Sweet Wife in My Arms

"Madam, running away will not solve anything. No matter where we hide, we would still be found out eventually," she said while wiping the table. However, she was grumbling deep in her heart: You are the one who should hide. I did not commit any crime. She was only a maid whom Qin Xiaoyue had hired. She was not the one who pushed Ye Shuyun, so she did not have to live a life in hiding.

Both of them were planning to throw the other one under the bus. They did not want to be the one responsible for injuring someone. Anyway, it was the other's fault and both of them felt that they were innocent themselves.

Ye Shuyun stayed in the hospital for three days and returned home after that. Since she still had a bone to pick, she could not stay in the hospital any longer. Moreover, it was not a serious injury, so she had started to feel restless and could not stand even another day in the hospital.

When she got home, the first thing she did was to go to Lu Jin's study to make sure that everything was in their rightful place. If Qin Xiaoyue had dared to take anything, Ye Shuyun would give her a nice hard slap on the face.

"I want to find Qin Xiaoyue."

Despite seeing that everything was untouched, she could not stand it any longer. She yearned to seek her revenge.

She would not be a woman if she did not seek her revenge.

Lu Jin immediately held on to her.

"You just came back from the hospital, but you're already trying to cause trouble. Even if you do want revenge, you should consider whether your own body permits it."

Ye Shuyun had wanted to refute his words, but after she saw that Lu Jin was clearly unhappy, she dared not say another word about revenge. Yes, Lu Jin was right. She would do it later. Revenge is a dish best served cold after all.

Yes, she would let Qin Xiaoyue think she got off easy for the next few days.

When the time comes, she would hospitalise that evil woman.

Lu Jin was relieved to see that Ye Shuyun no longer clamoring to go out. He was not afraid that Ye Shuyun could not take Qin Xiaoyue down, as he would follow her and also ask the branch family about this matter.

However, now was not the time, as Ye Shuyun was still recovering from a slight concussion that would inhibit her movements. Presently, if she tried to think too much, she would start to have a headache. She could not get angry or tire herself out too much, so if she went now, she would just make herself suffer even more.

Fortunately, and to the delight of Lu Jin, Ye Shuyun had really decided to recover at home and did not leave the house at all.

Lu Jin thought that if she stayed home for a few days, she would forget about revenge. Maybe when she was in a good enough mood, she would forget about it completely. After all, while Qin Xiaoyue had went a little too far this time, it was not the first time she had made their lives difficult. Whenever she caused trouble, no matter how angry Ye Shuyun was, she would just let it go in the end. The anger would slowly subside.

However, that did not mean that Qin Xiaoyue could get off scot-free. He would deal with her personally. He would not let the two precious women in his family suffer in vain, especially Yan Huan, who was still in the hospital. He could not bear to see them being in such pain.

His poor daughter-in-law could not eat or sleep well, and would occasionally wake up from her rare bouts of sleep because of the pain. Even Lu Yi had become as bony as she was. These days, he seemed to have recovered a little and looked better, but no one could forget the pain that they had gone through.

A few days later, Lu Jin came back to find Ye Shuyun sitting in front of the TV. Little Bean was lying on her lap, its eyes squinted lazily and tail swishing from side to side.

To his surprise, Ye Shuyun was not watching TV, but seemed to be doing something on the table.

Lu Jin could not resist his curiosity and walked towards her. He stood behind Ye Shuyun. At that instant, the atmosphere seemed like the calm before the storm.

There was a sheet of paper on the table, and a picture of a person was drawn on it. Actually, it could not be considered as a person, because even elementary school students would have better artistic skills than the person who drew it. There was a circle to start things off, and then four matchsticks were added on each side as arms and legs. Another circle was drawn at the top which could be considered as a head, and had three words 'Qin Xiaoyue' written on it.

Ye Shuyun was currently stabbing that picture with a fruit knife.

This scene scared Lu Jin so much that he broke out in cold sweat, of which he did not know until he felt the back of his neck. No wonder his neck felt cooler than usual.

At the hospital, Yan Huan's pain had mostly subsided, and she did not need to have injections daily anymore. Although the back of her hand was still covered with needle marks, everything else had healed considerably.

A few days ago, her condition was much worse. The back of her hand was so swollen that it was hard for the nurses to insert the needle. As the days went by, some of the swelling disappeared and now her hands looked more like human hands instead of pigs' hooves.

"Lu Yi, what do you think about your mother? Was she possessed?"

Lu Jin shuddered at the thought of Ye Shuyun at the table, mutilating the little voodoo doll that she had drawn.

"She is reminding herself to seek revenge." Lu Yi picked up the milk beside him and and tested the temperature. Then, he placed it in Yan Huan's hands after ensuring that it was not too hot.

Yan Huan held the cup and drank it one mouthful at a time. Her eyes were constantly flitting between the father and son of the Lu Family.

"Is there anything we can do about it?" Lu Jin was worried because Ye Shuyun's recent actions were so unusual. She looked at everyone with a calculating look. If it was not for the fact that she was still brewing soup for him every day, he would have really thought she was possessed.

"Mum and Aunt would be back on civil terms after a fight."

Lu Yi lowered his head as he touched the plaster cast on Yan Huan's arm. The sight of that, in addition to how gaunt her face had become, caused a flash of violence to surface in his eyes.

Like Ye Shuyun, he had not forgotten how his woman came to be in this state. She was in so much pain, and had to take a whole three months off for rest and recovery. A normal person could not have endured this suffering.

He reached out and stroked her face. "You have to eat more today."

Yan Huan bit her quilt grumpily in protest.

She could not say that she did not want to, because Lu Yi had made it clear that there was no room for discussion. Her wishes did not matter - for instance, every day she had to drink a type of soup boiled from the bones of various animals such as chickens, cows and pigs, although she was a vegetarian. The housekeeper had said that since she had injured her bones, she had to drink this soup daily in large portions to speed up her recovery.

At home, Ye Shuyun had finally decided that she had stabbed the picture for long enough. Realizing that she had not seen her son for a long time, she said to Little Bean, "Little Bean, let's visit your daddy."

She promptly picked up Little Bean and made preparations to visit Lu Yi. Her son must feel lonely at home by himself so she would let Little Bean accompany him for a few days.

She asked the driver to send her directly to Lu Yi's residence. She stood outside his house with Little Bean in her arms, and knocked on the door.
