Chapter 37 Chapter 37 The wedding night.
I know Zhu Yinluan is thin-skinned.
Shi Congwei deliberately sighed, "Oh, mother is right, it's true that when a girl grows up, she should not be kept!"
"You haven't even gotten married yet, but you're already feeling sorry for cousin Zhan." After saying this, she pretended to wipe away her tears.
Although Zhu Yinluan knew that Shi Congwei was pretending to cry, she still couldn't help but become nervous, because everyone in the Shi family was very kind to her and she didn't want anyone in the Shi family to show any sadness.
I quickly explained, "I'm not... I just can't bear to leave my sisters..."
"I just can't bear to leave my sister, but what about my brother, mother, and father? Can you bear to leave them?" Shi Congwei was still teasing her.
"Of course I'm reluctant to do that."
Seeing the girl in red with a serious face and nodding solemnly, she looked like a kitten, pretty and cute.
Shi Congwei couldn't help laughing, "Sister Luan'er, I was just teasing you, look how scared you are. Why are you still so timid? I'm really worried that you will be bullied by the Shen family and your cousin Zhan."
The first sentence is quite decent, but the second sentence is...
They were all married girls, so even if Shi Congwei didn't make any faces, Zhu Yinluan knew what Shi Congwei was hinting at.
Even though her relationship with Shen Jingzhan was fake and they didn't consummate their marriage, and all this was just a formality, when she talked about those things, her expression still emerged unnatural, "Sister Congwei, you... don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't say anything nonsense, what are you thinking about, sister Luan'er?"
Zhu Yinluan turned her eyes away, and when she moved, the entire tail of the phoenix crown trembled as well.
Her face was so red that the tips of her ears, which were not covered with makeup, were almost stained.
She looks extremely timid, pitiful and soft.
Shi Congwei wanted to pinch her face, but was afraid of dirtying her makeup, so she stopped teasing her and just talked to her about some private matters between girls and told her not to be nervous.
But over here in front, the Shi family’s house was crowded with people.
It was more lively than the previous weddings of daughters, because today was the day that Master Shen got married.
Even though it was lively, everything was in good order, without excessive noise or uncontrollable chaos.
Zhu Chentan also got up early today and asked the maid to dress her up. She changed into the most expensive dress in her box, put on the best head ornaments, and also specially fixed her hair and makeup and tried several colors of lip balm.
She thought she had dressed herself up so gorgeously that even the servants in the house could not help but secretly look at her.
But when she left the house and saw Wei Ruzhuo who came to pick her up, Zhu Chentan found that he was not only indifferent, but also seemed absent-minded. She didn't know what he was thinking about. He didn't notice her dazzling appearance today at all. Not only did he not look at her much, he didn't even praise her a word.
I thought Wei Ruzhuo was also nervous, but unexpectedly, Wei Ruzhuo was not nervous at all, but clearly did not care, because the carriage had gone most of the way and was about to reach the south of Beijing, but he was still in deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Zhu Chentan was very dissatisfied and called his name.
He came back to his senses and asked her what was wrong?
"What's wrong with me? Is it you who's wrong?" Zhu Chentan was annoyed, turned his face away and snorted.
Wei Ruzhuo was given a cold shoulder, and then he reacted and noticed her rather formal attire today.
He put aside his thoughts, smiled, took Zhu Chentan's hand, and praised her beauty.
But when he touched Zhu Chentan's wrist, he inexplicably thought of the day when he divorced Zhu Yinluan. He chased her to the inner courtyard, wanting to give her another chance, but she rejected him. He was so angry that he grabbed her hand and asked her what she meant.
At that time, her hands were so soft and slender that they seemed like they would break if bent, making people dare not use any force at all.
The corners of her eyes are red, which is different from the redness of Zhu Chentan's eyes. The former is dyed with rouge and powder, while the latter is red from crying.
He had a very hard time these days, always thinking about the wedding banquet.
Wei Ruzhuo couldn't explain why. He wanted the wedding banquet to come soon, but he was inexplicably afraid. Just like today, on the way to Shen's house, he actually had the urge to back out.
He didn't even know what he was afraid of.
Could it be that he was afraid that Zhu Yinluan would get close to the Shen family, so he wanted to give him a warning?
"You have been wandering around today. What happened?"
If Wei Ruzhuo hadn't frowned and looked worried, she would have really thought that he was thinking about some unknown bitch.
According to the servants bribed by the Wei family, he has not stayed at Fang Zhongyue's place these days and has been staying in the government office.
In addition, Zhu Chentan also went to Pang's house to ask tentatively, and learned that Zhu Yinluan had indeed taken away the family's land deed, so he was relieved about Wei Ruzhuo, as it seemed that he did not lie.
But she had no idea that Wei Ruzhuo had already informed Pang Shi, so she naturally didn't know about it.
"Nothing, I'm just worried about the Shangshu's promotion. The three departments have been taking the initiative recently, and I'm worried..."
The lies came out of his mouth without any hesitation, and Zhu Chentan didn't suspect anything.
Half comforting and half warning, "What are you afraid of? As long as we get married, father will definitely support you with all his strength. Father has many acquaintances in the officialdom over the years. When you become the son-in-law of the Zhu family, everyone will help you."
If this sentence had been said before, Wei Ruzhuo would have been extremely happy, but now he couldn't even smile.
Compared with his promotion, what is Zhu Yinluan's high marriage?
That's a rapid rise!
There was no way he could accept that Zhu Yinluan was standing at a higher position than him.
He didn't even want to go over there and expose Zhu Yinluan.
Is Shen Jingzhan such a person who is so easy to fool?
If he was really possessed by a ghost, in this situation, I'm afraid...
At this moment, he actually had the thought of backing out.
"No matter what, don't look so gloomy. When you get to the Shen family, they will be all big shots from high-ranking families. If you offend them by mistake, it will be more trouble than gain."
Zhu Chentan's unintentional words woke him up from his dream.
How could he possibly think of backing out?
Before he knew that Zhu Yinluan was the new bride that Shen Jingzhan was going to marry, his purpose of attending the wedding banquet was to make friends with the rich and powerful and rise to prominence!
If he backed out, how would he explain to the Shangshu?
It took a lot of effort and money to get this wedding invitation.
If he messes up, the Shangshu will definitely be disappointed in him.
Thinking of this, Wei Ruzhuo instantly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He held Zhu Chentan's hand and said, "Chentan, thank you for your comfort."
Seeing his rare initiative, Zhu Chentan's heart gradually became happy.
Soon they arrived at the Shen family.
It was her first time to be in a place with so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Even though she was the eldest daughter of the family, Zhu Chentan couldn't help but feel nervous. She got off the carriage very carefully, and even though she restrained her eyes, she couldn't help looking around.
Wei Ruzhuo was equally nervous, but he hid it very well and didn't reveal any clues.
There was a long queue in front, all of them were prominent families. The carriage the two of them were riding in was already the most impressive of the two families, but it was still not good enough in front of the big families.
Some even looked over and wondered which family he belonged to? In such a grand occasion, why did he only use a single carriage when he couldn't even bring out a three-horse carriage?
Zhu Chentan felt the gazes from others and thought that it was her clothes and makeup that attracted people, but she didn't expect that she had been laughed at.
The Shen family's property occupies a large area and has a spacious courtyard, so the guests who came to congratulate them quickly moved forward.
Just when it was almost her and Wei Ruzhuo's turn, a sarcastic voice came from the side.
The voice was neither loud nor soft, and it just happened to squeeze into Zhu Chentan's ears. She turned around and saw that it was Che Fangtian, the daughter of Yumen Silang of the Ministry of Works. The Che family was on good terms with the Luo family. Che Fangtian liked Luo Xuan and had wanted to marry him a few years ago, but Zhu Chentan got there first, so naturally the two of them didn't get along.
Not long ago, she learned that Zhu Chentan wanted to attend the Shen family's wedding and had been trying every means to get an invitation. It was she who brought people to secretly ridicule her with the name of the wife of the Minister of Works. She didn't expect that she would meet her enemy at the door of the Shen family.
Although Che Fangtian did not marry Luo Xuan, she had a good marriage and married the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works. She also made friends with many noble ladies. Therefore, she was able to attend the Shen family's banquet.
The two of them pretended to be very nice and were polite to each other.
After Wei Ruzhuo bowed to the Right Vice Minister, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him with a smile.
Zhu Chentan fell behind, alongside Che Fangtian.
Others didn't pay attention and naturally didn't know that the two were celebrating. They thought they were just chatting and laughing.
But if you listen closely, you can hear nothing but sarcasm.
Zhu Chentan originally wanted to be proud of herself, after all, Che Fangtian had ridiculed her some time ago, saying that the Shen family was very strict and not just any Tom, Dick or Harry could get in.
But didn't she come too?
But she didn't expect that as soon as they met, Che Fangtian looked down on her from head to toe, saying that she was like a pheasant flying into a phoenix's nest. Look at these noble ladies, and say that she was dressed so gaudy. Did she wear all the pearl hairpins in her house on her head? So cumbersome? It was as if she had never seen the world.
After hearing this, Zhu Chentan's face turned green.
He smiled but his face was not smiling. "Madam is really impatient. Why do you bite everyone you see today?"
Che Fangtian was choked by her and immediately fought back, asking her to take a good look at the scene in front of her - Wei Ruzhuo was trying to get close to Che Fangtian's husband, the Right Vice Minister. Zhu Chentan could not help but clench her fists.
"Under the emperor's feet, the hierarchy is clear. I advise Miss Zhu to be more careful with what you say. Don't say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing... Otherwise, you will end up losing more than you gain, and it will all be in vain."
After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Zhu Chentan's face was distorted, but he had already reached the steps of the Shen family, so he had to put on a smile, and for a moment he was very upset.
“…”
Only after entering the Shen family courtyard did Zhu Chentan and Wei Ruzhuo open their eyes.
Although I have known that the Shen family is very large, I didn't expect it to be so spacious after entering. The carved beams and painted buildings make it look like a fairyland. In this place under the emperor where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, they can actually occupy such an area, which shows how terrifying the Shen family is.
The people who came and went were all wives of noble families and princes of the royal family. Zhu Chentan had only seen portraits of some of them and heard their names. But when she got to see them in person today, she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding. It turned out that these were such powerful families.
Under this sharp contrast, she felt that her family and the Wei family were shabby. Even the wedding banquet that Luo Xuan had given her was not good enough. Although the wedding banquet that Luo Xuan had given her was also gorgeous and extravagant, what were they compared to the Shen family?
The material for the wedding dress she was preparing to wear to marry Wei Ruzhuo was the extremely valuable Yunling brocade, which she had spent a lot of effort to purchase. But looking at the red silk from the Shen family, if she was not mistaken, the red silk tied around the little maid's waist was the Yunling brocade she was using to make her wedding dress.
All of a sudden, she felt humiliated, and this feeling of humiliation spread densely in her heart.
She didn't want that wedding dress anymore, but if she looked for another one, would she want Fu Guang Jin or Yan Yu Shang? Those tribute items from Hengzhou, not to mention that she couldn't afford the price, even if she did, she couldn't afford them.
Come to think of it, the red silk tied around the maid's waist and used in pavilions and towers are so precious, how good must the material of the bride be?
Zhu Chentan felt extremely depressed by what she had seen in this world.
Wei Ruzhuo took her to various places in the Shen family to make friends with the adults, but basically he ran into a wall everywhere because he could not get a word in at all. Even if he did get a word in, the other party would isolate Wei Ruzhuo after just a few words and had no intention of introducing him to others. It was really impossible for him to get out even if he was familiar with them.
She felt depressed, but she had to put on a smile, and she felt more and more that she was making a fool of herself.
Time flies.
The Shi family had originally prepared many difficult questions for Shen Jingzhan to answer, but they never expected that the questions that everyone had racked their brains for for a long time were actually solved by him one by one, and very easily.
The Shi family are all military generals, so naturally they make friends of similar kinds. It is understandable that the essay topic is not good. Besides, Shen Jingzhan is the top scholar and the Minister of the Secretariat, helping His Majesty to draft imperial edicts and play with pen and ink. No one can argue with him.
Fortunately, "Three Passes and Six Generals" were prepared, and swords tied with red silk were thrown into the hands of both sides, requiring Shen Jingzhan to defeat the other side's "six generals" one by one.
When it comes to martial arts, the people of the Shi family are quite enthusiastic.
But he didn't expect to be defeated miserably. Shen Jingzhan's red sword was very fast.
When he took action, he was able to make the other party feel intimidated, but he did not overpower them. Relying on his own strong martial arts skills, he embarrassed the people from the Shi family who came to block the door and made them lose face.
Even if everyone loses, they lose with a sincere heart.
The people brought by Shen Jingzhan scattered a wave of gold leaves, and the people of the Shi family happily let them go.
Zhu Yinluan could hear the sound of gongs and drums resounding through the sky even in the inner courtyard. Just as she looked outside, Shi Congyuan came in hurriedly with the bridesmaids and maids and said that Shen Jingzhan had passed the stage of blocking the gate and was about to reach the front yard.
Zhu Yinluan's originally calm heart was made tense by everyone's disturbance.
Especially when the matchmaker handed her the round fan, she didn't dare to speak at all. Her heart was in knots. The round fan blocked her vision. She straightened her wrists and someone supported her on both sides.
"The bride is getting married!" the bridesmaid shouted in front.
The two elder sisters of the Shi family were accompanying her, and many maids saw her off.
Zhu Yinluan was panicked, but not really scared.
Because she was surrounded by people, no matter where she went, someone would remind her to keep her footing.
Soon we walked around the courtyard corridor and arrived at the front hall.
Through the ornate round fan, she saw a tall figure also wearing a red wedding dress.
Even though her vision was blurry and she couldn't see clearly, she could still make out the other person's handsome face with clear contours. He really stood out among the crowd.
Soon she was supported by someone and walked to the side of the tall and straight figure.
Feeling the cool aura from his body, Zhu Yinluan became even more nervous. There were too many people in the front hall of the Shi family. Not only did she not dare to speak, she didn't even dare to look at Shen Jingzhan next to her.
Shen Xiyun and General Shi sat in the main seats.
Although neither of them was Zhu Yinluan's biological parents, they had shown her a lot of warmth in a short period of time. Thinking of the time she spent in the Shi family, she was very happy. Now that she was really going to leave home and get married, she was actually a little reluctant, especially when she looked at Chen Xiyun and said goodbye.
The other person was happy for her and seemed reluctant to leave her, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Now that you are married, you must be filial to your parents-in-law, talk to your husband, and move forward hand in hand in harmony." Shen Xiyun said.
"My daughter understands." Zhu Yinluan bowed.
She could feel Chen Xiyun's blessing for her, unlike when she was in the Zhu family, her stepmother and father only told her that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and that she has to live her own life, whether it is good or bad, it is all her own fate.
General Shi used to be not good at speaking, but today he gave many detailed instructions. He also told Shen Jingzhan that he must not bully his daughter of the Shi family, otherwise he would not care what Shen Jingzhan's identity was or what kind of relationship the two families had.
Shen Jingzhan nodded in agreement and changed his words to call him father-in-law.
"Okay, go ahead and don't delay the auspicious time."
Shen Jingzhan looked at the shy and timid girl in red makeup beside him and walked out with her.
Only after she entered the bridal sedan did Zhu Yinluan breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, Shen Jingzhan not only looked at her, but also carefully reminded her to pay attention to the steps. The people who followed her were whispering and laughing. She was thin-skinned and couldn't help blushing.
The distance from Shi's house to Shen's house is not too far, but there are too many people coming to join in the fun of Shen Jingzhan's wedding today.
The government sent soldiers to maintain order, but they were still unable to stop the enthusiastic people.
Everyone wanted to see what the bride looked like.
But since the person was sitting in the sedan chair, you couldn’t see it at all.
Although I didn't get what I wanted, I still got a lot of prizes.
The Shen family had people prepare a lot of small wedding bags to distribute to the people who were nearby joining in the fun. They were filled with longans, peanuts, red dates, and other items, as well as copper coins and small change.
The people who received the wedding bags said auspicious words wishing the couple a happy marriage, a son soon, and a long-lasting marriage.
The groom, Prince Shen, who usually sat on his horse with a serious expression, actually thanked the people for their congratulations one by one and even returned the favor. The people became excited and it was very lively. More and more people came over.
Zhu Yinluan, who was sitting in the bridal sedan, naturally heard it. She did not expect Shen Jingzhan to be so approachable.
But then she thought of how Shen Jingzhan had taken care of her in the past, and she felt that it was normal. He was a very good person and always made people feel warm and delicate.
Her marriage was so quick and so good...
It was so good that it made her feel unreal.
Zhu Yinluan was still thinking to herself as the bridal sedan swayed and slowly arrived at the Shen family.
She suddenly came to her senses, picked up the round fan beside her, and held it in front of her to cover her face.
Shen Jingzhan got off his horse to pick her up, and Zhu Yinluan stretched out a hand.
The last time he held my hand was when I got off the carriage, but that was a long time ago.
His hands were as big as ever, and so warm that she subconsciously wanted to pull back, but he caught her hand again. He held her hand with deft gestures.
This force may seem gentle, but it actually hides a strength that does not allow anyone to retreat.
She couldn't tell why, but at that moment, she felt inexplicably panicked.
“…”
She always felt that this was not like the Shen Jingzhan she thought she knew, but he was really him.
Maybe it was an illusion. She had just arrived at the Shen family and was about to enter the door, so she was naturally nervous.
He must have sensed her fear and wanted to comfort her.
Yes, she was too flustered.
Zhu Yinluan relaxed and let Shen Jingzhan help her get off the sedan chair.
After getting off the bridal sedan, he let go of her hand and walked in side by side with her after being reminded by the matchmaker.
Zhu Yinluan felt more and more attention being paid to her, and some people were talking in low voices, but the voices were so low that she couldn't hear what they were saying.
I just felt that the road from the Shen family’s gate to the main hall was so long.
She had never been to the Shen family, so she could only be led by the little maids and matchmakers from the Shen family who came with her as a dowry. More importantly, Shen Jingzhan was by her side.
Walking side by side with Shen Jingzhan, he indeed attracted countless eyes.
She only knew that those who looked at her were wives of noble families and daughters of noble families, but she had no way of distinguishing them and did not dare to look at them carelessly.
The gazes focused on her were so intense, and there were so many of them, one after another, that Zhu Yinluan could only endure them one by one, keeping her eyes straight and walking along the path ahead.
The round fan covered her face, but it could not cover it completely like a red veil.
How could she know that among the people who came today were Zhu Chentan and Wei Ruzhuo.
Ever since the servants of the Shen family said that the prince had picked up the bride and was coming inside.
Wei Ruzhuo immediately stood up and squeezed into a hidden corner where he could observe.
Zhu Chentan followed beside him, not understanding what was going on, but she didn't say anything. She had suffered too many setbacks today, and she was upset but had no place to vent.
I was just about to ask Wei Ruzhuo what he was looking at?
His gaze was so focused that he stared directly and intently at the main hall of the Shen family's main corridor.
Zhu Chentan didn't think that Wei Ruzhuo was curious about Shen Jingzhan and wanted to get close to him. She just thought that he wanted to see the bride like those noble ladies and gentlemen. Was he so curious about the bride?
But before he could ask, a group of people from the other end of the corridor appeared and walked over. Wei Ruzhuo stared at the red figure not far away. His expression suddenly changed, looking extremely ugly, and his whole body tensed up.
Zhu Chentan didn't understand what was going on, so she looked over as well. The first glance was fine, but the second time she just felt that it looked vaguely familiar.
The third and fourth glances...this bride, this woman, why does she look so familiar?
Who is this person? Where has she seen him before? He looks so familiar!
Shen Jingzhan came over with the woman in red, and as they got closer, Zhu Chentan, who saw the bride's appearance from the side under the corridor, felt as if he was struck by thunder.
The expression on Zhu Chentan's face collapsed, and the smile that he had been pretending for so long completely disappeared, from suspicion to shock and then to horror.
Did she see it right?!
How come Shen Jingzhan's new wife, the unknown adopted daughter of the Shi family, looks exactly like his timid illegitimate sister Zhu Yinluan, who was divorced and abandoned by the Wei family and had nowhere to go but disappeared?
No! Not exactly the same, it's her!
Zhu Chentan was stunned for a long time. Only when the person opposite her disappeared in the corridor and walked into the main hall did she come back to her senses.
Just as she was about to rush up and ask if she was Zhu Yinluan, why was she here! But she was grabbed by the person next to her. He pinched her wrist with great force, as if he was also restraining himself.
Zhu Chentan frowned in pain, but she couldn't care about it at the moment. Instead, she growled and asked him why he was pulling her.
"Didn't you see who that person was?!"
Zhu Yinluan, that little bitch!
Facing Wei Ruzhuo's ugly expression, thinking of his abnormal behavior today and his distraction in the past few days, she finally understood why.
What a bullshit worry about the position of Shangshu. He already knew that Zhu Yinluan would marry into a wealthy family!
Thinking of this, what else is there for her to not understand!
Someone nearby had noticed that there seemed to be a dispute here. Seeing that her expression was also out of control, Wei Ruzhuo took her away from the corridor.
Fortunately, the Shen family's place is large, and the newlyweds are visiting their parents, so no one noticed the hidden corner in the backyard.
Zhu Chentan was in a mess. She was jealous and hateful. She said she was sober but she wasn't.
How could she accept that the bride she had been envious of all day turned out to be the illegitimate sister she once looked down upon?
She actually remarried, and married into the Shen family? ! ! !
She knew she shouldn't show her emotions, but she couldn't control herself at this moment.
"You...did you already know that the person marrying into the Shen family today was Zhu Yinluan?"
Wei Ruzhuo was not feeling well at the moment either.
If the wedding invitation was just the fuse, then the dazzling wedding dress that Zhu Yinluan was wearing today was the flammable fire. The combination of the two simply ignited him to the point of burning anger.
He didn't quite believe it before and held out a glimmer of hope, but now he has no choice but to believe it.
How could he accept seeing her wearing wedding dress and marrying someone else, and marrying the most powerful and young official in the capital?
No wonder she didn't go back to the Wei family to beg for mercy, it turned out that she had climbed up the social ladder.
"I'm just guessing." Wei Ruzhuo closed his eyes, trying to hide his anxious mood.
"What guess?" Zhu Chentan asked, looking unhappy.
"I received a wedding invitation from the Shangshu Lord before. On the invitation was written the three characters Zhu Yinluan. At first I thought it was just a name and surname, but the invitation also had her date of birth..."
"I thought there was no such coincidence in the world, so I wanted to find out the news, but the Shen and Shi families hid it so well that I had no idea where to start."
"When I came here today, it turned out to be her." Wei Ruzhuo said gritting his teeth.
Zhu Chentan's heart was burning with anger, and she continued to ask, "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Did you bring her here to see the joke, to watch Zhu Yinluan's high-class marriage, and to see her being so arrogant?
When she thought about the days before, she and her mother had to go around giving gifts and asking for favors in order to get a wedding invitation from the Shen family. When she thought about how she dressed up so carefully when she went out today but was ridiculed as a wild chicken. When she thought about the Shen family maid wearing the same silk as her wedding dress around her waist. When she thought about how she chatted with Wei Ruzhuo but was ridiculed...
Zhu Yinluan might have spies around, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
No matter how much Wei Ruzhuo is promoted, how can he compare with Shen Jingzhan? !
Zhu Chentan felt that if he stayed any longer, she would go crazy and lose control.
So she closed her eyes and opened them again, using all her strength to maintain her final dignity and hurried away.
Wei Ruzhuo, who was left behind, stared at the direction of the front hall, his face green and black, "..."
In front of her was the main hall of the Shen family. After paying respects to her parents and being sent to the bridal chamber to wait, Zhu Yinluan only breathed a sigh of relief the moment she sat on the edge of the bed.
All the maids left. She gently put down the fan in her hand and looked around the inner room.
The first reaction was that it was so big and spacious.
It's just an inner room, but it's no less than a courtyard.
The dressing table, the antique storage rack, the table and chairs, and the small table are all made of expensive materials that can be seen with the naked eye.
She looked at the flickering candlelight and felt the quietness of the night.
Feeling a little hungry, Zhu Yinluan took out the small purse that Shi Congwei had prepared for her, opened it, and took a few bites carefully.
The phoenix crown on her head was so heavy that she was afraid it would fall off, so she didn't dare to move too much.
But just after I was distracted for a while, I suddenly heard footsteps and greetings coming from outside.
The one calling was the Crown Prince Jin An.
Zhu Yinluan hurriedly stuffed the small purse into the quilt. She picked up the round fan to cover her face, her heart beating fast because of fright.
At this time, the door was pushed open and the man was approaching.
