Chapter 394 Daring to Love and Hate
Half an hour later, the Duke of Qi's mansion sent a reply.
Wen Jiayue was a little nervous when she opened the letter, silently repeating that she must refuse.
Unexpectedly, the letter said that the young master was not at home these days and that they would talk about it another day.
Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he wasn't there, which saved Pei Huaijin from seeing the letter.
Wen Ruohuan pouted and said disappointedly, "How unlucky!"
Although she looked unhappy, Wen Jiayue clearly saw a hint of joy flash across her eyes.
It seems she really just wants to use Pei Huaijin as a shield.
But just to be on the safe side, Wen Jiayue tentatively suggested, "Huan'er, how about I introduce you to a few more?"
Wen Ruohuan pouted and said, "With such a gem before me, I can't stand anyone else, unless they have a family background similar to that of the Duke of Qi's heir."
“That’s a bit of a hassle for me,” Wen Jiayue said. “If I find someone suitable, I’ll introduce them to you.”
Wen Ruohuan smiled and agreed.
Just then, Shen Funian and Xiao Suye arrived.
She looked flustered, and Wen Jiayue's heart tightened. She quickly asked, "What happened?"
During the lunch break, Shen Funian and Xiao Suye must have had a chance to be alone together. He must have told Shen Funian about this, right?
But Shen Funian's appearance made her really uneasy.
She looked at Xiao Suye, who nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that he had already said so.
“I didn’t sleep well at noon,” Shen Funian sighed. “The thought of picking up Yao’er in a little while makes me so anxious that I can’t sleep.”
Wen Jiayue: "..."
"Sister-in-law, do you think Yao'er will blame me?"
"No, he won't," Wen Jiayue comforted her. "Yao'er has said before that he really wanted Doctor Su to be his father. Now that his wish has come true, he will definitely be happy. Don't worry."
Shen Funian immediately perked up: "Really? When did he say that?"
“It was quite early,” Wen Jiayue thought for a moment, “some time after my brother-in-law left the manor.”
Shen Funian suppressed her excitement and then changed the subject: "Wait a minute, sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me?"
Wen Jiayue coughed twice and mumbled, "I just remembered that too."
Shen Funian understood somewhat. If it weren't for Granny Wang following her around every day and using Yao'er to keep her in check, her sister-in-law would have told her long ago.
She gritted her teeth and thought, "That old hag and the princess will both die a horrible death!"
And this Wen Ruohuan in front of me is the worst of the worst!
Once they are brought to justice, she will slap each of them a hundred times!
Before Wen Ruohuan could look over, Shen Funian composed himself and said, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, I have to go back."
Although reluctant, Wen Jiayue nodded.
It's still a bit dangerous for Shen Funian to stay here. If she says something wrong, she'll have to find a way to make amends. It's better for her to go back quickly.
Shen Funian turned back every few steps, saying, "Then I'm leaving."
Wen Jiayue smiled gently: "Be careful on the road."
She said reluctantly, "I'm really leaving."
Wen Jiayue nodded and said, "Okay, go pick up Yao'er quickly."
Shen Funian asked again, "You're really gone?"
She was really worried about her sister-in-law. Once she and Xiao Suye left, her sister-in-law would have to face Wen Ruohuan alone.
Wen Jiayue urged, "Let's go, let's go, Yao'er must be getting impatient."
Shen Funian wiped away her tears, then turned around and hurried away.
Watching her retreating figure, Wen Ruohuan asked suspiciously, "Sister, is she being too sentimental today?"
The Shen Funian she knew was not like this at all; she was someone who dared to love and hate, and had never shed a single tear.
Wen Jiayue calmly explained, "This is how married girls go back to their parents' home. You'll understand after you get married."
Wen Ruohuan thought about it and realized that Wen Jiayue had indeed cried on the day she returned to her parents' home.
At the time, she thought the woman was being hypocritical. Why was she crying when she had married so well?
Wen Ruohuan thought smugly that when she married her brother-in-law, she would be too happy to cry when she returned to her parents' home.
Meanwhile, Shen Funian left, sobbing, and boarded a carriage heading to the outskirts of the capital.
She lowered the curtain, and because Granny Wang was outside, she didn't dare to cry too loudly, asking in a low voice, "What if something happens to my sister-in-law?"
Xiao Suye patted her back to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, you are blessed by heaven. Don't worry, and don't mention it again."
Shen Funian thought about it and agreed. She took a deep breath and raised her voice, "You surnamed Xiao, if you dare to betray me, I'll have my older brother chop you up!"
Xiao Suye grasped her hand and asked with a smile, "Where should I chop?"
Shen Funian found the right spot and pinched him hard without any hesitation.
Xiao Suye gasped, and after a long while, she said, "Murder her husband."
Shen Funian glared at him: "I think after what your sister-in-law said, you're not worried at all that Yao'er won't like you, and you even have time to flirt with me."
“I wasn’t worried at all,” Xiao Suye hugged her. “Yao’er has always liked me. With me as his new father, he’ll definitely be happy.”
“What new dad or old dad?” Shen Funian said, pursing her lips. “Yao’er didn’t have a dad before.”
Xiao Suye nodded and said, "That's great, I am his long-lost father."
After a few lighthearted banter, Shen Funian burst into laughter through her tears, jokingly scolding him for being irresponsible.
Upon arriving at the villa on the outskirts of Beijing, the two disembarked from the carriage.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two heard a powerful "Hey-ha" sound, which was Yao'er practicing martial arts.
They stood a short distance away and watched for a while, but none of them had the courage to go forward.
Despite those words, it would be a lie to say I wasn't worried. After all, so much time had passed, what if Yao'er's thoughts had changed?
While hesitating, Xiao Suye took the initiative to say, "I'll go first, and you can follow my lead later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards his own son.
Just then, Shen Chengyao turned around and thrust his sword behind him, only to spot Xiao Suye's figure.
He felt the man looked familiar, sheathed his sword, looked him over suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you?"
Xiao Suye cleared his throat: "I am your father... no, I am Physician Su, Yao'er, do you remember me?"
Upon hearing this address, Shen Chengyao's eyes lit up, and he rushed over.
"Dr. Su! Why are you back!"
“I…” Xiao Suye hesitated, “I came to tell you something.”
"what's up?"
Xiao Suye said in one breath, "I like your mother, so..."
"So you want me to help you?" Shen Chengyao nodded vigorously. "Okay, okay, I'll go tell my mother to marry you!"
Xiao Suye was somewhat bewildered: "Yao'er, you just agreed like that?"
“Yes,” Shen Chengyao smiled so broadly his eyes disappeared, “I’ve always wanted you to be my father!”
Shen Funian, who was eavesdropping not far away, was both amused and speechless. This brat really likes Xiao Suye.
She stepped forward and said seriously, "I heard you. You have to pursue me again for it to count, otherwise I won't marry you."
Xiao Suye put his arm around one of them and laughed, "Alright, we can chase after them slowly after we get back to the manor, until the end of time."
