Chapter 312 A Model Husband: Shen Fuhan
Chapter 312 A Model Husband: Shen Fuhan
Over the next two weeks, Wen Ruohuan came several more times, each time before Shen Fuhan returned to the mansion, and was dragged by Shen Funian to Chang Le Yuan to taste some snacks.
Wen Jiayue was happy to see this happen without having to deal with Wen Ruohuan.
However, with November fast approaching, Wen Jiayue had no choice but to call a halt to the matter.
If Wen Ruohuan didn't administer the drug because Shen Funian was watching her, then it would be a case of losing more than she gained.
After thinking of an excuse all day, Wen Jiayue finally came up with a perfect reason when Shen Funian brought Yao'er over.
She tried to speak: "Niannian, next time Wen Ruohuan comes over, don't let her have any more snacks."
Shen Funian snorted: "What, are you feeling sorry for me?"
“Of course not,” Wen Jiayue explained. “Wen Ruohuan has unspeakable feelings for your elder brother. I’ve been waiting for her to slip up so I can expose her. You’ve sent her to Chang Le Courtyard every time, how could she possibly give herself away?”
Shen Funian said in surprise, "So you knew?"
Wen Jiayue nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
She paused for a moment, then asked, "But how did you know about this?"
Shen Funian scoffed, "I see right through Wen Ruohuan."
Wen Jiayue genuinely admired him: "You're amazing."
Thinking back, Shen Funian had revealed some things to her in her previous life, but it was all mixed with sarcasm.
But she didn't think deeply about it and was blinded by the so-called sisterly affection.
“I have something even more amazing,” Shen Funian asked mysteriously, “That time you went back to your room with my older brother, did you kiss?”
Wen Jiayue's face flushed instantly, and she immediately denied it, saying, "I didn't!"
"Still trying to fool me," Shen Funian pouted. "Your lips are so red, it's obvious you've reapplied them. My older brother's lips are also unusually red. What else could they be but blood relatives?"
"Niannian!" Wen Jiayue said sternly, "If you say that again, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Knowing that his sister-in-law was shy, Shen Funian didn't tease her anymore.
"Never mind, I won't say anything more," Shen Funian stretched. "Go practice your martial arts. My older brother should be back soon."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a maid announced that Miss Wen had arrived.
Shen Funian's face immediately tightened: "She really hasn't given up on her evil intentions!"
Wen Jiayue quickly said, "You absolutely must not let her go to Chang Le Yuan this time."
"I understand," Shen Funian said reluctantly. "I'll endure it in order to get rid of her from the Marquis's mansion completely."
Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Niannian."
Wen Ruohuan arrived quickly.
Upon seeing Shen Funian, she immediately felt a little intimidated, and her steps became smaller.
Shen Funian deliberately startled her, then said with a smile, "You're here! My pea cakes just came out of the oven, shall we go eat some together?"
Wen Ruohuan quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No need, I came here to say something to my sister, and then I'll leave."
Shen Funian asked with some surprise, "What is it? Can I listen?"
"Of course, that's fine." Wen Ruohuan smiled ingratiatingly, then looked at Wen Jiayue, "Sister, I heard you're going to attend the coming-of-age banquet for the sixth young lady of the Duke of Qi's mansion in a few days?"
Wen Jiayue nodded calmly: "Where did you hear that from?"
Wen Ruohuan explained calmly, "A good friend of mine received an invitation, and she said you should go too, so I came to ask."
After saying that, she asked, "Sister, can I go with you? I also want to see the world."
Wen Jiayue didn't say anything.
She didn't remember Wen Ruohuan having such a good friend; it must have been Li Zhilan who sent her.
But why did Li Zhilan want her to go? Was he planning to make a move at the coming-of-age banquet?
But that doesn't make sense, since the Bone-Corroding Powder needs to be taken for three consecutive days... Could it be that they're planning to try a different method?
But what benefit could Li Zhilan possibly gain from ruining the banquet at the Duke of Qi's mansion?
After much thought, Wen Ruohuan realized that it was up to her to decide.
Once Wen Jiayue thought of this, she stopped worrying and became curious about what the other woman was planning to do.
If Li Zhilan is also attending, is she hoping to take the opportunity to meet him?
Wen Jiayue wasn't afraid of them meeting; the more often they met, the easier it would be to investigate later.
So she agreed, "Okay, you can come with me that day."
Wen Ruohuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. Wen Jiayue was indeed foolish, agreeing to her so easily!
She immediately replied, "Thank you, sister. I'll definitely be there on time!"
After saying that, she left with a cheerful stride, turning around with a hint of secret smugness flashing in her eyes.
She was naturally planning to attend the coming-of-age banquet for herself.
She had already found out that the eldest princess would also be attending, and she would openly and legitimately befriend her.
The eldest princess had been giving instructions in private, wasn't she thinking that if something went wrong, she could clear her name and pin all the blame on her?
Wen Ruohuan scoffed inwardly, "Dream on!"
Even if this doesn't work out, she'll drag Li Zhilan down with her!
After Wen Ruohuan walked away, Shen Funian said anxiously, "Why did you agree to her!"
"Let's have some fun," Wen Jiayue asked casually, "Do you want to come along?"
After asking her, she realized it was inappropriate; Shen Funian definitely wouldn't go.
Unexpectedly, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Go!"
Wen Jiayue looked at her in surprise: "But..."
"No buts, am I supposed to live like a quail for the rest of my life because of eloping?" Shen Funian rubbed her hands together, "I'll take this opportunity to announce to the world that I don't care what they say!"
For her brother and sister-in-law's sake, and to prevent Wen Ruohuan from doing anything bad, she was going all out!
Wen Jiayue said admiringly, "Shen Funian is truly an extraordinary woman."
As they were talking, Shen Fuhan returned.
He looked at her, then at Yao'er, who was intently practicing with her small wooden sword.
Wen Jiayue quickly stood up. She was so focused on talking that she completely forgot about practicing martial arts!
She felt a little guilty: "I'll go learn right now..."
Shen Fuhan approached her and asked in a low voice, "Have you been practicing too much these past few days?"
Wen Jiayue paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright."
“Your period is almost here,” Shen Fuhan said. “Take a rest today.”
Wen Jiayue blinked gently. Was this still Shen Fuhan?
She thought he would be sarcastic or silent, but she didn't expect him to be so considerate.
Seeing that she was staring at him, Shen Fuhan was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, it's nothing," Wen Jiayue said. "I'll go practice martial arts instead."
Once she had walked a little further away, Shen Funian exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, you are truly a model of a gentle and considerate husband!"
Shen Fuhan froze for a moment. Gentle and considerate?
His actions just now were completely subconscious, so how could they be considered gentle and considerate?
He couldn't help but ponder: had he gotten used to acting after so long?
