Chapter 335 Keep it in mind
Wen Jiayue and Shen Fuhan exchanged greetings together.
Li Zhilan smiled and asked them to stand up, "Why is Madam Shen here too?"
Shen Fuhan explained, "Since there was nothing to do at home, I had my wife come over with me."
Li Zhilan gritted his teeth. Even if he was still angry, he didn't need to help Wen Jiayue like this!
She said casually, "I was asking Madam Shen, but Lord Shen answered quickly."
Shen Fuhan didn't respond to that, and said indifferently, "It's getting late, why don't we go and check out Sishui Courtyard first?"
"What's the rush?" Li Zhilan rested her chin on her hand, looking relaxed. "Sit down, and I'll chat with you about some everyday matters."
The misunderstanding from that Mid-Autumn Festival hadn't been cleared up yet, and she couldn't just let him go like that.
Shen Fuhan frowned, but still sat down as instructed.
Wen Jiayue sat beside him, head down and silent.
While in the carriage, taking advantage of the steward's absence, she quietly asked Shen Fuhan why he had asked her to come along.
Shen Fuhan actually said that he just wanted her to stay with him, nothing more.
It's really strange. Shen Fuhan never said anything like that in her previous life, and she never went to the princess's residence.
However, Shen Fuhan has been acting strangely lately, so this one time won't make a difference.
A maidservant brought tea and snacks, interrupting Wen Jiayue's thoughts.
She nodded and smiled, "Thank you."
Li Zhilan snorted inwardly. A small family is a small family. Even if she becomes the wife of a marquis, she is still petty. Why is she thanking the maid?
She took a sip of tea, concealing the disdain in her eyes, before speaking warmly: "Madam Shen, please try these. These pastries are only available here, especially the Jade Belt Cake, which is a specialty of Nanjing."
Wen Jiayue, however, dared not try it lightly, in case something was mixed in...
She knew Li Zhilan wouldn't be foolish enough to personally drug someone and leave them leverage against her, but what if she did?
She looked at Shen Fuhan, seeking his opinion.
Shen Fuhan picked up a piece of jade belt cake directly from her white jade plate.
Li Zhilan said calmly, "I have also prepared one for Lord Shen."
Shen Fuhan said calmly, "This humble subject thinks that this dish looks even better and is very appetizing."
He put it in his mouth, and seeing that Li Zhilan didn't stop him, he then gestured to Wen Jiayue that she could eat it.
He knew Li Zhilan wouldn't harm him, so he felt fearless.
Wen Jiayue then picked up a piece of jade belt cake and ate it slowly.
Even though she knew it was non-toxic, she still didn't dare to eat too much, as she always felt uncomfortable.
Li Zhilan ignored her and, after a moment of hesitation, said something that didn't quite come to mind: "I wanted to say this during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You two seem to be very loving."
She deliberately brought up the Mid-Autumn Festival to set the stage for what she was about to say.
Before she could continue, Shen Fuhan suddenly spoke up: "Thank you, Princess."
Li Zhilan gripped the armrest of the chair tightly. Why was he interrupting her now? Did he not want her to continue?
She insisted on explaining, saying that he had already misunderstood for so long, and she didn't want him to misunderstand any longer.
She sighed softly, "You two are always together, while I am all alone. When I wake up at night, my pillow feels empty, which is truly unbearable."
Shen Fuhan continued, "Aren't there Young Master Zhao and Young Master Chen with you?"
This is Li Zhilan's male favorite. He knew that Young Master Chen had died some time ago, but he pretended not to know, not wanting Li Zhilan to know that he was spying on the princess's residence.
When he brought this up, Li Zhilan's expression stiffened slightly. Why was he even concerned about her having male lovers?
She explained hesitantly, "They were just two men who played instruments and sang. Besides, the one who could sing had already passed away, and as for the one who could play instruments..."
She paused for a moment, then said, "I will find a reason to get rid of him in the next few days."
There was no need to weigh the pros and cons; she knew exactly what was more important.
Compared to Shen Fuhan, male concubines are insignificant.
Wen Jiayue was somewhat surprised, as Li Zhilan's male concubines had always been around in her previous life.
In order to win the heart of a handsome man, she actually decided to dismiss them?
To go to such lengths for Shen Fuhan is truly a desperate act.
“This is a matter for the Princess,” Shen Fuhan said in a deep voice. “There is no need to inform this humble subject.”
Seeing his firm attitude, Wen Jiayue pursed her lips slightly.
If Li Zhilan discovers that Shen Fuhan is not responding to this, will the plot to harm her escalate?
Fortunately, Shen Fuhan is not far from leaving the capital, so as long as nothing goes wrong, everything will be fine.
Although it had been a long time and she couldn't remember the exact date, she remembered that it was around mid-November, around the time of Shen Funian's wedding.
Li Zhilan exclaimed in astonishment, "You..."
She quickly realized that he was angry, and because Wen Jiayue was present, he couldn't say anything else.
Li Zhilan pondered what excuse he could use to send Wen Jiayue away so he could have a detailed talk with Shen Fuhan.
Unexpectedly, Shen Fuhan suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll head to Sishui Courtyard first."
Wen Jiayue also stood up and curtsied.
Li Zhilan's face tightened, but she was helpless.
She offered no explanation, and the situation was only getting worse. If she continued to speak, she feared she would offend Shen Fuhan.
"Fine," she said, rising to her feet. "I will go with you."
After Li Zhilan walked out of the hall, Shen Fuhan and Wen Jiayue followed.
Early winter has arrived, and the night wind is slightly chilly.
Wen Jiayue wrapped her cloak tighter and walked forward step by step.
As if sensing her coldness, Shen Fuhan took her hand.
Startled, Wen Jiayue quickly shook him off, not even considering the occasion!
If Li Zhilan were to see this, he might not just use poison anymore, but instead resort to an even more vicious method to deal with her.
Shen Fuhan asked in a low voice, "Isn't it cold?"
Wen Jiayue shook her head and said firmly, "It's not cold at all."
"What are Lord Shen and Madam Shen talking about?" Li Zhilan stopped and turned around with a smile. "Why don't I listen in as well?"
Wen Jiayue said softly, "Your Highness, the Marquis and I were just talking about the minor matter of the cold weather."
She was extremely cautious in everything she did, only daring to call him "Lord Marquis," never daring to call him "Husband."
Li Zhilan smiled and said, "This is only the second time I've heard you speak today. Your temperament is rather timid. However, I'm always easygoing. Madam Shen, please say whatever you want. I won't blame you."
Wen Jiayue lowered her head as if in fear and softly replied, "Yes."
On one hand, they claim to be easygoing, while on the other hand, they accuse her of being timid. Their true intentions are crystal clear.
Shen Fuhan naturally understood as well. After Li Zhilan turned her head away, he squeezed Wen Jiayue's fingertips to tell her not to take it to heart.
Wen Jiayue quickly withdrew her hand; of course, she didn't take it to heart.
But if he touches her again and Li Zhilan sees it, she'll take it to heart!
