After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

The cicadas chirped outside. Su Lingyue was still a little dizzy from drinking. She hummed softly in her daze and suddenly felt an itch under her waist. She raised her hand and scratched it.

only……

Something's not right.

She moved her fingers, and her body instantly froze.

Realizing what was happening, he immediately pulled his hand back.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was holding her, breathing evenly, and seemed to be fast asleep, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

My husband, my husband.

But why aren't she and Xiao Yu dressed?

"woke up?"

A slightly hoarse voice came from behind him.

Su Lingyue's body stiffened again.

"Yes, I just... just woke up. When did Your Highness wake up?"

I wonder if Xiao Yu knew about this just now?

Xiao Yu chuckled softly, his laughter tinged with drowsiness. "Little wine jar, are you feeling unwell?"

He grabbed Su Lingyue's small hand that had been tickling her earlier.

"I feel a little dizzy..." But I'm about 70-80% awake now.

Xiao Yu propped himself up and called over the maid who was waiting outside the door.

"Have the kitchen prepare a hangover soup and bring it in with breakfast."

Green Bamboo respectfully agreed, then carefully went out and closed the door behind her.

Su Lingyue quickly took the opportunity to turn over and face Xiao Yu, who was looking down at her with a faint smile on his lips.

Xiao Yu raised his hand and stroked Su Lingyue's cheek, saying meaningfully, "Yue'er also said that she has good drinking manners."

She pinched his soft, fragrant cheeks.

"It's really good."

Although Xiao Yu didn't say anything, his teasing gaze made Su Lingyue wonder what she had done to Xiao Yu when she was drunk last night.

"I didn't do anything, did I?" Su Lingyue tugged at the silk quilt, pulling it up little by little, trying to hide her guilty conscience, but her gaze still couldn't help but drift towards Xiao Yu's scarred chest.

Xiao Yu smiled gently, "It's nothing, she just took off my clothes."

They stripped Xiao Yu of his clothes?

Would I do this when I'm drunk?

What did she do to Xiao Yu?

The mattress was gradually moved up, covering Su Lingyue's eyes.

Or, should I sleep a little longer?

After a rustling sound, Su Lingyue peeked out from under the mattress and saw that Xiao Yu had already put on his undergarments and was sitting at the round table drinking tea.

Although the white inner garment was loose, her slender and graceful figure could still be seen.

Like pine and bamboo.

It's very good. It's understandable that he couldn't help himself when he was drunk.

Su Lingyue found her pink peony-embroidered dress inside the bed, slowly put it on, then looked around and found her undergarments at the foot of the bed and put them on as well.

As Su Lingyue moved to the edge of the bed and was about to put on her shoes, she noticed the undershirt and trousers next to them.

It belongs to Xiao Yu.

Could this be something I tore off and threw onto the bed last night?

Su Lingyue twitched her fingers, then picked up the clothes from the ground, her cheeks and ears gradually turning red.

She actually did something like stripping Xiao Yu of his clothes.

After stripping him naked, she didn't know how to make advances towards him.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu and saw that he was focused on drinking tea, so she crumpled her clothes into a ball and hid them under the covers.

Drunkenness can lead to serious problems.

Yes, that's because she was drunk; she can't remember anything.

Since Xiao Yu didn't mention what happened after he stripped her clothes, she would pretend she didn't know anything, since she couldn't remember anything anyway.

I should drink less alcohol in the future, and even if I do drink, I shouldn't overindulge.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu shielded her from those toasts yesterday. If she had gotten drunk at the banquet, she would never have been able to face anyone again.

Xiao Yu tilted his head slightly, caught a glimpse of Su Lingyue's small gesture out of the corner of his eye, and smiled as he took another sip of hot tea.

Qin Wanning agreed to take care of He Yulin for a month. Madam Qin was worried that the He family would make things difficult for her daughter, so she also went to the He family.

Inside the main room of Qinfang Courtyard, He Yulin was still tied to the bed, his eyes wide open, staring unfocused ahead. The scabs on his wrists and ankles had been wiped away, and blood was seeping out.

“He hasn’t eaten or drunk anything since yesterday. Wan Ning, could you please try to persuade him?” He Wen said sincerely.

His eyes were red, and overnight, it seemed that many white hairs had appeared at his temples, and several more lines had appeared on his forehead.

Qin Wan gazed at He Wen with clear eyes: "Don't worry, Mr. He, since I've agreed, I will do my best."

He Wen forced a slightly sad smile.

With such a good daughter-in-law, if none of this had happened, or if he had handled everything properly from the beginning, Wan Ning would still be a member of the He family.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Qin Wanning exchanged a glance with Madam Qin, who then said to He Wen, "Master He, let A-Ning handle things here. I have some questions for you."

He Wen paused for a moment, nodded, and followed Madam Qin out.

The two arrived at the courtyard of Qinfang Courtyard. After the maids served tea, Madam Qin said to He Wen in a calm tone, "Let them all leave!"

He Wen waved his hand, signaling the maids to leave.

"What does Madam wish to say?"

Madam Qin voiced Qin Wanning's doubts: "Ning'er suspects that there is something wrong with the concubine Yu you brought back. Has Master He investigated her?"

He Wen shook his head, then looked surprised and realized what Madam Qin meant.

When He Wen found He Yulin that day, he was so drunk that he was unconscious. In addition, Aunt Yu was crying so sincerely that He Wen was worried that things would get out of hand and ruin He Yulin's reputation. So He Wen did not investigate carefully and took the two of them back to the He residence.

"Does Madam mean that there's something wrong with Concubine Yu?"

"Hmm." Madam Qin said, "Ning'er thought about Guan Yan's words carefully and felt that something was not right. From the time Guan Yan went out to move the carriage to his return, only a quarter of an hour had passed. Perhaps nothing had happened at all. According to Guan Yan's words, Young Master He's mental breakdown was caused by this incident. Perhaps this is the way to resolve his inner conflict."

After hearing this, He Wen's previously ashen face gradually regained its radiance.

He rose and bowed deeply to Madam Qin, saying, "Thank you, Madam."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall with a sullen face.

Madam Qin did not ask what He Wen planned to do, but instead beckoned to her son who was standing outside the door.

"Lang'er!"

Qin Lang was somewhat reluctant, "Mom, can you just call out directly? Waving like this sounds like calling a dog!"

Seeing his reluctant expression, Madam Qin still stepped in and said with a smile, "You've been calling me 'Mother' for twenty years now, you'll get used to it."

Then he added, "Go and help investigate. Do both things quickly so we can finish dealing with the He family's affairs sooner, and Ning'er can return to the Western Territory with us as soon as possible."

When Qin Lang was asked about Qin Wanning, he reluctantly agreed.

If it weren't for his own sister, he wouldn't bother with the mess that is the He family.

*

Everyone left the room, leaving only Qin Wanning and He Yulin inside.

Since the investigation into Aunt Yu's matter had only just begun and the outcome was still unknown, Qin Wanning didn't mention it, lest He Yulin be disappointed after having hope.

He walked to the table, ladled a bowl of thin five-nut porridge from a porcelain cup, sat down by the bed, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently to make sure it wasn't too hot, and then brought it to He Yulin's lips.

He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for two days, and his lips had started to crack.

However, even with the porridge offered to his mouth, He Yulin refused to open his mouth, staring blankly ahead.

After all, they had been married for more than two years. Seeing He Yulin like this, Qin Wanning's eyes gradually reddened.

“I will stay at the He residence for the time being, but I am still in my postpartum period and should not overwork myself. Can you bear to see me heartbroken and exhausted?”

Upon hearing this, He Yulin's eyelashes trembled, and he slightly opened his mouth, allowing Qin Wanning to feed him porridge.

When Qin Wanning came last time, she knew that He Yulin had not completely lost his mind, but was in too much pain and couldn't forget, which was why he hurt himself.

With too much pain weighing on his heart, He Yulin truly didn't want to live anymore.

But the pain will eventually fade, just not now. She was betting that He Yulin still cared about her. Sure enough, as soon as she said those words, He Yulin obediently began to eat.

Due to various misunderstandings, the two of them did not say goodbye properly.

This month is a time for the two of you to say goodbye and slowly let go of the sweetness and pain of the past.
