Chapter 313 Husband, why are you crying?
Shen Ruofu was in pain all over her body. Looking at the bruises on her skin in the mirror, she felt terrible. She knew that Madam Shen and Shen Jingxiu would feel sorry for her.
So after dinner, she made some minor alterations to her injuries before changing into her swimsuit and bathrobe and going out.
At the medicinal spring, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Jingxiu were already soaking in the reserved hot spring pool.
Ji Ying wore a bathrobe, but it was chilly at night, so Liang Yizhi draped a thick cloak over her before letting her go out.
When the two arrived, they happened to run into Shen Ruofu.
At the private hot spring area, there are waiters at the entrance of each hot spring pool.
Shen Ruofu bowed her head gently to Liang Yizhi, then confidently stepped into the hot spring, removed her bathrobe, and showed her injuries to Shen Jingxiu and his wife, as well as Liang Yizhi.
At that moment, the waiter stopped her with a serious expression.
"Excuse me, ma'am, your face is unusually flushed, and we suspect you have been drinking. According to the resort's regulations, for the safety of our guests, those who have been drinking are strictly prohibited from entering the hot springs."
Shen Ruofu was very unhappy with the waiter's sudden interruption. "I don't have the habit of drinking while eating. What right do you have to talk nonsense?"
The waiter didn't argue with her, but quickly checked something on his tablet, his tone becoming even more businesslike.
"Your dinner set menu includes a dish called 'Secret Recipe Drunken Duck.' This dish is cooked with a large amount of high-quality Shaoxing wine. Although it is braised, the alcohol may not have completely evaporated. For your health and safety, please understand."
Shen Ruofu was greatly surprised. "I ordered a set meal and didn't ask you to serve me any dishes with alcohol. You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
She immediately suspected that these people had been bribed by Ji Ying.
The waiter showed her the tablet and said, "Ma'am, our room service ordering system uses a unique verification code for each room, and only the phone number on which you booked the room can receive the verification code. This set meal was indeed ordered by you, and there is a note under the dish that says, 'Please wait four hours after consuming this dish before soaking in the hot spring.'"
Shen Ruofu was stunned when she saw the line of small characters.
Did she see this line when she ordered?
The Drunken Immortal Duck tasted very good. She couldn't taste any alcohol, but she did feel that her blood circulation had sped up after eating it.
"Ruofu..."
Hearing the noise at the door, Madam Shen put on her bathrobe and came out. Seeing that she really looked like she had been drinking, she said, "Since the manor has rules, it's for your own good. You should go back to your room and rest tonight. We have activities tomorrow, so we can play together then."
Shen Ruofu stood frozen in place.
Is the beating she suffered just going to become a joke that no one knows about and no one cares about?
"Make way, we haven't been drinking. If you keep blocking the way, my wife will catch a cold, and that's your problem."
Liang Yizhi and Ji Ying stood behind and watched, because Shen Ruofu wanted to go in first.
It was quite chilly outside in late autumn, and he was afraid that Ji Ying wouldn't be able to stand it, so he held her tightly.
Reminded by him, Shen Ruofu subconsciously made way for the entrance to the hot spring.
Liang Yizhi put his arm around Ji Ying and led her inside.
Once everyone had arrived, the waiter closed the door for them.
Madam Shen grumbled as she returned to the hot spring, "Ruo Fu is such a grown woman, how could she be so careless? Eating dishes cooked with yellow wine before soaking in the hot spring is no different from drinking alcohol."
Shen Jingxiu, who had been soaking in the hot spring, finally removed the handkerchief from his face. He glanced outside and said, "Adults must be responsible for their actions."
Actually, he didn't want outsiders to attend their family gathering, and he used this method to get Shen Ruofu to go back to sleep.
Seeing Liang Yizhi and Ji Ying approach, Shen Jingxiu smiled.
"Did you catch a cold outside? Come down quickly, soaking in the water will warm you up."
Madam Shen glanced at him and noticed that he made no attempt to hide his affection for Ji Ying.
Ji Ying took off her cloak and untied her bathrobe, about to enter the pool, when suddenly, the gruesome scar on her abdomen was exposed to the air. Madam Shen, sitting in the pool, gasped in surprise, letting out a soft exclamation, "Oh my god..."
Ji Ying froze instantly, her first instinct being to put her bathrobe back on and leave.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Liang Yizhi reacted quickly, immediately using his broad body to shield her from Madam Shen, protecting her tightly in his arms.
Ji Ying looked utterly ashamed. "I told you not to wear this kind of swimsuit, but you still said it wasn't scary."
Liang Yizhi patted her back gently, "It wasn't scary at all. Madam Shen overreacted. Don't worry about it."
At the same time, Shen Jingxiu looked at his wife and said in a low voice, "Madam has been through many storms in saving lives, so why are you making such a fuss and losing your composure in front of the child? Do you really dislike her that much?"
Madam Shen was momentarily embarrassed by his words.
With Liang Yizhi providing cover, Ji Ying stepped into the hot spring, but even so, she frowned slightly and deliberately avoided looking at the two people opposite her.
Liang Yizhi, mindful of her feelings, turned to face her and leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool.
Shen Jingxiu felt heartbroken for Ji Ying's self-conscious behavior.
"Is there any way to remove Yingying's scars?" he asked.
Liang Yizhi replied, "We've been using scar-reducing cream, and the other scars on her body are no longer visible. These... have also faded a lot compared to before."
It means that the old scars are now more grotesque.
Shen Jingxiu's heart clenched, and the question that had been on his mind blurted out, "How did this happen?"
"Electric shock," Ji Ying whispered.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingxiu and his wife both gasped.
Madam Shen is an expert in the field of genetic engineering, so she naturally knows that using abdominal electric shocks on women is a very typical trace left by extreme methods that are only used in certain illegal places on the black market.
Even an insignificant person couldn't help but feel sympathy after learning about the other person's ordeal, and her gaze towards Ji Ying indeed softened.
Liang Yizhi gently brushed a stray strand of hair from Ji Ying's cheek behind her ear and whispered, "You don't have to say if you don't want to."
Ji Ying looked up at him, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
"It's alright. These scars have made me weak, but I have to learn to overcome them. I'm so glad you arrived in time that time. Thank you so much."
At that time, Liang Yizhi did not know her identity; he only went to find her because Xiao Xia mentioned it.
It seems that his feelings for her were already quite special back then.
Because of her words, Liang Yizhi cupped her face and kissed the corner of her mouth, saying, "I'm sorry."
Ji Ying pursed her lips and looked away from him.
Madam Shen was fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and when she looked back at her husband, she saw that his eyes were red.
"Honey, why are you crying?"
