Chapter 49 Where did it come from?
Hidden secretly in Shangguan Jin's inner room were none other than Duke Dingguo Shen Huaichen, who had been missing for three years, and his attendant Shen Zhong.
Shen Huaichen covered Shangguan Jin's mouth to prevent her from making a sound.
Similarly, Shen Zhong covered Dongmai's mouth to prevent her from making a sound.
But Dongmai is not a delicate person like Shangguan Jin who is weak and helpless.
She was also carrying a porcelain vase in her hand!
Without a second thought, Dongmai swung the porcelain bottle and smashed it over Shen Zhong's head.
Fortunately, Shen Zhong was quick-witted and caught the porcelain bottle with one hand.
However, now that he has caught the porcelain bottle, he only has one hand left to control the winter wheat.
Winter wheat has been used to doing physical labor since it was young, so it will naturally seize every opportunity to resist.
Dongmai grabbed Shen Zhong's hand and bit him hard, making Shen Zhong grimace and gasp.
That wasn't all. After taking a bite, Dongmai made a nimble turn and then kicked Shen Zhong in the lower body.
Shen Zhong quickly took two steps back to avoid it.
Shangguan Jin, who was still being restrained by Shen Huaichen, twitched at the corner of her eye.
Dongmai's kick was so forceful, it was clearly aimed at making him infertile!
"Aunt Dong, that's the Duke!" Shen Zhong hurriedly lowered his voice to remind Dong Mai as she was about to rush towards Shen Huaichen again.
“The Duke? Even a dog Duke won’t do…” Dongmai subconsciously lowered her voice as well.
Shen Huaichen, Shangguan Jin...
Winter wheat quickly realized what was happening.
Duke of the country?
The person holding onto his young lady tightly seemed to really be the Duke.
The guy who just grabbed him seemed to be Shen Zhong, the Duke's personal attendant...
Winter wheat was dumbfounded!
What's wrong with the Duke? Why does he come back without making a big fuss by walking through the main gate?
And look how filthy it is! Did it crawl in through some dog hole...?
However, Dongmai's mind immediately drifted to something else.
Now that the Duke has returned in good health, does that mean the blood-stained clothes I painstakingly prepared are no longer needed?
More importantly, will the funeral arrangements for the Duke, which we discussed with the young lady, also fall through, and will we be unable to receive those wedding gifts...?
“Master…” Dongmai didn’t know what to say, so she could only look to Shangguan Jin for help.
Shangguan Jin felt as if a million alpacas were stampeding through her mind.
The Duke of Dingguo has slipped back? Will he soon discover that he's a person from another world living under the body of his wife?
What will you do after you find out...?
"Shen Zhong, I'm not trying to criticize you, but if you had spent less time on the road, you might not have had to come back so late at night."
"You're so slow, you can't even catch the shit while it's still hot." Shen Huaichen was still muttering complaints about his little follower.
Shen Zhong chuckled foolishly twice.
So what if I come back early? Didn't you say yourself that you didn't want everyone to know you were back?
When Shangguan Jin heard Shen Huaichen say that, she suddenly felt a little dazed.
It seems like before I came here, some idiot said these things to my face.
Then he retorted.
"Oh, congratulations to the Duke for getting a hot meal!" Shangguan Jin retorted instinctively.
Shen Huaichen...
Shen Huaichen released Shangguan Jin and looked at her carefully.
She seems to be the same as the lady in the original owner's memories, unchanged, except that she seems to have lost a little weight.
But wasn't the original owner's wife always gentle, considerate, and calm in the face of adversity? Even if the house caught fire, she would make sure she was properly tidied before leaving.
How could a lady from such a prominent family say such a thing?
Moreover, Shen Huaichen felt as if someone had said those words to him when he came into this world...
The person who said those words to me also seemed to be named Shangguan Jin...
Without a second thought, Shen Huaichen pulled Shangguan Jin into the inner room.
"You two stay outside quietly and don't let anyone see you, understand, Shen Zhong!" Shen Huaichen reminded him as he approached the inner room.
"Plug your ears, everyone. Anyone who dares to eavesdrop will be in big trouble," Shangguan Jin said, adding the same thing.
Dongmai hummed in agreement, then plugged her ears with her fingers and sat far away from the inner room.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhong had no choice but to follow suit.
Shen Zhong felt a little wronged.
After a long journey, without even a hot meal along the way, we finally got back, but we had to sneak around.
That Duke is really despicable.
Knowing that he hasn't seen his wife for three years, he must miss her.
But can't we settle him down first before getting intimate with the lady?
You can't even wait a few words? You dragged your wife into the inner room? Don't you care about propriety at all...?
"Don't look around, or I'll gouge your eyes out."
Seeing that Shen Zhong was still looking towards the inner room, Dongmai immediately spoke up.
But Shen Zhong couldn't hear anything even with his ears plugged!
Dongmai thought for a moment, then hurriedly went over and kicked him.
"If you dare look again, I'll gouge your eyes out," Dongmai threatened.
When Shen Zhong saw Dongmai kick him, and then saw Dongmai move her mouth and look towards the inner room, he understood what Dongmai was saying.
Aunt Dong has a bad temper; even the Duke and his wife have to give way to her. It's better for him to avoid her.
So Shen Zhong quickly moved to the farthest corner of the inner room and deliberately turned his back to the door of the inner room.
Only then was the winter wheat satisfied and moved to another corner.
Throughout the entire process, both of them kept their ears plugged.
Meanwhile, after Shangguan Jin was pulled into the inner room by Shen Huaichen, she found that the inner room was a bit messy.
The bed frame of her favorite thousand-craft canopy bed, where she had been resting, had been lifted up.
Looking down through the lifted bed board, a passageway was revealed.
"this......"
If it were a domestic power struggle, and a large group of people saw this, Shangguan Jin felt she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
Isn't it said that in wealthy and powerful families, the secret passages are all in places like the study?
How could it be under the lady of the house's bed!
Shangguan Jin swore that the Shangguan Jin of the past definitely didn't know about this secret place.
"I dug it! Uh, no, it was dug by the former Duke of Dingguo," Shen Huaichen said in a low voice.
Shangguan Jin was speechless.
What kind of person was the former Duke of Dingguo?
Digging a tunnel in his wife's private quarters? And without letting his wife know?
Soon, Shangguan Jin realized what was happening again.
This guy just mentioned the former Duke of Dingguo? Does that mean the current one isn't the original one?
"Who are you?" Shangguan Jin asked in a low voice.
Shen Huaichen looked at Shangguan Jin, who was wary. Although he was already 80% sure, he was still 20% uncertain.
“Um… odd changes, even remains the same,” Shen Huaichen blurted out.
Shangguan Jin...
"Never heard of this one? How about this one? Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger?" Shen Huaichen quickly changed to another one.
"The sign indicates the quadrant, and the pagoda suppresses the river demon!" Shangguan Jin said through gritted teeth.
Shen Huaichen's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Shangguan Jin's hand almost without thinking.
"Comrade, I've finally found you!"
Shangguan Jin...
