My First Husband After Transmigration

Chapter 67

After unraveling the secret of the Tang family's painting, the possibility that Madam Ye was the murderer was indeed very high; now, the only worry was the lack of evidence. But to her utter surprise, more scandalous news about Madam Ye had surfaced!

But that person definitely shouldn't be Lin Xing. If Madam Ye really had a secret affair with him, why would she kill him? Even if she wanted to silence him, she should have done it before everyone arrived at Tang Family Fortress. Wouldn't that have been cleaner?

But if it wasn't Lin Xing, then who was it? And who killed Lin Xing? This case is getting more and more unpredictable...

Let's go and discuss it with He Bi and the others first.

Yang Nianqing looked at her arm with a sense of frustration. She had gone out for a trip and ended up with an injury. Fortunately, it was just a minor scratch. She usually didn't like to use medicine for these kinds of minor injuries, especially since the ointment here was all dark and unsightly, and easy to spot.

A sorrowful sigh.

In a daze, it seemed as if a dark shadow silently swept past overhead.

At the same time, Yang Nianqing suddenly shivered, immediately looked up, and nervously and fearfully looked around. Only after confirming that there was nothing there did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Are you seeing things?

She touched her chest; her heart was still pounding. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Thinking about the assassination attempt last time, she felt a chill of fear and quickly walked towards the courtyard.

"Has Miss Yang finally decided to come back?"

Unfortunately, Yang Nianqing was very unlucky. As soon as she stepped into the room, she heard a voice that was so magnetic that she knew who it was without even having to think.

Just what I feared most happened! She immediately hid her right hand behind her back.

Dressed in snow-white, Li You indeed sat in a chair, watching her with great interest.

If he knew, he would definitely make sarcastic remarks again.

Yang Nianqing took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, walked to the table, picked up her tea and took a sip, and asked him first, "Where have you all been today? You haven't even taken care of the important business!"

Li You simply looked at her without answering.

Does he know or not?

Yang Nianqing felt guilty: "What are you looking at?"

Li You scrutinized her for a long time, a thoughtful expression gradually appearing on his handsome face: "Why do I feel that some people are afraid?"

My hand trembled.

Did he already know about my outing with Tang Keyou and was deliberately testing me? It was just hanging out with friends, was it really necessary to act like this? Of course, he just didn't tell you beforehand…

"What...am I afraid of!" His confidence was ultimately somewhat lacking.

A mischievous glint flashed in his long, bright eyes: "Of course Miss Yang isn't afraid. Only those who have done something wrong are afraid."

Yang Nianqing couldn't help but sneer, angrily saying, "You did this on purpose! Stop pretending with me, just say what you want to say, who did the wrong thing, explain yourself!"

Li You touched his ear and smiled wryly: "It's been a long time since I've experienced your lion's roar, young lady, it seems you've improved quite a bit."

Yang Nianqing pouted, then muttered, "I just... I just went out for a trip, what's the big deal..."

"come over."

She was stunned: "Huh?"

Li You sighed: "Come here."

Her voice was as magnetic as ever, without a trace of anger, incredibly gentle yet not excessive, exactly the kind of voice girls love, like a warm spring breeze or a gently flowing stream.

Unfortunately, upon hearing the excellent sound effects, Yang Nianqing not only didn't go over, but instead trembled all over and reflexively took two steps back: "What, what are you doing?"

Li You looked at her with amusement: "Afraid to come over? Afraid of me?"

Yang Nianqing immediately glared at him: "Who's afraid of you?"

"Then why don't you dare come over?"

"Uh, who's afraid..." She was incredibly frustrated inside, but on the surface she pretended to be nonchalant and forced herself to walk up to him. "Come on, come on, what's the big deal..."

Before she could finish speaking, she had already fallen into his arms.

She was startled: "You..."

What is he trying to do? Last time, Tang Keyou only hugged him, and he kissed him. This time, the intimate contact is even more serious... Oh no... it's not innocent!

The facts soon proved that she was indeed not pure—Li You quickly grabbed her right hand, rolled up her sleeve, and the scars on her forearm were immediately revealed.

His long eyebrows slowly furrowed.

After a while.

He suddenly pushed her away, stood up, and walked quickly out the door without saying a word.

Yang Nianqing remained silent as she watched his retreating figure.

Is he angry? He went out with Tang Keyou without saying a word, and didn't ask anyone to tell her. He must have been worried the whole time. Now that he's come back like this, if it were me, I'd probably be angry too.

"Forget it!" she couldn't help but glare at the door, saying pettily, "What a narrow-minded man! He just went out for a stroll, and he throws a tantrum without even listening to explanations, getting jealous for no reason!"

A wave of resentment washed over her, and the pain in her hand suddenly subsided. This time he seemed genuinely angry; she'd never seen him so serious before…

Yang Nianqing sat there in a daze.

Suddenly, a white figure flashed in, and then his arm was raised again.

Those long, lovely eyelashes were so close, yet they barely fluttered; they simply curled up proudly and joyfully, making Yang Nianqing almost want to reach out and touch them.

His touch was very light, and he felt no pain at all.

Yang Nianqing looked curiously at the ointment on his hand: "Where did this come from?"

"Stolen from Lao Qiu."

steal?

Yang Nianqing suddenly felt amused. Could it be that he got addicted to stealing after his last experience as a thief?

"Aren't you afraid of being caught by He Bi?"

"He can't catch me."

...

Seeing his serious expression, she felt increasingly guilty and finally lowered her head: "Actually...actually, it was Young Master Tang who invited me out for a walk, and I...I went out with him for a while, I never expected this to happen..."

There was no response.

Yang Nianqing glanced at him furtively and muttered, "I know it's wrong to run off to play without saying anything, but it was such a surprise, and you weren't there..."

After a while.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Yang Nianqing repeated Tang Keyou's words, omitting other details.

She muttered to herself, "I wonder who that man is. He came to see Madam Ye the night before Lord Tang disappeared... It's too much of a coincidence. Tang Keyou has always suspected it was Lin Xing."

Li You frowned, but remained silent.

Yang Nianqing couldn't hold back any longer: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Upon hearing this, Li You finally released her hand, glanced at her, and sighed, "Even if I don't say anything, some people are already feeling guilty."

Feeling guilty?

Yang Nianqing muttered angrily, "Explain yourself clearly! What do I have to be guilty about? That's how it is. I just went out to have some fun, I didn't do anything... Hmph... Guilty? I think you're the one with kidney deficiency!"

A cough.

Li You looked at her with a half-smile, his expression really strange.

Ahhh~! This...this...

Yang Nianqing's face was burning hot, and she wanted to slap herself to death. "5555 Modern advertising is really harmful. Back then, those lecherous men and women made up this catchphrase based on some kidney-tonifying advertisement. They often used it to argue. I never thought that now, in a fit of anger, they would use it without thinking!"

But this isn't the 21st century, where lustful men and women abound; this is ancient times, a feudal society! Good heavens! Why him again? A playboy must know what "kidney deficiency" means!

what to do……

She hung her head, racking her brains for a solution, but before she could come up with one, she noticed that Li You had already turned his gaze toward the door, his expression even more strange.

What is he looking at?

Yang Nianqing looked curiously towards the door.

At the doorway, two people stood side by side.

He Bi only looked at Li You, her originally indifferent eyes now full of amusement; Nangong Xue seemed a little embarrassed as well, and could only smile and glance at her before quickly looking away.

Everything went black.

Right now, the only thought in Yang Nianqing's mind was: Let me die!

The next moment, she immediately dismissed the idea of suicide—calm down, calm down… These ancient men weren't as lecherous as modern men; they wouldn't think that far ahead…

"Heh...you...have come..." The laughter seemed to be trembling.

Judging from their expressions, it was almost impossible for them not to know about this. However, Yang Nianqing felt that it was enough to fool herself. Since transmigrating, she had survived poisoning and assassination attempts. If she were to die of shame, how could she face anyone?

So, with a sliver of hope and a self-deceiving attitude, Yang Nianqing raised her eyes again, only to be met with utter despair—Qiu Bailu was behind her too!

Now I can't even fool myself anymore; which doctor wouldn't know I have kidney deficiency?

He Bi sat down and looked at Li You: "I wondered why you had changed your ways. So that's why."

Li You was both amused and exasperated.

Qiu Bailu looked at him and smiled faintly, "It's a pity you don't know medicine and the medicine you stole is wrong. You should have told me sooner, and I could have given you a prescription."

After listening to their back-and-forth banter, Yang Nianqing finally came to her senses and inwardly cried out in alarm.

Oh no, this person definitely won't let me off the hook!

"Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best," she thought, and immediately grinned foolishly, "It's good that you're here. Let's talk slowly... I have something to do, I'll go check on Sisi first..."

You should stand up and slip away.

Unexpectedly, Li You patted her arm, pressed her down into a chair, and said with a wry smile, "Miss, some things shouldn't be said carelessly."

They're doomed!

Yang Nianqing struggled a few times, but finding it futile, she could only glare at him helplessly and frustratedly: "Why are you pulling me? You can't expect me to correct you, can you? How am I supposed to prove this..."

Qiu Bailu glanced at her: "I didn't expect that you, a young lady, would have such good medical skills. You saw his problem at a glance."

They're clearly enjoying the show!

"Uh...actually, I don't know either," Yang Nianqing said with an awkward, forced laugh, imagining the expression on her face. "I heard it from someone else, haha..."
