After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

The evening mist was thick and the sky had darkened before noon.

A maid ran hurriedly from the corner gate of Songyun Courtyard into Songhe Hall where He's mother lived.

She raised the curtain, walked to the dark brown bunk bed in two or three steps, bowed and said, "Madam, the master is leaving the post and entering the main gate."

He's mother was completely relaxed, leaning back on the large pine flower pillow, drinking mouthful after mouthful of the Four Gentlemen Soup that Cao Fangruo had fed her.

She went to Woyunyuan for a walk at noon, and her emotions fluctuated greatly. After coming back, she felt a little listless. She drank some spleen-tonifying and nerve-soothing medicine, which was better than nothing.

The man, who was originally lacking in energy, immediately sat up from the bed after hearing the maid's words.

She used her hands to tidy up her hair. "I know. He will be here soon. Go to the door and wait. If you see him enter the courtyard, report immediately."

Seeing He Zhiyuan, Cao Fangruo was instantly delighted. She took a small silver spoon, scooped a spoonful of medicine and fed it to He's mother's lips, but saw that she was pursing her lips tightly, as if facing a great enemy.

She was puzzled and asked, "Auntie has been looking forward to my cousin, and now my cousin is coming over. Aren't you happy, auntie?"

He's mother pushed the silver spoon away with her hand, frowning, her sallow face full of annoyance.

"Take it. Drinking these every day is useless. You'll just hang on."

She looked at her niece with a frown.

He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a slightly collapsed nose, but his nose tip is small. His thin red lips show that he is quite talented.

Before her son broke off the engagement, she planned to wait until her son got married and then bring her niece in as a concubine, since she had the face of a mother to spare.

They were cousins, and her son had a good temper. Even if there was no love between them, he would at least treat her well. It would only be a matter of adding an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

Who would have thought that after the marriage with Lin Yanyu was called off, his son's temperament changed drastically, and he married Cao Fangruo under her coercion.

But my niece was given a drug that would make her infertile only two months after she got married, and all her hopes for the rest of her life were gone.

And Lin Yanxia...

It was found out that it was Lin Yanxia who did it. She believed it at first, but now she has a vague feeling that something is wrong.

Especially, her son went to so much trouble to get Lin Yanyu by his side.

Why do you keep her imprisoned in He's house and insist on marrying her?

At this point, look back at what happened before.

Lin Yanxia, ​​who insisted on marrying him and stirring up trouble, had her tongue cut off and was given a drug that would make her childless.

Cao Fangruo, whom she secretly stuffed into the harem, also drank the sterilization potion. Even with her support, she would have no chance to challenge the mistress in the future.

And she is He Zhiyuan's biological mother.

He was given a slow-acting poison, and although he didn't die, he no longer had the energy to care about his affairs.

Thinking of this, the blood drained from He's mother's face.

At this moment, the maid at the door shouted, "Madam, the master is here!"

Like a loud thunderclap, He's mother shuddered all over and grabbed Cao Fangruo's hand which was on the quilt.

Cao Fangruo hissed in pain.

Following the sound of footsteps, her frown instantly relaxed, she stood up slowly, bowed to the person who came, and called out in a tender voice, "Cousin~"

He Zhiyuan nodded slightly at her, and turned with a gentle face to He's mother who was sitting on the bed.

The maid brought an ebony chair in due time, and He Zhiyuan lifted the corner of his robe and sat on the soft silk cushion.

His eyes were gentle as he looked at Mother He's face. He chuckled and said, "I heard that group of slave dogs made Mother angry today?"

He's mother looked at him, shuddered slightly, as if all her strength was used up, and lay down on the bed listlessly, closing her eyes.

If Cao Fangruo hadn't noticed her aunt's abnormality, her cheeks would have flushed and she would have been immersed in the joy of seeing her cousin. She also heard him sound like he wanted to support them.

I couldn't help but complain: "Cousin, you really should take care of those dogs in your yard. They don't take us seriously at all..."

"Even if they wanted to stop me, my aunt is your biological mother. My aunt almost fainted, and then that old man in your yard opened the door and let us in!"

"Oh? Are you serious?" He Zhiyuan said, "I will punish those dogs when I get back."

Cao Fangruo twisted her handkerchief shyly and said, "Thank you, cousin~"

He Zhiyuan looked at her inconspicuously, "Why did you suddenly want to go to your cousin's place? Is there anything interesting in your cousin's room?"

"It's not you, cousin..."

Cao Fangruo paused in the middle of her speech, grumbling, "Nothing, I just wanted to see the crabapple flowers, but those slaves wouldn't let me in."

"Oh? Begonia? Is it in the yard or in my cousin's room?"

Cao Fangruo suddenly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, swallowed, and looked at the young man who seemed to be smiling but had cold eyes.

She swallowed and pretended to smile, "Speaking of this, I, we actually saw Sister Lin in my cousin's room."

He Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.

"I've only heard of her before, but never seen her. I only knew she was a beauty, but I didn't expect her to be so gentle and generous. Not only did she invite my aunt and I in for tea, she also gave me a box of gifts. I only regret not meeting her earlier. I don't know if I can interact with Sister Lin more in the future."

He Zhiyuan stopped laughing, thought for a moment, and said, "Since she likes you, you should spend more time with her to talk to her, so that she won't be alone and think about nonsense. There is only one thing..."

"Her mind is hard to guess. Sometimes even I, your cousin, can't guess what she's thinking. Be careful with your words."

This is what it means to ask Cao Fangruo to say nice things.

Cao Fangruo's face turned pale and blue in an instant, and she couldn't help but get angry.

He's mother's voice sounded at the right time.

"I haven't seen Yanyu for a long time. I've watched her grow up, and she's not much different from you. I didn't know she was here, but now that I know, I can't just let it go."

"Tomorrow, we will set up a banquet in Songyun Court to welcome Yanyu, and invite Fangruo and Yanxia to come... After all, Yanxia is Yanyu's sister, so it's a good opportunity for them to meet each other."

"aunt!"

Cao Fangruo turned around angrily and looked at the old woman lying in bed.

"Lin Yanxia has caused you and me so much pain, she should be locked up in the woodshed until she dies. Why are you asking her to do that? You are ruining our fun for no reason."

But He Zhiyuan said, "I do want Yanyu to meet Lin Yanxia."

See the miserable state of this vicious woman Lin Yanxia now.

But where do we get to?

In her previous life, she caused him to have no legitimate child and ruined his marriage with his beloved woman.

He would not let Lin Yanxia die. He wanted her to live a hundred years, and every breath she took for the rest of her life would be filled with pain.

"As for what mother said, preparing a feast to welcome Yan Yu..."

The air seemed to be stagnant. He's mother dug her fingernails into her palm, feeling a slight sting. She opened her eyes and met He Zhiyuan's gaze.

He pulled up the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother. I will have someone send her over tomorrow. I see that you don't look well, so I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Just as He's mother breathed a sigh of relief, she saw him lift the door curtain, stand still, and look at her with his back to the light.

"As long as mother wants to live well, your son will be filial to you."

As if Cao Fangruo couldn't see enough, he watched his cousin leave before turning back.

Suddenly screamed: "Aunt, what's wrong with you? Aunt!"
