Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Ridiculous kiss in a dream.
I don’t know if it was the two little maids, Mingya and Jiaohui, who mentioned it in front of her bed before she went to bed.
At night, she actually started dreaming again. This was also an extremely weird dream. She dreamed that she was talking and laughing with another man.
I couldn’t see the man’s face clearly in the dream, but judging from his tall and broad figure... he seemed to be the man from my last dream.
In the dream, she was talking to him, her brows relaxed and without any defense.
The two of them were standing by the stream, seemingly picking vegetables? But she wasn't the one washing them, he was, and she was directing him, teaching him how to wash them.
He didn't let her touch the water, and listened to her instructions carefully, very seriously, without any impatience.
After a while, they finished washing. He folded her clothes and took her back, and helped her wring out the sleeves that were accidentally stained with water.
She walked side by side with him, and after taking two steps, she raised her hand and asked him to lower his head.
He clearly didn't understand what she said, but he still bent down obediently. Then she took out a flower stamen from the jade crown that bound his hair. It was unknown when it fell. The two of them walked further and further away from each other...
Zhu Yinluan was still a little dazed when she woke up. Why did she have such a dream again?
Could it be that she really wanted to divorce? That was why she dreamed of a man who was not Wei Ruzhuo?
But if that was the case, why would it be the man from last time? She pinched her aching brows.
Ming Ya heard the noise, lifted the curtain, and whispered, "Miss, it's still early, do you want to rest for a while?"
Zhu Yinluan asked her what time it was? When she found out it was only midnight, she lay down again.
I thought she would not feel sleepy at all, but unexpectedly she fell asleep again.
This time she had an even more rare and absurd dream.
In the dead of night, the brocade quilt flutters.
She was chased and kissed by a tall man whose face she couldn't see clearly. She tried to hide from him, but he held her waist and wouldn't let her run away.
This time, Zhu Yinluan heard the man's voice.
But the voice was so deep and hoarse that her senses were dulled and her breathing was difficult. She couldn't tell clearly, no, she couldn't tell whose voice it was.
The man kissed her cheek and ears, telling her not to be afraid and not to hide, and said he would be gentler.
The second half of the dream was almost uncontrollable. The more he tried to comfort her, the more she avoided him and became afraid. She shrank back...
But he held her tightly, and she couldn't escape the heat and burning of his palm...
"Miss...Miss! What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Yinluan was suddenly awakened by Mingya's call and opened her eyes in an instant.
She sat up suddenly and noticed that the bedding was kicked into a mess by her and piled up at the end of the bed, with some even falling to the ground.
"Miss, are you having a nightmare?" Mingya wrung out a handkerchief to wipe her face, and Jiaohui brought her a cup of soothing tea.
Zhu Yinluan was speechless for a long time, she didn't know what to say.
How else can I say this?
This is an absurd nightmare. Why would I have such a dream...
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhu Yinluan felt better. Holding the teacup in both hands, she said, "Yes... I did have a nightmare."
In the dream, she actually became intimate with another man.
That person is not Wei Ruzhuo.
How could she!
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
It must be because Pang Shi always mentioned children these days, and in order to have children, one must do things like this. In addition, Pang Shi also asked her to arrange for Wei Ruzhuo to find a wife, and the maids mentioned divorce before she went to bed.
Whatever you think about during the day, you will dream about at night, that's why it is like this.
"Don't be afraid, miss. It's all just a dream." Mingya saw that she was very scared, so he patted her back and comforted her.
"Yes...you're right, it was just a dream."
How could she have had any man other than Wei Ruzhuo? Before, when she was in Zhu Mansion, she had basically never met any other man. How could she be involved with someone else and do something intimate with him?
This is just a dream.
But this dream was too real.
Especially when he sank in and pinched her waist, that sudden and sudden feeling of reality was more frightening than Wei Ruzhuo.
Although he was afraid, he was relaxed and did not feel as much pain and discomfort as Wei Ruzhuo.
Realizing what she was recalling, Zhu Yinluan quickly shook off the thoughts in her mind.
She drank the remaining half cup of tea, "..."
Because of last night's dream, she thought about Pang Shi's instructions for her to move into the new room. She didn't feel that bad, but just felt bored and tired.
First, he found the little maid and interrogated her, saying that her mother-in-law wanted her to be a housewife to expand the family, and asked her if she was willing.
Fang Zhongyue knelt on the ground shyly and said a few nice words, "Since I was sold to the Wei family, the mistress and the master have been very kind. If I can help the Wei family to expand, it will be a blessing for me."
Zhu Yinluan looked at her hair for a while and nodded, "Since you are willing, I will arrange it today."
"There are many empty yards at home. Do you like any of them?" she asked.
Even though she is a concubine, she has not been properly taken into the house yet, so how can she reach the stage of choosing a room?
Fang Zhongyue said the same thing, "I will leave it to the young lady to decide."
"Then I'll have someone clean up the east yard. It's quiet and not remote, so it's a good place to live."
"Thank you, young lady."
Mingya took people to clean up, and Zhu Yinluan went over to take an inventory.
Ming Ya was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she coaxed her, "Miss, why did you have to come here in person? Are you still worried about the servants doing their work?"
Zhu Yinluan's voice was as gentle as ever, and there was no question in her voice. "Since it's my mother-in-law's order, it would be unreasonable for me not to come and take a look."
There were Pang Shi's people in the yard, and Pang Shi knew everything she did.
If she slacked off in the slightest, Pang would probably accuse her of being arrogant and intolerant.
At night, Wei Ruzhuo was invited back.
He had not originally planned to come back, but his family had already prepared everything and he was afraid of delaying him. Zhu Yinluan thought about it and decided to ask someone to inquire about his whereabouts and asked him to come back for dinner if he was not busy with official duties.
Yesterday's meeting ended in a bad mood and Wei Ruzhuo was not in a good mood.
Compared to his displeasure, Zhu Yinluan's expression could be considered normal.
When he returned home, he noticed the renovated East Courtyard and was silent for a moment.
Halfway through the meal, Wei Ruzhuo suddenly asked her, "Have you made up your mind?"
Zhu Yinluan looked at his cold expression, "..."
I wanted to ask her back, does she have a choice?
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Besides, what is the point of saying it?
Wei Ruzhuo was so busy with his official duties that he had no idea how difficult it was for her facing Pang Shi in the backyard.
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Wei Ruzhuo looked at her coldly for a while, decided not to eat, and got up and left.
Looking at the direction he disappeared, it was the East Courtyard.
Ming Ya couldn't help but say one more sentence, "Miss, you obviously don't want to help your son-in-law to get a room, why don't you take this opportunity to explain your grievances."
"He won't stand on my side." She knew very well that she was not that important in Wei Ruzhuo's heart.
Especially when facing Ponzi, he will not choose himself.
In all these years, has he ever stood up for her grievances or responded to Pang Shi's words?
No.
Even though we had been on good terms in the past few years, he only said, "After my father was exiled to a remote place, it was not easy for my mother to take care of me and my two sisters alone in Beijing. She is not in good health, so you have to bear with her."
Because of Wei Ruzhuo's words, she had been bearing this burden for many years.
The more Zhu Yinluan thought about it, the emptier her heart felt, and the more confused she felt.
Wei Ruzhuo has taken in a room today. If the maid gets pregnant and gives birth to a baby, should she keep the baby with her?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yinluan realized that she seemed to have become a stepmother.
Wei Ruzhuo left and never returned. Zhu Yinluan stayed awake all night. She heard the maid from the east courtyard prepare some water and bring it in.
Afraid that Mingya would worry, she didn't sleep or make any noise, but just dozed with her eyes closed. The past between her and Wei Ruzhuo flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope. Apart from the tiredness from being busy, only the dullness remained.
After this year, it will be the fourth year, right?
The next day, Fang Zhongyue wanted to offer tea to Zhu Yinluan.
During this time, Wei Ruzhuo kept watching her reaction. He found that Zhu Yinluan was as dull as he had imagined, and found it very boring.
She was always like this, what was he expecting?
Besides, isn't this a good thing? If Zhu Yinluan made a scene, the situation would be embarrassing and difficult to resolve. Although Zhu Yinluan was boring, she was very virtuous and knew when to advance and when to retreat, so she wouldn't make a scene.
"This is a gift for you. From now on, you and I will be like sisters. You must serve your husband well and give birth to an heir for the Wei family as soon as possible."
"Zhongyue is grateful for the young lady's attention and care. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Yeah." Zhu Yinluan smiled.
After giving the gift, she looked at Wei Ruzhuo, but he didn't look at her. He just gave instructions to Fang Zhongyue, his voice unusually gentle.
Zhu Yinluan had heard such gentleness more often in the past two years. He had been very cold towards her in recent years.
Listening to his concern again now, she felt as if she were in another world. She could not avoid the bitterness and grievance, but she could still bear it. After all, she had become accustomed to it.
"My knees hurt after kneeling for so long." Wei Ruzhuo asked her to stand up. Fang Zhongyue's face turned red with shyness.
Zhu Yinluan saw it but pretended not to see it.
She lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts and forced herself not to show any movement.
Naturally, he didn't notice Wei Ruzhuo's glance at him.
“…”
Pang was very satisfied when she heard about the things in the East Courtyard. Her expression towards Zhu Yinluan was much better today. She also sent a gift to Fang Zhongyue and her instructions were almost the same as what Zhu Yinluan had said.
Wei Ruzhuo left home to do some work, and Zhu Yinluan took Fang Zhongyue away.
Fang Zhongyue still wanted to serve her, but Zhu Yinluan asked her to go and rest.
"Miss, why don't you keep her by your side and set some rules for yourself, just like how your madam disciplined you before... You are so easy to talk to, aren't you afraid that she will take advantage of your favor and get on your good side?" Ming Ya reminded.
"It's not necessary." Zhu Yinluan said softly.
When she first got married, Pang Shi set rules for her for several days. Thinking back on it, she felt tired.
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. "She and I are both women, why should we make things difficult for each other?"
"You have a good temper. I'm afraid you'll be bullied." Ming Ya was worried. "This little maid is restless."
"If that day really comes, we'll just fight it out." Having said that.
Although Fang Zhongyue wanted to climb up the social ladder, Zhu Yinluan always felt that Fang Zhongyue still respected and feared her.
She was not like the concubines seen in the Zhu family, who were always thinking of offending the mistress and trying their best to replace her.
This feeling was very strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
