Chapter 249 Shura Field
Pei Huaijin and Wen Jiayue were still talking.
She was shy, she was coquettish, and she smiled radiantly.
He was gentle, he chuckled, and he gazed at her.
Shen Fuhan saw all of this, but made no move.
He didn't know what he was thinking, or perhaps he wasn't thinking anything at all; he was just staring intently.
It felt like a thorn was stuck in my eye, my ears were ringing, my chest ached, and I couldn't even breathe properly.
Until Pei Huaijin left.
Wen Jiayue waved to him and watched him until he disappeared around the corner.
His leaden legs were finally freed from their shackles, allowing him to walk slowly toward her.
His pace was neither hurried nor slow, just like always.
Throughout his life, he has always remained remarkably calm when faced with major events.
Walking up to Wen Jiayue, he asked calmly, "What are you looking at?"
Wen Jiayue was startled, never expecting Shen Fuhan to appear here, and stammered, "Look, look at the scenery."
She tried her best to remain calm and asked with a smile, "Why has the Marquis come?"
She secretly groaned inwardly, wondering if Shen Fuhan had seen this.
Although she knew there was nothing between her and Brother Dragonfly, it certainly seemed different to others.
Moreover, Shen Fuhan is her husband, and if he misunderstands, it will not do her any good.
She carefully observed his reaction, which seemed unchanged from usual.
"I was worried you wouldn't adapt, so I came to check on you," Shen Fuhan said, glancing around. "Where's Ruyi?"
Wen Jiayue was stunned for a moment. Yes, why hasn't Ruyi returned yet?
She could only explain, "Ruyi went to get some snacks for me just now, she should be back soon."
Wen Jiayue breathed a small sigh of relief. Dragonfly Brother had been gone for so long, Shen Fuhan probably hadn't seen it.
If he really saw something, he would come and question her.
Since he doesn't know, it's better to avoid trouble and pretend that Brother Dragonfly never came.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome to explain, and she didn't know how to tell Shen Fuhan about Dragonfly Brother's identity.
Shen Fuhan asked, "You've been here for so long, are you getting used to it?"
Wen Jiayue nodded: "It's fine."
Have you met anyone you'd like to get to know?
Upon hearing this, Wen Jiayue's heart skipped a beat.
What does he mean by asking that?
But he looked calm at the moment, so it was probably just a casual question.
Moreover, what else can you do at a flower-viewing banquet besides socializing?
So Wen Jiayue said, "No, I just happened to be hungry, so I came here to find some peace and quiet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruyi came over carrying a plate of pastries and a cup of tea.
"Madam, I'm back," she looked up, then paused, "Lord Marquis?"
Shen Fuhan said, "Put it there."
Ruyi hesitated and said, "This servant did not know that the Marquis was also here, so I only took one serving of snacks and tea. May I go and get another one?"
Wen Jiayue was about to say no, since he might leave soon, when Shen Fuhan nodded and said, "Okay."
Wen Jiayue asked in surprise, "Does the Marquis intend to stay here?"
"Is that not allowed?" Shen Fuhan sat down opposite her with a nonchalant expression. "I'm hungry too."
Wen Jiayue then pushed the snacks toward him.
Shen Fuhan glanced at it, reached out to take it, but suddenly felt a piercing pain in his palm, which spread throughout his body.
His movements paused for a moment, and when he opened his palm, he discovered that a thorn had been embedded in it.
The thorns cut my palm, and the dripping blood was about to congeal, making the lines on my palm even clearer.
Seeing that he was staring at her hands, Wen Jiayue asked in confusion, "Why isn't Your Excellency eating?"
Shen Fuhan withdrew his hand, saying cryptically, "You have quite an appetite."
Wen Jiayue was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had unknowingly eaten three pieces of mung bean cake.
This mung bean cake seems to have been chilled; it has a refreshing coolness when you eat it, making it especially refreshing on such a hot and humid day.
She picked up the teacup and said shyly, "It's quite delicious."
Shen Fuhan glanced at the particularly glaring green.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Which is tastier, the food at the Marquis of Jing'an's residence or the food at the Duke of Qi's residence?"
Wen Jiayue thought for a moment and answered seriously, "It's from the Duke of Qi's mansion, right? The mung bean cake isn't too sweet; it's quite refreshing. Would the Marquis like to try it?"
“No interest,” Shen Fuhan said coldly. “I’m going back now.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked away quickly.
Having escaped Wen Jiayue's sight, Shen Fuhan looked coldly at Pei Huaijin not far away.
When Pei Huaijin took the initiative to talk to him during his last trip back to the capital, he had ulterior motives.
He could accept any other purpose, but not Wen Jiayue's.
But how did Pei Huaijin come to know her?
Wen Jiayue did not reject his intimate gestures, which clearly indicated that they were old acquaintances.
But Pei Huaijin was not in the capital for the first nine years, and he grew up in the Duke of Qi's mansion. How did they become acquainted?
"Brother Shen!"
Pei Huaijin saw him, walked up to him, and smiled gently.
Shen Fuhan glanced at him coldly and asked, "What is it?"
The thorn in my palm hasn't been removed yet, and it still aches faintly.
His nature was cold and aloof, so Pei Huaijin didn't take it seriously and said gently, "Come and have a drink. Where did Brother Shen go just now?"
"...Change clothes."
While the men continued their lively activity, the women became much quieter.
Wen Jiayue's place was even quieter. She looked away, feeling somewhat puzzled.
One minute he wants to eat, the next he has no appetite. Has Shen Fuhan taken the wrong medicine?
A moment later, Ruyi brought over another serving, only to find that the Marquis had already left.
She asked in confusion, "Has the Marquis gone back?"
“Okay, never mind him,” Wen Jiayue gestured for her to sit down, “You eat.”
Ruyi did not refuse, and said with a smile, "Then this servant will not stand on ceremony."
She took a bite of the mung bean cake and exclaimed in surprise, "It's cold!"
Wen Jiayue smiled and said, "When we get back to the manor, remember to have the kitchen make this too. It tastes pretty good."
"Slave, you obey!"
The master and servant ate and chatted about trivial things, undisturbed by anyone.
Wen Jiayue hesitated, wondering whether she should tell Ruyi that Pei Huaijin was actually Brother Dragonfly.
After much thought, I still feel I should say it.
Dragonfly Brother invited her to meet at Peach Blossom Spring Restaurant the next day, and she prepared to go. Ruyi would definitely come with her.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiayue said, "Ruyi, when you went to get the snacks, the heir of the Duke of Qi, who was also the young Master Gu when he was a child, came over."
Ruyi's eyes widened instantly: "Madam, are you sure it's Young Master Gu?"
Just as Wen Jiayue was about to nod, Shen Fuhan walked over.
She also gave Ruyi a wink, signaling her not to reveal anything.
Wen Jiayue stood up and asked in confusion, "My lord, why have you come here again?"
"Take you to meet someone."
Shen Fuhan took her hand with his uninjured hand.
Wen Jiayue asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Shen Fuhan stared intently at her, but said calmly, "The heir of the Duke of Qi."
