Zhou Yu’s study was a small courtyard. Wu Hen lived in the second room on the east side. Meng Wan raised her hand and pushed open the door.

The yard was quiet. Meng Wan first went to the upper room. There was no one in the room. He called Xue Fu twice and then called Seventh Sister, but no one answered.

Meng Wan left the upper room and stood on the veranda, looking around, wondering what everyone was doing and why there was no one there. Just as he was thinking, he heard a sound coming from Wu Hen's room, and he walked over there.

The door of Wu Hen's room was half-open, and Meng Wan walked in. The room was not big, but it was very tidy. The furniture was also very simple, with a bed, a table, a stool, a cabinet, and a washing rack at the door.

Wu Hen was opening the cabinet with his left hand and taking out a box from it. His right arm was bare. Perhaps he wanted to put the box on the table, but he didn't have the strength, so he had to support the box with his shoulder.

Meng Wan took a few quick steps and took the box from Wu Hen. Wu Hen exhaled, "How did you come back so quickly?"

When she turned around and found that it was Meng Wan, her face immediately turned red and she felt unnatural, "Second Madam, why are you here? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

As he spoke, he reached for the shirt hanging on the hanger and tried to put it on, but he was so flustered that he couldn't put it on.

Meng Wan chuckled, "What's wrong, Brother Wu? It's not like I've seen you shirtless before. I came here specially to see you. Do you want to apply some medicine? Let me take a look." After saying that, he walked closer to Wu Hen.

Wu Hen seemed to be petrified, standing there in a daze, allowing Meng Wan to gently lift his right arm and look at the wound carefully.

"Oh, isn't this the same injury from that year? No wonder it's so serious." Meng Wan said as he quickly opened the box he had just brought and took out the medicine bottle from it.

"Please sit down. This way it will be easier for me to apply the medicine. This is what the Second Master brought back last night. Qingning prescribed it for you. You should use this medicine for the next ten days."

Wu Hen thought for a moment and sat down. Meng Wan gently wiped the wound with a wet handkerchief. Wu Hen was injured that year and a large piece of flesh was scraped off his right arm. Although it has grown back now, it is not as good as before. That part of the arm is obviously much thinner, and there is a very hideous scar.

"Does it hurt?" Meng Wan asked Wu Hen, who was sitting straight like a red cherry spear, while wiping it.

"It doesn't hurt." He responded, but his face suddenly turned to look out the window.

You little brat, you're still embarrassed! Meng Wan smiled secretly as she looked at Wu Hen's slightly red ears. She recalled the few short days they had spent together outside the city that year. Time had passed so quickly.

Seeing that Meng Wan didn't ask any more questions, Wu Hen slowly turned back and looked at Meng Wan who was lowering his head and applying medicine to him seriously.

The sun shone into the room through the window lattice and the half-open door, casting a soft light on Meng Wan's head, just like in a dream, as if he saw the little girl who could still eat and drink to her heart's content even though she looked at his wounds. This feeling was exactly how Wu Hen felt now, he wanted to hold his breath, as if an unintentional breath would desecrate this beauty.

A strand of Meng Wan's hair fell out from her forehead, and it fluttered with her movements. Wu Hen had the urge to go up and gently tuck it behind her ear. His left hand rubbed gently on his knee, and the sweat in his palm made his pants wrinkled.

Wu Hen felt his throat was dry, as if it was smoking, and it felt like many small insects were crawling from his mouth to his throat, making him itch badly. But he didn't dare to say a word, and just looked at Meng Wan quietly, with her smooth forehead, white cheeks, black hair and cherry red lips...

Meng Wan's movements were gentle, and since he had done this before, he was very fast. Fortunately, the flesh there had grown out, and although it was a little scary with its pink color, I think with Wu Hen's skills and perseverance, it wouldn't take long for him to be able to move freely.

After applying the medicine, he changed the bandage and wrapped it around his neck.

"Thank you." Wu Hen's voice came from beside me.

"What are you thanking me for? It's just a piece of cake." Meng Wan turned around and looked at Wu Hen with a smile. "Remember to ask Xue Fu or Seventh Sister to change your medicine every day."

"Not today, but those days when I was seriously injured. Thank you."

"Ah? It happened so long ago. It's not worth it. Besides, I have something to ask of you."

"Whatever it is, just speak up, Second Madam. I, Wu Hen, will not hesitate even for a moment, no matter how dangerous the situation."

"Haha, what have I done to make you go through mountains of swords and seas of fire? I just want to ask you to teach me the kung fu that allows me to fly around?" Meng Wan said as he made a flying gesture with his hands.

Wu Hen looked at the woman standing in front of him against the light, her vivid expression, exaggerated posture, and clear voice, and a soft spot in his heart was instantly broken once again.

How he wished this moment would stop forever.

There was another person who was instantly defeated. That was Cai'er who had been standing outside the window watching them.

Cai'er slowly squatted down holding the bag. She couldn't believe her eyes, but she had to believe her eyes.

She knew the owner of the handkerchief that Wu Hen treasured, and also guessed the person in Wu Hen's heart that Xue Fu mentioned.

How could it be her? How could it be the Second Mistress? If not her, who else could it be? Just now when the Second Mistress was applying medicine to him, she didn't know how Wu Hen looked at her, but Cai'er, who was standing outside, saw it clearly.

Wu Hen looked at Second Grandma with eyes that were so gentle that they seemed to drip with water, with a smile on his lips, so satisfied, so happy, so attached. It was as if he was appreciating a treasure, quietly, and carefully collecting it as if he was afraid of breaking it.

Cai'er's tears flowed down. If it was someone else, she would still have confidence, but that was the Second Grandma. How could she erase the Second Grandma from Wu Hen's heart? She couldn't erase it. Listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Hen's feelings for the Second Grandma were not just an impulse, but an accumulation after time settled.

Moreover, Wu Hen clearly knew the identity of the Second Wife, but he still retained his feelings for her. What does this show? It shows that he enjoys it and cherishes it. He will guard this impossible relationship and live his whole life with this little joy.

Cai'er wiped her eyes. She couldn't lose her composure here. Even if they knew, she wouldn't tell anyone. Not only would she not tell anyone, she would keep it a secret for both of them. No, she would keep it a secret for Wu Hen himself.

And she will stick to her original intention. Isn't it that Wu Hen likes someone else, and she likes Wu Hen. Since Wu Hen can like someone silently, then Shi Caier can do the same. She believes that in time, she will definitely move Wu Hen.

The day when the Ding family proposed to Zhou Yinghan was very lively. The second and third branches of the Zhou family and everyone in the Zhou family were there. The female family members had just returned to Junyueju from Zhou Yinghan's courtyard and were discussing the Ding family's betrothal gift.

The Ding family showed enough attention and satisfaction to this marriage. Although they ran an academy, they did not expect that there would be so many rare treasures, even antiques from previous dynasties, which were very precious.

Zhou Yingrong was almost four months pregnant, so her belly was slightly bulging and her whole body was plump. Meng Wan gently supported her and walked towards Junyueju.

"It seems that the Ding family is still very wealthy." Meng Wan said softly.

"Of course. Although the Ding family is a family of scholars, their students are all over the world. Those who graduated from their academy and passed the imperial examinations, which one of them didn't go back to visit during the holidays? Not to mention how many third and fourth rank officials in Beijing came from the Ding family academy." Zhou Yingrong was very satisfied with the marriage she had found for Zhou Yinghan.

"Thanks to our early action, after the second sister and I made the decision, many people asked Madam Ding about it. At that time, after Ayu and I made the decision, I didn't get any definite news from you, and I was extremely anxious."

Meng Wan laughed, "We can't just say it out loud. We have to make Concubine Li show her sincerity in exchange. Fortunately, the result is what we wanted."

Zhou Yingrong smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of person you are. Even if Concubine Li didn't say anything in the end, you would still help my second sister get married."

Meng Wan held Zhou Yingrong's arm tightly, "We can't just watch her being pushed onto the kang by the princess. This woman's marriage is her second reincarnation."

Zhou Yingrong stopped and looked at Meng Wan steadily, "You are right, a woman's marriage is her second reincarnation. We both got the right reincarnation the second time, but my mother got the wrong one."

"Don't worry, big sister. Ayu and I have more and more evidence in our hands. Now we just need an opportunity. To be precise, we have to wait until the princess pays us back or avenges her for all the evil she has done before we can show our cards."

Zhou Yingrong continued to walk slowly, "Did Aunt San agree to it?"

"She didn't say it explicitly. She just came to see me when I had a miscarriage last time and talked about my mother's dowry. She said that if I needed her cooperation, she would definitely help."

"She's still too cautious."

"If she wasn't careful, she wouldn't have been able to bring Cousin Jun to where he is now. I don't blame her. No one would easily change the current situation that is not bad unless they are sure of it. I thought that after I finish fighting with Mrs. Hu over my mother's dowry, Aunt Three would naturally tell me in detail what she knew back then."

Zhou Yingrong nodded and patted the back of Meng Wan's hand that was across her arm. "Whatever she said would only be icing on the cake. What did Concubine Li say to you?"

"It's about one of the prince's concubines."

"Aunt Yu?"

"Yes, Ayu will tell Big Sister about the specific situation when there is a chance. It is not convenient to say too much today."

Zhou Yingrong nodded, thinking about Aunt Yu's face that was 60% similar to Yan Fu's. She wondered what her father's expression would be when he knew the true cause of death of the aunt he loved.
