Chapter 103 The other quilt is practically useless.
They soon entered the main hall and began to talk together.
Zhang asked, "Why didn't you bring Zhaozhao along?"
Wen Jiayue explained, "It's cold, and I was afraid she would get cold, so I didn't bring her along."
Madam Zhang nodded in agreement, saying, "That's true. Zhao Zhao is still young; she can't afford to get sick."
She then took out a red envelope: "This is from your father and me for Zhaozhao. Please keep it safe."
Wen Jiayue did not refuse.
Zhang gave her two children a wink.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Ruohuan and Wen Ruoqian also presented red envelopes.
Wen Jiayue smiled and said, "You're still young, let's give it to you after you get married."
Zhang nudged her son's arm, urging him to speak.
Wen Ruoqian didn't know what to say, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "This is for my niece, please accept it, sister."
Wen Jiayue glanced at him but didn't say anything.
“Moon, Ruoqian knows he was wrong,” Madam Zhang said with a fawning smile. “You are siblings, and siblings should naturally help each other. Let’s let it go this time. Ruoqian will definitely study hard in the future to repay your kindness.”
Wen Jiayue no longer concealed her impatience and asked coldly, "Do we have to bring up such unpleasant things during the New Year?"
Madam Zhang said awkwardly, "How could it be a troublesome matter? This is a big deal for your brother, isn't it, Lord Marquis?"
She looked at Shen Fuhan, hoping he could help her.
Anyway, the Marquis is unaware of this matter, and seeing Wen Jiayue being so aggressive, he might even help teach her a lesson.
She's only been married into the Marquis's mansion for a year and she's already become arrogant and ignorant. Doesn't she realize that if it weren't for Shen Fuhan, would she have achieved her current status?
Shen Fuhan asked, "What important matter?"
“It’s naturally about studying,” Zhang said quickly. “This matter concerns both the Shen and Wen families. If Ruoqian passes the exam, the Marquis will also be proud.”
Shen Fuhan paused for a moment and said, "Then let him go take the exam. What does that have to do with Yue'er?"
He's already reached the position of Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, so why is he so clueless!
Madam Zhang was immediately anxious, but she had to speak tactfully: "I hope that Your Excellency will give me some guidance during the exam."
As a close advisor to the emperor, it shouldn't be difficult for you to promote someone, right?
Shen Fuhan said indifferently, "I am from the Dali Temple and have no say in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites."
He paused for a moment, then added, "If I remember correctly, Wen Ruoqian studied diligently for many years, but he didn't even pass the preliminary examination, did he?"
Zhang said awkwardly, "Well... Ruoqian is extremely talented, but he's always careless and made a mistake..."
Shen Fuhan gave a cold laugh.
In his opinion, Wen Ruoqian's talent might not even be as good as that of four-year-old Wang Chengyao.
He bluntly stated, "I already know about Wen Ruoqian's matter, and I will not help him."
Zhang was stunned for a moment, then glared angrily at Wen Jiayue. It must have been this little bitch who said it!
Everyone says that family scandals should not be aired in public, but she's different; she tells the Marquis everything!
Wen Jiayue looked over and asked, feigning surprise, "Why are you looking at me like that, Mother?"
Zhang suddenly came to her senses.
She might need Wen Jiayue's help in the future, so she couldn't afford to break off relations with her like this.
Zhang quickly composed herself and forced a smile.
"Moon, why did you tell the Marquis about this?"
Wen Jiayue was extremely impressed by his ability to change his expression faster than turning the pages of a book.
She said calmly, "The Marquis already knew about this during Zhao Zhao's full moon celebration."
These words struck like a bolt from the blue.
Zhang almost lost her balance and looked anxiously at Wen's father, "Say something!"
Wen's father coughed a few times and said dryly, "Ruoqian will change. He has been studying hard these days."
Wen Jiayue smiled and said, "Is that so? Why don't you let the Marquis test him? If he passes the Marquis's test, I will naturally have no objection."
Wen Ruoqian froze instantly: "No..."
"Good, good, good!" Zhang interrupted him. "Ruoqian, you must do your best."
After a moment's thought, Shen Fuhan produced a policy essay.
Wen Ruoqian stammered out a couple of sentences, then fell silent for a long while.
Zhang pinched him angrily: "Then say it!"
"I don't know," Wen Ruoqian said defiantly, "How would I know anything about this stuff!"
Zhang was even angrier: "You've really wasted all your education!"
Having watched the spectacle to her heart's content, Wen Jiayue gave Shen Fuhan a wink, signaling that now was the perfect time to slip away.
Shen Fuhan said, "Yue'er and I have other things to attend to, so we'll head back first."
Wen Ruohuan, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly became anxious and raised her voice, "Brother-in-law, you've only been here for a quarter of an hour!"
Wen Jiayue asked with a smile, "Why does Huan'er only ask about her brother-in-law and not about her, her sister?"
Wen Ruohuan forced a smile: "Isn't this my sister's turn? Sister, what's going on between you and brother-in-law? Do you really have to go back now?"
Wen Jiayue nodded and said, "The Marquis has a lot of things to do, it's already very kind of you to have sat for so long."
"But today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. How busy can my brother-in-law possibly be?" Wen Ruohuan pleaded. "Why don't you stay for lunch?"
Shen Fuhan frowned and said, "There really isn't any time."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out without even saying goodbye.
Seeing how anxious he was, no one dared to try to persuade him further.
Wen Jiayue followed him and quickly got into the carriage, thus escaping unscathed.
She breathed a sigh of relief as the trip went so smoothly.
Shen Fuhan asked, "Are you in a better mood?"
Wen Jiayue asked, somewhat confused, "What are you talking about?"
"You seemed rather unhappy after getting into the carriage this morning. What's wrong with you today?"
Wen Jiayue countered, "What's wrong with me today?"
“Something’s not right,” he thought for a moment and asked, “Is the Gui water coming soon?”
Counting the days, it seems to be just a few days away.
Wen Jiayue ignored him; he wouldn't understand what she was thinking.
The grudges from the past life cannot be wiped away in one stroke, and Shen Fuhan is also one of the culprits.
Back at the Marquis's residence, Wen Jiayue hugged her soft and gentle daughter and kissed her a few times, and the scars in her heart finally began to heal a little.
Zhao Zhao is the best medicine to heal her and can also give her endless motivation.
After calming down, Wen Jiayue placed Zhaozhao on the bed, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why is one of the blankets missing from the bed? When did it go missing?
She looked at Shen Fuhan sitting to the side.
Shen Fuhan frankly admitted, "I had someone put it in the trunk last night."
Last night? Wen Jiayue frowned slightly.
But nothing happened last night. Could it be that she misunderstood him?
She pursed her lips and said, "I'm used to sleeping separately, and two blankets are just right."
Shen Fuhan curled his lips: "The other blanket is practically useless. Every time I wake up, you're not in my arms?"
Wen Jiayue was immediately embarrassed and annoyed. How could she have known that she had a bad habit of crawling into his bed at night, and that she couldn't break it!
She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Anyway, I'll have someone bring the blanket over."
Shen Fuhan did not respond.
Take it back if you want, it won't cause any problems anyway.
