Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Affair.
Zhu Yinluan paused and at first thought she had misheard. She looked up at Mingya with confusion in her eyes.
The other party obviously also realized that mentioning this person's name was very inappropriate.
Mingya avoided her gaze and was a little slower in brushing her hair.
Zhu Yinluan was still looking at Mingya.
She couldn't help but wonder if she and Shen Jingzhan had been too close and it was no longer appropriate now.
Otherwise, why would Ming Ya ask her to ask Shen Jingzhan for help?
Zhu Yinluan was silent for a while. Mingya was frightened by her look. She changed a handkerchief to wipe her hair and explained, "The reason why I said this is because Master Shen is a very good person. Maybe he will help Miss?"
"Your life in the Wei family is getting harder and harder. If you can get some help from Master Shen, you will feel more relaxed."
Zhu Yinluan laughed at herself, "I have never met him before, and I have only met him by chance a few times. Why should I ask him for help? Besides, if it really comes to that, how could he possibly help me?"
"Why not help you?" Ming Ya disagreed, "I think Master Shen..."
Zhu Yinluan raised his eyes again and looked at her steadily.
Ming Ya had been with her for many years, so she naturally knew what she was worried about. She quickly explained that it was not a misunderstanding between them, but, "I think Master Shen is a good person. He saw that the young lady was in trouble, maybe..."
"I'm not in poverty." Zhu Yinluan shook her head. She disagreed with Mingya's statement.
She has no worries about food and clothing, it's just that her mother-in-law and husband don't like her. How can she be considered poor?
Mingya wanted to continue explaining, but Zhu Yinluan told her to stop.
"Prince Shen won't help me. This is a top priority for the court. How could he be biased..."
Partiality?
When the word "private" at the end popped up in her mind, Zhu Yinluan's heart skipped a beat.
What's private? A private affair?
Thinking of this, she suddenly came back to her senses. She would still have to avoid Shen Jingzhan when she saw him in the future and not run into him again. Now that Ming Ya was thinking this way, if others knew about it, there was no guarantee what would happen.
By then, the reputation of both of them will be ruined, and they won’t be able to wash it off even if they jump into the river.
"Anyway, don't mention this matter again."
"Yes..." Seeing that her face was not good, Mingya stopped talking awkwardly and did not dare to continue.
Zhu Yinluan thought about it and decided to ask where Wei Ruzhuo was going to rest today.
He glanced at her and didn't answer directly, but said, "You go to sleep first."
In this case, Zhu Yinluan could only go and rest.
She lay down for a long time but couldn't fall asleep. She felt empty inside and had no intention of resting, but she had to close her eyes and rest.
Zhu Yinluan knew very well that her eldest sister's visit to the Wei family was definitely not for good reasons.
Before, she was thinking that after Fang Zhongyue gave birth to a child, she would raise the child well and then live on like this.
But who knew that something unexpected happened to the Luo family, and the eldest sister actually divorced. Not only did she divorce, but she even came to the Wei family. Zhu Yinluan recalled the scene today, and she was afraid that in the future...
I just don’t know whether this was the idea of my eldest sister, my father, my stepmother, or Wei Ruzhuo.
In short, she was nervous and confused, not knowing what to do next.
If the eldest sister wants to marry into the Wei family, what should she do?
The eldest sister is proud and arrogant. Will she become a concubine in the Wei family?
Zhu Yinluan was thinking about all sorts of things when she suddenly heard footsteps. It was Wei Ruzhuo coming over.
He didn't go to the East Courtyard to find Fang Zhongyue, but came to rest with her instead?
What if Wei Ruzhuo wants to sleep with her later?
Zhu Yinluan found that even in such an urgent situation, being forced by her elder sister, she still didn't want to share a room with Wei Ruzhuo.
Right now she has only one way to go, and that is to have a child of her own as soon as possible. No matter it is a boy or a girl, at least she can have a firm foothold in the Wei family.
But...using children to consolidate your position?
Just because Wei Ruzhuo doesn't like her, does that mean he would like the child she gave birth to?
She had had enough of being belittled and ignored since she was a child, and she didn't want her children to follow in their footsteps.
But more importantly, she just didn't want to sleep with Wei Ruzhuo anymore, ever since he took Fang Zhongyue in...
She couldn't even be magnanimous.
After Wei Ruzhuo lay down, Zhu Yinluan became much more nervous.
She had already made up her mind that if he wanted to have sex with her, she would use the excuse of not feeling well. After all, she had been taking the medicine given by Jiaohui these days, and he could see that she didn't look well.
However, after waiting for a long time, she had already felt Wei Ruzhuo's gaze, but did not notice his next move, which was to have sex with her.
Wei Ruzhuo doesn't want to sleep with her, right?
Since you don't want to sleep with her, why are you staying here? Are you worried that if you go to find Fang Zhongyue, your elder sister who is visiting today will find out and therefore cancel the appointment?
Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but wonder in her heart what was going on.
But she had no idea that while she was waiting for Wei Ruzhuo to speak, Wei Ruzhuo was also waiting for her to speak.
He was promoted recently and everyone praised him except Zhu Yinluan.
No, there are, but they are just a few sentences.
It's really nothing.
Seeing that she looked unhappy today, Wei Ruzhuo guessed that she was worried about Zhu Chentan's visit.
I also want to know, when it's late at night and they are alone, will Zhu Yinluan say something to him?
He guessed that it was most likely flattering words to coax his husband not to forget her after his promotion.
Wei Ruzhuo discovered that even though it was flattering words, he had heard them many times recently, but he was still looking forward to what Zhu Yinluan would say to him.
If she used some tricks again, like Fang Zhongyue sent someone to invite him to rest in the East Courtyard...
Thinking of this, Wei Ruzhuo found himself actually a little excited.
He actually didn't dislike Zhu Yinluan's flattery? Instead, he was secretly looking forward to it?
He hadn't slept in the same room with Zhu Chentan for a long time. He thought of her back as she came to the study just now to tell him that it was getting late and he should go to bed early and left.
Under her moon-white undergarment, her black hair that reached down to her waist swayed slightly.
When she walked, he could see her slender waist outlined by her steps in the wind. It was so slender that it could be pinched with one hand. It reminded him of the delicate touch of Zhu Yinluan's waist and her blooming appearance.
But he waited for a long time and there was no movement from the people around him.
Not a word.
She clearly hasn't rested yet.
Wei Ruzhuo, who had been left out for a long time, couldn't help but ask her directly, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"
When he said this, his voice exuded a strong sense of displeasure.
He also wanted to let Zhu Yinluan know that he was in a bad mood. If she was more sensible, she should coax him and please him.
But Zhu Yinluan didn’t.
She asked back, "What did my husband say?" Her soft voice was filled with confusion.
At this moment, Wei Ruzhuo's expectations and interest were extinguished by her naivety, and only anger was burning instead.
He came back to his senses in an instant. What on earth was he expecting?
Zhu Yinluan is just a wooden beauty. She is timid and dull. Does she understand the fun of love?
He had no interest in having sex with her. She couldn't afford to play with other people and always hid away, which hurt him, so...what was he still thinking about?
It's crazy.
"Nothing!" Wei Ruzhuo said this and turned his back.
After a while, I really didn't want to stay in the same bed with her, so I got up and left.
Mingya ran in hurriedly and asked Zhu Yinluan what was wrong?
She stood up and sat down, looking at the direction where Wei Ruzhuo left and shook her head, "Nothing."
She was so scared just now, and thought that Wei Ruzhuo knew that Shen Jingzhan had met her and gave her ambergris and cakes, but she didn't expect it wasn't...
If it was true, Wei Ruzhuo would definitely not walk away in anger, but would scold her to behave herself, stay out of public, and not even think about having any relationship with that gifted boy. She should stick to her duties and not ruin the reputation of the Wei family.
Since Wei Ruzhuo didn't say anything, it meant that it was not this matter. After sleeping in the same bed with him for several years, she had some understanding of Wei Ruzhuo.
Since it wasn't this matter, Zhu Yinluan couldn't think of what it was.
"Miss, would you like me to go and invite the son-in-law back?"
Zhu Yinluan shook her head, "No need." She lay down with her back turned, curled up into a small ball, looking very petite and pitiful.
Wei Ruzhuo turned away and left the East Courtyard.
Fang Zhongyue was overjoyed to greet him and coax him.
Although it was not Zhu Yinluan's coaxing that Wei Ruzhuo wanted, he had to admit that he was very happy after hearing so much flattery, no matter who said it.
He did it with Fang Zhongyue that night.
Late at night, after Wei Ruzhuo rested, a small flying bird landed on the edge of the window.
When Fang Zhongyue heard the noise, she opened her eyes instantly and stood up to drink tea. She walked to the window with the teacup in her hand, tied something that had been prepared long ago to the bird's feet, and then let it fly away.
After circling around the capital for a few times, the bird landed in the inner courtyard of the Shen family.
The attendant took it off and looked at it, then went in to deliver a message to Shen Jingzhan.
The man couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, "It seems that Wei Ruzhuo is even more vain than I thought."
Divorce? I'm afraid it won't be until the end of spring.
"He is greedy for power, and you have planned everything carefully, so there will be no mistakes."
Shen Jingzhan said calmly, "Keep a closer eye on it."
"yes……"
Zhu Yinluan had an unpleasant argument with Wei Ruzhuo last night, and the news soon reached Pang Shi's ears.
Zhu Chentan came to pay his respects to Pang Shi early in the morning, so he naturally heard it.
She said, "Is there some misunderstanding here? Could it be because Chen Tan came to the Wei family..."
Pang Shi now liked Zhu Chentan and patted her hands, "It's none of your business. It's just that Zhu Yinluan doesn't know how to serve others."
"Call her over later." Madam Pang instructed Mother Yun.
Before breakfast arrived, Pang called Zhu Yinluan over and scolded her harshly.
"Do you know how to serve others?" Pang Shi asked.
"Zhuo'er works hard all day long, running around, and you can't even comfort him?"
Zhu Yinluan said, "I don't know what my daughter-in-law did wrong."
"have no idea?"
Pang Shi chuckled and looked down at her, "I think you are not worthy of being Madam Wei anymore."
