Chapter 391 Driving Wen Ruohuan Crazy

Seeing Wen Ruohuan's embarrassed expression, Wen Jiayue almost couldn't help but laugh.

She was just worried about this. If it weren't for the fact that the poisoning could go smoothly, she would have already broken ties with Wen Ruohuan.

Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter were of one mind. Zhao Zhao knew that she didn't like Wen Ruohuan, so she slapped her twice in a fit of rage.

Fearing that Wen Ruohuan would retaliate, Wen Jiayue quickly snatched Zhaozhao back.

She apologized, "Huan'er, I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with Zhao Zhao. She's not usually like this."

"It's nothing," Wen Ruohuan said with a forced smile, touching her aching face. "I know Zhaozhao was just joking with me. She likes me."

Wen Jiayue didn't respond to that, but instead said, "I'll have Ruyi take you to the manor's medical clinic. Make sure you don't leave any marks."

Wen Ruohuan immediately became anxious. Yes, her face was so beautiful, she couldn't have any marks left, otherwise her brother-in-law would definitely not like it!

"Hurry, hurry!" she said, walking outside. "I'm going now!"

Wen Jiayue told Ruyi to follow her, and only after Ruyi had disappeared from sight did she breathe a sigh of relief and look at Zhaozhao in her arms.

Zhao Zhao had already quieted down, and even yawned a little, looking obedient and innocent, showing no sign of how spoiled and willful she had been just now.

Wen Jiayue pinched her nose: "Did you learn that from your father?"

Zhao Zhao blinked slowly: "Father..."

She looked outside, and Wen Jiayue quickly tried to distract her.

"Zhaozhao, are you sleepy? Go to sleep, Mommy is here with you."

Zhao Zhao nodded obediently and crawled into bed.

Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shen Fuhan would be back in three days at most. If it had been a few more days, Zhaozhao might have started crying.

She sat by the bed, gently patting the quilt to lull her daughter to sleep.

Zhao Zhao didn't close her eyes, but looked at Li Qiu and Xiao Man with a face full of doubt.

Wen Jiayue then realized that her daughter wanted to sleep with both of them.

However, because she was there, neither Liqiu nor Xiaoman dared to move.

Wen Jiayue then said, "Whether it's one child or three children, it's still the same. You two can lie down too."

While Liqiu was still hesitating, feeling it was against etiquette, Xiaoman had already impatiently taken off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

The lady is so gentle and kind, what are we waiting for?

She urged softly, "Sister Liqiu, hurry up!"

Seeing this, Liqiu had no choice but to accompany her.

Wen Jiayue gently hummed a lullaby, and the three children quickly fell asleep.

She didn't stay any longer, and left after instructing the wet nurse to take good care of her.

Back in her room, Wen Jiayue felt a little sleepy, but she couldn't take a nap. After all, Wen Ruohuan hadn't returned yet, and she had to continue playing the role of a worried older sister who couldn't sleep.

Fifteen minutes later, Ruyi and Wen Ruohuan finally returned.

Wen Jiayue patted her face, forcing herself to come to her senses, and quickly went to greet her.

"Huan'er, how is it?" she asked, frowning. "I can't sleep until you come back."

Wen Ruohuan secretly mocked him in her heart, but put on a touched expression on her face.

"It's alright, sister. The physician prescribed Jade Skin Ointment and said the handprint will disappear by tomorrow. Don't worry."

Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, you should go back and rest now."

After coaxing Wen Ruohuan away, Wen Jiayue went back to her room to sleep without any hesitation.

She needed to conserve her energy to maintain a clear head when facing Wen Ruohuan for the next three days.

In the evening, the two sisters had dinner together.

After chatting for a while, Wen Ruohuan inquired, "Sister, did your brother-in-law say when he would be back before he left?"

Wen Jiayue sighed softly and said, "No, he didn't even tell me where he was going, so how would I know when he would be back?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohuan curled her lips into a smile. It seemed that the couple's relationship wasn't very good after all. That tooth mark was purely accidental.

Seeing her smug expression, Wen Jiayue lowered her head nonchalantly.

That's how it has to be. One minute she's all lovey-dovey with Shen Fuhan, the next she doesn't understand him at all, keeping Wen Ruohuan guessing about her relationship with Shen Fuhan, making her think about it day and night, driving her crazy.

Once you lose your mind, shouldn't you just poison them?

After dinner, Wen Jiayue suggested, "Huan'er, let's go see Zhao Zhao. I've already told her, and she'll definitely behave this time."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohuan's face twitched involuntarily a few times, still throbbing slightly.

She was slapped by the eldest princess a few days ago because she had done something wrong.

Today's disaster was entirely undeserved, and she didn't want to go at all, fearing that Zhao Zhao might try to harm her again.

She refused, saying, "Never mind, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Wen Jiayue didn't say anything more, since she herself had refused.

After dinner, the two talked for a while and then went their separate ways.

After washing up, Wen Jiayue lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

The first day passed peacefully, and the second day shouldn't be too difficult either.

After all, tomorrow is the day Shen Funian returns to her parents' home.

There were some things she couldn't say, but Shen Funian didn't have that concern, easily leaving Wen Ruohuan speechless.

Wen Jiayue relaxed, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Wen Jiayue got up very early to welcome Shen Funian.

Although she had only been gone for two or three days, she still had her servants clean Chang Le Yuan to show that she valued it.

About half an hour later, the carriage from the Xiao residence arrived.

Wen Jiayue was originally watching the servants tidy up, but upon hearing this, she couldn't wait any longer and went to greet them.

The two women met on the way and both looked quite excited.

Just as Wen Jiayue was about to say a few words of concern to her, Shen Funian suddenly wiped away her tears.

Xiao Suye, who had been nodding and smiling to the side, suddenly panicked: "My little aunt, what's wrong with you?"

He's practically been treating her like royalty these past few days; he shouldn't have let her suffer any injustice, right?

“You don’t know anything,” Shen Funian sobbed. “I’m just happy.”

Strangely enough, she had always disliked Wen Jiayue for being younger than her, but now that she was used to calling her "sister-in-law," she actually felt a bit like she was meeting an elder when she saw Wen Jiayue.

It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

Xiao Suye breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "That really scared me to death."

Shen Funian took Wen Jiayue's arm and said urgently, "Sister-in-law, let's go, let's catch up."

Wen Jiayue smiled gently: "Alright, alright, let's go to your Chang Le Courtyard."

“Of course I’ll go to the main courtyard,” Shen Funian said with dissatisfaction. “I miss Zhaozhao.”

Wen Jiayue had no choice but to speak up: "I'm afraid it's a bit inconvenient. My sister Huan'er came to stay at our residence yesterday, and you don't get along with her. Let's talk about it later."

Although I want to see Shen Funian argue with Wen Ruohuan, things can't be chaotic all the time.

Shen Funian panicked immediately upon hearing this.

"What! Wen Ruohuan is here? How could she come here? Do you even know her...?"

Standing to the side, Granny Wang quietly pricked up her ears.
