Shen Ning suddenly stood up, but her legs ached so much that she couldn't stand steadily. Then someone helped her up by the waist.
The scene seemed strangely familiar, and she felt something was wrong, but her consciousness was shrouded in something, and her reason wasn't so clear either.
She looked up and saw a familiar handsome face, but she quickly looked down, her gaze fixed on the waist that was tightly bound by a sash.
He had his arm around her, and they were so close that she could clearly see the pattern on his waistband, and she could reach out and touch it.
Disorientation, possessed by a demon.
She reached out and hugged him tightly...
"......"
In the pitch-black night, only an oil lamp cast a dim, hazy light.
Looking at her familiar boudoir, Shen Ning's mind gradually calmed down, but she still felt it was absurd.
She dreamt that she was hugging Qin Zhuo's waist!
So much happened today, she could at least have a nightmare, why did she have to dream about this?
Its destructive power is more terrifying than a nightmare.
She was interested in Qin Zhuo...
What's this?
She gently got up and got out of bed. She glanced at the fireflies and jade bamboo who were keeping watch, but didn't wake them. She quietly drank a cup of water to quench her thirst and then lay back down.
After the fright, she came to her senses and her rationality returned. She began to think about the reason for her dream.
Thinking about today's events and her several meetings with Qin Zhuo, she ultimately concluded that Qin Zhuo was the most handsome man she had ever seen.
But what she cared about most in her dream wasn't Qin Zhuo's face, but his waist.
What kind of fetish is this?
No, it should be that she rode behind him on horseback today, constantly looking at his waist, which led to this beautiful and absurd dream.
As for Qin Zhuo... Shen Ning was unusually confused.
Shen Ning had read a lot about matters between men and women, but he was still completely confused.
Thinking back to her past life, there were quite a few men who coveted her. Although she was quite beautiful, most of them coveted the wealth of the Shen family that she held, and tried every means to get something for nothing.
There are good-looking people, but they are too cunning, and their greed and scheming cannot be concealed.
She was overwhelmed with various matters, having to maintain the operation of the Shen family's shop and fend off schemes and attacks from all sides, leaving her no time to seriously look at any men.
Shen Shu was willing to live or die for a man, going through countless ups and downs, while she herself spun around like a top, only to die alone, never having held a man's hand, and not even knowing what it meant to be moved.
It's as if the roots of love have been removed.
And then she was reborn... Is she being put back into her body now?
Thank you, but people who have already figured out life don't really need it.
She and Shen Shu are a stark contrast. Shen Shu's heart and eyes are full of love and affection, while her eyes are full of responsibility, commitment, and business.
Judging from the ending of her previous life, she was a loser.
Shen Shu spent her entire life entangled in romantic relationships, constantly heartbroken over one man or another, suffering the full spectrum of love's bitterness. Yet, after many twists and turns, she married into a prestigious family, had both a son and a daughter, and was still adored by several men.
Shen Ning, on the other hand, is completely different. She is always calm and rational, with clear goals. She prioritizes her own interests, firmly defends the wealth in her hands, tries every means to make money, and then holds on to it tightly.
But in the end, she never met a man who truly loved her in her life. In the end, she lost her power and wealth, was left with a body full of illness, and died a tragic death.
A complete and utter loser.
Even though she has already experienced one ending, Shen Ning will still choose her own path in life.
She can accept failing after struggling and fighting hard, but she cannot accept being like a parasitic vine, humbly begging for love from a man.
When a man likes you, he spoils you like a beloved cat, showering you with affection and riches; when he doesn't like you, he turns away, his heartlessness colder than the frost and snow of December.
A man may not like a woman who is career-driven and stubborn, but he will respect and admire such a woman.
Shen Ning didn't want to be a beautiful woman who was loved and pampered by men. She preferred to stand tall and proud in front of others, showing them the backbone of a woman.
From the moment she stood before her mother's coffin with a knife, determined to take on the responsibility of the Shen family, she was already different from ordinary women.
Her name is Shen Ning, not a certain Shen.
Having solidified my resolve, looking back at that somewhat ambiguous dream didn't seem so embarrassing anymore.
She is a woman, so it's not surprising that she has some girlish thoughts.
With Qin Zhuo's outstanding appearance, it's not shameful to feel a flutter of romantic feelings after seeing her.
I just need to control this in the future, so no one finds out...
Sigh... At my age, how could I encounter such a calamity...
Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep again. When Shen Ning woke up, she simply faced her own heart and realized that she had never wanted Qin Zhuo to know anything about her, nor did she want to develop anything with him.
That little bit of spring fever is too light; it can be blown away by a gust of wind. What's the point of talking about the future?
Besides, what is Qin Zhuo's identity?
A member of the royal family, the empress's younger brother, and a troublemaker.
She was self-aware enough to know that this was not someone she was worthy of even dreaming of, so her mind remained calm and composed.
She was indeed greedy for profit and power, but she also knew that without knowing when to stop, endless greed would only bring disaster.
-----
Shen Ning woke up in the middle of the night with a start and realized she had figured it out, unaware that the waves she had stirred up were only just beginning.
As Qin Zhuo said, it was impossible for the emperor not to suspect Shen Ning.
With so many soldiers at the time, Qin Zhuo couldn't silence the gossip and could only report the facts in detail.
