Qin Boyan suddenly spoke up.
"Eat your food and don't overthink it."
Song Lan got up, took the bowl, and went to the yard: "I'm a little hot, I'm going outside to get some fresh air."
"Second brother, it's not hot at all these past two days, and it's even cooler at night than during the day, don't you agree?"
Tuanzi Xiaowu couldn't understand why his sister-in-law said she was a little hot. He tilted his head and looked at his second brother, Qin Boyan. Seeing the other brother nod, he couldn't help but ask again, "Then why did your sister-in-law say she was a little hot?"
Staring at him with those hopeful eyes, Qin Boyan was speechless for a moment. He didn't know why or how to explain.
"Two idiots!"
Qin Yaxin glanced at her younger brother, then at her second brother Qin Boyan, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Second sister, I'm not stupid!"
Tuanzi Xiaowu puffed out her cheeks and glared at her with wide eyes: "If you call me stupid again, I'll go tell my sister-in-law right now!"
You know?
Qin Boyan squinted as he looked at Qin Yaxin.
"Of course I know, but I'm not telling you!"
After finishing her porridge, Qin Yaxin tapped the empty plate in front of her and said to Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, "You two little devils, eat up quickly, I'm waiting to wash the dishes!"
Wu Dong had finished eating and sat in his seat without saying anything, just watching with amusement as Tuanzi Xiao Wu and Qin Yaxin battled it out.
"My sister and I aren't little rascals, second sister, can't you speak with a little more politeness?"
Rolling her eyes at Qin Yaxin, Tuanzi Xiaowu looked at her younger sister Xiaoliu and said, "Eat slowly, don't mind your second sister, she just likes to make a fuss!"
In the courtyard, Song Lan held a rice bowl in one hand and fanned herself with the other, but she felt that the heat on her face had not subsided at all. Moreover, whenever she thought of the scene where Qin Yanzheng grabbed her wrist, her face became even hotter, and her heart beat faster.
As soon as she got into the yard, she put the bowl on the windowsill and took her pulse, but found nothing wrong with her body.
Well, Song Lan had actually thought about it. Her racing heart and flushed cheeks were probably related to Qin Yanzheng gripping her wrist, or to put it bluntly, to the skin-to-skin contact between the two of them.
Although she had wiped his body and massaged him before, which naturally involved skin-to-skin contact, the moment Qin Yanzheng grabbed her wrist just now, she felt that the skin-to-skin contact was different from before.
Could it be... could it be that she has a different identity?
As she wiped Qin Yanzheng's body and massaged his injured leg, she subconsciously regarded herself as a healer, so... that's why she didn't blush or experience any unusual symptoms.
Judging from her reaction just now, she was the kind of person an ordinary woman would have. In other words, she wasn't a doctor in front of Qin Yanzheng, but just an ordinary woman. If she had to be identified as someone else, she would undoubtedly be Qin Yanzheng's wife.
Women are easily shy in front of men they like, and newlywed wives are easily shy in front of their beloved husbands. Even though she had been in the military camp for six or seven years, she knew this.
Before her elder brother married his future sister-in-law, she attended a banquet held by the Prince of Qiqing's mansion. She and her future sister-in-law were talking by the lake when the other woman suddenly blushed and did not respond to her for a long time.
Following the gaze of her future sister-in-law, she discovered that it was her elder brother and several young men standing on the opposite lakeside enjoying the scenery. Inadvertently, the eyes of the engaged couple met, causing the future sister-in-law to blush involuntarily.
Later, when the eldest sister-in-law married into their Zhenguo Mansion, during their honeymoon, the family was having a meal together when the eldest sister-in-law suddenly coughed. The eldest brother, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but ask her a few questions. He was looking at his sister-in-law at that moment and noticed that her cheeks were flushed.
My mother said that my eldest brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship.
She felt like she knew something.
Now... could it be that she has unknowingly fallen in love?
In other words, she likes Qin Yanzheng...
Thinking of this possibility, Song Lan felt her face burning up, and at the same time, her heart rate was even faster than before... But she had only been in this world for a short time, and she was not even familiar with Qin Yanzheng.
Even the original owner of this body had no recollection of Qin Yanzheng.
All I know is that the other person is a good person, and the name "Qin Yanzheng".
Well, in any case, Song Lan knew one thing: she and Qin Yanzheng were husband and wife, even if they were only husband and wife in name only, their relationship was protected by the laws of this world.
And it's perfectly reasonable that she developed feelings for the original owner after merging with her memories because of her character.
She developed feelings for him, and after Qin Yanzheng woke up, their few conversations won her heart.
In that world, when her sister-in-law, from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, asked her if she had anyone she liked, she bluntly said no.
In fact, she really didn't have one at that time. Besides, marriage was a matter of parental arrangement and matchmaker's words, and she was still young at the time, so she had never thought about marriage.
My sister-in-law said: When you meet someone you like, you will think about getting married and spending your life with him.
Even now, when Song Lan recalls that scene, she still finds her sister-in-law's smile incredibly sweet.
I remember my sister-in-law saying: "If you like someone, you like them; if you don't like someone, you don't like them. Although our children's marriages are arranged by their parents and matchmakers, as parents who love their children, they will arrange for their children to secretly take a look at the other person before the engagement is finalized. You are the eldest daughter of our Duke's Mansion, and the child that your father and mother love the most. They will definitely make more arrangements for you..."
Song Lan gathered her wandering thoughts, and a trace of melancholy gradually appeared in her eyes, a melancholy tinged with longing and sorrow... Her father and mother would never have imagined that their beloved daughter, whom they cherished so dearly, would one day go to war in place of her father and brothers, and would be stationed at the border for many years, fighting against the Tartars...
Even more unimaginable was that before even arranging a blind date for his only daughter, he... he would be burying his child...
Her eyes stung, and Song Lan tilted her head back to force back the tears.
Gradually, she adjusted her mood and thought to herself: Since I have feelings for her and am slightly moved, and we are already husband and wife, I might as well just let things continue like this for now!
That's right, Song Lan has no intention of running away. She was once a decisive general who fought against a large army on the battlefield. She was the only female marquis personally appointed by the emperor after she wiped out the barbarians on the grasslands. Since she understands her own feelings, she will not choose to ignore them or be a coward in matters of the heart and back down directly!
Inside Qin Yanzheng's room, after Song Lan hurriedly left, Qin Yanzheng sensed something. He wasn't a complete novice when it came to relationships between men and women, because many female classmates had pursued him during his university years, but he had never considered them.
However, one person, even after he started working, still wouldn't give up and kept trying to contact him and make his presence known. But he was always meticulous in his dealings with people and things, and he knew he had no romantic feelings for the other person, so he kept his distance and didn't give her any chance to misunderstand.
