Chapter 164 Can You Stop Running Away?
"No need, you are the legal wife, just follow the rules."
Fu Yansheng's answer was cold and distant, and every word was like an icicle, piercing Ling Mohui's heart and causing pain.
Ling Mohui couldn't help but complain in her heart, this so-called "legal wife", whoever wants to be it can be it! But on the surface, she remained calm, just hoping that all this would end as soon as possible.
"It's decided, all of you retreat!"
Fu Yansheng waved his hand gently, and the servants quickly dispersed, leaving the room in silence.
The alert servant closed the door silently, leaving Ling Mohui alone in this slightly depressing space.
Her heart was filled with panic, fearing that if Fu Yansheng was displeased, he would resort to cold violence against her as he had in the past, or even worse.
Just as her thoughts were in a mess and she was trying to find a suitable reason to escape from the room, her unfinished words were interrupted by Fu Yansheng's action.
He pushed her against the door suddenly, and then a passionate and urgent kiss came like a storm, almost catching her off guard.
"Ling Mohui, can you... stop running away?"
There was a barely perceptible hint of fatigue and pleading in his voice.
"Fu Yansheng, I... am a little tired..."
Before Ling Mo finished her reply, her eyes slowly closed and she lost consciousness, as if she had finally collapsed under the heavy burden.
Fu Yansheng quickly caught her who had fallen down and held her tightly in his arms. His steps were a little unsteady and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Somebody come!"
Fu Yansheng's voice echoed throughout the house.
The door swung open, and Mo Yi led a team of people in quickly.
"Someone has drugged us here, take us away quickly!"
As soon as Fu Yansheng finished speaking, he could no longer hold on and fell down with Ling Mohui.
When Ling Mohui opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in another guest room.
"Sister, are you awake? Come and drink the medicine. The incense in the main room has been mixed with drugs. You and your husband have been tricked!"
Ling Zhiyun held the medicine bowl in her hand, her face full of concern, as if she really was an innocent bystander.
When Ling Mohui heard this, she felt a surge of anger in her heart and threw the medicine bowl to the ground, causing porcelain pieces to fly everywhere, making a crisp sound.
"Who else would do such a thing except you?"
Her eyes were sharp as she stared directly at Ling Zhiyun.
Ling Zhiyun remained calm and composed in the face of the mess, with innocence flashing in her clear eyes: "Sister, what are you talking about? I really don't understand you."
Her smile was still gentle, but no one could see the ripples hidden beneath the calmness.
Ling Zhiyun and Xia Ranran worked together tacitly and secretly placed a special drug in an exquisite incense burner. Their purpose was clear and direct.
This forced the newlyweds Ling Mohui and Fu Yansheng to leave the main house in order to prevent them from fulfilling their marriage.
In recent days, Fu Yansheng's attitude towards Ling Mohui has changed subtly. Even Ling Zhiyun, an outsider, can keenly notice this abnormality, not to mention the sensitive and delicate Ling Mohui herself.
However, in this invisible struggle, Ling Mohui couldn't help but feel a hint of ironic gratitude in her heart. If it weren't for Ling Zhiyun, who seemed malicious but actually helped her indirectly, she would probably not be able to cope with Fu Yansheng's increasingly complicated emotional entanglements with her own strength.
"Please leave first. I want to take a short rest."
Ling Mohui leaned back on the bed tiredly and closed her eyes to rest.
Ling Zhiyun did not show any anger at this. She stood up slowly, with a calm tone that could not be ignored: "Sister may not be able to rest for too long. The prefect has prepared a banquet in the banquet hall, and the time is approaching."
"understood."
Ling Mohui responded softly and watched Ling Zhiyun leave.
When Ling Zhiyun's figure disappeared outside the door, the clever little maid Chuntang quietly appeared in the room.
"Miss, I have already checked it out. The drug in the main house was indeed made by Xia Ranran."
Chuntang reported in a low voice.
"As expected."
Ling Mohui lay on the bed. Although she felt weak all over, her mind was clear.
"Young lady is truly a master of foresight, no one can compare to her!"
Chuntang looked full of admiration.
"You should know that I didn't drink the potion Ling Zhiyun gave me, right?"
Ling Mohui smiled, but there was a hint of testing in her eyes.
Chuntang seemed to react at this moment. He quickly lowered his head, lightly touched the scattered fragments on the ground with his fingers, carefully dipped a little of the medicine juice, and licked it secretly.
Seeing this, Ling Mohui could not help but shake her head helplessly.
"It's a good thing you didn't drink it, Miss. The drug is so potent that you would have been unconscious for more than a day if you had drunk it."
Chuntang said seriously.
"Do I need to tell you this?"
Although Ling Mo said this, she felt warm in her heart.
Then, Chuntang took out a delicate little sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Ling Mohui: "Miss, this is the refreshing sachet I specially prepared for you. I guarantee that you will feel refreshed after smelling it!"
Ling Mohui took the sachet and took a deep breath. The rich but not pungent fragrance was like a stream of clear spring water, which instantly made her confused mind gradually clear and her heavy body felt a lot more relaxed.
"Chun Tang, well done!"
Ling Mohui was in high spirits. She changed into gorgeous clothes and set off for the banquet.
On the way, Ling Mo returned outside and met Wei Ruoming and Xia Ranran.
Seeing Wei Ruoming's slightly embarrassed appearance, Xia Ranran stepped forward to help him, but was rejected.
"I can do it myself, don't come over here!"
Wei Ruoming spoke in a firm tone, and he was obviously afraid of having his wound touched.
"But sir, this will make the wound worse and recovery will be more difficult."
Xia Ranran's advice was mixed with worry.
"I'll say it again, don't come near me!"
Wei Ruo was obviously a little impatient. At this moment, his eyes accidentally met Ling Mohui who was walking slowly from a distance. His eyes softened instantly, "Mohui, so you are here to attend the party too."
Ling Mohui bowed at a suitable distance, her voice clear but keeping a distance: "Sir."
This deliberately maintained distance made Wei Ruoming's heart stir. He realized that given her current situation, his approach would only bring her more inconvenience and embarrassment.
So he stopped and responded to Ling Mohui's courtesy with a slight nod.
At the banquet, Ling Zhiyun saw Ling Mohui walking in calmly from afar. The indifference emanating from her bones made a hint of surprise flash in her eyes.
Obviously, Ling Mohui's quick recovery and calmness exceeded her expectations.
As the guests took their seats one after another, Fu Yansheng and Xia Yunfeng walked into the hall side by side, attracting a lot of attention.
"Regarding that matter, I have ordered a thorough investigation and will give the Prime Minister and his wife a satisfactory answer!"
Xia Yunfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and solemnly apologized to Fu Yansheng.
Fu Yansheng replied calmly, "I'll have to trouble you, Lord Xia, with this matter. I won't be able to let go until I find out who is behind this."
Xia Yunfeng quickly lowered his head and agreed readily, and the atmosphere became solemn for a moment.
