Chapter 341 Confusing the real with the fake
Xiao Quanzi brought three people to Shen Wen's door. He knocked on the door and listened but there was no response. He boldly pushed the door open and broke into Shen Wen's door with his people.
Xiao Quanzi entered the room and went directly behind the screen. He saw Shen Wen sitting on the bed, looking at him with big eyes. Shen Wen was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xiao Quanzi, "Sir, don't speak. I brought people to rescue you. Our Lord Chu is too unreasonable. He knows that you don't like being the young lady of his Ji family, but he still holds you and won't let go. Don't worry, I have a good way to help you get out of this situation."
At this point, he mysteriously grabbed Shen Wen's hand, pulled Shen Wen off the bed, pointed at a cloaked man behind him and said, "Sir, please look."
The man in the cloak gently pulled the cloak off his head, revealing a face exactly like Shen Wen.
Xiao Quanzi said: "With her helping you deal with Lord Chu, you can get away."
Xiaojiu, who had just replaced Shen Wen, saw a woman who looked exactly like Shen Wen. He blinked his big eyes and pointed at the woman with his other hand, saying "You! You!" and was speechless.
Xiao Quanzi stroked Xiao Jiu's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, sir. She is a substitute that I specially found. I won't go into too much detail. Come with me now. This substitute will handle things here for you."
At this time, Fu'er, who was about to wake up, groaned twice, held her head and slowly got up from the ground. She rubbed her head and looked around. Just when she was about to see Xiao Quanzi and others behind her, she felt a pain in her neck and fell asleep again.
Xiao Quanzi pulled Xiao Jiu, jumped over Fu'er, and left in a hurry.
On the rooftop, Puzhao watched Xiao Quanzi and Xiao Jiu hurriedly leaving, with two assassins holding steel knives behind them. He asked Shen Wen, "What should we do? Should we stop them?"
Shen Wen shook his head and said, "No need. Xiaojiu is not an ordinary person. Xiaoquanzi can't trap her. Besides, she has three immortal fathers behind her. I believe Xiaojiu will be able to escape soon. Let's leave by ourselves, let's go now."
Both of them are very skilled, and with Puzhao as their navigator, they are professional and invincible in hiding from others, so escaping from a small winery is a piece of cake for them.
When the two of them quietly jumped out of the winery wall, they just saw Xiaojiu, who was only wearing a shirt, running away alone, tiptoeing and looking around.
Shen Wen smiled smugly at this. He patted Pu Zhao on the shoulder and said, "What did I say? This little girl is very clever. It seems that she has managed to escape."
Seeing Xiao Jiu disappear in the grove, Shen Wen and Pu Zhao were about to leave. At this time, Xiao Quanzi came with two of Heizi's men. Pu Zhao said to Shen Wen, "You retreat first, I'll cover you, they are no match for me." Shen Wen thought of Pu Zhao's powerful strength, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
In the huge winery guest room behind him, there was only a substitute woman who looked exactly like Shen Wen.
Fu'er did not get up from the ground by herself after all. She was carried away by other maids. Because Fu'er was sick, her frail body had been lying unconscious on the ground. When the maid who came in to serve her saw her, her forehead was terribly hot.
The stand-in, Shen Wen, pretended to have just woken up and asked curiously what happened.
The maid reported Fu'er's illness to her, and Shen Wen, who was acting as a substitute, said, "Is that so? Then why did she lie on the ground to sleep with me? What a silly girl. In this case, I will report to your Second Young Master, give her a few more taels of silver, and allow her to go home to enjoy the care of her parents. Send her home to recuperate."
When the maids heard this, they smiled and said, "Then we would like to thank the lady for the reward on behalf of Sister Fuer." Then they helped Fuer out and went to find a doctor to treat her.
Jinchun brought two maids and went to the bedroom to invite Shen Wen, the substitute, to have a meal. She also personally helped Shen Wen wash her hands and straightened the hairpin on her temples.
When we arrived at the banquet pavilion behind the small building, we could see Chu Yanqiu from afar. He was sitting at the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, sipping tea nonchalantly.
The stand-in Shen Wen's heart beat faster with excitement when he saw the familiar back of the man. He couldn't help but put his little hand on his chest. He tried his best to restrain himself and pretended nothing had happened.
Chu Yanqiu already knew what was going on in Shen Wen's room. When he saw Shen Wen coming, he reached out his hand and pulled him to sit beside him. He said, "I already know that Fu'er is sick. Since you don't like her, then change her. Serve lunch first. After lunch, the other three maids around me will come from the mansion. You can choose the one you like and keep her by your side to serve you."
The stand-in heard him say this, and his expression became a little stiff due to his nervousness. He reluctantly said, "Okay then."
Chu Yanqiu was quite satisfied. Jinchun, who was serving beside him, silently ordered people to serve the dishes to the table one by one. Jinchun was a very capable girl. She could call out the name and describe the characteristics of each dish that was served. Chu Yanqiu, who was sitting at the table and eating, was also happy.
Chu Yanqiu had already made arrangements for Shen Wen. After lunch, he would take him to choose jewelry, fabrics, rouge and other items. As for where to have dinner, he was very careful and asked Shen Wen's opinion first. After mentioning several places, he said, "If you are satisfied with this Deyi Winery, you can continue to live here."
The substitute was very pleased with Chu Yanqiu's thoughtfulness. Her cheeks flushed unconsciously. She raised her pearly teeth and said in accordance with Chu Yanqiu's meaning: "I am free to do whatever you want. I will listen to you, sir."
grown ups?
Chu Yanqiu actually didn't like Shen Wen calling him "Sir". When he called him "Sir", their identities were clear and the distance between them was kept.
So Chu Yanqiu asked: "Why? Are you not satisfied? Do you want to go back to that little inn?"
The stand-in was confused and looked up at Chu Yanqiu questioningly.
Chu Yanqiu said, "It's not impossible to stay in that small inn, but you have to take your identity as the young lady of the Ji family to heart and put away your humble behavior of trying to please passers-by. Do you remember what I said to you in front of the clinic this morning? You are my legal wife, and you can't let a bunch of peasants look down on you."
The stand-in didn't know what happened in the small clinic, but she could also hear what Chu Yanqiu was unhappy about, so she pretended to be wronged and said, "Husband... Husband, please don't talk about what happened in the morning. As for going back to the small inn to rest, I won't go there again. I also think this Deyi Winery is good. Since we are coming back here for dinner, can we stay here for a few more days?"
Chu Yanqiu looked at the fake Shen Wen quietly, which made the fake Shen Wen feel guilty. He actually smiled slowly and said, "That's good. It's rare that you like what I arranged. Since you asked, I will let you stay in this winery for a few more days."
After saying that, Chu Yanqiu finished his lunch, stood up, washed his hands and wiped his mouth with the help of the little maid, and said: "I can see that you like the dishes for lunch. In that case, you can eat more. I will go back and prepare it. I will pick you up in an hour." After saying that, Chu Yanqiu left.
Jinchun was even happier when she saw that Shen Wen and Chu Yanqiu enjoyed the meal. She personally picked up two more pieces of fish sashimi for Shen Wen while chatting and laughing. The fake Shen Wen was a quiet person. After exchanging a few words with Jinchun, he sneaked away and sent Jinchun and the other maids away, leaving only a little maid from the Ji Mansion to accompany them for dinner.
After everyone left, the stand-in Shen Wen finally let go of his nervousness. When he lowered his head, the palms of his hands holding the chopsticks were already wet with sweat.
It was already three years ago that she had dined in such a dignified manner as a lady from a noble family. She herself couldn't remember exactly.
She had forgotten almost everything, even her former name as a noble lady. Just yesterday, before she started her career as a substitute, her name was Mulian.
It was really sad. She was born as a human being, and so were the others. Just because she looked a bit like the seventeenth son of the Shen family, she was abducted by Lord Shen. In that dark place, she had to compete cruelly with other sisters who shared the same fate. She survived after passing each test, and would be killed if she failed. If she was not strong enough, she would be one of the bones. She shuddered at the thought.
Mulian put down her chopsticks numbly and rubbed her face numbly. She was so excited that she almost vomited out the delicious food she had just eaten.
"Madam? Madam..."
Her strange behavior frightened the little maid, who hurriedly greeted her with concern, but a hint of disgust in her eyes inadvertently appeared.
Mulian was a very smart person. She naturally understood that her previous actions were looked down upon by the maid.
Mu Lian shook off the maid and said coldly, "You have no manners. Did I ask you to move? You are so unruly, and you are a maid from Duke Ji's mansion."
The little maidservant was intimidated by her and her action of reaching out her hand to comfort her froze there. Her little face turned red with shame and then she timidly retreated back to her place.
Mu Lian said coldly, "I'm tired. I'm going to go back and change my clothes and put on some makeup."
The little maid followed her.
Outside the winery.
Pu Zhao covered Shen Wen and retreated first. When he looked back, he was discovered by Xiao Quanzi's two men. These two men were covered with black spots, and they were very skilled. They didn't care whether Pu Zhao was a good person or not, and punched Pu Zhao head-on. The power of this punch was so great that Pu Zhao was knocked several meters away.
After Pu Zhao was hit hard by the punch, he rolled on the ground for several rounds before he stopped. He slowly stood up, moved his shoulders and neck, and repositioned his dislocated joints. The two assassins had already arrived in front of Pu Zhao again like lightning.
Pu Zhao's eyes were shining with fighting spirit. He said, "You are quite skilled. This is the first time I have met an opponent that matches me since I came here."
The three of them fought each other in an instant, and immediately sand and rocks flew, trees collapsed, and even the earth shook.
Xiao Quanzi, who was watching from a distance, witnessed the whole process and was horrified. He couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "These are a group of monsters, even scarier than the legendary Shura demons."
