunche.
The man leaned lazily against the headboard, as if the wound wasn't on his body and he felt no pain at all.
Sheng Yunche was stared at by her clear, almond-shaped eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his nose. For some reason, seeing the anxious look on her face, he felt a sense of pleasure.
"say!"
"Oh..." Sheng Yunche cleared his throat and spoke lightly, shifting the blame to Bu Xi, "It was Bu Xi who bandaged me. Maybe he wasn't that concerned about me and just dealt with it casually, that's all."
Ye Mingzhu chuckled to herself.
She'd never believe that.
Bu Xi and Bu Bei were extremely respectful to Sheng Yunche. Even though Bu Xi was a little unruly, his loyalty to Sheng Yunche was beyond question.
She glared at Sheng Yunche again, worried that it might involve his official secrets, so she didn't ask him why he was injured, and carefully began to treat his wound.
By the time she finished dealing with it, it was already past the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
She packed her medicine kit and was about to get up when she suddenly looked up as if sensing something. She met Sheng Yunche's deep phoenix eyes as he looked at her. When he took her hand, her heart skipped a beat and her almond-shaped eyes widened involuntarily.
"My lord..."
"Mmm." Sheng Yunche responded first, placing her hand on his broad, muscular chest before saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "Call me husband."
Ye Mingzhu's face instantly flushed red.

Wenwen started her book test today. I hope she does well and gets a good score.
The amount of donations from the bookstore is pitifully small now, and I'm too embarrassed to keep asking for donations on AiFanDian (a donation-generating platform). Since I started writing, I've only received a total of 9.57 yuan in donations, and I'm practically broke every day.
Tears streaming down my face~
