Chapter 221 His Thoughts Are Clearly Revealed

Upon hearing this, the side hall fell silent for a moment, then suddenly became somewhat chaotic.

Shen Fuyou exclaimed in alarm, "Why is Big Brother back?!"

It's just past Shenshi (3-5 PM), he should be diligently performing his duties at the Dali Temple, why has he returned to his residence?

Why did she have to come back just when he brought Yan'er into the mansion?

He was sweating profusely. Could it be that his older brother already knew about him and Yan'er?

Then they deliberately waited until today to wait for the rabbit to run into their trap.

Given my older brother's personality, he is indeed capable of doing something like this.

Thinking of this, Shen Fuyou said, "Yan'er, you should hide quickly. If anything happens, I will take responsibility. I will definitely not let you get hurt."

Xie Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Fourth Master, what nonsense are you talking about? I won't leave on my own. I... I'll stay with you forever..."

"No, you have no idea how terrifying my older brother is," Shen Fuyou pushed her out. "Hurry, hurry, it'll be too late if we wait any longer!"

He panicked and lost his composure, but Wen Jiayue remained calm and stopped him.

“If you go out now, you might run into your older brother, and then you'll have even less of a way to explain yourself. Don't scare yourself unnecessarily. What if he just happened to be returning home? Wouldn't that expose us?”

With Wen Jiayue's comforting words, Shen Fuyou gradually calmed down.

“Sister-in-law is right, I was too hasty,” he took a deep breath. “Let’s just sit here, I’m not afraid.”

Although he said he wasn't afraid, his hands were trembling slightly.

Wen Jiayue shook her head. It seemed that Shen Fuhan was not someone to be trifled with in the eyes of her younger siblings, and Shen Fuyou was actually so afraid of him.

Needless to say, Shen Funian followed Shen Fuhan's lead without the slightest disobedience.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Xie Yan, who also seemed quite lost, her head bowed and silent.

Wen Jiayue comforted her, "Miss Xie, don't be too nervous. As long as you don't say anything, the Marquis won't pay too much attention to you."

Xie Yan curtsied and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Madam."

Shen Fuyou naturally lost his mood for joking around. He would glance at the door every now and then, and would become like a frightened bird at the slightest movement.

Seeing this, Wen Jiayue casually started a conversation.

"Fourth brother seems to have been staying at home all the time lately. Why hasn't he gone out to see anything else?"

Shen Fu said with concern, "Now that business has stabilized, we probably won't need to go out so often anymore."

Speaking of this, Wen Jiayue didn't know what kind of business he was in, so she asked.

Shen Fuyou was about to answer when he suddenly caught sight of his elder brother and immediately fell silent.

He stood up and, forcing himself to speak, called out, "Big Brother."

Xie Yan curtsied in response, without looking up or saying a word.

Wen Jiayue asked calmly, "Why has the Marquis returned at this time?"

Shen Fuhan's gaze fell on her face, and he explained, "The Emperor has summoned you to the palace to see Consort Yun in a little while."

Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief; as expected, they weren't after Shen Fuyou.

She quickly said, "I'll go change now. Fourth brother, I won't keep you any longer, you should go back now."

Shen Fuyou then said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer, elder brother and sister-in-law. I'll take my leave first."

Just as he was about to slip away, Shen Fuhan suddenly spoke up: "What are you doing here?"

"I've been bored and wanted to chat with my sister-in-law," Shen Fu said, looking up at the sky. "My older brother won't allow it, will he?"

Shen Fuhan immediately recalled the blunder on New Year's Eve last year, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Nature allows it."

Shen Fu asked with concern, "Then shall I leave?"

Shen Fuhan nodded and watched him leave.

Fearing he might notice something, Wen Jiayue stood in front of him, blocking his view.

"My lord, please come with me."

Shen Fuhan raised an eyebrow slightly. Together? To change clothes?

He paused, nodded slightly, and went into the bedroom without saying a word.

Wen Jiayue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Fuhan was so obedient that he probably didn't notice.

After closing the door and entering the inner room, Wen Jiayue asked Ruyi to find some clothes.

Shen Fuhan's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he said, "No need to change, this outfit is fine."

She rarely wears such bright colors, but they actually suit her very well and make her stand out.

The osmanthus flower she wore in her hair was a particularly striking detail.

Wen Jiayue stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself, asking suspiciously, "Really?"

“Really,” Shen Fuhan said decisively, “Ruyi, you may go now.”

Wen Jiayue assumed he had something else to tell her, so she waved for Ruyi to leave.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fuhan simply moved closer to her and pulled her into his arms.

The fragrance of osmanthus is intoxicating, and its gentle warmth fills my heart.

They've been having sex quite often lately, and Wen Jiayue has gotten used to his closeness, so she hasn't struggled.

Moreover, if he struggles, he will become more agitated, which is counterproductive.

Shen Fuhan asked in a low voice, "Why are you wearing flowers in your hair today?"

Wen Jiayue then remembered the osmanthus flower in her hair and explained, "Zhaozhao put it on me; I had completely forgotten about it."

She was about to reach out and take it away when Shen Fuhan grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"Wear it."

Wen Jiayue listened to him and put her hand down.

Shen Fuhan did not let go of her hand, but gently stroked her wrist.

Wen Jiayue felt a little itchy and knew what Shen Fuhan wanted to do.

If he hasn't said anything serious for so long, then he has nothing serious to say.

He deliberately sent Ruyi away, leaving a man and a woman alone in a room, and since they were husband and wife, his intentions were obvious.

She urged, "My lord, we should go now. Don't keep the Emperor and Consort Yun waiting."

Shen Fuhan agreed and let go of her.

Wen Jiayue was somewhat surprised. It seemed that his patience had improved, probably because he had been eating well lately.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiayue's face suddenly turned red.

What is she thinking? How could she think like that!

She felt ashamed of her thoughts. As the saying goes, "One is influenced by one's company," and she must have been led astray by Shen Fuhan!

Wen Jiayue rubbed her face, trying to make the blush fade away as soon as possible.

Shen Fuhan noticed her subtle movements and asked, "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing," Wen Jiayue pretended to wipe her sweat, "I just feel a little stuffy."

I didn't feel it just now, but it's definitely a bit muggy now, and the sky is starting to turn yellowish. It looks like there's going to be a heavy rain tonight.

Shen Fuhan noticed the unusual blush on her face and frowned, asking, "Is something wrong?"

Wen Jiayue was taken aback: "No."

"If that's the case, why is your face so red?"

As he spoke, he took her hand again and took her pulse.

Apart from a slightly rapid heart rate, there were no other abnormalities.

Wen Jiayue awkwardly withdrew her hand: "It's really nothing, I already said it's hot."

Shen Fuhan didn't believe it and frowned, saying, "You're lying."

"I didn't!" Wen Jiayue glared at him. "Are you leaving or not?"

Seeing her like a cat with its fur standing on end, Shen Fuhan couldn't help but chuckle and stopped mentioning it, deciding to question her slowly that evening.
