The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Only then did Shen Yan realize that her face was burning with pain. She raised her hand and touched it gently, but felt the obvious mark of the slap.

Although she felt a little aggrieved, she also knew that such things were not uncommon in her mother's family.

Song Yunfeng noticed that Shen Yan's expression was a little strange. He walked to Shen Yan and asked gently, "Madam, what happened to your face? Does it hurt?"

Shen Yan wanted to keep it low-key, but seeing Song Yunfeng's concerned look, she didn't hide it anymore: "It was Dad... He slapped me."

After hearing this, Song Yunfeng frowned slightly, but immediately regained his composure. He gently lifted Shen Yan's chin and carefully observed her face.

"Your face is a little red, but there is no injury to the skin, just a little swelling. Let me apply some ointment for you. After a short rest, you should be fine." Song Yunfeng comforted.

He walked to the medicine box, took out a small piece of transparent ointment, and gently applied it on Shen Yan's face.

His fingers touched her skin, gentle yet firm, as if conveying a soothing and healing force.

Shen Yan felt Song Yunfeng's meticulousness and care, and her heart was warm. She closed her eyes quietly, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of this moment. Every movement of Song Yunfeng was so delicate and powerful, making her feel extremely at ease and comfortable.

"Thank you, husband."

Shen Yan said softly, her eyes full of gratitude.

Song Yunfeng smiled slightly, patted her hands gently, and signaled her to rest.

"Don't take it too seriously. I will pay attention to this kind of thing in the future."

Shen Yan nodded, feeling Song Yunfeng's warmth, her heart filled with trust and dependence on him.

Fortunately, Song Yunfeng was on his side, and Aunt Wang's family was also nice. It was Shen Xiucai, whom he had severed all ties with, but he still came to cause trouble every now and then.

On the other hand, Shen Xiucai was still not convinced.

He always felt that his daughter got married but did not gain any benefits, and he even asked her to take her dowry back for nothing.

In the eyes of Mr. Shen and Mrs. Zhao, the couple suffered a great loss.

Shen Yan is now married to Lord Song. She signed the severance agreement on the day she returned home, and now she doesn't recognize them at all.

How could Shen Xiucai endure this? He hadn't gotten any benefit yet.

And it was all because of Song Yunfeng that he lost his teaching job at the school and became a laughing stock among the people in the alley.

Zhao also didn't expect that Shen Yan, the little girl who was originally easily bullied, would now stand up and become so powerful.

Not only did he dare to talk back to them, but he also gathered the neighbors to fight against them together, which made Zhao feel a little difficult to deal with.

No matter what, they are still trying to find a way to deal with Shen Yan, always feeling that they can get some benefits from her.

On the other side, Shen Yan finished her meal and prepared to soak her feet.

She was also very worried. She didn't expect that even after being married for so long, her biological father and stepmother would still come to cause trouble.

She had finally managed to get her dowry back and opened a cloth shop in the town. She was able to support herself and also give her uncle Zhang Dashan something to do as a way of repaying his kindness to her.

Now that he has embroidery work, he can also make some money. Even though Song Yunfeng earns little as a county magistrate, he will be able to live a good life in the future with the help of Shen Yan.

Shen Yan has always thought that as long as she works hard, her life will get better in the future.

At night, the house fell into silence.

When I entered the bedroom, Song Yunfeng was already lying on the bed with his back to the door. I didn't know if he was asleep or not.

Shen Yan didn't dare to disturb him or affect his official duties the next day, so she simply lay down on the other bed and went to sleep.

For some reason, Song Yunfeng still slept in the small bed as usual, leaving the big bed for Shen Yan.

Shen Yan lay in bed, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she found it difficult to fall asleep.

She felt the pressure and responsibility of the family, but her heart was still full of hope and determination for the future.

Although life is stable now, Shen Yan feels that the family still needs money. If they have a baby in the future, the money Song Yunfeng earns will not be enough.

Moreover, Uncle Wang's family does not seem to be doing well. His eldest son is in school and his youngest daughter will soon be old enough to go to school. They will need money when the time comes.

Shen Yan wanted to help them. She felt that Uncle Wang and his family treated her like a relative. At this moment, her heart was filled with worry about her family and expectations for the future.

Turning around, she looked at the candlelight, took out a piece of delicate embroidery cloth, and began to carefully embroider the pattern of "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl".

She has a skilled technique and embroiders every stitch carefully, as if she is painting her own dreams and hopes on the cloth.

Time passed quietly in the quiet night. Under the candlelight, Shen Yan embroidered attentively, as if she had entered another world.

She didn't know why she couldn't sleep the whole night, but she didn't feel tired. She was just full of enthusiasm and anticipation for her work.

However, half of the day had passed, but her embroidery progress was slow and she had only completed a small part.

Shen Yan frowned. She had originally planned to complete the work within ten days and get the balance from Shopkeeper Li, but now it seems that it might be a bit difficult.

"This thing is really difficult. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to Shopkeeper Li so easily."

She sighed, put down the needle and thread in her hands, feeling a little frustrated.

However, she did not give up and was determined to work harder in the days that followed to complete the work as soon as possible and realize her plans and dreams.

"It seems like I have to work harder during the day. I can't spare so much time to play. Sigh."

Shen Yan looked around and saw Song Yunfeng still sleeping quietly on another small bed. A warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, Song Yunfeng was there to support and encourage her.

Although Shen Yan knew that Song Yunfeng might not love her, he treated her politely, and the couple respected each other and were on the same side on the surface, which was enough.

Thinking of this, she decided to keep working hard. Shen Yan picked up the needle and thread again, ready to continue working.

She may not have accomplished much that night, but her heart was filled with hope that the days ahead would only be better.

I don’t know how long it was before I heard the sound of someone turning over on the small bed. Shen Yan was so busy with the work in her hands that she didn’t notice it.

"lady?"

Song Yunfeng woke up as soon as the rooster crowed outside. He sat on the bed and looked at Shen Yan on the big bed, "Madam, you didn't stay up all night, did you?"

"Did I wake you up?" Shen Yan was a little surprised.

"No." Song Yunfeng said as he stood up and put on his clothes. "I usually get up at this time. It has nothing to do with you. I want to ask you, did you not sleep all night?"

"Ah, I was so busy embroidering that I forgot about it and didn't notice that it was almost dawn outside."

Shen Yan sighed inwardly that the night had passed so quickly.
