Chapter 77 Chapter 77 "What did Luan'er know?"...
When she thought of those things and his true face, Zhu Yinluan felt like her whole body was shaking.
Is he going to act with her again when he comes back?
Speaking of acting, at first she thought that both she and he were acting, but she didn't expect that under Shen Jingzhan's mask, there was still an imperceptible mask.
Once this mask is torn off, will his true face appear? Will he have other masks?
If Princess Feng'an hadn't been "meddling", even if she had noticed something fishy, she would have remained in the dark for the rest of her life.
Because Shen Jingzhan is extremely powerful, and this situation was set up several years ago, even Jiaohui, whom she trusts very much, was sent by him. What else is there to say?
When she thought of the trust and reliance she had placed on Jiaohui, Zhu Yinluan felt as if her heart was burning with anger. She was shocked and angry, but when all these emotions came together, she began to feel terrified, panicked, and afraid.
It seemed as if she had never known Shen Jingzhan. What was he planning? If it was her, what was there to plan? She didn't understand.
The little maid quickly responded, "We have sent someone there, and they will be back soon."
"Why are you still suffering from morning sickness after three months?" Mrs. Meng, who was following nearby, came forward and asked.
When Zhu Yinluan heard the news that Shen Jingzhan had returned, her mind was in a mess and she couldn't help vomiting again. She resisted the needle inserted by the imperial physician and pushed it out a little.
The imperial physician quickly asked the eunuch next to him to get some tranquilizing pills, removed all the silver needles again, and asked the maid to wipe the dirt off Zhu Yinluan's lips first.
Before the doctor could speak, Princess Feng'an had seen through his intentions and said directly, "There are too many people and the smell is mixed. Let Madam Shen and the doctor stay here. The ladies and young ladies should follow me out first."
Princess Feng'an spoke, and everyone had nothing to say and could only leave.
Madam Meng comforted Madam Shen with a few words before walking away.
After the people left, Mrs. Shen followed the doctor's advice, opened the window, and burned calming incense in the inner room.
The little maid had already wiped Zhu Yinluan's lips clean, and even wiped her hands and feet herself.
Seeing her pale face and absent-mindedness, Madam Shen really didn't dare to say a word.
After the imperial physician gave Zhu Yinluan acupuncture, he saw that she finally stopped vomiting.
Then he gave a look to the old lady next to him, asking her to interrogate the little maid who followed Zhu Yinluan.
After the person left, Zhu Yinluan took some tranquilizing pills and had the acupuncture treatment again. Only then did her face gradually regain some color.
It's just that he vomited so violently just now that at this moment, he was still a little dazed, leaning back and not saying a word.
The old mother came in and whispered in Mrs. Shen’s ear.
After listening, Mrs. Shen lowered her voice, “Did you really not hear anything?”
The old lady shook her head, "No."
Madam Shen frowned. So what happened? Could it be that Zhu was suffering from morning sickness for no reason?
After the imperial physician finished the acupuncture, Zhu Yinluan smelled the calming incense, took a tranquilizing pill, and fell asleep.
Afraid of waking up Zhu Yinluan, Madam Shen took the imperial physician out and asked him what caused Zhu Yinluan's illness.
The imperial physician was about to speak when footsteps were heard outside. He looked up and saw Shen Jingzhan, who walked in with big strides, his whole body was cold, and before he spoke, he already made people subconsciously afraid.
Princess Feng'an touched her nose and retreated into the crowd.
Madam Shen and the imperial physician stood up immediately.
Shen Jingzhan asked the imperial physician, how is Zhu Yinluan?
The imperial physician said quickly, "The young lady is vomiting due to anger. I have given her tranquilizing pills and acupuncture. Now let her rest more, comfort herself, take good care of herself, and pay attention to her diet. It is best not to make her unhappy."
"Impatient and angry?" Madam Shen was puzzled. "At the wedding banquet today, she went to the main hall in the morning and was fine. What happened?"
Shen Jingzhan's gaze shifted from the imperial physician to the crowd of concubines not far away.
Princess Feng'an instantly felt the other party's cold and chilling gaze falling on her side.
Even though she was nervous and even a little scared, Princess Feng'an still had a meaningful smile on her face.
She did not avoid Shen Jingzhan’s sight.
Having just witnessed Zhu Yinluan vomiting like that, even though the imperial physician said that she was now stable and asked her to rest more, Madam Shen still couldn't feel at ease.
"Please ask the imperial physician to stay for a few more days." Madam Shen said that she was worried that something might happen to Zhu Yinluan's health again.
The imperial physician did not refuse and stayed.
There were guests at home today, so Mrs. Shen didn't stay too long and went out to entertain the guests. She left Shen Jingzhan here to watch over the guests, saying that if there was anything, she would send someone to call them.
Shen Jingzhan sat on the edge of Zhu Yinluan's bed, looking at her pale face, even though it had a little blood color, "......"
Zhu Yinluan slept very restlessly this time.
She was dreaming about the past, with many complicated scenes. She knew it was a dream because the scenes in the dream were repeated many times.
The dreams she had in the Wei family and the dreams she had in the Shen family.
The dream scenes kept flashing in and out of her mind, there were intertwined figures, conversations, talking voices, low voices, and joy, all kinds of complicated and chaotic things.
After putting everything together, she slept uneasily until she heard a gentle call in her ears.
Luan'er... Luan'er...
Who is it? Who is calling her? Sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry.
Who was it? The voice sounded familiar to her, yet strange at the same time.
"Luan'er..."
The sound was getting closer and closer, and Zhu Yinluan suddenly opened her eyes.
She gasped for breath and saw a handsome face approaching. Zhu Yinluan said, "......"
It took only a moment for her to calm down. She gradually distinguished between dreams and reality, and thought of some of the things she learned first. She suddenly felt that the man next to her was very terrifying.
She avoided his hand that was about to wipe her hands with a handkerchief.
Shen Jingzhan frowned as he watched her intense reaction, his eyelashes twitching slightly, but he quickly hid the emotions in his eyes, "... Luan'er, what's wrong?"
His voice was as gentle as ever. If Zhu Yinluan had felt soft and moved before, now she only felt fear, and the fear began to run up her spine again.
"I-I'm fine."
Her lips trembled as she avoided Shen Jingzhan's approach. She leaned over and burrowed into the quilt, not daring to show even her head and hair. Even though she was curled up in the soft quilt, Zhu Yinluan couldn't help trembling when she thought of those things.
But she also knew very well that she couldn't tremble. If she trembled, Shen Jingzhan would notice something was wrong, so she simply bit her lips and kept silent, becoming more and more at a loss.
She hasn't figured out how to face Shen Jingzhan yet.
Now that she is in the Shen family again, she has almost nowhere to go. What can she do?
Divorce?
She still has Shen Jingzhan's flesh and blood in her belly, can she withstand a divorce?
Speaking of this child, it was also his plan, right?
At first, she racked her brains, consulted the imperial physician, and tested his intentions, but he turned the tables on her and suppressed her, making her feel guilty.
Shen Jingzhan is really amazing.
He clearly knew that she could have children, and even easily conceive. Speaking of this matter, Zhu Yinluan recalled the "abnormalities" of Shen Jingzhan on the bed a long time ago.
He often grabbed her waist.
Not to mention that he entered extremely deeply, he even put a soft pillow behind her waist. Even after they were over, he refused to come out for a long time.
Including the postures he often used, they were not her illusions at all. They were either accidents or he did them on purpose.
His goal was to make her pregnant.
That's why she became pregnant not long after marrying into the Shen family.
Shen Jingzhan's scheming and scheming were so deep and cunning that they were all-pervasive and extremely terrifying.
He calculated everything, and almost everything about her was calculated by him.
Now....what does Shen Jingzhan want?
The more Zhu Yinluan thought about it, the more her emotions fluctuated.
Divorce?
Now, if she really divorced Shen Jingzhan and left the Shen family, would she have a place to stay?
If it was Shen Jingzhan, the Shen family would show mercy and let her go, but if she left the Shen family, would the Wei family and the Zhu family let her go?
There are "jackals, tigers and leopards" everywhere outside, and she has not forgotten the predicament of being forced into a desperate situation before. If she leaves the Shen family now, she will probably live an even worse life than before.
Speaking of the Yayin Cottage where she lived before, it was Jiaohui who bought it, and it might also be the work of Shen Jingzhan.
Zhu Yinluan shrugged his shoulders.
Shen Jingzhan lowered his eyes and watched her every move, thinking about her abnormality.
Was it because of the nightmare or because she was afraid of him?
She had avoided it before, but her reaction was not as big as this time. She was completely awake and even crawled into the quilt.
It didn't seem like she was avoiding her dream, but more like she was avoiding him.
Shen Jingzhan looked at it for a while and walked out quietly.
It was already late at night. After he arrived at the study, he questioned the people around him.
The subordinate frowned and said, "We haven't found any clues. Princess Feng'an has already sent people to inquire, but they haven't found anything. We only heard that when the young lady was in the front hall today, two noble ladies said some unpleasant things behind her back."
"It was at the Shen family's wedding banquet. The young lady didn't make a fuss or say much, but Princess Feng'an's people drove the two out. They were caught by the young lady under the corridor. Later, the young lady went to Miss Yu's room and saw Princess Feng'an. She spoke to her for a few words. It should be about this matter."
"Oh, right, the young lady was not feeling well at that time, so Princess Feng'an made her a calming soup. After drinking it for a while, the young lady still felt uncomfortable and vomited it out. Then...Princess Feng'an sent someone to invite the imperial physician."
"Calming decoction?" Shen Jingzhan repeated these three words.
The subordinate said, "The tranquilizing soup has not been finished yet. I have asked someone to take it to the imperial physician for a check. The imperial physician said that everything is fine with the tranquilizing soup."
“Do you want to see it yourself?” Shen Jingzhan also knew some pharmacology, and his subordinates knew it very well.
Shen Jingzhan asked someone to bring it up. He took a look and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with it. His subordinates then took it down again.
Shen Jingzhan asked again, "How long did she stay with Princess Feng'an today?"
"It's been about half an hour." said the subordinate.
A cold smile appeared on the handsome man's face, "Half an hour?"
"Yes." The subordinate said, "The young lady didn't have any maids with her at the time, and Princess Feng'an's maids were her personal servants, so they couldn't get any information."
After a moment, Shen Jingzhan ordered, "Go check what Feng'an did some time ago."
"Look at the long term, don't be too restricted to the next few months, especially her lovers, look at where they are employed."
"Your Excellency is far-sighted. I will do it right away."
After the people left, Shen Jingzhan sat in silence for a long time. There were not many candles lit in the study. His elegant silhouette was hidden in the dimness, making him look more profound and charming, but also dangerous.
Zhu Yinluan hadn't heard any sound for a long time. Just when she thought Shen Jingzhan had gone out and was about to come out for some fresh air, she heard a faint sigh in her ears.
It was his voice, she could tell it even through the covers.
Because Shen Jingzhan's voice is so deep and pleasant that few people can compare to it.
"How long are you going to hide like this?"
His question was very strange. Zhu Yinluan pondered in her heart, wondering if Shen Jingzhan already knew something.
But if he knew, would his voice still be so gentle?
After thinking it over, she quickly made a decision in her heart that it was not appropriate to tear everything apart with Shen Jingzhan at this moment.
Because Shen Jingzhan was in the dark and she was in the light.
Now that they know everything, she is in the dark and he is in the light.
Let's see what else he is planning.
After making up her mind, Zhu Yinluan took a deep breath and slowly got out of bed.
She felt the man's gaze and dared not say a word.
The whole person was a little restrained and a little nervous.
Shen Jingzhan sat down next to her, and just as he was about to touch her, he noticed that she had subconsciously moved a little further inside.
He watched her movements.
Zhu Yinluan also realized her avoidance. She stumbled and explained to Shen Jingzhan, "I had a nightmare and it took me a long time to come back to my senses, so... that's why it happened."
Shen Jingzhan looked at her profile for a while.
Zhu Yinluan also felt his gaze, and she wasn't sure if it was because she knew these things, but she always felt that Shen Jingzhan was not as easy to fool as before.
Did he learn something during the days she rested and slept?
Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but think.
If Shen Jingzhan didn't know something, why would he look at her like this?
Was his "abnormality" due to her avoidance, or was it because he also knew something?
"Where is Princess Feng'an?"
Shen Jingzhan was about to speak, but when he heard her words, he paused, and soon, the dark color in his eyes returned to normal.
"Why did Luan'er ask Princess Feng'an as soon as she woke up? I didn't even know when Luan'er became so familiar with Princess Feng'an?"
Shen Jingzhan said this, but his tone was very gentle.
He helped her sit up.
This time, Zhu Yinluan did not resist Shen Jingzhan, but Shen Jingzhan could feel the stiffness in her movements.
She resisted him invisibly.
Everything was fine this morning in the main hall. She would blush and avoid his touch, lower her head timidly, and urge him to get busy in a low voice.
We were just separated for an afternoon, and it turned out like this when I came back.
If it was really a nightmare, how could it make sense?
Shen Jingzhan knew it but didn't expose it.
When I heard that Zhu Yinluan had woken up, I found that various kinds of fine porridge and side dishes had been prepared outside.
The small table has been moved up. Zhu Yinluan cannot get up for the time being and can only lean on it.
Shen Jingzhan fed her, and she said, "I can do it myself."
It's alienated resistance again.
Chen Jingzhan looked at her, "Even if Luan'er wants to be strong, you should take care of your body, right? When you get better, you can be stubborn with your husband, okay?"
The man spoke softly. If it were before, Zhu Yinluan would definitely feel warm in her heart, but now she felt very cold and she was scared.
Until now, after waking up for a long time, she didn't dare to look up at Shen Jingzhan.
She couldn't face Shen Jingzhan's face.
He is so handsome and outstanding that no one in the entire capital can surpass him.
The more handsome he is, the more fascinating he looks.
This was how she had been deceived and lied to in the past.
Therefore, she didn't dare to look at Shen Jingzhan at all.
Since he said so, Zhu Yinluan couldn't say anything more and could only sit down and let Shen Jingzhan feed her.
Smelling the fresh scent coming from the man, Zhu Yinluan subconsciously held her breath and didn't dare to take another sniff.
She was really scared.
The pastries, porridge and cakes were all made with great care and tasted quite good. Even though Zhu Yinluan had no appetite, she ate a few more bites because she had vomited so badly today.
He said he ate a few more bites, but in fact he didn't eat much.
Shen Jingzhan coaxed her to eat more, but Zhu Yinluan still shook her head.
Afraid that it would backfire and she would vomit it out again, Shen Jingzhan did not force her, but only asked her to tell him anytime if she was hungry.
Zhu Yinluan cleaned her mouth and then noticed that it was already late outside.
I guess Shen Jingzhan is going to get on the bed too.
Now that she and Shen Jingzhan were sleeping together, it was really hard for her to fall asleep.
She looked outside only after Shen Jingzhan stood up, and saw the tall and straight figure of a man flashing behind the screen.
Even if it was just a back view, it was still possible to tell that Shen Jingzhan had broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
At this moment, she looked at him, but she couldn't have any romantic thoughts in her mind. Even if she accidentally thought of those...things, she didn't blush at this moment, but just felt scared.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yinluan even thought that maybe he had also made arrangements for the marriage consummation.
Did he use some other means to make her addicted to him, to like being kissed by him, and to like having sex with him?
It's impossible to explain all of this clearly.
The deeper she dug, the more horrified she felt.
So after Shen Jingzhan came back from washing his hands, Zhu Yinluan said to him, "I'm not feeling well today, can you please sleep somewhere else, my husband?"
She didn't dare look at Shen Jingzhan, and lowered her eyes to look at his waist.
Hanging on it was the jade pendant she had made for him.
The sweet love they had been having just happened yesterday, but she felt as if it was a lifetime ago, like an unreal dream.
Not only the past, but even everything that happened before, she felt like it was a dream.
It was indeed a dream. If it wasn’t a dream, how could so many things happen?
If this wasn't a dream, could a human have come up with these plans?
The planning even started a few years ago.
At that time, how could she have thought it was Shen Jingzhan? There had never been any contact between the two of them, and she didn't even know Shen Jingzhan.
If it weren't for the hard evidence that Princess Feng'an produced, even if someone told her that Shen Jingzhan did all this, she wouldn't dare to believe it.
"Luan'er is having a nightmare, I should stay by her side to take care of her, how can I leave?" He sat down.
He originally wanted to sit on the edge of the bed, but before he sat down, Zhu Yinluan had already started to dodge.
Shen Jingzhan looked at her cheek. Although it was hidden very well and he couldn't see the look in her eyes at all, he could still see that her invisible resistance was spreading.
What's more, he knew her very well.
Not a single clue could escape his eyes.
But if she doesn't want to say it now, then don't force her.
Maybe she knew something.
Or, know everything.
There was a silence in the man's eyes, he lowered his eyes and could see nothing. Looking at him at this moment, all one could see was his gentleness and clarity.
Even though it was so harmless, Zhu Yinluan didn't dare to look at it any more.
She kept her eyes downcast.
Shen Jingzhan sat on the round stool, leaving a certain distance between them.
Zhu Yinluan explained to him, "Today... I am just a little tired. I was really scared in my dream, so I want to sleep alone. Can you please sleep with me, my husband?"
She couldn't find any good excuses, so she could only pray to Shen Jingzhan.
The man didn't insist too much. He said gently, "Luan'er has begged me so much, how can I not agree?"
As he spoke, the man reached out his hand.
Zhu Yinluan saw it out of the corner of her eye. Her expression didn't change, but her inner hand subconsciously clenched the quilt.
She thought it was perfect and no one noticed.
But Shen Jingzhan was really tall, and even when he sat down, he could still see her movements.
"......"
Shen Jingzhan withdrew his tentative hand, but in the end he did not touch her. He smiled and said, "Then I will stay in the side room. If Luan'er has any problems, just call me."
Shen Jingzhan's courtyard is very large, and there is also a side room inside.
It can be considered as next door, Shen Jingzhan can indeed sleep next door.
Zhu Yinluan nodded and said, "Husband, please go quickly. It's getting late today and you are tired today. Go and have a rest. There is a maid guarding here."
She urged him to go, but looked up at him.
But when she met the man's deep and handsome face, Zhu Yinluan's expression began to flicker and avoid.
They looked at each other for only a moment. She really couldn't pretend to be calm under Shen Jingzhan's gaze. Her heart was still in a mess and she couldn't look him in the face.
Her fear did not dissipate, and the panic was spreading.
Especially when she was close to Shen Jingzhan and looked at Shen Jingzhan, she felt that he was extremely unfathomable.
I just moved away and didn't dare to say anything.
She didn't know whether Shen Jingzhan had seen through her poor acting skills, but she really tried her best.
She still needs to calm down, want to be alone, think about her future plans and future plans.
What should she do?
There is no way to cover up this matter.
"Okay." The man nodded, but after taking only two steps, he turned back.
Zhu Yinluan's relaxed heart couldn't help but start to lift again.
He looked at her fair face and asked her, "Did Luan'er know something?"
