After the delicate and soft-spoken wife gave up, the aloof and powerful minister embraced her and sh

Chapter 158 Big Brother will definitely listen to you.

Wen Jiayue had no choice but to stay.

After a while, Yao'er returned.

Shen Funian asked in surprise, "You memorized it so quickly?"

Shen Chengyao greeted Wen Jiayue first, and then said, "No, Mother, I'm hungry, I want something."

After saying that, he hid behind his aunt, afraid that his mother would hit him.

Shen Funian was furious: "You can eat it when you've memorized it!"

Taking the opportunity, Shen Chengyao asked, "Can I have some roast chicken?"

"As long as you can memorize the first ten lines, I can roast chicken, or even peacock!"

"No need for that, Mother. You and Aunt can have the roasted peacock. I'll just have the roasted chicken."

Shen Chengyao happily ran back to his study.

Wen Jiayue chuckled: "Yao'er is quite filial."

Shen Funian took a deep breath: "Then I'll give him to you."

Wen Jiayue hurriedly waved her hand: "I can give birth myself."

"All talk and no action is useless," Shen Funian snorted twice. "Why don't you do it?"

Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and said, "Actually, your older brother doesn't want children for the time being either."

Shen Funian blurted out, "How is that possible!"

“If you don’t believe me, go ask him,” Wen Jiayue said. “That’s what he told me, and we’ve reached an agreement.”

Just as Shen Funian was about to speak, she suddenly noticed a red mark that had appeared on her neck at some point, and her expression immediately became somewhat subtle.

Noticing her gaze, Wen Jiayue paused for a moment and awkwardly pulled her clothes up higher.

Shen Funian drawled out an "Oh," and said, "I understand."

Wen Jiayue blushed and asked, "What do you know?"

She realized it was inappropriate after she finished speaking; she wouldn't be able to handle it if Shen Funian said something outrageous again.

Just as I was about to change the subject, a maid came to report that Su Ye had arrived.

Shen Funian quickly composed herself and lay back down on the bed, looking weak.

Su Ye came in with a stern face and handed the prepared medicine to Fu Rong.

"This is a pain-relieving and calming herbal medicine."

Wen Jiayue helped Shen Funian sit up.

Shen Funian glanced at it; it was dark and unappealing, and she couldn't tell what had been added to it. It had a faint fishy smell, and she immediately felt nauseous.

However, in order to get Su Ye out of the mansion, she decided to endure it and drink at least three spoonfuls.

Furong scooped up a spoonful of the still-steaming medicine, blew on it, and brought it to her lips.

Shen Funian closed her eyes, held her breath, and took the first sip. She didn't dare to savor the taste and quickly swallowed it.

Su Ye opened a square box containing candied fruit at the right moment, and a sweet and sour aroma wafted out.

Glancing at Wen Jiayue beside him, he explained, "The medicine is bitter, so I always carry candied fruit with me in case my masters need it."

This explanation sounded somewhat reasonable, and Wen Jiayue nodded, suppressing a laugh.

Shen Funian ate three candied fruits, barely managing to suppress the strange taste.

She also felt excruciating after drinking the second and third spoonfuls, but she waved her hand and said, "I feel much better. I'll leave the rest for now."

Su Ye said, "Since you've brewed a bowl of medicine, you should naturally drink it all. Drinking only three sips will have minimal effect."

“I said that’s enough,” Shen Funian glared at him. “If you keep nagging, I’ll kick you out.”

Su Ye hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to stand aside.

To ensure the medicine would work, Shen Funian chatted with him casually, asking, "Doctor Su, how old are you?"

Su Ye looked at her incredulously before answering, "Eighteen."

Shen Funian was also surprised; he was actually two years younger than her.

Wen Jiayue was equally stunned. Did she never know Su Ye's age?

Shen Funian suppressed her shock and asked, "Where is your hometown?"

"Chang'an."

"From Chang'an?" Shen Funian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are your parents still alive?"

Su Ye looked at her and whispered, "They're at the border."

His palms were sweaty; he hoped she would remember him, yet he also hoped everything would remain the same.

"Oh," Shen Funian nodded, "That's quite far. Why aren't you with your parents?"

Su Ye suddenly released her strength; she really didn't remember him at all.

He then told the truth: "I am determined to study medicine, but my parents do not agree, so I have traveled thousands of miles back to Chang'an."

Shen Funian seemed to be thinking about something. Wouldn't kicking him out of the mansion be helping his parents, allowing him to be by their side and fulfill his filial duties? It would be a good thing.

Thinking of this, the slight guilt she felt vanished without a trace.

After a moment of hesitation, she coughed a few times and pulled out a blood-stained handkerchief she had prepared beforehand to cover her mouth.

She removed the handkerchief and exclaimed in alarm, "Su Ye, what did you give me to drink just now?!"

Su Ye was already staring at her nervously when he noticed the bloodstains on the handkerchief, and his pupils contracted.

He immediately tried to take her pulse, but Shen Funian, afraid he would notice, quickly put her hands behind her back.

"You want to harm me? I don't believe you! Guards, throw Su Ye out of the manor!"

Seeing that her voice was full of energy, Su Ye knew that there was something fishy going on and calmed down.

"You want to kick Su out before you've even found out the truth?" He moved closer to her and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "What's your rush?"

Shen Fu felt a chill run down his spine and was somewhat overwhelmed. He looked at Wen Jiayue for help.

Wen Jiayue sighed and advised, "Doctor Su, please move outside and wait for the Marquis to return before making a decision."

Su Ye gave Shen Funian a deep look before leaving.

After the door closed, Shen Funian patted her chest: "You scared me to death, thank goodness you were here."

Wen Jiayue asked, her expression complicated, "Are you that afraid of him?"

Shen Funian didn't know his true identity. To her, Su Ye was just a minor physician in the palace, so she shouldn't be so afraid of him.

“You don’t understand, he’s incredibly fierce in private,” Shen Funian snorted. “No wonder he’s so fearless, it’s because he’s young and inexperienced.”

Wen Jiayue shook her head helplessly and asked, "What do you plan to do now?"

“You already told me that when my older brother comes back,” Shen Fu said, “I’ve already vomited blood, and he will definitely kick Su Ye out without saying a word.”

Wen Jiayue had to remind her, "You have a misunderstanding about your older brother. He will definitely find out the truth first."

“Impossible,” Shen Funian said proudly, raising her chin. “My older brother still loves me very much.”

Changing the subject, she added, "Even if he doesn't listen to me, he'll definitely listen to you."

Wen Jiayue stared at her, speechless.

Could Shen Funian have really gone mad from drinking the medicine? When has Shen Fuhan ever listened to her?

“I knew you wouldn’t believe me,” Shen Funian said confidently. “Just wait and see.”
