The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 107
“Let’s not worry about that for now. What are you going to do about Mei Si?” Wu Zhen looked like she was enjoying a good show.
Liu Taizhen glared at her and said, “Of course we have to erase his memory.”
Wu Zhen poured cold water on the plan, “But wasn’t it useless to erase his memory last time?”
Liu Taizhen: “We have to try again.”
Wu Zhen knew her character, so she didn’t try to persuade her. She just said, “Well, if you really want to mess with Mei Si, then go ahead. But, Little Snake, don’t mess with him to the point of hurting him. You have to know when to stop.”
Although she said it with a smile, Liu Taizhen could tell she was serious. She snorted again, “I know, I can’t scare him to death.”
Wu Zhen suddenly said something out of nowhere, “Mei Si admires Bai She Lang, the author of ‘Notes on Monsters and Ghosts’, very much. He was even preparing a scroll of monsters and ghosts from ‘Notes on Monsters and Ghosts’ for Bai She Lang. His sincere admiration is obvious to all.”
Liu Taizhen was a little surprised but soon regained her indifference and said nothing.
Wu Zhen suppressed her laughter and said, “Little Snake, since Mei Si likes you so much, how about you at least be gentler?”
Liu Taizhen: “…For your sake.”
After resolving the matter, Wu Zhen went home that night and told her husband about how Mei Si had mistakenly entered the Monster Market.
“Do you think Mei Si would be more frightened if I turned into a cat in front of him one day?” Wu Zhen crossed her legs and fanned herself inside the mosquito net.
Mei Zhuyu shook his head. “Not good.”
Wu Zhen: “Why, are you afraid I’ll really scare him?”
Mei Zhuyu shook his head again. “If it’s really necessary, I’ll summon a ghost to show him.”
The implication was that she didn’t need to turn into a cat. Wu Zhen understood that her husband was subtly expressing his jealousy.
She figured it out and smiled again. She held her husband’s fingers with one hand, leaned close to him, and whispered, “Don’t worry, Little Sanek knows her limits. I’ve also warned her that Mei Si must be fine.” As she spoke, a mysterious look appeared on her face again. “Maybe for him, this is a blessing rather than a curse.”
Two days later, Mei Si came to see Wu Zhen again. Compared with the last time when he was depressed, this time Mei Si seemed to be more embarrassed to talk about it.
Finally, under Wu Zhen’s questioning, he blushed and said hesitantly, “I suspect that Liu Taizhen might… may have a crush on me…”
The wine in Wu Zhen’s mouth immediately sprayed all over the floor. Mei Si was really imaginative. She put down her wine glass and asked curiously, “How did you figure that out?”
Mei Si said angrily, “I was sleeping, and I found her next to my bed in the middle of the night. She touched my forehead. I was so scared that I felt dizzy, and I didn’t dare to say anything. I could only close my eyes and pretend to sleep. If she didn’t have feelings for me, why did she sneak into my room in the middle of the night and only touch my forehead?”
Wu Zhen looked at his uncomfortable and embarrassed expression and didn’t know what to say for a moment. After all, it wasn’t the first day that Mei Si had overthought things.
Mei Si scratched his hair in annoyance. “I thought she was going to eat me, but she just left without doing anything. So I wondered if she… if she has any feelings for me…”
Wu Zhen thought, ‘Silly child, she wasn’t touching your forehead; she was trying to erase your memory. I guess you were not dizzy from fear, but because you were affected by her magic power.’
Thinking this in her heart, Wu Zhen said nothing. She patted Mei Si’s shoulder, suppressed her smile, and told him maliciously, “This is just right. Look, since she likes you, you don’t have to worry about your life.”
But after hearing what she said, Mei Si felt even more awkward. “No, anyway, anyway, no.” He muttered, “Liu, the daughter of the Liu family, she is seven years older than me…”
Wu Zhen slapped him on the head. “I’m older than your cousin too; what do you mean by that?”
Seeing that she was smiling, Mei Si did not dare to cry out in pain and immediately ran away, holding his head.
Wu Zhen had been finding amusement in telling stories about Mei Si and Liu Taizhen. When she heard something interesting from Mei Si, she immediately thought it would be better to share the joy with others rather than keep it to herself, so she ran to find Liu Taizhen to share it.
However, one of the parties involved, Liu Taizhen, was not as happy about the matter as Wu Zhen. She had a dark face and was unusually angry. Her pretty face was so stiff it was as if a horse could almost run across it.
“What an insolent boy!” She shouted angrily, very upset.
But it was only for a moment; she quickly calmed down again, gritted her teeth, and said to Wu Zhen, “I don’t care about this matter. Since the memory can’t be erased, you just need to take good care of him in the future and not let him talk nonsense everywhere.”
Seeing that she was about to discard the troublesome burden, Wu Zhen felt quite sorry. She wanted to see more fun, so she advised her, “Hey, don’t give up so quickly. Try a few more times. Maybe you’ll succeed in erasing his memory next time.”
Liu Taizhen didn’t want to talk to her at all. She picked up a white jade snake paperweight from the table and threw it at Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen reached out and caught it lightly, then placed it on the couch beside her. Seeing that Liu Taizhen was really angry, she didn’t dare to provoke her further. She patted her and jumped out of the window, leaving.
Before leaving, she did not forget to say, “Really not considering Mei Si? I watched this boy grow up. Although he is a little reserved and arrogant with people he doesn’t know well, he is very easy to bully once you get to know him…”
Before she finished speaking, a bunch of things were thrown at the window again. Wu Zhen decisively shut up and left, leaving behind only a burst of laughter.
Wu Zhen was happy for a long time, riding her horse and strolling on the street, waving the whip and thinking about where to kill time, when suddenly, a call came, “Second Lady!”
It was a servant from the Duke Yu’s Mansion. Wu Zhen had not been back to Duke Yu’s Mansion for a long time. Ever since she got married, her father had been eating vegetables and radishes and beating wooden fish in the temple without returning every month. So there were only a few servants sweeping the house every day. There shouldn’t have been any problems, but the visitor looked anxious.
“Second Lady, I finally found you! Something happened. Please go back to Duke Yu’s Mansion and take a look!”
Wu Zhen raised her eyebrows. Something happened?
When she returned to the Duke Yu’s Mansion, she saw a middle-aged servant with a dusty face standing at the door, with two guards beside him. The middle-aged servant was well-dressed and seemed to be a servant of high status and valued by his master. When he saw Wu Zhen getting off the horse, he hurried forward, bowed his head, and said, “Is it the Second Lady? I am an old servant of the Pei family in Kunzhou, and I am responsible for taking care of Liu Lang on weekdays.”
