Chapter 430 Having Another Child

After having his meal, Shen Fuhan went to attend to other matters.

Seeing that he had left, Wen Jiayue looked at Xiao Suye and asked, "Can the Marquis's cough be cured?"

Xiao Suye shook his head: "It's difficult."

It's just a cough, which is already quite good. If it were someone else, searching day and night without rest would have left them either dead or severely injured.

Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts for many years and was in good health. He was already very lucky to have this minor ailment.

Wen Jiayue sighed softly.

Seeing the worry on her face, Shen Funian quickly said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about this. It's not a big deal. But... you won't look down on my brother, will you?"

They're definitely siblings; their thought processes are exactly the same.

Wen Jiayue could only say, "Of course not, don't talk nonsense."

"Then I'm relieved," Shen Funian said with a smile as she stood up. "Xiao Suye and I are planning to go for a stroll in the streets. Would you like to come along, sister-in-law?"

Wen Jiayue shook her head; she wasn't in the mood.

Shen Funian understood, and then teased, "Do you need me to take Zhaozhao with me too, so she won't disturb your reunion with my older brother?"

Wen Jiayue glared at her and said, "Hurry up and go."

Shen Funian waved her hand: "Then I'm leaving!"

Xiao Suye also said, "Sister-in-law, we're leaving."

The two left hand in hand, without asking her about her experiences over the past month.

Wen Jiayue understood that Shen Fuhan must have given prior instructions.

Shen Fuhan followed the guards to a secluded side room.

Pushing open the door, what came into view was a straw mat wrapped around his body, with only Pei Huaijin's head exposed.

His death was gruesome; blood seeped from his forehead, and there were several clear teeth marks on his face, as if he had been scratched by an animal.

He died with his eyes wide open, his expression one of terror.

Shen Fuhan squatted down, lifted the straw mat, and paused for a moment.

The area below the waist was gone, one of his arms was missing, and there was blood all over his body.

The guard explained, "When we found him, he was being mauled by a wolf. The Marquis said he wanted to see him alive or dead, so we worked together to kill the wolf and brought him back to Pei Huaijin."

Shen Fuhan nodded slightly: "Is anyone injured?"

"Rest assured, my lord, there were no casualties."

Shen Fuhan then squatted down and carefully examined him; it was indeed Pei Huaijin.

He calmly instructed, "Keep a close watch on it, and bring it back to the capital soon."

"Yes!"

"Have Pei Huaijin's remaining followers been captured?"

"They've all been caught. Does Your Excellency wish to interrogate them?"

“No need,” Shen Fuhan paused. “I suspect Pei Huaijin is planning a rebellion. Interrogate his remaining associates thoroughly.”

Now that we've found A-Yue, it's time to put other things on the agenda.

After leaving the room, Shen Fuhan washed his hands before going to find Wen Jiayue.

Before he even entered the house, he could hear cheerful laughter coming from inside.

"Mommy, Mommy, kisses!"

"Alright, alright, kiss here or here... Zhaozhao, not here, this is, this is your mouth, Mother can't kiss it."

Shen Fuhan chuckled and pushed the door open to go inside.

Zhao Zhao kept pointing to her lips, not quite understanding why she couldn't kiss there.

Seeing that the culprit had arrived, Wen Jiayue said in embarrassment and anger, "It's all your fault! Zhaozhao copied it!"

Shen Fuhan touched his nose: "I didn't kiss her, it's Zhaozhao who's clever."

He looked at his daughter and explained earnestly, "Neither Daddy nor Mommy can kiss here. Zhaozhao, remember, no one can touch this."

Zhao Zhao looked at her parents with some confusion, but she clearly remembered that her parents had almost kissed just now.

Shen Fuhan had no choice but to say, "Only your husband can kiss you. Father and Mother are husband and wife, so Father and Mother can kiss you too."

Zhao Zhao listened in a daze, only understanding half of what was being said.

Mother calls Father "husband," so they are husband and wife?

She felt she understood, looked at her mother, moved her little mouth a few times, and then called out indistinctly, "Husband."

Now that she and her mother are husband and wife, can they kiss?

Wen Jiayue chuckled: "Silly Zhao Zhao."

She kissed her daughter's cheek: "Mother can only kiss here, and so can Father."

Zhao Zhao was a little depressed and hugged her mother tightly without saying a word.

Shen Fuhan called over the wet nurse, preparing to have her take Zhaozhao away.

Zhao Zhao, however, refused. She hugged her mother even tighter, her little mouth pouting, and her eyes filled with tears, ready to burst into tears at any moment.

Wen Jiayue didn't want to be separated from Zhaozhao either, so she said, "If Zhaozhao can't hear what you want to say, then cover her ears."

Shen Fuhan said in a low voice, "No need to cover your ears, just cover your eyes."

He stared at her lips, and Wen Jiayue realized what he was up to. She nervously licked her lips.

It was just a subconscious action, but she clearly noticed that Shen Fuhan's gaze had become even more intense.

Wen Jiayue said irritably, "You're not fully recovered yet, so don't think about such things."

He had lost a lot of weight and looked like a sickly young master; he needed to take good care of his health.

“I’m all better now,” Shen Fuhan explained. “I just look weak.”

Wen Jiayue didn't believe it and waited for Shen Funian and Xiao Suye to return so she could ask him to take her pulse.

Xiao Suye said, "Big brother's health has indeed recovered. He just needs to take good care of himself."

Wen Jiayue asked worriedly, "Since we need to nourish our bodies, we can't travel too far. Does that mean we'll have to stay here for a while?"

Shen Funian said excitedly, "What's wrong with that? We can celebrate the New Year together. It's just that our fourth brother is missing. But it doesn't matter whether he's here or not. Maybe he'll even feel sad seeing us all together. He's all alone. He can go by himself!"

Wen Jiayue looked at Shen Fuhan.

He repeated his previous statement: "I'll do whatever you say."

Wen Jiayue had no choice but to say, "How about returning to the capital in two days?"

The matter of the eldest princess has not yet been resolved, and it remains a heavy weight on her mind, causing her great anxiety.

Shen Fuhan should rest for two days before setting off again; he should feel more energetic then.

None of the three objected, and they each returned to their rooms.

Zhao Zhao was already asleep, so Shen Fuhan had the wet nurse take her away.

This was the first time they were alone together since they parted ways, and Wen Jiayue was inexplicably a little nervous.

But when Shen Fuhan held her in his arms, she felt at ease and raised her head to kiss his chin.

Shen Fuhan lowered his head slightly and gently bit her lips.

For a moment, both of them were a little impatient, and when they came to their senses, their clothes were scattered everywhere.

Shen Fuhan suddenly stopped moving. Wen Jiayue frowned and urged, "Husband..."

“Ah Yue, no,” Shen Fuhan’s breathing trembled, “I haven’t drunk the contraceptive soup this month. After I drink it…”

“Husband,” Wen Jiayue interrupted him, “you don’t need to drink it anymore.”

Shen Fuhan was slightly taken aback.

Wen Jiayue cupped his face in her hands and said earnestly, "Let's have another child."
