After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 192 Is the Madam Jealous?
Bai Wanqing quickly turned her back, completely ignoring Lin Yunche.

Ruixin immediately realized what was happening, snorted coldly at Lin Yunche, and pulled Bai Wanqing away in another direction.

Lin Yunche, who had been all smiles just moments before, now had his smile frozen on his face. Just then, he bumped into Dr. Zheng, who was out seeing off a patient, and hurried over.

"Dr. Zheng! What happened to your employer?"

"Why are they ignoring everyone?!"

Doctor Zheng glanced at Lin Yunche beside him and thought about how such a big thing had happened at the century-old clinic these days, and Lin Yunche had not shown his face at all. The clinic was entirely supported by the owner. No wonder the owner was angry.

"Sigh! The boss is so busy with work, he has to bear the consequences himself no matter what happens."

"Of course, you can talk to whoever you want, and ignore them if you don't want to."

Lin Yunche looked puzzled. Wanqing hadn't been angry with him about this yesterday.

They had made an agreement, "Dr. Zheng, what you're saying isn't right, is it?"

Dr. Zheng also lost his temper, "You said what I said was wrong, and you still ask?"

After saying that, Doctor Zheng snorted and turned back to the clinic. Lin Yunche stood there stunned. Did he not check the almanac before going out today? Why is everyone angry with him?

Seeing Bai Wanqing about to disappear, Lin Yunche had no choice but to jog and chase after her.

He smiled at her, but she didn't say anything.

He said he would take her out for a nice meal, but she ignored him.

He stayed silently beside her, which finally made Bai Wanqing turn her head away with a sinister look.

Lin Yunche rarely saw anger in Wanqing's calm eyes, so it seemed he had really done something to upset her.

Lin Yunche's originally small, almond-shaped eyes curved into a line. Unlike his usual wicked smile, he now looked like a harmless, simple-minded person.

"Madam, are you really angry with me?"

"Regardless of what you're angry about, you still need to take care of your health."

"If you don't want to eat at Baiweilou, go back and eat the dinner that Fengniang prepared."

"Don't go hungry."

After speaking, Lin Yunche even blinked his eyes, but Bai Wanqing didn't notice because they were too long and narrow.

Seeing how her son-in-law was trying to please his mistress, Ruixin's heart softened.

“Madam, what the son-in-law said may be wrong in other aspects, but you have been busy with the clinic all day and have not eaten anything.”

"Don't let them starve," Ruixin said.

Bai Wanqing withdrew her gaze from Lin Yunche and pondered for a moment.

They're right. She didn't want to go home just now because she didn't want to see Lin Yunche.

Now, whenever she sees Lin Yunche, the image of him going home with Hai Shengyang keeps flashing through her mind.

But even if he doesn't go back now, Lin Yunche will still stay by his side.

This is no different from being at home.

"Let's go back then!" Bai Wanqing made the decision and immediately turned around and walked back.

Lin Yunche smiled helplessly and caught up with the others again.

The two of them returned home, and Bai Wanqing went to help at the stove while Lin Yunche went to tend the fire.

Bai Wanqing wanted to rewrite the clinic's regulations, and Lin Yunche ground ink beside her.

Feng Niang watched the two of them come and go together, but they didn't say a word to each other, which made her a little strange.

"Hey? Ruixin, what's going on between Madam and Master?"

"Why do they look like they've had a fight?"

Ruixin shook her head, looking at the two awkward figures in the distance. "Madam Feng, our lady has a peaceful nature and never argues with anyone."

"It's just that someone did something infuriating, which is why the lady is angry."

Fengniang was surprised. Ever since she came to this courtyard, she had always felt that although the master and mistress were husband and wife, they didn't look like husband and wife, but more like friends.

Because in the lady's eyes, no matter what the master did, she seemed never to get angry, just like an outsider, yes, an outsider.

But things seem different now.

"Ruixin, although I shouldn't ask, what terrible thing did the master do to anger the madam?"

"I have never seen the lady so angry before."

Lin Yunche made such a blatant display on the street that even if Ruixin wanted to hide it, she probably couldn't, so Ruixin just told him directly.

"It's all because the master followed Miss Hai around and was seen by the madam."

"Judging from the way Master and Miss Hai looked this morning, it seems that another person will be joining our courtyard soon."

"I am truly angry on behalf of the lady."

Like Bai Wanqing, Ruixin vividly remembers Bai Wanqing's experience of divorce from the Meng family.

Especially when Meng Zhan returned home and said he wanted to divorce his wife.

On the surface, the lady appeared calm and composed, responding proactively. However, what others didn't know was that she hadn't slept for several nights.

He stared blankly at the old lady's hairpins every day.

I never expected that the new son-in-law would do the same thing so soon.

And this time it happened right under the wife's nose.

Thinking of this, Rui threw down the rag in her hand and said, "Master is still bothering Madam. I'll go and chase him away."

Feng Niang finally understood what Rui Xin was saying.

She quickly grabbed Ruixin, "You can't go."

Ruixin retorted, "Why can't I go! Am I just going to stand by and watch Madam be bullied by Master?"

Fengniang covered her mouth and shook her head, "You silly girl, how could Master bully Madam!"

"Look at how anxious he is now, he's clearly a young man just beginning to experience love."

"This is a good thing."

Ruixin looked at the two people in the distance with some doubt. Sure enough, thanks to the son-in-law's unremitting efforts, the madam finally paid attention to him.

"Wanqing, you've been angry all day. Just tell me what I did wrong." "Even if I die, you should at least let me die knowing why, shouldn't you?"

Lin Yunche still had that simple, honest smile, which seemed completely out of place with his flamboyant and seductive appearance.

However, this made Bai Wanqing laugh.

"Don't laugh like that, it's not like you anymore," Bai Wanqing said softly.

Lin Yunche's smile grew even more naive. "Whether I look like you or not is not important. What's important is that Madam forgives me, isn't it?"

Forgive? The smile in Bai Wanqing's eyes gradually faded.

Lin Yunche also stopped smiling.

Bai Wanqing turned her head away, looked at the artificial hill in front of her, and asked with a half-smile.

When will Miss Hai arrive?

Lin Yunche was shocked, excited, thrilled, and then overjoyed.

"Wanqing, is this why you're angry with me today?"

Bai Wanqing turned around and stared intently at Lin Yunche's face. "Is that not allowed?"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Hahahaha!"

"Wanqing, I really like the way you look when you're angry."

Bai Wanqing became even angrier and turned to leave, but Lin Yunche hugged her from behind.

Bai Wanqing's body stiffened instantly. "What...what are you doing?"

Lin Yunche turned Bai Wanqing around, looked down into her eyes, and said, "Wanqing, Miss Hai will never be able to enter the Lin family in this lifetime."

A hint of joy, which she herself did not notice, flashed in Bai Wanqing's eyes.

"But...but didn't you already...with Miss Hai today?"

Bai Wanqing couldn't bring herself to voice the scene she had imagined. Her face was flushed, and she wanted to question him but couldn't bring herself to say it. She looked extremely conflicted.

"What happened between Miss Hai and me?"

Lin Yunche lowered his head even further, his nose almost touching Wanqing's forehead.

Bai Wanqing could clearly feel a warm sensation coming from her forehead.

She gently turned her head away, "You know it yourself!"

"I'm innocent! I didn't know!" Lin Yunche reverted to his usual shameless demeanor.

"Then if you don't know, then forget I said anything."

Bai Wanqing twisted her body, and Lin Yunche suddenly felt two soft spots on his chest. He tensed up immediately, quickly released Bai Wanqing, and his cheeks burned red.

"I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll explain to you when we get back to the room."

Lin Yunche, who had been following Bai Wanqing all night, ran away as if fleeing.

Bai Wanqing remained where she was, watching Lin Yunche run away clumsily, and burst out laughing.

"Fengniang, Fengniang, the Madam is smiling!"

Ruixin watched from afar as her young mistress finally smiled, and a weight was lifted from her heart.

Feng Niang also had a big, doting smile on her face, "I knew it!"

"Now you can rest assured."

Ruixin nodded, "I'm relieved, I'm relieved."

At this moment, Lin Yunche had already soaked his body in the cool bathtub.

But even this cold water couldn't extinguish the desire in his heart.

"I was so close! If I had gone any further, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to control myself."

Lin Yunche patted his cheeks with both hands, trying to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

But whenever he thought that Wanqing cared about him, he couldn't help but smile.

"Wanqing, she's actually jealous!"

"She's actually jealous of me!"

Lin Yunche happily tumbled around in the bathtub for a couple of moments, the icy water slowly pulling him back to his senses.

"It's so cold!" Lin Yunche felt dizzy as he got out of the bathtub.

He excitedly ran back to his room, where a figure sat quietly reading a book by candlelight. At that moment, he felt that his heart, which had been empty for so long, was filled.

"Wanqing!"

Lin Yunche called out softly in a hoarse voice.

Bai Wanqing slightly raised her eyes, and her clear gaze made Lin Yunche's lips curl up.

Bai Wanqing closed the book and looked at Lin Yunche quietly, seemingly waiting for his explanation.

Lin Yunche smiled and sat down next to Bai Wanqing, softly recounting the events of the day.

"Hai Shengyang did indeed use the Lin family as a bargaining chip."

"But I did not agree to make this deal."

Bai Wanqing was surprised that Hai Shengyang knew such an important matter. It seems that Hai Shengyang is not just an ignorant young lady from an official family.

She was making plans for herself; her thoughts were surprisingly deep.

Bai Wanqing knew how important the Lin family's affairs were; if merely being granted the position of a secondary wife could clear the Lin family's name.

No matter how you look at it, the Lin family is not at a disadvantage in this matter, and Hai Shengyang probably considered this point as well.

"Let Miss Hai in!" Bai Wanqing paused for a long time before finally saying this.

Lin Yunche looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say?"

"I say, let Miss Hai come in! Whether she's a concubine or a secondary wife, it doesn't matter!"

"Let her in!"
