Chapter 8: Temptation
Shen Chuchu swallowed her saliva, she pinched her palm, forcing herself to calm down.
"I just made two meals, why should the general be so polite. Shen Chuchu took out the jade pendant with a smile and looked at the sun, "This jade pendant has a good head, it should be worth a lot of silver." ”
Fu Heng narrowed his eyes and hooked the corners of his mouth, "What, you still want to sell it?"
"Look at what the general said. This is the reward given to me by the general, how could I possibly sell it. ”
"So, it's the first time you've seen this jade pendant?"
Shen Chuchu looked innocent, "Otherwise, such a good jade pendant, if it wasn't for the general's reward to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the fate to see it in this life." ”
Fu Heng looked at her deeply and sneered.
"You're right, with your identity, you don't deserve this jade pendant. ”
As he spoke, Fu Heng took the jade pendant away again.
Shen Chuchu was really stunned at this moment.
"General, ...... this?"
"I regret it and don't want to give it to you. ”
Fu Heng put away the jade pendant, turned around and went out.
Shen Chuchu looked at Fu Heng's back, gritted his teeth fiercely, and stingy Fu Heng!
Shen Chuchu was sick for a few days in a row, but Fu Heng came over to eat every day, dragging Fu Heng's blessings, and Shen Chuchu's food became better and better.
"I see you are framing me when you say you want to cook for me. Fu Heng said lightly, "What's the matter, isn't it time for you to beg General Ben to eat your meal?"
Shen Chuchu smiled awkwardly.
"The general laughed, how dare I deceive the general. Isn't it like I've been sick for the past two days? Now that this disease is cured, I will be able to wash my hands and make soup for the general tomorrow. ”
Fu Heng narrowed his eyes, "Healed?"
"That's right, Ming'er will accompany me to the racecourse. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Fu Heng glanced at Shen Chuchu and didn't speak again.
Until Fu Heng was sent away after eating, Shen Chuchu's heart was uneasy. What kind of moth does Fu Heng want to fix?
It wasn't until the next day that she received the riding clothes sent by Fu Heng that she understood. She didn't dispel Fu Heng's suspicions last time, he was still testing her!
Shen Chuchu looked at the clothes in the box and bit his lip.
This is clearly the riding outfit she wore in the past!
But...... Why did Fu Heng suddenly suspect her? Shen Chuchu frowned, and suddenly thought of something!
...... day Cui'er said that Fu Heng kept guarding her when she was asleep, could it be that she was confused and said something that shouldn't be said?
Shen Chuchu was worried, so he changed his clothes casually and walked outside. There was a carriage parked at the gate, and the little guy was waiting outside the carriage, "Miss Jiang." ”
Shen Chuchu pursed his lips and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, Fu Heng was wearing a dark riding suit, his eyebrows were cold, and he had the appearance of a cold-faced general who was rumored to be in the market.
He looked at Shen Chuchu, his eyes darkened slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he said in a hoarse voice, "You wear this dress very well." ”
Shen Chuchu smiled awkwardly, "Thank you General for giving me clothes." ”
"You wear this garment like an old man of mine. ”
Fu Heng looked at Shen Chuchu quietly, and his tone was flat, "Why don't you guess, like who?"
Shen Chuchu's heart was about to raise his throat.
She pretended to be surprised, and looked unaware, "Old man, I can actually have the honor of being like the old man of the general." I can't guess that. ”
Fu Heng chuckled.
"It is indeed your pleasure. ”
Shen Chuchu saw that he had no intention of questioning again, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Arrived at the horse farm. Shen Chuchu got out of the carriage after Fu Heng, she used to come to this horse farm often, and she couldn't be more familiar, but at this moment, she could only show a look of novelty about everything.
"The general brought me to ride a horse?"
Shen Chuchu pursed her lips, Jiang Chu is the niece of the former princess, but her family is in the middle of the road and has always lived in poverty, so she shouldn't be able to ride a horse.
"But I don't know how to ride a horse. Shen Chuchu smiled, "After sweeping the general's interest, I'll wait for the general on the side." ”
"It's okay, General Ben taught you. ”
Shen Chuchu's smile froze on his face.
Fu Heng sent someone to bring a jujube red horse, he turned over and stepped on, and stretched out his hand to Shen Chuchu, "Come up." ”
Shen Chuchu hesitated for a moment, but still handed his hand over.
Fu Heng used a slight force and dragged Shen Chuchu onto the horse, Shen Chuchu sat in front, Fu Heng half-hugged her behind her, and pulled the reins in his hand.
"Look ahead and clamp your legs on the horse's belly. Fu Heng said lightly.
Shen Chuchu stiffened, she swallowed her saliva, and turned her head tremblingly. The two were so close that Shen Chuchu almost leaned on Fu Heng's chest.
Look, he really likes Jiang Chu, otherwise with Fu Heng's character, how could he teach her to ride a horse.
Shen Chuchu gritted his teeth and couldn't help but get angry.
"Drive!"
Fu Heng snorted softly and drove his horse forward.
At first, it was okay, Fu Heng just drove the horse and walked slowly around the racecourse for two laps, but slowly, he trotted up on the horse, the speed became faster and faster, and the wind whistled in his ears, Shen Chuchu bit his lip and couldn't help but speak, "General......"
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Heng suddenly let go of the reins, and the whole person jumped forward and fell to the ground easily.
No one controlled the reins, and the horses ran harder.
Shen Chuchu was startled, and almost subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the reins, but just when his hand was about to touch the reins, Shen Chuchu suddenly thought of something.
By the way, Fu Heng gave her this dress today, and took her to the racecourse, and just suddenly jumped off the horse......
Fu Heng is still testing her!
Shen Chu Chu is good at riding and shooting, this is something that the entire capital knows, but Jiang Chu will not ......
Shen Chuchu gritted his teeth and restrained himself from pulling the reins. She grabbed the horse's neck tightly, and the whole person was stunned by the bumps as the horse galloped, and inadvertently, she saw Fu Heng standing not far away.
No way...... She has to be ruthless, and if she is tossed by Fu Heng again and again, she has to die.
Shen Chuchu closed her eyes tightly and slowly let go of her hand, she was ruthless, and the whole person fell out of the horse.
"Ahh
The moment Shen Chuchu fell, she almost felt that all the bones in her body were broken, and she even heard the sound of bones breaking clearly.
She fell to the ground, cold sweat from pain, and her consciousness gradually drifted away.
In a trance, she saw Fu Heng walking towards her.
Dogs, men, people!
/// ///
Shen Chuchu had an illness.
The doctor came to see and said that the calf was broken, but fortunately it was not too serious, and the doctor corrected the bone and applied a decoction and an external plaster every day. It's just that this illness has to be taken care of, after all, it hurts muscles and bones for a hundred days.
Fu Heng probably also felt a little guilty, he instructed the doctor to use the best decoction, and asked the small kitchen to stew bone broth every day and send it to Shen Chuchu to replenish his body.
After half a month, Shen Chuchu has mellowed a lot, and he can almost change his name to Shen Chubby.
These days, Fu Heng has been eating here at Shen Chuchu. Shen Chuchu was afraid that the princess of the county would have a crooked mind, and she had to limp to watch the cooking in the small kitchen every day.
Fu Heng once came early, and happened to see Shen Chuchu probing his brain at the door of the small kitchen, and asked with a frown, "What are you doing here." ”
Shen Chuchu was taken aback, it can't be said that it was to prevent someone from poisoning.
She struggled to speak, "I...... I'm so hungry, come over and smell it. ”
Cui'er listened behind her, and couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Chuchu glared at her, "What are you laughing at!"
Fu Heng was on the side, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. It's just that when he was eating at night, once Shen Chuchu put down his chopsticks, he said lightly, "Aren't you hungry?
Shen Chuchu had to continue to pick up chopsticks.
Finally, after dinner, Shen Chuchu was already paralyzed on the couch and couldn't move.
"Girl, you have eaten so much at night, and now you are lying here, you will accumulate food. Cui'er said.
"No more. Shen Chuchu rubbed his stomach, "I can't move even if I can't hold on." ”
"You have to go for a walk, or the night will be even worse. ”
Shen Chuchu struggled for a while, but still got up and limped out, Cui'er wanted to follow her, but she waved her hand and refused.
"I'll just walk by myself, it's so late, you can go and rest. ”
Shen Chuchu walked out along Xiyuan, her stomach was still uncomfortable, her legs and feet were not good, she stopped walking, and she was tired after a while. Just as she was about to walk back, she inadvertently heard the sound of rustling not far away.
She blinked, walked over curiously, hid behind a tree, and poked her head out slightly.
It's Fu Heng.
The moonlight was hazy and fell with silver frost. Fu Heng changed into a moon-white brocade robe, held a long sword, and danced sideways.
Shen Chuchu was a little distracted.
When was the last time she saw Fu Heng dancing with a sword? Probably before the wedding, she secretly went to the barracks to see him. It was also a bright moonlit night, she was playing the flute on the side, and Fu Heng was dancing the sword under the moonlight.
It is the Jade Crown Boy.
At that time, Fu Heng was the cinnabar mole on the tip of her heart.
"Huh"
Just as Shen Chuchu was thinking about it, a sword fell on her neck.
Shen Chuchu came back to his senses in fright, and when he looked up, he saw Fu Heng with a cold face.
"What are you doing here?" Fu Heng said coldly.
"I ...... I ate a little too much at night, came for a walk, and went to the general to dance the sword without opinion, and I was stunned for a while, so I asked the general to forgive me. ”
Fu Heng hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he opened his mouth casually, "Why are you called a general like this now, didn't you always have a cousin in the past?"
Careless!
Shen Chuchu smiled awkwardly, "This is not ...... I was young and ignorant and didn't understand the rules. ”
"So, do you understand the rules now?" Fu Heng's eyes were slightly cold, he picked up Shen Chuchu's chin with the tip of his sword, and said slowly, "What are the rules you know? Do you use Shen Chuchu to pretend to be a ghost to approach me, or do you secretly murder me with the princess of the county?"
Shen Chuchu's legs were weak, and he almost didn't kneel on the ground.
Did he know that the princess had poisoned him?
She looked up at Fu Heng and said tremblingly, "I don't know what the general means. ”
"Do you know why I didn't kill you, but left you in the General's Mansion?"
Shen Chuchu shook his head.
"Does Shen Chuchu's death have anything to do with you?"
Shen Chuchu's heart trembled, and she looked at Fu Heng in disbelief. What did he mean by that? Could it be that her death ...... Not an accident?
"It's okay if you don't answer. Fu Heng was not surprised at all when he saw that Shen Chuchu was silent, and he said lightly, "I didn't plan to hear you admit it." But General Ben will find out the truth by himself, and you better pray that there will never be such a day, otherwise if this matter has the slightest relationship with you, I will break you to pieces!"
In the end, he already had three points of killing intent.
Shen Chuchu bit her lip and forced herself to calm down, she said softly, "I really don't know anything. ”
Fu Heng sneered, withdrew his sword, and turned to leave.
It wasn't until Fu Heng's back gradually faded away that Shen Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief. Her face was a little ugly, and her mind was thinking about what Fu Heng had just said.
Shen Chuchu always thought that his death was purely unlucky, and now it seems that it may also be man-made.
After careful analysis, it is no wonder that Jiang Chu is suspicious, after all, it was Jiang Chu who angered her at that time, and she was angry and ran out alone and was killed.
But how did Jiang Chu, an orphan girl, collude with those bandits?
Shen Chuchu's head was too big to figure it out, so she simply didn't want to, turned around and went back to sleep, anyway, she was now on top of Jiang Chu's body, if it was really related to Jiang Chu, she would find the answer sooner or later.
Early the next morning, Cui'er sent a greeting post.
"For me?"
Shen Chuchu was a little surprised, isn't this Jiang Chu an orphan girl? Who will send her a worship post, could it be the princess of the county again?
"The second door maid sent it in, saying that it was for Miss Jiang. ”
Shen Chuchu took it, opened the post and saw that it was a flower banquet post, and the young lady of the Chen Mansion invited her to enjoy the plum blossoms.
At the check-in place, Chen Wanru's name is written.
Chen Wanru ......
Shen Chuchu remembered, she remembered that this person was the daughter of Chen Shangshu's family, Shen Chuchu and she had met twice at the palace banquet, she was a delicate eldest lady, what did she do...... Send a message to Jiang Chu.
"Is Miss Jiang going?"
Shen Chuchu yawned, "Go." ”
If she wants to find out the truth, she can't keep shrinking in the general's mansion and go out for a walk, maybe she can come across some useful clues.
Shen Chuchu changed his clothes, said to the little servant, prepared the carriage, and went to the Chen Mansion. I have to say that Fu Heng's coming to her to eat is still beneficial in addition to blocking her, at least the treatment has improved a lot.
When I arrived at Chen's house, there was a maid waiting at the door early in the morning.
"Miss Jiang, please. ”
The round-faced girl at the door greeted her with a smile, "Our young lady has been waiting for a long time, and many young ladies from various houses have come today, and Miss Jiang is just lively together." ”
Shen Chuchu had a smile on his face, and followed the round-faced girl all the way in.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Shen Chuchu froze.
The person sitting in the pavilion was actually Zhao Xiyue?
Well, she now knows what Chen Wanru has in mind, and the co-author is to send her to the tiger's mouth!
Yes, she can't afford to provoke and can't hide, Shen Chuchu gritted his teeth, turned around and was about to leave, who knew that before he could raise his feet, he heard Zhao Xiyue's voice behind him.
"Stop!"
