Chapter 380 Jue Zi San
Wen Jiayue glanced at the wine in Wen Ruohuan's hand and instinctively wanted to refuse.
Although Shen Fuhan had already switched the Bone-Corroding Powder, Wen Ruohuan didn't dare to act on her own without Li Zhilan's orders.
But she was really afraid that Wen Ruohuan might add something else to the wine for a moment of pleasure.
Just as she was about to politely refuse, she heard Shen Funian speak lazily with his eyes closed.
"Sister-in-law, what's that barking around here? Is there a dog?"
Wen Jiayue almost burst out laughing, and quickly pursed her lips, pretending to be busy adjusting her hairpin.
Wen Ruohuan said angrily, "You! You've really gone too far!"
Once she becomes her brother-in-law's woman, the first thing she will do is ensure that Shen Funian can never enter the gates of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion again!
Wen Jiayue also composed herself and introduced, "It's my younger sister Huan'er who's here."
Shen Funian then opened her eyes and said in surprise, "Oh, it's Huan'er. I'm so sorry, I must have heard a dog barking in my dream."
Wen Ruohuan forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I didn't take it seriously."
"Didn't you say you had wine just now?" Shen Funian held out her hand. "Give it to me, I want to drink."
Wen Ruohuan was stunned for a moment, and hesitated. Who knew when her brother-in-law would leave the capital? So, to be on the safe side, she had a sudden idea and deliberately added a fertility-inhibiting agent to the wine.
However, why was she hesitating? It didn't matter if Shen Funian drank it, but it would be best if Wen Jiayue could also have a few sips.
With her mind racing, Wen Ruohuan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go find some wine glasses right away, so you and my sister can both have a taste."
She quickly ran off excitedly, and Wen Jiayue frowned, increasingly feeling that Wen Ruohuan had ill intentions.
She wanted to remind Shen Funian not to drink, but after glancing at Granny Wang standing to the side, she said nothing.
In front of Granny Wang, she could not show any dissatisfaction with Wen Ruohuan. She had to trust this younger sister wholeheartedly so that she could poison her in the future.
Now we can only hope that Shen Funian is also harboring ill intentions, after all, the two of them have always been outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds.
If Shen Funian really wanted to drink, she would have to improvise.
Before long, Wen Ruohuan brought over a pair of wine cups, filled them to the brim, and handed them over.
Shen Funian reached out to catch it, but perhaps the movement was too large, and her fingers hit the wine cup, causing it to fall and spill water all over the floor.
Before Wen Ruohuan could even scream, Shen Funian exclaimed "Ouch!"
She shook her hand as she spoke, "It hurts so much! Huan'er, how come you can't even hold a cup of wine properly? Are you here to ruin my joyous occasion?"
"I..." Wen Ruohuan was speechless, but gritted her teeth and said, "I'll pour you another cup."
Shen Funian waved her hand: "Never mind, I won't drink it."
Wen Ruohuan's target wasn't her either. Seeing that she wasn't going to drink, she didn't force her and looked at Wen Jiayue instead.
Before she could even speak, Shen Funian suddenly said anxiously, "Oh, right, sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that I have a jade bracelet with you. Please go and get it for me."
Wen Jiayue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
She realized this was Shen Funian's excuse, so she naturally didn't call her out on it and turned to leave.
Seeing her leave, Wen Ruohuan was about to chase after her.
"Sister, why don't you try a sip of the wine first!"
Shen Funian pulled her back and said with a smile, "Huan'er, I just heard you say that this is wine you brewed yourself?"
“Yes,” Wen Ruohuan said dejectedly, “It’s a pity my sister is gone. I’ll let her try it when she comes back.”
Shen Funian asked, "Did you drink it yourself?"
What does this mean?
Wen Ruohuan immediately became alert and laughed, "Of course I've had some. The osmanthus fragrance is exceptionally strong, and it doesn't taste like wine at all."
“It’s brewed so well,” Shen Fu said. “Why don’t you give me this bottle of wine? My husband and I will have a drink with it tonight.”
Wen Ruohuan didn't want to give it to her, but she couldn't make it too obvious.
So he said, "Then I have to ask my sister's opinion. I brewed this especially for her. What if she likes it after drinking it? You can't just take what belongs to someone else, can you?"
Shen Funian shrugged: "Sure."
Anyway, her sister-in-law definitely wouldn't drink it. Such good wine, she had to find an opportunity to let Wen Ruohuan taste it herself.
Meanwhile, Wen Jiayue returned to the main courtyard and casually picked up a jade bracelet from the dressing table.
She didn't return to Chang Le Courtyard immediately. Who knew if Wen Ruohuan might have some other bad ideas? It would be better to stay here and have some peace and quiet.
I had just sat down and taken a sip of tea when I saw Sibai walking over quickly.
Wen Jiayue quickly stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Today is Shen Funian's big day, and nothing can go wrong.
Sibo bowed and said, "Reporting to Madam, the Marquis asked me to inform you that the Princess has arrived and he requests that you come with him to entertain her."
Wen Jiayue was slightly taken aback. Why was Li Zhilan here?
In her past life, apart from the day her daughter turned three, which was also the day she and Zhaozhao died, Li Zhilan had never set foot in the Jing'an Marquis's residence.
Wen Jiayue felt a sudden, inexplicable fear. Had the poisoning plot been brought forward? Was she here to take her life?
No, it can't be. Shen Fuhan is still here. Li Zhilan wouldn't dare.
Moreover, since Sibo said he would "go together," Shen Fuhan must be there, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Wen Jiayue looked towards the bed.
It was here that she ended her own life and also personally killed Li Zhilan.
If she could do it in her past life, she can do it in this one too.
Wen Jiayue let out a soft breath and nodded, saying, "Lead the way."
Wen Jiayue casually handed the jade bracelet to a maid and asked her to deliver it to Chang Le Courtyard.
As she followed Sibo, she asked, "When did the Princess arrive?"
"As soon as I arrived, the Marquis sent me to Chang Le Courtyard to find you, Madam," Si Bai said. "I didn't expect you to have returned to the main courtyard, so I rushed over here."
It seemed that Si Bai didn't know Li Zhilan's purpose either, so Wen Jiayue didn't ask any further questions.
Before long, they arrived at the main hall, where Wen Jiayue immediately spotted Li Zhilan in his flamboyant red dress.
Her gaze shifted, and she saw Shen Fuhan sitting to the side with a stern face. When he saw her come in, he nodded almost imperceptibly.
Wen Jiayue felt somewhat relieved and curtsied.
"Please sit down, Madam Shen."
Li Zhilan put down her teacup and said slowly, "You should be busy with Miss Shen's wedding, but instead you're here keeping me company. It's a real sin. This is why I don't like going out; I don't want to see people running around doing chores."
Wen Jiayue spoke politely and respectfully: "It is an honor for the Marquis of Jing'an's residence to have the Princess grace us with her presence."
Li Zhilan glanced at her and then looked at Shen Fuhan.
"I've only come here to see if the marriage I personally bestowed is appropriate. I hope I'm not disturbing Lord Shen?"
“I won’t disturb you,” Shen Fuhan said, lowering his eyes. “The wedding procession will be here soon. Please, Princess, come and join the festivities.”
Li Zhilan said, "I would like to visit Miss Shen and Madam Shen first. Would you mind accompanying me?"
