Chapter 293 Another Invitation
Finally able to speak, Wen Jiayue looked nervously at Shen Fuhan.
If he still doesn't agree, she'll have no choice but to resort to her trump card and call out "Brother Fuhan".
If Shen Fuhan still refuses and insists on going to the princess's residence, there's nothing she can do.
Moreover, she was afraid that if she stopped him too many times, Shen Fuhan would discover something was amiss.
But why hasn't he spoken yet?
Wen Jiayue's heart pounded faster and faster, and finally she heard him nod and say, "Okay, I'll stay with you."
She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Shen Fuhan was momentarily stunned as he gazed at her exceptionally gentle and tender smile. She could actually smile so sincerely in front of him.
Even her almond-shaped eyes shone with a glimmer of light, more dazzling than the brightest star in the night sky.
But when he was with her, did she really like it?
She used to always make him go to the study, wishing he could be ten miles away from her.
But when he remembered that her change had occurred yesterday, and that he had said those words, he felt relieved.
As long as she needs him, that's enough.
Shen Fuhan was about to send a message through a guard, but after a moment's thought, he stood up again.
"You all eat first, I'm going to see the steward of the princess's residence."
Wen Jiayue nodded. As long as he didn't have to see the Princess, she would let him do whatever he wanted.
She understood that Shen Fuhan was in a difficult position, since he still had to investigate Shen Fufei's affairs, and it wouldn't hurt to appease the princess's emotions.
But she still said, "The sooner you go, the sooner you'll return, my lord... However, surely the steward won't persuade you to go to the princess's residence again?"
Shen Fuhan looked at her and said, "I will never go back on my promise to you."
He left quickly, and Wen Jiayue withdrew her gaze and continued eating.
Just as Wen Jiayue picked up a slice of bamboo shoot with her chopsticks, she accidentally dropped the dish while shaking it uncontrollably.
She looked helplessly at the culprit, Shen Funian, and asked, "Why are you grabbing my arm?"
Shen Funian, completely oblivious to being the culprit, asked smugly, "Have you fallen in love with my older brother?"
Wen Jiayue: "..."
Should she say she's a good actress, or should she say Shen Funian has bad eyesight?
She didn't say anything and continued picking up food.
Shen Funian assumed she was just being shy and asked mysteriously, "Should I leave early after my meal so as not to disturb your good time?"
Wen Jiayue gave her a reproachful look: "Don't you value Yao'er's studies the most?"
“Yao’er’s studies are no longer important,” Shen Funian waved her hand. “I’m more concerned about you and my older brother now.”
Wen Jiayue sighed: "Eat quickly."
“Okay,” Shen Funian said with a smile, “I’ll leave after I finish eating.”
Wen Jiayue: "..."
She was just trying to change the subject; she didn't really want her to leave.
Just as I was about to find an excuse to keep him, Shen Funian offered his own reason.
"By the way, what did my elder brother just say about him and the Princess having nothing... nothing at all?"
Wen Jiayue deliberately said, "This is a long story. Aren't you leaving soon? Let's talk about it next time."
Shen Funian thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I think Yao'er's studies are more important, so I'm not leaving."
The two sisters-in-law chatted happily, but Shen Fuhan's side was stuck in a stalemate.
The steward rubbed his hands together and said cautiously, "Lord Shen, why don't you go over there? You've refused the Princess's invitation twice in a row. I'm worried that she'll be angry."
Although he spoke eloquently, claiming to be considering Shen Fuhan's well-being, he was actually thinking of himself.
This used to be the simplest job; every time we invited Lord Shen, he would accept the invitation.
He agreed to whatever His Highness said.
But this time he was so stubborn that he refused the invitation twice in a row.
Thinking of the people the princess killed yesterday, the steward couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Who knows if he would be next?
Although he had served the princess for many years and had worked hard even if he hadn't made any great contributions, she would still be angry regardless of their relationship.
Since he can't get anyone to come, he'll try to get someone else.
Thinking of this, the steward continued, "Lord Shen, please reconsider. This old servant can wait a bit."
To everyone's surprise, Shen Fuhan did not back down and said, "I do have something to attend to. I will go and apologize another day. Manager, please leave."
Upon hearing that Lord Shen would be going in person, the steward hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Lord Shen could give this old servant a definite date, so that this old servant can give an explanation to Her Highness the Princess."
Shen Fuhan pondered for a moment and said, "If there is nothing to do at the Dali Temple tomorrow, I will go."
Upon hearing this, the butler almost kowtowed to him, his life saved!
He repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Shen, thank you, Lord Shen!"
With this statement, the steward felt much more confident when he returned to the mansion to report.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess remained furious and shouted, "You wretch!"
That bright and beautiful face instantly twisted into a grotesque expression, and the red nail polish on her fingertips seemed to drip with blood, transforming her into a vengeful ghost dressed in red.
The steward was sweating profusely. Lord Shen had already said he would come tomorrow, so why was the princess still so angry?
Without thinking twice, he knelt down shakily.
"Princess, please calm down."
Li Zhilan stared at him and said fiercely, "I'm giving you one more thing. If you don't do it well, today will be your death day!"
A glimmer of hope ignited in the steward's heart: "This old servant is willing to do anything for Your Highness, even if it means going through fire and water!"
“Go and call Wen Ruohuan over,” Li Zhilan said coldly. “If you act in secret and are discovered, not only you, but your family will also be doomed.”
The manager felt a chill run down his spine and immediately went to do it.
When Wen Ruohuan entered the princess's residence, the guards who were monitoring her also returned to the Jing'an Marquis's residence.
Shen Fuhan was teaching Shen Chengyao his lessons when he saw the guards approaching. He instructed them, "Yao'er, read it a few times first. I'll be right back."
Shen Chengyao then began to recite it, shaking his head and swaying his body.
As Shen Fuhan walked out, a guard lowered his voice and reported, "The Princess sent a steward to the Wen residence and secretly brought out Miss Wen the Third without alerting anyone else."
He nodded slightly: "How has the Wen family been these days?"
"Calm and calm."
Shen Fuhan didn't ask any more questions: "Continue to keep an eye on the Wen residence."
The guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "My lord, shouldn't we be sending someone to infiltrate the princess's residence at this time..."
“No need. I naturally have people in the princess’s residence as well,” Shen Fuhan said calmly. “Go back and continue to keep an eye on things.”
"Yes!"
