Chapter 46 Seeking Thrills, the Sister-in-Law Faints
The moon sets, its clear light cold and desolate.
In the silvery light, snowflakes fluttered and danced, carried by the wind into the mourning hall, spreading a layer of silver frost, making the already gloomy mourning hall even more lonely and desolate.
Flames leaped in the brazier, and as the light and shadow flickered, paper ash swirled outside the flames.
The firelight reflected in Lin Shiyin's eyes, making her gentle face appear even more sorrowful. She silently returned to her original spot, knelt down again, and as she reached for the brazier, her fingertips were licked by the flames.
"hiss!"
Lin Shiyin instinctively withdrew her finger, gasped, and blew on it twice.
As she blew the wind, tears streamed down her face, dripping from her chin and soaking her mourning clothes.
She tried to hold back her tears, biting her lip to stop crying. Her left palm was pressed against her forehead, and her right hand gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, but she couldn't stop herself from crying. She could only suppress her sobs so that no one could hear her.
Her thin shoulders trembled and shook, and she collapsed to the ground. A sickly blush rose on her pale face, as if she had been frostbitten or as if her face was burning.
"I'm just afraid the fire will burn you."
I want to sleep with you.
Wei Wu's voice lingered in her mind, making her gag repeatedly.
She raised her head, and her naturally beautiful oval face was already streaked with tears. Her eyelashes trembled slightly in her tearful eyes, and her blurred vision became clear.
Under the flickering firelight of the brazier, the two memorial tablets seemed to have light and shadow, appearing like two ferocious faces before her.
But the two faces were quickly dismantled, replaced by her memories.
She was once a young lady from an official family, but she lost her mother at birth and her father at a young age. Her family's assets were all taken by her uncles and aunts. Her maternal uncle couldn't stand it anymore, so he took her to the Li family, where she grew up with her cousin Li Xunhuan.
Her uncle, eldest cousin, and second cousin all treated her very well, but the fact that she was living under someone else's roof made her always cautious, afraid of making a mistake.
Later, when the Li family suffered misfortune, her second cousin lost interest in his official career and chose to resign. Rumors began to circulate that her birth chart was unlucky and would bring misfortune to her family.
Although her cousin treated her as before, Lin Shiyin herself believed those rumors and became more and more cautious. Only when the snow fell each year would she happily put on a purple dress, melt the snow to brew wine, and laugh and play in the plum garden.
That period was probably the happiest time of my life.
But soon, her cousin betrothed her to Long Xiaoyun.
Lin Shiyin would never forget the moment Li Xunhuan told her about it. His eyes, which were as warm and gentle as jade, were filled with painful cracks, like shattered jade, like a pool of water covered with moss.
She could refuse.
But having received so much kindness from the Li family over the years, Lin Shiyin had grown accustomed to it and dared not refuse.
After having a son, Long Xiaoyun treated her very well, and she felt that it would be good to continue living like this.
But Li Xunhuan is back!
She came back with her son's body!
Then came Long Xiaoyun's death!
When she needed support the most, Li Xunhuan left again!
Lin Shiyin didn't know how long she had been crying, until her memories were all gone. In the blink of an eye, she felt a pang of sadness and suddenly realized that her tears had dried up and the fire in the brazier had become sparse, covered with a layer of ash.
The gloomy mourning hall grew darker, and a cool breeze from outside blew in a suppressed, mournful sob. Lin Shiyin couldn't help but hug her arms, goosebumps rising on her delicate skin.
She suddenly felt unwell and needed to relieve herself.
But seeing the receding silver frost at the entrance of the mourning hall, the menacing shadows, and the mournful cries, Lin Shiyin pursed her lips and softly called out, "Xiao Cui?"
The mournful cries echoed in the mourning hall. Lin Shiyin's heart felt like it was being clenched. Her pale face was full of turmoil. She could only bend down and add some paper money to the brazier, and then, with a little warmth, she groped her way to the back of the mourning hall.
Behind the mourning hall are not living quarters, but two corridors leading to the inner courtyard.
The left leads to the study; the right leads to the side room, and the washroom is in this direction.
The corridor surrounds the artificial hill and green plants. In the past, when I passed by here in spring, the artificial hill was layered like clouds, the clear water was gurgling, hundreds of flowers were blooming, and the greenery was lush. It was a beautiful sight that would make people feel relaxed and happy.
But as she passed by, the jagged rocks were covered with a layer of dim silver light, and the overlapping shadows and darkness instilled a sense of dread. The flowing water was hidden in the darkness, and the sound of its murmuring water made her feel even more embarrassed, with a kind of discomfort that she couldn't help but feel.
Lin Shiyin could only grit her teeth and quickly walk through the corridor.
But when she got to the nearest house and opened the door, she was greeted by a strong odor.
As someone who had been through it all, she naturally knew what it tasted like. Her pale face flushed crimson, and the tips of her ears became burning hot.
Want to withdraw?
But to my utter surprise, there was someone by the door!
A hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed her wrist!
Lin Shiyin's heart suddenly started pounding, her ears were ringing, and she froze, forgetting even to scream.
"Sister-in-law?"
The warm air touched her face, and a handsome face appeared before her. By the dim moonlight, Lin Shiyin could see that it was Wei Wu.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lin Shiyin only glanced at it once before realizing she had let her guard down too soon—
Inside, not only was Wei Wu there, but Lin Xian'er, with a playful expression, was also by the door!
Even with her mind completely blank, Lin Shiyin finally realized what these two were doing by the door. Her pale face flushed crimson, burning hot. She dared not look away, staring at them with a mixture of shame and anger, her voice trembling as she demanded, "You, what are you doing here!"
Lin Shiyin's gaze suddenly fixed on Lin Xian'er, sweeping over her accessories and hairstyle, then down to her clothing. Her rapidly beating heart suddenly slowed, and her face betrayed her panic.
"Why are you wearing my clothes?"
She even dressed up as me?
Lin Xian'er was also thick-skinned and showed no embarrassment at being discovered. She turned half of her body to the side, letting the dim moonlight shine on her snow-white skin. Her seemingly dignified and conservative clothes were already mostly undone. Wearing them on her, she not only lacked elegance and dignity, but instead looked so seductive and alluring that it was exciting.
She chuckled, "Don't be offended, sister. My master wants to sleep with you, but he won't listen to me and force myself on you, nor will he drug you. So I, as his younger sister, have no choice but to reluctantly dress up as your older sister."
Lin Shiyin felt dizzy and disoriented. She never imagined such disgusting things could exist in the world. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Why are you at the door?"
Lin Xian'er noticed Lin Shiyin's unusual expression, chuckled, and said with amusement:
"Since we're going to seek thrills, let's go all the way."
She brought her face close to Lin Shiyin's, deliberately crouching down to sniff, and the playful smile on her face instantly froze. Her beautiful face recoiled abruptly as she suppressed the urge to vomit, staring at Lin Shiyin in disbelief and saying:
"You, weren't you eavesdropping just now?"
Lin Shiyin was stunned, then realized what was happening. She looked down and felt so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Under this series of stimuli, she finally rolled her eyes and fainted. Fortunately, Wei Wu held her hand the whole time and gently pulled her into his arms.
Lin Xian'er stood up, unable to hide her disdain, but then her eyes darted around and her face lit up with a fawning expression, "Congratulations, Master, this can be considered as me throwing myself into your arms~"
"This is like falling into a wolf's den, it's not like you're throwing yourself into someone's arms," Wei Wu said irritably, tossing the person to Lin Xian'er and pinching her twice.
"Take good care of her, I'm going to meditate and regulate my breathing."
Lin Shiyin was not a mortal enemy, so Wei Wu would naturally not take advantage of her vulnerability.
He doesn't like dead fish.
Ideally, the relationship should be consensual and completely innocent; otherwise, it's like stirring up a hornet's nest—not only will it be unpleasant, but it will also lead to a constant stream of troubles.
