FRGNM -Chapter 194 Not Suitable for Children

Quickly raising a hand to block the view, the Silver Wolf said softly, “Uh… I didn’t see anything, okay? Ruoxi just told me she went to the Helian residence. You two… just have fun, this isn’t suitable for kids. I’ll be going now.”

“The Helian residence!” Ning Yue exclaimed, staring at the Silver Wolf who was about to leave. “W-what did she go there for? No—I mean, how could Ruoxi go to the Helian residence?”

Sensing those two gazes, Ning Yue quickly corrected herself—she didn’t want her thoughts to be read.

Shrugging, the Silver Wolf pinched his own shoulder. “What else? She went to help Lady Helian with her illness, of course. Why are you so worked up? It’s none of your business. I heard you’re also from a respectable family—didn’t you know Lady Helian was sick? You seem to know her.”

“Uh… I don’t know her. Just go.” Ning Yue’s face flushed purple, teeth gritted tightly.

Tsk. Spitting softly, the Silver Wolf closed the door behind him. The most annoying women… no wonder Luo Mingyu has it rough.

“I… Mingyu, what about us now…” Ning Yue’s cheeks flushed, shyly lifting her head to look at the man in front of her, a faint blush coloring her face.

But in Luo Mingyu’s eyes, this was nothing but disgusting. Pretending to be all gentle, he pulled her into his arms and said softly, “Now, you belong to me.”

“Mingyu… can you help me punish the man who wronged me? I don’t dare go back, afraid you won’t help.” Ning Yue’s eyes were brimming with tears, her voice choking softly.

Patting her back gently, Luo Mingyu whispered, “You’re mine. How could I not help you? Tell me, who was that scoundrel? I’ll deal with him.”

“Really? It’s him… he’s the young master of the Helian family, Helian Yu…”

Meanwhile, the final needle was inserted, and Ling Ruoxi withdrew the silver needles, looking at the patient whose condition had visibly improved. She no longer coughed and could walk without support.

“Thank you, divine doctor! Thank you so much!” Helian Yu was visibly moved, helping Ye Xiang to sit up. “How do you feel now, Ye Xiang?”

“Much better, thank you, miss.” Ye Xiang smiled gently, nodding slightly.

The subtle, downcast grace was breathtaking—so delicate that Ling Ruoxi was momentarily lost in thought. She had never seen such a frail yet captivating woman. Even with her health improving, her shyness could not be concealed.

“It’s nothing. Young Master Helian, may we have a word?” Ling Ruoxi tilted her lips in a faint smile, nodding at the man before her.

Looking at the person in his arms, Helian Yu said softly, “Ye Xiang, rest first. I’ll be right back.”

“Go ahead, but don’t disturb the divine doctor.” Lying on the bed, Ye Xiang smiled faintly, the happiness evident in her expression. At this rate, she would fully recover in no time.

The servants had already been called away by Helian Yu. Sitting and sipping tea, Ling Ruoxi glanced at the newly arranged hall, smiling softly. “I think, Young Master Helian, you should tell me about your situation with Miss Ning Yue.”

“Clang!” The teacup in Helian Yu’s hand dropped to the floor. His face went pale as he turned sharply toward her. “Who told you?”

“No one told me. I guessed.” Ling Ruoxi set down the cup and slowly stood, her smirk irresistible, eyes gleaming with cleverness. “That day, you sent an assassin to kill Ning Yue. Coincidentally, I was nearby.”

“You were called by Ning Yue?” Helian Yu’s voice turned cold, fists clenched in his sleeves.

Shaking her hand lightly, Ling Ruoxi laughed softly. “No, I said it was just coincidence—I merely saved her.”

“Did she tell you?” His voice grew colder, gaze darkening. He wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin his happiness with Ye Xiang. That wretched woman didn’t deserve his love!

Shaking her head, Ling Ruoxi smiled faintly. “I didn’t say she did. I just guessed. I imagine she also suggested the sandalwood and lotus ideas in this courtyard. Lady Helian’s weak constitution required incense and medicine, and Ning Yue carried traces of both. Only a skilled physician could recognize it.”

With a flick of her right hand, Ling Ruoxi smiled gently, her alluring smirk sending a shiver down his spine. Everything she said was correct.

The hostility softened slightly. Helian Yu nodded coldly. “You’re right. Ning Yue is Ye Xiang’s personal maid.”

“I want to know what happened between you two, so I can figure out who I should help.” Ling Ruoxi sat, resting her chin on her hand, gaze fixed on him.

Helian Yu shivered, looking at her. “So… Ning Yue is still following you?”

“Yes, and she even put an aphrodisiac in my man’s meal. How should this debt be settled?” Ling Ruoxi glared at him, amused by the audacity of the maid using poison in front of a master of medicine.

Helian Yu’s face darkened further. “She already did that, and you didn’t kick her out?”

“She’s too precious to lose… besides, it was just a show. Stop sidetracking, tell me about your situation.” Ling Ruoxi almost got led off topic by him.

Looking embarrassed, Helian Yu sighed. “It’s all my fault. When I married Ye Xiang, Ning Yue was just a maid accompanying the bride. I should have taken her as a concubine. But I swore I’d only marry one woman.”

“On our wedding day, before entering the bridal chamber, Ye Xiang fell ill. I cared for her, but her condition worsened. Ning Yue comforted me during that time. Recently, the physician said Ye Xiang was beyond help and we should prepare… but I refused!”

He slammed his fist on the table. “How could Ye Xiang be beyond help? I dismissed that physician! But others said the same! I got drunk to drown my sorrows, and then… Ning Yue…”

His expression darkened. “She comforted me, saying everything would be fine. I didn’t understand, but the next morning, she was in my bed. More importantly… she was bleeding.”

“So that’s why you wanted to kill her?” Ling Ruoxi knew the importance of such a situation—Helian Yu had indeed fallen into Ning Yue’s aphrodisiac trap.

Shaking his head, Helian Yu continued, “I didn’t plan to kill her. I apologized for not being able to marry her. I knew a young master from the Wang family liked her, so I intended to arrange the marriage. But…”

“That meddling woman threatened me, saying if I didn’t marry her, she’d reveal our… situation! You know how Ye Xiang would react! I couldn’t let her know. I had no choice…” Helian Yu’s eyes were red. He wouldn’t have acted if not for the circumstances.

Ling Ruoxi tapped the table lightly, eyebrow raised. “I see. But don’t worry, it will all be resolved soon. When I inserted the needle, I pressed a bit harder.”

“What did you say?” Helian Yu’s body trembled, staring at her in shock.

Smiling faintly, Ling Ruoxi said, “Nothing serious. It’ll just make your wife sleep a little longer. You don’t want her to wake, right?”

“Master! Master! Something’s wrong!” A servant rushed in, almost falling, grabbing Helian Yu’s sleeve, trembling. “Master, Ning Yue has returned… with… the divine doctor’s friend, saying she wants justice!”

“You knew already, didn’t you?” Helian Yu raised an eyebrow at the clever woman. Timing was perfect.

Ling Ruoxi shrugged. “Enjoy the show.”

“Helian Yu, come out!” The furious woman stood in the courtyard, eyes bulging with anger, staring at him.

Helian Yu adjusted his clothes, expressionless, stepping out. “Ning Yue, what do you want? Haven’t you caused enough trouble for Ye Xiang?”

“Hah! I caused trouble? How?” Ning Yue laughed coldly, gripping Luo Mingyu’s arm, staring arrogantly at Helian Yu.

His face darkened. “You still won’t admit it? Mixing sandalwood and lotus with the incense, creating a deadly poison! Don’t think I don’t know. I spared you because you’re Ye Xiang’s maid, but don’t get carried away!”

Ning Yue’s face fell. She hadn’t expected Helian Yu to know. That had been her carefully laid plan—undetectable even to a physician.

“Hmph! I knew nothing about it! What mixing? I know nothing! Helian Yu, you traitor, Luo Mingyu already knows what you did. Today, he’s here to take your head. Want to kill me? Don’t even know your limits!” Ning Yue shouted, backed by someone, her temper stiffened.

Clapping her hands, Ling Ruoxi looked at the pair outside, eyebrow raised, smiling. “Mingyu, pfft, you two sure sound close.”

“Ruoxi, little sister, forgot to tell you—now I belong to Mingyu. You should call me sister-in-law.” Ning Yue, still unaware of the situation, leaned toward Luo Mingyu.

But the man directly pressed her face and pushed her outside—completely brutal, no gentlemanly airs.

Even pushed out, Ning Yue froze. Before this, Luo Mingyu hadn’t acted like this. Why now?
