Ye Zhen had always been a hedonist. She believed in instant gratification, so she was quite satisfied with the results of last night's exercise.
She was very self-aware. She was playing the role of Ye Zhen. In Lu Beichuan's eyes, she was his wife. It was natural for husband and wife to do this kind of thing.
But what she couldn't stand was being played around by others.
She walked over to Lu Beichuan's bed and leaned over to look at Lu Beichuan's sleeping face. She stared at his motionless eyes and thick black eyelashes.
If he was pretending to be asleep, there would definitely be a flaw.
Ye Zhen's gaze was only a hair's breadth away from Lu Beichuan's. Ye Zhen's shallow breathing sprinkled on Lu Beichuan's face. She could see with the naked eye the tiny fine hairs on his face moving slightly. Ye Zhen stared until her eyes were sore and red, but she didn't see any flaw.
Good willpower!
Ye Zhen got up and rubbed her sore waist as she went to the bathroom to wash up. She had been absent-minded the whole day. Even Mother Lu couldn't help but ask a few questions.
In the blink of an eye, it was nighttime. Ye Zhen passed by the kitchen and was surprised to see the old housekeeper, who had served the Lu Family for many years, putting a white pill into a cup of warm milk.
It was a pill taken from a white bottle. After putting it into the milk, the old housekeeper stirred it twice with a spoon.
Ye Zhen suddenly remembered that every night before she went to bed, she would drink a cup of warm milk personally served by the old housekeeper.
The housekeeper drugged her in the milk?
Why?
Ye Zhen didn't have time to think about it. The old housekeeper put the milk on the tray. Ye Zhen quickly hid behind a large vase. She didn't enter the kitchen until the housekeeper passed through the living room and went upstairs. The bottle of white pills was still on the table. Ye Zhen took one out and went upstairs as if nothing had happened.
Before she opened the door, the old housekeeper came out of the room. When he saw Ye Zhen, he smiled and said, "So Miss Ye is here."
"Uncle Shaw, are you looking for me?"
Uncle Xiao smiled and said, "I brought some milk for Miss Ye. It's on the table. Please drink it while it's hot."
Ye Zhen stared into Uncle Shaw's eyes as she said this, but those smiling eyes were full of love, without the slightest hint of malice.
"Alright, sorry to trouble you."
"It's my duty. Please rest early. Good night."
"Good night, Uncle Shaw."
After returning to the room, Ye Zhen naturally did not touch the glass of milk. She flushed it down the toilet.
Just in case, Ye Zhen found a tie from the wardrobe and tied Lu Beichuan's hands together. Only after tying a dead knot did she feel at ease to sleep.
Early the next morning, when William was doing his daily checks on Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen quietly invited William to the side.
William thought that she wanted to ask him about Lu Beichuan's situation alone, so he didn't think much about it and left the inspection to his assistant.
Ye Zhen handed a small white pill that she had stolen from the housekeeper to William.
"Doctor, can you help me take a look at what medicine this is?"
William took the pill. Ye Zhen continued, "I don't have any clues about this medicine. If you can't identify it right away, can I trouble you to …"
"Have you been feeling sore and weak recently?" Without waiting for Ye Zhen to finish, William stared at her and asked with a smile.
Ye Zhen froze for a moment, then nodded.
"I prescribed this medicine for you."
Ye Zhen looked at him with a pair of eyes full of questions.
"Old Master Lu saw that you had a hard time taking care of Mr. Lu, so he specially asked me to prescribe you medicine to help you sleep. He asked the housekeeper to put it in your milk to extend the time you sleep at night." William smiled and said, "Deep sleep can relieve your tiredness throughout the day and promote the human body's metabolism. It's very good for the body. But don't worry, this medicine won't do any harm to your body."
"You're saying that I've been feeling sore and weak lately because I've been working too hard during the day?"
William nodded. "I've seen you massaging Mr. Lu for an entire day. You're still young, so your body can take it, but it definitely won't be able to take it over time."
As a professional doctor, William was particularly sensitive to all pathological signs. He looked at the mottled red marks on Ye Zhen's neck and frowned. "Miss Ye, these red marks on your neck … Do you mind getting a checkup?"
"A checkup?"
"An allergy checkup." William said, "I suspect that you're allergic to something in this room."
Ye Zhen instinctively stroked the red marks on her neck. "You're saying that these red marks on my neck are really due to an allergy?"
William asked in return, "What else did Miss Ye think it is?"
Ye Zhen's cheeks suddenly turned red. She recalled the lingering scenes in her dreams and coughed awkwardly. "It's nothing. Thank you very much. I'll find time to go to the hospital for a checkup. "
William nodded gracefully again and left the master bedroom after finishing his daily checkup with a group of medical staff.
Ye Zhen looked at the man who was still unconscious on the bed and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
What on earth was she thinking about?
Lu Beichuan had been in a vegetative state for a year after the car accident. If he wasn't really in a vegetative state, why would he be lying in bed for a year?
There was no point in thinking too much about it. Ye Zhen tried her best not to think about things that had nothing to do with her.
Everything had been arranged properly, and everything was going according to Ye Zhen's plan. She would be able to leave the Lu Family successfully in three days, but before that, she had to get her ID card.
She had married into the Lu Family using Ye Qing's identity, so naturally, she would be using Ye Qing's ID card. Ye Zhen's ID card was still in the Family Ye, so she had to get it before she left.
She had to leave in three days, and Lu Beichuan would wake up in half a month. When that time came, even if the Lu Family wanted to look for someone, they would look for Ye Qing. Ye Zhen would be having a lot of fun.
As she thought about it, Ye Zhen sat beside Lu Beichuan's bed. There were faint red marks on Lu Beichuan's wrists that were placed outside the blanket. They were left behind by Ye Zhen when she tied his hands with the tie last night.
Ye Zhen gently massaged Lu Beichuan's wrists. She had put in a lot of hard work as a nurse, so she was a professional. After massaging for a while, the two red marks on Lu Beichuan's wrists disappeared.
Looking at Lu Beichuan lying on the bed, Ye Zhen was reminded of the dog she had raised for five years. Ever since she transmigrated here, she didn't know if that silly dog was eating well or sleeping well. She didn't know if she would ever have the chance to see it again in this lifetime.
At the thought of that dog, Ye Zhen's heart was filled with emotions. She sighed and said, "I've taken care of you for so long, and I've done my best. Although the jewelry and necklaces that the Lu Family gave to my sister were for her, I'm the one who married you, so it's understandable that I took some of them. Since we're fated to share the same bed, I'll give you a few pointers."
She thought of the unpredictable Lu Beichuan in the novel and said worriedly, "First of all, don't do anything illegal. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're powerful. No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape the punishment of the law!
"Second of all, you're a good man with a wife and a child. Why do you like to covet other women? Isn't it good to live a rich life?
"Third of all, if you have a child in the future, you must teach him well. You're the child's father, so you should set an example and teach him to walk the right path!"
These three points were probably the reason why the villains in the novel walked step by step into the abyss.
Although she knew that Lu Beichuan was unconscious and couldn't hear her, Ye Zhen still whispered, "You must live well and live openly."
Humans were visual creatures.
Such a handsome man was lying weakly in front of her. She knew what kind of dark life he would experience in the future. She knew how he would walk down the wrong path step by step. Wouldn't she want to save him?
Others didn't know, but Ye Zhen did have this thought. However, it was only this thought. It was impossible for her to stay by Lu Beichuan's side to help him avoid disaster.
She knew how much she was worth.
After going downstairs, Ye Zhen went to find her Mother Lu. She said that she had to go back to the Family Ye to get some things.
During this time, there were no potential threats to the Lu Family, so Mother Lu's mood improved a lot. She smiled and asked the driver to send her back. She also told her to be careful on the way back and that if she couldn't catch up, she could go back tomorrow.
This was exactly what Ye Zhen wanted.
As soon as the driver dropped her off at the Family Ye, Ye Zhen told the driver to go back first. She wanted to spend the night there.
Although the Family Ye couldn't compare to the Lu Family, it was still considered a small nouveau riche. For ordinary people, a three-story detached villa couldn't be bought even if they saved up for a lifetime.
"Qingqing?" Mother Ye saw Ye Zhen walk into the living room and got up happily. However, the next second, she suddenly thought of something and her mood instantly collapsed. "Ye Zhen?"
Ye Zhen hurried over and whispered, "Mom, it's me."
Mother Ye sighed and sat down. She sounded a little regretful. "Why are you back?"
"I came back to get some things. I'll leave right away."
Mother Ye nodded.
Ye Zhen knew that Mother Ye had always disliked her. It wasn't just because "Ye Zhen" was cowardly, dull, and mediocre. It was also because when Mother Ye gave birth in the hospital, Ye Qing went smoothly, but Ye Zhen's birth almost took Mother Ye's life.
As a result, Mother Ye had always been indifferent to Ye Zhen all these years. She didn't hate her, but she didn't care much about her either. She spent most of her energy on her eldest daughter, whom she was proud of.
Now that her eldest daughter had eloped with a poor man, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to eat enough and sleep well. For the past month, she had been tossing and turning in bed every day, unable to sleep.
Ye Zhen walked through the living room and into a room. The room was exquisitely decorated and had a very stylish layout. After thinking for a while, Ye Zhen knew that this wasn't her room. She closed the door and pushed open the door to another room.
In her room, she found her ID card in the desk drawer that was covered in dust. She put the ID card in her bag and turned to leave the room.
"Mom, I'm going back first." Mother Ye didn't like her, so there was no need for her to stay here any longer.
Mother Ye looked up and asked her, "Do you have any news about your sister?"
Ye Zhen shook her head.
Mother Ye sighed and waved at her disappointedly. "I got it. You can go back first."
She didn't have the slightest intention of asking her how life was in the Lu Family.
Ye Zhen nodded coldly. Mother Ye didn't have any feelings for her, and she didn't have any feelings for Mother Ye either. Naturally, she wouldn't waste any time here. She immediately turned to leave.
