Chapter 88 Chapter 88 "I want to be inseparable from Luan'er."...

Because Chen Jingzhan was holding her hand, Zhu Yinluan was forced to touch the lock ring he took out. She pulled her hand back, but was still unable to overcome Chen Jingzhan's strength.

Fingers as white and tender as scallions could only touch the terrifying cold torture instruments.

He also spoke in her ear, telling her that this object could lock him up, torture him, and teach him a lesson.

Zhu Yinluan felt more and more unbearable listening to him.

Not to mention that she was forced to see what was in her hand at this moment. She felt like it was a hot potato and wanted to throw it away right away.

Not only did the hair on her body stand on end, she also felt dangerous.

I don't know if it's because I've been with Chen Jingzhan for too long, but there's a saying that goes, "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black."

Shen Jingzhan did not explain in detail how to use this object, and how to teach him a lesson and torture him, but she was able to figure it out on her own.

Zhu Yinluan's face was extremely rosy, and her ears seemed to be steamed through.

She struggled, "Stop talking nonsense and making trouble."

If she told others that the most aloof young master in the capital was actually playing these brothel tricks in private, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

"Luan'er——" The man kept calling her name in a deep voice.

Zhu Yinluan only felt her ears were numb and itchy, and she kept twisting her body. Fortunately, she was pregnant now, and Shen Jingzhan was still very considerate of her in some aspects.

So, Zhu Yinluan took advantage of his inattention and pushed him away slightly.

She took advantage of the opportunity and jumped off Shen Jingzhan's body.

But she didn't expect that Shen Jingzhan had a backup plan.

Her hands were held by Shen Jingzhan using the lock ring he had just obtained.

To be precise, it should be a chain.

No, coming to her senses, she felt that she should have thought of it a long time ago, because Shen Jingzhan deliberately wanted to hold her, and she couldn't break free from his arms even after careful observation just now, so why did she jump down now?

It turned out that the purpose was to divert her attention and clip this thing on her wrist.

Right now, she and Shen Jingzhan were locked together.

The distance between the chain rings of this lock is not long, and it cannot be pulled apart in one step.

If it is not untied, it means that she will be with Shen Jingzhan anytime and anywhere.

Zhu Yinluan hated him for being like an old fox and calculating everything. She scolded him, "Hurry up and untie it!"

"I want to be with Luan'er, so I have to take an unconventional approach."

She didn't want to listen to his dirty talk, and since he wouldn't untie her, she could only figure out a solution herself.

Zhu Yinluan raised her wrist and found that the lock on the wrist was made extremely delicately, and there was not even a keyhole.

Maybe there is, but it's on Shen Jingzhan's side.

She looked over, felt her gaze, and knew what she was thinking. Shen Jingzhan moved his wrist in front of her for her to see.

Zhu Yinluan glared at him angrily, then lowered her head and searched his wrist, trying to see if she could find any way to open it.

The man looked down at her as she carefully searched for the lock and opened the ring. Her hand was stroking his wrist bone, and just the simple touch made him feel happy.

It had been a long time since she had focused her gaze on him like this. Before she got angry, she was too timid to look at him.

When she gets angry, she dodges even more deliberately. If she is tougher and moves her gaze to him, she will still be angry.

Shen Jingzhan curled his lips and felt her touch, her concentration. Even if she touched him because she was looking for something else and not because she wanted to touch him, it made him feel extremely happy and delighted.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, even the locking hole was nowhere to be found.

"You...what exactly do you want to do?" Zhu Yinluan looked up at the man's smiling face and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

"I want to be inseparable from Luan'er."

Zhu Yinluan was speechless, and after a long while she scolded him again, "...madman."

He started going crazy again while he was talking.

"I haven't been with Luan'er for a long time. There's no one else here, and I want to talk to you."

He went on to say, "Although my home is quiet, I still have my father, mother, and grandmother, and from time to time relatives come to visit, which I don't like."

Zhu Yinluan, "......"

If the hard way doesn't work, then the only way is to use the soft way. Zhu Yinluan held back her breath and said, "Aren't we together now?"

"Why do you need to lock it together with this?"

Shen Jingzhan chuckled, and he stood up, his tall and majestic figure. When he approached, Zhu Yinluan felt the invisible pressure and wanted to step back, and she did step back.

The lock and chain buckled around my wrist even hit the edge of the table, making a crisp clanging sound.

In the quiet day, it was like the sound of silver bells colliding and falling to the ground. It was very pleasant to hear and woke her up from her slightly panicked state.

"Luan'er is afraid of me?"

He stopped when they were close to her, and reached out to help her straighten her pearl hairpin which had been messed up when she struggled to jump out of his arms.

"Are you really scared? No expectations?" He leaned closer to her.

The tips of their noses touched, and Zhu Yinluan saw her figure clearly reflected in the man's deep eyes.

But wasn't it the same in her pupils? There was also a reflection of the man.

As the distance got closer and closer, Shen Jingzhan smelled the faint fragrance on her body. He used his deep eyes and delicate and handsome eyebrows to attract her and seduce her at such a close distance.

Her highly nervous thoughts focused on him, and she gradually forgot why they had argued.

Then he moved closer and closer invisibly. If anyone opened his mouth to speak at this moment, he would definitely kiss the other's lips and cheeks.

Because Zhu Yinluan had already felt Shen Jingzhan's breath, all of it hitting her face.

The man's eyelashes drooped, a sign that he was about to kiss her. Zhu Yinluan subconsciously became nervous, and her fingers clenched under her wide sleeves.

She should have pushed Shen Jingzhan away, but for some reason she felt like she had no strength left in her body and she did not move.

His presence was so strong that it enveloped her and covered her, making it impossible for her to escape and making her forget how to move.

Her thoughts were attracted by him, and the questions the man asked her appeared in Zhu Yinluan's mind.

Are you just afraid of him? Don't you have any expectations?

Didn't she expect him to get close to her, didn't she expect him to kiss her?

I can't say it in front of Shen Jingzhan, but Zhu Yinluan knows it very well in her heart...

She was indeed not afraid of Shen Jingzhan locking her wrists, getting close to her, pressing her, and enveloping her...

She didn't really seem to be afraid, and was more looking forward to it.

She was looking forward to Shen Jingzhan kissing her, looking forward to his thin lips touching hers.

It's not just because Shen Jingzhan is very good in bed, but also because of his outstanding appearance, power and influence, he is the best in the entire capital.

She was a layman, she had entered the secular world, how could she be free from it and remain indifferent to such a flower that stood out in every way and was plucked from the top of a mountain and was the one that all the noble ladies in the capital wanted to get close to?

He disdained to care about anyone, and didn't take anyone seriously, but bowed down to her skirt, showed favoritism to her, stood up for her against all odds, welcomed her into the family with a grand wedding dress, and backed her up with her tyrannical family background...

When interacting with the noble ladies in the capital, she felt honored to hear their envious words and actions.

Even though her heart was as dry as a tree, she had already been moved.

When she had not yet recovered from the pain of the Wei family, Shen Jingzhan, with his superior "offensive" on the bed, penetrated her softness and entered her heart.

She couldn't remember exactly when it started, from liking to sleep with him and kiss him to liking him as a whole.

So these days she was not only avoiding Chen Jingzhan, she was also avoiding herself. Zhu Yinluan felt that she was hypocritical.

What qualifications does she have to say that Shen Jingzhan is hypocritical?

He was indeed a hypocrite, a scoundrel who schemed to get her. But if she could stick to her heart and insist on being herself, not be shaken, and not have any expectations of him, how could she be so angry and make a fuss?

More than that, it's probably disgust towards herself.

She is also hypocritical.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yinluan's eyes flickered.

The man paused again at this time and asked her softly, "Can I kiss you, Luan'er?"

His voice was very low, almost a whisper, and it went through her ears and into the tip of her heart, causing ripples in her heart.

Zhu Yinluan didn't know what to say. She didn't say anything, but raised her finger between the two of them. Shen Jingzhan lowered his eyes to look at her. Her hand stopped between the two of them, but she didn't push him away. Instead, she gradually curled up.

He observed her movements, the curve of his lips deepening.

He already knew her answer.

Then, the man raised his big hand and grasped the back of her head, forcing Zhu Yinluan to lean back.

As he moved, the chain of the lock ring made a sound in his ears, and Zhu Yinluan seemed to wake up in an instant.

Wait....how could she!

By the time she reacted, Shen Jingzhan had already kissed her forcefully, and because it was too forceful, Zhu Yinluan leaned back.

Because the chain between the two of them was too short, Zhu Yinluan's other hand was forced to be raised and tied behind her head.

Shen Jingzhan's kiss was really too heavy. Even though his big hand was controlling the back of her head and his other hand was carefully protecting her waist, she was still being kissed and bitten by him.

With his hands on the edge of the table, the precious bone jade porcelain on the table was shaking as the round table was moved.

Although Shen Jingzhan's kiss was gentle, his posture was also very strong, almost showing his possessiveness.

Zhu Yinluan felt difficulty breathing. All the methods of breathing she had learned in the past were useless at this moment because the way Shen Jingzhan kissed her had also changed.

He kissed her in, brought her out, then sucked on her lips, kissing her over and over again, not stopping for long enough for her to catch her breath.

Zhu Yinluan was quickly defeated in this kiss. Just before she began to struggle, the man gave her a gap so that she could breathe, but before she could breathe for long, he continued to kiss her.

The man swept his lips across the person in his arms forcefully and domineeringly, as if he wanted to absorb all the fragrance and sweetness that had softened her.

Integrate her into his bones and blood, never to be separated again.

But when she realized that he was about to panic, he put her down, giving her some room to relax.

In this way, the two kissed intermittently for a long time.

When Zhu Yinluan completely softened into a puddle of water and slipped in his arms, with her entire face flushed, Shen Jingzhan finally stopped.

As expected, just like before, her entire lips were swollen from being kissed by Shen Jingzhan, and they were swollen high.

There was still moisture on her lips. The man's eyes were deep and scary. He reached out and wiped the moisture off her lips.

When he got closer, he gently kissed her nose and cheek again, and Zhu Yinluan trembled all over.

It was just a kiss, but she felt that the smell of Shen Jingzhan was all over her body.

The aura he left behind was so palpable, completely enveloping her.

Thinking of this, she thought about when Shen Jingzhan kissed her just now, did she bite him before? It seems that it is not healed yet.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Shen Jingzhan held her and took her to the dressing table to fix her hair.

Through the bronze mirror, Zhu Yinluan could see how gentle the man's movements were and how focused his eyes were, all of which were focused on her.

He treated her so carefully that he was afraid of breaking her.

This seemed to be what she had wanted before...a preference.

Unexpectedly, she would get it after leaving the Wei family. She originally thought that she would never have it in her life.

But when Zhu Yinluan moved her gaze to the left and saw the lock and ring connecting the two of them, she couldn't help but sigh that no matter what happens, too much is always as bad as too little.

"......"

Mrs. Shen didn't expect that Shen Jingzhan was not joking and just moved out with Zhu Yinluan and didn't come back all night.

It was clear that most of the maids serving in the courtyard were still there, and the followers were also staying in the outer courtyard.

That night, Lord Shen came back, and Madam Shen couldn't sleep at all, so she told him about this matter and asked him what she should do?

Lord Shen was washing his hands, and when he saw Madam Shen's flustered look, he asked, "Why haven't you come back today?"

"Yes." Madam Shen sighed, "How can I rest assured that Zhu is pregnant with a child?"

"Ting Lan is really reckless!" She wanted to scold him, but now she was afraid that it would reach Shen Jingzhan's ears, so Mrs. Shen could only swallow back her grievances.

It’s hard to talk about the son, so I’ll just talk about the father.

After all, it's too uncomfortable to hold it in.

Lord Shen was ridiculed for a long time when he was washing and dressing, and finally got some peace when he was bathing. But when he came out, Madam Shen's face was full of resentment.

He smiled and sat next to Madam Shen, trying to coax her to calm down, but was spit at by Madam Shen several times.

Lord Shen patiently asked her if the Meng family's affairs had been dealt with?

Madam Shen was annoyed, "I would like to deal with it, but... people have been coming to the Shen family for a while, and they have agreed to go and offend them. How can I do it?"

After all the talk, I just haven't figured it out.

Lord Shen looked at her embarrassed expression and suggested, "I will take half a day off tomorrow and go with Madam. This matter is something that our Shen family did not do right after all, so we should show off."

"Really?" Mrs. Shen was delighted.

If Lord Shen were to accompany them, they would be more confident. Even if the Meng family had complaints in their hearts, they would not dare to show it too obviously, so as to avoid making enemies in the future. After all, they had given him face.

"Well." Lord Shen continued, "Bring some valuable gifts to compensate them. Other than that...say that the lady likes the girl from the Meng family and wants to adopt her as her adopted daughter. This can be considered as compensation, and it won't damage the girl's reputation. The key is to stop the gossips from outside."

The main reason was that Madam Shen had been bringing Zhu Yinluan to the Meng family some time ago. The aristocratic family had already noticed Madam Shen's intentions and guessed that she wanted to promote Meng Yun and marry her.

Now that the relationship is broken, there will definitely be a lot of gossip outside. It will certainly be difficult for the daughter of the Yu Meng family to find a husband, and even if she does find one, she may be gossiped about.

Rumors are scary. If the two families have a disagreement, they will be embarrassed to face each other in the officialdom.

"My husband is really thoughtful." Mrs. Shen had thought of this before, but Meng Yun... was too much of an honor to recognize her as his adopted daughter.

Compared with the Shen family, the Meng family is far inferior to the Shen family in terms of official reputation and prestige.

Lord Shen saw that she was not happy, and coaxed her, "Madam has already made up her mind, I am just going with the flow, it doesn't matter."

After a few words, Mrs. Shen felt relieved.

But the matter between Shen Jingzhan and Zhu Yinluan was not over yet, and Mrs. Shen could not completely let go of her worries. She began to look bitter again.

"What should we do with Ting Lan?"

She had never been able to make decisions about her son and was somewhat afraid of him.

"After the Meng family's affairs are resolved, can the two of them come back?"

Lord Shen asked, "Madam, why do you think Ting Lan wants to move out with his wife?"

"Isn't it because of the Meng family's matter? But I always feel that it's not just that..."

Mrs. Shen couldn't tell what it was like.

“Madam, please don’t be unhappy about what I said.” Lord Shen negotiated.

Madam Shen rolled her eyes at him and told him to speak quickly and not to keep him in suspense.

"Tinglan moved out mainly because there were some conflicts between him and his wife, and secondly..."

A few days ago, Chen Kouyu went to see Lord Shen and told him that Zhu Yinluan accidentally said something on the day she returned home. She didn't know what she did wrong, but it seemed that she was in trouble.

Chen Kouyu was afraid of Chen Jingzhan and knew that he, as a father, was the only one in the family who could suppress him, so he came to tell him.

Lord Shen, as a father, was involved in official circles, so he naturally knew some unknown tricks.

For example, the relationship between Shen Jingzhan and the retired Minister of Rites Ma Qichang.

Mrs. Shen had clearly sent one wedding invitation to the Ma family, so why did Shen Jingzhan send another one?

He never cared about these things in the past. Even if he was happy to marry the daughter of Zhu family and wanted to send the wedding invitations personally, he wouldn't just send them to the Ma family, right?

Therefore, there was something fishy going on. When Lord Shen learned about this, he called attention to it.

In addition, there is the Lord of the Luo family. He once went to Zhongshu to find Shen Jingzhan. The people under Lord Shen encountered him, but they couldn’t figure out what happened. Now that something happened, Lord Shen just reacted and realized what was going on.

Including the old prince Kang who wanted to remarry the daughter of the Zhu family, the people under Shen Jingzhan also had intersections with him, and finally... the Wei family.

The Wei family’s affairs can be traced back to many years ago.

At that time, the old man of the Wei family, Wei Ji, was exiled because he did not handle a matter well. The children of the Wei family were implicated and frequently suppressed.

The next year, Shen Jingzhan proposed, through General Yao, that the descendants of demoted officials be allowed to be employed again.

But he offended a lot of people at that time, and even many colleagues came to Lord Shen and asked what Shen Jingzhan was thinking?

Lord Shen was perfunctory on the surface, and it was difficult for him to tell his colleagues behind their backs. As a father, he didn't know what he was thinking.

I also asked about it, and Shen Jingzhan only said that collective guilt should not be prevalent, after all, everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions.

It would be fine if it was just to please others, but Lord Shen naturally didn't believe it.

Even if he didn't believe it, he had no idea about this matter back then.

Now I have figured it out.

It was to prepare for the promotion of Zhu Yinluan's then husband Wei Ruzhuo.

Later, his subordinates picked a prostitute and sent her to the old man of the Wei family...

Many years later, the woman stayed with the old man of the Wei family, fell in love with him, and gave birth to children. Now the old man of the Wei family brought the woman back to the capital, and angered the mistress of the Wei family to death.

After the person died, the old man of the Wei family quickly made the woman his wife, and people in the capital were talking about it.

Not only that, why was Wei Ji, the old man of the Wei family, able to return to the capital?

It was the Minister of Rites Ma Qichang who proposed to plead for mercy to the emperor. The emperor originally did not allow it, but Shen Jingzhan helped to say a word, and the man came back.

This matter was not done directly, and people in the previous dynasty were not very clear about it.

Lord Shen asked someone to investigate the matter. Ma Qichang had interceded for the old man of the Wei family at that time, hoping to use the fact that the old man of the Wei family returned to Beijing to let the old man of the Wei family "kill his relatives for the sake of justice".

Could the Minister of Rites think of so much?

Lord Shen fell into deep thought for a while. Madam Shen waited for his next words and asked him not to say only half of his words. "What's the second?"

Lord Shen looked around and told everyone in the inner room to leave. Then he told Madam Shen in detail everything he had discovered and verified over the years.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Shen was stunned and stared blankly for a long time, "What?!"

"How is this possible?" Mrs. Shen couldn't believe it.

Lord Shen sighed, "That's the truth."

"This marriage with the Wei family was obtained by Ting Lan through trickery and force."

It's more than just plundering, it's too nice to say, there is absolutely no moral bottom line, and it was taken away by the Zhu and Wei families.

A superior person tries to seize the wife of his subordinate. It's simply... who would dare to tell anyone about it?

The main reason was that Shen Jingzhan's image of being handsome and unique in front of others was so good that no one would associate it with her, and it turned out that he was the one who did this.

Madam Shen also knew that Lord Shen's information could not be wrong, and she was stunned for a while.

Lord Shen saw that she looked strange and asked her to slow down, “This matter is indeed absurd, but it is true.”

"I told you so much because I wanted to tell you that Zhu holds a very important position in Tinglan's heart. You should be nicer to her and try to comfort her as much as possible. Don't let her feel wronged."

If Lord Shen hadn't said this, Madam Shen would definitely ask how else to coax him?

But since Lord Shen said so much, even if he didn't say this, Madam Shen would know it.

Zhu Yinluan is not ordinary to Shen Jingzhan.

Previously, Madam Shen thought that even if he liked her, there was always a limit. Who knows, and who he followed...

Thinking of this, Madam Shen couldn't help but cast a glance at Lord Shen.

Lord Shen was amused by her look and thought that this was the son they conceived together.

But Madam Shen finally calmed down a little, and Lord Shen could only nod and take the blame, "It's all my fault. I didn't teach my son well, and I raised this bastard and rebellious son!"

Madam Shen snorted.

Having said that, Lord Shen simply told Madam Shen about how Wei Ruzhuo was "childless" and "inhumane", and why Zhu Yinluan got pregnant so quickly, saying that he learned about it from the imperial physician.

Mrs. Shen originally thought that what she had just learned was absurd and outrageous enough, but she did not expect that the inhumane things done by the Wei family were also related to Shen Jingzhan, and that Zhu Yinluan's health was also calculated by him.

Perhaps it was because Shen Jingzhan had a criminal record, and this time, Mrs. Shen was shocked but did not doubt it much.

She immediately patted the quilt and jumped up!

"He's good, no wonder his wife wants to beat him. Even I, as a mother, want to beat him after hearing this!"
