Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 463: Chapter 463 My Eyes Have Been Sullied

Thus, the two of them prepared to take separate actions. Huo Jingrui reminded Yunyi, ”Yi’er, that Zhong Liyuan is not as harmless as she appears. You must be careful.”

Yunyi nodded. ”I understand. You should also be cautious. That man managed to stay out of trouble tonight, which means he’s no simple character.”

Huo Jingrui nodded at Yunyi and pursued the man. As for the space they had just entered, he couldn’t spare it a thought right now. It would be better to ask Yi’er about it later.

Meanwhile, Yunyi headed straight for the mountains, planning to cross over to Songling Village.

Having an advantage really speeds things up. Half an hour later, Yunyi arrived outside Zhong Liyuan’s residence. Seeing the courtyard was pitch-dark, she directly released her spiritual power to investigate.

With this probe, she saw something she shouldn’t have. Oh no, my eyes have been tainted!

What was going on with Zhong Liyuan? On the surface, she seemed to be following Zheng Xuewen to the countryside, but behind the scenes, she had been trying to get together with Lun Huaijing all along. But what was this current situation? She had just returned from delivering a message outside and immediately jumped into bed with a man. Could she actually be a female player?

She had intended to retract her spiritual power, but she wanted to see who the man on the kang bed was.

Thankfully, the two were covered with a quilt—otherwise, I’d really need to wash my eyes out. However, this closer look left her stunned. The one rolling on the kang bed with Zhong Liyuan was Guo Aibing, who had come to the countryside with Lun Huaijing!

What did this mean? Did Zhong Liyuan fail to win over Lun Huaijing, so she turned her attention to subverting his close friend instead?

To complete the mission at any cost... I really don’t know what to say.

Just as she was about to withdraw her spiritual power, she heard Zhong Liyuan say, ”Have you thought about what I said before?”

He gasped in response, ”My queen, I’ll listen to you. Just give it to me, quick.”

Zhong Liyuan, however, deliberately frustrated him. ”But I’m still an untouched maiden. What if you pull up your trousers and refuse to acknowledge me afterward?”

Guo Aibing was now at the point of no return. ”Haven’t we already agreed? Even for Yuran’s sake, I couldn’t possibly go back on my word.”

Despite what she said, Zhong Liyuan was inwardly retching with disgust. If Lun Huaijing hadn’t been so resistant to all her tactics, she wouldn’t have had to sacrifice her innocence to this scoundrel, Guo Aibing.

But her time was running short. If she couldn’t marry into the Lun Family as per the instructions from her superiors, she feared the final outcome would be death. Therefore, she absolutely could not become an expendable pawn.

Zhong Liyuan, perhaps having heard the answer she wanted, let out even louder, more suggestive cries.

Yunyi withdrew her spiritual power and headed for the straw hut in Nanbai Village.

Yuan Zining was the first to hear something outside. ”Who is it?”

Yunyi whispered, ”It’s me.”

Upon hearing Yunyi’s voice, Yuan Zining immediately jumped off the kang bed. The moment the door opened, he said, ”Martial Aunt, come in quickly.”

After letting Yunyi in, Yuan Zining whispered, ”Martial Aunt, please stand still. I’ll light the oil lamp.”

Yuan Yuxun, who was on the kang bed, also spoke, ”Yunyi.”

Yunyi quickly responded, ”Master, it’s me. I’m all right, so please don’t worry.”

Yuan Zining fumbled his way to the table and lit the lamp.

The grandfather and grandson looked Yunyi up and down several times. Seeing that she was indeed unharmed, they finally felt relieved.

Yunyi had been worried about causing them concern, so she had changed out of her bloodstained clothes before coming over.

Yuan Yuxun didn’t ask many questions about what had happened. Seeing that she was fine, he set his mind at ease.

Yuan Zining lowered his voice and said, ”Yesterday evening, the village head came to inform us that we are not to leave the sheep pen area. We also have to watch over the lambs and ensure no one harms them.”

Yunyi understood immediately upon hearing this. The higher-ups must have sent a directive to the village.

Yunyi had also come to reassure them. She lifted the cover of the back basket she had prepared in advance and took out some vegetables and grain. ”Master, later you two should hide these things well. Too much has been happening these past few days, and I’m afraid I won’t have time to come over.”

Yuan Yuxun pulled out various medical case files he had written from under the straw at the foot of the kang bed. ”Take these back with you to study for now. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll explain it to you next time you visit.”

Yunyi accepted them. ”Alright. I’ve nearly finished reading the ones you gave me last time. We can discuss them during my next visit. I still have other matters to attend to. You two should also get some sleep quickly, so you won’t be tired for work tomorrow.”

Seeing that she was alright, the grandfather and grandson finally felt reassured. After Yunyi left, they closed the door securely, climbed back onto the kang bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
