Chapter 128

Yao Yun'er’s expression stiffened as she observed the crowd’s reaction. Song Mingjian had been suffering from a stomach ailment since last night, resulting in constant diarrhea that had soiled all the bedding. Yao Yun'er had been so exhausted by the ordeal that she had barely slept. Early this morning, she had been busy scrubbing and washing the dirty linens, waiting for the sun to come out so they would dry in time for her to make the bed that evening. She knew that the ancestral hall was to be opened today and that the clan leader and elders would be present. She could not afford to be disrespectful, so despite her lack of sleep, she had meticulously tidied up and changed into a fresh outfit. But just before she left, Song Mingjian had another accident in bed. Somehow, the waste had touched his wounds, and he had grimaced in agony. Yao Yun'er had no choice but to clean him up. Perhaps it was her expression that had angered him; feeling humiliated and enraged, he had snatched the basin of waste and hurled it at her.
