Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Silent Grief
Xie Yanghui noticed Zhan Wenmin’s hesitation and looked at him. Seeing Zhan Wenmin’s expression, Xie Yanghui’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered what You Xiaocheng had said to him before.

Xie Yanghui’s lips trembled, and he asked, “Where is Ling’er?”

Zhan Wenmin lowered his head, and his jaw tensed. Looking at his red eyes, Xie Yanghui’s body became cold.

After a moment of silence, Zhan Wenmin suddenly knelt on the cold floor and said with tears in his eyes, “Madam… Madam passed away. When she gave birth to the eldest young lady, she died of a massive hemorrhage. Master… this is my fault! I deserve to die! Master, please punish me!”

When Zhan Wenmin cried sadly and begged Xie Yanghui to punish him, Xie Yanghui just sat there motionless. He felt cold and couldn’t hear anything. The world in his eyes suddenly lost its color, and the heavy sky pressed on his body.

Seeing him sitting there motionless, Zhan Wenmin grabbed his right hand and said, “Master, please say a word.”

Xie Yanghui lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant on his left hand. His eyes stung, and his heart ached.

“Lao Zhan, I want to be alone.” He said hoarsely.

Zhan Wenmin was worried about leaving Xie Yanghui alone, but he knew that Xie Yanghui needed time to mourn the loss of his wife. Zhan Wenmin wiped his tears casually with the back of his hand and stood up. He looked at his Master for a moment and then left the study.

When the sound of closing the door came, Xie Yanghui frowned, and his heart tightened. The next second, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

He knelt on the cold floor and coughed violently. After a while, he finally stopped coughing up blood and looked at the jade pendant. He stared for a long time, not noticing the tears blurring his vision. Xie Yanghui gritted his teeth, clenched the jade pendant, curled up in pain, and cried silently.

Standing outside the door, Zhan Wenmin closed his eyes when he heard low sobbing sounds coming from the study. He stood there for a long time until the sun disappeared over the western horizon.

When there was no more sound in the study, Zhan Wenmin said hoarsely to the two soldiers guarding the door, “Let me know if anything happens to Master.”

The two soldiers didn’t know what happened to their Master, but from Zhan Wenmin’s expression and red eyes, they knew something serious must have happened to Xie Yanghui. The two soldiers clasped their fists and said, “Yes, General Zhan.”

After Zhan Wenmin left the main courtyard, he returned to his courtyard to handle the accounts. Because of him, Xie Yanghui lost his wife. He couldn’t let Xie Yanghui lose his home, and he couldn’t let Duan Yixin have no place to call home.

The gloomy atmosphere shrouded Xie Guogong’s Mansion, but Yan Junwang’s Mansion was full of laughter. Chi Xinru was sitting around a large table filled with food, biting into a large chicken leg.

Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Chi Xiyou sighed and said, “Eat slowly. No one will take your food away.”

Chi Xinru swallowed the chicken with oil on her lips and said, “Elder Brother, try this. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious roast chicken.”

She picked up a piece of chicken leg, put it in her elder brother’s bowl, and continued to eat happily. Duan Yixin looked at them and smiled.

Sitting beside her, Xuan Ruiquan noticed she didn’t eat much and picked food for her, “Xin’er, why don’t you eat more?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “I’m full.”

Hearing her answer, Xuan Ruiquan frowned slightly and said to Su Dingchao, “Uncle Su, prepare a bowl of pear bird’s nest soup.”

Su Dingchao, who was standing on the side, smiled and said, “Yes, Wangye. I will get it ready right away.”

Soon, he came back with a tray. Su Dingchao stood next to Xuan Ruiquan with a tray and said, “Wangye, the soup is here.”

Xuan Ruiquan reached for a bowl and placed it in front of Duan Yixin, “Xin’er, drink some soup. You don’t eat much, and I’m worried that you will be hungry later.”

Duan Yixin had no appetite, but seeing Xuan Ruiquan and Su Dingchao staring at her, she still picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. When she tasted the sweet and refreshing soup, Duan Yixin smiled and said, “It’s delicious.”

Xuan Ruiquan smiled and pushed another bowl toward her, “Since you like it, drink more.”

Duan Yixin looked at the other bowl and said helplessly, “I can’t finish it.”

“Don’t worry. I will drink it all if you can’t finish them.” Xuan Ruiquan said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Duan Yixin blushed, the Chi siblings rolled their eyes, and Su Dingchao’s smile almost made the servants blind. After they finished their dinner, it was already very late.

Chi Xinru stood up, rubbed her bulging belly, and said, “Xin Xin, General Xuan, I’m going back first. Thank you for the delicious meal.”

Chi Xiyou also stood up and said, “Let’s go back together.”

Seeing the brother and sister walk away while talking, Xuan Ruiquan turns to Duan Yixin and asks, “Do you want to go out for a walk?”

Duan Yixin didn’t know what had happened to her. An hour after arriving, she suddenly felt heartache. She checked her body but found nothing, but the depression and pain in her heart were still there. She had no appetite today because of these feelings.

Xuan Ruiquan actually noticed something was wrong with her, but he didn’t dare to ask. He was afraid that her bad mood had something to do with what he said to her before. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he remembered the lake near the mansion and wanted to take her there to relax.
