Chapter 120 The Decision Is Yours

A cunning and treacherous old fox!

Wen Jiayue was even angrier. He actually came up with such a plan in order to get her to go to Yuzhou with him.

But she had no choice; for the sake of that dream, she had to go.

She paused, then asked doubtfully, "Were you not dreaming at all?"

What a coincidence! He had a dream yesterday and is going to Yuzhou today. Could it just be a pretext?

“If you don’t believe me, then forget it,” Shen Fuhan said without further ado. “The decision is yours.”

He also wanted to know how much this dream meant to her.

Would she choose to go to Yuzhou with him for the sake of a dream?

Wen Jiayue bit her lip, caught in a dilemma.

Shen Fuhan added, "Go have your meal first. I'll have someone pack up your things along with the food. You have a whole night to think it over."

Chewing her food listlessly, Wen Jiayue asked, "What about Yao'er's change of surname?"

Shen Fuhan said calmly, "Let's postpone it for a month and talk about it when I get back."

"So, what's the purpose of your trip to Yuzhou this time?"

Every time Shen Fuhan left Beijing, she didn't know what he was going to do. She asked him, but he always said it was a secret and never mentioned it again.

I'm bringing her along this time, so I should at least let her know something about it, right?

If it's dangerous, she doesn't want to risk her life at a time like this.

"confidential."

Shen Fuhan repeated the same sentence, and Wen Jiayue pursed her lips.

"If you take me with you, what if I see something I shouldn't?"

“No,” Shen Fuhan said, “and the Emperor has already agreed to let you go with him.”

Wen Jiayue was somewhat surprised that she actually had to consult the Emperor's opinion; it seemed this matter was of utmost importance.

But she didn't care, because Shen Fuhan would never tell her. Rather than guessing, it was better to remain ignorant.

After dinner, Wen Jiayue made up her mind and said, "I'm going to Yuzhou."

Shen Fuhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "We'll set off at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow. I'll call you then."

Just as the matter was settled, a maidservant outside reported: "My lord, madam, the old lady wants you to go to Ninghui Hall."

Wen Jiayue was reluctant to go, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

Regarding tomorrow's trip to Yuzhou, Shen Fuhan said, "Grandmother may have something to tell me."

Wen Jiayue said, "Then you can go by yourself, my lord. Just tell him that I have already gone to bed."

Shen Fuhan grabbed her wrist without saying a word: "Perhaps it has something to do with you too."

Wen Jiayue was a little puzzled. What did it have to do with her?

Upon arriving at Ninghui Hall, the old lady showered Shen Fuhan with concern and offered him a long list of instructions to be careful on the road.

Wen Jiayue yawned as she listened, clearly indicating that it had nothing to do with her.

“You will be going to Yuzhou without anyone to care for you,” the old lady sighed. “I am really worried about you.”

Wen Jiayue then realized that this was what the old lady was planning.

Shen Fuhan said calmly, "Grandmother, there's no need to worry. Yue'er will go with me."

The old lady was stunned upon hearing this, and the rest of her words stuck in her throat, unable to come out for a long time.

"She's going too?" the old lady tried to dissuade her. "Who will take care of the child?"

Shen Fuhan said, "There are wet nurses and servants."

"How heartless!" the old lady snorted. "The child is only five months old, yet you're willing to go on such a long trip!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiayue smiled, remembering Zhao Zhao's age at this moment.

She slowly said, "Grandmother, I don't want to leave Zhaozhao either, but the Marquis insisted that I go. If you can persuade him, I naturally won't have to go."

Upon hearing that this was her grandson's idea, the old lady clicked her tongue and said, "Is it really you who insists on taking her?"

Shen Fuhan nodded slightly: "Now Grandmother can rest assured?"

"Don't worry? I'm more worried than anything," the old lady said, pursing her lips. "What if she interferes with your important business?"

“I have consulted His Majesty, and His Majesty has already agreed.”

The old lady was completely speechless and had to find another excuse.

"In that case, instead of bringing two maids to take care of your wife, I think it would be better to let Hui'er and Cai'er go together."

Shen Fuhan said coldly, "Grandmother, too many people will cause trouble. One maid is enough."

The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Then take Hui'er there."

Wen Jiayue couldn't help but speak up: "Grandmother, I have Ruyi, and Hui'er's injury hasn't healed yet."

"Oh dear, you've been resting for so long, you're all better now," the old lady waved her hand. "Alright, alright, it's settled then, you can go back now."

Wen Jiayue frowned and looked at Shen Fuhan.

If Ruyi were to be replaced by Hui'er, she would rather not go.

Shen Fuhan spoke up promptly: "Grandmother, I haven't agreed yet."

The old lady said, "It's fine if you don't bring her. Just bring Zhaozhao here and I'll take care of her."

Wen Jiayue panicked immediately. What kind of care was this? It was clearly bullying!

She quickly said, "Then bring two maids."

Shen Fuhan looked at her with some surprise.

The old lady was satisfied with the result and let them leave with a smile.

As they walked out of Ninghui Hall, Shen Fuhan asked, "Why did you suddenly agree?"

Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and said, "Your Excellency has also noticed that Grandmother does not like Zhaozhao. I am afraid that if Zhaozhao starts crying, it will never end and will disturb Grandmother's rest."

Shen Fuhan glanced at her but said nothing.

Wen Jiayue was still a little worried. What if the old lady suddenly decided to take Zhaozhao away one day?

She asked, "Can Your Excellency guarantee that Zhaozhao will not leave the main courtyard during our time away from the capital?"

Shen Fuhan nodded slightly.

Even after receiving the promise, Wen Jiayue was still not entirely at ease and decided to go to Chang Le Yuan.

Shen Funian will definitely take good care of Zhaozhao for her.

Upon explaining his purpose, Shen Funian readily agreed.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of things," Shen Fu said. "If there's even the slightest disturbance, I'll rush over immediately."

Wang Chengyao retorted defiantly, "Me too! I'll protect my sister too!"

Wang Chengyao in his previous life was completely different from the one in this life. Wen Jiayue smiled and patted his head.

"Then I'll head back now."

Shen Funian didn't let her go. He glanced at his older brother standing to the side and pulled her aside to whisper to him.

"There are plenty of beautiful women outside, so you'd better keep a close eye on my older brother."

Wen Jiayue nodded perfunctorily.

Not to mention outside, there's Hui'er right here beside me.

“Don’t take this lightly,” Shen Fu said. “Although I believe in my elder brother’s character, he is a man. What if he has a one-night stand with some woman and comes to the Marquis’s mansion pregnant? What will we do then?”

Wen Jiayue couldn't listen anymore and said helplessly, "This time it's for serious business, not sightseeing, so don't worry."

Shen Funian had no choice but to say, "Alright, just keep a close eye on him and make sure he's not bewitched by some vixen outside."

Before Wen Jiayue could speak, a cold voice rang out from behind her.

"Shen Funian".

After simply calling out his name, Shen Funian immediately led her son into the house.

"I'm not saying anything more! Have a safe journey!"
