Chapter 141 Sheng Huai'an Wakes Up
Xiang Hongying looked puzzled. "He said he dreamt that he was controlled by a very strange force, who climbed over the wall into my room in the middle of the night and kidnapped me. Then... he forced me to marry him... cough cough..."
Xiang Hongying became somewhat uncomfortable at the end.
No matter how lively and straightforward she is, she is still just an unmarried young woman, and she is still a little reserved when it comes to topics about married couples.
Sheng Wan'er frowned: "Why did he say these things to you? Doesn't he think it's abrupt for a man to say such things to a woman like you? Did you tell Grand Secretary Qin that he was being disrespectful to you?"
“How could I possibly tell my father these things?” Xiang Hongying’s eyes widened, but then she added, “But I told my mother. My mother had someone investigate him and found that he was of good character. He probably told me those things because he was confused, and also to warn me.”
"Warning?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
“Yes.” Xiang Hongying nodded vigorously. “Zhou Lin said that if one day he does something to hurt me, I should not think about his life-saving grace, but directly stab him in the heart with a dagger without hesitation. He also gave me a dagger, which is particularly sharp, saying that it was passed down from his ancestors.”
Does this mean Zhou Lin was truly controlled by the "storybook plot"?
Otherwise, why would he be dreaming?
Was it because she changed Xiang Hongying's fate that she broke the "shackles" on him, which is why he had a dream?
Many thoughts flashed through Ye Mingzhu's mind in an instant.
She asked Xiang Hongying, "...What do you think of him now?"
Xiang Hongying said, "I think he's a nice person!"
Ye Mingzhu then asked, "What if... he were my future husband? Do you think he would be suitable?"
"Actually, I'm not stupid. He seems to really be interested in me..." Xiang Hongying thought for a moment and said carelessly, "Marrying him doesn't seem so bad. After all, he's a good person, and I don't have to care about his family background when I get married. His family isn't well-off, so I'd be marrying down and I could live more comfortably. However, he's not extremely handsome, so he's not quite to my liking. I need to think about it some more."
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Why didn't she think of that? What Xiang Hongying valued most was her future husband's face...
Well, everyone has their own destiny.
If Zhou Lin stops using such cruel methods to treat Xiang Hongying, their future might actually be bright.
But what Ye Mingzhu didn't expect was that, right after she saw off the Xiang family, Huang Xiangyu suddenly arrived from the Sheng family.
Upon meeting, Huang Xiangyu said anxiously in a low voice, "Madam, Sheng Huai'an is about to wake up!"
"He's actually waking up?" Ye Mingzhu was also surprised. "Didn't the doctor say that his high fever wouldn't go down and that he was likely in grave danger and wouldn't make it?"
“Yes, that’s what the doctor said. I… I’ve stopped his medication for the past few days, but somehow his condition is getting better and better. Today he kept talking nonsense about his past and present lives, like he’s about to wake up,” Huang Xiangyu said.
Are you talking nonsense?
Past life, this life?
Thinking of a possibility, Ye Mingzhu said directly, "I'll go check it out."
...
The Sheng Mansion.
As they approached Tingsong Residence, Huang Xiangyu suddenly looked at Ye Mingzhu with hesitation and conflict in her eyes, as if she had something to say.
Ye Mingzhu gave her a deep look, observing her expression, and asked directly, "You don't want Sheng Huai'an to wake up?"
“Yes!” Gritting her teeth, Huang Xiangyu admitted, “It would be best for me if he remained unconscious, or even died. But if he woke up, I… I really don’t want to spend my days with an incompetent, vicious, and immoral piece of trash.”
Rubbish?
Ye Mingzhu felt that Huang Xiangyu's assessment of Sheng Huai'an was very accurate.
Huang Xiangyu frowned, then lowered her voice and said, "Besides, he keeps talking about his past life and this life, which I find strange and gives me the creeps... Madam, don't you think it's a bit too eerie? Could he be possessed by a ghost?"
Ye Mingzhu's almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear, and her gaze towards Huang Xiangyu held a hint of deep meaning.
"Why don't we go to the temple to pray for blessings, or hold a Taoist ceremony to exorcise the evil spirits for him?" she asked. Then she added, "I remember Liu Rumei has a lot of tonics, so we can give him some to help him recover."
What good stuff could the medicine in Liu Rumei's hand be?
“Okay!” Huang Xiangyu’s eyes lit up and she quickly agreed with a smile.
Ye Mingzhu smiled too.
As soon as the two entered Tingsong Residence, Yushu, looking anxious, came to greet them, her eyes full of expectation.
Seeing that she was very close to her, Huang Xiangyu reassured her, "Don't worry, Madam is here to help us."
"Yes." Yu Shu nodded vigorously, then thought for a moment, and knelt down sincerely, kowtowing deeply to Ye Mingzhu. "Thank you, Madam!"
Ye Mingzhu helped her up: "No need to thank me, we have the same goal."
Yu Shu looked at Huang Xiangyu in surprise. Seeing Huang Xiangyu smiling and nodding at her, she felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and burst into tears of joy.
Right now, she would rather Sheng Huai'an be unconscious or even dead.
Previously, she served Sheng Huai'an in the study. After they slept together, he would always make her drink a contraceptive soup. He would watch her drink it to make sure there was no problem.
If he wakes up and doubts whether the child in her womb is his, she will not only have to spend time coaxing him and making him believe it, but she will also have to act subserviently in front of him.
A man who has been castrated will definitely have a drastic change in temperament, and she has no intention of serving a capricious and useless person.
...Among all the people in the Sheng family who hoped for Sheng Huai's well-being, Jia Shi was probably the only one.
"Where is Sheng Huai'an? Take me to see him," Ye Mingzhu said.
Yu Shu immediately replied, "Yes."
Ye Mingzhu walked to Sheng Huai'an's bedside and found that his face was indeed flushed, he was covered in sweat, and he was talking incoherently.
She moved closer and could hear it more clearly.
"Rumei, look how well our child has grown. You've worked so hard to bear our children. Now that I've achieved success, I'll make sure you have an even better life!"
"Hao'er is my elder brother's bloodline, how could I treat him differently and not love him?"
"No, no, I don't resent my elder brother. I'm grateful to him. I'm grateful he died young, otherwise how could you have been mine?"
"..."
"Liu Rumei, you bitch, didn't you drug Sheng Yunche? Did you also drug Mother?"
"You're so vicious! I always thought you were a gentle, quiet, kind, and weak person, but I never imagined you were a venomous snake. You were just pretending!"
"How hateful that I spent my past life with you, only to discover your true colors on my deathbed! In this life, I was deceived by your pretense again, and you have caused me such a miserable fate!"
"I've ended up in this situation because of you! Because of you! And Ye Mingzhu, yes, Ye Mingzhu..."
Sheng Huai'an suddenly shouted, his body convulsed, and he abruptly opened his bloodshot eyes.
Their eyes met.
Ye Mingzhu clearly saw the madness in his eyes and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Sheng Huai'an... was also reborn?
That would be even more interesting.
