Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Doesn't Luan'er have any feelings for me...
Zhu Yinluan was confused, "Why would I ask him alone?"
She really wanted to ask just now, but then she thought again, she had almost learned the news about the Wei family from Chen Kouyu.
Chen Kouyu has already said that it will be difficult for the Wei family to make a comeback this time. So the Wei family must be involved in endless lawsuits, and they will suffer a lot if they don't die, right?
The Wei family doesn't have any direct descendants who can help, so keeping a distance from them or even stepping on you is already the most they can do.
When Wei Ruzhuo was promoted, many members of the Wei family's side branches disliked him. Wasn't it the fault of the Wei family's side branches that he offended the Shangshu before?
There was no point in thinking too much. She no longer had any relationship with the Wei family, so there was no need to ask about the details.
What’s more, it was in front of Shen Jingzhan.
Chen Jingzhan is her remarried husband, and Wei Ruzhuo is her ex-husband. If she asks about her ex-husband's family too much in front of her new husband's family, I'm afraid...
etc.
Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem like an illusion. When Shen Jingzhan said this, it seemed as if he was really jealous.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Shen Jingzhan again.
The man's handsome face was indifferent, but under the moonlight, it reflected a stunning brilliance. It was hard to tell whether he was jealous or not, he just looked handsome.
Judging from his expression, he should be saying no, but...he asked in a strange way.
She couldn't do what Shen Jingzhan did and ask him directly if he was jealous?
So I just kept silent and didn't say anything.
But she didn't say anything, but Shen Jingzhan met her gaze at this moment.
He said, "To be honest, I thought Luan'er was restless because she learned about the Wei family's accident and was worried about Wei Ruzhuo, so she couldn't eat and was listless."
Zhu Yinluan, "......"
He had already asked her once just now, and she explained that it was not the case, it was just because of a nightmare, but Shen Jingzhan still said this now, which clearly showed that he did not believe it.
Zhu Yinluan had to say, "If something happened to him... I'm naturally happy, why would I be worried?" He was so worried that he couldn't eat and was listless?
She is not a saint. The way the Wei family treated her was tantamount to kicking her out of the house and forcing her into a desperate situation, leaving her with no place to stand in the capital.
How could she possibly worry about Wei Ruzhuo getting into trouble? How could she really hope for Wei Ruzhuo's well-being and hope for Wei Ruzhuo's promotion?
Moreover, if Wei Ruzhuo is promoted step by step, what if he surpasses the Shen family and Shen Jingzhan in the future and turns around to deal with her? Although this is impossible, even if Wei Ruzhuo is promoted, his family background is thin and cannot compare with the deep roots of the Shen family, but he always has to make various plans for everything.
She did not forget how Wei Ruzhuo looked so arrogant and gnashing his teeth when she left the Wei family, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Even if we meet again, it will not be possible for us to be friendly with each other. It will just be a narrow encounter.
"Even if I am worried, I am worried about you. How can I worry about Wei Ruzhuo? I hate him so much that I don't have time to do it."
How could Shen Jingzhan not understand just by analyzing it from the perspective of interests? He kept asking her.
The man smiled and said, "I misunderstood and spoke too much. Luan'er, don't be angry." He poured her a cup of tea and brought her two cakes as if to please her.
Looking at the smile on the man's face, Zhu Yinluan originally couldn't eat anymore, but still reached out and took the pastries he gave her.
While eating, thinking back on this incident, she still felt that something was wrong with Shen Jingzhan.
"Did my younger sister tell Luan'er who impeached the Wei family?"
Zhu Yinluan shook her head and asked casually, "Who impeached him?"
"Luan'er, don't you suspect that I did it?" He asked with interest, "Or did I ask someone to do it?"
"Won't."
"Why?" Shen Jingzhan was puzzled by her firm tone.
"Because you are a gentleman." Zhu Yinluan blurted out.
After she finished speaking, she said that she did not think that Wei Ruzhuo's impeachment was a false accusation, but she felt that he simply did not bother to deal with the Wei family. What's more, he was handling the case of the palace examination and had no time to care about these things.
Shen Jingzhan smiled and repeated her words, "So it's because I'm a gentleman."
It seemed that he had disguised himself too well in front of her in the past.
She didn't suspect him at all about the Wei family's affairs and didn't think he was the one who did it.
But if that was the case, what had caused her to doubt and start avoiding his touch?
Could it be that she really did dream about the past and really remembered something?
Before, he felt that she might have recalled things from the past, and originally wanted to ask the imperial physician to take a look, but she refused.
"What are you laughing at, husband?" Zhu Yinluan was puzzled. "Isn't my husband a gentleman?"
If he is not a gentleman, then he is the scary man in her dream?
He didn't answer yes or no, "It's getting late, we should go back and rest."
"You haven't told me yet, who impeached the Wei family?" she asked.
Shen Jingzhan said, “Luo family, Lord Luo did it.”
"Is it because of my eldest sister's divorce from Luo Xuan?" The Luo family is holding a grudge?
Once the Zhu family and the Wei family get married, will Wei Ruzhuo suppress the Luo family after he becomes the Shangshu?
Shen Jingzhan told her, "There are four candidates for the position of Minister of Rites, namely the four heads of the four departments. Among them, Lin Xiang, the Minister of Rites, is on good terms with the Luo family. It can be said that Lin Xiang was supported by Lord Luo."
So that's how it is. Shen Jingzhan didn't need to say anything more, Zhu Yinluan already understood.
Ultimately, it is a conflict of interests among the gentry.
After returning to the yard and taking a rest, what Zhu Yinluan worried about happened.
Old Mrs. Shen and Madam Shen sent someone over again.
When she heard Mingya talking about outside, she really sighed in her heart that the old lady who eavesdropped in the corner was so persistent, and she really came here every day.
She is pregnant now, so it is better not to have sex with Shen Jingzhan. What if she gets pregnant?
Although Shen Jingzhan is gentle in sex, he has been practicing martial arts since he was young and has a tall and strong physique.
Although he was restrained and gentle, he always made her lose control and sometimes she would even scream, which was no longer just low sobs.
She could feel that Shen Jingzhan understood her body better than she did.
He knew where he would touch her and she would shrink, where he would rub her soft spots and turn her into a puddle of water, and where he would kiss her and make her gasp for breath.
A few days ago, she also had sex with him.
It must be said that after the previous adjustment, the two of them became more and more compatible in sex.
There is no need for too much early moistening, the spring rain will gradually begin.
Not long after Shen Jingzhan kissed her, his big hand pinched her waist, and the two of them hugged each other.
His broad, strong chest crushed her soft body into shapelessness, and she began to lose strength.
It was really thanks to the fact that Shen Jingzhan was handsome and had a strong body that it was a pleasure to have sex with him.
Not to mention he is good at kissing, nuzzling, and kneading...
Her whole body was filled with endless relaxation and joy, and she felt so comfortable that she cried.
Thinking about this, I'm afraid no one would believe it if I told it to others. Even my past self wouldn't believe it either.
Zhu Yinluan went from being nervous to being frightened and then to acceptance and enjoyment. Now she has gradually gotten used to it, and even... likes it.
A few days ago, she was still feeling lucky that her body was not prone to pregnancy, and no matter how unrestrained she and Shen Jingzhan were, she didn't have to take contraceptive soup. But she didn't expect... that she actually had a child.
Zhu Yinluan hadn't figured out how to reject Shen Jingzhan yet, but he didn't mean to do that, and just told her to have a good rest.
Hearing this, Zhu Yinluan sighed in her heart that she was worrying too much.
Shen Jingzhan has always been gentle and polite, so how could he have sex with her when she was uncomfortable?
I didn't sleep well that night.
Zhu Yinluan had a dream, but this time her dream had nothing to do with that man.
Instead, she dreamed of the past, when she returned to the Wei family. The dream quickly passed through those four years, and when she turned around, she saw the Wei family members being thrown into prison.
Somehow she went to visit the Wei family.
In prison, Pang Shi was dying and couldn't utter a word, but when she saw her coming, she stared at her and seemed to be calling her a vixen and a beauty who brings disaster, and she wanted to cut her into pieces.
Zhu Yinluan watched coldly, listening to her intermittent cursing.
She was really tired of listening to it and didn't know what to do here, so she was about to leave.
But just as she was about to leave, Pang Shi in her dream actually used all her strength to crawl to the rusty cage, holding on to the cage tightly, saying that she had colluded with Shen Jingzhan to harm the Wei family, and if it weren't for her beauty, the Wei family wouldn't have ended up like this!
Pang Shi's face was so hideous that it was horrifying. Her voice was so miserable that it kept echoing in the cell. Blood began to drip from her hands and face. Zhu Yinluan was frightened awake.
She suddenly opened her eyes and found that it was already daytime.
My wrist felt cool, and when I looked up, I saw a handsome face.
The man frowned slightly, sat down beside her, and picked her up. Zhu Yinluan leaned in his arms, and her wrists were covered with the silk scarf again.
She wanted to ask when the imperial physician came, and whether Shen Jingzhan already knew that she was pregnant, but she didn't ask.
She couldn't say it. If she asked at this time, it would be very likely to be discovered by Shen Jingzhan, exposing the fact that Shen Kouyu knew medical skills.
Not only could she not ask or say anything, she also had to pretend that she didn't know either.
After the imperial physician took Zhu Yinluan's pulse, he bowed and congratulated the two, saying that Zhu Yinluan had been pregnant for nearly a month and the fetus was very stable.
"W-what?!" She pretended to be surprised, and her whole face was "shocked" to the extreme.
Then he looked at Shen Jingzhan.
What she wanted to see right now was Shen Jingzhan's expression. She wanted to know what Shen Jingzhan thought of her pregnancy.
When Zhu Yinluan saw the surprised look on Shen Jingzhan's face, she was stunned, because Shen Jingzhan didn't seem to have expected that she would be pregnant.
But soon, his surprised expression disappeared, and he smiled and said to her, "Luan'er is pregnant?"
His smile seemed to not reach his eyes, but only on the surface.
Seeing the man's expression, Zhu Yinluan realized that they were still in public. She forced a smile but really didn't know what to say.
He helped her lie down, tucked in the quilt for her, and asked the imperial physician for some details before sending her out.
During this time, Zhu Yinluan kept thinking, how should she ask Shen Jingzhan after bringing him back?
But Shen Jingzhan was also surprised by her pregnancy, so didn’t he do it on purpose?
Didn't he mean to go so deep, didn't he mean to stay so long, didn't he mean to use those positions to make her pregnant?
Zhu Yinluan was upset and surprised, and clutched the quilt tightly.
When she heard Shen Jingzhan's footsteps returning, she immediately let go of her hand and sat up.
"I……"
"How did I get pregnant?" she asked him.
Shen Jingzhan looked down at her.
His body was broad, and he looked like a small mountain when he stood in front of the bed, completely covering her and enclosing her in the shadow in front of him.
Zhu Yinluan subconsciously felt nervous and she moved to the side.
Shen Jingzhan also sat down at this time. He lowered his eyes and looked at her hand, as if he was thinking. In short, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but the curvature was not obvious.
His tone was gentle. "I asked the imperial physician, and he said that Luan'er's physique makes it easy to conceive, so...that's why she had a child so quickly."
Shen Jingzhan's words completely disrupted Zhu Yinluan's thoughts.
She originally wanted to ask him if he knew what was going on?
But she didn't expect that Shen Jingzhan would ask her first?
No, he went to ask the imperial physician first, but even if he asked the imperial physician, what was the difference between that and questioning her?
Isn't it still the same meaning?
What he meant was that he didn't know how she had a child, and thought she was lying to him?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yinluan sat up straighter and explained hurriedly, "I don't know what happened. I haven't been pregnant for many years in the Wei family. The imperial physician said..."
When she was at the Wei family, the imperial physician said that she would be easy to conceive and that there were no problems with her body... He also said the same thing later at the Shen family.
If Shen Jingzhan did not intervene, then it was because Wei Ruzhuo was in poor health and it was his fault.
Zhu Yinluan, "..."
In fact, at the beginning she also thought that her inability to have children might be due to Wei Ruzhuo.
But the doctor who had seen her didn't say anything. He just prescribed medicine for her and asked her to boil it into medicine. Pang Shi was always nagging at her and even brought up her mother, saying that her mother died not long after giving birth, because her body was unable to give birth, and she must have been the same.
After hearing this kind of talk so many times, she also felt that it would be difficult for her to have a child.
When she was at the Wei family, was the imperial physician telling the truth when he took her pulse?
It was only because Pang Shi was present that she didn't mention the name too much, or she wouldn't go too deep into Wei Ruzhuo. At that time, she was thinking about her elder sister, so she didn't think too much about it...
"I didn't know that I was actually easy to give birth to, and I didn't plan anything against you." Zhu Yinluan said frankly.
"Yeah, I understand." Shen Jingzhan comforted her, saying that she was pregnant and asked her not to get excited.
"The imperial physician said that although your pulse is stable, you still need to rest more and not be too emotional."
Zhu Yinluan was confused by the man's "turning the tables" strategy. After a long pause, she asked, "My mother-in-law asked the imperial physician to check my pulse earlier. You said you had arranged it in advance. At that time, you...you didn't know my pulse in advance?"
So, her recent abnormal behavior is also related to this?
She suspected that he set her up and made her pregnant.
Shen Jingzhan hid his emotions. He frowned and explained to her what happened that time.
"At that time, mother asked the imperial physician to come and see you. Someone at home sent me a message. I was in the Qinzheng Palace at the time and did not have time to listen to the details. I could only hurriedly instruct my subordinates to handle this matter, cover up mother's side, and take care of the people around her."
"Later, I only asked the imperial physician whether the problem had been solved, and did not ask in detail about Luan'er's physical condition."
Zhu Yinluan fell silent after listening to the man's words.
There was a moment of silence after he finished talking about the imperial physician.
There was a rare silence between the two of them.
After a while, the man turned his eyes away. His tone was still gentle, but it lacked the affectionate feelings that he usually had in his acting and became more businesslike.
"To be honest, I heard that Miss Zhu had been unable to give birth after marrying into the Wei family for four years, so I chose to welcome Miss Zhu into the family. At that time, I thought that a woman's body was a private matter after all, so I didn't investigate it too much..."
When Zhu Yinluan heard the "Miss Zhu" in the first half of his sentence, she subconsciously looked at his profile, which was strange and cold, and she actually felt a little aggrieved and lost in her heart.
She was really used to seeing Shen Jingzhan's gentleness and thoughtfulness in the past, but today he suddenly got away, and just a word of "Miss Zhu" made her nose sour?
Zhu Yinluan clenched the quilt with her other hand, "..."
Shen Jingzhan naturally noticed her movements from the corner of his eye, but he had to do it.
Because if she didn't act out this scene, her suspicion would only grow.
By then, if there is a huge storm, he might not be able to control it.
So he just pretended not to see it and continued, "This matter has already been settled, and it can't be entirely blamed on you."
"After all, you resisted me at first, consummating the marriage..."
The man paused, as if he had thought of something, and his brows were furrowed even more than before.
Zhu Yinluan followed his words and thought back to their wedding night. It seemed that she took the initiative to ask Shen Jingzhan to consummate the marriage? He rejected her?
is that so?
Her thoughts were in a mess at the moment and she could hardly remember what happened at that time.
Zhu Yinluan forced herself to calm down.
After thinking for a while, she remembered that it was indeed she who took the initiative to tell Shen Jingzhan that they might as well consummate the marriage.
But before that, she had resisted, and even asked in fear if they would consummate their marriage. At that time, he also asked her if she didn't want to consummate the marriage with him?
Shen Jingzhan suddenly changed his face today. Could it be that he thought that she... was retreating to advance, and wanted to retreat to welcome? She deliberately set a trap for him?
She didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
Shen Jingzhan actually began to suspect that she had bad intentions.
She has no reason to do that.
Having said that, she couldn't help but think about this matter from Shen Jingzhan's perspective.
Shen Jingzhan suspected that she had impure motives and bad intentions, which was completely... reasonable.
Because who is Shen Jingzhan?
The prince of a marquisate, a close minister of the emperor, and a handsome and perfect person, many people covet him.
And she... was kicked out of her parents' home, had nothing, and was also involved in a lawsuit.
If she planned for Shen Jingzhan to have a child in order to secure her position as the Crown Prince's wife, it would be understandable.
But she didn't do that at all.
Now, what should she say to make Shen Jingzhan believe it.
Could it be that when he went out, he asked the imperial physician and learned that the imperial physician had taken her pulse at the Wei family and told her that there was nothing wrong with her body?
How is she going to prove herself?
"I--" She felt that she had to say something. She couldn't let Shen Jingzhan slander her. She had never plotted against him, nor did she want to use the child to secure her position as the Crown Prince's wife.
But just as he was about to speak, Shen Jingzhan interrupted, “It’s okay, just leave it at that. There’s no point in talking about the past. I was also wrong.”
He finally turned his face around, and a bit of tenderness returned to his expression. "Now that you have a child, take good care of it. You should have a good rest."
After saying this, the man tucked in her bedding and stood up to leave.
Zhu Yinluan reached out and grabbed him.
He stopped and didn't turn around, but his eyes had already fallen to where she was holding his wrist.
Zhu Yinluan felt very uncomfortable when he looked at her.
Shen Jingzhan had never been so resistant to her in the past, but now...it was as if he had changed overnight.
In a disguised way, she actually felt the same feeling as when Shen Jingzhan came to pull her and she dodged him some time ago.
Besides being embarrassed, was he also feeling lost and even hurt?
Will it?
No way.
He seemed to be awake all the time. When he learned that she was pregnant, he thought she was scheming, so he called her Miss Zhu today.
Before Zhu Yinluan let go of his hand, she said to him, "Don't leave yet. I have something to tell you."
The man did not answer. Zhu Yinluan held his hand for a while, then let go.
"I...I didn't plot against you." This was her first words.
Zhu Yinluan sat up and looked up at the man's slightly cold profile.
"I know... I have no evidence at this moment, and you won't believe anything I say."
"But you have been with me for some time, so you should have some idea of what kind of person I am, right?"
She could only hope for this, although it was not very convincing. After all, she and Shen Jingzhan had not been married for long, and he was always busy in the past. The two of them were more in harmony at night.
But... Zhu Yinluan no longer wanted to mention what happened at night. After all, she had a child rashly, and Shen Jingzhan suspected that she was plotting against him.
What else could she say at this moment?
"Listen to Lan..."
She subconsciously called him by his courtesy name, and her voice softened a little.
"To me, you are not only an ally, but also my benefactor. I have always been grateful to you. Without you, I might have been driven out of the capital by my family, or even beheaded."
"I will repay a favor. You've been so good to me, helping me so many times and always saving me from danger. How could I possibly plot against you?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't do it." Zhu Yinluan didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt so wronged and sad that her nose was sore and she wanted to cry.
But I didn't want to cry in front of Shen Jingzhan.
So he held the quilt tightly and forced himself to hold it back, lowered his head slightly, his eyes touched her belly, and said,
"…This child came unexpectedly and shouldn't have existed to cause you any trouble. Now, while no one else has noticed and only you and I know about it, you should shut up the imperial physician and bring me a dose of Luozi Decoction. I'll be fine after taking it."
She made up her mind, this was the best way.
Zhu Yinluan only felt a cloud of mist in front of her eyes. Was it tears? She couldn't cry.
She even began to regret in her heart, thinking that she should not have married into the Shen family?
She was so confused that she didn't know what to say.
After a while, the man who was about to leave sat down and sat next to her?
Zhu Yinluan didn't dare to look over, she only felt a shadow at the edge of the bed covering her.
Why hasn't he left yet?
Do you really want to abort this child?
Zhu Yinluan was waiting for Shen Jingzhan's next words, feeling a little nervous.
If Shen Jingzhan really said no, what should she do?
That being said, she really didn't want the child. If it came to that, she would still feel sad when she asked herself.
But she didn't expect that Shen Jingzhan didn't mention the child, but just asked her,
"Luan'er thinks of me as an ally and a benefactor, and is grateful that I have helped you many times. Apart from that, is there nothing else?"
Anything else?
What else did he want to ask? Did she have any plans to plot against him?
But she felt that Shen Jingzhan's words didn't seem to mean that.
"Luan'er, don't you have any feelings for me?"
