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

After Wang Chengyao left, Wen Jiayue's hair was almost dry.

She simply styled her hair into a bun and decided to go to Lintong Courtyard.

The full moon celebration was held at Lintong Courtyard. She wanted to go and see it, and if there was anything wrong, she would have someone revise it while there was still time.

Ruyi asked in confusion, "Madam, isn't Miss's full moon celebration held in the front courtyard? What are we doing going to Lintong Courtyard?"

Wen Jiayue was stunned for a moment: "I forgot."

The full moon celebration in my previous life was held in Lintong Courtyard, a small courtyard near the main courtyard.

This was decided by the old lady. She always disliked that Zhaozhao was a girl, so she randomly chose Lintong Courtyard when selecting the location.

Seeing the old lady's angry expression, Wen Jiayue dared not argue, fearing that the old lady would get angry and refuse to do it.

She originally wanted Shen Fuhan to persuade the old lady, but he was always busy, so she didn't dare to bother him with such a trivial matter.

He asked her if she was satisfied, and she smiled and said, "Very good."

If she hadn't been so timid back then, perhaps the outcome would have been different.

Wen Jiayue sighed softly; she had been prejudiced from the start.

In this lifetime, everything about the full moon celebration was arranged by Shen Fuhan. Zhaozhao is also his daughter, so naturally he will give her the best of everything.

Even if the old lady was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to say anything in front of this grandson.

"Let's go take a look at the front yard."

As the saying goes, "Madam, if we go to the front courtyard, shouldn't we also go and pay our respects to the old lady?"

Now that you're out of confinement and can move around, it's only right and proper for you to pay your respects to your elders.

If the old lady finds out that the lady did not go to pay her respects, she will definitely try to sabotage her in secret.

Wen Jiayue paused in her tracks.

She did have to go, but remembering the old lady's constant harassment, she pursed her lips.

If she went alone, she would definitely be ridiculed.

She's not afraid of ridicule now, and can even retort a couple of times, but she doesn't want to cause trouble before the full moon celebration.

"I won't go now," she said, turning back. "Let's talk about it after the Marquis returns."

Even if Shen Fuhan doesn't say anything, just standing there can intimidate the old lady. Going with him will definitely calm things down a lot.

If she had realized this sooner, she wouldn't have had such a miserable life in her past life.

"Oh, and remember to show me the menu for tonight."

To persuade Shen Fuhan to go with her willingly, she decided to prepare a table full of his favorite dishes for him.

In the evening, Shen Fuhan returned.

As usual, he walked indifferently into the courtyard. He glanced up and saw a beautiful figure standing outside the door.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Wen Jiayue's exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and eyes, making her appear even more gentle and charming.

He paused for a moment before continuing forward.

"My lord, you're back." Wen Jiayue greeted him with a smile.

Although she was extremely reluctant, she still greeted him as she always had.

Shen Fuhan nodded and walked directly into the house.

Wen Jiayue pouted and quickly followed.

Shen Fuhan closed the door and asked in a low voice, "How long have you been standing outside?"

To show her sincerity, Wen Jiayue deliberately exaggerated: "About half an hour."

Actually, she only stood there for a short while before coming out after hearing the news that he had returned to the mansion.

She wouldn't be as foolish as before, eagerly awaiting his return every day.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Fuhan lowered his eyes. "You just finished your postpartum confinement period, and you've been standing outside for half an hour?"

Although it was meant to be caring, his tone really annoyed Wen Jiayue.

In order to get him to accompany her to Ninghui Hall, she had no choice but to endure it.

She obediently apologized, "It won't happen again next time."

Seeing that he was about to take off his clothes, Wen Jiayue quickly stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

She kept her distance as she helped him undress, without touching him at all except with her hands.

But the delicate fragrance of her hair and the faint scent of milk lingered around her, and when she lowered her head, her soft, fair neck was right in front of her.

Every glimpse of white made his heart race.

Shen Fuhan grabbed her wrist.

"I will do it myself."

His voice was somewhat deep. Wen Jiayue looked up in a daze and saw that his expression was not quite right.

Shen Fuhan, who was usually aloof and restrained, seemed to have a hint of desire in his eyes.

She didn't seem to do anything to provoke him, so why was he so unable to control himself?

However, considering that they hadn't had intercourse since she became pregnant, Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and silently walked away.

Shen Fuhan was a woman of pure character and had never been with a woman before. She found out she was pregnant just two months after she married him.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense.

Feeling uncomfortable staying here, Wen Jiayue went to the flower hall to wait for him to have a meal together.

After a moment, Shen Fuhan arrived.

He had regained his composed and dignified demeanor and sat down calmly.

Wen Jiayue naturally didn't show anything unusual. She took the initiative to serve him food and said with a smile, "Your Excellency has worked hard on your mission, please eat more."

Shen Fuhan paused for a moment before picking up the meat she had placed in the bowl.

Seeing that he had eaten, Wen Jiayue finally spoke up: "Will Your Highness go to the study after your meal?"

Nothing to do today.

Wen Jiayue's eyes lit up. The timing and location were both right; all that was missing was the right people.

She pressed her advantage: "I'd like to pay my respects to the old lady later and also check on the arrangements for the full moon celebration. Would you like to come with me, Lord Marquis?"

Shen Fuhan was silent for a moment before saying, "It's windy at night, so wear more clothes."

This meant she agreed, and Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll put on a cloak in a bit."

After dinner, Ruyi brought the cloak.

While straightening her clothes, Wen Jiayue said, "My lord, let's go now."

Shen Fuhan asked, "Not taking Zhaozhao?"

Wen Jiayue's smile immediately faded.

The old lady doesn't like Zhaozhao, so why should she bother to fawn over her and make herself disliked?

Wen Jiayue said softly, "It's chilly at night, and Zhaozhao is still young. It wouldn't be good if she got sick. It's the same if we meet again tomorrow. Grandmother will understand."

If he insists that Zhaozhao go with him, then she won't go.

Shen Fuhan took the lantern from Ruyi's hand and took the first step.

"Let's go."

Seeing that he was so easily persuaded by her, Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

The two walked out of the main courtyard side by side and went to Ninghui Hall first.

A breeze blew by, and Wen Jiayue deliberately huddled up and hugged her arms.

"It is indeed extremely cold, my lord. Let's come back sooner rather than later."

Shen Fuhan glanced at her and replied with an "okay".

The road was quiet, and Wen Jiayue racked her brains for a topic: "The moonlight is quite beautiful tonight."

Shen Fuhan's gaze lingered on her soft cheeks for a moment before he looked down at the lantern.

The soft, warm light fell on their close shadows, blending with the cool moonlight.

It's hot and cold all the time.
