Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Intimacy.
Blown by the scorching, hot and strong spring breeze, the spring waves become more twisted and appear softer.
It should have made one's flesh and bones soften, but at the beginning, all that was aroused was an unbearable heat.
Zhu Yinluan felt she was very hot.
It was just after spring and now it was early summer. Although the weather in the capital was sometimes cold and sometimes hot, it was still cold overall.
Before Shen Jingzhan came over, she noticed that pepper mud was used on the walls of the new house - crushed peppercorns and mixed them with spices to make mud and walls, using its spicy nature to keep warm and its fragrance.
In addition, there is an incense burner in the inner room.
When she entered the tent just now, she had to cover herself with a brocade fur coat, but now most of it had fallen off. Shen Jingzhan was holding her, and he himself was like a huge furnace.
This strong fire rubbed against her, making her so hot that she couldn't bear it anymore.
He knew she was feeling uncomfortable and was already helping her take off her clothes to reduce her fever.
But...it's just a drop in the bucket.
Because his nose had already lingered over the peaks formed by piles of snow.
The man seemed uncomfortable as well, hiding deep in the snowy ridges.
That place was just to the right side of Zhu Yinluan's heart. Her heart was beating like thunder at the moment, and he must have heard it.
Although she had done things that were kind to others, Wei Ruzhuo's impartiality was completely different from Shen Jingzhan's...
When facing the former, she was still able to suppress herself and control herself from showing too much emotion, but Shen Jingzhan had just started, how could she... become like this?
It seemed more disorganized than any other time he had experienced before?
Perhaps it was because Shen Jingzhan was the most unattainable son of a powerful official in the capital, the flower on the mountain top that all the noble ladies wanted to pluck.
He was young, and extremely handsome, yet such a man was filled with lust, and he was with her, holding her neck like this, how could she not react?
The man was polite at first.
He did not kiss her on the lips.
Zhu Yinluan had just made some "uncomfortable" noises, but she knew that this was not enough to deal with the people outside.
Just when she was confusedly wondering whether she should deliberately raise her voice, he didn't know where to start, but he actually... kissed her on the lips.
Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but raise her slender neck, which was covered with dense sweat and the scent of his breath. She raised her voice as she wished, and it was indeed heard outside.
The maids and servants who were on night watch heard it all, but no one dared to be curious and just watched.
Zhu Yinluan felt like she was about to melt from the heat.
Because the strong wind always lingers on the soft and sticky land formed by the snow.
She didn't know how long it had been, but sweat broke out in the corners of her eyes. She even started to push him away, but he grabbed her wrist and restrained her.
The man's backhand grip on her was so familiar, as if he had squeezed her wrist like this before...
A picture flashed through Zhu Yinluan's mind, but it was so fast that she had no time to capture it.
Intermittent sounds popped out, sometimes high, sometimes low.
Tears and sweat rolled down together.
The man's thin lips finally left the place where he lingered and fell back on her face, eyebrows, and nose tip, but he never kissed her lips.
His other big hand passed through the girl's slender waist and took over the job of her thin lips.
He messed up the spring scenery in the garden. Under his five bony fingers, the snow-white color escaped from between his fingers, but was brought back by him.
Zhu Yinluan's moans became louder and louder.
The maids outside couldn't help blushing when they heard this.
I didn't expect that the eldest master actually loved Miss Zhu so much and loved her so much that she cried softly.
“…”
When Old Madam Shen, who was dealing with guests over there, heard the news, she looked surprised and a little bit unbelieving.
Her personal mother nodded again and said that she had heard it with her own ears. Only then did Mrs. Shen take it seriously.
That woman was no longer a virgin, but her noble and cold eldest grandson did not despise her and instead pestered her several times.
It seems that he really likes it.
The female relatives saw her expression change. Old Lady Shen didn't say anything, but they didn't dare to ask what happened.
Zhu Yinluan was not aware that the person who was ordered to eavesdrop outside had left.
She couldn't care less at the moment.
She was just sobbing softly just now, but when Shen Jingzhan kissed her, her toes couldn't help but curl up.
Realized what he might be about to do.
Zhu Yinluan quickly stopped him and told him not to kiss her.
It doesn’t matter where you kiss, but how can you kiss there?
The man stopped and looked at her. She was crying with shame and covered her face with her hands. Her wrists were so thin and tender, and still dazzlingly white in the dim light.
Most of her long, black, shiny hair spread all over the pillow, and a small amount of it stuck to her face, mixed with tears and sweat.
The girl's eyelashes trembled and the tip of her nose twitched from time to time. How could she be so beautiful?
Shen Jingzhan suppressed the absurd thoughts in his mind, knowing that he couldn't act too hastily.
So I followed her wishes.
"I want Luan'er to be well." His voice was hoarse and frighteningly deep when he spoke.
Zhu Yinluan pursed her lips.
It didn't take long to understand what he meant.
The man has been holding a sword and a pen all year round. Although his fingers are as slender as jade with distinct joints, his fingertips are very rough.
Zhu Yinluan felt it with her own eyes. Although he was gentle and restrained, she couldn't help crying out loud, and he kissed away her tears.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the tip of her nose had turned red from crying, and her curled toes finally relaxed in an instant, revealing a faint pink color around her small feet, thanks to the flowing Milky Way.
She cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath.
The man kept waiting for her to calm down, and after a long time he asked her if she was feeling better.
"...... Yeah." Zhu Yinluan had almost no strength left.
Although she was better, he still persisted.
Zhu Yinluan was about to speak when he stood up and was about to leave.
She asked anxiously. When she stood up, she hadn't recovered her strength yet and fell into the soft blanket. "Where are you going?"
"Call for water." When the man looked over, his eyes dimmed and he looked away in an instant.
Zhu Yinluan also noticed her "embarrassment" at this moment.
Her clothes were disheveled at the moment, revealing her beauty.
The moment Shen Jingzhan looked away, she immediately lowered her eyes to tidy up, but when she barely finished tidying up, the man had already left.
“…”
The maids were quick and brought hot water to help Zhu Yinluan take a bath.
Even if the two did not actually have sex, the various signs were enough to fool people.
Mingya told Zhu Yinluan that Madam Shen and Old Lady Shen had just sent someone over, who listened for half the night and then left.
After Zhu Yinluan calmed down, she thought about what had just happened.
Shen Jingzhan wanted to kiss her, but he didn't really perform the Zhougong ceremony with her.
It's clearly just acting.
Since it has been fooled.
The two of them would have ended their own embarrassments, but he actually took into account her discomfort and helped her feel better.
I was just helping her, and I'll withdraw as soon as the task is completed.
Zhu Yinluan certainly felt Shen Jingzhan's "difficulty in speaking". Even at that point, he did not go any further. Firstly, perhaps it was out of consideration for the friendship between gentlemen, and secondly, he probably still wanted to keep his innocence for the girl he loved, right?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but let out a breath.
She was not disappointed, but felt sorry for Shen Jingzhan again. If he had married the person he really wanted to marry, this wedding night would not be like this.
In the bathroom next to the room, the man in the cold water closed his eyes, hot sweat rolled down his forehead, his eyebrows touched each other, veins on his forehead bulged, and his exhaled breath was terrifyingly hot.
The cold water in the bathtub was heated up by him.
He was still angry and looked down, and saw that the stalemate was still going on.
This dry wood that has been enduring for many years, when it encounters a raging fire, how can it be extinguished in an instant?
But he had to do it.
If you want quick success and instant benefits too much, she will definitely find something wrong.
He was thinking about the girl's fair skin and delicate face. At the moment, she was not there, so he temporarily put aside the lustful thoughts in his mind.
The water in the tub was turbulent, and soon the white cloud spring water finally emerged and mixed in, just like his thoughts, which were barely able to stretch out.
Zhu Yinluan stayed in bed for a long time before Shen Jingzhan came back.
I noticed that she hadn't slept, so I asked her if she was feeling unwell.
The man's voice became hoarse and deep, leaving only gentleness.
"Just now, I'm sorry..." He actually admitted his mistake to her.
Zhu Yinluan didn't know what to say for a moment.
He is clearly so thoughtful and meticulous.
She shook her head. "I...you don't need to apologize to me, it's me..."
Thinking of how Shen Jingzhan looked when he went out, and now he was late again, she pursed her lips and asked in a low voice if he was okay?
She had suppressed it with difficulty, but now she whispered her concern in a low voice, and the remaining fire that had not yet dissipated seemed to be rekindling.
Shen Jingzhan's eyes flickered slightly, and he answered the question in a gentle tone, "What's wrong with Luan'er?"
"I'm putting you in a difficult position."
If she couldn't do it, Shen Jingzhan should have remained chaste for the woman he loved.
"I was the one who took advantage of this matter. Luan'er shouldn't blame herself." He comforted her.
"I used too much force just now, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere, Luan'er?"
“No, Mingya applied medicine to me.” He asked someone to bring it. I have to say that Shen Jingzhan is really considerate and kind.
"I'm glad Luan'er wasn't hurt." He lay beside her.
After this incident, the place where he lay was further away from where he was before, but Zhu Yinluan didn't notice.
"What about you? You haven't answered me yet. Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine." He chuckled.
Zhu Yinluan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the man say it himself.
"It's good that everything is alright."
"only……"
"Just what?" she asked.
"If Luan'er doesn't like calling me by my courtesy name, then you can call me husband. Is that okay?"
His courtesy name...
Since the last time, Zhu Yinluan indeed never called him by his courtesy name. She always felt it was too intimate.
Now if I call her that again, I feel... awkward.
"Husband..." she called softly.
The man in the dim light heard her call and the curve of his thin lips widened, "Hmm."
He had been waiting for this sound for too long.
After tossing and turning for half the night, Zhu Yinluan fell asleep in shyness. After her breathing became steady, the man beside her turned around and looked at her sleeping face without saying a word.
He was close, so close.
He pressed his cheek against hers, and gently stroked her eyebrows and nose with his fingertips, over and over again, revealing his unknown joy and obsession, and called her Luan'er in a low and tender voice.
Finally, I married you.
The Shen family sent all the guests away very late that night.
Things are not peaceful at the Zhu family either.
Zhu Chentan rushed directly to the Shen family, but no one was there.
The servants said that Lord Zhu and Zhu Mingsheng had gone to Lishui to work and would not be back for a few days. Madam Zhu had gone to the mansion as scheduled and she would probably be back later as well.
Zhu Chentan was so angry that he went back to the yard and smashed things all over the floor.
The little maid went up to persuade her, but was slapped in the face by her. They looked at each other in confusion and no one dared to say anything.
The mother in charge had better go find Mrs. Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu, who received the news, could no longer sit still and hurried home.
Without asking what had happened on the way, Mrs. Zhu rushed to Zhu Chentan's yard and was shocked because the ground was a mess and all the objects in the house had been smashed by her. There was no place to step at all.
Zhu Chentan was so angry that she cried bitterly. Not only were her eyes red, but even her hair was disheveled.
"My ancestor, what happened again? Wasn't he fine before he left?"
Mrs. Zhu quickly asked people to clean up, but she also felt sorry for the ornaments that were broken on the ground by Zhu Chentan. Most of them were valuable. The family was short of money these days, and she would have to buy more to make up for it.
"Mother! You..." Zhu Chentan hesitated to speak.
When Mrs. Zhu saw her like this, she thought she was possessed by a demon and kept asking her what was wrong.
"Mother, do you know who the woman Master Shen married is?!" Zhu Chentan felt humiliated at this moment. She looked at Madam Zhu and even suspected that Madam Zhu was lying to her.
Because Mrs. Zhu had been asking people for invitations, asking her to attend this humiliating wedding banquet.
She didn't go out to see the world, but was tricked and became a liar and a joke!
Mrs. Zhu was confused. "What on earth happened?"
Not seeing any evasive look in Mrs. Zhu's eyes, Zhu Chentan reluctantly relaxed, but the anger in her heart was still burning, and it was burning particularly fiercely.
"Who is she? Isn't she the newly adopted daughter of the Shi family?" Mrs. Zhu asked her if she had met her and made friends with her.
Zhu Chentan sneered, "Make friends?"
"Mother should really go over and see who she is?!"
Madam Zhu frowned, "Tan'er, what happened? If you don't tell me, how can mother know?"
Zhu Chentan shouted loudly, "The new wife that Master Shen married, the adopted daughter of the Shi family, is none other than that little bitch Zhu Yinluan!"
Mrs. Zhu thought she had heard it wrongly, "Who?"
"That little bitch Zhu Yinluan! She actually hooked up with the Shi family and married into the Shen family, becoming a phoenix on the treetops!"
"How is that possible?" Madam Zhu waved her hands and smiled, "How could it be her? You must have made a mistake..."
Although she said so, Mrs. Zhu felt that it was not right.
If the story was not true, Zhu Chentan would not have gone crazy and thrown things around like this.
But how is it possible? !
That little bitch... Yes, there has been no news about Zhu Yinluan in these days. It’s as if she has completely disappeared in the capital.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" asked Mrs. Zhu.
"My daughter saw it with her own eyes, it was definitely her!" Zhu Chentan was almost shaking uncontrollably.
"Not only my daughter, Wei Ruzhuo also saw it, it was her! She married into the Shen family, married Shen Jingzhan!"
God knows how jealous she is!
That was Shen Jingzhan, the man all the noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry the most.
"How could this be..." Mrs. Zhu's face began to turn pale, realizing that something was wrong.
If this is true, Zhu Yinluan will probably not let the Zhu family go.
When Mrs. Zhu thought about how he had come to settle accounts with her and even hired some thugs to harass and intimidate her, cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
She murmured, "Zhu Yinluan has always been unknown, how could she get close to the Shi family?"
This matter must not be that simple.
Madam Zhu asked her to calm down first while the maids cleaned up the mess in the room.
She asked the maids to get water and re-dress Zhu Chentan.
The other party was very resistant.
Madam Zhu pinched her brows and said, "Nothing serious has happened yet, and you are already so angry that you lose your composure. If something really happens, what will we do?!"
"Mother, you don't know how humiliated your daughter is today!" Zhu Chentan shouted loudly, saying that the material for her wedding dress was hanging on the waists of the maids of the Shen family, and those were all maids doing rough work!
"She's humiliating me! She must be doing this on purpose!"
When Zhu Chentan thought that the half-sister whom she had looked down upon in the past had actually climbed over her head and would suppress her for the rest of her life, she became so angry that her teeth were chattering and her bones were aching.
"Calm down!" Mrs. Zhu felt distressed to see her like this, and asked someone to make some calming soup.
I had a big cough and after taking some tranquilizing soup and taking some agarwood, I felt much better.
Madam Zhu comforted her for a long time, "I will ask your father to investigate this matter. If it is true, the new bride of the Shen family is really Zhu Yinluan, then we must make a long-term plan."
"In mother's opinion, this is not entirely a bad thing." Mrs. Zhu quickly beat around the bush.
"It's not a bad thing?" Zhu Chentan's face turned dark when he thought of Zhu Yinluan's possible arrogant look.
"It's not a bad thing." Madam Zhu stroked her hair. "If Zhu Yinluan really marries a rich man, you must interact with her more. If you don't want to marry Wei Ruzhuo, won't you have better choices?"
"Mother, do you want me to marry into a wealthy family by relying on Zhu Yinluan?" Zhu Chentan calmed down instantly.
"If she is willing to help you, it is not impossible." Mrs. Zhu nodded.
Zhu Chentan couldn't help feeling insecure when he thought about the embarrassing incident at the Wei family that day and the many things that happened afterwards.
"It's easy for you to say that. Zhu Yinluan must have become very powerful with the help of the Shen family. How could she possibly help me? Besides, have you forgotten? It was us who forced her out of the Shen family, and you later sent someone to settle accounts with her and bully her..."
Zhu Chentan was calculating in his mind as he spoke: if he could marry into a wealthy family by stepping on Zhu Yinluan...
If you listen to your mother, enduring this temporary grievance won't be a big deal.
Yes, Zhu Yinluan was so stupid, maybe... maybe she caught Shen Jingzhan's eye with her looks.
Zhu Chentan couldn't help but think in her heart that since she was able to snatch Wei Ruzhuo away, Shen Jingzhan would naturally be no problem either.
The thought of being able to marry someone as brilliant as Shen Jingzhan...
Zhu Chentan's heart was beating extremely fast.
At this moment, she has already replaced the object of everyone's envy with herself.
"Don't worry." Madam Zhu sneered, "Even if she enters the palace and becomes a queen, she still has the surname Zhu and is a member of the Zhu family."
Since you are a member of the Zhu family, of course you have to help with housework.
"You are right."
“…”
Compared with the Zhu family, the Wei family's side is relatively calm.
Wei Ruzhuo did chat with several adults at the wedding banquet, but whether they remembered him or not is another matter.
After Zhu Chentan left, he didn't stay long.
I couldn't drink a single sip of the wedding wine, but I had to drink it for the sake of socializing.
He felt a spicy sting in his throat all day long.
He was actually drinking at Zhu Yinluan and another man’s wedding?
After coming back, he also smashed the teapot and cups on the table with a bang. All his followers were so scared that they dared not speak and could only look at each other.
Wei Ruzhuo has been in a moody mood recently, and he also ordered that what happened here must not be disclosed to Tingyu Pavilion or reach Pang Shi's ears.
It took a long time for Wei Ruzhuo to calm down, and he slumped in the armchair.
This night was really hard to endure.
It turned out to be Zhu Yinluan and someone else’s wedding night!
How could he accept this! Zhu Yinluan should have been his!
We shouldn't have let her leave the Wei family in the first place. Why should we let her go?
It had only been a short time since she went out, but she got married.
Less than a month?
Thinking of this, Wei Ruzhuo's face darkened. She must have had a secret affair with Shen Jingzhan! The two of them must have had a secret affair for a long time.
right.
He has been extremely busy these years, running around for work and rarely going home.
In addition, he was too tired and inexplicably weak. He always had no interest and could not lift his head, so he rarely slept with Zhu Yinluan.
Will she cheat on me?
Although Zhu Yinluan is timid and boring, she is very beautiful and there are very few men who would not be moved by her timid appearance.
Did she seduce Shen Jingzhan, or did Shen Jingzhan attack her?
He must get to the bottom of this and absolutely cannot be a leftover bastard!
Wei Ruzhuo was very angry and pinched his brows.
His mind was in a mess and somehow he suddenly recalled his wedding night with Zhu Yinluan many years ago.
At that time, his family was in decline and the woman he loved was taken away by the Luo family, so the Zhu family had no choice but to marry Zhu Yinluan to him.
When he heard Zhu Yinluan's name at that time, the only impression he had was a silent shadow.
I met him at Zhu's house, but we didn't say much.
All I know is that she is a concubine's daughter and is very unpopular.
That marriage was just a formality.
There was no joy or expectation because the person I married was not the one I wanted to marry.
He followed the procedure instructed by the matchmaker step by step.
When he pushed away the round fan in Zhu Yinluan's hand and looked at her formally, he couldn't describe his feelings at that time.
Although she was wearing red makeup, she looked delicate and timid, with watery eyes and an indescribable purity. She looked at him anxiously and pitifully.
Wei Ruzhuo's heart skipped a beat.
Soon, he came to his senses.
He frowned and reflected on why he was stunned by Zhu Yinluan. Wasn't he being unfair to Zhu Chentan, whom he liked and had kept in his heart for many years?
But at that time he forgot that the woman he liked, Zhu Chentan, had already become someone else's wife, and the woman in front of him, Zhu Yinluan, was his wife. He should have liked her and looked at her...
Wei Ruzhuo loosened his grip on his brows, and a feeling of sourness suddenly stirred in his angry heart.
He wondered if Zhu Yinluan tonight was as pure and charming as she was many years ago? Would Shen Jingzhan lose his mind while looking at her?
Would she also be extremely patient under Shen Jingzhan, not daring to make a sound and crying secretly?
The more he thought about it, the more sour his heart became, to the point of driving him crazy.
But he still didn't admit that he was jealous, he was just angry about being betrayed.
“…”
Thinking about the tea ceremony tomorrow, Zhu Yinluan specifically told Mingya to wake her up early.
But she woke up too early in the past, and today was the same. She woke up before Mingya called her.
Then she realized that something was wrong.
Why is this quilt so hot and so hard? Shouldn't it be soft?
She opened her eyes in a daze, and as her hands were touching around, she suddenly heard a man groan.
Zhu Yinluan woke up instantly, "!"
She sat up!
It took me a while to come back to my senses and remember what happened yesterday.
She should have slept on the inside, but she actually ran into Shen Jingzhan's arms? ! !
He also looked confused and was still resting. He was woken up by her.
Zhu Yinluan didn't expect that she would do such an outrageous thing and slept with Shen Jingzhan in her arms for a whole night.
She even rubbed his shirt open, rested her face on his chest, and hugged his narrow waist and abdominal muscles...
No wonder she felt something was wrong.
It was not the right time to think about these things. Zhu Yinluan turned her eyes away, suppressed the unnatural feeling in her heart and said, "I... I don't know how I ran over..."
"sorry."
She had always rested very well in the past, and she had no idea what happened yesterday.
"Nothing."
The man put on his shirt and gave her a comforting smile, telling her not to take it to heart.
But Zhu Yinluan still felt embarrassed. She just wondered how this could happen! How could she be so unruly to Shen Jingzhan...
But she didn't know that after she fell asleep yesterday, the man held her in his arms all night. During that time, she felt hot and wanted to break free, but he held her tightly.
Because she subconsciously believed that Shen Jingzhan was a gentleman and would never do this, so the problem could only be with her.
Zhu Yinluan was still thinking about her words, not knowing what to say, when Mingya walked in and reminded her that it was time to get up, breaking the deadlock between the two.
Shen Jingzhan stood up first, and Zhu Yinluan suppressed her embarrassment and unnaturalness and followed him out of the curtain.
During the wash and grooming period, the two of them didn’t say anything else, and she looked slightly evasive, not daring to look at Shen Jingzhan.
Seeing her like this, the maids naturally thought she was shy.
Shen Jingzhan is faster than her.
He just waited quietly by the side, without any impatience or urging.
When Zhu Yinluan whispered to her to urge the sprouts to grow, he also told her not to panic, "Father and mother won't come that early, Luan'er just take your time to pack up."
Their eyes met in the bronze mirror. His eyes were smiling, gentle and kind, and the unnaturalness that she had suppressed with great difficulty came out again.
It was a long time before she replied to him after Mingya reminded her.
On the way there, the maids, servants and old women followed the two of them at a certain distance.
Shen Jingzhan spoke to her softly. He told her the layout of the Shen Mansion and which courtyard the elders of the family lived in. "After breakfast, I'll take Luan'er for a walk."
"Aren't you busy with work?" she asked, and the man looked at her with a frown.
Zhu Yinluan didn't understand what was going on. After being stared at by him for a long time, she finally realized what was going on and changed her address. "...Husband, aren't you busy with work?"
"Your Majesty has allowed me to rest at home for a few days."
"I see." She nodded.
"Yeah." The man continued her words.
The conversation returned to the Shen family's courtyard and talked about the elders of the Shen family.
As they talked and walked, they soon arrived at the front hall.
Zhu Yinluan followed Shen Jingzhan and stepped in.
I felt the gazes of all the Shen family relatives present.
