Ling Mohan spoke without the slightest hint of embarrassment, instead feeling quite proud, believing his actions were perfectly correct.
He had long since understood that only by listening to Feng Jin and doing as she said would he avoid mistakes. This was the correct answer derived from his accumulated experience.
It was just that Chu Chenyi's cultivation was too shallow; he simply didn't grasp the profound principles.
"You don't feel ashamed but proud? Won't you be embarrassed if this gets out!"
Ling Mohan let out a cold snort, dismissing her with, "What's there to be ashamed of? You're here gossiping about me. Why don't you first think about how to extinguish the raging fire in your own backyard?"
The fire in his backyard was already spreading to the front. Instead of thinking about how to put it out, he was here talking about his affairs. He was truly idle, or perhaps the fire wasn't burning fiercely enough.
"This king has already made a decision, so you don't need to trouble yourself!"
It was merely the trouble caused by those few women of unknown origin. He had already decided that once he returned to the manor, he would simply drive them all away.
Once the people were gone, Lin Yuwei would naturally have no reason to continue causing trouble with him.
"That's good. Just don't come running here to quarrel next time!"
According to the current development, such incidents would be difficult to prevent in the future. It was indeed necessary to tell the servants at the door that when these two arrived again, they should be stopped at the gate first to ascertain the situation before deciding whether to let them in.
After all, this was not an yamen. They couldn't always be solving these matters for the two of them; it would exhaust them to death sooner or later.
"This king has his own judgment and doesn't need your concern."
To preserve his last shred of dignity, Chu Chenyi still forced himself to say it.
His face had already been completely lost. No matter what, he had to painstakingly try to pick it up, to retrieve as much as he could.
...
"Sister Feng Jin..."
Lin Yuwei struggled to open her drowsy eyes. The sight that greeted her was an unfamiliar environment. Noticing Feng Jin sitting beside her, she managed to force out a few words from her throat.
Hearing the movement, Feng Jin's drowsiness vanished instantly. She suddenly opened her eyes, walked towards Lin Yuwei, and asked with concern, "How are you? How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
"I... it hurts... my throat..."
The moment she heard Lin Yuwei say it hurt, her entire heart clenched. When Lin Yuwei finally mentioned her throat hurting, her heart finally settled down completely.
Why had she learned to gasp for breath when speaking? She could have scared her to death.
"Pay attention to how you speak from now on. Don't gasp like that; you almost scared me to death."
She thought she should be almost recovered. Why was she still complaining about pain? It turned out to be a sore throat. She had almost died of worry.
"I... I really hurt..." Lin Yuwei said plaintively.
Feng Jin sighed helplessly. She was truly at a loss for words with her. Who could she blame? It was just her misfortune to have to deal with such a troublesome person as Lin Yuwei. Now, she had no choice but to serve her until the end.
"Your throat hurts because you cried too softly. If you cry louder, your throat won't hurt anymore." Feng Jin rolled her eyes, impressed by her ability to cry for so long. Even Meng Jiang Nü reborn would have to admire Lin Yuwei with utmost respect.
"No... it's all because of..."
Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her throat. It really hurt. Forget about speaking; even swallowing a mouthful of saliva was agonizingly painful.
"Alright, just be quiet for a while. Speak less and rest your throat more. It won't hurt after a while."
She stopped Lin Yuwei, urging her to speak less and take the opportunity to rest well. More importantly, she was also a bit tired and really didn't want to listen to Lin Yuwei's incessant chatter any longer.
"Also, you must never get so angry like this again in the future. This time, you were lucky that I was by your side. Will you have such good luck next time? If you truly injure the fetus in your womb, you will have regrets!"
Feng Jin warned her, as this matter was not trivial. This time, she was lucky to have no serious issues, but who could guarantee it next time? If they continued to toss and turn like this, they would only harm themselves in the end, and even implicate the innocent fetus.
Lin Yuwei also began to worry. This incident had truly frightened her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
She reached out and covered her bulging belly, her heart pounding wildly, suddenly filled with apprehension.
"Sister Feng Jin, is this child really going to be alright?"
If something were to happen to the child, what would she do? She had finally conceived this child, and it had been in her body for four to five months. She already cherished this child more than her own life.
If the child were harmed because of her, she... she would never forgive herself in this lifetime.
Feng Jin reached out and patted Lin Yuwei's slightly cold hand. Her comforting words were exceptionally warm, "Don't worry. As long as you listen to me and rest well, I guarantee the child will be perfectly fine."
Feng Jin's words were like a reassuring pill. Lin Yuwei's restless heart instantly felt much warmer.
"Sister Feng Jin, you must help me protect this child!"
Even now, her heart could not be at ease. She reached out and gently placed her hand on her abdomen, constantly praying in her heart that the child would be safe and sound.
"Alright, don't worry. The most important thing now is for you to rest well. Only when you rest well and your mood is stable can the child be safe and sound."
"I understand, Sister Feng Jin. I'll do as you say."
After this incident, she no longer dared to act out. She had also come to a realization. She didn't care what Chu Chenyi did; as long as she and her child were safe and sound, that would be the best.
She no longer cared about anything else. With her child by her side, she felt her life was complete.
"Just now... just now Chu Chenyi was waiting outside the entire time, and only left after confirming you were safe."
Feng Jin thought about it and felt she should inform Lin Yuwei of this matter. She could also see that Chu Chenyi genuinely cared for Lin Yuwei.
Upon learning that she and the child were in danger, his first choice was Lin Yuwei. This was already very good.
Considering Chu Chenyi's choice, she felt that giving him another chance was not impossible. After all, it took half a year to share the same boat and a thousand years to sleep in the same bed. The bond between husband and wife was even rarer. Since they were already married, they couldn't just fall out of love.
"Sister Feng Jin... I..."
