Chapter 149 Was that a contraceptive soup last time?
Wen Jiayue's heart raced.
She was certain that she and Ruyi had not mentioned the words "contraceptive soup".
But Shen Fuhan knew about it.
Who leaked the secret? Su Ye?
But if he had known all along, he probably wouldn't have waited until now to tell, right?
Or... is Shen Fuhan bluffing her?
Thinking of this, Wen Jiayue decided to play dumb.
She composed herself and asked, "What is Your Excellency saying?"
Shen Fuhan approached calmly, step by step.
He looked at Ruyi: "You go out first."
Although Ruyi was afraid, she was even more afraid that the Marquis would punish his wife. She thought that she might be able to help if she stood by, so she gritted her teeth and didn't move.
Wen Jiayue didn't want to involve Ruyi, so she pushed her out the door.
"Go out."
Ruyi's eyes were filled with tears: "Madam..."
"It's alright," Wen Jiayue comforted her, "The Marquis just misheard."
Ruyi knew it wasn't appropriate for her to be there. The lady was intentionally hiding something, and if she stayed, it would only confirm that the lady was lying. So she had no choice but to leave, looking back every few steps.
However, she also thought of a solution: she would go and call for help!
Since the Third Aunt and the Madam have such a good relationship lately, perhaps they can offer some advice or reassurance?
Thinking of this, Ruyi pushed open the door and ran towards Chang Le Courtyard.
The door closed, and Wen Jiayue clenched her hands, trying to appear calm.
However, since Shen Fuhan was working at the Dali Temple, her true thoughts were completely transparent to him.
Shen Fuhan glanced down at her and asked, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Wen Jiayue was taken aback, not expecting him to change the subject.
The more she said, the more mistakes she would make, and besides, her mind was in turmoil, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
“I was a bit too unrestrained last night,” Shen Fuhan said in a low voice. “If you feel unwell, let me know immediately.”
He spoke with a straight face, but Wen Jiayue's face gradually became hot.
"Stop talking!"
She wasn't angry at him, but at herself.
Last night, she was so overcome with passion that she even took the initiative to climb onto his neck.
Although she regained her senses in time, it only emboldened him to launch an even more ferocious attack.
She was unwilling to admit that she also craved his body.
Shen Fuhan nodded and said, "Then let's talk about Su Ye."
Wen Jiayue froze. Was it really Su Ye who tipped her off?
Because of the fact that he took her pulse and gave her medicine when she was on her deathbed in her previous life, she trusted Su Ye so much. But he actually told Shen Fuhan about it.
Did he only help her out of a sudden act of kindness in his past life?
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice Shen Fuhan sitting next to her.
Shen Fuhan said, “Su Ye is the youngest son of General Xiao, an old friend of my father. He is only interested in medicine and does not want to join the army. So he secretly ran back from the border and asked me to take him in. That’s how he became Master Qian’s apprentice.”
In a few words, Shen Fuhan revealed Su Ye's identity.
Wen Jiayue almost fainted upon hearing this.
An unknown apprentice of a physician in the imperial court is actually the son of a general!
Since Su Ye has always been Shen Fuhan's person, was the medicine in the previous life due to Su Ye's great kindness, or was there some other reason?
Her expression became confused, and she remained silent for a long time.
Shen Fuhan continued slowly: "Last time, the day you drank the contraceptive soup, Su Ye handed me a letter asking me what to do."
Wen Jiayue felt her heart clench suddenly; it turned out he had known all along.
But why didn't he mention it?
Why did you say it this time?
Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Fuhan asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"
He remained calm, as if he were recounting someone else's story.
Wen Jiayue bit her lip and asked in a trembling voice, "Was the contraceptive soup I drank last time?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Ruyi's voice came from outside the door.
"My lord! My lady! Third Aunt has arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and Shen Funian came in looking anxious.
Upon hearing Ruyi's words, she rushed over, expecting to witness a tense standoff, and was prepared to mediate.
Unexpectedly, they simply sat together calmly, and even looked surprised when they saw her.
Shen Funian frowned and looked at Ruyi.
Ruyi never expected that nothing would happen between the Marquis and his wife after she had been gone for so long.
Shen Fuhan asked, "What is it?"
"Ah... I... I've come to ask my sister-in-law how to knit clothes."
Shen Funian made up a random excuse.
Shen Fuhan remained silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "Alright, I'm going to the study."
Wen Jiayue also stood up; he hadn't told her yet!
But Shen Fuhan had already strode away.
Her gaze followed him, hesitating whether or not to chase after him.
"Stop looking, everyone's gone," Shen Funian finally had a chance to catch her breath. "I almost worked myself to death."
Ruyi realized she had done something wrong and immediately knelt down.
"Madam, I was wrong..."
Wen Jiayue pulled her up and said softly, "It's not your fault. I also thought the Marquis would punish me."
Unexpectedly, he simply brushed it off lightly, even revealing Su Ye's identity to her.
Thinking of Su Ye, Wen Jiayue looked at Shen Funian.
After hesitating for a moment, she let Ruyi go out.
After the door closed, Wen Jiayue tentatively asked, "Third Sister, do you know when Su Ye entered the Marquis's residence?"
Upon suddenly hearing Su Ye's name, Shen Funian, who was fanning herself with her hand, almost slapped herself in the face.
She asked guiltily, "Huh? Who did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Wen Jiayue pretended not to know and explained, "Su Ye is Qian Lao's apprentice."
Shen Funian pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking: "Oh, him? I remember now. What happened to him?"
Wen Jiayue had no choice but to ask again, "When did he enter the manor?"
"I don't know," Shen Funian asked, puzzled. "Why would you pay attention to a physician from the prefecture?"
She genuinely didn't know. To her, her relationship with Su Ye was simply a matter of mutual benefit; why should she bother understanding him?
Wen Jiayue shook her head; it seemed she was unaware of Su Ye's true identity.
Shen Funian quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about Su Ye anymore, what exactly is going on between you and my older brother?"
In her haste, Ruyi grabbed her and ran away. She didn't hear clearly what had happened, but seeing her anxious expression, she quickly followed.
Wen Jiayue hesitated.
However, remembering that she had drunk the contraceptive soup last time, Shen Funian knew about it, so she didn't hide it and told her about it.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Shen Funian slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "You've gone too far!"
When Wen Jiayue drank the contraceptive soup last time, Shen Funian did not stop her, after all, she had only given birth two or three months ago, and it would definitely harm her health if she got pregnant.
Although she was somewhat anxious that the Shen family had no successor, as a woman herself, she naturally thought about Wen Jiayue's health.
Now that half a year has passed, her body should have recovered by now, right?
But Wen Jiayue still refused!
She asked angrily, "Hasn't my older brother treated you well?"
