Chapter 47 Out of Control
In the end, the two of them made a wish solemnly on the river lanterns, and the others also carefully sent them to the surface of the river and let them float away.
Shen Wangshu secretly glanced at Chen Ting's letter, and it really said "Madam, may you be safe and sound every year" on it. The latter didn't mind her little action, and even took it out to show her openly.
"Why only write about me?" Shen Wangshu said, "I hope my husband is safe every year, my grandmother is safe every year, my uncle and aunt are safe every year, and my elder sister, Xiahou Mansion..."
Chen Ting couldn't help laughing: "I'm not greedy, I will just do my best to protect my wife and grandmother."
The young couple not far away were already exchanging tokens of love. Shen Wangshu followed their process and said, "Husband, I have something for you."
"What is it?" Chen Ting was very surprised. Although he had long passed the age of falling in love, he was still very happy to receive a gift from his sweetheart. His heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat vigorously.
Chen Wangshu took out the beige purse that he had hidden for several days and handed it to him. The moon was embroidered big and round, but the osmanthus tree was not so good. However, it was also lush and majestic. He looked at Chen Ting expectantly: "This was embroidered by Nian Nian herself. Can you tell what it is, my husband?"
Chen Ting accepted the young lady's kindness, his heart was burning, and his nose was a little sour from being touched: "It's us."
Shen Wangshu: “?”
"My wife is the bright moon and I am the tree. The moon shining on the osmanthus tree means that my wife has saved me from my dark and lonely life and it also represents my longing and love for her." Chen Ting pressed the purse against his heart and when he admired it carefully, he discovered that there was a hint of red on the full moon. He put it close to his nose and sniffed. In addition to the faint medicinal fragrance from my wife, there was also an almost imperceptible smell of blood!
“Madam’s hand is injured?” He immediately understood and nervously held up Shen Wangshu’s hand to check: “How did you get hurt?”
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were many needle-sized wounds on the beauty's white fingertips. Although they had healed, one could still imagine the pain she had endured.
Shen Wangshu felt a little embarrassed by his big reaction. She lowered her eyes and muttered, "I got pricked accidentally when I was embroidering a purse." Who told her that she was not good at needlework? She couldn't even figure out cross-stitch, yet she had the courage to challenge a purse.
The man's face turned black with distress, his heart was burning with anger, and he urgently needed to do something to vent his anger, but he could not do anything now. He could only hug the person in his arms, kiss the top of her head, and say over and over again: "Thank you, ma'am, I like this gift so much."
What to do? He couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't wait to give everything he had to the young lady... to reveal everything to her, including the horrible truth beneath this human skin...
Chen Ting was thinking almost like a demon, the sharp claws under the black iron gauntlet kept opening and closing, as if he wanted to crush the person in his arms into bones and blood.
Shen Wangshu only felt that the person holding her was a little too excited, like an iron arm, she felt a little nervous, and couldn't help but push Chen Ting: "Husband, you are too strong."
The man woke up as if from a dream, took a look at his fingertips that were almost breaking through his fingernails, and realized hastily that the special day had arrived... He could no longer control himself and turned into a monster!
Chen Ting pushed the person in his arms away in panic, fearing that he might hurt her if he wasn't careful: "I'm sorry... I have something to do and I need to leave now. Madam, wait here for a moment. I'll ask the carriage in the mansion to pick you up."
Shen Wangshu didn’t react for a moment: “Ah?”
What happened? Why did he leave so suddenly?
In such a romantic atmosphere under the moon and flowers, what could be so important? Not even taking her back with you? ?
Shen Wangshu looked at him angrily and said nothing.
Unfortunately, all Chen Ting's attention was focused on suppressing the strange impulse in his body at the moment. His back teeth were almost broken, and he was not as meticulous as usual.
He hastily pushed away the little beauty who was looking at him eagerly and ran away with unsteady steps.
Chen Ting knew that he was different from others since he was a child. Normal children did not have such a terrible appetite as him, nor did they become extremely angry and destructive for three days every month.
The first time this happened was the second year after his parents brought him home. It was an ordinary night when he went mad without warning, grew monster-like claws covered with black scales, and lost control and killed the little book boy who had been with him the longest... When he regained consciousness, the child's body was in a terrible state, and his father, who arrived in time, tied up his hands and feet.
Everyone looked at him with fear.
Chen Ting himself didn’t know what was going on...but how could there be such a monster in this world? They look just like ordinary people, but at some point they will turn into murderous monsters and destroy everything around them.
The little Chen Ting's mind flashed with the image of the little servant boy who was about the same age as himself but had always tried hard to take care of him. Before he died, the boy looked at him with fear and despair.
It was a nightmare that Chen Ting could never get rid of, and he had countless midnight dreams.
Later, his father searched the world for a piece of meteorite from outer space, and made him a pair of black iron gloves that could restrain his sharp claws and the heavy sword that he never left.
Later, as he grew older, the special three-day period every month continued to exist, and he would still turn into a monster without any warning. At first, only his hands would change, and later his entire body would change, and he even grew a thick and powerful tail.
On the night when the situation got out of control for the first time, although my father and mother tried their best to control it, many servants still witnessed the horrible scene. Some of them took the hush money and left the house. Until now, only a few loyal old people, such as Nanny Zhang, have been keeping the secret.
Chen Ting is now a little stronger than when he was a child. He can control himself and will not lose consciousness when he turns into a monster. No matter how strong his desire to destroy is, he can lock himself in a room and not go out to harm others.
But when he was in the military camp, he once saw himself turned into a monster by the river under the moonlight - huge and ugly, with horns on his head and his whole body was pitch black. Chen Ting searched through all the strange stories in the world but couldn't figure out what he was. He only knew that he was ugly and scary.
I must never let my wife see me like this, never!
Thinking of this, he staggered back to the mansion, and with the last bit of clarity he managed to tell the servants at the door: "Madam is still under the Tongxin Bridge beside the Yao River. Go and fetch her... Drive out all the servants in Xuanji Courtyard and don't allow anyone to approach."
The servant was smart and agreed immediately, asking, "What if the lady comes back?"
Chen Ting closed his eyes and said, "Find an excuse to let her go to Jingsi Hall."
"yes."
The timing is not right yet, they have just been married for a short time, and Chen Ting doesn't dare to bet whether Shen Wangshu will think of running away after seeing his true appearance...so she must not know about it.
