Chapter 106 The Marquis's Commoner Wife 16
"I heard that the girl shamelessly climbed into the Marquis' bed, and when the maid from Shou'an Hall cleaned up, she took out a blood-stained Yuan handkerchief."

Ning Yan suddenly started coughing violently. Aunt Zhang was very nervous. "Madam, are you okay?"

She hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Ning Yan and handed it to her lips.

Ning Yan finally stopped coughing and pushed away the water that the other person handed over. "I'm afraid I've caught a cold, so I won't keep you two here. You should go back first, and don't come to pay your respects in the next two days, lest you get sick."

She didn't even go to pay her respects to the old lady, but the concubines in the mansion came to her every day. Since they could keep her company and relieve her boredom, she didn't refuse.

After Aunt Zhang and the other two left, Ning Yan continued to stare at the sky in the yard. The sun was warm on her body, which was extremely comfortable.

That night, Han Yongjin returned to the main courtyard very late. By then, Ning Yan had already fallen asleep. Not only that, she had occupied the entire bed.

Han Yongjin didn't dare wake her up, and finally slept on the couch all night.

The next morning, when he got up and prepared to go to court, Ning Yan also woke up, but she just glanced at Han Yongjin and turned over to continue sleeping.

Han Yongjin suddenly felt that although they were sleeping in the same room, their hearts seemed to be thousands of miles apart.

Han Yongjin wanted to wake Ning Yan several times, but he swallowed his words in the end, leaving only one sentence: "Yan'er, your husband has gone to court, and I will come back early to accompany you today."

Ning Yan said nothing, as if she hadn't heard anything at all.

Han Yongjin walked to the bedside, lowered his head, and wanted to kiss Ning Yan on the face as he did in the past. However, Ning Yan directly covered her head with the quilt, and her rejection was very obvious.

The man clenched his palms and pursed his lips into a slit. After a long while, he walked out.

Liefeng, who was guarding outside the door, discovered that the air pressure on the Marquis was even lower today than yesterday.

He didn't know what happened between the Marquis and his wife, but it was definitely not a good thing.

Therefore, he followed the Marquis obediently and did not dare to make any sound.

In their hearts, they only hoped that the Madam would coax the Marquis at night, so that their lives as subordinates would be easier.

Unfortunately, no one heard his wish, and even if they did, no one would do as he wished.

Han Yongjin declined his colleague's invitation and planned to go home to have dinner with his wife. However, the person who always waited for him to have dinner in the past did not wait for him today.

Moreover, after he entered the room, Ning Yan, who was reading a book, didn't even raise her head, let alone give him a look.

His face turned cold again because this was too abnormal.

He was so angry that he didn't eat dinner. He finally waited until it was time to go to bed. He quickly took a shower and took Ning Yan to bed.

The result was Ning Yan's rejection.

"I'm on my period, it's inconvenient."

How could she possibly have her period? It was clearly still seven days away.

Such a crude excuse could only mean one thing: Ning Yan hated him to the extreme.

She didn't even want to make a serious excuse to lie to him.

"let me check."

Ning Yan looked at him with eyes without any emotion, and Han Yongjin retreated.

The next day, Han Yongjin came back from court early and bought a gift for Ning Yan. However, when he placed the priceless pearl hairpin in front of Ning Yan, she didn't even look at it.

The two of them didn't even communicate that day, and Han Yongjin couldn't sleep the whole night.

In the next few days, Han Yongjin went home to see Ning Yan after the court session. He didn't want to live this kind of cold life. He wanted the two of them to go back to the way they were before, eating and sleeping together, and talking about everything. He didn't want to live this cold life for even a day.

"Madam, let me take you out for a walk. I'm afraid you'll be bored if you stay in the house all day."

Ning Yan looked at him with those emotionless eyes again, "No need, Lord Marquis, go and do your work. If you really feel bored, I will go out by myself, so I won't bother you, Lord Marquis."

Her tone was calm and even, without any ups and downs, and she still called him Lord Marquis.

Han Yongjin felt so uncomfortable that for a moment he wanted to confess to her what happened that night, "Madam..."

But Ning Yan didn't want to listen at all. "Today, the palace doctor checked the pulse of the concubine in the palace. I heard that Aunt Bai seemed to be pregnant."

Han Yongjin felt his heart tremble, a feeling of regret surged in his heart, and his eyes felt a little hot. He finally let go and left in a hurry in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

No explanation, no apology, no reason.

How could he explain it?
Said that the Marquis's Mansion must not be left without an heir? Said that he and Aunt Bai only had one time? Said that he wanted to adopt a child for her to raise?

Han Yongjin slept in the study that night.

For the next three days, he continued to sleep in the study.

In the past, the Marquis and his wife had never slept separately, so everyone in the mansion knew about their discord.

The minds of the women in the mansion began to become active.

Even the old lady joined in the fun and gave Han Yongjin two concubines. Yes, this time they were concubines. If he arranged for a maid to be his concubine again, his unfilial son would just dismiss her easily.

After Han Yongjin's vacation, he couldn't even see Ning Yan. He could only go to court on time every day, and when he came back every day, he would find that his concubine had met him on the road.

According to his previous temperament, these women would be under house arrest, but he wanted to see if Ning Yan really didn't care about him anymore, so he let those people guard the road.

Occasionally, he would go to Aunt Bai's yard to sit and bring the soup they brought back to the main courtyard, hoping to see Ning Yan get angry for him and be jealous of him.

However, nothing! Nothing!

That night, Han Yongjin could no longer bear it. Even if Ning Yan was tired of him, even if she might hate him, he couldn't care less.

He sent all the servants away, and regardless of whether Ning Yan was willing or not, he used force!
However, Ning Yan had been prepared for this move. She took out a handful of medicine powder from somewhere and sprinkled it all over his head and face.

That night, Marquis Zhennan couldn't even get on the couch and had to sleep on the floor all night. The next day he felt dizzy and it turned out that he was sick.

The old lady knew that the two of them had gone too far and her son was sick, so she was going to call Ning Yan over to give her a lesson.

Ning Yan doesn't even serve her son, so why would she care about her?
She didn't even leave the yard, so the old lady could do whatever she wanted.

Han Yongjin was also afraid that his mother had angered the lady, so he directly sent someone to tell the lady to take care of him and wait until he recovered before going to pay his respects to his mother.

The old lady was so angry that she wished she had never given birth to this son. Unfortunately, no one cared about her feelings.

Han Yongjin had a good health and recovered after two days of rest at home.

Soon he was assigned by the emperor to work in Su County in the northwest.

The emperor's order is difficult to disobey. Even if Han Yongjin is the emperor's confidant and favorite, he dare not disobey the emperor's will.

That day he rushed to the northwest with several followers.

After he left, Ning Yan completely relaxed and quietly went out of the house several times. Except for the two maids serving her, no one noticed anything unusual about her.
