An ordinary carriage only had a curtain in front, but when he pulled it open with such force, a ray of light appeared in the originally dark carriage.
Shen Chuwei instinctively shrank back. In her mind, Xiao Jinyan was not the kind of person who would be so abrupt, especially towards an old lady in her fifties or sixties.
"What are you doing?" The old voice trembled slightly, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the guilt in it.
Xuetuan hid behind Xiaojiu, with only a small white fluffy head showing. Under the dim light, its azure blue eyes shone dazzlingly like gems.
Xiao Jinyan approached without saying a word. Shen Chuwei moved her back backwards with a guilty conscience. As Xiao Jinyan got closer, her body tilted into an uncontrollable arc.
My heart beat uncontrollably faster due to nervousness.
What was Xiao Jinyan trying to do? Just when she was about to collapse, a strong arm hugged her slender waist, and before she could react, she was held in a warm embrace.
Shen Chu was stunned for a few seconds, and was about to curse like the old woman, "You..."
Before she could curse, she heard Xiao Jinyan's slightly hoarse voice: "Xiao Jiu, you scared me to death."
Shen Chuwei opened her mouth but didn't say a word. She couldn't understand how Xiao Jinyan recognized her. She had obviously put a lot of effort into her makeup, and in order to get closer to ordinary people, she even made her makeup ugly and dark on purpose.
If she could be recognized so easily, then wouldn't her makeup be in vain? Just then, a cat's cry was heard, "Meow."
Shen Chu was stunned, she lowered her eyes and glanced at Xuetuan, and suddenly she realized that it was Xuetuan, not her, who had been exposed.
I should have disguised the snowball earlier, or even put some soot on it.
Xuetuan tilted his head and looked at the two people in front of him, with a lot of doubts in his little head.
Xiao Jinyan carried her out of the carriage and then mounted the horse swiftly.
The groom stood there and looked at a handsome man hugging an old woman with dark wrinkles on her face, and he was petrified on the spot.
What is wrong with this world? Old women are so popular now? It was not until the two of them got on the horse that he thought of asking for money.
"Sir, the silver has not been given yet."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the coachman coldly, took out a tael of silver from his waist and gave it to the coachman.
The coachman ran for the whole afternoon and was very happy to get a few coins. Without saying a word, he went back to drive the carriage happily.
Shen Chuwei watched the coachman driving the carriage away, feeling very disappointed. They had finally gotten out of the capital city, and now they had to follow Xiao Jinyan back. Most of the day's work had been in vain.
Xiao Jinyan gripped the reins tightly but did not move. He lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms. She lowered her head, and as it was getting darker, he could not see her expression.
"Xiao Jiu, I don't know how to tell you. I can't explain how important Feng Wuyou is to me in just a few words."
"Then don't say it." Shen Chuwei paused, and added: "I don't want to hear it even if you say it."
Isn't it just Bai Yueguang's childhood sweetheart? It makes her feel like she is listening to her husband talk about his ex.
They say you are young and don’t understand feelings.
Sure enough, nothing a man says can be believed.
Xiao Jinyan's tone was somewhat helpless. In fact, he didn't know how to tell her about him and Feng Wuyou. All he could say was that Feng Wuyou was very, very important to him.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go back first."
Shen Chuwei suddenly pressed his hand to stop him from taking the next step.
Xiao Jinyan stopped and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan. At this time, the sky in autumn got dark early, and it was completely dark in a short while.
Although I can't see that familiar handsome face, I can imagine how beautiful and beautiful the scene is.
"Jinyan, I want to ask you a question."
Xiao Jinyan: "You ask."
"Have you ever thought about marrying Feng Wuyou?"
It's no wonder Shen Chuwei asked this question. In ancient times, unlike modern times, boys could have a maid as young as thirteen or fourteen years old.
When Xiao Jinyan returned to Daxia, he was already sixteen years old. Sixteen years old...
Xiao Jinyan paused and nodded, "Yes."
Not a surprising answer.
Shen Chuwei took a deep breath and continued to ask: "So you said you wouldn't give up on me, is it because of responsibility? If time goes back four years, and you remember Feng Wuyou, there would be nothing for me to do, right?"
Xiao Jinyan pursed her lips tightly. Every question she asked was direct and to the point.
A person who is always greedy and lazy, and doesn't care about anything else, becomes more serious than him when he gets serious.
"I don't give up on you not only because of promise and responsibility. I'm an adult and I know my feelings for you. But I can't deny my feelings for Feng Wuyou. If I haven't forgotten her, I will go find her."
"I find it incredible that I have such feelings for two women, but this is the fact. We are married and cannot be separated."
He deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
As expected, he agreed, and Shen Chuwei smiled helplessly.
"Who could have thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen to us? How nice it would be if you always remembered Feng Wuyou, you would still be you, and I would still be me, just like when we first came here. You wouldn't have to worry about guilt, and I wouldn't have to go through things that I didn't need to go through. We would all be happy, how nice would that be?"
Xiao Jinyan hugged her tightly from behind, he hugged her so tightly, afraid that she would suddenly disappear again.
"Do you know how scared I was when I saw the letter you left? Promise me you won't sneak away again, okay?"
Shen Chu lowered her head slightly, and the snowball in her arms stayed quietly. After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "I'm hungry and want to eat."
Xiao Jinyan hasn't had a drop of water since he came out, which is also the main reason for his hoarse voice. In fact, he was also hungry, but his mind was on looking for Xiaojiu, so he ignored it.
"Then let's go back."
As Xiao Jinyan spoke, he took off his outer robe, wrapped her petite body in it, and then tied it up.
After doing all this, he rode his horse towards the capital city.
The horses were galloping wildly, the cold wind was howling, and it was so cold that people were shivering.
Shen Chu huddled in Xiao Jinyan's arms, and still felt cold even after putting on some clothes.
It was already late at night when I got back to the capital, and I almost couldn't enter the city because of the curfew.
Most of the restaurants in the capital city are closed at this time, except for a few that are still open.
Xiao Jinyan chose a restaurant with good food. After getting off the horse, he carried her straight in.
Shen Chuwei no longer cared about her image as an old woman and let Xiao Jinyan carry her in.
The waiter greeted them with a smile, but when he saw the handsome young man hugging an old woman, the smile on his face froze and he almost thought he was seeing things.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
Xiao Jinyan booked a private room and ordered some of Shen Chuwei's favorite dishes.
There were only a few guests in the restaurant at this time. Xiao Jinyan carried Shen Chuwei and followed the waiter to the private room on the second floor. After a while, the dishes were served on the table one after another.
Shen Chuwei was really hungry, and the smell of the food made her even hungrier. She picked up the chopsticks and glanced at the dishes in front of her. There were pork elbows in braised sauce, braised pork... She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, then took a mouthful of rice. She was craving for braised pork in the first place, and she hadn't eaten rice all day, so the food smelled really good.
Xiao Jinyan took the teacup and took several sips of water to moisten his throat, but his eyes were always on Shen Chuwei. Seeing how she was eating, he knew that she might be very hungry.
He drank a cup of tea before picking up the chopsticks, picking up the food, putting it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Xuetuan sat quietly on another chair, eating his fish.
During the meal, Shen Chuwei didn't say a word. He ate five bowls of rice and stopped only when his stomach was full.
She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and inadvertently wiped off the old-age makeup around her lips without realizing it.
Xiao Jinyan looked at the makeup on her face and found that she looked no different from an old lady in her fifties or sixties. It would not be easy for her to be noticed when she walked on the street, and even familiar people would not be able to recognize her.
This is probably what she will look like in more than 30 years.
After Shen Chuwei finished wiping, she found that Xiao Jinyan had been staring at her. She suddenly remembered that she was now wearing old-age makeup, and it was a very ugly old-age makeup.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"How's my drawing? Is it ugly?"
Xiao Jinyan praised: "It's a very good painting. Everyone gets old one day, and having wrinkles on the face doesn't mean you're ugly."
"Isn't it ugly? I feel disgusted just looking at it." Shen Chuwei touched his face and said, "When I'm fifty or sixty years old, I will definitely look better than this."
Xiao Jinyan nodded in agreement.
"Wait here for a moment, I'm going to take off my makeup." Shen Chuwei said as she stood up and walked out.
Xiao Jinyan also stood up and walked over, "I'll go with you."
Shen Chuwei stopped and shook her head at him, "It will be fine after a while to remove the makeup, you don't need to accompany me."
Xiao Jinyan said stubbornly: "I want to accompany you."
Shen Chuwei: "...Okay."
Accompanied by Xiao Jinyan, he came to the independent washing area downstairs.
Xuetuan can only follow on his own four legs.
Shen Chuwei took out the makeup remover and removed the old-age makeup on her face bit by bit, gradually revealing her original appearance.
Xiao Jinyan watched the whole process and was somewhat surprised that her disguise skills were so powerful.
After removing her makeup, Shen Chuwei washed her face with clean water and wiped it clean with a handkerchief. Her face without makeup suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Are we going back to the palace now?"
Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "No, I'm not going back. I'll sleep in the inn tonight and go back tomorrow."
Shen Chuwei nodded. It was already very late and the palace gates were closed. It would be bad if she was discovered breaking into the palace at night.
Xiao Jinyan took her hand and walked out.
Shen Chuwei followed him out of the restaurant. The inn was still some distance away, so Xiao Jinyan carried her onto the horse. Riding a horse was much faster than walking.
When they returned to the inn, it was already late at night and they both took a bath.
After Shen Chuwei finished her bath, she sat down on the bed. Before she could even warm up her butt, she saw Xiao Jinyan walking towards her in a white shirt. He had a faint fragrance on his body as he had just finished bathing.
She moved inside to make room for him.
Xiao Jinyan sat down beside the bed and looked at her sideways. Since coming to Nanzhao Kingdom, they had very few opportunities to sleep in the same bed, and they also lived separately in the palace.
Shen Chuwei found that Xiao Jinyan had been staring at her, and she didn't know what he was looking at. She yawned, "It's late, it's time to go to bed."
As he said this, he lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over himself, thought for a moment, and then turned sideways to face inside.
Xiao Jinyan quietly watched her turn over with her back to him, remained silent for a few seconds, took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, then turned sideways and held her in his arms as usual.
Shen Chuwei's body stiffened, she slowly opened her eyes, and looked down at the arms that were holding her. She used to sleep in his arms often, so why did it feel a little weird now?
Is this a psychological reason? As expected, once something has a crack, it is difficult to restore it to its original state.
Xiao Jinyan whispered in her ear: "Xiaojiu, give me some time. When I finish, we will go back to Daxia together."
Shen Chuwei said "hmm" lightly.
Xiao Jinyan looked at her reaction and didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed a little different from before, as if she was deliberately staying away from him.
There was silence for a long time, so long that Shen Chuwei felt a little drowsy. She seemed to hear Xiao Jinyan say in a daze: "Xiao Jiu, don't leave me."
The next day, Shen Chuwei returned to Wuyou Palace and learned from the young palace maids and eunuchs that her disappearance had alarmed the emperor. If she did not come back today, the emperor would post an imperial edict to look for her.
"..." So exaggerated? Shen Chuwei went to the emperor to explain the situation immediately and told a little lie. The emperor did not pursue it because he was worried about her.
Just as I came back from the imperial study, Ye Suhan came.
"Where did you go yesterday?"
Shen Chuwei naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so she just made up an excuse: "I went out to play, is there anything wrong?"
Ye Suhan only learned about this when he came back last night. He went out to look for her but couldn't find her. As soon as he got the news that she had returned to the palace, he rushed back.
"It's okay. Wherever you want to go, you can find me and I'll take you there."
Shen Chuwei refused directly: "No, I'm not going anywhere."
Ye Suhan stared at her for a long time and asked, "Who made you unhappy?"
Shen Chuwei paused after hearing this and denied it: "I'm not unhappy."
Ye Suhan said: "You usually have a faint smile in your eyes, but when you are unhappy, there is no smile in your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei almost took out a mirror to check whether it was the same as he said.
"That's because I didn't sleep well, so I'm going to go back to take a nap. Bye!"
After Shen Chuwei finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her own bedroom.
Ye Suhan stood there and watched her walk into the bedroom. Why didn't the master let her recover her memory? Ever since Shen Chuwei sneaked away once, Xiao Jinyan was a little worried. Every time he went out, he didn't dare to come back for too long, for fear that she would sneak away again.
Ye Anyu also got the news and rushed over specially, just to see if this impostor was feeling guilty.
When I arrived, I saw Shen Chuwei feeding the fish. There was no one else around at the moment, so I spoke without hesitation.
"I heard that you suddenly disappeared yesterday. Could it be that you ran away out of guilt?"
Shen Chuwei threw the pastry crumbs into the water and replied nonchalantly: "You guessed right, I just ran away because I felt guilty, what can you do to me?"
She will confess and show leniency to the Imperial Master when he comes back. She doesn’t want to be the fake Feng Wuyou anymore.
