Chapter 61 - A wave of dizziness
Qin Ruo Chu looked at Shen Mu Sheng and took a deep breath. Then, he placed his hand on Shen Mu Sheng's hand and got out of the carriage.
In an instant, the surrounding discussions could not be suppressed either, and everyone turned their gazes from Shen Mu Sheng to Qin Ruo Chu.
Shen Mu Sheng extended his hand and wrapped his arm around Qin Ruo Chu's waist, and completely ignored them, walking straight ahead.
Qin Ruo Chu maintained a gentle and magnanimous smile on her face, her gaze remained calm, but a few words still reached her ears.
"This is the Shen Tong's wife? "I heard that she got married without the old lady's permission and was good at making decisions …"
"Look, she's clearly a little girl, this …" "How can she be the Shen family's mistress? She's just messing around, isn't she …"
Qin Ruo Chu secretly bit his lips, threw these words to the back of his mind, and followed Shen Mu Sheng's footsteps with determination.
After walking two steps, a feeling of dizziness suddenly came over, causing Qin Ruo Chu's vision to instantly turn white, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. His legs went soft and Qin Ruo Chu almost kneeled on the ground. Fortunately, Shen Mu Sheng's senses were sharp, and the hand around her waist suddenly tightened with force, causing Qin Ruo Chu to not kneel down.
Shen Mu Sheng turned his head to look at Qin Ruo Chu, and beneath his calm exterior, there was even a moment of panic. Qin Ruo Chu focused his mind, a smile forcefully formed on his lips, but his footsteps did not stop.
"No problem, keep walking. Don't stop." Qin Ruo Chu said in a voice that only two people could hear. Shen Mu Sheng's hands tightened around her waist, exposing his blue veins. He was enduring.
Those comments were still in Qin Ruo Chu's ears, and she knew that she couldn't fall down no matter what. Firstly, there were so many people watching, almost all of them were staring at her to find fault. If she were to suddenly fall at this moment, it was unknown what the headlines for Cloud City would say tomorrow.
Furthermore, this is the Shen Family's yearly sacrifice to its ancestors, and as Shen Mu Sheng's wife, this is the first time the Shen Family's daughter-in-law is participating in the worship of their Ancestor, she doesn't want to give up halfway. Thinking like this, Qin Ruo Chu tightly clenched his hands, his round fingernails forming shocking marks in his palms.
As he steadied himself, Qin Ruo Chu's thoughts quickly turned. She knew her body well, she was not that weak. Furthermore, he hadn't felt anything unusual in the previous second. This one second of dizziness didn't feel good at all. This wasn't normal.
Shen Mu Sheng's eyes were already gloomy, but when he stopped in his tracks, Qin Ruo Chu pulled on his sleeves. Other than a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Qin Ruo Chu looked alright.
"I'm fine. I felt a bit dizzy just now. Maybe it's because my physique is too weak, so don't worry." With that, Qin Ruo Chu patted Shen Mu Sheng's hands, as though he was comforting him.
Shen Mu Sheng frowned, his eyes staring straight at Qin Ruo Chu, "Are you really alright?" Shen Mu Sheng knew that if he did not use a lot of strength, Qin Ruo Chu would have already fallen to the ground.
Qin Ruo Chu smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that it's a little hot, I'm already sweating … "Don't worry, I'm not that delicate." When Qin Ruo Chu raised his head, a big smile blossomed, allowing him to feel slightly more at ease.
"If you have any more discomfort later, you have to tell me right away, okay?" Shen Mu Sheng said in a serious tone.
Qin Ruo Chu nodded his head, his smile never leaving his face. Only when Shen Mu Sheng's gaze continued to move forward did he bite his lower lip. Due to using too much strength, his originally rosy lips instantly became pure.
The short distance of a hundred meters between the parking lot and the ancestral worship hall seemed to be longer than a marathon in Qin Ruo Chu's opinion.
It wasn't easy to arrive at the great hall, and a wave of dizziness that was a little higher than normal caused Qin Ruo Chu to not even have the mood to carefully size up the place, he could only see a cauldron like object placed right in the middle of the huge hall.
Shen Mu Sheng brought Qin Ruo Chu to the side to the resting room, and helped Qin Ruo Chu to sit down, then he said: "I need to go out for a while, rest here, before the ancestral worship begins, I will come and fetch you."
Shen Mu Sheng was still worried about Qin Ruo Chu's health. Since he still had to go out to deal with the people outside, he could only let Qin Ruo Chu rest here.
Qin Ruo Chu originally wanted to forcibly carry it and face it together with Shen Mu Sheng, but the overwhelming dizziness forced her to nod her head and agree, "Rest assured, I'll rest here alone. It just so happens that I'm tired." Qin Ruo Chu said in a light tone, and did not reveal any unusual expressions.
Shen Mu Sheng looked at Qin Ruo Chu worriedly, grabbed the back of Qin Ruo Chu's head and kissed her forehead.
"Wait for me to come back." After Shen Mu Sheng finished speaking, he quickly left. The moment the door closed, Qin Ruo Chu's body tilted to the side and fell on the sofa.
Qin Ruo Chu faintly felt that something was wrong, "How could it be like this …" However, Qin Ruo Chu did not think of the reason.
After ruling out the cause of her body, the first thing she thought of was being drugged, but … Qin Ruo Chu didn't have a single impression of where someone drugged him.
When he was feeling the most dizzy, Qin Ruo Chu suddenly had an impulse to tell Shen Mu Sheng that she was feeling terrible. But in the next second, she immediately rejected this idea.
Absolutely not...
Shen Mu Sheng had originally planned to return to accompany Qin Ruo Chu after dealing with the people outside, but the time it took to get rid of the people ended up taking far longer than he had anticipated.
When Shen Mu Sheng returned to the resting area again, it was already an hour later. The ancestors were already prepared, so he came to bring Qin Ruo Chu out.
At this time, Qin Ruo Chu had already endured through his most painful times, and it was clearly better than before. After hearing the door open, Qin Ruo Chu quickly tidied himself up, and when he turned around, everything was as usual.
"You're back? Has the sacrifice begun yet? " Qin Ruo Chu asked with a smile.
"It's about to start. Let's go and prepare." Shen Mu Sheng pulled Qin Ruo Chu into his embrace, and after confirming once again that there were no major problems with her, he left the resting room together with her.
