Chapter 1048: Changing Women 14

After Meng Li and Zhu Zhuoran went on the road, Lian Fu felt increasingly weak and exhausted.

At first, I didn’t want to do anything all day long, and I ate whatever I wanted.

They can’t plant the land, can’t do embroidery, and can’t go to neighboring villages to deliver babies.

She also felt something was wrong with her body, and wondered if Yingmei had poisoned her. She went to see the doctor, but the doctor said it was nothing serious.

I joked that it could be because your scholar came to Beijing and you were thinking about it day and night.

Lian Fu felt that this was not the case and asked again and again if he was poisoned.

The doctor looked at Lian Fu like a patient with persecutory delusions.

Lian Fu had no choice but to find another doctor in town, but nothing was wrong, so she had no choice but to go home.

But my body was getting worse day by day. I was tired before, but still groggy later.

Along with nightmares, frequent headaches, and occasionally a feeling of pain in my bones, I couldn't eat well or sleep well.

When I was in pain, I cried for my father and my mother on the bed. I was so forced that I had no choice but to say some things. I didn’t care if anyone would believe me.

But thinking of Zhu Zhuoran, Lian Fu couldn't bear it.

Nothing was said.

People lose weight quickly due to physical torture.

Meng Li followed Zhu Zhuoran on the road and touched the medicinal powder in the baggage. These were obtained and disposed of in the mountains when nothing happened.

When she left, she gave Lian Fu some information. Just because she left didn't mean that Lian Fu would be better off.

The remaining ones are prepared for use in the future if they are needed, and forget them if they are not.

The two of them were riding in a bullock cart. Zhu Zhuoran had a kind of aloofness. When the driver talked to Zhu Zhuoran, Zhu Zhuoran was not very willing to talk to him.

Holding a book and staring.

Meng Li stood aside quietly while the driver muttered for a while, then he shut his mouth knowingly when he ignored him.

After a long day's journey,

They arrived at a place where they planned to stay.

Judging from Zhu Zhuoran's outfit and temperament, he knew that he was in Beijing to take the exam. At this time, the imperial examination really involved thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. When he went to a slightly more prosperous place, it was easy to meet people who were also rushing to take the exam.

After booking a room at the inn, Zhu Zhuoran and Meng Li ordered some food below.

The two of them were sitting together and eating. Zhu Zhuoran thought that he was tired from the journey and drank some wine to relieve his fatigue. Just as he was about to ask the waiter to bring wine, a young man came over with a wine bottle and said:

"This brother also went to Beijing."

Zhu Zhuoran looked at the person who came, his eyes lit up, and he knew he was the same person when he saw the other person's dress. He nodded and said:

"You must be too."

"If you don't mind, let's have a drink together?"

While the man was talking, he casually glanced at Meng Li, who was silently picking up food.

Zhu Zhuoran stood up happily and invited the man to sit down.

Chatted.

Zhu Zhuoran naturally drank the wine the man brought, and the man naturally picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food on the table.

We are both scholars, and we are taking exams at the same time, so we have many topics in common. We can chat for half an hour just by chatting about the upcoming route.

The two of them talked non-stop, getting very excited when they talked about something interesting.

Meng Li thought it was very noisy and gave Zhu Zhuoran a cold look, which made Zhu Zhuoran embarrassed.

The man who came to chat was also embarrassed.

"Who is this?"

The man looked at Meng Li doubtfully.

He did not associate the two with a relationship as husband and wife. After all, Meng Li's overall appearance was still not as good as Zhu Zhuoran's. Zhu Zhuoran had thin skin and tender flesh and was handsome, while Meng Li was slightly darker and thinner, which didn't seem to match him.

On the contrary, she looks like Zhu Zhuoran's accompanying maid.

Zhu Zhuoran simply didn't know how to respond to this question.

He originally wanted to say it was his wife, but he thought that his wife was so ignorant and would be laughed at if he said it.

"It's my cousin." Zhu Zhuoran said.

He didn't lie either, but he still looked at Meng Li with a guilty conscience.

Meng Li twitched his lips and smiled:

"Is it my cousin?"

Zhu Zhuoran's eyes were a little pleading, not wanting Meng Li to expose him.

But Meng Li still said:

"Sir, have you forgotten that I am your cousin and your wife?"

Zhu Zhuoran's expression suddenly turned ugly.

The man was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Zhuoran. He was also a man and felt a little pity. There was no good wife in the family and life was never peaceful. Look at this lady, she is the kind of person who likes to make trouble and is ignorant.

No wonder this brother is too shy to speak.

The atmosphere became awkward and no one spoke.

The man feels that it’s not okay for him to leave now, and it’s not okay if he doesn’t leave.

Zhu Zhuoran looked at Meng Li and said:

"Yingmei, have you eaten?"

Meng Li: "No."

Zhu Zhuoran: "..."

Anyone with a bit of a wink should know what to say, right?

In addition, there are not many dishes on the table.

Zhu Zhuoran said:

"That dish is not enough. Please order some more."

Meng Li said coldly:

"what ever."

"No."

The man quickly waved his hand and refused.

Seeing the look on his wife's face, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quickly stood up and stepped back.

Zhu Zhuoran sincerely invited the man to stay and continue drinking, but the man was unwilling and insisted on leaving. Their previously harmonious atmosphere was thus destroyed.

Zhu Zhuoran was very angry and gave Meng Li a cold look.

Meng Li pretended not to see it, stood up and said:

"I'm going to rest."

Zhu Zhuoran said nothing with a cold face, Meng Li stood up and left.

Zhu Zhuoran probably wanted to vent his anger with Meng Li, so he sat downstairs until the inn was closed before going upstairs.

It was already night, and he took a few steps in front of Meng Li's door. He was even more angry now. It was clear that Yingmei was wrong, but he stayed in the room with peace of mind.

Instead, he left him alone.

This made Zhu Zhuoran, who usually enjoyed the client's kindness, very uncomfortable.

Unable to get angry, he pushed open the door angrily and looked at Meng Li sitting cross-legged. He closed the door, suppressed his anger and said:

"Come here and undress for me."

Meng Li glanced over:

"So are you trying to bully me now?"

Zhu Zhuoran replied:

"You also know what you did was wrong?"

Meng Li: "What does it mean to be right? I should put down my chopsticks immediately, get up and go upstairs without disturbing you, and order a table of delicious food for you to drink with?"

Zhu Zhuoran sighed in his heart, isn't this what a woman should do?

Why is it that when you come to Yingmei, it becomes something you can't understand?

After all, birth determines one's horizons. Yingmei just hasn't had any contact with outsiders and doesn't know how to deal with things.

I felt very regretful, why did I bring it out?

Wouldn't it be unpleasant to bring it out to cause trouble for yourself and embarrass yourself?

"Even if you don't know what to do, you shouldn't show off. If you do this, I will have no friends. I may not want to associate with me because of you."

Zhu Zhuoran suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said.

Meng Li smiled:

"You want me to behave like a lady, but don't you think about where I can learn these behaviors?"

This question left Zhu Zhuoran speechless. He scratched his head irritably and said:

"So now I'm teaching you how to correct some bad habits, otherwise you will be laughed at."
