Chapter 1743: Chapter 1743: Endured in Silence?
Wu Lingxi loved listening to him talk, finding his voice pleasant, which made her feel good. She also adored his looks, and since he enjoyed seeking thrills, before she was sold, the two would always stealthily sleep together here and there, risking being discovered, which caused Wu Lingxi’s already restless heart to become even wilder.@@novelbin@@
After all, Wu Dacai was just a pretty boy, two years older than Wu Lingxi, and still unmarried.
While Wu Lingxi was sold to the Yang family to serve as a maid, he occasionally missed her; after all, she was the only one in the village daring enough to join him in wild escapades outdoors. No other girl, even if he managed to secretly win her over, was as uninhibited as Wu Lingxi, and he always felt something was lacking.
Now that Wu Lingxi had returned, his interest was naturally piqued. That very night he sneaked into Wu Lingxi’s yard, just like in the past, and gently tapped on her window to gauge her willingness. If Wu Lingxi secretly let him in, then obviously they could continue their affair. If not, his attempt would fail.
Having returned, Wu Lingxi inevitably thought of Wu Dacai, with whom she had been involved. Honestly, she was quite fond of Wu Changcai’s appearance and still found his speech pleasant to the ear. She loved sweet nothings, whether they were sincere or not. She loved to hear them, and Wu Changcai was the only one who would always say such pleasing things to her. So, when she heard the familiar gentle tapping outside, she knew it was Wu Changcai. Having her own intentions, she naturally tiptoed out of bed, went to the window, and quietly opened it to hurry Wu Changcai inside.
Wu Changcai was naturally overjoyed.
The two resumed their secret rendezvous in the room.
Wu Lingxi’s sister-in-law got up in the night and heard noises. Previously, she would have definitely tried to catch them in the act, but now that her sister-in-law Lingxi had brought back so much money, and possibly more to come, she refrained from alerting the family to catch the adulterers. However, when she returned to her room, she secretly informed her husband, who was Wu Lingxi’s brother. Wu was angry, thinking Wu Lingxi was shameless for resuming such behavior as soon as she returned, but he also held back because Wu Lingxi now had money. Money gave her clout, and so he held his tongue.
The rest of the family, hearing the noises, did not react as they would have in the past, fearing the family’s dirty laundry would become public knowledge. Despite their anger, they pretended not to hear.

After seeing Wu Lingxi leave the estate, Xue Shi, Xue Bai, Xue Yifu, and Li Hehua returned home, not arriving until the Xu Time in the evening.
To prevent Xue Bai from being alone again and risking another incident, following this lesson, the family decided to have two secret guards, disguised as attendants, accompany Xue Bai daily from then on.
Because Xue Bai would indeed visit occasionally to ensure Wu Lingxi was safe, Xue Shi and the others were worried that their well-intentioned Xue Bai would feel guilty, thinking he caused Wu Lingxi’s misfortune, and wouldn’t bear to do anything to her.
Not only was Xue Shi furious, but so were Xue Ganggang and the others.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had already agreed to leave the matter to the younger generation and naturally did not intervene. However, it must be said that Wu Lingxi was clever; had she applied her intelligence to the right path, she would not have been so despised and loathed. Indeed, human life is full of different characters and personalities.
That day, Xue Shi and Xue Bai were both at the main shop in town, learning how to manage the business from their uncle, Xue Sifu.
