Reborn Lady - Chapter 423

Wei Luo stopped, looked at her and said, “Yes, I sincerely proposed to marry, but I don’t know why the Second Lady doesn’t want to.”

Yin Hui was like an ordinary girl facing a foreigner, clasping her hands awkwardly, saying, “Didn’t Grandpa tell you? I dare not climb high.”

Wei Luo didn’t believe it. “Is it because you don’t dare to climb high, or is someone threatening you?”

Yin Hui raised her head and asked blankly, “Are you threatening me?”

Wei Luo didn’t answer, just stared into her eyes carefully.

As if frightened by him, Yin Hui turned around and said in a low voice, “No one threatens me. The Third Master is a dragon and a phoenix among people. I’m just a weed in the countryside. I really dare not climb high.”

Wei Luo glanced at the intersection, walked over suddenly, and grabbed her wrist.

Yin Hui looked over in horror.

Wei Luo said coldly, “You really haven’t seen me?”

Yin Hui shook her head, trying to free her hand.

Wei Luo observed her nervous and frightened appearance. If he hadn’t been with her all the way, if he hadn’t seen her calm and indifferent in the face of others, Wei Luo might have believed her.

But one more test was needed to determine whether she was the fourteen-year-old Yin Hui or the Yin Hui who returned back in time like him.

“Have you ever thought about what will happen to Wei Heng now that both of us are back?”

Wei Luo clasped her wrist with one hand and raised her chin with the other, forcing her to look directly at him.

The mention of “Wei Heng” made Yin Hui stop struggling.

In this new chance at life, she could rectify many regrets, but the one regret she couldn’t undo was Wei Heng.

He was the child born to her in October of her pregnancy, her greatest comfort in Chengxin Hall when Wei Luo treated her coldly. Though Wei Heng later became distant, he still respected her, but he no longer relied on her as he did when he was younger.

The ten-year-old Wei Heng had a temper like Wei Luo’s, and he resembled him too.

Facing the nineteen-year-old Wei Luo in front of her, Yin Hui seemed to see Wei Heng.

She couldn’t pretend anymore, tears rolled down her face.

The tears flowed down Wei Luo’s hands.

Wei Luo suddenly let go of her hand, turned around, his face frosty, his chest heaving with anger.

Yin Hui could hear his heavy breathing.

In their ten years of marriage, though he was often sullen due to anger, he had never been so enraged.

What was he angry about? Angry that she dared to refuse marriage?

It was so unreasonable. If she didn’t marry him, wasn’t she leaving a chance for him to be with his good cousin?

After calming down, Yin Hui wiped away the tears she shed for her son. 

After waiting for a while and seeing Wei Luo still standing there, Yin Hui thought for a moment, then walked over to Fei Xu, looked at him, and said, “Since you and I are the same, then when you come back, you are back, and you can live a good life now. From now on, the Third Master will be the Third Master, and I will be me. You and I have nothing to do with each other. Please don’t come here again…”

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Luo turned around, his eyes full with anger, saying, “We don’t have anything to do with each other? We’ve been married for ten years, and I don’t recall ever treating you harshly. How is it that you’re willing to abandon Wei Heng and refuse this marriage?”

Tiger didn’t eat its own cubs. She loved Wei Heng so much, but she was willing to forsake him and refuse this marriage. How much must she detest him?

Wei Luo couldn’t understand what he had done to incur such hatred from her.

At another time, Yin Hui would have been undoubtedly frightened by such an angry Wei Luo, but Wei Luo’s words actually made her laugh.

Facing Wei Luo’s angry gaze, Yin Hui’s heart blazed with emotion, and she listed her grievances one by one, “You never treated me harshly. You just treated me as a bed warmer. Except for needing me to serve you at night, you ignored me during the day. When I was sick, did you care about me?”

“You have never treated me badly, you just looked down on me and my family. Father-in-law accompanied Mrs. Guo to the Guo family’s house. I am your wife. Perhaps you don’t even know where the gate of the Yin family’s house is.”

“You never treated me harshly, you just harbored feelings for your good cousin in your heart. But when I foolishly thought that you would be devoted to me, you brought your cousin back without even saying anything, letting me become the subject of ridicule by the entire family.”

“Frozen three feet is not a day’s cold, Wei Luo. You have frozen me for ten years. Why do you expect me to happily marry you?”

Obviously very angry, but Yin Hui’s face was full of tears.

The grievances that had accumulated for ten years finally had the opportunity to be expressed to the culprit.

And Wei Luo’s anger was extinguished, drop by drop, by her tears.

He didn’t just treat her as a warm bed. He regarded her as his wife and his family. Their relationship, along with Xiao Heng, formed his most important home.

He didn’t look down on her or her grandfather; he simply had a good face in his youth, and by the time he could calm down, Yin Yong was gone, leaving him with no chance to accompany her back.

She might not know these points, and she had every reason to blame him. But when did he ever harbor feelings for his cousin?

“Ah Hui, I…”

“Don’t call me that. Only Grandfather can. I don’t know the Third Master well!”

Yin Hui finished venting, grabbed the saddle, and was about to mount her horse.

Wei Luo stepped forward in a few strides, caught Yin Hui as she lifted her leg, and pulled her down again.

Yin Hui stared at him coldly.

Wei Luo looked at her and said, “You may misunderstand other things, but I have absolutely no selfishness towards my cousin. The only reason I wanted to take her as a concubine is…”

Yin Hui didn’t want to hear it, but Wei Luo didn’t allow her to leave. Unable to break free from his grasp, she could only remain where she was, forced to listen to the tale of Wen Ruyue’s miserable experience in Shaoxing.

Hearing Wei Luo say that he originally wanted Wen Ruyue to accompany her, this genuinely made Yin Hui laugh.

“I’d rather keep a tortoise for company than have such a companion,” Yin Hui mocked, pushing away Wei Luo’s hand.
