The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2449 - 28

"Huarong is Huaen, Huaen is Huarong."

After saying this, he raised his head and took a few gulps, then slowly spoke, "I went to the Mu Residence last night, and Chengcheng told me everything."

"Since you already know, why are you acting crazy and drinking?"

"I’m sad, my heart aches... Brother, how much must it hurt her?" Half of her face is gone.

After all, they were twins, Ye Haoxuan could feel the pain in his heart.

"What’s done is done. Being upset is not what you should be doing now." Ye Haoxuan was also shocked when he first heard the news, surprised that there could be such a ruthless woman. "Don’t you want to do something for Huaen?"

"Of course not!" Ye Haoyang sneered, "She even wanted to sell Huaen into the deep mountains. Ha, I’ll let her taste what it’s like to suffer the consequences of her actions."

Ye Haoxuan shook his head, "You can’t handle it this way, listen to me, let the Mu Family deal with it themselves. I’ll write to Funan, asking them to return to the capital as soon as possible."

"Brother, we can’t leave it to the Mu Family." Ye Haoyang stood up, "They’re both his daughters. Huaen has already been ruined, what could Uncle Mu do? He probably wouldn’t have the heart to do anything to Huarong."

"But if you do something, Uncle Mu might hold you responsible."

"I know what I am doing."

Yushu Alley

Early in the morning, Mu Huaen noticed the window was open, finding it strange, but she just assumed it was Zhuan’er who forgot to close it last night and didn’t think much of it.

What she didn’t expect was that for several consecutive days, she found the window open when she woke up in the morning.

Mu Huaen was deep in thought as she stared at the window, not noticing Zhuan’er entering.

"Miss, breakfast is ready."

"Miss?"

"Oh." Mu Huaen nodded, walked to the door, and after some thought, asked, "Zhuan’er, did you close the window last night?"

"I did." Zhuan’er nodded, "The sky was overcast during the day yesterday, and I was afraid it might rain at night, so I closed them before going to sleep."

"Really?" Mu Huaen glanced at her, "You closed them every day?"

"Yes." Zhuan’er blinked, "I even check again before going to bed."

"But look at my window!" Mu Huaen pointed at the window.

Zhuan’er followed her hand and looked, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh my! Why is it open? I clearly closed it!"

Zhuan’er, being a clever girl, turned pale as she remembered Miss Huaen’s earlier question, "Miss... have the windows been open for a few days now?"

"Yes."

"Miss..." Zhuan’er grasped her hand, looking pitiful, "Could it be haunted?"

"Nonsense, where would a ghost come from? Even if there were ghosts, I’d scare them away. Come on, let’s have breakfast."

Zhuan’er was timid, so the topic wasn’t pursued further, but she remained cautious.

At night, after blowing out the lights, Mu Huaen snugly tucked into her bed.

Zhuan’er was supposed to stay and sleep with her, but Mu Huaen sent her out, considering her a hindrance due to her timidity.

"Creak..." At midnight, as expected, the window was opened again.

Mu Huaen kept her eyes closed tightly, yet she heard slight footsteps.

The sound grew closer, finally stopping by her bed, and someone sat down.

"Sigh..."

Hearing the sigh, Mu Huaen abruptly opened her eyes.

"Since when did Brother Ye Er become a night owl? Sneaking into my room in the middle of the night—it better not be a mistake."
