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

After the full moon celebration ended, the guests quickly took their leave.

As the bride's family, the Wen family was naturally the last to leave, and they showered her with concern and care.

Wen Ruohuan held Wen Jiayue's hand and said with concern, "Sister, you must take good care of yourself. Once you're fully recovered, you must go home with your brother-in-law to visit."

Before, Wen Jiayue only felt that her sister was caring about her, but now it all sounds like sarcasm.

Every word was a reminder to her to return to the Wen family with Shen Fuhan.

She would naturally return to the Wen family to retrieve her betrothal gifts and dowry.

Before the wedding, Zhang said that she had no worries about food and drink in the Marquis's mansion, so it would be better to give the betrothal gifts to her for safekeeping.

Although Zhang was not her biological mother, she had always treated her very well, and Wen Jiayue naturally did everything she was told.

Only after living life again do you realize how ridiculous you are.

Furthermore, most of the dowry her birth mother had saved for her was with Zhang.

She'll need money for many things in the future, so it'll be more reassuring for her to keep her dowry and betrothal gifts in her own hands.

Wen Jiayue said gently, "Of course, I will go back to visit in a few days."

She released Wen Ruohuan's hand and said, feigning reluctance, "It's getting late, Father and Mother, you should go back now."

Zhang was still staring at her son's swollen face when she heard this, and quickly said, "Alright, alright, then we'll go back."

After leaving the Marquis's residence and getting into the carriage, Madam Zhang asked suspiciously, "Did you really hurt your face by accident?"

Wen Ruoqian gritted his teeth and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Really, I was drunk and accidentally bumped into the wall. Does Mother suspect that someone slapped me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang immediately believed it.

Indeed, this is the Marquis's residence, and his son is the Marquis's brother-in-law. Who would dare to hit him?

Wen Ruohuan glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "You got beaten up instead of teasing me. You're really something."

Unfortunately, her plan to cause a scene at the full moon celebration fell through, but the thought that her brother-in-law would be coming to their house in a few days made her feel refreshed.

Wen Ruoqian shot him a sharp glare.

Feeling glared at for no reason, Wen Ruohuan glared back, since it wasn't her who slapped her.

Wen Ruoqian stared at her through gritted teeth for a moment. Well done, she actually told Wen Jiayue his secret!

His fierce expression vanished the moment Zhang looked over.

"Mother, I want two hundred taels of silver."

He made an outrageous demand, startling Zhang: "What's it for?"

“It’s my teacher’s birthday in a few days, and I need to give him something,” Wen Ruoqian said without hesitation. “My teacher has high standards, so I can’t give him cheap things.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang nodded. Although it pained her, she generously said, "Alright, it'll be enough as part of your sister's dowry."

Upon hearing this, Wen's father hesitated and said, "This... after all, it belongs to Yue'er, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Zhang snorted, "What's in the Wen family's possessions is naturally mine. I've raised her for sixteen years, can't I even make decisions about this little thing?"

Before Mr. Wen could say anything more, Mrs. Zhang glared at him and said, "What, do you still care about her birth mother and want to keep a memento?"

He dared not argue further and stammered, "Alright, I'll listen to you... but if Yue'er comes to ask for it back, you'll have to redeem it."

Zhang gave a perfunctory reply, but inwardly she couldn't stop sneering.

A useless father and his useless daughter are both useless at heart. And she still wants a dowry?

I'm afraid they wouldn't even dare to open their mouths.

After the full moon celebration was over, Wen Jiayue returned to her inner room, exhausted, and lay down on the bed to rest with her eyes closed.

Ruyi gently tucked the blanket around her, and Wen Jiayue opened her eyes.

"Madam, did I wake you?"

"I didn't sleep."

Wen Jiayue dared not sleep, as her fourth brother, Shen Fuyou, had not yet arrived.

In his previous life, he arrived after the full moon celebration.

She happened to be sleeping and didn't see him, so she naturally didn't know what had happened after he returned to the Marquis's residence.

If it's related to his trip to the border, then her waiting wasn't in vain.

But Wen Jiayue waited and waited, but Shen Fuyou did not come to the mansion, and drowsiness came over her again.

She forced herself to stay awake, fearing that something similar would happen again, like Wen Ruoqian slipping away right under her nose.

Wen Jiayue asked Ruyi to keep her company and talk to her about anything.

Ruyi then said, "The Marquis has gone to his study..."

“Don’t mention him,” Wen Jiayue said curtly. “Find someone else.”

Ruyi hesitated before asking, "Did Madam and the Marquis have a fight?"

When the lady returned from changing her clothes, she was with the Marquis, and her expression immediately changed.

Now that I think about it, could it be that they really had a fight?

The lady and the marquis have been married for a year and have never had a quarrel. They have always been a loving and respectful couple.

Something seems to have changed since the birth of the young lady.

However, the Marquis remained indifferent; it was the Lady who changed.

"No," Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and changed the subject, "How is Yao'er?"

After Shen Funian took them away, the two never appeared again, and she was a little worried.

In their past life, Wang Chengyao was often mischievous, and Shen Funian had a fiery temper, so they had been beaten countless times.

She felt guilty if she was beaten because of her.

Ruyi said, "This servant does not know about this. I will go and inquire about it in a while."

Wen Jiayue thought for a moment, then sat up: "I'll go and see for myself."

Staying here is boring, so I might as well find something to do.

Ruyi said worriedly, "You just finished your postpartum confinement period, and you've been working hard all day. You should rest."

Wen Jiayue shook her head, just about to speak, when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Madam, Fourth Master has arrived."

Wen Jiayue's eyes lit up. They've finally arrived!

She put Wang Chengyao's matter aside and quickly said, "Please come in."

Before long, Shen Fuyou walked in with a magnanimous air, a spirited smile on his face, which made the room seem much brighter.

He gave a light bow and said, "I hope you are well, sister-in-law."

Wen Jiayue said with a smile, "Fourth brother has finally arrived."

“Hey,” Shen Fuyou raised an eyebrow and said, “So my sister-in-law has been waiting for me all along.”

Wen Jiayue explained earnestly, "When you came last time, you said you would come on the day of the full moon, so of course I remembered."

Shen Fuyou smiled and took out a box from his sleeve, opened it lightly, tossed it into the air, caught it steadily, and then opened his hands.

"This is a longevity lock for Zhaozhao."

Wen Jiayue's gaze fell on the longevity lock, her expression somewhat complicated.

"Fourth brother, why don't you wear this longevity lock yourself?"

She had no chance of saving him, so she thought it better to put a longevity lock on him, which might ensure his safety.

Shen Fuyou was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Sister-in-law, you're joking too much. I can't fit such a small longevity lock on."

Wen Jiayue then said, "I'll give you one in a couple of days."

Shen Fuhan heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door. He paused for a moment, then walked into the inner room without changing his expression.

Upon seeing him, Shen Fuyou's smile vanished instantly, and he obediently called out, "Big Brother."

He grew up on the frontier and was used to being wild. He didn't return to Chang'an until he was eight years old, and from then on, he was under the control of Shen Fuhan.

Although his older brother hadn't done anything excessive and had even been somewhat indulgent towards him, he was still quite afraid of him.

Shen Fuhan nodded slightly: "You haven't returned to the manor for many days. Have you gone to pay your respects to your grandmother?"

Shen Fuyou's expression immediately changed, and she said firmly, "I'm not going!"
