Reborn Lady - Chapter 193

Yin Wen was disabled, and Yin Hui hadn’t come to visit.

As early as when King Yan was about to pick a bride from the Yin family for his son, her second uncle and second aunt had spread rumors without hesitation, attempting to shift the marriage to cousin Yin Rong. Consequently, Yin Hui and the Fang family had no kinship at all. Her grandfather adopted Yin Lang into her father’s name, tearing apart the superficial harmony between the two houses. When Yin Hui heard about the mistreatment of Liao Qiuniang, she openly sided with the Liao family and even enlisted Liao Shisan into the guard. Therefore, her uncle’s family likely viewed her as an enemy.

At that time, even if she wanted to save face, the second household would not appreciate it, and she had no need for false claims with them.

Just before going to bed, Yin Hui felt uneasy thinking about Yin Wen, a young man now crippled.

The hatred ran deep. Could Yin Wen truly suppress his anger towards Feng Teng?

“Why aren’t you asleep?” Wei Luo’s low voice suddenly came from the bed next to her, so cold that it made one suspect he had been awake all along.

“Is it because I turned over too much?” Yin Hui asked in a low voice.

Wei Luo turned to her side and said, “You seem restless these few days.”

Yin Hui was surprised by his perceptiveness, but since he had observed it all, she thought about it and crawled into his bed, hugged him, and said, “Do you still remember why Uncle Liao left our house?”

Wei Luo was aware, but he had gathered the details himself. Yin Hui, concerned about Liao Qiuniang’s reputation, simplified it by attributing Uncle Liao’s departure to Yin Wen’s conflict with Liao Shisan.

“Remember, he didn’t get along with Yin Wen.”

“Yeah, my grandfather didn’t tell me the details. In short, Yin Wen must have seriously offended Uncle Liao. It’s been almost two years, and logically, this matter shouldn’t be worth mentioning again. However, just a few days ago, Yin Wen was beaten, and there are rumors that he may never be able to have children in the future.”

Wei Luo paused and asked, “Do you suspect that Liao Shisan did it?”

Yin Hui responded, “No, if it were Uncle Liao’s doing, he wouldn’t have waited so long.”

Wei Luo added, “It’s Feng Teng.” Yin Hui acknowledged his intelligence, knowing that a smart man could grasp the essence of things. She skipped the speculative process and straightforwardly said, “Although I have no brother-sister relationship with Yin Wen, I know that he is ruthless. I fear he might cause trouble with the Feng family. Mr. Feng is upright, and the Feng family isn’t afraid of anyone, but it’s easy to hide from a sword, hard to guard against a dark arrow.”

In her previous life, Feng Teng and Wei Luo clashed, resulting in Feng Teng becoming crippled purely due to an accident.

If the father and son of the Feng family were indeed retaliated against by Yin Wen, it could enrage her father-in-law. In such a scenario, even if only Yin Wen took action, the entire Yin family might be implicated, including Yin Hui and Wei Luo.

Yin Hui conveyed to Wei Luo that she hoped he would remain vigilant and remind the Feng’s father and son at any time.

Wei Luo unconsciously squeezed her hand.

He didn’t know Yin Wen personally, but based on what happened to Liao Qiuniang, he understood that Yin Wen was not a good person.

Feng Teng’s approach seemed too reckless; he either pretended that the incident didn’t happen or eliminated the evidence to avoid future troubles.

When a man was crippled, the enmity became irreconcilable. The truly weak would acknowledge this fact. Yin Wen, once the sole heir candidate of the Yin family business, was proud of his career, had money in his hand, and might not be willing to swallow this anger.

If Yin Wen were to change his surname, Wei Luo wouldn’t mind handling the aftermath concerning Feng Teng. However, if Yin Wen were truly harmed, Mr. Yin might not be able to withstand the emotional blow. If something happened to Mr. Yin, what would she do?

“I will remind Liao Shisan and Lord Feng to be cautious and take their own precautions.”

As for Feng Teng, informing him would likely be futile, as Yin Wen might be dealt with more harshly. Yin Hui gave further instructions, “Uncle Liao can be taken care of easily, but you should first understand why Feng Teng beat Yin Wen, so Lord Feng won’t be dissatisfied with Qiuniang.”

Wei Luo assured her, saying, “Yes, you don’t have to worry too much.”

She rubbed her chest and sighed softly, “Having such a cousin, how could I not worry? If I’m not concerned about my grandfather not being able to bear it, I might really want you to arrange for someone to secretly tie him up and send him away, so that one day I won’t have to worry about it. When the incident happened, he not only embarrassed the Yin family but also hurt me and you.”

Wei Luo rubbed her hair, urging her not to concern herself too much with external matters, “Your grandfather is a wise man. If he comes back and finds out about this, he will trust you to decide.”

If the Feng family remained unaware, Yin Yong would only need to worry about Liao Shisan. The two families could offset their grievances, especially given Liao Shisan’s character. Yin Yong would only need to manage Yin Wen effectively.

However, if Feng Teng was aware and took revenge on Yin Wen, it would be impossible for Yin Yong to pretend that nothing happened.

……..

On the tenth day of April, Feng Teng’s wedding day arrived.

Xiao Heng seemed to be awake earlier than the groom himself. Yin Hui, still in a drowsy state, heard her son’s laughter echoing in the yard. She could hardly believe it, propped herself up with one hand, moved away from Wei Luo with the other, lifted the gauze curtain, and peered out the window. The first light of day illuminated the scene outside.

Xiao Heng was laughing joyfully, as if engaged in a playful pursuit with the wet nurse around the yard.

“He’s in high spirits,” Wei Luo remarked after waking up, exchanging glances with Yin Hui and adding a hint of amusement to his tone.

Yin Hui lay back under the quilt and said, “He must be eager to go to the Feng Mansion. It’s his first time witnessing someone getting married, so it must be quite exciting.”

Wei Luo glanced at her and asked, “Did you mention to him about setting off firecrackers at the wedding banquet?”

Otherwise, the child would have no idea what a marriage was all about.

Yin Hui hesitated and defended herself, “Well, that’s because you handed me the invitation in front of him. Xiao Heng chased me to ask. You know how much he likes asking questions now. If I don’t explain clearly, he will keep pestering me about it.”

Hearing that she was attempting to shift blame onto him, Wei Luo, who was enjoying a rare day of rest, suddenly became intrigued and boldly joined Yin Hui in her bed.

Yin Hui sensed his intentions and rebuked, “My son is awake, how about you?”

At that moment, Xiao Heng, who had been running around the yard, was finally caught by the wet nurse and brought into the room. The atmosphere both inside and outside the window became quiet, creating the perfect setting for something secretive.

During that period, Yin Hui had been preoccupied with concerns about her father-in-law exposing her little trick of helping Wei Ying fabricate a dream. She also worried about potential troubles on Yin Wen’s side. For a few days, she didn’t have a steady heart. However, during the current period, Wei Luo behaved well, and there were no disturbances at night. Being able to divert her attention and focus solely on him at that moment, not thinking about anything else and just going with the flow, made her feel both exhausted and content. Yin Hui considered herself fortunate to have such a devoted military officer as her husband.
