Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Picking food from her mouth.
What if he wanted to bring her together with Shen Jingzhan?
Chen Kouyu also realized that she and Shen Jingzhan had probably reconciled their past grievances.
Why do you need to say all this in the name of rest?
Although Chen Kouyu is smart in her work, she is too straightforward and cannot keep things in her heart.
After much thought, Zhu Yinluan finally decided not to alert the enemy. She suppressed her doubts, agreed, and said that she would rest more and let her rest assured.
Chen Kouyu nodded repeatedly and reminded her again and again to stay out of the house. It was winter now and the weather was cold. It would be painful if she caught a cold.
Speaking of Zhao Han, Zhu Yinluan thought about what happened before and asked Ming Ya but couldn't get anything out of her.
At this moment, Shen Jingzhan was talking to Shen Kouyu's husband, so she took the opportunity to let Shen Kouyu look at her again.
"What's wrong with sister-in-law?" She had just checked Zhu Yinluan's pulse, which was stable and her complexion was also good. She didn't know why she needed to check her pulse again.
Zhu Yinluan did not keep the secret too long and told Chen Kouyu that she had caught a cold many years ago and after being ill for some time, she could no longer remember many things. However, when she saw things and people from the past, she felt vaguely familiar with them, but she could not remember anything.
Chen Kouyu listened to her carefully, felt her pulse, and asked her about her symptoms.
"When did sister-in-law catch the cold? How long has she been ill? What kind of medicine did she take? Do you still remember these things, sister-in-law?"
Zhu Yinluan said that she was still in the boudoir. At that time, she had already reached the age of 15. "I was ill for about half a month, on and off. Afterwards, my body was weak and I had to recuperate for several more months."
"I can't remember what herbs I took, but they were just some common leftover herbs that could drive away the cold. Because my stepmother was very strict at that time, I didn't have much money, so I couldn't buy too many good herbs."
The doctor would say that a dose of medicine should be boiled for three days at most, but she would boil it for five or six days, and only change it when the medicine became very bland.
Chen Kouyu comforted her after hearing this, and then continued to ask, "When did sister-in-law find out that you had lost your memory? Have you forgotten everything before? Or have you only forgotten some of the things?"
Chen Kouyu asked the point, and Zhu Yinluan said, "I didn't forget everything, I just lost part of my memory. My memory became much worse after I recovered from the illness. After I saved up some money, I went to see a doctor, and he said it was okay."
As long as your brain is not damaged, these are minor problems. Without a lot of money, how can you withstand such repeated actions?
So Zhu Yinluan didn't look at it and went back to the Zhu family. Later, when she finally saved some money, she didn't think of going to look at it because the matter had already stabilized.
"Then how did sister-in-law feel the sense of familiarity later?" Chen Kouyu remembered what she had just said and repeated the question, "Did she come into contact with people and events in the past? Did the sense of familiarity emerge spontaneously?"
"Yeah." Zhu Yinluan nodded, "Besides that, I also dream, but I can never tell the difference between dreams and reality, so my consciousness is always blurry, even I can't tell the difference."
"Did sister-in-law consult an imperial physician later?" Chen Kouyu hesitated for a moment, "Have you told brother about it?"
Zhu Yinluan shook her head, "No."
"I believe in your medical skills. I was planning to visit you and ask you to help me."
Chen Kouyu smiled affirmatively, "That's right, my medical skills are in no way inferior to those of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital."
"Yes." Zhu Yinluan said she was amazing. "Before my aunt came, my grandmother had already told us that you had prescribed a new medicine for her, and my grandmother's health has improved a lot."
Chen Kouyu smiled shyly, and then asked Zhu Yinluan about some details she recalled.
Zhu Yinluan naturally did not say anything about the dream filled with spring colors, she just picked and chose and made some changes.
She said that the people and things that appeared in her dreams were ferocious and violent, but the people she came into contact with were gentle as jade, and she couldn't tell the two apart, so she always felt like there was a fog in front of her eyes.
Seeing Zhu Yinluan nervous, Chen Kouyu couldn't help but tease her and said in a low voice, "How come this is the same as saying brother?"
"Sister-in-law has been married for some time. Do you know how fierce my brother is outside? He is only gentle and patient with my sister-in-law, and considerate to her. If it were someone else..."
"Princess Feng'an is still scared by her brother and is hiding in the Queen Mother's palace."
Hearing this, Chen Kouyu seemed to have gone to see Princess Feng'an, but Princess Feng'an should not have told Chen Kouyu, right? If she had, Chen Kouyu's expression would have changed when she mentioned this.
"What's the matter?" Afraid that she guessed wrong, Zhu Yinluan asked tentatively.
"Nothing, it's just that Princess Feng'an got close to sister-in-law last time. You had a miscarriage, and although she helped, she's still afraid that brother will come after her, right?"
Zhu Yinluan wanted to ask Chen Kouyu about the conflict between Princess Feng'an and Shen Jingzhan at this time, but on second thought, she decided not to ask. It was more important to investigate the past. Nothing else was as important as this matter.
She changed the subject and said, "Of course it's not your brother."
Chen Kouyu groaned, "I'm not talking about my brother, I just think that my brother is this kind of person."
Fearing that she would make more mistakes if she spoke too much, Zhu Yinluan asked her if she could still be cured? Is there any medicine that could help her recover her previous memory?
Speaking of business, Chen Kouyu's expression returned to seriousness, "Sister-in-law, can't you tell the difference yourself?"
"I can't tell. Everything in the dream is very real, but I feel like there is no trace to be found, so..."
"Is there a possibility that I lost my memory before because someone drugged me?" Shen Jingzhan was able to plan to bring down the Wei and Zhu families a few years ago, so could those drugs she took be his doing?
Zhu Yinluan once had such a dark thought, but on second thought, she felt that she was being too serious.
Putting aside those dreams that were hard to tell true from false, ever since she met Shen Jingzhan, even if it was acting and trying to deceive her, Shen Jingzhan had always been considerate and secretly helped her.
If we go by age, Shen Jingzhan was very busy at that time. Where was he? Was he taking the imperial examination?
So, this thought was suppressed by her soon after it came up.
Chen Kouyu was silent for a while, "There is a medicine that can cause people to lose their memory. This medicine is very strong and has strong side effects. I haven't figured out what the problem is with your pulse for now."
"It's possible that you caught a cold and had a high fever, and you became confused and forgot some things. This is also possible."
Zhu Yinluan, "Is that certain?"
Chen Kouyu frowned, "It's been many years, sister-in-law, you can't remember the herbs you used at that time, and I can't be sure either, after all, it's been a long time."
"Let's talk about this dream. It may not be true."
"Is it fake?" Zhu Yinluan asked.
"As the years go by, memories will gradually become blurred, even distorted, and confusion will occur. The difference is so big that I think it is fake."
"Are all sister-in-law's dreams filled with frightening memories?"
Chen Kouyu's question stumped Zhu Yinluan. She thought about it and realized that it was not the case.
It was just that he was cruel, violent and brutal on the bed.
But to say that it is all cruel, brutal and violent is not entirely true.
In the dream, she was so scared and the other party was very strong.
She couldn't bear what the other party asked her to bear.
Therefore, that terrifying feeling remained in her heart and gradually changed. She decided that it was something she didn't want to recall, something terrifying and frightening.
Seriously speaking, apart from these unbearable and tiring things.
There was also the man's gentle coaxing and kissing in her ears.
Stripping away the passion and desire, his voice was deep and gentle.
If he just wanted to bully or possess her, there's no need to waste all this effort. He just needs to achieve his goal and make himself happy.
But the person in the dream also wanted to take care of her, and even stopped to coax her several times, but because neither of them was very skilled, yes, they were awkward, that's why she ended up in such a crying situation.
So what Chen Kouyu said is actually very right.
Seeing Zhu Yinluan lost in thought, Chen Kouyu did not disturb her.
After a while, Zhu Yinluan looked over, and Chen Kouyu asked, "Sister-in-law, what did you think of?"
Zhu Yinluan didn't say anything. In her mind, she recalled the most harmonious scene in her past dream. At that time, she and the man were picking vegetables by the river, and she was the one teaching him how to do things.
The atmosphere between the two of them was harmonious and harmonious. In the dream, he did not have the aggressive temper he had on the bed, and he listened to her very much.
Beautiful and peaceful.
Are these true?
Zhu Yinluan did not answer Zhu Yinluan's words, but saw that the other party looked back and called him brother.
"What is Luan'er thinking about?" People from the Meng family came, and the servants came to Yunmei Hall to pass on the message. Shen Jingzhan stood up and came to call her.
Zhu Yinluan just came back to her senses, and before she could figure out how to reply to Shen Jingzhan, Chen Kouyu had already helped her to evade the question, "These are all private conversations between us girls, do you still need to ask this, brother?"
"It's too oppressive."
Zhu Yinluan quickly reacted, "Well, I can't say."
She was serious, and although the emotion flashing in her pupils had disappeared, he had already caught it just now.
Shen Jingzhan pinched her cheek and said, “Okay, I won’t ask.”
As they were talking, the old lady beside Mrs. Shen came in and said that the front hall was urging them to come over quickly.
After saying goodbye to Old Lady Shen, everyone moved on.
Zhu Yinluan lowered her eyes and looked at the cloak ribbon that Shen Jingzhan tied for her when she stood up.
The man's slender jade-like fingers shuttled through it, tying it into a beautiful shape, better than any tied by the maids for her.
How come he knows all these secrets?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yinluan secretly glanced at the man, but unexpectedly met his gaze which was fixed on her.
They didn't speak to each other, but Zhu Yinluan clenched her hands hidden under her cloak.
"......"
Before I officially entered the front hall, I could already hear the laughter coming from when Madam Shen and Madam Meng were talking.
I heard from Madam Shen that the Meng family had already given a lot of gifts as return gifts before, but today when their daughter visited the Shen family, she actually brought so many?
There are so many of them, it is no less than the festival for proposing marriage.
Ming Ya had inquired about the Meng family and heard that Madam Meng's ancestors were merchants in Yangzhou and even had their own business name. They were big names in the Chamber of Commerce. There had been no news about them in recent years and I thought they were no longer doing business. But today, seeing the Shen family's involvement, it was really...generous.
No matter how many there were, it was not as good as the scene when Shen Jingzhan took her to visit the Shi family.
The number of objects is almost the same, but there are still some differences among the objects.
The Meng family's worship ceremony was lavish, and the items that Shen Jingzhan prepared for her to support her were not only luxurious, but also quite lavish. Many things could only be enjoyed by using power.
Meng Yun was dressed gently and beautifully today, as charming as ever.
Seeing Shen Jingzhan coming over, she immediately looked over, but she was very well-behaved, not shy and timid like she was that day when she had dinner at the Shen family. However, despite the rules, Zhu Yinluan still detected a hint of loneliness.
Meng Yun stepped forward and greeted them.
She asked about Zhu Yinluan's health and talked to her.
The elders and relatives from the Shen and Meng families nearby were watching. In addition to the people from these two families, there were also ladies from other families who were on good terms with Zhu Yinluan. Zhu Yinluan had met them all and had already performed the formalities just now.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Mrs. Shen took the lead in calling Meng Yun over and explained to the Shen family's relatives that she seemed to be very compatible with them, so she decided to adopt her as her adopted daughter.
This had all been discussed long ago, and everyone took the opportunity to chat and echoed Mrs. Shen.
Zhu Yinluan was watching from the side, and Shen Jingzhan came over to ask her if she wanted to eat Qionghua cake?
She wondered how could there be one in the Shen family’s mansion?
He saw through her doubts and explained to her in a low voice that he had asked someone to buy it this morning. She did not eat it in the carriage, so he asked someone to take it to the small kitchen to steam it and wait for her to eat it.
The elders were talking. Zhu Yinluan felt that he was considerate, so her voice softened. She was just about to take the Qionghua cake he handed over and said she would eat it later.
But Shen Jingzhan had already fed it to her mouth.
Helplessly, Zhu Yinluan could only open her mouth and accept his thoughtful feeding.
"Is it delicious?" he asked.
"Yeah." Zhu Yinluan nodded.
The hairpin on her ear swayed slightly as she moved, and her lips were stained with pastry crumbs.
The man's eyes dimmed, and he reached out to touch her moving lips, picked it up, and then ate it.
Zhu Yinluan, who had no time to stop it, shouted, "!"
"......"
She blushed slightly, swallowed the cake hastily, and scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing!"
This happened in public, and she had seen many people looking at her.
Someone must have noticed Shen Jingzhan's actions just now.
With so many relatives and elders here, how could he...
Zhu Yinluan didn't want to say it too clearly at this juncture, as this sentence was already her limit.
"What's wrong with me?" The man supported his head with one hand, his posture was lazy, and he was tempting her to look at his face. He was simply a male fox.
Zhu Yinluan immediately looked away. She didn't want to look at his face. If she kept looking at him, she would not be able to get angry.
"If you keep doing this, I won't sit with you anymore."
This threat might be useful, because Zhu Yinluan had already noticed that Shen Jingzhan was going to say this would not happen again.
After being with Shen Jingzhan for a long time, I can actually tell what Shen Jingzhan is about to say.
She interrupted Shen Jingzhan and said that he always evaded her and said that he would not do it again. It was clearly a lie.
"I won't be fooled again."
"I just wanted to help Luan Er wipe the cake off her lips."
Zhu Yinluan couldn't help but retort, "Even if you want to do this, why don't you take the handkerchief?"
Not only did he not use a handkerchief, but he also picked up food from her mouth?
Even in front of people.
He is such a pervert.
Don't you have any shame in front of others?!
The fact was just as Zhu Yinluan had expected. The elders from the Shen and Meng families who noticed this scene all changed their expressions. Was this still the legendary Prince Shen who was not interested in women?
He actually performed such intimate actions with his wife in front of others. One can imagine how much he likes this Miss Zhu, the adopted daughter of the Shi family.
"I didn't mean it. I just wanted to assert my sovereignty." He was still talking to her in a low voice, with a hint of resentment in his cold expression.
"What?" Zhu Yinluan's attention was diverted by him, and her gaze moved away for a short while before moving back again.
"Luan'er always keeps a distance from me in front of others. If this continues, others will think that there is a rift between us. We must be more affectionate to stop others from talking about us. Who knows if there will be a second Meng after one of them leaves?"
"Next time it's not Meng, then it's Li, Wang or Zheng?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yinluan was really convinced.
Other women stick to their husbands, but it is not the case with him.
What's more, Miss Meng Yun has become his sister, so what else is there to say?
It’s fine to mention the Meng family, but also talk about the Li family, the Wang family, and the Zheng family.
He is really awesome.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Zhu Yinluan didn’t know what to say in response, so she simply ignored it.
She stopped eating the Qionghua cake and sat upright.
Meng Yun followed Madam Meng and served tea to Madam Shen, Lord Shen, and the elders of the Shen family.
My eyes were always on Zhu Yinluan and Shen Jingzhan.
She still felt unwilling in the first three days. After all, she had already passed the test of the Shen family and Zhu Yinluan, and in the end, she actually became a sworn sister.
It would be good to be related to the Shen family, but she didn't want it at all.
She liked Shen Jingzhan very much and longed for him to look at her. Just one look would make her feel overjoyed.
When I tossed and turned at night, I even thought about not recognizing my relatives in the Shen family.
In this case, Madam Shen will definitely feel that she owes the Meng family and will definitely mention her more often in the Shen family.
In this way, Shen Jingzhan also has some impression of her, right? Maybe he knows who she is, will take a look at her, and feel that he owes her deeply.
She can occupy a place in his heart.
But after seeing this today, she knew she was dreaming.
Even if I can't get him, it's good to leave a shadow in his heart.
Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, she knew that her dream was shattered.
Apart from Zhu Yinluan, Shen Jingzhan had no room for anyone else.
After thinking it through, Meng Yun no longer wasted too much time on serving tea to Zhu Yinluan and Shen Jingzhan.
After serving tea, the meal was served.
Zhu Yinluan followed Shen Jingzhan and sat down.
The people from the Meng family did not stay too long and left after breakfast.
Shen Jingzhan wanted to take Zhu Yinluan out, but Mrs. Shen was reluctant to let them stay at home.
Shen Jingzhan said after some time.
"Your sister is married, and you are not at home all day. Before, I had your wife to accompany me, but now no one is at home. Such a big house is so deserted, so miserable."
Zhu Yinluan was about to reply when Shen Jingzhan spoke before her, "Mother, are you putting pressure on me or Luan'er?"
Madam Shen sighed and said nothing, and glared at Shen Jingzhan, “What nonsense are you talking about again?”
"It's not stressful at all. I just miss you guys. Your father is busy too. I just want to have some fun."
"Mother wants to have some fun, so let the aunts in the backyard bring their children here to chat and play cards with you. I'm free these days, and I want to spend more time with Luan'er. I don't want others to disturb us."
Mrs. Shen couldn't argue with him, so she could only nod, "Okay, okay."
He gave me many instructions before leaving.
Not long after Zhu Yinluan left with Shen Jingzhan, they were blocked by someone in Xichun Lane on the way to the mansion.
It turned out to be the Zhu family’s carriage.
Zhu Yinluan thought in her heart that it was most likely her father.
As expected, as soon as the carriage stopped, her father jumped down in a hurry, but was stopped by the guards. He anxiously called her "good son-in-law" and called her by her maiden name.
"What's the matter, father-in-law?" Shen Jingzhan lifted the car curtain and looked over.
Although this place is secluded, there are still people and vendors here. Zhu Yinluan felt that it was not a good thing for Lord Zhu to stop people in the street, so it might not be appropriate to talk here. She pulled Shen Jingzhan's sleeve and signaled him.
But Shen Jingzhan patted the back of her hand and told her not to panic.
Zhu Yinluan was puzzled.
What exactly is he going to do?
At this moment, Zhu Yinluan thought of Chen Kouyu's dissuasion and the fact that the Shen family had tightened their door security after she returned there this time.
Thinking of this, she stayed still and remained silent.
"My dear son-in-law, I have followed your wishes and corrected the tablet of Luan'er's mother, had her included in our Zhu family's genealogy, and also written a divorce letter, dismissed Zhu, and asked her to return to the Zhu family. When will you help me solve this urgent problem?"
Lord Zhu knew that this was not the place to talk, but he had no other choice.
What face or substance? The people from the Inspection Office came with seals and blocked the door of Zhu’s house.
Mrs. Zhu brought Zhu Mingsheng and the divorce letter back to the Zhu family, and the Zhu family was about to be sealed off. He couldn't find Shen Jingzhan and was about to go to the Shen family, but ran into him here. Now he wanted to put pressure on Shen Jingzhan in the street.
The aristocratic families valued face the most, and he didn't believe that Shen Jingzhan would remain indifferent.
There has been a lot of buzz about him these days. If he has any concerns, he will definitely agree.
Lord Zhu had this idea in mind and was well prepared, but he didn't expect Shen Jingzhan to not be afraid at all. He asked him what was the matter, and he chattered on and on, but he still didn't change his expression.
"My dear son-in-law, I cannot return to the Zhu family now, and I have offended Prince Guo. You must protect me."
Unable to persuade Shen Jingzhan, he turned his attention to Zhu Yinluan. He raised his voice, "Luan'er!"
"I am your biological father. Now my father is in trouble and you stand by him and do nothing to save him. You will be tried in court!"
For the sake of his reputation, Shen Jingzhan must save him.
And he rescued him in the street.
More and more people gathered around, and Zhu Yinluan was protected by Shen Jingzhan behind her. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
But looking at Shen Jingzhan again, he was not only calm, but even didn't care. He was not afraid of angering Zhu Chang at all.
He called his father-in-law and said in a tone of adding insult to injury, "Father-in-law, you can't say that. Your affairs involve the court. I have been blessed by the emperor and serve him. I can't pretend to obey you but secretly disobey you."
Zhu Chang heard it and was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, "Chen Jingzhan, you!"
"You're destroying the bridge after crossing it?!"
"Father-in-law, I don't deserve your slander. It was your own idea to divorce your wife. What does it have to do with me and the Shen family?"
Zhu Yinluan saw Lord Zhu's angry face through the gap.
I couldn’t help but whispered into Shen Jingzhan’s ear, “It will do you no good to anger him!”
She clenched the man's big hand in worry.
