Chapter 296 Helping her sleep
Upon entering the bedroom, a strong smell of medicine immediately hits you.
Wen Jiayue held her breath and took a while to adjust before walking forward with Shen Fuhan.
She fell ill again, and the old lady looked even more haggard, with a sallow complexion, a withered appearance, and wrinkles on her face that seemed to fall to the ground.
Shen Fuhan asked with concern, "Grandmother, how are you feeling now?"
"This is terrible!" The old lady stopped smiling when she saw her favorite grandson and said angrily, "When I woke up, none of you were there. Do you even care about this old woman like me?!"
She had talked a bit too much, and coughed a few times. Zhao Mama, who was standing next to her, quickly patted her on the back.
"Madam, you've just woken up, please take it easy."
Shen Fuhan said calmly, "Grandmother is recuperating. Having others around will only disturb you. Besides, no matter how carefully we serve you, it is not as proper as the maids and servants who have served you for a long time."
The old lady calmed down, but she was still furious.
"You are all utterly unfilial!" She glanced around. "Where is Fuyou? He hasn't arrived yet?"
Shen Fuhan said calmly, "I have already sent someone to urge them."
The old lady gave a heavy snort and looked at Wen Jiayue.
"I'm hungry, granddaughter-in-law, come and help me put on my shoes."
Wen Jiayue was taken aback; the tone of the command was so matter-of-fact.
She stood still, and Shen Fuhan said, "Grandmother, there are maids here."
Immediately, a quick-witted maid stepped forward and knelt before the bed to serve her.
The old lady glared at her and kicked her away.
"I'm calling her my granddaughter-in-law, who do you think you are?!"
Although she was still ill, the kick was quite powerful, hitting her right in the chest. The maid immediately burst into tears and knelt down beside him, not daring to say a word.
Shen Fuhan frowned as she watched, and told another maid to take her away to rest.
Then she said, "Grandmother, please take good care of yourself. We'll head back now."
The old lady paused for a moment, then saw the younger generation turn around without any hesitation.
"Stop!" she shouted repeatedly. "Fuhan, I am your grandmother! How can you disrespect your elders!"
“As a junior, I will naturally respect the kindness of my elders,” Shen Fuhan said coldly. “Grandmother, I advise you to take good care of your health and not cause trouble for no reason.”
After saying that, he stepped out the door first, ignoring the voices of pleas for him to stay that came from behind.
He originally came with a sense of guilt, after all, he had made his grandmother sick, and he should make amends.
But his grandmother's behavior washed away the last trace of guilt he felt.
If this happens again, he should consider sending his grandmother to the estate or back to her hometown to recuperate.
As Shen Fuhan strode out of Ninghui Hall, he bumped into Shen Fuyou, who was walking unsteadily towards him.
Upon seeing his elder brother, Shen Fuyou was taken aback and rushed over in a hurry.
To achieve realism, he was even panting, speaking with a heavy breath.
"Big brother, how is Grandmother...?"
Shen Fuhan did not expose him, and said calmly, "Very good, full of energy, not at all like someone who has just recovered from a serious illness."
Shen Fuyou clicked his tongue and blurted out, "That's a real shame... no, I mean... uh..."
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a word that sounded similar to "regret," so he simply said, "Fine, I admit I don't like Grandmother. Brother, punish me if you want, I'll accept it."
Shen Fuhan paused for a moment, then asked, "What did you just say?"
“I said you wanted to punish me… huh?” He realized what he meant and chuckled, “I didn’t say anything.”
Shen Fuhan nodded and said, "Go back to sleep, there's no need to go over there."
"Really? Then I'm leaving?" Shen Fuyou turned back every few steps. "Really leaving?"
Seeing that his older brother didn't stop him, he hummed a song and ran away, much happier than when he came.
Shen Fuhan watched his retreating figure and sighed softly.
None of her three grandchildren like their grandmother. It's truly astonishing how a grandmother can be so devoted...
He stopped thinking about it and prepared to go back with Wen Jiayue.
Turning around, she saw Shen Funian smiling and asking, "Yao'er and I are late because Yao'er couldn't get up. Why are you and my older brother so late too?"
Shen Fuhan: "..."
He said coldly, "Shen Funian."
Shen Funian was startled. Why was her older brother calling her by her full name?
“Your sister-in-law is first and foremost your sister-in-law, and only then your close friend. If you speak rudely to her again, I will be the one to teach you a lesson.”
Shen Funian was as honest as a quail, obediently admitting his mistake: "Big brother, I won't do it again."
Shen Fuhan snorted and left with Wen Jiayue.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Shen Funian quietly raised her head to look at their retreating figures.
Although her older brother had just given her a stern lecture, she would definitely appreciate him standing up for her.
Tell me, which woman wouldn't like that?
She was deceived by Wang Xiucai because she sneaked out of the mansion and was robbed of her silver in the street.
Scholar Wang stepped forward and helped her get her silver back, without uttering a single curse word, but he thoroughly humiliated the thief.
At that moment, she thought to herself, "The story of the rich young lady and the refined scholar from the storybooks has actually happened to me."
Although her ending wasn't good, her older brother and sister-in-law will definitely make it!
That's enough, it's worth it for her to play the villain for her brother and sister-in-law.
Big brother is really getting more and more insightful; he's a quick learner!
Shen Fuhan and Wen Jiayue quickly returned to the main courtyard, and only after they were alone did he speak.
“If Third Sister says such things again, you should show the demeanor of an elder sister-in-law.”
Wen Jiayue pursed her lips and said, "I'll just ignore her. She always gets more and more excited as she talks. I'll just let it go in one ear and out the other."
Shen Fuhan shook his head, disagreeing.
But it was already late at night, and he figured he could teach her later, so he said, "Let's go to sleep first."
Lying on the bed, with Zhao Zhao not around, Shen Fuhan embraced her tightly without any barriers.
Just before leaving the house, Wen Jiayue had the wet nurse take Zhaozhao away.
If I bring her back now, I'm afraid my daughter won't sleep well.
She didn't say anything, just didn't do anything else, and let him hug her.
However, this position was not very comfortable. She raised her head, wanting to tell Shen Fuhan to let go of her hand first, but unexpectedly he happened to be looking down.
Their lips touched, and they both paused for a moment, startled.
Before she could react, Shen Fuhan deepened the kiss.
Wen Jiayue pushed him away with all her might, panting, and said, "My lord, that's not what I meant."
Shen Fuhan remained completely calm and countered, "Then what do you mean? Are you perhaps thanking me?"
He had indeed helped her a lot today, so Wen Jiayue went along with him and said, "Yes, thank you, Lord Marquis. Let's go to sleep first."
“Since I’ve helped you so many times, I’ll do you a favor to the end,” Shen Fuhan gently pecked her lips, “and help you sleep.”
