“How would I know what’s going on?” Muniang said indifferently, and then turned to enter the room.

Qinghe hurriedly followed, “Your mood is off, what else are you hiding from me? If you don’t speak up, won’t you just feel suffocated keeping it to yourself?”

When Muniang entered the room, Qinghe closed the door, “Who is that woman, what kind of acquaintance? How did you meet her?”

Muniang, seeing Qinghe’s determination to get to the bottom of things, didn’t care to hide any longer and simply told her everything. Qinghe frowned and pondered for a while, “To not save a dying person is not what a gentleman does, let alone an acquaintance. Yu Ze was indeed right to save her, but why do I feel so suffocated inside?”

Muniang felt that they truly had a sisterly connection, their reasoning was exactly the same.

“Forget it, I can’t be bothered to think about this. Guessing is pointless. I’ll watch what he does and how he explains. If he really has feelings for another woman, then such a man is not worth my concern.”

Muniang’s eyes were cool but her heart ached slightly. She casually rolled up her trouser leg, revealing a knee already bruised purple, “Bring me some medicinal liquor.”

Qinghe was startled, “How come you are injured, why didn’t you say anything earlier?” She was already rummaging through the cabinets for the medicinal liquor.

Thinking of the woman who had just fainted from a slight cut on her arm, Muniang spoke in a light voice, “It’s just a fall, nothing as serious as fainting at the sight of blood.”

Of course, Qinghe could hear the injustice in Muniang’s voice, and she couldn’t hold back anymore, unleashing her anger, “What on earth is up with that woman? Why do I feel like she’s just putting on an act? Yu Ze is really too clueless about women, isn’t he? His own wife is being treated like this and he’s still foolishly attentive to someone else. I think he had more emotional intelligence when he was ‘simple’.”

The term “emotional intelligence” was something Qinghe had learned from Muniang. Spending time together, Muniang would occasionally come up with some new terms, and over time, Qinghe also became quite influenced by them.

Muniang casually wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, stubbornly unwilling to face her own weakness, “I’m fine.”

“You’ve cried, yet you claim you’re fine! Why are you so foolish, letting them have their way? You should’ve cried in front of Yu, and you’d see how quickly he’d forget the other woman’s name, why hold on to the grievance yourself?”

Muniang wiped the tears from her face, her emotions already calmed, “Qinghe, you don’t understand, in matters of love, I don’t want to use any tricks. A man who needs you to employ various schemes to keep his heart, isn’t worthy of your love.”

Qinghe sighed, understanding Muniang. Although she didn’t quite grasp some of her thoughts, she could appreciate Muniang’s self-respect when it came to love.

Muniang watched Qinghe apply medicinal liquor to her wound; the pain made her break out in cold sweat yet she didn’t want to make a sound. Reflecting on her time in this Different World, she could recall crying genuinely only twice—once when he nearly lost his life climbing a mountain to save her, and now, because he almost got her killed trying to save another woman.

Muniang gave a self-deprecating smile; sometimes fate truly had a way of mocking people.

The door was pushed open without warning, and upon seeing Muniang’s bruised knee, Yu Ze’s brow furrowed deeply, and he quickly approached, “What happened? Didn’t you say you weren’t injured? Is it serious?”

Qinghe glared at him annoyedly, “Don’t you know to look for yourself to see if it’s serious? Don’t you know to observe for yourself if you’re hurt?”

Yu Ze paused for a moment but didn’t speak, he sat down to take the medicinal wine from Qinghe’s hand. Qinghe huffed, then struggled out with her swollen belly, puffing and panting.

“I know you should be angry with me, I was wrong for not protecting you and almost causing you harm. But don’t joke with your own health, it’s so unworthy,” Yu Ze’s tone was full of distress, and in his heart, he cursed himself for being so blind. At that time, when she fell from the carriage, he actually didn’t think she would get hurt, believing that since he had caught her and cushioned her fall, she should have been alright.

Muniang just looked at him, “You’ve never spoken about that woman’s background.” Remembering Hei Bao and others’ vague descriptions of their relationship, Muniang felt uncomfortable. Yu Ze’s woman?

Heh, who was it that said he had never had a woman the night before?

Yu Ze said, “She was originally my betrothed by a marriage arrangement, but the engagement was broken three years ago. There’s nothing between her and me, that’s why I didn’t mention it.”

Muniang chuckled softly, “Then why would she travel thousands of miles to come here? Why would she wait for you until she was nineteen and still unmarried?”

Yu Ze pulled Muniang into his embrace, “Muniang, I’ve told you, in this life, you are my only wife. It is absolutely impossible for there to be another woman. She did that on her own volition, I never gave her any hope. Please don’t be angry about this, alright?”

Muniang pursed her lips and pondered for a long while before speaking firmly, “Yu Ze, I believe whatever you say, and I don’t like any mistrust between us. But I also hope you don’t lie to me. The trust I give you is not a capital for you to mess with. If you can’t be honest with me, then I can only let go.”

Yu Ze’s heart tightened, he had always known Muniang wouldn’t depend on him, but still, upon hearing such words, the anxiety and nervousness in his heart were still so strong. His arms involuntarily tightened a lot, “I can’t let go, Muniang, don’t even think about letting go in this lifetime, because I absolutely won’t allow it.”

“Whether or not to let go is up to you. When you force me to that step, there’ll be nothing more to say.”

The door creaked open, Muniang and Yu Ze looked over, it was He Suxue, still slightly pale, her arm now wrapped in gauze, presumably having been bandaged. She asked softly, “I’m sorry, I’ve caused trouble for Yu. I—”

Muniang interrupted softly, “You woke up quite quickly. Did the doctor pinch your philtrum while he was bandaging you?”

He Suxue smiled, “No, maybe it’s because Yu wasn’t by my side, I didn’t feel at ease, so I woke up.”

Muniang’s eyes narrowed slightly, was this girl trying to provoke her in front of her face?

“Husband, she says she feels uneasy without you by her side, what should we do about that?” Muniang eyed Yu Ze.

Yu Ze’s face had already turned cold, “You should recover well, and you’ll return to the capital tomorrow. Don’t linger outside. I’ve already written to the capital about your leaving without permission and the trouble you’ve caused. Your parents are probably frantic by now. There’s nothing else, you may leave. At least in someone else’s house, you should understand basic manners. Have you learned all your etiquette for nothing?”

He Suxue’s face turned the color of a liver; she simply couldn’t imagine that Yu Ze would so publicly humiliate her in front of this woman.
