Chapter 1384: Crying Until Her Heart Softened
Chapter 1384: Crying Until Her Heart Softened
Seeing his master's expression, Ye Xing immediately said, "I will go to accept the punishment as soon as I recover."
Wenren Qichi snorted coldly and continued to ask, "Two more days have passed, why hasn't Wumian arrived yet?"
“Master, it’s not my fault. I was injured and could only get out of bed today. I asked Wenzhu to send people to look for him, but they didn’t find him. If we follow the information we got on the last day, Wumian should have arrived in Fengdu by now.”
"And Master, these past two days the Lady has been reluctant to see Lord Pu and the others leave, and has stayed with them almost day and night. The Lady is so good, why doesn't she treat Master well!"
“The master is vomiting like this, and he still wants to stay here.”
"When I first arrived, I overheard them talking in the main courtyard that after Pu Langjun and the others leave, the Lady will stay for a few more days. What will you do then, Master?"
Upon hearing Ye Xing's words, Wenren Qichi coldly said, "It seems you're not seriously injured, otherwise why would you have time to pass by the main courtyard and eavesdrop!"
Ye Xing felt a chilly, gloomy feeling, and his body trembled. He immediately shook his head and said, "Master, I didn't go there to listen on purpose. I was just passing by. I didn't listen on purpose."
"Master, please don't look at me so gloomily. My original intention was to go to the vicinity of the main gate to see if I could find Wumian. When I heard this news, I immediately came to inform you. Master, why don't you escape and go back to the Wen residence to hide for a while?"
"Otherwise, if the Queen moves in again, you'll have no choice but to do what she says."
"If Wumian arrives, we can try to see if he can make the master feel better. But with Wumian's brain, I'm afraid he'll have a hard time finding him."
"By then, the Queen might have already given birth, but she still won't be here. My lady still has more than four months to go!"
As Wenren Qichi listened to Ye Xing's words, his forehead throbbed, and his face went from pale to black, then back to pale, and back to green again...
"If you say another word, I'll kill you."
Ye Xing immediately covered his mouth and looked at Wenren Qichi, who was gloomy and exuding murderous intent. His legs went weak, and he fell forward with a thud, landing face down on the ground. Before he could even cry out, he immediately covered his mouth and shook his head.
Seeing Ye Xing like this, Wenren Qichi gagged twice, exhaled, and shouted towards the door, "Wenzhu, Yanqing, you two come in and throw him out. I don't want to see him for the next two days."
"Yes, Master." Wen Zhu and Yan Qing came in and immediately dragged Ye Xing out.
After carrying the person out, Wen Zhu came in, poured Wenren Qichi a glass of warm water, and took the documents from his hand.
“Master, don’t take it to heart with Ye Xing. He cares about you, but he’s just misdirecting his concern. He’s just not very bright.”
"Wen Zhu's current predicament is largely thanks to Ye Xing. If it weren't for the fact that he's followed me for so many years, I would have wanted to kill him," Wenren Qichi sneered.
"Then let's wait until Blood Shadow returns from his business and have Night Walk take on more errands to make up for it!"
"You're protecting him, haven't you sent back a single message from Wumian?"
"Not yet. Our men have been monitoring all four city gates, but we haven't seen Wumian enter the city."
"Send more people to search, and bring the person back to me by tomorrow night."
"Master is afraid that after the Lady sees off Lord Pu tomorrow, she will move in, so she wants Wumian to come over and suppress the reaction in your body!" Wenzhu said with emotion.
"You know why you say it outright? The Queen stayed here for one night, and the feeling of her blood churning was so unbearable that she wanted to die."
Looking at her somewhat thin mistress, Wenzhu felt a flash of heartache in her eyes and asked softly, "Mistress, the Queen is putting you through so much trouble, don't you resent it?"
"What is there to complain about? It's all my own fault. If my father and the others hadn't tried to drug me, and if I hadn't given my wife that pill, neither my lord nor I would have gotten pregnant."
"Now I understand why other people are so afraid of their wives having their children. After experiencing these past few days, I never want to go through that again in my life."
"Sometimes you really can't live without a child!"
"The Queen has deep feelings for the Lord, and I even caused the Lord to fall into the trap. I must suffer the punishment even if it means death. If the Queen doesn't move in, and I don't suffer, how will they appease their anger?"
"Thinking back to how stupid I was, I even promised Xingcejun that I couldn't refuse if my wife wanted to have a second or third child for me. I don't know how I'm going to live now." Wenren Qichi sighed, looking completely dejected.
What was he thinking?! Their reaction must be suspicious; he agreed without even investigating...
The more I think about it, the more I want to just find a block of tofu and smash my head against it.
Looking at his master, who was filled with regret and dejection, Wenzhu was at a loss for words. He couldn't take the blame for him, nor could he experience it himself.
"Wenzhu, hurry up and go find Wumian. He is my last hope. I hope he can suppress this feeling of blood surging in my veins."
"Otherwise, when my wife comes over, I'm afraid I really won't be able to resist hugging her leg and crying until she softens."
Wenzhu's lips twitched slightly when she heard her master's words. Her master, who was usually so well-behaved, was now capable of crying while holding a woman.
"Master, I'm arranging for some people to go find Wumian right away."
“But I can’t guarantee it before tomorrow night,” Wenzhu said.
Imagine Wumian, a hopeless navigator, who lived in the Wen family mansion for so many years without anyone to guide him, unable to even find his way to the gate.
Fengdu is so big. It's true that their people are guarding the city gates, but what if something happens to him and he gets into the city by other means?
It's not unheard of for someone to evade their lurking surveillance.
He was afraid that by the time they found her, the Queen might have already given birth.
He didn't dare say these words in front of his master, for fear of causing him to break down...
"Then you all try your best to find him. Xun Cejun and the others are going on a long trip. Apart from those who secretly help them by sending messages to various prefectures, send out everyone else to find him. Turn the entire Fengdu upside down if you have to."
"Alright, Master, I'll go and have Yanqing send someone else." Wenzhu finished speaking, bowed, and left the room.
Wenren Qichi waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up and leave. He then lay dejectedly on the bed, clutching his chest and dry heaving twice. He wondered when this would ever end.
It's really upsetting...
The next day.
Su Yueyao saw Pu An and Nan Feng off at the gate of the mansion, still giving them instructions.
"My lady, don't worry! We'll be back soon and take good care of ourselves. Nothing will happen to us," Pu An reassured Su Yueyao.
“My lady, you should go back to the manor quickly. We will return before you give birth,” Xun Haoxuan said.
Su Yueyao looked at them again and nodded: "You can go now! I'll watch you leave, and I'll wait for you to come back at home."
