Chapter 116: Full of Nonsense
He sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea. "If you don't like growing vegetables, I just had someone prepare some flowers. They should be delivered tomorrow. I'll have them planted then. If you like, you can water them on weekdays."
"I've got some people coming to help you buy some clothes tomorrow. If there's anything in this room that you're not used to, you can change it out tomorrow. If there's any gold or silver jewelry you like, feel free to buy it."
Everything he said was meant to coax her.
Lu Wanning glanced at him and said, "It seems that Mr. Chen is very well prepared for this trip."
He must have brought a lot of money from the Chen family, otherwise he would not have spent money so generously and lavishly.
Chen Wenjian chuckled, "It's still enough to support you."
Seeing Lu Wanning feel a chill, he pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps you can still call me Zhaoming like before."
Lu Wanning was completely aware of this man's shamelessness and turned her back on him, ignoring him.
But she waited for a long time and Chen Wenjian didn't leave. She heard a rustling sound behind her. Lu Wanning turned around and saw that the man had taken off his coat and was about to rest.
She sat up straight away and asked, "You want to sleep here?"
Chen Wenjian's face was calm. "Of course, we will be husband and wife from now on, and husband and wife naturally have to live together."
Almost vomiting blood on his face, Lu Wanning said, "If you live here, I will die in front of you tomorrow to avoid being disgusted by you."
Chen Wenjian stopped.
He couldn't bear Lu Wanning dying in front of her again.
Even though he had made all the necessary preparations, people who were determined to die would always find a way to do it, and he couldn't take any chances on this matter.
The anger and rejection in her eyes now made Chen Wenjian feel a dull pain in his heart.
Forget it, he couldn't anger her anymore. He had plenty of time to take things slow with her anyway.
Thinking this way, Chen Wenjian did not move forward and said softly, "You don't have to be so repulsive to me. Qi Muchao treats you well, but how do you know that he is not attracted by your medical skills? You can regulate his body, so he naturally values you. But have you ever thought about how he would treat you if you didn't have these medical skills?"
"You and I clearly had a very harmonious past life. Because of your departure in your past life, I understand how much you meant to me, and naturally, I cherish you even more."
He was somewhat helpless, "When will you understand that compared to Qi Muchao, you and I are the most suitable."
Full of nonsense!
Lu Wanning didn't want to hear a word. Knowing that he would not stay here to rest, she simply closed her eyes.
No response to any of his words.
After a while, the sound of the door closing was heard and Chen Wenjian left.
…
For several days in a row, Lu Wanning asked people to go out to the street to buy some food.
There were all kinds of preserved fruits and snacks, some of which she loved very much, while others she just took a bite and threw on the table.
At first, Chen Wenjian would call the servants to ask her what she had bought and eaten, but as it happened more and more often, he paid less attention to it.
Two days later, the little maid came to tell him that Lu Wanning was in a bad mood and seemed to want to go out for a walk.
It is indeed not a good idea to keep someone locked up like this. Chen Wenjian went to see her. Even though he had someone take care of her with good food and drink, bought food from outside, and reported her meals every day, Lu Wanning still lost weight.
Chen Wenjian asked someone to call a doctor. The doctor frowned tightly and first said that Lu Wanning was depressed. Later, when he learned that she had been taking muscle softening powder, he immediately glared at her.
"How can this kind of medicine be taken long-term? It will ruin healthy people in the end."
After being talked into it, Chen Wenjian asked someone to stop giving Lu Wanning the muscle softening powder and replace it with a milder medicine that could make people lose their strength.
The doctor still seemed to disapprove, and even imagined a lot of robbery and plundering by these two people. However, he was just a country doctor and could not take care of these things. No matter how much he said, it was useless.
So he prescribed some tranquilizers and left angrily.
Two more days passed like this. Chen Wenjian seemed a little worried about Lu Wanning's health. Or maybe he wanted to see Lu Wanning as lively as before, so he finally relented and was willing to let her go out for a walk occasionally.
But every time she went out, she could only walk to the entrance of the alley. Firstly, she really didn't have much strength, and secondly, there were too many people following her, so she had no desire to walk around.
Perhaps because he saw that she was quite well-behaved, Chen Wenjian did not ask anyone to stop her when they walked out of the alley and onto the street to chat with the pancake seller.
Lu Wanning did not just sit there and wait for death during this period.
She knew that Qi Muchao would find her, it was just a matter of time, but she didn't want to stay with Chen Wenjian for even a day. Looking at that face every day made her feel extremely sick.
Although she seemed obedient these days, she got some information from chatting with others.
For example, the one selling sesame cakes says this is Qiyuan.
Lu Wanning didn't have a deep impression of this place. She racked her brains for a long time, comparing the always humid climate here with the capital, and finally remembered that she seemed to have heard of this place.
This is a place completely opposite to the capital. If it were on the map of Ming Dynasty, it should be two diagonal lines.
But she soon felt something was wrong. If it was really Qiyuan, it would be impossible for him to get here from the capital in just ten days.
She was a little skeptical. It couldn't be that the man selling sesame cakes was also arranged by Chen Wenjian.
But despite her doubts, Lu Wanning still did not reveal any of her emotions.
No matter whether this is Qiyuan or Tianbian, she must leave.
Before going to bed at night, Lu Wanning turned out the things hidden under the quilt.
These were the medicinal things she had left over from the various snacks her servants had bought for her these days.
The kernels of some preserved fruits can be ground into powder and become a medicine.
But the effect is not very good, so not many people know about it. The reason why she knows about it is that although this thing is not very effective as medicine, it can be used to make poisons to the greatest extent.
All of these were recorded in detail in the book on poisons of all kinds that her master left her.
Everything needed now has been prepared. Lu Wanning is just waiting for the day when Chen Wenjian relaxes his guard and stuffs these things into his mouth.
Such an opportunity soon came.
Chen Wenjian didn’t know what he did every day, but he was always drunk when he came back these past two days.
Lu Wanning asked the little maid to cook him a hangover soup yesterday. Chen Wenjian hesitated for a moment and drank it all in one gulp, but he didn't feel anything unusual. On the contrary, the bitterness in the soup made him a little more sober.
So he was very happy, thinking that his efforts over this period of time had paid off.
