Chapter 111 Physical Discomfort
Chapter 111
In his heart, his wife has always been kind and beautiful, but he never thought that she would become so... Marquis Zhongyong thought for a long time but did not say anything too extreme. At this moment, he felt extremely confused about his wife's behavior and even felt a little sad.
When the Marquis's wife heard the accusation from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, her expression changed slightly and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She slowly raised her head and met the eyes of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Her eyes welled up and tears welled up in her eyes. "How could the Marquis think of me so much? What have I done? It was Concubine Mei who was unfaithful to her husband. What does it have to do with me?"
The Marquis's wife's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of grievance and unwillingness. She looked at the Marquis with eyes full of innocence, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Seeing his wife still refusing to admit it, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was even more disappointed. "Even if Mei is unfaithful to her husband, how could she possibly have contact with a man outside her family if no one condoned her? Our mansion is heavily guarded. How could that man, a mere mortal with no martial prowess, have entered?"
He paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and observed calmly, and saw the panic in his wife's eyes flash away.
His heart gradually sank, but he continued to ask, "Besides, how could it be such a coincidence? He was able to enter the Marquis' Mansion today for no reason, and even evaded the Marquis's guards and ran into the inner courtyard. And it was such a coincidence that I discovered his tracks and ran into him."
Under the gaze of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, the Marquis's wife grew increasingly uneasy. She lowered her head slightly, twisting her handkerchief tightly in her hands, and hesitated several times, not knowing how to respond.
When Marquis Zhongyong saw this scene, he felt his heart grow colder. He gathered his sleeves, swung them hard, and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the Marquis's wife quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, saying anxiously, "My husband, please don't be so angry. I was wrong to do this. It's just that every time I think of her or see her, it's like a thorn piercing my heart. I can't let it go, so I'm like this."
"How many women in this world don't mind their husbands having other women? Husband, I'm just an ordinary woman too!"
Seeing that the loyal and brave Marquis's expression was still cold.
The Marquis's wife hastily explained, "But I never imagined the outcome would be like this. I only wanted to give her a good ending. If she's willing, just let her go. I didn't intend to kill her."
The loyal and brave marquis looked back at her, and seeing her tears welling up in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. He knew that his wife was not a cruel person and she would not do such a thing.
But if he really cared, he should have told him earlier so he could have let him go. Why bother doing this? He schemed like this, not only against others but also against himself, and had lost a life for nothing.
But doing something wrong is doing something wrong, and if it is not punished, it will definitely not work. The loyal and brave Marquis used a little force to pull his sleeve out of the Marquis's wife's hand.
His voice was still cold, but without the anger it had earlier. "I'm going to sleep in the study for the next few days. You should get some rest early."
After saying this, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery turned around resolutely and left without looking back, leaving his wife standing there with tears streaming down her face.
Nanny Sang only dared to come in after seeing the Marquis leave.
She wanted to help the Marquis sit down and rest for a while, but she held her hand tightly. The Marquis murmured to her, "Mammy, did I do something wrong?"
Nanny Sang lowered her eyes slightly. She had felt something was amiss from the beginning and had tried to persuade the Marquis' wife, but she wouldn't listen. Over the years, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had doted on the Marquis' wife too much, causing her to lose her original heart.
But at this moment, Nanny Sang would never pour cold water on her. She just comforted her softly, "It's okay. The Marquis will definitely not be too angry with Madam. It will be fine in a few days. Madam, please go and comfort the Marquis more often when you have time."
The Marquis's wife nodded and was helped by Nanny Sang to sit at the table, but she still couldn't stop crying.
Nanny Sang ordered the maid to bring a basin of hot water and gently wipe off the makeup and tears on the Marquis's face.
Unlike the chaos in Minghua Hall, Changqing Courtyard was completely silent.
…………
A gentle breeze blew, and flowers bloomed. A woman in a pink gauze dress, her graceful figure faintly visible beneath the veil, and her smile was sweet and charming. Ye Yunzhou felt a slight itch in his throat, and mentally warned himself that this was not the right thing to do, but he still couldn't help but move forward.
The woman he admired saw him approaching and naturally leaned against him, revealing her shoulders slightly, making her look very charming. Yun Zhou's hand rested on her shoulder uncontrollably.
The spring thunder suddenly sounded, and Ye Yunzhou woke up from his dream. Sitting on the bed, he recalled the scene in his dream. He smiled bitterly and sighed that he had become more and more dirty in recent days.
He stood up and walked towards the yard, where there were two large water vats, usually filled with water. He picked up a wooden bucket and scooped two buckets of water, pouring it over his head. The cold water finally cleared his mind a little.
He returned to the house, changed into clean clothes, and wanted to continue sleeping, but found that he had no desire to sleep at all. He stayed awake until dawn.
…………
Unlike him, Luo Shuiyao returned to the courtyard, washed up, and lay down on the bed. She had thought that what she had seen and heard today would affect her sleep quality and make it difficult to fall asleep. But after closing her eyes, she would sleep soundly and dreamlessly all night.
When she woke up the next morning, she was a little surprised. Then, she secretly sighed that perhaps she was such a cold and unsympathetic person at heart.
Today's breakfast was eaten in Chunhua Courtyard.
It was because someone from Minghua Hall came to inform them early in the morning that the Marquis's wife was ill, and everyone was asked to eat in their own courtyards for the next few days.
Luo Shuiyao had no objection to this. Recalling what happened last night, she thought for a moment, then asked Dujuan to get some food from the kitchen, and then went to Minghua Hall to visit the Marquis's wife.
Arriving at Minghua Hall, Luo Shuiyao noticed the silence within the courtyard the moment she entered. The servants were quiet, and upon seeing her arrival, they simply greeted her in a low voice before going inside to announce her arrival.
After a while, Nanny Sang was called out.
When Madam Sang saw her coming, she immediately came forward to greet her. "This old servant greets Miss Luo."
Luo Shuiyao gestured for Du Juan to hand the food box to the maid in Minghua Hall, and she went to meet him. "Madam Sang, how is my aunt? What's wrong with her? Has a doctor come to see her?"
Luo Shuiyao's tone was full of concern and her eyes showed worry.
Seeing that her concern didn't seem fake, Nanny Sang sighed and said, "Of course I did. I asked Doctor Hua to come over early this morning. My headache has recurred."
She sighed, her eyes filled with heartache, "It's just that this is an old illness of Madam, and it hasn't improved in these years."
Nanny Sang skipped over the quarrel between the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his wife yesterday. Miss Luo was just a little girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage. How could she, as an elder, talk to her about matters between husband and wife?
