It was only at this time that Lin Wenrui felt that something was wrong with Ji Chengde.
Since he recovered from his illness, he has been sitting in his study every day, saying that he was sick in the past few days and owed too much, so he needs to work harder these days.
Even when Lin Wenrui came to visit with soup, Ji Chengde would become very impatient and keep saying that she had delayed his office hours.
Although Lin Wenrui was told this, she was not angry.
She felt that his elm-headed head had finally made progress. He who had never been in a study before, actually worked hard on official documents.
Lin Wenrui even felt a little happy in her heart. If Ji Chengde was a late bloomer, she would be able to get a royal wife by then.
So he left with Ji Chengde.
At that time, Nanny Chen who was next to her gave her some advice: "Master Hou didn't like these official duties before. He never entered the study for half a month. How could he stay in the study every day now, even How many times have I not even seen you? I’m afraid I’m obsessed with the wild flowers and grass outside!”
But Lin Wenrui was very relieved about Ji Chengde, because if Ji Chengde didn't do anything, she could only solve it with her unique secret recipe, which only she knew.
"The Marquis burns the midnight oil in his study and fights at night. I can't see his face. It's normal."
"What's more, the Marquis wouldn't even take a look at the woman next to him. Isn't that Mei Niang an example? That old immortal wanted to call someone from her parents' family to arrange for the Marquis, but the Marquis couldn't even look at it. Without a glance.”
Lin Wenrui took a sip of tea and said this with great certainty. Even if Mei Niang tried to seduce her, Ji Chengde could only see and touch her.
Moreover, she had the means to snatch Ji Chengde away from Xie Xijun's hands before, and now she has the confidence to hold Ji Chengde in the palm of her hand forever.
But when Lin Wenrui stayed up night after night, from dusk to dawn, for more than half a month, she didn't wait for Ji Chengde to come back. Even when he reached the door of his study, he was interrupted by the boy beside him. Stopped for various reasons.
The sky outside the house gradually turned white. Feeling the cold bed, Lin Wenrui finally had some bad premonitions in her heart.
She looked at the gray sky outside the window, and immediately sat up from the bed: "Take a few boys and go with me to the Marquis's study."
"I want to see what kind of official document it is that makes the Marquis work day and night."
Lin Wenrui put on her coat and took advantage of the slightly bright sky to walk to Ji Chengde's study. Although her heart was heavy, she did not go to a too bad place. After all, it was already a certainty that Ji Chengde would not take action.
But when she quietly stepped into the courtyard with her people, she heard waves of unpleasant sounds.
"Mei Niang, do you feel good? Are you awesome?"
"Master~ Mei Niang really can't stand it anymore~~ Please be gentle!"
The woman's laughter grew louder and louder, and the man's teasing voice became even more familiar to her.
Lin Wenrui's steps suddenly stopped, her mind went blank for a moment, and her face suddenly turned pale.
How can it be? ! How can this be?
Lin Wenrui listened in disbelief and quickened her pace. She directed the servants around her to stop the guards guarding the study door, and then pushed the study door fiercely without hesitation.
What hit her face was the extremely sweet smell of incense in the study, mixed with the aura of decadence, which made Lin Wenrui almost want to gag.
Without even thinking about it, she knew exactly what happened in the study.
Lin Wenrui looked at the disheveled man and woman behind the desk with splitting eyes, their white flesh exposed, and the anger in his body rushed straight to the Tianling Cap.
She went up angrily and gave Mei Niang a slap in the face.
"You vixen!"
There was a crisp sound, and Mei Niang was hit and fell to the ground.
She huddled pitifully at Ji Chengde's feet, covering her flushed body, "Master Marquis, please save me, I was wrong... Madam, I don't dare to do it anymore..."
Ji Chengde's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly threw a piece of clothing on the table to Mei Niang, and was about to say: "Okay, okay... I'm just a woman, I will take her as a concubine in the future..."
But Lin Wenrui was unyielding. She was so angry that she almost forgot to even pretend: "Ji Chengde! Look at what you look like now! What kind of injustice can you do by burning the midnight oil to fight!"
"I want to ask your mother, ask everyone in the world, are there any people in the world who work like you? Do you want this face? Are you stealing people under my nose?!"
After being scolded so harshly by her, Ji Chengde's last guilt disappeared. He stood up quickly, put on his clothes slowly, and then patted Mei Niang's head beside his legs.
"Okay, you put on your clothes and go to my yard. I will give you a title."
Lin Wenrui looked at Ji Chengde's sudden change of attitude in disbelief, and her eyes widened: "Ji Chengde, you want to give her a status? What kind of medicine did this bitch give you? You clearly..."
"That's enough!!!" Ji Chengde interrupted her sharply.
"Bitch?" Ji Chengde knew that he no longer needed Lin Wenrui's medicine to be a real man.
He became more confident in speaking: "Don't forget, what you and I did outside the house at that time is called shameless."
"Compared to Humei, you are simply worse than me."
Lin Wenrui only felt ashamed when she heard him mention the past in front of so many servants.
Her face turned red and her lips were trembling with anger.
"How generous was Xijun when she knew about our affairs? What about you? Mei Niang's status is hundreds of times better than yours before. I just want to take a concubine."
Ji Chengde actually mentioned this woman, whom he had not mentioned for a long time!
"But you said you'll be together for the rest of your life!" Lin Wenrui looked at him steadily, her eyes wide open, tears welling up from her eyes. She finally remembered her usual weakness.
Ji Chengde's every word was like a whisper. She held herself up, but her whole body was trembling.
"It was you who snatched me away from Mr. Xi. I have never lived in this life. You have been the wife of the Marquis for so long that you have forgotten how much you weigh." Ji Chengde lowered his eyes and looked at her, with the corner of his mouth still curled up. He smiled lightly, and his tone sounded like he was satisfied after eating and drinking.
After hearing this, Lin Wenrui rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Madam! Madam! Madam has fainted!" As Nanny Chen shouted, another group of people in the study fell on their backs.
