Chapter 494: Deja Vu
The voice sounded very gentle at first, but there was a hint of sharpness between the lines, which made people afraid to get close.
Shen Wan rubbed her forehead which was hurt from being hit and slowly raised her head.
Under the scorching sun, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman was looking at him with a smile.
He is tall and strong, with an extremely majestic face.
Although he was smiling, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could see through everything in the world.
Obviously, this is definitely not an ordinary businessman.
But this person looked very familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.
But after searching through all the memories of the original owner, Shen Wan was unable to find this person from those fragmented pieces.
Seeing that she was silent, the middle-aged man asked gently, "Little girl, are you hurt?"
"There's a pharmacy not far ahead. How about we go over there and take a look?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan came back to her senses.
"It's okay." She quickly shook her head and smiled calmly, "Uncle's accent doesn't sound like a local. I wonder where it's from?"
I have to say that Lanyang City has become more and more lively recently.
The Duke of Zhenguo, the Marquis of Xiangyang, the Helian siblings, and now a mysterious businessman has arrived!
It seems that Lanyang City will no longer be peaceful.
"I'm a passing merchant, I don't have a fixed place to stay, and I call the world my home." The middle-aged man's pupils shrank slightly, and he smiled calmly, "If you're alright, I'll go ahead."
"Of course, if you feel unwell, come find me at the inn ahead."
"Since I bumped into you, I will naturally take responsibility."
Whoever uses him is responsible!
If the villain hears this, who knows how jealous he will be.
"I'm fine, uncle, you can go and do your own thing." Shen Wan smiled sweetly.
He had already taken a step forward, but when he saw the sweet smile, the middle-aged man suddenly became dazed.
He looked at Shen Wan quietly for a while, and suddenly asked: "Have we met somewhere?"
Have you really seen it?
After hearing this, Shen Wan felt a little confused.
It seems that this middle-aged man and the original owner really know each other.
But there is no way, since I did not inherit all the memories of the original owner, now I can only pretend to be stupid here.
Before she could answer, the man suddenly shook his head: "No, it's impossible!"
"I haven't been here for more than ten years, how could I possibly recognize you?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s better not to recognize it!
Although she had fooled the Marquis of Xiangyang, she was still worried that someone who was very familiar with the original owner would suddenly appear one day.
If his identity is exposed, there will be a lot of trouble.
The middle-aged man shook his head and left sadly.
Looking at the backs of the master and servant gradually walking away, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel confused.
Strange, who is this man?
I have never seen it before, but why does it give me a very familiar feeling?
While she was daydreaming, Shen Wan had already arrived at the courtyard where the Helian siblings lived.
This courtyard is not big, but it is very clean.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw two servants sweeping the yard.
They were about to say hello but were stopped by Shen Wan.
It's not that she is arrogant, but that these servants always say the same thing.
It's always "Girl, are you here?"
"Please wait a moment, young lady. I will go and report to the young lady."
"Miss, please come in."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, the servants didn't say anything either.
It has been almost half a year, and this little woman has come here every few days. She is very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here.
Even without them leading the way, she could grope her way to Helian Bijun's room with her eyes closed.
Shen Wanxin had changed into a pair of soft-soled shoes made by Li, and she walked very lightly, so if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear her footsteps at all.
Familiar with the route, she arrived at Helian Bijun's room in just a few steps.
Perhaps because the weather was too hot, the half-worn wooden door was slightly ajar.
Through the crack in the door, Shen Wan clearly saw Helian Bijun sitting at the table with a bowl of freshly boiled medicine in front of her.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he saw Helian Bijun pick up the bowl of medicine and pour it all into the flowerpot next to him.
Shen Wan looked at it and her heart tightened.
No wonder this woman's illness keeps recurring despite taking so many medicines.
It turned out that she had poured out all the medicine!
Although the medical expenses have not been reduced by a penny, the problem is that this matter concerns my reputation!
"Why are you doing this?" In anger, Shen Wan pushed the door open violently.
Helian Bijun's expression suddenly changed when he heard the voice.
"Why are you here?" She said coldly with a gloomy face, "Aren't you supposed to come tomorrow morning?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but sneered: “If I hadn’t come earlier, how could I have seen such a good show?”
"No wonder the flower in your house is dying. It turns out it was nourished by your medicine!"
Since everything had been seen, Helian Bijun didn't want to argue anymore.
She thought about it and said calmly, "Just pretend you didn't see this."
"Don't worry, you won't get a penny of the money you're supposed to get."
"And I swear to you that my sister and I won't cause you any trouble."
Shen Wan couldn’t help but smile coldly when she heard this.
"Do you think I will believe you?" She calmly took out a silver needle from the space and said in a cold and terrifying voice, "If you don't tell me the reason, I will tell my father-in-law right away."
"No!" Upon hearing this, Helian Bijun stood up from the chair.
She has been taking the medicine on and off for the past six months.
Although not cured, the symptoms are much less severe than before.
Shen Wan glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and sneered, "Do you think you can stop me?"
Although this small courtyard is Helian Bijun's territory, she also has seven or eight servants.
But even so, Shen Wan didn't take them seriously.
As soon as the silver needle comes out of his hand, these servants will immediately become weaklings.
Looking at her cold gaze, Helian Bijun took a deep breath and then confessed truthfully: "I don't want to leave."
Yes, she doesn't want to leave.
Since she fell ill, Xie Lian would come to see her every now and then.
Although she only sat there for a short while each time, Helian Bijun enjoyed it.
Although she never said it explicitly, she clearly felt that Xie Lian's attitude was really different from before.
When the weather is cold, he would remind her to put on more clothes.
When the weather was hot, he would secretly send her some iced sour plum soup.
She doesn't want to leave.
Their relationship had just made some progress, and she absolutely couldn't leave at this time.
Looking at Helian Bijun's stubborn look, Shen Wan looked as if she was disappointed with him: "For a man, is it worth it?"
"Besides, you should also be aware that there is an unwritten rule in the Great Wei that the people of the Great Wei cannot intermarry with foreign nations. Do you really want to be his concubine?"
"Okay, if you really want to be my concubine, I won't stop you."
"But you have to think carefully. If people knew that the eldest daughter of the Helian family was a concubine, where would your family's reputation be put down?"
Shen Wan didn't like Helian Bijun, but she was still quite moved by her sincerity. She didn't want this woman to continue making mistakes.
Is it really worth losing yourself for a man?
