After the delicate and soft-spoken wife gave up, the aloof and powerful minister embraced her and sh

After resolving the matter, Shen Fuhan did not leave the mansion for the entire day.

As for why he didn't go to the Princess's residence, Wen Jiayue didn't bother to ask.

It's a good thing he's not going; she wouldn't kindly remind him otherwise.

The old lady's side has become much quieter, presumably because she was angered by her grandson, who hasn't come to see her for several days.

Wen Jiayue was happy to see this happen. In her previous life, she didn't have a single day of peace during her postpartum period, which left her with many health problems.

These problems may seem minor, but they can accumulate and cause considerable distress.

After resting well for a few days, Wen Jiayue's complexion became much rosier, unlike when she was pale after giving birth.

It was another day off, and Wen Jiayue carefully considered how to stop Shen Fuhan from going to the Princess's residence.

You can only block it for a while, not forever. After all, it was an imperial decree issued by the emperor himself. If you continue to be lazy, it might not be good.

Therefore, Wen Jiayue decided not to do anything this time, and to ask about the Princess after Shen Fuhan returned to the mansion.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

After having breakfast, Shen Fuhan prepared to leave the mansion.

Wen Jiayue didn't want to say goodbye to him, so she pretended to be asleep and avoided him.

As she pretended, she actually fell asleep and even had a dream.

In his dream, Shen Fuhan went to the Princess's residence and enjoyed tea, chess, and boating on the lake with the princess.

Shen Fuhan's face showed a gentle expression she had never seen before, as he stared intently and affectionately at the princess, a smile playing on his lips.

Wen Jiayue was startled awake.

This dream is too outrageous; how could Shen Fuhan possibly show such an expression?

But why is it impossible?

She had never seen Shen Fuhan interact with the princess. Perhaps this was how he was in front of his beloved.

After thinking blankly for a while, Wen Jiayue gave a self-deprecating smile.

Suddenly, she heard a child's voice outside. Wen Jiayue forgot all about being sentimental and frowned as she looked out the window.

It was indeed Wang Chengyao, Shen Funian's son.

Wang Chengyao was a troublemaker in the Marquis's mansion. He was raised by Shen Funian to be tall and strong, and did not look like a three-year-old child at all.

In his past life, he had secretly bullied Zhaozhao quite a bit.

Wen Jiayue had no liking for him and was about to ask Ruyi to coax him out when Wang Chengyao swaggered in.

"Aunt, I've come to see my sister!"

Ruyi said awkwardly, "Madam, I couldn't stop the young master..."

Wen Jiayue didn't blame her, and asked, "Where is your mother?"

“I ran away here secretly,” Wang Chengyao said with a sheepish grin. “My mother doesn’t know.”

He proudly pulled a piece of candy from his sleeve.

"Give it to your little sister!"

Wen Jiayue was somewhat surprised.

In her past life, Wang Chengyao never came to her place during her postpartum confinement, let alone brought her any candy. What's going on now?

Moreover... Wang Chengyao looked simple-minded at this moment, completely unlike the fierce and menacing figure he had when he bullied Zhaozhao in his previous life.

Could someone have instigated this? Was it the old lady or Shen Funian?

No one was surprised. Wen Jiayue stopped guessing and accepted the candy.

"Auntie thanks you on Zhaozhao's behalf. Ruyi, go and get a plate of snacks."

Wang Chengyao's eyes lit up when he heard that there were some snacks to eat.

Recently, his mother complained that he was fat and urged him to lose weight. He hasn't eaten any snacks for several days and has forgotten what they taste like.

When Ruyi brought over a plate of peach blossom cakes, Wang Chengyao ate heartily and said, "Auntie is so kind, you are the best auntie!"

Wen Jiayue smiled and waited until he had almost finished eating before trying to get information out of him: "Why did you suddenly come to your aunt's place?"

Wang Chengyao licked the crumbs off his palm with satisfaction before speaking: "My mother said that my aunt gave birth to a little sister, so I wanted to come and see."

Wen Jiayue was even more surprised. Why did Shen Funian bring her up? Why didn't he mention her in her past life?

Does that mean she'll hold a grudge if I scold her once?

Wen Jiayue asked, "Do you still remember what your mother said?"

Wang Chengyao loved to imitate, and upon hearing this, he straightened his back and began to describe it vividly.

"This Wen Jiayue has really grown up. She only gave birth to a daughter, yet she dares to yell at me. If she's so capable, she'll give my older brother a son! Then she can forget about calling me sister-in-law; she'll be willing to step on my head!"

Wen Jiayue was still frowning when she heard the first half, but she was speechless when she heard the second half.

She thought Shen Funian had said something bad about her, but it turned out to be her "wonderful expectations".

Stepping on Shen Fu's thoughts? She really wanted to try.

Considering he had tipped her off, Wen Jiayue asked, "Would you like some more snacks?"

Wang Chengyao waved his hand: "Aunt, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Is there more? Wen Jiayue listened attentively.

Wang Chengyao began pacing back and forth, muttering, "What are we going to do? What are we going to do? My eldest brother is already twenty-four and still doesn't have a son. Other people his age have sons who are almost married. My Shen family is going to die out!"

Wen Jiayue's vision went black. Why was Shen Funian so concerned about continuing the family line?

Her son is a ready-made heir; she can just change his surname.

She repeatedly told Wang Chengyao not to tell anyone that he was imitating his mother's speech, and then gave him a plate of snacks as a bonus, finally managing to coax Wang Chengyao away.

"My aunt is so kind, I'll come again tomorrow!"

Wen Jiayue: "..."

Because of what happened in her past life, she instinctively rejected him.

But upon closer reflection, Wang Chengyao had never done anything to harm Zhaozhao in his life, so why should she hold a grudge against a three-year-old child?

Moreover, if Wang Chengyao is instigated to act like he did in his previous life, Zhaozhao will still be secretly bullied.

After all, no matter how well she takes care of Zhao Zhao, she can't keep her tied to her waist all the time. It would be better to let Wang Chengyao learn to protect Zhao Zhao.

After figuring it out, Wen Jiayue felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

There was still a little over half an hour before noon, and Wen Jiayue was already hungry, so she ordered that a meal be prepared.

I had only taken a few bites when Shen Fuhan returned.

Wen Jiayue was somewhat surprised that he didn't dine at the princess's residence.

Is this another case of feigning indifference to lure someone in?

They really know how to manipulate people's hearts.

Wen Jiayue ate by herself, having prepared all her favorite dishes for lunch. Shen Fuhan was a picky eater and could only eat a few things.

But she couldn't remain silent forever, and she still had something to ask him.

Wen Jiayue then said, "The Marquis is back. I'll have the kitchen prepare another meal. Please go and rest for a while."

Shen Fuhan glanced at the food on the table and sat down.

"No need."

He was being a little too easygoing, and Wen Jiayue raised her eyebrows slightly.

He was so happy to see Li Zhilan that even the dishes he didn't like tasted delicious.

Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and said casually, "I thought the Marquis would be dining at the Princess's residence."

"will not."

Is it that it won't happen this time, or that it won't happen again?

Wen Jiayue didn't want to make a fool of herself by asking, but she knew that Shen Fuhan had eaten at the princess's residence several times afterward.

She gripped her chopsticks tightly, trying to maintain a calm demeanor, before finally speaking with a smile.

"I haven't met the Princess yet, Your Excellency. Could you tell me if she is as beautiful as the rumors say?"
