Chapter 123: Xu Wanting's Suspicion

  The horse carriage continued to move forward, when suddenly Yao Cunhui clutched her chest and let out a loud cry of pain, her body involuntarily falling backwards. Xiao Xing shouted "Second Miss!" and hurriedly supported her.

  "Second sister! What's wrong with you!" Xie Fu Yun was also shocked.

  "Brother-in-law..." Yao Cunhui leaned on Xiao Xing's shoulder, her small face deathly pale with not a hint of blood color, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, her body lightly trembling. In an instant, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, which gathered and flowed slowly down the sides of her face.

  "Sister-in-law, I...I..." Yao Cunhui's hand clutched at her heart, the pain was so intense that she couldn't speak. She didn't know what was happening, it came out of nowhere and suddenly she was in agony. Her mind was a jumble, as if one hand was forcibly tearing her body and soul apart, while another hand was forcing her soul back into her body. What was the original Yao Cunhui doing? She had no idea! All she knew was that she was in so much pain she could hardly breathe and felt like she was dying!

  "Hurry up and go to the doctor's!" Xie Fu Yun shouted loudly, flustered and at a loss: "Second sister, second sister, hold on, we'll be at the doctor's in a moment, just a moment more!"

  Xu Wanting was first startled, then secretly delighted. Seeing Xie Fu's worried face, she felt a sour taste in her heart and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, Hui sister is a divine doctor herself, how could she not know her own body condition? She'll definitely be fine!"

  "Shut up!" Xie Fu Yun glared at her fiercely.

  Xu Wantong was shocked and stunned, moving her lips but dared not make a sound, feeling wronged in her heart, tears welled up in her eyes.

  Since childhood, when has Big Brother He ever treated himself with such an attitude? Never! But he did it today for Yao Cun Hui——

  Xu Wantong's body trembled slightly, her pretty face suddenly lost all color, and her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. "Yao Cunhui! Yao Cunhui!" Her eyes were fixed on Yao Cunjia, who was now pregnant, but he couldn't see her at all. Could it be... could it be because of Yao Cunhui? Could he have taken a liking to Yao Cunhui?!

  Xu Wantong was secretly shocked, and with a cold eye, she looked closely, and the more she looked, the more alike they seemed, the more they were. Moreover, regardless of whether Xie Fu Yun had any intention, Yao Cun Hui obviously also had intention!

  Do you want sisters to share a husband? The people of the Yao family are really shameless! Xu Wanting was secretly angry.

  "Zhu'er, come quickly and help! What are you standing there for, hurry up!" Xǔ Yuànzhú snapped back to reality, the carriage had already stopped in front of a medical clinic, Xiè Fǔ yùn was scolding her maid.

  Zhu'er saw that her master had no objection, and hastily agreed. She went forward with Xiao Xing, one on the left and one on the right, to support Yao Cunhui. Xie Fu Yun, who was standing aside, repeatedly said "Be careful!" and got out of the carriage first, lifted the curtain, and together they helped Yao Cunhui down.

  Yao Cunhui lay on the couch inside the medical hall, still covering her mouth and panting heavily, the hairpin at her temple was already soaked through with sweat, her small face as white as a palm, without a hint of blood color.

  The doctor felt her pulse only to find that it was racing and urgent, unlike ordinary people. The gas and blood in her body were surging violently, but apart from this, she had no discomfort, and in his heart, he also had some doubts.

  "Doctor, do you have any strong liquor here? Give me two cups of scalding hot wine, or Suhe wine will do." Yao Cunhui glanced at him and gently withdrew her hand.

  "Is there any? If not, I'll have someone go buy some!" Xie Fu Yun saw that the doctor was getting impatient.

  "Ah, yes, yes!" The doctor hastily nodded.

  Xie Fu Yun turned his head to look at Xiao Xing, and before he could instruct her, she hastily said: "Thank you, Doctor, for showing the way. I'll go heat up some wine for Miss myself!"

  "Alright, alright!" The doctor replied, leading Xiaoying away.

  "Second sister, Hui'er, how are you?" Xie Fu Yun lightly sighed and turned her head to glance at the pearl-like beads: "Wipe Hui'er's sweat, go!"

  Zhu'er didn't dare not listen, and hurriedly nodded in agreement to go forward and wipe the sweat for Yao Cunhui. Yao Cunhui smiled and nodded her head in gratitude. The sweat trickled down her face like a small insect crawling, making her feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to trouble Zhu'er. By the way, Xu Wantu's face turned black as coal on one side.

  "Is it a bit better?" Xie Fu's heart was anxious. If his wife and sister-in-law didn't have anything to do, how would he explain it to his daughter-in-law when he got back?

  Yao Cunhui nodded slightly and said "uh-huh", still in pain, but perhaps the numbness had set in, and the sensation was no longer as intense as before.

  Before long, Xiao Xing brought over some hot wine and, along with Zhu'er, carefully served it to Yao Cunhui. The scalding liquid went down her throat and into her belly, and her internal organs suddenly felt a wave of heat. Then, the warm sensation slowly spread throughout her limbs, and the stabbing pain in her heart gradually eased. Her tightly strung nerves relaxed slightly, and she lay back on the couch, her tightly furrowed brow also relaxing.

  Xie Fu let out a sigh of relief.

  "Brother-in-law, let's go back to the mansion!" After about a quarter of an hour, the pain had disappeared without a trace, and Yao Cunhui struggled to get up.

  "Are you okay? Take a rest for a while, no need to rush at this time!" Shifu Yun still had some concerns.

  "Do I look like something's wrong? It's fine now!" Yao Cunhui smiled, supporting Xiao Xing's arm as she stepped down from the couch. After a moment's thought, he turned to Xie Fu Yun and Xu Wanzhu and said: "Please keep this matter secret for me today, sister-in-law and cousin. Whatever you do, don't let my sister know - she's still pregnant, and I don't want her to worry!"

  Xie Fu's expression turned stern, and he nodded: "Alright, no one is allowed to mention today's events. Wan'er, do you understand? If Jia'er finds out about anything, I won't let it go lightly!"

  This clearly means doubting herself. Of course, Xu Wanting would not admit that she had this heart to begin with, and at the moment her face was barely nodding in agreement.

  Xie Fu Yun suddenly realized that this seemed to be a slight to Er Mei, and couldn't help but ask Yao Cun Jia: "Is this an old illness of Er Mei's? How did it suddenly break out like this? This is terrible! What if she doesn't guard against it on ordinary days and it happens again, wouldn't that be... Has Er Mei ever sought out famous doctors? We must think of a way to cure her thoroughly!"

  Yao Cunhui smiled wryly, thinking to himself: Is this a chronic illness? Will it suddenly recur in the future? Even I myself can't figure it out. Who should I ask? You're making me feel uncertain now!

  "My brother-in-law has forgotten that I'm also a half-doctor? This isn't an old illness, and I don't know what's wrong with me today! Let's take a closer look when we get back to the capital!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile.

  "Miss, let's prepare some suhe wine for our next outing!" Xiao Xing chimed in from the side.

  "You're clever!" Yao Cunhui chuckled.

  Xie Fu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh too, feeling slightly relieved.

  Then he came out of the medical building, Xie Fu Yun wanted to avoid suspicion and it was not convenient for him to take action personally, so he instructed Zhen Er and Xiao Xing to support and serve Yao Cun Hui together. Seeing this in Xu Wan Zhu's eyes made her even more sour, and she almost bit her silver teeth to pieces!

  Back at the Xie residence, Xu Wanting watched as Xie Yun and Yao Cunhui's servant went to the Ronghua Hall together. Her eyes flickered with uncertainty, and she suddenly let out a cold laugh, feeling a surge of malicious pleasure in her heart: If only Yao Cunjia knew that his own sister had stolen his sweetheart, what would he feel?

  "You say, is Brother Biao being a bit too concerned about this little aunt of his?" Xǔ Yuànzhú still gazed straight ahead, but asked Zhū'ěr beside her.

  Zhu'er didn't understand her implied meaning and said in a low voice, "Young Master Biao is indeed very concerned about Miss Yao Er, seeing that she got sick so suddenly."

  "What I said wasn't that!" Xu Wanting's tone was somewhat impatient, and she turned her head to glare at him: "Tell me, does the second young lady of the Yao family have a crush on my cousin?"

  Pearl blinked, still with a puzzled expression.

  "Idiot!" Xǔ Wǎnzhú directly said: "This second miss of the Yáo family is obviously trying to seduce her own sister's husband, can't you see that?! Brother-in-law is also infatuated, actually letting her... Hmph!"

  "Ah!" Zhu'er's face changed color, and she hastily turned her head to look around, seeing that there was no one nearby before slightly relaxing, then hurriedly leaned in close to Xu Wanting and anxiously said: "Miss, Miss, this matter can't be spoken of casually!"

  Xu Wantong sneered and said, "Can't you see what's going on today? Which younger sister-in-law goes out to play with her brother-in-law? Which brother-in-law is so concerned about his younger sister-in-law?"

  Zhu'er was stunned, thinking that it seemed to be true, and suddenly had nothing to say. After a while, she suddenly blurted out: "Then, then in this case, Miss, aren't you even more hopeless! Ah, I'm so dead, I'm so dead!" Zhu'er came back to her senses and hurriedly slapped herself on the mouth.

  Xu Wanting's face turned gloomy and frightening, coldly staring at Zhu'er, suddenly withdrawing her gaze, lightly saying: "Let's go!"

  Xu Wanting walked silently, but her heart couldn't help but recall Zhu'er's words. If Yao Cunhui really succeeded, wouldn't that mean she would have nothing to do with herself anymore?

  I'm so stupid, I actually thought of leaking this to Yao Cun Jia, wanting to see the two sisters fight each other! Who knows, maybe when the time comes, it's not just sending away a tiger and welcoming a wolf! Even if I were Yao Cun Jia, I'd probably hope that my husband would take in my own sister rather than another woman. After all, it's more convenient to control one's own sisters!

  There is already a Yao Cun Jia, and if there's another Yao Cun Hui, wouldn't that put her at an even greater disadvantage? Xu Wanzhu secretly made up her mind: This situation absolutely cannot occur!

  In the hall of Ruhuatang, Yao Cun Jia heard that they had returned and hurried out of the house with a smile to welcome them.

  Xie Fu Yun saw her and quickly walked up the corridor, took over from Qing He who was supporting her, and smiled: "Waiting in the house isn't the same, why did you come out again?"

  "Let's just take a walk!" Yao Cun Jia smiled and asked: "Is it fun today?"

  "It's fun, the scenery of Xuanwu Lake is very beautiful!" Yao Cunhui smiled and held her sister's hand, saying: "Sister, when you have a child, ask your brother-in-law to take you there too!"

  Xie Fu Yun also smiled and said, "That's right, when you married into our family the weather was still a bit cool, and I didn't take you there either. Later on, after you got pregnant, it was even more impossible to go! Next year I'll definitely take you out for a stroll."

  The little maid lifted the curtain and the three of them entered the house chatting.

  "Hui'er, have you been drinking?" Yao Cun Jia suddenly caught a whiff of alcohol and furrowed his brow slightly. He sniffed again, but couldn't smell any alcohol on Xie Fu Yun's body, which made his expression even more suspicious.

  Yao Cunhui and Xie Fuyun exchanged a silent glance, both of them somewhat at a loss.

  He rushed back from the doctor's office and had overlooked this point!
