Chapter 64: Settlement of Accounts
He agreed so readily that Shen Wangshu was a little suspicious: "Seriously? You agreed to me now when you are sober, right?"
Chen Ting said: "A gentleman's words are as good as his words. I know what I am talking about and what I am doing. Since I have promised, I will do it for the rest of my life."
Regardless of whether it was true or not, after getting his own assurance, Shen Wangshu felt much more at ease: “Then I also believe in my husband.”
"Go on sleeping. It will be dawn soon."
The beauty on the bed had her black hair loose. She was not annoyed by his blocking her view for a long time. She just lay there obediently and responded with a "OK".
When she was sleeping just now, Chen Ting dared to knead her without any scruples, but now he could only restrain himself and gently kiss the delicate skin on her shoulder. His voice was reluctant and hoarse: "I'm leaving. See you the day after tomorrow."
The feeling of oppression when there is someone on your body is very clear even if you can't see it. Shen Wangshu didn't say anything, but his action was to open his arms and ask for a hug without giving up.
She always felt uneasy if she didn't meet this person.
No one can refuse the lady's hug. If you refuse it once, you can't refuse it a second time.
Chen Ting avoided her neck where her skin could touch his, hugged her tightly, and whispered softly: "Be good, go to sleep."
The hug was gone in an instant, light and fast, but so close that Shen Wangshu could smell something about his physical condition - people always show different smells when they are sick, and Chen Ting didn't smell anything strange, except that the sandalwood scent on his clothes was a little lighter.
It was just that when he left, Shen Wangshu felt as if he had touched something cool… It felt fine and cold, a bit like the scales of some animal.
Depend on.
She was shocked by this thought. Could it be that Chen Ting had mutated?
When she came back to her senses from her dazed imagination, the people in the room had already left, leaving only the swaying shadow of the veil.
Shen Wangshu took off the cloth covering his eyes and searched for a while - Chen Tinglai disappeared without a trace, not even a hair was left, so naturally there would be nothing else dropped.
This happened in the middle of the night, it was like sleepwalking.
Shen Wangshu didn't sleep well in the second half of the night. She kept having inexplicable nightmares. Then a big snake came to harass her. Not to mention it entangled her waist and legs, it also didn't obey and drilled into people's clothes. The real and delicate cold touch made Shen Wangshu break out in a cold sweat. It was obviously a sultry summer night, but she had to wrap herself tightly in the thin quilt to feel safe.
She also dreamed that Chen Ting had mutated into a giant monster with snake-like scales all over his body. He covered her eyes to prevent her from seeing him, and said in a self-abased manner that he was too ugly. He also put his head in her arms like a dog and asked her to touch it, and insisted that he had a headache and pain all over his body. He pulled her hand and asked her to touch him all over his body.
After having a messy dream, Shen Wangshu woke up: "......"
It seems that she has really read too many novels about strange people and weird stories recently, otherwise she wouldn't have had such an outrageous dream.
Ultimately, we have to blame the Zhou Dynasty. Since alchemists were popular, there was naturally also the belief in becoming immortals through practicing Taoism. Regardless of whether they were real charlatans or fake immortals, the authors of the story books had very wild imaginations. Shen Wangshu had read a lot of story books recently, and was amused by the bizarre plots all day long. He didn't expect that one day he would be affected and have random dreams.
"Taohong, bring me my Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases." Shen Wangshu decided to read a few serious books on pharmacology to change his mind and calm himself down.
In the afternoon, Shen Wangshu took a rest in the pavilion with an ice jar to cool off. Lvliu brought the sweaty Ayuan brother and sister to report on today's situation. Also coming with them was another beggar named Daniu who was staring at Bai Qinglan.
"Today, the woman went out of the house and went to Liujiao Alley to meet her family. She also took some gold and silver." A Yuan was the first to report: "After she left, she returned home. There was no other movement."
Shen Wangshu nodded, and Daniu followed and said, "In addition to meeting Xichun last night, Bai Qinglan also went to Jia Yuanwai's house at night, entered through his side door, and did not come back until this morning. When she came back, there was an extra purse on her waist."
"Today during the day, he went to Xiaoshan Academy as usual. I couldn't enter the academy, so I don't know what he did."
"Okay, thank you for keeping an eye on me."
Shen Wangshu asked Luliu to give the children some ice-cold sugar water to cool them down, and then continued to keep an eye on the two until tomorrow's transaction.

On the other hand, Chen Zhi, who had been restless all night, decided to go find Bai Qinglan in person today to find out what happened when she saw him at Furong Restaurant yesterday.
Yingchun was on duty last night, and Chen Zhi let her rest in the morning. She originally wanted to go out after breakfast, but Xichun had gone somewhere. As the only two maids who knew about this, Chen Zhi did not want to take anyone else with her.
If too many people knew about this, they would definitely go to my mother and tell her about it, and then she wouldn't be able to live in peace.
After breakfast, Xichun disappeared and came back half an hour later. Chen Zhi was already impatient waiting and her tone was not very good: "Have I been too easy on you recently? What did you do after breakfast?"
Xichun had just handed over the dowry she had saved for a long time to her mother. Her heart was bleeding at this moment, but she could only smile when she saw her master was angry. She took out the things she had prepared long ago and said, "Don't be angry, young lady. I just went to help you queue up for that sweet soup. Didn't you say you wanted to eat it a few days ago? There were so many people these days that a long queue formed early. I came back late. I deserve to be beaten!"
Chen Zhi originally thought that she had gone out to play while on duty again. After hearing Xichun's explanation, she thought that she had misunderstood her and her expression softened: "So that's how it is. It's amazing that you still remember what I said."
"I will keep everything you say in mind and never forget it," Xichun said flatteringly.
Chen Zhi frowned: "But I'm not in the mood to eat or drink now. You accompany me to Xiaoshan Academy to look for Bai Qinglan. If I don't ask clearly, I will always feel uncomfortable."
Xichun knew that her master would definitely go find that person and tell him the truth in person. Fortunately, she informed Bai Qinglan in advance, so she was not left helpless...
"That girl must talk to him properly when she goes there. I still feel that there is some misunderstanding. You and I have known Mr. Bai for a long time. How dare he do such a thing?" Xichun tried to change Chen Zhi's mind and kept persuading her.
Chen Zhi was already upset. She was thinking about the scene where she fell into the water and was rescued by the young man in white. Then she thought about Bai Qinglan smiling at the fat Jia Yuanwai. Then she thought about Shen Wangshu saying, "This is not Bai Lan, this is Lily. You've made a mistake."
She admitted her mistake, she admitted her mistake. Did she really admit her mistake?
Did you recognize the wrong flower and the wrong person?
