Chapter 36 Lan Chongzhou: Could Lan Wanru's illness be fake?
"Fourth brother, this blood is too bitter, I didn't bring any preserves..." Lan Wanru pulled Lan Chongzhou's sleeve and shook it, with a hint of crying in her tone.
She still wants to act like a spoiled child like before.
"Before taking the blood, I drank Chinese medicine and ate candied fruits. The blood is not bitter." Lan Chongzhou looked at Lan Wanru pulling her sleeves coquettishly, but his tone did not change much.
He suddenly thought of Lan Yunyi. Lan Wanru was afraid of the pain when drinking blood, but Lan Yunyi had to drink those bitter and astringent Chinese medicines every day, and cut a cut on her wrist with a knife every day.
How painful is this? How painful is it?
Lan Chongzhou didn't dare to think about it carefully.
Lan Wanru cautiously raised her head and glanced at him, only to find that his expression showed no sign of relaxing.
She thought: It must be because Lan Yunyi in the morning made him unhappy, why the fourth brother's face is so cold and scary now.
So she took a deep breath and reluctantly picked up the bowl of blood.
The blood in the bowl was thick and sticky, and the strong smell of blood made her feel like she was walking in a mass grave. She only smelled it up close, and her mind went blank.
So disgusting.
Lan Wanru was about to vomit.
"Wanru?" Seeing that Lan Wanru was still holding the blood, Lan Chongzhou's eyebrows knitted tighter and he asked aloud.
Lan Wanru listened to the urging in her ears, her heart skipped a beat, she pinched her nose and drank the blood.
The sticky blood rushed out of her throat in panic, and the fishy smell surged into her nose and spread to her forehead. Lan Wanru was choked so hard that her whole body was trembling.
"Ugh, vomit vomit... vomit vomit..."
At that moment, she felt like her soul was leaving her body.
"Wanru?" Lan Chongzhou looked at her with a very unaccustomed look, and his eyes became a little darker.
Lan Wanru looked at the remaining half of the bowl of blood with tearful eyes, pinched her nose and drank it down, feeling a buzzing in her ears.
So disgusting, really disgusting.
She put the empty bowl on the tray with trembling hands, but she really didn't want to take the next bowl.
This bitch took so much blood and still didn't die. Was she transformed from a cow?
Lan Wanru was a little angry.
She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and spoke hesitantly to Lan Chongzhou: "Fourth brother, I drink the blood separately on weekdays. I will take this portion back and drink it at night.
…”
Lan Chongzhou nodded expressionlessly and said calmly to Lan Wanru: "Since you can't finish the drink, take it back. Wanru, I'm tired."
When Lan Wanru got the promise, even Qiaodie didn't wait, she ran and jumped out.
The smell of blood still lingered in her nose, so she had to go back and spit it out.
vomit…………
Lan Chongzhou looked at Lan Wanru's leaving figure and sat on the bed without moving.
His expression was a little sad, and his heart was a little timid. He was afraid that he would discover the truth and know that he had done something wrong from the beginning.
"Master, you just fainted again after taking the blood. There is no one here now. You should sleep for a while." Ah Hao looked at Lan Chongzhou's white lips and felt very distressed.
"Ah Hao," Lan Chongzhou's teeth chattered as he hesitated to speak, "Tell me, Wanru, is she...not sick at all?"
"There are two big bowls of blood every day. If the eldest lady doesn't drink it, where will it be poured? Don't think too much, no one would rush to drink human blood!" Ah Hao looked at Lan Chongzhou's gray face.
With a look on his face, he hurriedly comforted him.
"Yes, where can it be dumped? It will arouse suspicion wherever it is dumped..." Lan Chongzhou murmured to himself.
——————————————
Lan Yunyi's shop will open tomorrow.
Lan Wanru felt that the income from her shop was not high enough, so she brought Princess Lingshu to Lan Yunyi's shop early in the morning to cause trouble, hoping to take out all the anger she suffered from Lan Chongzhou yesterday on Lan Yunyi.
"Princess, you said you liked my shop a few days ago. This is the genuine Wufangzhai shop, and the location is better. Would you like to come in and take a look?"
Lan Wanru held Princess Lingshu's hand, and they looked like little sisters.
The two little sisters casually walked into Lan Yunyi's unopened shop. They felt like they were in a deserted place. Lan Wanru's tone sounded like she was visiting her own house.
"Yes, this shop has good lighting and good decoration. The new decoration looks several times more upscale than your shop!"
"The owner of the shop seems to have better aesthetics than you. Your shop looks a bit rustic. I really like this shop better!"
Princess Lingshu nodded with satisfaction, her head covered with pearls, and the jade stones on her body made a clanking sound.
Lan Wanru's face darkened after hearing Princess Lingshu's words. She rolled her eyes without leaving a trace, forced herself to grin, and walked toward the kitchen with Princess Lingshu without leaving a trace.
"You two ladies, our shop is not open today. If you want to have a meal, please come back tomorrow."
Li Erniu saw the person coming and hurriedly blocked the person at the entrance of the kitchen. If they entered the kitchen, wouldn't they see everything?
So how can we open tomorrow?
Being stopped unexpectedly, Princess Lingshu's displeasure was written on her face. She crossed her arms across her chest and rolled her eyes at Li Erniu arrogantly, with a rather impatient tone.
"Hey, I'm the princess!"
"Oh. Please, the two princesses, please go out first." Li Erniu didn't hear anything.
Princess Lingshu stamped her feet angrily and raised her voice: "I think your shop is very good. I bought it for a hundred taels of silver. Do you understand?"
Lan Yunyi heard this when she just came out of the kitchen. She looked at her with wide eyes, and there was some surprise in her eyes.
Is the princess mentally ill?
After hearing this, Lan Wanru couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
The princess wants to buy a shop, how dare she not sell it?
"One hundred taels of silver? Even the shopkeepers who bought my shop didn't pay this price. If you don't believe me, ask the little maid next to you to see how much she spent to buy Ma Shixian?" Lan Yunyi smiled at her and turned to look.
By Lan Wanru.
Lan Wanru was stunned for a while before she realized that Lan Yunyi was talking about herself!
Not only did she mock her for spending five hundred taels to buy Ma Shixian, but she also said that she looked like a maid standing next to Princess Lingshu?
"Who do you think is the maid?" Lan Wanru's voice became shrill, like a cross-eyed chicken.
"Ah, it's not you I was talking about just now... So you are her maid?" Lan Yunyi covered her mouth with a pretentious look, looking in disbelief.
"Well, it looks quite similar~"
"you--"
Lan Wanru was so angry that her chest heaved. She pointed at Lan Yunyi and was about to scold her, but was stopped by the smiling Princess Lingshu next to her.
"Hey, what she said makes sense, and she didn't mean it. Why are you reacting so strongly?" Princess Lingshu raised her chin proudly.
Lan Wanru became even more angry all of a sudden, and her breathing became louder.
"So how much does it cost to sell your shop? I'm interested in it, and it's mine!" Princess Lingshu said persistently, with a somewhat aggressive tone in her words.
