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

Chapter 126 will use this matter to threaten her.

The next morning, we continued our journey.

After three consecutive days of this, Wen Jiayue had gotten used to it, but she was still extremely happy when she learned that she would arrive in Yuzhou by noon today.

She finished reading the storybook yesterday, and today she started making silk flowers.

Glancing at Shen Fuhan, who was reading a book, Wen Jiayue asked, "Why isn't the Marquis riding a horse?"

He asked calmly, "You really want me to leave?"

Wen Jiayue wanted to agree, but after thinking about it carefully, she cautiously shook her head.

"If Your Excellency wishes to ride a horse, then ride a horse; if you wish to ride a carriage, then ride a carriage. I will not interfere."

Shen Fuhan didn't reply and continued reading.

Wen Jiayue made a silk flower and held it up on her head to test it, but unfortunately she didn't have a bronze mirror, so she didn't know if it looked good.

Although Shen Fuhan was right in front of her, after thinking for a moment, she still didn't ask the question. What kind of nice things could he possibly say?

Wen Jiayue placed the pink silk flower on the small wooden table and continued making the second one.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fuhan picked up the silk flower and examined it carefully.

She has skillful hands; even the simplest silk flowers are made exceptionally small, delicate, and lifelike.

Before he could speak, Wen Jiayue immediately said, "You are not allowed to comment."

"Why?"

“I know what you’re going to say,” Wen Jiayue said, pursing her lips. “I don’t want to hear it.”

Shen Fuhan asked calmly, "What do I want to say?"

How could they be so in sync?

Many words flashed through Wen Jiayue's mind—ordinary, ugly, worthless...

Fortunately, I swallowed it back before I could say it.

If he gets angry, she'll be the one who suffers.

"I suddenly don't want to talk anymore." She continued to bury herself in making silk flowers.

Seeing that she was working hard, Shen Fuhan didn't disturb her anymore and focused on reading.

After Wen Jiayue finished the second one, she looked up and saw him holding a book in one hand and flipping through it while playing with a silk flower in the other.

The pink silk flower, held between the index and middle fingers, transforms into a budding flower.

As my fingertips gently caressed the petals, they were revealed inch by inch, entwined around my long fingers, appearing somewhat tender.

As she looked around, Wen Jiayue inexplicably felt her face getting hot, but she didn't quite understand why. Hesitantly, she looked away and lifted the curtain.

Seeing her look away, Shen Fuhan held the silk flower in his hand and glanced at her discreetly.

She blushed, though only a faint pink tinge appeared on her cheeks.

Perhaps, we could try a different approach to make her less resistant to sexual intercourse.

Shen Fuhan lowered his eyes in thought.

We finally arrived in Yuzhou around noon.

After their identities were verified, the carriage passed through the city gate without incident.

Wen Jiayue couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at a city that was completely different from the bustling Chang'an.

Yuzhou City is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It was already noon, but it still looked particularly dark. The buildings were mostly made of black stone, which made it look somewhat oppressive.

However, the faces of the people coming and going were full of smiles, the streets were bustling and noisy, and there were also many people dressed in foreign costumes, which looked quite novel.

She remembered reading in the book that the people of Yuzhou were good at business, and merchants were everywhere. It was normal for them to do business with people from other ethnic groups, so naturally, their business was all-encompassing.

After watching for a while, the carriage drove into a small alley, where it became much quieter.

Before long, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.

“You’ll be staying here for the next few days.” Shen Fuhan helped her out of the car without further ado.

Wen Jiayue couldn't refuse any longer and asked in surprise, "Don't you live here?"

"Let's talk after we go in."

Everyone busied themselves, and Shen Fuhan led her into the main bedroom.

After closing the door, he said, "I may not come back often, but I will leave you with enough guards."

Wen Jiayue was relieved and asked, "Can I go out now?"

"Where?"

"Let's go to the temple; I've heard it's very effective."

Shen Fuhan said, "I'll go with you when I have time."

Wen Jiayue frowned and asked, "What if you're always busy?"

"I won't go if I'm not free."

Wen Jiayue: "..."

So she came here just to stay somewhere else?

She pursed her lips, but knew that important matters were more important and she couldn't let her cause them to be neglected.

"Alright, Lord Marquis, please go and get busy."

“No rush,” Shen Fuhan said, pulling her toward the bed. “I’m a little tired, let’s rest for a while.”

Wen Jiayue immediately became alarmed and shook off his hand.

"It's already noon, why don't we go and have lunch first?"

Shen Fuhan did not insist and simply agreed.

Seeing him like this, Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief and secretly prayed that he would finish his meal and then go about his business.

Heaven was more kind to her than she had imagined; before she had even finished half of her meal, a guard requested an audience.

Upon seeing that it was the head guard Ling He, Shen Fuhan let him in without any hesitation.

Ling He whispered something in his ear.

Shen Fuhan nodded and called out to him before he turned to leave.

"You'll be responsible for protecting the lady this time; you don't need to come out with me."

Ling He hesitated for a moment, but still clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "Yes."

Wen Jiayue was also somewhat stunned. The head of the guards was personally protecting her? Had Shen Fuhan taken the wrong medicine?

However, she knew the guard captain's temperament; apart from Shen Fuhan, he wouldn't listen to anyone's orders or give anyone face.

Even if she were the wife of a marquis, she would be no exception. Sending Ling He to guard the residence was definitely to supervise her and prevent her from going out.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiayue said, "My lord, you should let Guard Ling accompany you. I won't go out."

Ling He also raised his voice and said, "If I have done anything wrong, please enlighten me, Lord Marquis."

Wen Jiayue: "..."

While it might seem like a waste of talent for the head of the guard to be in charge of her safety, there's no need to say it so directly in front of her, is there?

With a stern face, she asked, "What does Guard Ling mean by this?"

Ling He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Please don't be offended, Madam. I didn't mean to look down on you at all."

It clearly exists.

But Wen Jiayue was too lazy to argue with him, and she didn't want a stubborn person to protect her anyway.

"My lord, you should choose someone else. I think Guard Ling would prefer to follow you."

"No change."

Shen Fuhan then looked at Ling He and calmly said, "Go run ten laps around the yard."

Ling He was puzzled, but he resolutely obeyed orders and immediately took action.

Before long, the sound of rhythmic running could be heard from the courtyard.

Wen Jiayue asked in confusion, "Why did the Marquis punish him?"

"It's nothing," Shen Fuhan said, putting some food on her plate. "Keep eating."

Wen Jiayue discussed with him: "I think it would be better to change the guard. It's really a waste of Ling's talents to stay here."

Whether or not my talents are wasted is up to me.

Seeing that he was determined to do so and there was no room for negotiation, Wen Jiayue had no choice but to keep quiet.

After running ten laps, Ling He returned without even breaking a sweat.

"I have accepted the punishment. Please give your instructions, Lord Marquis."

Shen Fuhan said, "From now on, obey Madam's orders and do not disobey."

Wen Jiayue asked, "Can I go to a temple if I want?"

Shen Fuhan said ambiguously, "You can give it a try."

These past few days, the word "try" has been mentioned so many times that Wen Jiayue immediately understood what he meant.

She pursed her lips, and he would use this to threaten her!
