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

Chapter 433 Listen to the corner

As evening approached, the carriage stopped.

Wen Jiayue was half asleep when she woke up and realized it was almost dark.

"Husband, why didn't you wake me up?" Wen Jiayue hurriedly straightened her clothes.

"Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't disturb you," Shen Fuhan said. "Originally, I was going to carry you out of the car directly."

Wen Jiayue glared at him, quickly tidied herself up, and stepped off the carriage.

Shen Funian was already standing on the steps of the inn. Upon seeing her, he asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, why are you so slow? What were you and my brother doing in the carriage..."

Upon seeing Shen Fuhan following behind Wen Jiayue, carrying Zhaozhao, she quickly shut her mouth.

Wen Jiayue, feigning superiority, asked, "Why did Niannian stop talking?"

“I’m so hungry I’m delirious, and I suddenly don’t know what to say,” Shen Funian said, taking her arm. “Let’s go, let’s go get some food.”

Wen Jiayue gave a soft snort: "You're just bullying me."

“It’s not bullying,” Shen Funian said with a grin. “I love my sister-in-law to the core.”

The two walked hand in hand affectionately up to the second floor.

During the meal, Shen Fuhan shared her idea of ​​spending the New Year together on the road.

"Zhao Zhao is still young, so we can't rush the journey. According to the schedule, we'll probably spend New Year's Eve in Jinzhou. We'll find a reason to invite Fourth Brother, Yao'er, and Miss Xie over so we can celebrate together. What do you think?"

Shen Funian was the first to agree: "I agree! As long as we don't spend New Year's Eve with Grandma, counting stars in the middle of nowhere is fine too!"

Xiao Suyue naturally listened to her, but after a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Miss Xie is... the orphan of the Xie family case in Jinzhou?"

Shen Fuhan nodded slightly.

Shen Funian was a little puzzled. Why was they calling for Miss Xie when they were all reunited as a family?

But she quickly realized what was going on and said, "I understand now. Miss Xie is all alone while everyone else is having a family reunion. She must be heartbroken. Brother wants Miss Xie to spend New Year's Eve with us and have some fun, right?"

Shen Fuhan raised his eyebrows slightly, about to explain the relationship between his fourth brother and Miss Xie, when Wen Jiayue tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to say anything.

She smiled and said, "That's right, exactly."

There's no point in telling Shen Funian directly; she'd rather she discover it herself.

Shen Funian, completely oblivious to anything amiss, sighed, "Big brother is quite kind-hearted... but what if he gets overwhelmed with grief when he thinks of his own family?"

Wen Jiayue hinted, "From now on, we will be her family."

Upon hearing this, Shen Funian agreed wholeheartedly: "That makes sense. Why not let her recognize the elder brother as her sworn brother? She can live in the Marquis's mansion in the future. We can also find her a good marriage. It would be a good thing."

The more she thought about it, the more sense it made: "Doesn't my brother feel guilty towards the Xie family? This is a good opportunity to make amends."

Wen Jiayue almost couldn't help but laugh, and said while holding back her laughter, "Okay, you can ask her if she's willing then."

Before Miss Xie could answer, Fourth Brother jumped up in protest.

“Okay, I’ll ask later,” Shen Funian nudged Xiao Suye’s arm, “Remember to remind me then.”

Xiao Suye had already noticed something amiss, but he still cooperated and said, "I understand."

After their meal, Xiao Suye and Shen Funian returned to their guest room next door.

Wen Jiayue and Shen Fuhan washed and dressed, then wiped Zhaozhao's face and feet together, and the family of three lay down.

Zhao Zhao slept the whole way in the carriage, and was in a very good mood. She would climb to the foot of the bed one moment and lie on the pillow the next, never stopping for a moment.

Wen Jiayue said helplessly, "We can't let Zhaozhao sleep tomorrow."

She didn't care, but Shen Fuhan needed to rest and recuperate. Zhao Zhao was making a fuss, which meant Shen Fuhan wasn't getting enough rest either.

“It’s okay, I’m not sleepy,” Shen Fuhan said, pulling Zhao Zhao, who was lying on the side of the bed, back to her. “Let her play.”

He wore an indulgent smile, and Wen Jiayue muttered softly, "Slave to his daughter."

Shen Fuhan nodded shamelessly: "That's true."

Wen Jiayue was speechless. Since he wasn't sleepy, he would play with his daughter; she wanted to sleep.

Just as I closed my eyes, I suddenly heard a short, abrupt, and abruptly stopped moan.

Wen Jiayue suspected she had misheard and ignored it.

A moment later, the voice appeared again, sounding like sobbing.

Wen Jiayue looked at Shen Fuhan and whispered, "It can't be..."

it is more than words.

Shen Fuhan coughed lightly and looked at Zhaozhao.

"Zhaozhao, you should go to sleep."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another voice rang out, much louder than the first.

This time, Zhao Zhao heard it too, and curiously pricked up her ears, looking at the wall on the right.

Separated by a wall were Shen Funian and Xiao Suye.

Wen Jiayue felt a little embarrassed and coaxed her, "Zhaozhao, how about Mommy sings you a lullaby?"

Before Zhao Zhao could respond, Shen Fuhan immediately said, "Okay."

Wen Jiayue glared at him and said, "What's so good about it? You're not allowed to listen."

Shen Fuhan raised an eyebrow and said, "I insist on listening."

Their conversation failed to distract Zhao Zhao, and before they could notice, she had already pressed her face against the wall.

With each soft moan, she giggled, as if she had found something amusing.

Wen Jiayue said with a hint of helplessness, "She's so young and she's already learned to eavesdrop."

"Don't worry about it, Zhaozhao will forget about it tomorrow," Shen Fuhan advised her. "You can tell your third sister then, and they'll calm down."

Wen Jiayue asked in confusion, "Why don't you go and tell your third sister's husband?"

She couldn't bring herself to say it; she'd probably blush before she even started, just like when she showed the fire-avoidance diagram to Shen Funian. She'd probably get teased about it again.

Shen Fuhan hesitated and said, "I don't know how to start."

“Me too,” Wen Jiayue sighed, clinging to a sliver of hope, “maybe they’ll quiet down by tomorrow night.”

Unexpectedly, for three nights in a row, the three of them had to listen to a short, intermittent piece of music to fall asleep each time.

Wen Jiayue gazed at the top of the tent and murmured, "She has such great energy."

During the day, Shen Funian acted as if nothing was wrong, doing everything with great enthusiasm and never showing signs of fatigue.

As for Xiao Suye, she was too embarrassed to look at him and had been avoiding him for the past few days.

Shen Fuhan remained silent for a moment, but couldn't help saying, "I can too, but you won't allow it."

Wen Jiayue's face flushed: "Why are you saying all this? Go to sleep!"

"Ah Yue, I want to discuss something with you," Shen Fuhan said after a moment's thought. "After we return to the manor, how about we change it to once every two days?"

Wen Jiayue hesitated, "W-why?"

"So that Mu Mu can arrive as soon as possible."

Wen Jiayue was completely confused: "What Mumu?"

“Didn’t you want another child? I’ve already chosen a name,” Shen Fuhan said, enunciating each word clearly, “Mu Mu, the Mu of admiration, Shen Yu Mu.”

Wen Jiayue read it aloud to herself, then asked curiously, "Why did you choose this name?"

“Zhao Zhao Mu Mu,” Shen Fuhan hugged her tightly, “I want to be with you day and night.”
