Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 99 The Dream (2)

Zhu Jintang's thick eyebrows frowned as if nothing, and then stretched out his hands to slowly pick Shen Yuechen up from the quilt, and hugged him into his arms.

Shen Yuechen gasped in surprise, raised her head and stared at Zhu Jintang in a daze, with an expression of disbelief, she said angrily, "Zhu Jintang, what exactly do you want!"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were slightly taken aback.

Zhu Jintang didn't expect that she would dare to call him by his name directly, and Shen Yuechen also didn't expect that she would be angry for a while and forget her sense of propriety.

Zhu Jintang slightly frowned his thick eyebrows, Shen Yuechen calmed down with a guilty conscience, no longer resisting anything, but his small face was still raised proudly, turning his eyes away to look into the distance.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jintang smiled instead of anger. This was the first time he saw her lose her temper. She usually looked like a living Bodhisattva. It turned out that she also had a temper.

Shen Yuechen vaguely heard his laughter, and was slightly taken aback, but still pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Zhu Jintang relaxed the strength of his arm, only letting her lean in his arms, whispering, while reaching out to caress her face. "It's my fault today, I'll make it up to you, okay?"

He has always been aloof, except for his parents and elders, he never apologized to anyone, and this is the first time today.Therefore, the moment the words came out, even he himself was a little surprised.As for Shen Yuechen, he was stunned for a while before he realized what he said. Although he was not so angry anymore, he felt inexplicably wronged... Shen Yuechen's lips were slightly pursed, his eye sockets were sore, but he didn't know what to say. The complaints in my stomach, I can't even say it now.

With her back facing him, Zhu Jintang couldn't see the expression on her face, but he could feel her tense body slowly softening.

Zhu Jintang held her shoulder lightly and did not speak.

The two of them just sat there quietly, without any sound except for each other's breathing.

After a while, Chunming and Cuixin walked in one after the other, carrying trays.

Shen Yuechen wanted to sit up, but Zhu Jintang didn't let her move, and only asked them to bring over the food.

Chunming put all the food away one by one, Zhu Jintang helped Shen Yuechen sit up, looked at Chunming and said, "Serve your lady well for dinner."

Chunming hurriedly agreed.

Shen Yuechen saw that he took the robe and put it on by himself, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Master, do you want to go out?"

Zhu Jintang nodded at her: "I'll go to the granary, you have a good rest."

Shen Yuechen couldn't get up by himself, so she pointed to Cui Xin and said, "Cui Xin, go and help the uncle get dressed and put on shoes."

Cui Xin was stunned for a moment, and then moved closer to Zhu Jintang, only to see him waving his hands and saying, "No need, go and serve your young lady."

After Zhu Jintang was fully dressed, he went out, as neatly as usual.

Shen Yuechen leaned against the head of the bed, sighed softly, only felt that he was like a man made of iron, how could he have so much energy and strength that could not be exhausted.

Chun Ming came over with a bowl of chicken soup and fed it to her spoonful by spoonful. Seeing her haggard face, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "Young lady's face looks thinner again. You should drink some tonic."

Shen Yuechen closed his eyes lazily. "Let Mama Wu prepare some for me. I'll drink it at night."

The afternoon breeze blew slowly, causing some drowsiness, Shen Yuechen just wanted to have a good sleep, or he would lose energy when he said hello at night.

A drop of thick ink accidentally dripped onto the paper, blurring into a black smudge.

A scripture that I just copied was ruined in vain, and I had to start all over again.

Qin Taoxi frowned slightly, his eyes turned cold, and he immediately threw the brush on the ground, but accidentally splashed the ink spots all over Lanhua.

Lan Hua was slightly taken aback, then lowered her head to look at her clothes, drooping her face, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all, didn't say anything, just picked up the writing brush on the ground again, put it in the water tank and rinsed it , re-stained with ink, and handed it to Qin Taoxi's hand.

Qin Taoxi glared at her, only took the brush into his hand, and lowered his head to copy again.

Counting today, she has been banned for a full fifteen days. For half a month, she copied scriptures every day except for scriptures.

Qin Taoxi knew in her heart that Shen Yuechen deliberately came to make things difficult for her, to frustrate her spirit and polish her temper.And that little bitch Sun Wenpei is a dog that can bite without barking.It was with great difficulty that she raised Liuli, and her temperament became wilder and wilder, and her claws became more and more ruthless.However, Mrs. Sun suddenly came out to disrupt the situation, and all her hard work was wasted.

Qin Taoxi took a deep breath, picked up the pen and wrote a line, and said in his heart: The uncle has already returned, and my days of grounding are coming to an end, no matter whether it is Shen Yuechen or Sun Wenpei, she will not let them go easily .

It's just that it's been a day since the uncle came back, why hasn't he remembered her yet?

Qin Taoxi suddenly stopped writing, and said coldly: "Where is this, sir?"

"Uncle...you have been in the house of the young lady all morning...you just...went out."

After Liuli's death, Lanhua seemed to be frightened, her spirits were always up and down, and she stuttered even when she spoke.

When Qin Taoxi heard this, she felt displeased, and said with a straight face: "Hmph, let me tell you, why didn't the uncle think of coming to see me? It really is because of that hypocritical bitch."

Now, she only hated Shen Yuechen and Sun Wenpei so much that she wished she could be peeled and stewed like colored glaze in order to relieve her anger.

Lan Hua was terrified of her in her heart, once she heard her tone of voice was wrong, she was so frightened that her whole body became cold and she couldn't move.

Qin Taoxi thought for a while, Shen Yuechen didn't want her to see him, she just wanted to see him, as long as she could see the uncle, she would have a chance to get out of this room.

"I drank it, you go and make me a bowl of boiling tea."

Lan Hua hurriedly responded tremblingly when she heard the words, and went out to make tea.After a while, a bowl of steaming tea was served.

Qin Taoxi put down his pen, stared at the tea bowl for a while, and suddenly smiled darkly.Then, she raised her hand and overturned the tea bowl, intentionally spilling the tea on the back of her hand, leaving a large red mark.

Qin Taoxi gritted her teeth, let out a soft "hiss", stared at Lan Hua, and said, "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you go to the doctor quickly, and tell me that I was burnt, and it was very serious."

Although her feet were restrained, the maidservants around her were free to come and go.

Lan Hua stumbled and ran to find someone to ask for a doctor, and the news that Mrs. Qin was scalded quickly reached Shen Yuechen's ears.

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen's heart tightened, knowing that it was time to release the angry Qin Taoxi.

The back of Qin Taoxi's hand was not seriously burned, but it was just a little burn, just apply a little lotion and bandage it.

Although the injury was not serious, when Qin Taoxi came to the main room, his eyes were slightly red, his face was pale, and he looked haggard, as if he had really suffered from some serious illness.

Think about it, that Qin Taoxi who was always dressed in gorgeous clothes and bejeweled before, but now she is completely clean, and she can't help but look a little unbearable.It is estimated that if Zhu Jintang saw her pitiful appearance, he would not be able to help feeling sorry for her.

Qin Taoxi walked slowly, with his head down all the time, while holding up his scalded hand, while kneeling to bless his body, he said softly: "My concubine pays my respects to grandma, my grandma is blessed."

Chun Ming and Cui Xin were beside her, watching her every move with vigilant expressions, for fear that she would suddenly play some tricks that would harm the young lady.

Shen Yuechen pinched the handkerchief, looked at her face coldly, and said with a gloomy expression: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Aunt Qin looks rather haggard."

Qin Taoxi lowered her head again when she heard the words, and replied in a humble tone that she had never had before: "Please worry about it, grandma, my servant and concubine have been devoutly copying Buddhist scriptures all day recently, and my health is fine."

Pious?Shen Yuechen only felt that such a word could be used on her, and it felt really wonderful.Well, let her see how pious she really is?
Shen Yuechen pursed her lips and smiled, and waved her hand slightly to let her take a seat.

Qin Taoxi sat down according to the words.

Shen Yuechen has been paying attention to Qin Taoxi's expression. Although Qin Taoxi looks surprisingly calm and there is nothing wrong with it, Shen Yuechen can still clearly capture the unconcealable micro-expressions on her face.

Although she doesn't know much about psychology, thanks to her previous life, she watched a few criminal investigation dramas and learned a little bit about micro-expressions.Although not much, it should be enough to deal with a crazy woman like Qin.

When Shen Yuechen saw the fleeting cold light flashing in Qin Taoxi's eyes, a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that the fire in her heart has almost been aroused, and it's time to give her a chance to vent the fire.

Shen Yuechen ordered Yingchun to present all the Buddhist scriptures she had copied every day, and then took a few of them and held them in her hand. After looking at them for a while, she asked, "Aunt Qin, since you copied so devoutly and carefully, you must have You must have realized the truth in this scripture, right?"

Qin Taoxi heard this, raised her eyebrows, stood up and saluted and said: "The concubine has little talent and learning, and dare not speak freely, how can it be compared to the young mistress who is virtuous and has a lot of knowledge! The concubine really dare not be in front of the young mistress Lu Chou."

Shen Yuechen knew very well that the Qin family would not read the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" deeply, and this was exactly what she wanted. "Aunt Qin doesn't need to be humble, just speak up."

Qin Taoxi smiled slightly: "The concubine really has nothing to say." She has always hated those who flaunt the principles of helping the world and saving people.She doesn't believe in any gods in this world, she only believes in herself.

Shen Yuechen heard the words, threw the scriptures back on the tray, and said in a cold tone: "The reason why I ground you and copy the scriptures is not just to punish you, but to let you understand some truth from it. Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and many unrighteous deeds will lead to self-destruction. Whatever a person sows, he will reap the same result! Unfortunately, you have been copying for so many days and still don’t understand anything. Isn’t it a waste of paper and ink. "

Seeing that she was feeling sorry for Zhimo, Qin Taoxi frowned slightly, but immediately let go.

Shen Yuechen then continued: "Now that the uncle is back, I don't want to hold you anymore. But, looking at your usual behavior, I really feel worried. I know that you were not so docile and cautious in the first place. It’s reasonable for a person who behaves occasionally to be wrong. However, what you did last time was too much, not to mention how you offended me. Aunt Sun is pregnant, and the last thing in the courtyard Bloody killings are taboo, but you do whatever you want regardless. If I hadn't visited you at that time, you would have sent that pot of disgusting stuff to Aunt Sun's house. So today, can you still sit here comfortably?"
