"I don't agree!"

As soon as Wen Jiayue entered Chang Le Courtyard, she heard Shen Funian's angry shouts.

She hesitated for a moment and didn't go in, fearing that Shen Funian would come to question her.

After eavesdropping for a while, Wen Jiayue saw that she still wanted to marry that scholar Wang, and even Shen Fufei was persuaded by her to help her. Startled, she quickly turned back.

Shen Fuhan frowned upon hearing this: "Fufei really spoils her too much."

Wen Jiayue suggested, "Why don't we first find out about Wang Xiucai's character? Maybe he and Third Sister are a good match?"

“I already knew that he was just a poor scholar who was good at sweet talk but had no ambition and was just trying to climb the social ladder,” Shen Fuhan said coldly. “I will take care of it.”

A few days later, Wang Xiucai sent a letter to Shen Funian, saying that he didn't want her anymore.

Heartbroken and desperate, Shen Funian secretly went to see him, only to find that he had already left.

After being distraught for over a year, Shen Funian gradually recovered.

Wen Jiayue witnessed everything, which caused great harm to her young mind.

She thought to herself, "So this is what love is like. I never want to fall in love with a man again in my life."

However, it didn't seem right to stay at the Marquis of Jing'an's residence indefinitely, so Wen Jiayue couldn't help but sigh.

She's almost fourteen, which seems like the age when she should be looking for a husband.

But after thinking about it for several days, she still didn't know what to do.

She rarely goes out and rarely sees other men, so how can she choose a husband?

On second thought, she figured her brother, the Crown Prince, would take care of this matter, and trusting his judgment, she put the matter aside and went to play with Shen Funian.

As for Shen Fuhan, he was the top scholar in the imperial examination last year and has been working at the Hanlin Academy for a year now. He leaves early and returns late, so he is rarely seen.

Upon entering Chang Le Courtyard, he bumped into Shen Funian.

“Jiayue, you’ve come at just the right time,” Shen Funian said excitedly. “Come with me to the street.”

Seeing that she had shaken off her usual gloom and returned to her usual lively self, Wen Jiayue naturally agreed happily.

The two returned home laden with purchases, and Shen Funian exclaimed excitedly, "Shopping is the best! I want to go shopping every day from now on, and you'll come with me!"

Wen Jiayue: "...Okay."

Considering she's still heartbroken, I'll agree to her request.

As the two chatted, they entered the mansion, when suddenly someone bowed to them.

"I hope the Third Miss is well, and I hope Miss Wen is well."

Shen Funian was startled: "Who is it?"

The man straightened up, looked at her, and said, "I am the newly arrived physician of the prefecture, and my name is Su Ye."

"So young?" Shen Funian looked him up and down. "Do you know how to treat illnesses?"

"The Crown Prince has entrusted me with full responsibility for the Second Young Master's illness."

“Then my second brother is in trouble. The imperial physician said he could live to be twenty, but if you treat him, he might die tomorrow.”

Su Ye smiled slightly: "I am confident that the Second Young Master will live to be a hundred years old."

Shen Funian was momentarily stunned by his laughter, cleared her throat, and said, "You've got quite the nerve. How old are you?"

"fifteen."

"He's a year younger than me!" Shen Funian exclaimed in surprise. "This won't do! I'm going to find my older brother!"

It was evening, and Shen Fuhan had already finished his shift and gone home.

Wen Jiayue followed Shen Funian into Zheqing Courtyard.

Shen Funian raised his voice and said, "Big brother, are you getting senile? How could you find a callow child to treat Second Brother?"

Wen Jiayue silently curtsied.

After she stood up, Shen Fuhan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Although Su Ye is young, he is a disciple of a divine physician. He can cure Fufei's illness."

"Really?" Shen Funian asked excitedly, "Then I'll worship Su Ye, no, Doctor Su, from now on!"

Shen Fuhan said meaningfully, "However, he is indeed young and may be careless. Third Sister, you are the most careful and meticulous, so why don't you go to Su Ye's place more often to keep an eye on him?"

“Big brother is right,” Shen Funian said excitedly, “I’m going right now!”

She ran off in a flash.

By the time Wen Jiayue came to her senses, she had already disappeared.

Now she was stuck, unsure whether to leave or stay, and stood there bewildered.

She hesitated before speaking, "Brother Prince, shall I go too?"

Shen Fuhan paused for a moment, then said, "Sibai has taken leave today, and I need a page. I wonder if Ayue could help me grind ink?"

Wen Jiayue asked, puzzled, "But when I came in just now, I seemed to see..."

“You’ve mistaken me,” Shen Fuhan said confidently. “Come with me.”

"What the young master says must be right," Wen Jiayue replied and quickly followed.

Upon entering the study, Shen Fuhan left the window half-open.

Wen Jiayue had gotten used to it and understood that his actions were for her own good, so she focused on grinding the ink.

I didn't expect him to say anything, but after writing a few words, he asked, "What did you do today?"

Wen Jiayue then said, "Third Sister is in a good mood today and wants to go to the market, so I'll go with her."

She pouted and said, "My legs are sore from walking, but I'm just doing this to keep you company."

Upon hearing this, Shen Fuhan put down his brush and said, "Sit down and rest, I'll do it."

Wen Jiayue blinked: "It's okay, I still have the strength to grind ink."

“Listen to me,” Shen Fuhan frowned. “If I had known you were tired after a long day, I wouldn’t have let you grind the ink.”

Wen Jiayue had no choice but to put down the inkstone: "Then I'll head back now."

She was afraid that staying there would disturb him, so she suggested that they go back.

Shen Fuhan paused for a moment before replying with an "okay," and watched her figure disappear behind the door before turning his gaze away.

Back at Xiangzhu Courtyard, Wen Jiayue rested well for two days before Shen Funian came to ask her to go out on the street again.

"Third sister, didn't we already go there a couple of days ago?"

She really didn't like going out, and didn't have the same energy as Shen Funian.

Shen Funian pleaded, "I heard that a new jewelry shop has opened in Chang'an City. The jewelry inside is extremely exquisite. Dear sister, let's go take a look."

"Ok."

Wen Jiayue accompanied her with little interest, but she didn't expect the jewelry in this shop to be so unique, including several pieces shaped like crescent moons.

She took a fancy to a crescent-shaped white jade hairpin and reached out to take it, but her other hand was faster.

She looked up in surprise and met the gaze of a gentle, clear-eyed young man who looked somewhat familiar.

The boy was also looking at her, scrutinizing her for a moment before asking in surprise, "Moon?"

Wen Jiayue hesitated before asking, "Are you... Brother Dragonfly?"

This person looked remarkably similar to her childhood playmate, Brother Dragonfly, Gu Tingqing.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me," Gu Tingqing said gently, "You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'!" Shen Funian interrupted their reminiscing in a harsh tone. "Jiayue, I don't want to shop anymore. Let's go back."

Without saying a word, she took Wen Jiayue's hand and left.

This man clearly has ulterior motives. She needs to find her older brother immediately; her sister-in-law has been coveted by a man—something terrible has happened!
