"You! Get out! Your master's gone mad, and you're going mad too? Don't you have any idea how badly he's injured?"
Seeing that both of them were looking at her without saying a word, Cen Xi directly confronted Se.
"I... what right do you have to yell at me? Young Master is so badly injured, and you disappeared all day yesterday. You come here this morning, have you taken over someone else's place? My young master is so precious and noble, it's your good fortune that he has taken a liking to you, but you are really ungrateful!"
Last time, when he yelled at me, I was stunned at first, and then I was filled with rage. Without thinking, I yelled out all my innermost thoughts.
"Shen Jinchen, you either make him disappear immediately, or I disappear. Even if you saved me, even if I was even slightly tempted, I can take it all back. If even your dog looks down on me like this, how can we not have a future?"
Cen Xi put the food she had brought on the table and turned to leave.
“Come back. Shangse, you don’t need to serve me anymore. She will be your mistress from now on. Since you dislike her so much, then go to Yingzhou.”
As soon as Cen Xi finished speaking, Shen Jinchen propped himself up, glanced at Shang Se with a sidelong look, and roared angrily.
"Young master! She's heartless, why bother with her?"
Seeing that the young master had exiled him like this, Shangse asked you sadly.
"No need to say anything more, Shangse. You subordinates shouldn't be the ones who like the person I like. You should remember your proper role."
Shen Jinchen glanced at him and looked at him coldly.
"Young master, I..."
Shangse felt somewhat resentful at his treatment. However, the young master always kept his word. It seemed he had truly angered him this time.
"Go and call Feng Qin back, then go to Yingzhou. There's no need to say anything else."
Seeing that he was about to speak, Shen Jinchen, impatient to listen, simply waved his hand.
"I am!"
Shang Se glanced sadly at Shen Jinchen, then at Cen Xi, before retreating.
“Come here, I’ve chased him away, you won’t see him again.”
After Shang Se left, Shen Jinchen sat up straight and waved to Cen Xi. As for his previous speculations, he was relieved the moment she stepped into the room. As long as she didn't abandon him at the drop of a hat like before, he was already content.
No one had ever taught him how to like a woman before, so he was left to do whatever he wanted. In his eyes, as long as she cared about him, he didn't care about the details.
"Your bodyguard should be fired. I've never offended him, yet he holds such a grudge against me. It's really inexplicable."
Cen Xi walked up to him angrily and said.
"Alright, I've already punished him. He won't show up again. Seeing that you still remember me, I..."
Shen Jinchen raised his hand and grabbed Cen Xi's hand, then looked at him intently.
"Why are you looking at me? Did he change your dressing?"
Cen Xi hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to him and asked.
"Yes, it's been changed, but I haven't taken my medicine or had breakfast yet. Can you feed me?"
The frail man gazed at Cen Xi with deep, affectionate eyes, making Cen Xi blush slightly.
"Then let's have breakfast first, and then take the medicine."
Cen Xi turned her face away in a panic, then let go of Shen Jinchen's hand and went to the table to get the food.
"Hehe, okay!"
Shen Jinchen chuckled softly, then let her go as she pleased, bringing a bowl of millet porridge and a small dish of side dishes to her bedside.
It seems my worries yesterday were unnecessary. No matter how hard I tried, I still won this woman's heart.
After bringing the food over, Cen Xi didn't say anything, but just fed Shen Jinchen spoonful by spoonful. She never thought that one day she would take such good care of a man.
What is love? She didn't understand. She only knew that she cared about him a lot. If she had to go through the baptism of love, then so be it. Even if her previous ideas were broken, it wouldn't be bad to have a passionate love affair. At worst, if she stopped loving him later, she could just part ways and never see him again.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Shen Jinchen asked her curiously.
"Hmm! Should I do what Pan Jinlian did and call you 'Big Wolf' to come and take your medicine?"
Seeing that he had finished his rice and dishes properly, Cen Xi was in a good mood and couldn't help but want to tease him a little.
"What's the story behind this? I've never heard of it before."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Shen Jinchen smiled and asked.
"The allusions in a certain picture book, like those of Shen Xiang, are probably unknown to those who only read the classics."
Cen Xi glanced at him twice and replied with a smile.
"What happened to the last one, Da Lang?"
After taking a sip of the medicinal soup that Cen Xi handed him, Shen Jinchen smiled and asked.
"Naturally, he was poisoned to death by his wife? Because his wife had married a local tycoon and was preparing to remarry."
Cen Xi smiled and replied after putting the last mouthful of medicine into his mouth.
The effect was indeed obvious; Shen Jinchen choked on all the medicine he was drinking, coughing several times before saying:
"What do you mean by this? Are you suggesting I move our wedding date forward?"
"Can't I tease you a little for no reason? You used to play tricks on me, pressured me, and left me with nowhere to escape. What's wrong with me teasing you? Besides, marriage is always arranged by parents and matchmakers. When did you find my parents? If they agree to let me marry you, I will naturally listen to them. Right now, you are at most my mistress."
"Actually, I don't mind being your mistress. When you change your mind one day and don't want me anymore, it'll be perfect that I'm not bound by marriage. I won't even need to write a divorce papers. I can just leave. Isn't that great!"
Cen Xi glanced at him with a smile, and kept listing all the bad things he had done in the past. Just thinking about it made her feel that there were too many to count.
Actually, she had been planning to escape before, but she also knew in her heart that even if he ran to the ends of the earth, he would not escape the clutches of evil. So this time, when Shen Jinchen was injured, she could say that she was giving herself a way out.
"You said it yourself, if I can find someone to decide your marriage, you will marry me. You woman, even now you're still talking about being a mistress or not. Do you know how many women have flocked to me because of my talent and looks? Yet you always ignore my true feelings."
Upon hearing Cen Xi's words, Shen Jinchen's thin, upturned lips instantly lost their smile. He gave Cen Xi a cold look for a while before retorting with a mixture of displeasure and arrogance.
"They're all scrambling for her, you should just choose them! Why are you bothering me? Do you just like me because I'm unconventional, beautiful, gentle, and virtuous?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I also like to visit brothels and occasionally gamble. When I see a beautiful woman, I like to flirt with her, and I'm no exception when it comes to handsome men. Are you sure you want to marry a prime minister's wife like this?"
Cen Xi glanced at it with a smile, then calmly retorted.
She's so pathetic; I don't know which eye of his was blind to have taken a liking to her.
