Chapter 488 The Sister-in-Law in Uncle-Sister Literature 32
Or perhaps, Lin Suwan didn't want to tell anyone about this.
That divorce letter was a disgrace to her.
If people found out, her identity as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duan family would become a joke.
Lin Suwan didn't think she had done anything wrong. She was the Duan family's lawfully wedded daughter-in-law, and Duan Yiyuan's attitude didn't matter.
She didn't want to leave the Duan family; she just wanted to choose a suitable identity and place for herself. What did she do wrong?
If she had actually returned to the Marquis of Wu'an's residence with the divorce papers, she would probably be dead by now. Facts have proven that her choice was the right one.
Everyone in the capital knows she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duan family. It is perfectly legitimate for her to stay here, and no one can drive her away.
Duan Yihuai had no idea what Lin Suwan was thinking. Seeing that she was unwilling to tell him the truth, his face darkened so much it looked like it was about to drip water.
"Why would you go to see Duan Yiyuan alone if there was nothing wrong? Why would you come out of his study crying if there was nothing wrong?"
Lin Suwan then realized what Duan Yihuai was thinking.
"Yihuai, you've misunderstood."
Lin Suwan reassured him, "Don't worry, although Duan Yiyuan and I are husband and wife in name only, he's not interested in me. Didn't you see that he doesn't want to live with me when he comes back?"
Even if she wanted to have something going on with Duan Yiyuan, he wouldn't allow it. The fact that he promised not to kick her out of the Duan family today is already quite remarkable.
"Then why did you go to him and cry?" Duan Yihuai asked again.
"I just went and had a fight with him."
Lin Suwan said ambiguously, "In short, there's nothing between him and me, so don't overthink it."
Even after Lin Suwan said that, Duan Yihuai's expression did not soften.
He looked at Lin Suwan and suddenly said in a sinister tone, "If only those two hadn't come back. Why did they have to come back? They shouldn't have come back to ruin our lives!"
Duan Yihuai wished he could go back to a few years ago, when he and Lin Suwan were the only ones in the Duan family, relying on each other for survival, and no one bothered them.
"Now that they're back, we have to sneak around to meet them. Duan Yiyuan has been given an official position again, so it seems he won't be leaving again."
As Duan Yihuai spoke, a thought popped into his mind.
"Perhaps I should find a way to get rid of them."
"Yihuai, don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Suwan was startled.
"Don't even think about murdering someone, especially your elder brother. He's a high-ranking official in the court. If something happens to him, do you think you can escape responsibility?"
She held Duan Yihuai's hand, trying to dissuade him.
Duan Yihuai didn't say anything more, but he didn't take it to heart.
He couldn't just do nothing. As long as Duan Yiyuan and Qi Ning were in the mansion, he and Lin Suwan wouldn't be able to be together peacefully. He had to deal with them.
Although dealing with two people is a bit troublesome, there's always a way if you're determined to do it...
Lin Suwan persuaded him for a long time before Duan Yihuai pretended to be convinced.
"I understand."
"That's good." Lin Suwan added, "Also, now that your older brother and Qi Ning are back, you can't come to see me so often anymore. Be careful to avoid suspicion so they don't find out."
Duan Yihuai concealed the murderous intent in his eyes: "I know."
Lin Suwan and Duan Yihuai, the uncle and sister-in-law, became increasingly careful to avoid suspicion, and Qi Ning and Duan Yiyuan also pretended not to know each other, and had not met alone since they returned.
On this day, Lu Yunxiu brought her younger siblings from the Qi family to visit Qi Ning at the Duan family home.
When the Qi family learned that Qi Ning was not dead, but had only lost her memory, they couldn't believe it at first, until they saw Qi Ning with their own eyes.
Lu Yunxiu didn't show anything on her face, still acting like a good stepmother, and asked Qi Ning about her well-being.
They stayed at the Duan family's house for half a day before returning to the Qi family's house.
Qi Ning saw them off at the mansion, then took Zi Xin and planned to return to her courtyard.
But as soon as she turned a corner, she saw Duan Yiyuan standing in front of her.
Duan Yiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking straight at her. Clearly, he had been waiting for her there on purpose.
"Miss, the young master is ahead," Zi Xin reminded her.
"Okay." Qi Ning responded, then turned to Zi Xin and said, "I need to say a few words to the young master. Keep an eye on things for me."
Zi Xin had already secretly asked Qi Ning what she had been doing for so long, how she ended up becoming the young master's maid, and how she even went back to the Duan family with him.
Qi Ning only told her that the eldest young master was someone she had specially invited back to help her.
When Qi Ning gave this instruction, Zi Xin naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it and obediently went to keep watch.
Duan Yiyuan went straight to Qi Ning.
Qi Ning grabbed his hand and led him behind the artificial hill: "Don't talk here, we can't be seen."
Duan Yiyuan was helpless; when had he ever done something so secretive?
But he still obediently followed Qi Ning behind the artificial hill.
"What are you doing here?" Qi Ning asked.
"I miss you."
Duan Yiyuan spoke directly, and then bent down and hugged Qi Ning.
Qi Ning couldn't help but chuckle when she heard his blunt words.
She nestled in his arms and hugged him back, coaxing, "I missed you too."
A smile finally appeared on Duan Yiyuan's face. He gently released Qi Ning and kissed her forehead.
"Did the Qi family come to see you today?"
"Yes, I just saw them off."
As Qi Ning spoke, she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, I heard that Lin Suwan came to see you a few days ago, and she came out crying?"
"Yes."
Duan Yiyuan did not hide anything and told Qi Ning everything that happened that day, including what he said to Lin Suwan.
"I can't wait to make our move."
Duan Yiyuan had no patience to waste time with Lin Suwan and the other two; he just wanted to get rid of them quickly and return to Qingzhou with Qi Ning.
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Don't rush, let me find some evidence to expose their affair."
"What leverage?" Duan Yiyuan asked, puzzled. "What if we can't find it?"
Now that they're back, Lin Suwan and Duan Yihuai are being very careful to avoid suspicion, so it won't be easy to find any fault with them in a short time.
"If there's no evidence, we'll create one. We're not wronging them," Qi Ning said.
Duan Yiyuan naturally thought the same thing.
"Then let's not delay for too long."
"Of course." Qi Ning nodded. "Don't worry, it won't be long."
She said with a look of disgust, "Do you think I want to see them? I get annoyed as soon as I see them, and I wish I could just kill them. I'm more anxious than you are."
Duan Yiyuan chuckled as he looked at Qi Ning's expression.
He lowered his head again, wanting to kiss Qi Ning.
But just then, Zi Xin rushed over.
"Girl, something terrible has happened..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Duan Yiyuan and Qi Ning embracing each other intimately.
Zi Xin only learned from Qi Ning that Duan Yiyuan was someone she had invited back to help her; she had no idea they would have this kind of relationship.
She was so shocked that her eyes widened and she covered her mouth tightly.
Duan Yiyuan frowned slightly, while Qi Ning pushed him away and asked Zi Xin, "What's wrong?"
