Chapter 410: Wife Has Something on Her Mind

“Wife, is it done? Is it done?”

He repeated the question twice, indicating just how bored he had become waiting.

Liu Shimei held his hand and motioned for him to sit back on the cushion. She said, “Not yet. I just had the acupuncture done. I’ll have to wait a bit to have the needles removed. I was worried you’d get bored, so I came out to check on you.” “Oh.” The silly puppy’s expression instantly darkened.

Seeing him like this, Liu Shimei sighed softly and said, “In the future, when I’m working, you shouldn’t come along. Otherwise, you’ll be so bored, won’t you?”

She intended to specialize in gynecology in her medical career, and most of her patients would be women. Even if he was a bit foolish, he was still an adult man. She did not see anything wrong with it, but others would surely mind. They would have to avoid this every time they went out!

“Huh?” The silly puppy looked disappointed and asked, “Wife, do you think I’m in the way?”

While he said this, Huangfu Lingyao carefully observed her expression, sensing a slight change in her emotions.

He thought to himself, ‘Did Old Madam Zhang say something to upset her?’

Anyway, seeing her unhappy made him uncomfortable.

But he could not ask directly, so he tried a roundabout approach, saying, “Wife, what kind of illness are you treating? Is Old Madam Zhang a difficult person to deal with?”

From what he remembered, Grand Secretary Zhang’s wife was very kind. He had not interacted with her since she lived a reclusive life and was unfamiliar.

“How could she be difficult? The Zhang family is quite friendly; they’re nice people,” Liu Shimei smiled at him and continued, “Lingyao, do you always think that wherever I go, someone might bully me? Am I that easy to bully?” Huangfu Lingyao’s thin lips tightened, and he remained silent. Instead, he looked at her with a knowing gaze, as if to say: Isn’t that right?

His thoughts were even more straightforward, ‘Although my wife can be quite domineering at times, she’s also very soft-hearted. She doesn’t have any defenses against me. She’s so easily deceived. What if she gets duped by someone else when she’s out?’

“Don’t worry, everything’s fine,” Liu Shimei rea.s.sured him.

“But why do I feel like you have something on your mind, Wife?” Huangfu Lingyao thought for a moment and decided to ask directly.

Liu Shimei was momentarily stunned. She touched her own face and said, “Do I look like I have something on my mind?”

Perhaps she did, as she was thinking about Liang Ruyi’s situation. Because of Madam w.a.n.g’s mention, Liu Shimei could not help but think more about the darker aspects of human nature.

Marrying Liu Fuyun was Liang Ruyi’s own choice, a choice based on love. But clearly, Liu Fuyun was not the best partner. Wasn’t this love tainted with impurities?

It was somewhat like the character Duan w.a.n.gye in ‘Demi-G.o.ds and

Semi-Devils’. He loved every woman deeply, as if he had ten fingers and did not want to lose a single one!

But Liu Fuyun was a person driven by greed. Wasn’t he a scoundrel who might have deceived emotions?

Subsequent events confirmed Liang Wei’s dissatisfaction with this marriage: A beautiful young woman died at a young age, leaving the position of the main wife vacant, which was promptly filled by a concubine. Although she left behind an outstanding son and daughter, her son died at a young age as well!

After much thought, Liu Shimei had a bold idea: Since her brother’s death might have been a murder, what about her mother’s death?

After all, the incident from ten years ago was much more distant, and there was no rush to investigate it. While looking into the cause of Liu Quan’s death, perhaps they could also explore the possibility that Liang Ruyi was murdered. “Wife… Wife…”

The silly dog tugged at her sleeve, pulling her thoughts back.

Liu Shimei turned and smiled at him, saying, “This isn’t the right place to talk. Let’s go back and discuss it.”

Huangfu Lingyao stared at her for a moment, then nodded.

So, she really did have something on her mind!

When she was not looking at him, he glanced outside the Buddha Hall and thought, ‘What did they say that made my wife unhappy?’

But, upon reflection, the situation in Zhang Residence should be okay.

However, as for the Miao family….
