Chapter 76 Cutting Wrists
In the business world, Chen Zhi and Xu Shu were working hard. In the backyard of their home, Feng, who had been under house arrest for a long time, found herself unable to come out after all kinds of troubles, and finally came up with a big move.

It rained outside that night, and the temperature was lower and not so hot, so I could sleep well. But I didn't expect that there would be a commotion in the mansion in the middle of the night.

Meixiang was on night duty. She was usually steady, but now she was so anxious that she knocked on the door even faster.

"Oh no, Madam, something happened at Wanshuangzhai, Madam committed suicide by cutting her wrists!"

In order to show the good relationship between husband and wife, Chen Zhi would sleep on the small couch here with Xu Shu every few days to hide from others. Because it started to rain after dinner last night, he took the opportunity to stay. At this moment, the two people who were sleeping in separate beds were startled by the sudden knock on the door.

They all sat up in a hurry.

After hearing the noise outside, Xu Shuyi was overwhelmed and quickly got out of bed.

"Have you consulted a doctor? How is the patient now?"

As she spoke, she walked out and was about to open the door, but Chen Zhi quickly grabbed her and indicated that her bedding was still on the couch.

Xu Shuhe thought to himself that he was almost exposed.

So I quickly packed my bedding with him and stuffed it into the closet.

In a panic, Xu Shuhe tripped over himself while holding the quilt. Chen Zhi quickly reached out and pulled him into his arms.

The summer pajamas were thin and light, and the soft and warm body pressed against them suddenly, making Chen Zhi tense up all over.

The main thing was that the place he grabbed was not the waist, but Xu Shuhe's armpit, so his arm just touched the soft and elastic part of the woman's body. At that age when she was full of vigor and vitality, even an unintentional teasing could be fatal.

Fortunately, Xu Shuhe was busy collecting things, and quickly stood up with the help of him. She did not notice his slightly embarrassed expression, or the red ear that was bleeding. Instead, Chen Zhi seized the opportunity, took a deep breath, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

After they had packed up, they opened the door and called Meixiang in.

While helping Xu Shuhe change her clothes, Meixiang told him about the situation at Wanshuangzhai.

It was said that Feng was already dying. If the maid Yutao had not gone in to cover her with a quilt because it was cold tonight, she would not have discovered that she had cut her wrists.

"Madam even wrote a suicide note. It looks like she really doesn't want to live anymore." Meixiang whispered.

Chen Zhi sneered, "If you really don't want to live, you should die quietly. Now that you've been discovered at the perfect time, you don't look like you don't want to live."

"Okay, just say this in our courtyard. Don't do anything stupid in front of your father-in-law," Xu Shuhe reminded.

She herself could see that this was another of Feng's tricks.

I thought to myself that it was really noisy. The time I had been in the Chen family was more exciting than the previous few years.

After getting dressed and packing, when the two of them rushed to Wanshuangzhai, Chen Huaiqian was already inside.

He lives nearby, so it's not surprising that he comes quickly.

Chen Jin and Li Mingzhu arrived at about the same time as them.

When he entered the room, he saw Feng, who looked pale and weak, lying on the couch, crying silently. Her exposed wrists were wrapped in thick gauze. Chen Huaiqian was sitting beside the couch, his face unable to hide his heartache.

"Master, why don't you just let me go? I was blinded by greed and did something stupid, which hurt the harmony of the family. I also let the servants act recklessly and killed an innocent life. I deserve to die. I can't face the master and the Chen family. I'd rather die."

Feng's voice was very low, trembling slightly, and her breath was weak.

Chen Huaiqian was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which should be the suicide note written by Feng as Meixiang mentioned.

"Why are you so stupid? I was just angry and said a few words to you and asked you to reflect for a few days, but I didn't really want you to leave me. If you were gone, how could I face the children at home? Xun'er is still studying in the capital and will be back soon. He will definitely pass the imperial examination next year. Don't you want to see with your own eyes that our son has a promising future? How can you make the children sad and make me sad!"

Listening to Chen Huaiqian's words and tone, Xu Shuhe lowered his eyes silently, knowing in his heart that Feng's self-torture trick had worked.

Chen Zhi on the side had a calm expression, but if you looked closely at his eyes, you could see a hint of coldness.

Only Chen Jin was really anxious. As soon as Chen Huaiqian finished speaking, he rushed to the bed, grabbed Feng's hand and cried.

Li Mingzhu also hurried over. Both husband and wife looked sad and scared.

After meeting her biological son, Feng acted even more hard, and both mother and son seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances.

Of course, only Chen Huaiqian believed it.

Xu Shuhe and Chen Zhi looked at each other, neither of them bothering to say anything.

There's no point in saying anything. At this moment, it's obvious that Chen Huaiqian has lost his mind.

So there is no doubt that Feng's house arrest has ended.

However, this time when Feng attempted suicide by cutting his wrists, he did lose a lot of blood. In addition, he had not eaten or slept well in the past few days, so he was already quite weak. He really needed to take good care of his body for a while.

So even though her house arrest was lifted, she still had to rest. Chen Huaiqian didn't ask her to be the head of the household, and the affairs of the mansion were still under the management of Xu Shuhe.

Feng also knew that she couldn't be anxious at the moment, so she put on a calm attitude and didn't complain at all.

She also acted considerate and advised everyone to go back and rest, and not stay here for her.

Li Mingzhu had not expected that her mother-in-law would use such a cruel method to get rid of the house arrest. Thinking that she had just caused Chen Jin to lose a child, she felt guilty and was afraid that Feng would settle the score with her when she got better, so she was busy being attentive and showing her filial piety.

She asked everyone to go back and rest, and she stayed alone to take care of the patient.

Feng didn't refuse, as she just happened to have something she wanted to arrange for Li Mingzhu to do.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both had a lot of things on their minds, but Xu Shuhe was too lazy to fight with them. Since someone wanted to be a filial daughter-in-law, she would not argue. She said a few polite words and went back to rest.

It’s the middle of the night.

Chen Zhi took the trouble to send Chen Huaiqian back.

When he turned back, Xu Shuhe was already lying on the couch.

There was no bed made for him.

After Chen Zhi came in, Xu Shuhe opened his eyes and took a look at him.

"came back."

"Yeah." Chen Zhi responded softly.

He then walked to the cabinet beside the bed and prepared to make the bed himself.

Seeing him coming over, Xu Shuhe was already drowsy. Without thinking much, she rolled around on the bed to make some space and raised her hands to pat.

"Go to bed, it's getting late."

This action made Chen Zhi pause. He looked at the cabinet that was close at hand, then at the empty space on the bed, and then...

He chose to take off his coat and lie down on the couch.

I thought to myself that this was my wife's initiative to invite me, and it would be embarrassing to refuse. Girls are shy and I would not want to embarrass myself.

Besides, he was just sleeping and didn't do anything else.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at the woman next to him who had closed her eyes, and his heartbeat quickened.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and lay down properly.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Xu Shuhe woke up first.

When I turned over and opened my eyes, I found someone lying next to me. I was so scared that I jumped up immediately.
