Chapter 184 You Will Always Be My Wife
The table was quiet for a quarter of an hour before the old lady brought up another matter.
"Speaking of which, your daughter-in-law's wrist injury has healed considerably, hasn't it?"
Wen Jiayue's heart skipped a beat; she had almost forgotten about the morning and evening greetings.
She looked at Shen Fuhan.
Shen Fuhan glanced at her and said calmly, "Yue'er still needs to take care of Zhaozhao, so she doesn't need to pay her respects to Zhaozhao morning and evening anymore."
Wen Jiayue was slightly taken aback, never expecting him to say such a thing.
The old lady was immediately furious: "Paying respects to elders morning and evening is a rule, and showing filial piety is also a duty!"
Without Wen Jiayue's care these past few days, she felt unwell both in the mornings and before bed, and had long wanted her to start serving her again.
I eagerly awaited April, but my grandson wouldn't agree again!
I really don't know what kind of pillow talk Wen Jiayue used to persuade her grandson to stop paying his respects to her every morning and evening!
Shen Fuhan said calmly, "Other households don't have so many rules. Grandmother has maids to serve her, which is enough."
Seeing that he was determined to stop Wen Jiayue from paying her respects morning and evening, the old lady was indignant for a moment, then decided to change her strategy.
She wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed, "Without my granddaughter-in-law to take care of me these days, this old woman is really suffering."
Wen Jiayue understood the old lady's meaning; she was simply using a self-inflicted injury to awaken her "conscience."
Unfortunately, she is no longer the Wen Jiayue of her previous life, and she will never soften her heart just because of a few kind words.
Wen Jiayue said, "Grandmother, I am no match for the maids. If you think it's not enough, I will have a slave trader come tomorrow and buy a few more maids for you."
Shen Fuhan nodded and said, "Please take good care of the maid."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued eating.
Seeing that the couple were taking turns pleading and refusing to budge, the old lady became furious and her breathing became rapid.
Wen Jiayue frowned slightly; this symptom didn't seem like an act.
Just as she was about to call for the royal physician, she closed her mouth again.
Whether the old lady's health is good or bad has nothing to do with her. What difference would it make if she said it? The old lady wouldn't remember her kindness at all.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiayue pretended not to see and lowered her head to pick up some food.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
When Granny Zhao noticed that the old lady was acting strangely, she immediately panicked.
This sound made the group of people who were engrossed in their meal look up at the same time.
Shen Fuhan frowned and said, "Go and fetch the royal physician immediately."
Wen Jiayue sighed inwardly, then feigned a worried expression and looked at the old lady.
After a moment, the physician in charge of treating the old lady's palpitations quickly came over.
At this point, the old lady was almost unconscious, her breathing was too rapid, and her body was twitching from time to time.
After examining the patient, the physician first had a maid give the old lady a heart-saving pill before saying, "The old lady fainted due to excessive emotional excitement. She should wake up in about half an hour."
The physician advised, "The old lady is getting on in years. She should try to live a comfortable life in order to live a long and healthy life."
Shen Fuhan nodded slightly, and the physician went to prepare the medicine.
The group remained silent as they gathered around the bed.
Who was at fault in what just happened?
It's true that Wen Jiayue doesn't want to pay her respects to her parents at dawn and dusk, and it's also true that Shen Fuhan is speaking up for her.
However, the old lady insisted that she pay her respects to the deceased morning and evening. When she was refused, she was still angry and caused her heart palpitations to relapse.
Wen Jiayue remembered that in the four years of her previous life, the old lady only had heart palpitations twice. Each time she had a heart palpitation, she would age a few years and it would take a long time to recover her energy.
This time it was purely because she couldn't think straight.
If we don't let her continue her morning and evening greetings, why would she need to stay in bed to recuperate?
However... once the old lady wakes up, she will surely take this opportunity to have her take care of her.
Wen Jiayue had no intention of showing any fictitious filial piety. In her previous life, she had shown respect because the old lady was Shen Fuhan's grandmother.
But in this life, she couldn't even stand Shen Fuhan, let alone the annoying old lady.
Wen Jiayue pursed her lips. How could she refuse?
Half an hour later, the old lady slowly woke up.
Shen Fuhan sat on the edge of the bed and asked in a low voice, "Is Grandmother feeling unwell anywhere?"
The old lady stretched out her hand, pointing tremblingly at Wen Jiayue.
"It's her...she's the one who's making my heart palpitations," the old lady said with difficulty. "Fuhan, you must divorce her!"
Wen Jiayue raised her eyebrows slightly. How did it become her fault?
However, if she could really divorce her wife and take Zhaozhao away because of this, she would agree without hesitation.
It's just a pity that Zhaozhao couldn't be taken away at all.
Shen Fuhan's expression turned cold: "Grandmother is probably delirious from illness. You should take good care of yourself first, and I will come to see you another day."
After saying that, he stood up, ignoring what the old lady thought, and pulled Wen Jiayue out.
Wen Jiayue turned around and looked at the old lady, whose face was full of disbelief.
She found it incomprehensible. What was so unbelievable about this? She had only fainted because she was angry with Shen Fuhan, and her memories had been altered.
As soon as he returned to his bedroom, Shen Fuhan said with a stern face, "Don't take what Grandmother said just now to heart."
Wen Jiayue said "Oh" and lowered her eyes, "I'm used to it."
She was stating the facts, but Shen Fuhan's heart suddenly clenched.
He stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Does your grandmother often threaten you with divorce?"
Wen Jiayue was inwardly grumbling. The old lady clearly said she wanted to divorce him, so why did he change it to a mutual divorce?
She thought for a moment and said, "It's not often, just once in a while."
In her past life, whenever she failed to serve him properly, the old lady would tell Shen Fuhan to divorce his wife and marry another.
How naive she was back then! She really thought the old lady could influence Shen Fuhan's thoughts, so she served him even more diligently and attentively, and later she mentioned it less and less.
She thought she had gained the old lady's approval and become a legitimate granddaughter-in-law, but in reality, she was still treated as a maid.
Shen Fuhan gazed at her and said softly, "It won't happen again. You will always be my wife."
Wen Jiayue was taken aback, then looked into his eyes with a serious and solemn expression.
At this moment, she believed that Shen Fuhan was speaking from the heart, but the bitterness in her heart continued to spread.
The "forever" he spoke of was only for a short period of four years.
Four years later, everything had changed.
Wen Jiayue adjusted the corners of her mouth into a perfect arc and smiled gently: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Shen Fuhan asked, "Why should I thank you, Lord Marquis? I am your husband."
Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and remained silent.
He mentioned it once this morning, so why did he suddenly emphasize it twice today for no apparent reason?
Does he have some obsession with the title "husband"?
However, considering how much he had helped her that day, Wen Jiayue still went along with his wishes.
"Thank you, husband."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I hope my husband will stand by my side in the future."
Shen Fuhan asked, "When have I ever not stood by your side?"
Wen Jiayue was taken aback; it seemed... she had never done it before.
“Don’t assume things that don’t exist,” Shen Fuhan said earnestly. “You will always be my wife, and I will always be your husband.”
