Chapter 180 Rong Zhen: It will break my heart

Once everyone left, the courtyard became quiet.

Yunwei was held in Rongzhen's arms and remained silent for a long time.

Rong Zhen looked down at her swollen face, feeling both angry and pained.

If Yun Yueshan weren't her biological father, he would have definitely dislocated his hands.

He suppressed his anger and gently touched Yunwei's face. "It's a little swollen. Let's go inside and put some ice on it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei looked up at him, then pushed him away, saying, "I'm fine."

Seeing her so stubborn, Rong Zhen frowned and pulled her back into his arms. "You still say you're fine? I have eyes, I can see."

"You're so annoying!" Yun Wei said irritably.

Rong Zhen was taken aback, looked down at her, and said gloomily, "You hate me that much?"

Yunwei pursed her lips and took the opportunity to push him away. "You don't need to make a fuss. Anyway, I'm not going to die. Don't worry about me."

"You won't die, but it will break my heart. I can't just ignore you." Rong Zhen frowned, and his voice became a few decibels louder.

Yunwei was stunned.

Rong Zhen raised his hand to rub his temples, then stepped forward and took her hand. "Even if you find me annoying, it doesn't matter. The injury on your face needs to be treated first."

Yunwei snapped out of her daze, feeling somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. "I'll deal with it when I get back..."

"Where are you going?" Rong Zhen asked gently.

"I want to see Yun Yao's body," Yun Wei said.

"Don't go. I've already sent Qingfeng to investigate. He'll bring back news soon." Rong Zhen said, pulling her into his arms again. "Be good, listen to me."

Yunwei paused for a moment.

"Bring ice," Rong Zhen instructed Uncle Chen, turning to him.

"Yes." Uncle Chen hurried off.

Rong Zhen half-coaxed and half-carried Yun Wei back to the courtyard.

A short while later, Uncle Chen also brought the ice.

Rong Zhen had Yun Wei lie down on the couch, then wrapped ice cubes in a handkerchief, placed them on her face, and gently massaged her.

A cool, refreshing sensation spread across my face.

The scorching heat was quickly replaced by coolness.

Yunwei's restless heart calmed down.

As she lay on the couch, watching the man's focused and gentle expression, all her unhappiness vanished instantly.

She gazed quietly at Rong Zhen.

Thinking about her terrible attitude towards him earlier, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, because Rong Zhen, who was focused on applying ice to her skin, noticed it, paused slightly, looked down at her, and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yun Wei smiled and reached out to touch his face. "You're handsome."

Rong Zhen: "..."

He coughed lightly, and with his long, slender fingers, he gently touched her lips. "Your lips are suddenly so sweet. Did you do something to betray me?"

Yunwei rolled her eyes at him, crossed her arms behind her head, and deliberately provoked him, "Yeah, I cheated on you."

Rong Zhen paused, "You woman..."

Yunwei raised an eyebrow at him, "How... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, she shuddered and stared at the man in astonishment.

Rong Zhen glanced at her and slowly moved the ice cubes off her neck.

However, he didn't hold it properly, and the ice cube fell back down.

Yunwei was hit by the ice block and sat up instantly, the ice block sliding into her clothes.

Rong Zhen: "..."

"Ah, it's so cold!" Yun Wei froze for a moment, then gasped softly and instinctively reached into her clothes to take out the ice cubes.

But when she reached halfway with her hand out, she realized something and stopped abruptly.

The cold touch made her face tense.

Rong Zhen coughed lightly, "Do you need my help?"

Yunwei's face flushed bright red instantly.

An ice cube fell inside her clothes. How could he help her? Should he unbutton her clothes, or reach inside...?

Yunwei's face burned even hotter. She picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at him. "No need, you can leave now."

Rong Zhen caught the pillow and turned away good-naturedly.

Yunwei's pupils contracted. "I meant for you to go outside first."

"I won't look at you anyway." Rong Zhen's voice held an undisguised smile.

Yun Wei: "..."

She couldn't help but kick him in the butt, yelling, "Get lost!"

The Regent's expression suddenly became exceptionally interesting.

He walked out, clutching his pillow, his body tense.

As soon as he left, Yunwei hurriedly took the ice cubes out of her bodice.

Looking at the crystal-clear ice, she breathed a soft sigh of relief.

However, thinking about what had just happened, her face flushed again.

After calming down, she got up and went out, calling Rong Zhen, who was outside the door, in.

Upon seeing the ice cubes on the table, Rong Zhen paused, reached out and picked them up, examined them for a moment, and then tucked them into his sleeve.

Yunwei was stunned by his action. "What are you doing?"

“Collect it.” Rong Zhen glanced at her, a smile playing on his lips.

Yun Wei: "..."

The heat that had just subsided spread across her face again.

Rong Zhen couldn't possibly be unaware that the piece of ice had slipped inside her clothes just now...

But he wants to collect it?
Yunwei bit her lip, looking at him with a complicated expression.

If they weren't engaged, his actions would truly be considered frivolous and flirtatious towards her.

Even so, she still couldn't remain calm.

While he was applying ice to himself, she reached into his sleeve.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the piece of ice.

It's getting cold now, it can't possibly melt so quickly, right?

The ice cube must still be in his sleeve.

Yunwei still decided to find the ice block.

Rong Zhen narrowed his phoenix eyes as he watched the woman tugging at his sleeve.

"Since the county princess is so interested in my arms, why don't I take off my clothes and let you have a good look?"

Yun Wei paused, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Then why don't you take it off?"

Rong Zhen: "..."

He put down the ice cubes wrapped in a handkerchief and slowly unbuckled his belt.

Yunwei's brow twitched, and she hurriedly snatched the belt, intending to tie it for him.

Unfortunately, she had never worn a man's belt before, and for a moment, she was quite flustered.

After finally managing to tie it up, she looked up and saw the man staring at her with a mischievous look.

She paused, then deliberately said in a fierce tone, "What are you looking at?"

Rong Zhen's lips curled slightly as he stroked her face with his long, slender fingers. "So you're just a paper tiger."

Paper Tiger Yunwei: "..."

Rong Zhen stopped teasing her, picked up the ice cubes on the table, and continued to apply ice to her left cheek.

After applying ice twice, Yunwei's face was noticeably better; the pain had subsided, and the swelling had reduced considerably.

Just then, Tian'er announced from outside, "Miss, Regent, Qingfeng Guard has arrived."

Rong Zhen glanced at Yun Wei, and seeing her eagerness to know the situation, he ordered, "Let him in."

After entering the room, Qingfeng stopped outside the beaded curtain and reported, "Master, I have just investigated and found that the two female corpses retrieved from the moat are indeed Yun Yao, the third young lady of the Yun family, and her personal maid, Yinshuang. The Yun family has already claimed them."

Furthermore, this matter has already spread throughout the capital, and now everyone in the city is talking about it.

The sentence following "Qingfeng" is somewhat conservative.

In fact, those who had nothing better to do were all condemning the county magistrate, and the things they said were extremely harsh.
