Transmigrated as a Cannon Fodder Wife A in Ancient Times - Chapter 17
Chapter 17
In a short while, Qing Zhi brought Deng Jin back.
Before she could bow, Lu Zijin spoke, “No need to bow, quickly come and check on her, what exactly is wrong?”
“Yes,” Deng Jin sat by the bed and placed her hand on Wei Lan’s wrist.
Soon after, she spoke, “The lord has consumed a lot of trust incense these past few days, her body is weak, and with insufficient rest, she has a slight fever. I will prescribe some medicine for the lord. If the trust incense is overused, she should nourish her body regularly, or you, miss, could transfer your trust incense to the lord.”
Lu Zijin slightly furrowed her brow, “That won’t be necessary, I will have someone send more nourishing items to her.”
Lu Zijin looked at Deng Jin and continued, “Can I still draw her trust incense today?”
“Of course, but the lord needs to take some nourishing supplements first, otherwise her body might not hold up,” Deng Jin continued.
“Alright, you all go prepare, and by the way, Qing Zhi, clean out the room next door, and later help the lord to rest there.”
“Yes, miss,” a group of maids began to bustle about, and even though Yun Xiang was reluctant, she had to join in.
Lu Zijin did not like others sleeping with her, but since Wei Lan was the one she married to keep up appearances, she would not mistreat her. Since Wei Lan was ill, Lu Zijin could not let her walk back while sick.
Soon, the maids brought over a bowl of stewed rock sugar bird’s nest.
Lu Zijin propped herself up and gently patted Wei Lan’s face, “Lord? Lord, wake up and eat something.”
“Hm?” Wei Lan felt her eyelids were heavy, but she still opened her eyes and saw Lu Zijin talking to her.
Wei Lan felt even dizzier, “Are you done drawing? If you’re done, I’ll go back to sleep.”
Seeing Wei Lan’s dazed state and recalling the rules she had set before, Lu Zijin’s eyes curved slightly. The lord she chose was indeed obedient and well-behaved.
Lu Zijin’s tone softened a bit, “You have a slight fever, eat something first, then I can use your trust incense.”
“Alright, I’ll get up to eat,” Wei Lan, still dazed, propped herself up and took the bowl handed by the maid at the bedside.
She had never eaten this before, but it was soft, sweet, and delicious. Wei Lan finished the bowl of rock sugar bird’s nest in a few bites. After finishing, she looked at Lu Zijin innocently, “I’m done eating, Madam, you can bite now.”
As she spoke, she obediently lay back down, soft and pliant.
Lu Zijin’s lips couldn’t help but curve up. She glanced at the maids in the room, “All of you, leave and lower the bed curtains.”
“Yes.”
Several maids lowered the bed curtains in the room and respectfully left.
Yun Xiang nearly gritted her teeth to pieces. Just now, she saw the miss’s expression, and it seemed the miss did not dislike Wei Lan. If she wasn’t mistaken, the miss even smiled at Wei Lan just now. This was not a good sign. She needed to quickly inform the young master.
With that thought, Yun Xiang hurriedly returned to her room, grabbed a pen and ink, and quickly wrote a few sentences on paper. She left the courtyard to find a guard named Tian Da.
“Quickly deliver this to the young master, and make sure no one finds out,” Yun Xiang whispered urgently.
“Yes, I’ll go right away,” Tian Da replied and immediately headed to the side gate of the Lu Mansion, where the guards were his brothers, so no one would question him leaving.
After finishing this, Yun Xiang returned to Jingchen Courtyard.
Meanwhile, Tian Da quickly delivered Yun Xiang’s note to the Chen Mansion, directly to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou glanced at Tian Da and said to his attendant, “Su Er.”
“Yes, young master,” the attendant called Su Er quickly took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his body and handed it to Tian Da.
Tian Da’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, young master, thank you, young master.”
Chen Zhou gave a light hum and opened the note. But after reading it, his usual refined expression seemed to crack.
He tightly gripped the note in his hand and, after a long while, calmly said to Tian Da, “You did well in this matter. I have something for you to pass to Yun Xiang. Tell her to report everything about Zijin to me, big or small, especially anything related to that Wei Lan.”
“Yes, young master, rest assured, I will definitely deliver the item to Miss Yun Xiang,” Tian Da, having earned ten taels of silver, was now Chen Zhou’s most loyal servant. If Chen Zhou told him to go east, he wouldn’t dare go west.
“Su Er, give him the item,” Chen Zhou gave Su Er a look, and Su Er immediately took a rectangular box from his sleeve and handed it to Tian Da.
Tian Da took the item and was about to leave when Chen Zhou stopped him, “Wait.”
“What else does the young master need?” Tian Da asked.
“Tell Yun Xiang that I will definitely keep my promise to her,” Chen Zhou said.
“Oh, alright, young master, I will definitely pass on the message,” Tian Da flattered Chen Zhou a few more times before leaving.
Chen Zhou looked at Su Er and said with narrowed eyes, “You leave too.”
“Yes, young master.”
Once everyone had left, Chen Zhou’s face twisted with rage as he stared at the crumpled note in his hand, cursing, “Wei Lan, what are you? You dare climb into Zijin’s bed, you useless thing. You should take a good look at yourself in a puddle of piss. It won’t be long before you’re out of the Lu Mansion.”
With that, Chen Zhou swept the pastries and tea set off the table in one motion, then calmly adjusted his clothes, returning to his refined demeanor.
“Su Er, send someone to clean up,” Chen Zhou said.
Su Er cautiously arranged for someone to come in and clean.
On the other side, after eating a bowl of bird’s nest, Wei Lan’s complexion looked slightly better. Lu Zijin, as she had done before, straddled Wei Lan’s waist and leaned down toward her neck.
She glanced down at the person beneath her and said, “I’ve already had someone prepare medicine. You will obediently drink it later and rest in the room next door.”
“Alright, go ahead and bite.”
Feverish Wei Lan was unusually docile, her voice soft and sweet. Lu Zijin’s lips unconsciously curved into a smile. She reached out, pinched Wei Lan’s face, and turned it to one side. As she leaned toward Wei Lan’s neck, her gaze fell on the few bite marks there.
The tender bond mark was still slightly red. Lu Zijin tried to be gentler, not biting as hard as before, but she didn’t engage in any foreplay either. After all, such things were for people who loved each other. For her and Wei Lan, who were using each other, maintaining the status quo was enough.
When Lu Zijin bit down, Wei Lan let out a soft hum, her voice weak as she called out, “It hurts, be gentle, it tickles.”
Her soft, delicate voice sounded almost like she was being coy with Lu Zijin.
Already in a sensitive period, Lu Zijin felt her body heat up at Wei Lan’s voice, and her sucking grew stronger.
Wei Lan, seeing no one heeded her words, could only close her eyes pitifully and let herself be bitten. It was a while before Lu Zijin finally let go.
