Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 315 It turns out... everything is wrong

People were coming and going on the street, but at this moment they all seemed to have faded away, and even the noisy sounds gradually disappeared from their ears.

Doctor Zhou stared fixedly at Miss Shen in front of him, who was wearing a plain white silk dress, and was unable to think for a moment.

After a moment, he raised his foot and slowly walked towards Miss Shen, finally stopping at a suitable distance.

"Miss Shen..."

Shen Lingshuang knelt politely and greeted, "Doctor Zhou."

"You... have you always known that I was wrong?" Doctor Zhou asked, looking into her eyes.

Shen Lingshuang showed a puzzled expression, not knowing what he meant by the question.

When Doctor Zhou saw her reaction, he knew that she didn't know that he liked her.

"The girl who treated smallpox patients with me that year... was you, right?" Doctor Zhou asked another question.

Shen Lingshuang's pupils trembled, her expression was stunned, and her hands hanging on both sides subconsciously grabbed her dress.

She bit her lip and whispered, "Doctor Zhou, I hope you can keep this matter confidential."

"So it's you, right?" Doctor Zhou took a step forward with a hint of excitement, his voice urgent.

Shen Lingshuang didn't know why he was so excited, but she still replied, "It's me."

Hearing those two words, Doctor Zhou smiled bitterly.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me when you knew I was wrong?"

After he finished speaking, Doctor Zhou suddenly understood that it was just his wishful thinking back then.

I didn't tell him because there was no need.

Realizing this, Doctor Zhou lowered his eyes dejectedly, then slowly turned around.

But at this moment, Shen Lingshuang reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and then their eyes met.

Shen Lingshuang looked at him anxiously and asked urgently, "What did you do wrong?"

Doctor Zhou's gaze slowly shifted from the hand on his sleeve to Shen Lingshuang's eyes. He spoke in a low voice, "I thought Ruqiu was you."

Upon hearing his words, Shen Lingshuang was stunned.

What was he talking about? What did he mean by "he thought Ruoqiu was me?" He and Ruoqiu...

Suddenly, some images and sounds appeared in Shen Lingshuang's mind.

After the free clinic ended, in order to cover up her lie, she went to her maternal grandparents' house to meet up with her mother, and then went home together.

Afterwards, she was troubled for a long time because of Doctor Zhou, so she decided to go to her good friend Zhou Ruoqiu to talk about her true feelings.

As a result, Doctor Zhou was seen giving Zhou Ruqiu a gift near Zhou's house, and his words were full of admiration.

Later, Zhou Ruoqiu shared with him her interactions with Doctor Zhou.

"Lingshuang, what do you think of Dr. Zhou from the Imperial Hospital?"

"Lingshuang, he said he likes me."

"Lingshuang, we are together."

"Lingshuang, he said he would come and ask for my hand in marriage when I grow up a little bit. Do you know why? Because he thinks it's bad for a girl's health to get married too early, and he's thinking about me."

"Lingshuang, you will bless me, right?"

"Lingshuang, you must come when I get married..."

Those words pierced her heart one by one, and at the same time told her again and again that she was being too sentimental.

Shen Lingshuang understood everything...

She clearly felt Doctor Zhou's feelings for her back then, how could he change his mind so suddenly?

It turns out... everything was wrong.

"Doctor Zhou." Shen Lingshuang looked him in the eyes intently. "You think you're attracted to Ruoqiu because she's mine, right?"

Doctor Zhou nodded, "...Yes."

Shen Lingshuang's eyes immediately turned red. "Then why are you asking me those questions today?"

"I want to figure out what I feel now."

"That……"

"Young lady." Shen Lingshuang's personal maid suddenly interrupted her, "This is not the place to talk."

Hearing this, Shen Lingshuang subconsciously glanced around. Seeing the puzzled looks from the people around her, she quickly withdrew her hand from her sleeve.

"Doctor Zhou, can we talk somewhere else?"

Doctor Zhou subconsciously wanted to respond with "OK", but the words of the Dali Temple Minister suddenly came to his mind, so he hesitated.

Seeing this, Shen Lingshuang mistakenly thought that he had confirmed his current feelings and felt that there was no need to say anything more.

But she still asked with hope: "Aren't you leaving?"

"Lord Shen hopes that I won't meet you until I'm sure of my feelings." Doctor Zhou explained.

Shen Lingshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second her eyes suddenly widened.

"Father...Father knows?"

Doctor Zhou nodded slightly, "Miss Shen, I don't want to lie to you. I'll come see you again when I figure it out."

After saying that, he bowed to Miss Shen and turned to leave.

Shen Lingshuang didn't try to persuade him to stay. She just watched the figure walking away and murmured to herself, "I'll help you figure it out."

Because the weather was cold, Jiang Yueyang did not go anywhere else after leaving the palace and went straight home.

At this moment, she just returned to the door of her home.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Jiang Yueyang saw someone moving things to the house next door.

She looked puzzled. Feng Yichen moved back again?

Although she had doubts in her heart, she was not in a hurry to resolve them. So, she withdrew her gaze and walked into the house.

After returning to Lanyue Pavilion, changing her clothes, and lying on the recliner with Yunyue in her arms, she looked at the courtyard wall and called Xiangling over.

"Girl, you called me?"

Jiang Yueyang raised her chin towards the courtyard wall and asked, "Has the family next door moved back in?"

"No. I heard the Feng family sold the house, and the new owner has moved in now."

"Did you find out who the new neighbor next door is?"

Xiangling shook her head. "Those people next door are very talkative. I didn't get to know anything. Strangely enough, there aren't a single maid or old woman next door. They're all young men."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang frowned slightly. They were all men, so there must be something strange going on.

"Qingming, Guyu, please pay attention to the neighbors."

"promise."

Jiang Yueyang said nothing more and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, Ling Feng, who was keeping the peonies warm in the flower garden, glanced at Jiang Yueyang inconspicuously, and then looked next door.

After leaving Zuixianju, Wen Shuyan did not go home, but took Fuqiu to Banyue Mountain.

Whenever she is in a bad mood or wants to be alone, she comes here to write and draw.

At this moment, she was sitting in the pavilion and carefully writing the three big characters "Zuixianju".

Judging from the handwriting, she was imitating Li Yan's own creation "Xing Luo", but it seemed that she couldn't write it well.

Fuqiu was grinding ink for her, her eyes full of heartache.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sun set and the afterglow dyed the sky.

Fuqiu gently reminded: "Miss, we should go back."

Wen Shuyan responded, moved the paper in front of her, and slowly wrote down a poem.

Then, after picking up the crumpled pieces of waste paper on the ground, they got up and left.

Not long after, Li Yan arrived at the pavilion.

Seeing a poem spread out on the table, he subconsciously looked around but saw no one.

At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that he missed it again.

After feeling frustrated, he reached out and picked up the paper on the table, and suddenly found that the words on it... the ink was not dry yet.
