Shen Fengming, his name was known to more than half of the people in the Xia Dynasty. It was rumored that he was domineering and ruthless. The power accumulated by the Qilin Guard for hundreds of years seemed to have reached a higher level with him, making people shudder at the mention of him.
When the people behind Lin Ting'an heard the name for the first time, they all became uneasy. Then, seeing him and the Qilin Guards standing on a pool of blood with murderous looks, they all knelt down.
Lin Ting'an's pupils shrank slightly. Shen Fengming actually revealed his identity... Then he couldn't continue to pretend he didn't know.
So he also lifted his robe and knelt down, "Lin Ting'an, the eldest son of Anping Marquis, greets Commander Shen."
Now everyone has revealed their identity.
Shen Fengming didn't look at him, but looked at Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu suddenly realized that should she also kneel down
Her body went limp, but she didn't kneel down, she fainted. She had been soaking in cold water for so long that she had already shown signs of fever, but she had been so tense that she didn't notice it.
Now she suddenly felt relieved, yet suddenly excited, her eyes went dark, and she fell to the ground.
Lin Tingan was a little closer to Jiang Yunzhu, and seeing this, he immediately reached out to help.
But a man jumped off his horse and hugged Jiang Yunzhu.
Shen Fengming touched Jiang Yunzhu's forehead with his hand and found it was very hot. He immediately carried her onto the horse and rode away.
Lin Ting'an's hand stopped in the air, then slowly tightened. He stood up and looked over there with a dark look in his eyes.
In a daze, Jiang Yunzhu felt uncomfortable with the heat all over her body, and she was covered with a thick quilt, so she immediately went to lift the quilt.
"Girl, it would be better if you could get hot and sweat!" a voice said, and then covered her with the quilt again.
Jiang Yunzhu wanted to open her mouth to argue, but her throat was hoarse and uncomfortable, and she couldn't speak.
Just when she was feeling uncomfortable, she was hugged by someone. The person's body was warm and cool, like a piece of warm jade, which was very comfortable. She immediately hugged the person tightly and pressed her body tightly against him.
Sixteen lowered his head and glanced at the person sitting beside the bed from time to time. It was hard to imagine that the man who looked helpless with the woman in his arms was their governor Shen who was as cold as snow.
But this girl was really pretty, with a face like a lotus and skin as white as snow, and a little blush due to the fever. Even though she was a girl, it was hard to take your eyes off her.
"Is the medicine ready?" Shen Fengming's voice was a little hoarse.
Jiang Yunzhu was now only wearing a soft white undershirt, which bound him tightly and made him feel very uncomfortable.
Sixteen hurried out to check and soon brought back a bowl of medicine.
The medicine was soaked in cold water for a while and was now neither cold nor hot.
"Miss Jiang, take your medicine." Shen Fengming said.
Jiang Yunzhu seemed to have no reaction.
"Bring a cool towel." Shen Fengming ordered.
Sixteen immediately took a handkerchief, wet it in cold water, then wrung it dry and respectfully presented it to Shen Fengming.
Shen Fengming put the handkerchief on Jiang Yunzhu's forehead.
Jiang Yunzhu was startled by the cold air and opened her eyes, only to find that her arms were around Shen Fengming's neck, and her whole body was almost hanging on him.
Her hands softened and she loosened her arms, but she did not fall to the ground. Instead, she was hugged by Shen Fengming.
She stared at him in amazement.
Shen Fengming took the medicine bowl and said, "Drink the medicine."
The medicine was not bitter at all, and even had a slight fragrance. Jiang Yunzhu had a sore throat, so she drank it immediately.
After finishing a bowl, he still felt unsatisfied and looked at Shen Fengming eagerly.
"This is Qilin Guard's secret medicine, Jade Flower Dew. You can't drink too much at one time." Shen Fengming's voice unconsciously became softer.
Perhaps knowing that there was nothing to drink, Jiang Yunzhu closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
There was still some medicine juice on her lips. Shen Fengming used a handkerchief to wipe it clean for her. Then he held her for a long time until her body was no longer so hot. Then he put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
But he didn't leave, but sat aside and watched her to prevent her from getting into any trouble.
It was very late, and Jiang Yunzhu's breathing began to become even, so Shen Fengming went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu opened her eyes, and yesterday's memory slowly returned. Shen Fengming told her his identity, and she still hung on him like a koala...
At this time, there were footsteps outside. Jiang Yunzhu vaguely saw the man's profile through the window and closed her eyes again.
Shen Fengming walked in with the meal and saw the naked woman’s eyelashes trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was awake but unwilling to open her eyes.
He thought of the last time she pretended not to remember what happened, put the tray aside, sat down on the edge of the bed, and looked down at the man.
The snow-white feather pillow, with the rosy face slightly sunken in it, makes the eyebrows and eyes more delicate and the red lips like cherries more prominent.
He reached out and pressed his thumb on her lips, and with a little force, his thumb sank into those two soft lips.
Then he retracted his thumb and looked down.
Jiang Yunzhu was already feeling uneasy because of his thumb, and she felt a shadow pressing down on her, so she immediately covered her face with the quilt.
Shen Fengming didn't kiss anyone. He sat up straight and said seriously, "Miss Jiang, when we get back, I'll send someone to your house to propose marriage." This way he could protect her with a legitimate reason.
Jiang Yunzhu lifted the quilt and met Shen Fengming’s eyes. His eyes were dark and he didn’t seem to be joking.
She finally felt that she couldn't go on like this. She had thought that he would return to Beijing sooner or later, and then it would be time for them to part, so sometimes she was actually indulging herself, just like a carnival before parting.
But now things seem to be going out of control.
She didn't want to marry into a rich family again. In her dream, she married Lin Ting'an half-heartedly, but the facts proved that she was wrong, extremely wrong. In fact, later on, she wanted to divorce, because that kind of life was too far from her ideal.
But Lin Ting'an disagreed, and she couldn't get a divorce even if she wanted to.
This era is so unfair to women.
Will she go the same old way this time
Yes, Shen Fengming treats her very well now, but marriage is not just a matter between two people. He often goes out to handle cases, leaving her alone in the Shen Mansion, waiting for him to come back every day, and then dealing with those messy relationships
It makes me despair just thinking about it.
"Lord Shen..." she said in a deep voice.
"You can call me Fengming." Shen Fengming frowned. He didn't like her calling him that.
Jiang Yunzhu avoided his sight.
Shen Fengming looked at her without saying anything. He wanted to see what she wanted to say.
Jiang Yunzhu felt that being looked at like this was very oppressive, making her breath difficult. She sat up, calmed down and said, "I had guessed that Lord Shen was an extraordinary person, but I didn't expect that he was actually...
I am grateful for Lord Shen's kindness, but I am of humble origin and dare not marry into your family."
"Are you done?" Shen Fengming asked.
Jiang Yunzhu nodded.
"I brought you breakfast." Shen Fengming said.
His topic jump was too big and Jiang Yunzhu was a little confused, but she soon realized that Shen Fengming did not understand what she meant.
"Sir Shen, I'm not kidding. Your injury has long been healed. From today on, we will each go our separate ways..." Jiang Yunzhu paused, and they separated and parted ways!
Shen Fengming stared at Jiang Yunzhu with a serious look, "Is it because of my identity? I cannot change this, and I cannot give up my current identity. But I can try my best to give you what you want."
Jiang Yunzhu stopped talking.
"Okay, I won't go to your house to propose marriage yet. But your distress this time may have something to do with me. I can't just leave you alone." Shen Fengming said. If she left him now, she might be eaten alive by those who hated him.
Jiang Yunzhu also thought of this problem. In fact, it was not just her, but also Chen, Jiang Cheng and others who might be in danger.
Seeing her lowering her head in deep thought, Shen Fengming guessed that she might be worried about her family, so he said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to protect them."
Jiang Yunzhu looked up. Protect? How to protect? Take them to a big house and guard them day and night? What's the difference between that and being in jail? Maybe Shen Fengming has a better way, but no matter what, it's like a disaster for Jiang Cheng and the others.
In fact, the best protection is for them to leave. Shen Fengming, including her. Only when they leave, Jiang Cheng and the others can continue to live their current lives.
Jiang Yunzhu had thought about leaving before, but where to go, Luzhou, the capital, or somewhere else
First of all, Luzhou is ruled out. Lin Tingan is in Luzhou and she doesn’t want to see him again.
She has always wanted to go to the capital.
She couldn't think of where to go for a moment.
"Lord Shen, if I go to the capital..." Jiang Yunzhu said.
“Are you going to the capital?” Shen Fengming raised his eyebrows slightly, his long eyelashes curled like small fans, and he looked very happy.
Jiang Yunzhu felt inexplicably regretful. Perhaps she shouldn't have gone to the capital.
"I will help you take care of your parents." Shen Fengming did not give her a chance to regret and said immediately. This matter was caused by him, and he would protect Jiang Cheng and the others out of emotion and reason.
Jiang Yunzhu was not the kind of person who hesitated. Since she wanted to go to the capital, why not go there? In her dream, she wanted to do this. The capital was a place where many talents gathered. She could make friends with her cooking, see all kinds of superb cooking skills, and meet some masters. Maybe her cooking skills would be improved. She was happy just thinking about it.
If that didn't work, she would go find Mr. Wu and travel around the world with him. Anyway, she already had Qishanju and Chabuliang, so she had a stable business.
"Thank you, Lord Shen." Jiang Yunzhu said, and she talked about protecting her parents.
"Do you have to call me Lord Shen?" Shen Fengming frowned.
If not Lord Shen, what should I call him, Fengming? Calling him that is too intimate.
Shen Fengming didn't want to force her. It was already good enough that she could go to Beijing.
"Shall we set off when you feel better?" Shen Fengming asked.
Jiang Yunzhu shook her head quickly. She didn't want to go with him. If she did that, she would probably become the target of public criticism as soon as she arrived in the capital. She meant to disappear in Wuling County, then go to the capital with another identity and start a new life.
Shen Fengming understood, "I can help you arrange it and make sure no one will look for you again. However, you have to go with me, otherwise I won't be at ease.
Don't worry, you can do whatever you want when you arrive in Beijing."
Jiang Yunzhu's bright eyes flashed, "Thank you, Lord Shen." This time, she thanked him sincerely.
Shen Fengming suddenly kissed her lips.
"Woo..." Jiang Yunzhu pushed him hurriedly. What was he doing? They had just been talking to each other nicely.
