Chapter 4: Respective Identities
"Storybook?" Shen Minghui was a little confused. He had read it in a storybook? What did it mean?
"Don't worry about this for now. You call Master Zhang Grandmaster, so which one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang is your master? When did you come here? Has Master Zhang's centenary banquet been held?" Lin Yuxi was also curious about the situation on Shen Minghui's side, and couldn't wait to ask what she wanted to know.
"My master is the fourth disciple of our master, Zhang Songxi. Is this the 100th birthday banquet?" Shen Minghui sighed as he thought of the tragedy at the 100th birthday banquet. "It's been almost ten years!"
"Oh, that means the siege of Bright Summit is coming soon!" Lin Yuxi calculated the timeline and said, and seeing Shen Minghui was curious, she told him about the grievances and love between the playboy Zhang Wuji and the four beauties.
In the end, they unknowingly talked about their original bodies again. Thinking that Shen Minghui had seen it, Lin Yuxi hesitated for a moment, and still briefly explained the space to Shen Minghui. She tried secretly, and found that she could not bring Shen Minghui into the space, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course Shen Minghui noticed Lin Yuxi's actions, but he didn't care. They had just met, and if Lin Yuxi gave her trust so easily, then Shen Minghui would be worried. After all, marrying a wife who was too naive would be too painful, and Shen Minghui didn't want his future life to be in chaos.
What Shen Minghui was thinking was, "Why would Shen Mingzhu want this wooden sign?" Then he thought about Shen Mingzhu's shameless attitude when she left, which was obviously a little abnormal.
"..." Lin Yuxi also thought of this question, "Maybe someone else has changed!" But just changing someone else can't explain why she wanted the wooden sign, unless she knew it was a treasure?
No... no way?
"What did you think of?" Shen Minghui saw that Lin Yuxi looked strange and asked.
"Do you think our current world is also a storybook world? Shen Mingzhu has read..." Lin Yuxi swallowed nervously and spoke slowly. Although her tone was hesitant, Lin Yuxi knew that this should be the truth. After all, there was no trace of time on Shen Mingzhu's body, so she couldn't be reborn, so she could only have traveled through time!
I don't know what role I play in this, the heroine? The supporting actress? Or the female cannon fodder?
Thinking about the original owner's rough life experience, Lin Yuxi guessed that the original owner's role would not be low.
The original body's father was the Marquis of Changle, and his ancestors were also a prominent family. Unfortunately, the family fell into poverty and could no longer continue, so he had to marry the original body's mother, Chang Yulan, the daughter of a wealthy merchant. However, after seizing the Chang family's wealth, the Marquis of Changle's family turned their backs on him.
He directly executed the original body's mother and married his beloved cousin. If it weren't for the loyal servant who protected him and helped him escape from the mansion, the original body would have been killed long ago.
Thinking of the last time he met his mother in his original memory, he saw the despair in his mother's eyes.
"Xi'er... run away... never come back... find a place to live a good life..."
Thinking of that scene, Lin Yuxi felt uncomfortable. She knew that was the original body's emotion, and she could even clearly feel the helplessness and despair of the original body.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yuxi came back to her senses, looked at the concern in Shen Minghui's eyes, and felt warm in her heart, "I'm fine, I just remembered some things about my original body, but it has nothing to do with us." She had suppressed the hatred of her original body, and now she was in her place, there was still nothing she could do! The gap in status was too big, and it was too difficult to take revenge. She couldn't sacrifice her current family for the sake of her original body's temporary happiness.
The two chatted for a few more sentences and then went to bed to rest. After all, they had been busy all day and were almost exhausted both physically and mentally.
The next day
Shen Minghui got up early for morning exercises. He wanted to hurry up and pick up his martial arts skills. He was not used to such a weak body.
When Lin Yuxi woke up, Shen Minghui was gone. She took her time to tidy herself up, opened the door, and saw her son playing in the yard with his cousins.
"Mom!" Shen Ze was the first to react when he saw the door open. A big smile appeared on his face and he rushed up impatiently.
"Fourth Aunt!" "Fourth Aunt" When the children saw Fourth Aunt, they all shouted happily.
"Good boy!" Lin Yuxi hugged little Shen Ze before putting him down. Seeing the polite child in front of her, she also smiled and greeted him.
"Aunt Four, does your head still hurt? Did we disturb your rest?" Shen Yu, who was older, knew that Aunt Four had lost a lot of blood yesterday. Seeing Lin Yuxi get up, he couldn't help but start to worry.
"Aunt Four, it's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore!" Seeing the sensible little girl who was only ten years old, Lin Yuxi was full of favor. Speaking of it, the original owner's brothers and sisters-in-law were all very good, and the children were also educated very well. It was incredible that the bad bamboos in the original owner's in-laws' family, except for Shen Mingzhu, were all good bamboo shoots.
"Sister-in-law, why are you up so early?"
"That's right, Fourth Sister-in-law, you were injured so badly, didn't Doctor Chen tell you to rest more? Why are you up? Go back and lie down! We are here to take care of you!"
"Yes, sister-in-law, are you still worried about me and my second sister-in-law? We are here for you! Breakfast will be ready soon! You should take a rest first!"
Xu and Zhao were busy preparing breakfast for the family in the kitchen. When they heard Lin Yuxi's voice, they hurried out to check.
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, I'm fine. I just came out for a walk. I lay down all day yesterday!" Lin Yuxi looked at the concern in the eyes of her two sisters-in-law, and her heart warmed. She explained with a smile.
"What do you mean it's okay? It's such a big cut! If it were broken...ah, bah...look at my broken mouth, don't take it to heart, sister-in-law. I'll ask the boss to find scar removal medicine for you. There will be no scar left!" After saying this, Zhao wanted to slap herself. She was really talking about something that was irrelevant.
Seeing that the third sister-in-law was acting stupid again, Mrs. Xu felt helpless. She took Lin Yuxi's hand and comforted her, "The wound on the fourth sister-in-law is more flattering. Wait for the second sister-in-law to teach you a few new hairstyles. We will cover it up like this and I guarantee that it won't be visible at all. When you go out, you will still be the fourth daughter-in-law of the old Shen family, who is as bright and beautiful as a group of beauties!"
Lin Yuxi smiled when she heard this. This second sister-in-law was just as eloquent and flexible as she remembered. No wonder she could get praise from her mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law in the old Shen family. It seemed that she still had a lot to learn.
"Sister-in-law, you are teasing me again! You guys should relax. I am not that fragile. I just got a small cut and I won't let anyone mention it!"
Lin Yuxi calmed the two women's tense nerves, knowing that what happened yesterday had also frightened her two sisters-in-law.
"And just like my sister-in-law said, my wound is pretty easy to spot, so it won't be a big deal if I cover it up. Besides, I'm applying medicine on it, so it won't necessarily leave a scar! You guys don't have to worry about me!"
