Chapter 94 If Line (1) If Zhou...
After treating Zhou Linjin's eyes for a few days, Chen Lianxiu didn't hold much hope. However, one day when she was pressing his Hegu acupoint, he suddenly grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong?" Shen Lianxiu was startled.
Zhou Linjin said: "I feel like I can see some light."
After hearing this, Shen Lianxiu opened his mouth but did not speak for a while.
Cold sweat instantly broke out in her palms, and she stood there frozen, not knowing what to do. It wasn't that she was completely terrified, otherwise she wouldn't have decided to treat Zhou Linjin's eyes. She would feel more at ease if she just let him go on like this, but she wasn't ecstatic at all.
She had imagined many times what Zhou Linjin would do to her after he saw clearly that she was not Chen Wuyu.
She gathered herself and unseen, unnoticedly pulled her hand out of Zhou Linjin's grasp. Then, she waved it in front of his eyes and asked, "Can you see now?"
Zhou Linjin frowned and shook his head, saying, "It seems I can't see it anymore, but I did see some shadows just now. It's definitely not an illusion."
Shen Lianxiu felt empty in her heart, as if she was a little disappointed. She added, "It probably won't be that fast. It will get better."
"Don't tell my sisters yet, especially mother. She doesn't know that you treated my eyes. Don't let her down." Zhou Linjin warned.
Shen Lianxiu said: "I know."
In the next few days, Chen Lianxiu continued to treat Zhou Linjin's eyes as before, but Zhou Linjin never said that he could see some light and shadow like he did that day. He just insisted that it was not his illusion, so Chen Lianxiu believed him.
However, Zhou Linjin originally thought that since he could see some shadows, it meant that he was getting better, and it wouldn't take much time. However, there has been no progress in the past few days, and he didn't even see the vague shadows that day, so he became a little discouraged.
It was fine during the day, Zhou Linjin didn't show anything, but at night, he asked Chen Lianxiu: "Will my eyes ever get better?"
"Why not?" Chen Lianxiu first asked back, then said, "My dear, don't be impatient. It's only been a few days."
Zhou Linjin put his arm around her shoulders, sighed, and said after a while, "Now I'm stuck at home, unable to do anything. Do I really have to rely on my ancestors for my entire life?"
Chen Lianxiu thought about it and said honestly: "There is nothing we can do about it..."
"If I had not been born in this Duke's Mansion, I'm afraid you would have to raise me." Zhou Linjin turned his head and tried to find Chen Lianxiu with his lifeless eyes, but he failed in the end and just landed on a certain point vaguely.
Chen Lianxiu couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his eye sockets.
"If that's the case, then I have no choice but to support you." She said with a half-serious smile.
Zhou Linjin didn't say anything for a while. Shen Lianxiu waited quietly for a while. She couldn't bear it any longer and raised her body slightly from his arms: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Linjin smiled and said, "I was wondering what a blind person can do. I can't really ask you to support me."
"Of course there is nothing much to do. Just wait for food and sleep." Chen Lianxiu spread his hands.
Zhou Linjin felt her moving, so he tightened his arms, locking her tightly, and said, "Be quiet, don't move."
Chen Lianxiu covered her mouth and yawned, saying listlessly, "Forget it, I'm going to sleep."
She made a move to pull the quilt that was half covering her body, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Zhou Linjin pressed down on her.
Now is different from before. Shen Lianxiu immediately understood what he meant, and a light blush appeared on her cheeks in an instant: "You..."
"Do what a blind man can do." Zhou Linjin's smile deepened.
He first touched her face gently with his hand, feeling out the approximate position, then he leaned down, and the delicate kisses fell like fine spring rain, lingering and tempting, making Shen Lianxiu feel weak all over.
She was quite happy to enjoy it, so she simply slid down and lay completely on the bed, letting him do what he wanted.
I don’t know how long it took, but when she was almost at the peak and feeling ecstatic, Chen Lianxiu suddenly felt that Zhou Linjin had stopped.
Her heart felt like it was hit hard by something, and for no reason, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
After asking, I looked at Zhou Linjin again, only to see that he had his eyes closed, one hand supporting his forehead, and he was already mumbling, "I... I seem to be able to see."
Chen Lianxiu shuddered, but couldn't get up immediately. She could only pull herself out little by little, then sat next to Zhou Linjin and supported him: "Really?"
Zhou Linjin did not answer.
Perhaps it was because of the heat just now, or perhaps it was because of the nervousness at the moment, a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on Chen Lianxiu's naked back, but she still grabbed the small clothes that had been thrown aside and put them on first. When she was about to get out of bed to call for help, Zhou Linjin stopped her again.
"A Yuan, why am I..." Chen Lianxiu saw beads of sweat on his forehead, "Your face, why am I..."
Chen Lianxiu gasped. She was suddenly at a loss, not knowing how to tell Zhou Linjin, not knowing how to respond to what was about to happen. Zhou Linjin had already seen her face, and he wasn't sure, perhaps thinking it was because he had just regained his sight that he was seeing things differently. But he had to open his eyes again, to see this unfamiliar face clearly.
Chen Lianxiu bit the tender flesh in her mouth hard, lifted Zhou Linjin's chin with her fingertips, and then pried open his hands that were rubbing his forehead and around his eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Erlang, you... open your eyes first and take a look."
With her words, Zhou Linjin seemed to have found a backbone. He finally raised his head and opened his eyes that had been tightly closed.
He saw a face that he had just seen, a face that was completely unfamiliar to him.
Although he had only met Shen Wuyu once, Zhou Linjin was sure that the face in front of him did not belong to Shen Wuyu.
He unconsciously leaned back until he hit the wall, then looked at her again and asked, "Who are you?"
***
At midnight, I wash my mind in the fast.
Almost everyone in the Duke Cheng's Mansion was alarmed at this moment. One reason was that Zhou Linjin suddenly regained his sight, and the other was that something strange happened in his room. Of course, most people came here because of the latter reason.
Mrs. Wu was old, so she was naturally the last to arrive. If it wasn't for something really important, no one would have disturbed her.
She was helped by Xiao Wu to sit down on the seat. She glanced at the people below and saw Zhou Linjin standing on one side with a cold face. There was no trace of joy of rebuilding the light on his face. Shen Lianxiu was standing on the other side with his head down. The expression on his face could not be seen clearly, but it could be vaguely seen that he was not crying.
Yang didn't know how to start, but little Wu had already spoken before her, saying to Wu: "Mother, this is really unheard of. How could such a thing happen? I really don't know if there is some misunderstanding, or if Erlang has been possessed by something, or is he possessed by a demon, and actually said that the wife he married is not Shen Wuyu!"
Wu had gotten up in the middle of the night and was exhausted. Little Wu's words were unclear, and before she could gather her thoughts, she heard Zhou Linjin pointing at Shen Lianxiu standing in the distance and coldly saying, "Grandmother, Mother, who is this person?"
"What do you mean by 'who'? This is clearly the person you want to marry!" Madam Yang, unlike Madam Wu, who was content to watch the show, said anxiously, "Erlang, what's wrong with you? It's a good thing that you can see again, but how come you can't even recognize her?"
"I want to marry Shen Wuyu, but this person is not Shen Wuyu at all." Zhou Linjin said, glanced at Shen Lianxiu again, and then turned his eyes away.
Seeing this, Zhou Yishao also realized that something was wrong. Zhou Linjin was not the kind of person who would act unreasonably. He had previously thought that they were just having a quarrel as a couple, but it would never be so big. Not only that, he also categorically denied her.
So she thought about going over and quietly asking Zhou Linjin a few questions, but unexpectedly, Shen Lianxiu, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly said, "Your Highness is right, I am indeed not Shen Wuyu."
There was dead silence all around. Even Mrs. Wu blinked and said nothing.
Shen Lianxiu stepped forward and stood in the middle, staring at the floor tiles without looking at anyone: "I am Shen Wuyu's sister, Shen Lianxiu."
Zhou Yishao's face changed when she heard this. She was the first to react and hurried forward to hold her back: "What did you say? Tell me what's going on!"
"My sister disappeared before her wedding. The family searched for her for days but couldn't find her. Mother, concerned that the prince was blind and not wanting to lose this marriage and expose my sister to criticism, decided to have me take her place and marry into the Duke's mansion. If you don't believe me, you can immediately send someone to the Shen family to find out if this is true."
Before Wu and Yang could say anything, Zhou Linjin said, "Come here, go to the Shen family and ask them clearly."
"It's already past midnight. It's so late. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it tomorrow," Yang advised hurriedly. "If you send someone to the house now, won't you disturb them?"
Zhou Linjin turned a deaf ear to Yang's words. He still called someone over and gave them a few instructions. After they left, he said, "I want to find out what happened to Shen Wuyu."
Zhou Yishao sighed, pulled Shen Lianxiu aside again, and stood with him.
About half an hour later, someone came to report that Shen Ji and Chen had arrived.
The Zhou family didn't expect them to come, so they didn't care about etiquette and simply invited them to Zhuoxinzhai.
Shen Ji's face looked bad, and Chen's face looked even uglier. She glared at Shen Lianxiu before she even got close.
She had done her best to bring Chen Lianxiu in, but Chen Lianxiu herself was not good at cultivation. She had spent so much time with Zhou Linjin, so she should have been able to win him over. Even if Fuming saw clearly that she was not Chen Wuyu, she could just act coquettishly and say a few words to him. She was also a young flower bud. Was she still afraid that he would not be soft-hearted?
As a result, she failed, and the people from Duke Cheng's Mansion knocked on their door in the middle of the night to ask questions. Naturally, Chen had to make the trip in person.
