The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2440 - 19: Testing the Waters

For some reason, Ye Haoyang suddenly felt that the face and the person in front of him were very fake, crying and saying she was wrong, yet there was no trace of remorse in her eyes.

Moreover, the argument between the two sisters earlier, although he didn’t know what they were saying, he could tell that this person had a poor attitude.

So without much thought, he said, "Hua’en, if I ruined someone’s face, I would ruin my own face too. I can’t compensate for the face, but at least I can accompany them in bearing the rumors and gossip."

Mu Huarong stared in shock at his departing figure, unable to react for a moment.

When she did react, her entire face was as dark as a pot bottom, with no trace of the previous fragility.

"Someone come!"

"Miss." A nanny stepped forward a few steps.

"Go find out clearly where Mu Huarong is living now."

"Yes, the old slave will go immediately."

Mu Huaen returned to Yushu Alley, her forehead throbbing in pain, she hadn’t expected to encounter Mu Huarong so soon.

She actually didn’t want to see this sister at all, too hypocritical.

Looks like she needs to leave the Capital City quickly, even if she doesn’t leave, she must find another place to stay, otherwise, it will be troublesome if Mu Huarong comes looking.

"Was your face splashed intentionally by her, or by accident?"

This voice suddenly appeared in the room, startling Mu Huaen.

"Why are you here? Didn’t you send Mu Huaen back?" She paused and asked, "Don’t you need to attend the court?"

Hearing the full name, Ye Haoyang knew there was a big conflict between the sisters.

"It’s my house, isn’t it normal for me to come?" Ye Haoyang rarely smiled, "You haven’t answered my question yet."

"I refuse to answer that question." Mu Huaen thought for a moment and then said sincerely, "Although this is your house, this room is now where I live. Isn’t it not quite right for you to barge in like this?"

"Haha, what, are you afraid I’ll do something inappropriate to you?" For some reason, talking to her made Ye Haoyang feel very happy.

"Normal people would feel no inappropriate thoughts upon seeing my face." Mu Huaen didn’t even glance at him, casually pulled out a book from her box and flipped through it, as if he didn’t exist.

Ye Haoyang tapped his fingers on the table, inadvertently glanced at the book she was holding, and his eyes flickered.

Mu Huaen noticed from the corner of her eye that he stood up, thinking he was about to leave, then said, "Remember to close the door for me when you leave, it’s best to knock next time."

"Knock?" Ye Haoyang chuckled, "I have to knock to enter my own house?"

Speaking again, he stepped forward, then grabbed the book from her hand, casually flipping through it.

"Huarong, why are you reading medical books?" Ye Haoyang asked with a half-smile, "Bai Zhi, Mongolian milkvetch... Do you understand them? The one in the Mu Family with the least aptitude for medicine is reading medical books, truly remarkable."

Listening to these words, Mu Huaen’s heartbeat quickened a few beats, feeling that there was more to his words, or was she being overly sensitive?

After a while, she calmed down inside, exhaled and took back the medical book calmly, "Long illness makes a doctor, with injuries on the face, taking medication and applying ointments often, isn’t it normal to look at medical books?"

Ye Haoyang chuckled upon hearing this, suddenly leaning in and whispering in her ear, "Huarong, I picked up something yesterday, do you want to take a look?"

Mu Huaen’s eyes flickered, her breathing momentarily halted, could it be that the gemstone necklace was picked up by him?

"You seem very nervous?"

"Brother Ye Er, are your eyes bad?" Mu Huaen suddenly looked up straight at him, "Why tell me what you picked up?"
