Chapter 178 I Burned Him with Fire
Shen Ruolan looked at Ji Han, who was nagging, with an unhappy expression. Then, without waiting for him to stretch out his hand, she grabbed his hand and started taking his pulse.
Ji Han looked at the slender, white, and bony fingers that were holding him, and his expression couldn't help but twist.
The longer Ji Han spent with his master, the more he was attracted by her temperament. He knew that this was wrong, but he couldn't control his heart.
Now that he knew she really had a husband, he suddenly felt a little lost.
Shen Ruolan didn't know what Ji Han was thinking. She checked his pulse and found that he had serious internal injuries but no external injuries. She stood up and said to him, "Your internal injuries are quite serious. I'll ask Ji Ning to boil some medicine for you and send it over later."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "Just stay at home and take good care of your injuries for the next few days."
"Yes," Ji Han replied with his head down.
When Shen Ruolan came out of Ji Han's house, she saw a group of people digging holes and chopping wood outside her house. Shen Ruolan walked up to them and asked, "What are you doing?"
When Yan Mo saw Shen Ruolan coming, he walked over to her, gave her a dry laugh and said, "Concubine Lan, let's build a house here."
Shen Ruolan refused without thinking: "No, if you want to build a house, please go somewhere else, not in my Fuzhai."
What a joke, letting them build a house next to her house, wouldn't that mean they would be hanging around in front of her all day long? Wouldn't that make things difficult for herself?
Seeing that Shen Ruolan was unwilling to let them build a house, Yan Mo looked at her with embarrassment and said, "Concubine Lan, we are just following orders."
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." Shen Ruolan paused after she finished speaking, looked at Yan Mo and continued: "Also, I'm Shen Ruolan now, not your Concubine Lan. If I hear someone calling me Concubine Lan again, get out of here."
Shen Ruolan entered her yard and told Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, go inform Shen Jing and ask him to bring a team of people over to move all the wood outside to the kitchen for the fire."
After Shen Ruolan gave Ji Ning her instructions, she looked at Jiang Dichen who was playing with the child and said word by word: "Whoever dares to build a house outside my house, I will burn him to death."
Ji Ning was shocked by what her master said. She secretly glanced at the nobleman beside her and replied to her master, "Yes, Master. I will go find Captain Shen right away."
Jiang Dichen looked at the familiar person in front of him, and he became so strange that he was slightly stunned. Then he handed the child to Aunt Liu beside him, stood up and said to Shen Ruolan: "Wanxi, shall we go out and talk?"
Shen Ruolan said to him with a cold face: "I have nothing to talk to you about."
After she finished speaking, she let him go and called Liu Gu and Shi Gu into her room.
Jiang Dichen was left alone there, with a rogue look on his face. As Shen Ruolan ignored him, he really didn't know what to do even though he was good at strategizing.
He had humbled himself, apologized to her and begged for her forgiveness, but she was still so cold, which made Jiang Dichen feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
Shen Qi came in from outside and said to Jiang Dichen with a mocking look: "Why bother? When she was in your palace before, you didn't care about her. Now that she doesn't ask you for anything, you should be happy."
From the conversation between the two just now, Shen Qi heard a lot of things that happened between the two in the palace. One of them was that his granddaughter had once asked him for the position of his legal wife. He was afraid that Jiang Dichen had said some harsh words at that time, which caused his granddaughter to dislike him now.
Jiang Dichen listened to Shen Qi's words, he turned around and looked at him and said: "Senior Shen, this is a matter between the king and her, the king does not want outsiders to interfere."
When Lan Wanxi asked him for the position of wife under such circumstances, any man would not easily agree to her request.
Because from the perspective at that time, it was simply ridiculous. A woman who didn't even let you touch her suddenly wanted to be your wife. Would you be willing?
Of course, after going through some things, he also understood that all this was because he was not good enough. If he had given her enough sense of security from the beginning, he thought, she would still be the docile and well-behaved Concubine Lan today.
Such a gentle and graceful woman was forced by him to become a tomboy. Jiang Dichen admitted that he had indeed done something wrong in their relationship.
The more Jiang Dichen thought about it, the more he blamed himself. Fortunately, it was still not too late. He would change and compensate her in the future.
Shen Qi snorted coldly at Jiang Dichen and said, "Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me, but if you dare to force my Ruolan, don't blame me for being rude."
"I won't force her." Jiang Dichen said.
Since she didn't want to go back to the capital with him, the worst that could happen was that he would stay here with them.
"You wouldn't dare!" Shen Qi said, and then stepped into the house.
At this time, Yan Mo reported outside the door: "Master, the scaffolding we built was forcibly dismantled."
If they were just a group of powerless villagers, they could have knocked them down in a few moves, but since they were Lan Wanxi's men, they didn't dare to move.
Jiang Dichen rubbed his brows with a headache. He thought for a moment and told them, "Since she doesn't want us to stay here, let's go to a place farther away."
"Yes," Yan Mo said, turned around and left.
Shen Ruolan stayed in the house taking care of the children the entire afternoon, and only went out to prepare dinner when it was almost dark.
After all, today is the first day of the new year, and her grandfather and uncle are here. She can't neglect them because of Jiang Dichen.
Their dinner was also simple, just a stir-fried meat, a stewed pork ribs, and a wild vegetable, but the portions were all large.
After dinner was ready, Shen Ruolan didn't even look at Jiang Dichen, nor did she call him to eat. She called her grandfather and uncle and started eating.
But Jiang Dichen was not a shy person. Since Shen Ruolan didn't call him, he took the initiative to come in. He walked to Shen Ruolan and sat down. He took the chopsticks in front of him, handed them to her with a smile and said, "Wanxi, this is for you."
Shen Ruolan snatched the chopsticks from Jiang Dichen's hand, stretched out her hand to him, and said expressionlessly: "I don't entertain strangers here. If you want to eat, you have to pay."
Jiang Dichen was helpless when he saw Shen Ruolan was about to ask him for money. He then took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Wanxi, do you think this is enough? If not, I will continue to make up for it."
Shen Ruolan glanced at the banknote and said to him, "I, Shen Ruolan, am neither a robber nor a bandit. I just want what I deserve, so just give me three taels of silver."
"Wanxi, you..." Jiang Dichen was so angry at Shen Ruolan that he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt that today was the day he had the best temper since he was a child.
If it were any other time, Shen Ruolan would have lost her head countless times.
However, as long as she is happy, whatever she says is what it is.
