They have already seen the Elk Doctor.
There is no cure for Gu.
But Shen Yuanshuo didn't believe it. On his way back, he was as heavy as water, his aura so cold that it looked like ice chips were falling off, and his dark and deep eyes were filled with violent storms.
Thinking that he was afraid, Lu Zhi hesitated and reached out to lightly hold his big hand, twisting it around his fingertips and comforting him: "There will always be a way."
It’s not that she is too conceited. There is always a voice in her heart telling her that she cannot and should not die at the hands of a tiny poisonous insect.
Since she can't do it, then Shen Yuanshuo, who is more powerful than her, naturally can't do it either.
The girl's voice was gentle and melodious, as soft as a feather patiently stroking the top of his cold head. Shen Yuanshuo pursed his lips and raised them slightly, and the storm that had gathered in his brows disappeared instantly.
"Azhi," he lowered his voice deliberately, making himself look pitiful, "I'm in pain."
Even though he knew he might be pretending, Lu Zhi still patted the back of his hand gently.
Chen Yuanshuo was a man who was used to following the crowd, so he opened his five fingers and interlocked them with hers.
...
...
The warm palm touches the slightly cool palm tightly, fitting perfectly.
The man's drooping eyes looked a little innocent, and his beautiful eyes, sparkling with water, stared at her without blinking. When she raised her eyes to look at him, he quietly shook their tightly connected hands.
Silently acting coquettishly.
Lu Zhi put on a calm and serious attitude, tilted his head, lifted the curtain of the carriage with his free hand, and looked out at the street outside the carriage.
Shen Yuanshuo glanced at the girl's ear tips which were stained slightly red and chuckled silently.
Suddenly, the redness on Lu Zhi's cheeks faded, and she stared with wide eyes at the two figures that flashed by in the dark alley.
Sensing her surprise and distraction, Shen Yuanshuo quietly pressed against her back, wrapped his arms around her, and asked with lowered eyes, "What's wrong?"
Awakened by his question, Lu Zhi hurriedly withdrew her gaze and let down the lifted curtain.
The next second after she lowered the curtain, a pair of eyes slowly emerged from the originally gloomy alley.
What kind of eyes were those—hatred, disgust, resentment and other negative emotions gathered together, overflowing with evil spirit.
Looking closely at his features, I felt a little familiar...
The illusion of being spied on was too strong, Lu Zhi raised her hand to cover Shen Yuanshuo's moving lips, and leaned lightly in his arms.
Shen Yuanshuo was suddenly thrown into the arms of his young wife. Although he was stunned by the sudden surprise, he did not forget Lu Zhi's abnormality.
His eyes contained indulgence and helplessness, and Lu Zhi blushed in embarrassment.
"A Shuo," her voice was deliberately sweet, like honey and arsenic, "Please stop by Zhen Yu Tang in front and buy some cakes for Dad and Mom."
Lu Zhi let go of his hand only after making sure that Shen Yuanshuo would not say anything nonsense.
As soon as she let go of her hand, her fingers were held in Shen Yuanshuo's mouth.
He responded evasively: "Okay."
The dangerous gaze, like a maggot clinging to one's bones, was fixed on the newlyweds. Even after the carriage stopped, they still did not disappear as they stood in front of Zhenyu Hall.
There were many people, many eyes, and a lot of noise. Taking this opportunity, Lu Zhi and Shen Yuanshuo looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Who are these people and why are they following them?
Inexplicably, Lu Zhi's eyes reappeared the scene he had seen not long ago, and he had a vague sense of horror in his heart.
Now is not the time to have a conversation. Lu Zhi is afraid of alerting the enemy. Even a rabbit will bite if it is cornered. Don't let your throat be slit as soon as you open your mouth.
They were like an ordinary couple, walking around the pastry room, picking out a few items that Lu Zhi and Mrs. Shen liked and packing them up to take back.
Back on the carriage, the stable carriage was moving a little slowly at this moment, as if it was dragging a heavy object of thousands of pounds, and the horse was so tired that it kept sticking out its tongue.
The driver sitting outside received the master's secret message and turned a blind eye to all the abnormalities. He only muttered quietly: "The horse is old, it's time to change it to a strong black horse."
At this moment, a piece of meat patty was crawling on the roof of the carriage with its ears pressed against it motionlessly. People from a distance did not notice anything unusual.
The carriage was warm and cozy. The man listened quietly for a while before indifferently moving his limbs that had shrunk into a ball of flesh. His limbs quickly touched the ground and jumped. In a few breaths, he flew into the dark alley and disappeared.
Passersby only felt a flash before their eyes, and a cold wind blew in their faces.
They muttered that the wind was starting to blow and hurried home.
The gaze that was like a maggot attached to the bone disappeared. Lu Zhi slowed down her breathing and waited for a while before loosening her arms that were leaning on Shen Yuanshuo.
"...I can fight him too."
The man's unfair words floated in the quiet air. Lu Zhi didn't think too much about it at first, but now he felt a little amused when hearing his angry words.
She tried to persuade him with kind words for a long time before she heard Shen Yuanshuo's reluctant hum.
"What happened just now?" He leaned close to her sensitive ear and asked softly, as if he was afraid that the man had not gone far.
The warm air flow hits the earlobe, emitting an even more attractive red color, meandering all the way to the straight collarbone and disappearing into the fur collar.
Lu Zhi kept retreating, and the people in front of her kept pressing on. She had no choice but to spread her hands and said, "Don't get so close when we're talking about business."
"I'm just afraid that the walls may have ears."
Ignoring his coquetry, Lu Zhi said with a serious face: "I saw the figures of your father and my father."
Hearing this, Shen Yuanshuo paused in rubbing her head.
He held up the little girl's face, his eyes narrowed slightly and a sharp look appeared in his eyes for no reason: "Are you serious?"
Seeing Lu Zhi nod, a dark light flashed in Shen Yuanshuo's narrowed eyes.
Everything that had happened in recent days was laid out before his eyes, and nothing could hide.
Recalling the day when he came out of Madam Shen's room and saw Mr. Shen's stiff and quick walking posture and the hypocritical concern in his eyes, the smile on Shen Yuanshuo's lips became colder and colder.
Lu Zhi: "I suspect there is something wrong between my father and your father."
Shen Yuanshuo: "You suspect there is something wrong between your father and my father."
"Did you see anything else?" He couldn't think of what the two of them could be plotting in the alley. They couldn't have kept a mistress together, could they?
Lu Zhi shook his head and explained, "I was worried and hurriedly lowered the curtain. Later, I was secretly monitored for unknown reasons."
As a result, the behavior of Mr. Shen and Mr. Lu inevitably became strange.
In broad daylight, why would you go to a dark alley with few people to make a deal?
Furthermore, do Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Lu know this? If so, how long have they been doing this?
Countless questions bombarded the two of them.
Maybe everything will clear up when I get back.
Fortunately, Lu Zhi still remembered the location of the dark alley. Chen Yuanshuo bent his fingers and knocked on the small table, intending to let his men go and explore first.
When Shen Yuanshuo returned to the Shen Mansion, as soon as his feet touched the ground, the waiting servant came forward and said, "Second Young Master, the master wants you to go to his study."
Lu Zhi looked at him inconspicuously and then looked away. After he responded, he carefully reminded Lu Zhi that she didn't need to wait for him to come back for dinner.
After returning to the courtyard, Lu Zhi didn't have much time to spare. Madam Shen called her over again, saying that she had something to tell her.
Before going out, Lu Zhi called one of the maids beside her and asked her to wait in Master Shen's courtyard, and when Shen Yuanshuo came out, she told him that she had been called away by Madam Shen.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been an unsolvable problem, which gives Lu Zhi more headaches than the pedantic Four Books and Five Classics.
Unexpectedly, the person who actually called her over was not Mrs. Shen, but Mr. Shen who should not be here.
"Good day, Dad," Lu Zhi bowed obediently, hiding the surprise that flashed across his eyes.
