Chapter 65 Shen Jiaorou's Visit
When Jiang Yuyan woke up, her head was still aching from a hangover.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Yi sitting in the living room. She was very happy and asked, "You're back so early? Is there anything going on in the clan?"
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. She really didn't remember anything. So he pushed the hangover soup on the table and said, "Drink it, so you don't have a headache today."
"Thank you!" Jiang Yuyan felt warm in her heart and smiled sincerely.
Finally, I suddenly wondered how I got back to my room last night?
Her heart skipped a beat, and her last impression of last night was on the dining table in the yard.
Could it be that Shen Yi came back last night?
But why? I rushed back overnight and made this hangover soup for her in the morning...
Jiang Yuyan glanced at him secretly and couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
No way, with my current appearance, Shen Yi would never be interested in me. I should just be a friend that I get along with happily...
Unlike her flickering eyes, Shen Yi was calm and composed, as if making the soup was just a piece of cake.
"Master, I'm back!" A cheerful sound of footsteps was heard outside, and Shen Fu quickly stepped into the house.
"Look who's here?"
Shen Fu quickly made room to the side, and a slim girl with her face covered by a veil appeared in front of the two men.
"Cousin!" The girl took off her veil, revealing a small and delicate face. It was Shen Jiaorou.
Jiang Yuyan was a little surprised and embarrassed when she saw the visitor. It was the first time she met Shen Yi's relatives and friends.
The woman was a rare beauty in Dayue Country, and her eyes were full of joy and admiration when she looked at Chen Yi.
For some reason, Jiang Yuyan felt a little nervous.
Shen Jiaorou was also observing Jiang Yuyan. She had asked Shen Fu on the way here. It turned out that Shen Yi was with this woman all day. She thought she was a foxy woman, but she didn't expect that her face was covered with scars and was ugly. She felt relieved at the moment.
But Shen Yi did not return to his clan but lived in the same courtyard with this woman, which still made him unhappy.
Shen Yi's voice on the other side did not fluctuate, "Ah Fu, why did you bring Jiao Rou out? If something goes wrong, don't come to me to cry if the Second Elder wants to peel your skin off!"
Chen Fu said with a sad face, "This is none of my business, sir. Miss Jiao Rou was waiting for me at the entrance of the valley early this morning. She said she wanted to come to see you. How could I stop her?"
Shen Yi's voice softened a little, and he said, "Jiao Rou, I'm here to see patients at Jimin Hall, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to take care of you, so let Shen Fu take you back to the valley."
“Cousin, I’m also a doctor, I can help you here.” Shen Jiaorou raised her head and said sincerely.
Chen Yi has not been in the clan often these years. If they had the opportunity to spend more time together, they might fall in love. Besides, she is very confident about her appearance.
“It’s very inconvenient for a woman to be outside, and I don’t have many patients here, so I don’t need your help…” Shen Yi frowned and refused.
Shen Jiaorou bit her lip, "Then she is also a woman, why is she here?"
Shen Yi glanced at Jiang Yuyan from the corner of his eye. Seeing that she seemed a little absent-minded, he said perfunctorily: "Canglan is the daughter of my old friend. Her family is in trouble, so I let her stay here to study medicine so that she can make a living in the future."
"Oh, do women outside this mountain need to make a living for themselves? Can't they just find a few men to support them?" Shen Jiaorou sneered, but her face was still innocent.
Shen Yi's brows were furrowed. He had taken care of Shen Jiaorou since she was a child, and secretly regarded her as a younger generation that he was close to.
At this moment, I was quite unhappy to hear her obviously rude words, "Jiao Rou, don't talk nonsense..."
Seeing that her cousin, who usually didn't like people getting close to her, was very close to Jiang Yuyan, and even defended her in his words, Shen Jiaorou was jealous for a moment, "Or is it that this young lady couldn't find a husband to protect her and had to make a living on her own? Then why does she rely on my cousin? Don't you know the difference between men and women? It's simply shameless..."
Jiang Yuyan was stunned. As a married woman, it was indeed inappropriate for her to live in the same courtyard with Shen Yi.
It's just that she has been concentrating on learning medical skills and soul-control techniques from him these days, and her heart is clear, so she didn't think about it in this way.
Chen Yi was probably worried that she would be lonely or meet with an accident, so he tacitly agreed to this "roommate" relationship.
Judging from the customs of the Dayue Kingdom, this was indeed against etiquette and would damage his reputation.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyan felt both uneasy and moved.
There seemed to be something different between her and Shen Yi.
So, at this moment, she was not so open and confident.
He looked up at Shen Yi, only to see that the other person had a serious look on his face.
“As the daughter of a clan elder, you speak without restraint. Is this what I have taught you all along?” Shen Yi’s face was very gloomy and he said coldly.
Shen Jiaorou rarely saw her cousin like this, and was immediately frightened. She cried in grievance, "You were so mean to me just for this ugly guy..."
"Shut up!" Upon hearing this, Shen Yi showed signs of getting angry.
Shen Jiaorou took a step back in fear, crying silently with her little face wrinkled.
Jiang Yuyan suddenly felt embarrassed and immediately called Shen Fu to the front clinic, leaving the space for the cousins.
Shen Jiaorou sobbed for a while before she stopped. She still couldn't believe that her high and mighty cousin would fall for such an ugly girl, who was a foreigner at that.
She thought he had spoken without thinking in anger, so she softened her voice and said, "Cousin, I just said something out of turn. But you...you and I have known each other for many years, you know my feelings...I..."
Shen Yi immediately interrupted her next words, his voice cold and cold, "I only treat you as a close junior, nothing more. You don't need to waste your time here."
"Why?!"
Shen Jiaorou’s heart was broken into pieces.
Although he had a clear attitude last night, she still didn't give up, always feeling that she had not made her feelings for him clear.
But today she realized that Shen Yi might know everything, but he didn't give her any chance.
"I don't believe you have no feelings for me!" Chen Jiaorou raised her voice, struggling in her heart, "You treated me so well. When I was seven years old, I made a fuss about wanting to eat candied haws from outside the mountain, and you carried a whole straw rack for me without my mother's knowledge. When I was nine years old, I fell into the water and had a fever, and you stayed by my side for three days and three nights without rest. When I was twelve years old, I was stabbed by a poisonous spider in Hongliao, and you took out the clan's sacred medicine, Hanxingcao, to detoxify me, and you even knelt down in the ancestral hall for this..."
Shen Jiaorou displayed them one by one, but Shen Yi remained indifferent.
"Are you rejecting me like this because you are so much older than me... I... I don't mind! You know I have wanted to marry you since I was a child!" Shen Jiaorou grabbed a corner of Shen Yi's clothes in a sad voice, with a hint of pleading in her words.
Shen Yi was fed up with her. The beauty was crying, but he had no sympathy for her. He was still in a mess, so how could he have the energy to comfort a young girl?
“I’m only nice to you because you’re my aunt’s daughter. If I’d known you’d be so entangled today, I would have stayed away from you…” Shen Yi pulled out the corner of his clothes and spoke.
These cold words made Shen Jiaorou feel like she was falling into an ice cave, “If I had known… at the beginning…” She almost thought she was hallucinating.
How could her gentle and kind cousin think like this?
Shen Jiaorou clenched her fists, she was unwilling! "Cousin rejected me so much, but you have someone in your heart?"
Chen Yi did not answer her. He felt that Jiang Yuyan was like the moon last night. Perhaps as early as when he was in Huzhou, she had shone into his heart in a special way.
As he was thinking about this, he didn't notice that the expression on his face had visibly softened.
Seeing this, Shen Jiaorou felt that her guess was correct. However, there had never been any woman around Shen Yi, and now the only one who was close to him was...
Her thoughts were churning in her mind. Although the woman's face was disfigured, she must have been beautiful in the past, and she had such a seductive figure!
As a result, she became more and more uncertain, and Shen Jiaorou boldly asked: "But what about that woman just now?"
Shen Yi came back to his senses and looked at her seriously, "This is not something you should ask about. Go back quickly. Don't say anything!"
Shen Jiaorou stamped her feet anxiously, "I don't care who it is! Cousin, don't forget the clan rules! I won't let you make the same mistake again!"
After saying that, he ran out.
Shen Yi shook his head helplessly.
Seeing her running away in a hurry, Jiang Yuyan quickly asked Shen Fu to see her off. Although the woman was not very friendly to her, she did not want anything to happen to her on the way.
Shen Yi sat down in his special chair as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yuyan coughed lightly and said with a wry smile, "Your little cousin is really pretty!"
Shen Yi raised his eyes and glanced at her, seemingly not wanting to pay attention.
"Well...what Miss Shen said just now is not without reason...I am a married woman, and if you live with me, I am afraid it will damage your reputation." Jiang Yuyan spoke awkwardly.
"You don't have to care about her, she's spoiled by the elders!"
"I'm just thinking about you..." Jiang Yuyan laughed bitterly and teased herself, "If I hadn't ruined this appearance, the delay would have been delayed. I'm responsible for you. Now you've suffered a great loss."
After hearing this, Shen Yi smiled with curved lips, and raised his voice at the end, "Then how do you want to be responsible? Hmm? Madam Jiang?"
As he spoke, his cheek was close to Jiang Yuyan, and the hot air he exhaled sprayed on her face.
“.………”
Jiang Yuyan looked at the man so close to her, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her earlobes quietly turned red. This Chen Yi was really flirting without her knowing it.
"Your cousin seems to like you very much..." Jiang Yuyan turned her head away and changed the subject, answering a question that was not asked.
Shen Yi didn’t want to comment on this matter, so he picked up a book and hummed: “Hmm.”
"How could she like you? Cousins are too close. Children born within three generations are prone to problems. I've talked to you about genetics before..."
Jiang Yuyan stopped talking halfway, she realized that she had crossed the line, her words were tentative, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
What is wrong with me... How could I have such romantic thoughts with this appearance?
Shen Yi focused on the page of the book and didn't grasp the point of the question, "She is not my aunt's biological daughter..."
Jiang Yuyan was stunned, and her mood dropped sharply. The corners of her clothes were also messed up by her.
Shen Yi noticed her daze, thought about her previous question, and added, "Whether she likes me or not has nothing to do with me."
As if being fished out of an icy lake, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but feel excited. She found Shen Yi's lazily reading book more and more pleasing to the eye.
When she lay in bed at night, she was still thinking about what happened during the day.
She had been loved before, and she had loved before. She was not sure how good Shen Yi was to her, but she often had mood swings because of him.
"Do you like me?" Jiang Yuyan muttered to herself in a daze. But when she thought of her unrecognizable face, she couldn't help but feel bitter...
