Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Shen Jingzhan’s soft and hard persuasion turned into a cold face.

He stirred up trouble here, leaving her breathless.

But at the last moment when he was ready to go, he asked her if it was okay?

If she said it wasn't intentional, Zhu Yinluan wouldn't believe it at all.

Not to mention that Shen Jingzhan at this moment is completely an old fox in her heart.

He wanted to force her deliberately, to force her to speak, to make her respond, to let her vent.

"No!" Zhu Yinluan refused fiercely, but after blurting it out, she realized that there was something wrong with her reply, so she immediately changed it, "No!"

It's both no and no, the girl in his arms is fierce.

She had already used all her strength to make her refusal clear and sound powerful. Even if it was not completely intimidating, it would at least have a deterrent effect.

But not only did it fail to have a deterrent effect, it even had the opposite effect.

Zhu Yinluan was completely invisible. At this moment, her eyes were full of spring water, her face was flushed, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked intimidating. To the man, she was like a kitten with its fur standing up, being held by the scruff of the neck, and breathing at him with its teeth bared.

So cute.

He couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile and kissed her. The sound of the kiss was a little loud. Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but whimper, looking even more pitiful, staring at him aggrievedly.

Her breath was still not even, the corners of her eyes were red, and her eyelashes were curled into clusters by the tears she was holding back.

Shen Jingzhan kissed her eyebrows and nose again. When the man's fresh breath mixed with warmth fell on her eyebrows, Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but tremble.

Her eyelashes were trembling, and she kept sniffing at the tip of her nose. Even her fingers couldn't help but clench the quilt.

Woo woo woo, she knew in her heart that she was going to resist and didn't want to be intimate with Shen Jingzhan, but for some reason, as soon as Shen Jingzhan's kiss fell, her body couldn't help it.

She pushed Shen Jingzhan, her attention forced to the kiss he dropped.

But they forgot the danger of reaching Yumen Pass.

He gradually invaded invisibly.

Zhu Yinluan did not notice it at first, but she soon reacted.

It’s also because we haven’t been close for a long time.

So Shen Jingzhan was terrifying to her.

Especially when the heat was approaching, Zhu Yinluan reacted instantly. She was about to step back to increase the distance between them, but how could the cunning old fox not have a backup plan?

He took advantage of her gentleness that was caused by her being moved, and continued to take advantage of her little by little.

Zhu Yinluan frowned, but she was not uncomfortable, she just felt shocked by his move.

More memories of intimacy come flooding back.

Especially the moment when the spring dew gathers into rain, causing the spring mountain to collapse.

Before it officially started, Zhu Yinluan already felt a strange sensation all over her body.

She managed to break free from her restraints and pushed the man away at this moment, "Leave me..."

She made a request.

Shen Jingzhan was still kissing her eyebrows, his kisses fell densely, and now moved to her ears.

He leaned over and whispered to her, "Luan'er's words and actions pushed me away, but...something else was gnawing at me."

"So do you want me to leave or stay?"

A deep and hoarse voice penetrated into her ears. Zhu Yinluan couldn't push him away, so she could only raise her hands, covering her own ears with one hand and covering the man's lips with the other hand.

Don't let him kiss or touch me.

But the effect is minimal.

Because Shen Jingzhan had already entered the city, he was using his "soft and hard" skills to break down the gate of Yumen Pass bit by bit.

Even though Zhu Yinluan had a plan in mind, there was nothing he could do at this moment.

So what else is she going to do?

She kept twisting her body to try to get away, but ended up making things worse.

Instead, it shortened the distance between the two of them, and made Shen Jingzhan get closer and hug her.

Tears welled up from the corners of Zhu Yinluan's eyes. This time, they did not accumulate in her eye sockets. Instead, they slid down the corners of her eyes and sank into the ends of her hair.

She was too nervous.

Shen Jingzhan was extremely uncomfortable with her kiss, with cold sweat on his forehead, "... Luan'er, don't panic, don't be afraid..."

Is this her revenge on him?

Zhu Yinluan took a breath of cold air, and beads of sweat slid down the girl's swan-like neck and fell into the socket of her collarbone.

Shen Jingzhan walked through the soft spring gauze, his movements gently pleasing the person in his arms.

Soon, she got used to it.

The main reason was that Shen Jingzhan’s kung fu was very good, and he knew her joy and pain clearly.

Know what to do to make her happy and keep doing it.

Along with the rhythm of the falling spring rain and the changes in the rain intensity, Zhu Yinluan gradually began to enjoy the pleasure of bathing in the rain.

This spring rain finally got heavier and heavier.

The rain soaked her from the inside out, beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead, and tears began to fall, no, they were squeezed out.

The moment when the spring rain completely submerged the Yumen city.

She was almost "broken" by the rain and could no longer hold back her sobs.

In addition, the girl in the rain couldn't help but curl up and clench her hands and feet, trying to avoid it.

She dodged left and right, sobbing.

It wasn't the pain, but the long-lost contact that caused her mind to be briefly dazed and blank.

The main thing is that it is difficult to adapt to such a "reunion after a long separation".

Shen Jingzhan was equally unable to suppress his emotions.

The spring breeze had not reached Yumen Pass for too long, so the girls guarding the city strengthened the defenses.

Although Chunyu managed to enter the city, he was also in trouble. He was trapped in the city for a while and could not escape.

"Luan'er..." he begged her.

Coax her, kiss her, and divert her attention.

Under the man's gentle and soft coaxing, Zhu Yinluan's thoughts were indeed diverted.

Realizing that the city was crumbling, the attackers relaxed slightly and unleashed the force of rain.

“…”

The spring rain is continuous.

At first it was just a drizzle, but gradually, due to the invasion of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, it became heavier.

The sound of the falling spring rain is very loud, and some of the rain cannot withstand the wind and rain, resulting in a weak and trembling sound.

The maids who were keeping watch outside couldn't help but blush.

By the end, Zhu Yinluan was completely exhausted and tired.

She still had some consciousness left, but because she had no strength, she could only raise her eyes vaguely and let Shen Jingzhan carry her to take a bath.

"I want Mingya to wash it for me."

Zhu Yinluan felt the man's big hands wandering on her body, and she couldn't help but tremble, not to mention that the memory of the intimacy just now was still vivid in her mind.

She was afraid that Shen Jingzhan would get interested again and do it again. After all, Shen Jingzhan had not completely calmed down just now. She said she was very tired and didn't want to continue, so Shen Jingzhan stopped. So she was very resistant.

If she asked Shen Jingzhan to help her clean it, she really didn’t know what would happen.

What if there was another quarrel in the bathtub? After thinking it over, Zhu Yinluan said reluctantly that she didn't want him.

The man saw through her thoughts, but did not expose them completely. He just teased her and asked, "Luan'er, don't you believe that I can serve you well?"

The maids nearby lowered their heads even more when they heard something was wrong, not daring to interrupt for fear of breaking the charming atmosphere of their masters.

Zhu Yinluan's face was still red, and her legs and feet were still weak, but she still said, "Get out, I don't want your help."

Shen Jingzhan raised his eyebrows and asked again, imitating her, "Really don't want it?"

Zhu Yinluan turned her head away, not even looking at the man's face as he approached her, "No."

Even so, she still saw the fresh scratches on the man's abdominal muscles caused by her scratching, and there were blood beads, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain.

"Okay, I'll listen to Luan'er."

Shen Jingzhan looked at her turned away face for a long time, reached out and pinched her, feeling the tenderness of her skin, and originally wanted to kiss her.

But seeing her frowning brows, if he really kissed her in front of everyone, who knows how she would make a scene.

Therefore, Shen Jingzhan just rubbed the side of her face with his fingertips, then stood up and told the maids beside him to take good care of her.

After Shen Jingzhan left, Zhu Yinluan lay dying, and Mingya and the maids quickly stepped forward.

She saw the corner of the man's clothes fluttering as he walked away...

On the other side, the old ladies went to deliver the message. When Mrs. Shen heard that someone was asking for water, she frowned and thought for a while, then asked how long the commotion had lasted.

Hearing that the old mother had been talking for a long time, Mrs. Shen frowned even more. She originally wanted to ask the old mother why she didn't persuade her, but when she thought of Shen Jingzhan's attitude at dinner today and the words he said under the corridor, Mrs. Shen finally swallowed her words back.

In the entire Shen family, no one dared to interrupt rashly. Even the old mother who had worked for her for a long time dared to say anything?

"Besides this, have you heard any other rumors?" Mrs. Shen asked.

The old mother was stunned for a moment, then realized what Mrs. Shen asked about the sound of the wind, and shook her head and said no.

"Okay, go down first."

When Madam Shen went to bed, Lord Shen woke up. He asked Madam Shen what she was doing. Shen Jingzhan had already started a family and a career, but he still asked the servants to stare at her and ask about her room. This was not good after all.

"Now that Tinglan has a child, I think Madam should stop making such a fuss." Otherwise, it would cause unrest in the family and create discord.

Lord Shen didn't say the latter sentence in the end, fearing that Madam Shen would be unhappy after hearing it.

Madam Shen’s brows did not relax as she said to Lord Shen, “Zhu Yinluan’s body is weak, and she will be able to vomit like that after the first three months. I’m afraid something bad is going to happen.”

"My Lord, you should have gone and persuaded Ting Lan to stop making trouble, why did you blame me instead?"

Lord Shen smiled and pulled the quilt for Madam Shen, "I'm not talking about Madam, I'm just worried that you'll be worried like this and won't be able to sleep well at night."

"Alas..." Madam Shen lamented, and couldn't help complaining to Lord Shen that she couldn't get a good night's sleep as long as Zhu Yinluan's child was not born.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Lord Shen comforted her.

"That's what I said. The other sons and daughters are all well-fed, but what about Tinglan? He is the eldest son in the family, and there is only one Zhu in the inner house now. How can I feel at ease?"

Shen Jingzhan is an outstanding person, so naturally the more offspring he has, the better. This way, the eldest branch of the family can prosper.

When mentioning this matter, Lord Shen reminded obliquely, "I think the marriage of the Meng family is a little shaky..."

“Why is it so dangerous?” Mrs. Shen frowned and couldn’t help but get up.

Lord Shen paused for a moment, first affirming Madam Shen's selective gaze, and then said, "I see that Ting Lan doesn't like the girl from the Meng family very much."

Lord Shen heard about what happened during dinner as soon as he came back.

"He doesn't like her now, but as long as Zhu persuades him to bring her in, he will like her after a long time, day and night, right?"

What's more, what she wants is offspring. Isn't the love between men and women for the purpose of continuing the family line?

Lord Shen knew that Madam Shen had hit a wall with Old Lady Shen and Shen Jingzhan these days, and was in a bad mood, so he didn't throw cold water on her, but simply went along with her, "…Madam, what you said makes sense."

Mrs. Shen barely calmed down. After lying down for a while, she stood up again and said, "No, I still need to give Zhu a lesson tomorrow and ask her to take care of herself."

Although Lord Shen didn't want Madam Shen to get involved in the affairs over there, he couldn't stop her directly. He also knew that Madam Shen was sensible in doing things, so he simply stopped persuading her.

"It's late at night, Madam, please go to bed."

When Zhu Yinluan woke up, which was rare, Shen Jingzhan was still at home.

She stared at him in a daze until the man pinched the tip of her nose. Only then did she come back to her senses and her memories of yesterday flooded back into her mind.

Her body was still aching, and Zhu Yinluan didn't plan to say another word to him. She avoided Shen Jingzhan's touch, fearing that her legs would become weak and she could not stand, so she slowly climbed up.

But the man curled his lips and looked at her for a while, then lifted the quilt and held her under his arms and carried her down.

Zhu Yinluan was shocked and had to speak to him, "Put me down!"

Her voice was filled with shame and her face was red.

The maids who heard the noise outside, seeing the situation in the inner room, hurriedly lowered their heads.

Zhu Yinluan really couldn't stand Shen Jingzhan anymore. She looked down at him and pressed his shoulders, "Put me down. I want to walk by myself."

Now she was really angry with him and she didn't even call him husband.

Shen Jingzhan carried her to the dressing table before putting her down.

The maids nearby were very considerate and quickly stepped forward to help Zhu Yinluan wash and dress.

Through the bronze mirror in front of her, Zhu Yinluan saw the man's leisurely expression.

He stood behind her and also looked at her through the bronze mirror.

The slap marks on his face had almost disappeared and were not very clear at the moment.

Zhu Yinluan held her breath, didn't say a word to him, and just looked away.

After a while, she could still feel Shen Jingzhan's eyes on her.

He stared for a moment before leaving.

Shen Jingzhan went to the bathroom, and Zhu Yinluan stared at the corner of his clothes with her eyes downcast.

The old lady outside came to pass on a message, asking the two of them to go to Mrs. Shen's courtyard for breakfast.

"Tell my mother-in-law that my husband and I will be here soon."

Most likely it's still the Meng family's business. When he confronted Shen Jingzhan yesterday, Miss Meng's matter was brought up, but it was still him who brought it up, and there has been no result so far.

Thinking of what he said yesterday, Zhu Yinluan's heart couldn't help but move and her mind wandered.

On the way there, Shen Jingzhan talked to Zhu Yinluan, and she only responded perfunctorily. This was also due to the fact that the old mother sent by Madam Shen was always by her side, otherwise she would definitely not say a word.

When we got to Madam Shen's courtyard, her attitude was much better.

Lord Shen was also busy and had not been home for a long time. He first asked about Zhu Yinluan's health, and then told her to take good care of herself. As he was talking, he mentioned Shen Jingzhan.

Lord Shen said, "Ting Lan has been busy with government affairs these days and has neglected you. If he doesn't listen to your apology and flattery seriously, I, as your father-in-law, will naturally not forgive him."

The words sounded normal, but Zhu Yinluan always felt that Lord Shen was being meaningful and meant something.

She smiled and replied, "Thank you, father-in-law. My husband is thoughtful and considerate and treats me very well."

"Your mother-in-law is right. You have a tolerant temper."

Over there, Madam Shen had already watched the servants prepare the food, and asked the people who were talking in the front hall to come over quickly.

After sitting down and taking a few bites, Zhu Yinluan received a look from Mrs. Shen, who was hinting at Zhu Yinluan about the Meng family's affairs.

But this matter...

How could she tell Madam Shen that Shen Jingzhan was not willing at all?

Yesterday, she was unhappy and was even "taught a lesson" by him...

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of what the man said to her between the bed rails.

He asked her if she really wanted to push him to someone else? Did she want him to do such intimate things with other women?

At that moment, her thoughts couldn't help but drift along with his words, and she felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't express it, and she didn't want Shen Jingzhan to see it, so she was very forbearing at that time.

Mrs. Shen didn't see her talking, so she asked her to eat more while picking up chicken nuggets for her, and then gave her a look.

Zhu Yinluan met Madam Shen's eyes and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

Looking at the crispy chicken nuggets in the bowl, she was thinking about her words.

But before she could figure it out, Shen Jingzhan had already spoken, "What do you want to say to Luan'er in secret? I saw you winked at her many times today."

Madam Shen, "..."

Shen Jingzhan seemed not to notice Mrs. Shen's embarrassment, and continued, "What does mother want to say to Luan'er? What is it that neither the son nor the father can listen to?"

Mrs. Shen could only smile awkwardly, "…what else could it be? Of course, you told your wife to eat more. Didn't you see that she had lost a lot of weight when you came back yesterday?"

"She has indeed lost weight. My son has not been very busy these days and has often accompanied Luan'er for meals."

"Besides that, my son has something else to tell my mother and father."

"What's up?"

Madam Shen was wondering if Zhu Yinluan had not mentioned anything about the Meng family to Shen Jingzhan last night?

She was afraid that after Meng Yun came in, he would take away her exclusive favor, so she agreed with him on the surface but tripped him up behind his back?

She's already pregnant and wants to consummate her marriage with Shen Jingzhan. Isn't this a joke? What if something happens...

What's more, the old mother also said that she heard the two people arguing outside yesterday, and most of the time it was Zhu Yinluan who was talking.

So it was Zhu Yinluan and Shen Jingzhan who were arguing?

She doesn’t want Meng Yun to marry her?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it was. Therefore, Madam Shen had some complaints about Zhu Yinluan, but at this moment, due to the presence of Shen Jingzhan and Lord Shen, she didn't say anything.

He was planning to wait until after the meal to ask Zhu Yinluan in private what was going on, when he heard Shen Jingzhan say that his house outside had been renovated and he was going to take Zhu Yinluan to move there.

Lord Shen frowned, and Madam Shen was shocked, "What did you say? Move out?"

Zhu Yinluan also looked at Shen Jingzhan.

He was actually going to move out with her? But he didn't even mention this to her last night.

Madam Shen first looked at Shen Jingzhan in shock, and then she looked at Zhu Yinluan.

Originally, she thought it was Zhu Yinluan's instigation, but she didn't expect that Zhu Yinluan also looked confused. Mrs. Shen knew that she was not clear about this matter either.

So it was all Shen Jingzhan’s idea.

It was Lord Shen who asked first, "Why are you moving out for no reason?"

"There are so many people coming and going in our house, which is not conducive to Luan'er's pregnancy. Besides, my son's house is closer to the palace, and it is more convenient to go in and out of the palace. I want to spend more time with Luan'er. Didn't father ask me to take good care of her?"

These words directly blocked Lord Shen's way back.

Madam Shen said anxiously, "She is pregnant now, how can she move out?"

Shen Jingzhan had this idea a long time ago, and Mrs. Shen secretly felt that she had neglected it all these days. She quickly listed many disadvantages of moving out to Shen Jingzhan and insisted on keeping Zhu Yinluan at home.

"Besides...your grandmother likes your daughter-in-law the most. She always liked to call her over to talk. If she leaves, what will happen to your grandmother who is worried about her?"

Before Shen Jingzhan could speak, Madam Shen continued, “The imperial physician said that your grandmother’s illness has not been cured for a long time, and she doesn’t know what to do. She always has to ask someone to accompany her. Now that she sees your wife and children, she is in a better mood and her illness can be cured.”

"Yinluan, don't you agree? Is what mother-in-law said right?"

When Mrs. Shen saw that Shen Jingzhan was not very moved by the mention of Old Lady Shen, she quickly called for help and asked Zhu Yinluan to help speak.

"Mother, please don't embarrass Luan'er anymore. She is not aware of this matter and cannot make the decision. Your son has thought it over carefully and has already told his subordinates to pack their luggage before coming here."

Softness didn’t work, so Madam Shen took a hard approach. She put down her bowl and chopsticks heavily, “No!”

"Your parents are all at home, how can you live in another house? And you act first and report later! This is really... really treasonous." Madam Shen scolded him.

Shen Jingzhan's expression did not change. He did not look at Madam Shen. Instead, he picked up some food for Zhu Yinluan and told her not to worry about it and to continue eating.

Zhu Yinluan, "..." After such a commotion, Madam Shen and Lord Shen both put down their chopsticks.

As a daughter-in-law, how could she hold the bowl and continue eating as if no one was around?

Zhu Yinluan pursed her lips and did not move. Madam Shen was still confronting Shen Jingzhan. Lord Shen came out to smooth things over. He said to Zhu Yinluan in a gentle voice, "You still have a baby in your belly. Don't worry about these. Just eat."

After saying that, he picked up some food for Mrs. Shen and said, "We're all having a meal together as a family, why are you shouting so loudly? Don't scare the child." The child he was talking about was naturally the one in Zhu Yinluan's belly.

Mrs. Shen was concerned about her stomach, and indeed her expression eased, “Okay, continue eating.”

Zhu Yinluan just picked up her chopsticks and ate slowly.

Lord Shen said to Shen Jingzhan again, "Your mother is right about this matter. Your wife is pregnant, and moving around is exhausting. It won't sound good to the outside world, so just stop it."

Shen Jingzhan smiled, "Mother and father are now worried that Luan'er is still pregnant?"

"Why didn't her mother think about her pregnancy when she took her to the Meng family and pressured her to persuade her son to marry the Meng family girl?"

Madam Shen, "..." She knew that there must be a reason why Shen Jingzhan mentioned moving at breakfast today.

Having said that, for a moment, Mrs. Shen really didn't know what to say in response.

Finally, Lord Shen said, "Since you don't like it, then don't accept it—"

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Shen glared at him and stopped talking abruptly.

Shen Jingzhan seemed not to notice what was happening between the two and continued to pick up some food for Zhu Yinluan.

After a while, Madam Shen asked, "If I agree to let you move out, will you give in and take the daughter of the Meng family into your family?"

Zhu Yinluan's meal speed became slower and slower. Mrs. Shen's words seemed to be taking advantage of the situation, but they were also very correct.

Shen Jingzhan still smiled, his tone casual, "It seems that mother has forgotten what her son said before."

Mrs. Shen couldn’t remember for a moment and asked him what he was talking about.

"Before my son proposed to Luan'er, he had already requested a decree from the emperor. If he took concubines after marrying her, my son would be dismissed from office and stripped of his title."
