Seeing that her son was siding with outsiders, Shen Funian immediately forgot about disciplining Wen Jiayue and dragged Wang Chengyao out by the ear.

Wen Jiayue was genuinely worried for him.

She wanted to go with him, but she didn't dare let Wen Ruoqian out of her sight, so she had to stay in the house.

Zhao, the old lady's maid, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Madam, the old lady wants to see you."

Wen Jiayue glanced in the direction of the old lady, who had a stern face and seemed to be angry.

Realizing this was not a good thing, Wen Jiayue asked softly, "What's wrong with the old lady?"

"This old servant does not know either; you will know when you go, Madam."

Wen Jiayue frowned slightly. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't offend the old lady in front of everyone, so she had no choice but to step forward.

The table where the old lady was sitting was full of her family members, and there were two empty seats, presumably for Shen Funian and Wang Chengyao.

She asked softly, "Grandmother, what happened?"

"Go and bring your daughter back," the old lady said sternly. "What kind of behavior is it to keep my grandson holding her like this!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang quickly said, "Yue'er, the old lady is right. Go and bring Zhaozhao over quickly."

Wen Jiayue looked at Shen Fuhan, who was sitting at another table with several men, holding the sleeping Zhaozhao in his arms.

She looked puzzled. What was wrong with letting him hold her?

She noticed that Shen Fuhan seemed to be enjoying himself.

Wen Jiayue sat down directly and said with a smile, "If the Marquis is tired, he will naturally send Zhaozhao over. Grandmother and Mother don't need to worry."

The old lady was even angrier: "What a blockhead! How can Fuhan eat like this? He's already working so hard, and he still has to help you hold the baby. He has no sense of reading between the lines at all!"

Wen Jiayue: "..."

It turned out she was worried that her eldest grandson was going hungry, and she felt sorry for him.

Moreover, what do you mean by helping her hold the child? This child isn't Shen Fuhan's.

She tried her best to control her emotions and didn't say those words.

Wen Ruohuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "It's no big deal, sister. Why don't I go and carry him?"

Despite her tone of seeking opinions, she had already gotten up and left her seat, walking towards Shen Fuhan's place.

"Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to come and hug Zhaozhao."

Now that she mentioned Wen Jiayue, shouldn't she be allowed to hug her?

The thought of getting intimate with her brother-in-law soon made Wen Ruohuan's heart beat faster.

Shen Fuhan nodded slightly upon hearing this and stood up.

She quickly reached out her hand, but Shen Fuhan was gone; she hadn't even touched a corner of his clothes.

Wen Ruohuan stared blankly as he walked towards Wen Jiayue, her smile instantly becoming somewhat stiff.

Even in this state, I still won't let her hug me!

Wen Jiayue watched coldly, and when she saw Shen Fuhan carrying the child over, she said directly, "Since Zhaozhao is asleep, it's better for the Marquis to hold her. She'll wake up if someone else holds her."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately became anxious: "Just coax him back to sleep when he wakes up. Fuhan, give the child to your wife."

Shen Fuhan glanced around; the people at the table had different expressions, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

He said calmly, "It's too crowded and noisy here. I'll take Zhaozhao back to sleep."

He looked at Wen Jiayue: "Want to go together?"

Wen Jiayue shook her head; she couldn't leave for even a moment longer.

The old lady said urgently, "Fuhan, go back and sit down."

Shen Fuhan ignored these words, gave Wen Jiayue a deep look, and then left.

The old lady glared at Wen Jiayue and then looked at Zhao Mama.

"Go quickly and tell Fuhan to come back. How can my grandson not be present at the full moon celebration!"

Wen Jiayue calmly picked up some food.

Wen Ruohuan sat back down in her original seat, looking dejected.

Seeing that her daughter's reaction was too obvious, Zhang quickly nudged her arm and then hurried to soothe the old lady's emotions.

"Madam, Yue'er is being immature, please don't hold it against her."

Wen Ruohuan gritted her teeth and forced a smile as she served food to Wen Jiayue.

"Sister, you've had a tough time during your postpartum period. Eat something to help yourself recover."

Wen Jiayue was annoyed by what she heard, but she had no choice but to play along. After dealing with one round of questions, she looked up and saw that Wen Ruoqian was nowhere to be seen!

She only glanced at him a couple of times, and he slipped right under her nose?

Wen Jiayue immediately clutched her stomach and frowned, saying, "Grandmother, Mother, I suddenly have a stomachache. I'll go change my clothes first."

Wen Ruohuan was shocked. Her brother had only been gone for a short while. If she went over now, she would definitely run into him!

She quickly grabbed Wen Jiayue's hand and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wen Jiayue knew she was helping Wen Ruoqian buy time and tried to break free.

However, she was weak after childbirth and not as strong as her, so she was forced to sit still and could not move at all.

The old lady clicked her tongue at Wen Ruohuan: "If you have a stomachache, go change your clothes. What's the use of grabbing someone and asking you questions?"

Wen Ruohuan awkwardly let go of her hand: "I was just too worried."

Wen Jiayue had never been so grateful to the old lady. Seeing her let go, she immediately stood up.

Wen Ruohuan also stood up: "Sister, I'll go with you!"

Wen Jiayue was thoroughly annoyed; he was like a leech, impossible to shake off.

As they stepped out of the house, Wen Ruohuan helped her and they slowly moved forward.

The excuse was also excellent: "Sister, let's walk slowly, it can relieve the stomach pain."

Wen Jiayue gave Ruyi a wink, signaling her to help her get rid of Wen Ruohuan.

Ruyi immediately tried to pry Wen Ruohuan's hand away, saying anxiously, "Third Miss, Madam is in so much pain, please don't make things worse."

The maid was naturally stronger than the pampered young lady, and Ruyi easily pried her hands open and held them tightly.

Freed from the constraints, Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief: "You all wait here, I'll be right back."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Wen Ruohuan stamped her feet, but was at a loss for what to do.

But so much time has passed, my brother must have succeeded by now.

Thinking of this, she immediately relaxed.

Wen Jiayue wished she could run away. The main courtyard was so big, how long would it take her to find it?

However, she couldn't reveal her true identity, otherwise things would escalate, and she wouldn't be able to explain how she possessed the ability to foresee the future.

Wen Jiayue walked along, looking around carefully to see if anything was amiss, but the surroundings were very quiet.

The further she went, the colder her heart became.

So much time has passed, Wen Ruoqian must have succeeded by now.

As she rounded a bend, she suddenly heard a woman sobbing, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.

Just as she was about to rush over, she suddenly heard Wen Ruoqian say helplessly, "Brother-in-law, I really didn't do anything."

Brother-in-law?

Wen Jiayue's eyes lit up. Shen Fuhan was actually here?

"Your maid is disheveled, and you're still trying to deny it?"

Shen Fuhan's angry voice came through, and Wen Jiayue continued to listen anxiously.

"I was drunk, brother-in-law. I wasn't very clear-headed and had no idea what happened."

Wen Ruoqian continued in a wronged tone, "If it really happened, it was the maid who seduced me. Brother-in-law, you mustn't wrong me!"
