The good relationship between Liang Shaozun and Cheng Muyun may not be because they are in cahoots, but may also be because of Cheng Wenyun.
Liang Shaozun studied at the Cheng family's private school since he was a child. Cheng Wenyun was the only girl in his life, so it's not surprising that he would like her.
However, there is no historical record of Cheng Wenyun, nor is it said that Liang Shaozun married Cheng Muyun's sister.
Otherwise, those who write unofficial histories would certainly not let it go, and would write that Liang Shaozun and Cheng Muyun were disgusting "relatives" who colluded in evil deeds.
They would also write that people who are not from the same family cannot enter the same door.
And so on.
Looking at the shy Cheng Wenyun, Xu Zhuohua felt a mischievous urge. "Wenyun, do you like Liang Shaozun?"
Cheng Wenyun's amber eyes, which looked just like Cheng Muyun's, instantly turned panicked. "Sister Zhuohua, you...you can't say it, Grandfather will be unhappy."
"If it's Mrs. Cheng who's unhappy, why is it Old Master Cheng who's unhappy?" Xu Zhuohua couldn't understand. "Why?"
"Grandfather said that Brother Shaozun is not steady enough." The girl's budding feelings were immediately apparent.
Liang Shaozun was indeed quite unreliable, frivolous, and immoral; he was no good husband. It's good that he's dead, so Cheng Wenyun won't jump into a fire pit.
"Did you see Liang Shaozun outside just now? Didn't you notice any changes?"
Cheng Wenyun rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes flashing with timidity. "Grandfather was holding my hand, and I didn't dare to look at Brother Shaozun."
Xu Zhuohua cried out in her heart, "Wake up, silly sister! Liang Shaozun is a scoundrel, and he's already dead!"
The young girl was still lost in her romantic feelings, and Xu Zhuohua didn't know how to advise Cheng Wenyun to let go of her attachments. She also felt that the current Liang Shaozun had been replaced by someone else and was not the real person, so he probably wouldn't have any designs on Cheng Wenyun anymore.
"Hmm..." Xu Zhuohua didn't know what to say, and could only sigh that Cheng Wenyun had been so innocently protected by her family.
After talking with her, Xu Zhuohua discovered that Cheng Wenyun was not at all like she seemed; she was very feudal!
It's unclear how the Cheng family raised her, but Cheng Wenyun felt that even holding hands with a man was a sin, and that her parents' wishes were of paramount importance.
"No, now everyone can live for themselves."
Cheng Wenyun covered her mouth. "So that's why you did that kind of thing at the ball?"
Xu Zhuohua was speechless. "Didn't I dance well?"
The girl was easily embarrassed; just thinking about Xu Zhuohua's explicit dance made her blush. "I can't accept it."
This kind of feudal thinking cannot be changed overnight, so Xu Zhuohua was not angry. Instead, she patiently said, "The outside world is full of colorful things. I am not even a little finger. You will see when you see it. I guarantee you will be amazed."
The girl's face was full of anticipation. "No wonder Mother said that Sister Zhuohua has seen the world. You speak differently from others."
Stop, stop! It feels really strange that Madam Cheng is saying good things about Cheng Wenjun.
"Did Mrs. Cheng praise me in front of you?" Xu Zhuohua asked.
Cheng Wenyun said, "Mother said you are very flamboyant, better than me."
Xu Zhuohua frowned. Perhaps Cheng Wenjun didn't understand the meaning behind Madam Cheng's words. To say that she was flamboyant was to say that she was dissolute.
I don't think it's a good word.
There was a knock on the door, and Cheng Muyun's voice rang out, "Wenyun, are you in there?"
Cheng Wenyun got up to open the door, and Cheng Muyun walked in. "The rain outside has stopped."
Indeed, there was no pattering rain, only a refreshing...?
Xu Zhuohua shook her head. She no longer believed she could change Cheng Muyun. Regardless of whether Liang Shaozun outside was real or fake, he could potentially lead Cheng Muyun astray.
Everyone knows that it is extremely difficult to be a good person, but it is only a matter of a single thought to be a bad person.
"The banquet is almost over, let me see you out."
Xu Zhuohua nodded. She had long wanted to leave this place; it always felt eerie.
Cheng Muyun took Xu Zhuohua's wrist naturally, and Xu Zhuohua herself did not feel anything was wrong.
Cheng Wenyun covered her mouth in surprise, "Why are you two so intimate?"
Xu Zhuohua glanced at it; Cheng Muyun's hand was still separated by a layer of clothing. This wasn't considered intimate, was it?
Cheng Muyun grasped her slender wrist tightly. "Well? We're engaged."
The two turned and walked out, leaving Cheng Wenjun standing there, stunned.
When Xu Zhuohua saw Liang Shaozun at the door, she was startled even though she was mentally prepared.
Cheng Muyun noticed the person next to him trembling and gently patted her back, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
How could you not be afraid? A person who died in front of you is now standing alive in front of you; it would be strange not to be afraid.
The guests witnessed the couple's intimate actions and began to gossip.
Luo Yunqiao left with a displeased expression.
Xu Zhuohua didn't remember a single word Cheng Muyun said afterward.
Because Xu Zhuohua had a persistent high fever for fifteen days.
For those two weeks, everyone thought Xu Zhuohua wouldn't make it, and even Luo Yunqiao went to the hospital to see her twice.
Xu Zhuohua also thought that she was going to return to her original world, after all, she had died of a high fever last time.
As for why the high fever wouldn't go down, Xu Zhuohua thought it was due to the stimulation of alternating heat and cold.
However, the First Madam firmly believed that Xu Zhuohua was possessed by a ghost and wanted to send Xu Zhuohua back to the nunnery of Huian Temple in Dongzhou, but Cheng Muyun rejected her request.
Xu Zhuohua has no recollection of what happened during that time.
So when he found out that the fake Liang Shaozun had become Cheng Muyun's good friend, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
History cannot be changed.
Even if you change something, it will definitely correct it in another way.
