Chapter 349 My brother admires you
Wen Jiayue went to bed early last night and woke up relatively early the next day.
She rang the bell to summon Ruyi, and then dressed up.
Ruyi's attention kept falling on the bedding, and she asked cautiously, "Madam, did the Marquis mention last night that the bedding was uncomfortable? Should I change it?"
Wen Jiayue comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, everything is alright now."
Who knows what Shen Fuhan was thinking last night? Ruyi is truly an innocent victim.
Seeing that the lady said this, Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, madam."
Dressed neatly, Wen Jiayue stepped out of her bedroom and looked at the snow-covered courtyard, where servants were sweeping snow.
She instructed, "Zhaozhao likes snow, remember to leave a small patch of snow, I'll take her to play in it later."
After breakfast, Wen Jiayue took Zhaozhao to play in the snow in the courtyard.
She still kept up her hobby from last year; as soon as her feet touched the ground, she couldn't wait to start stomping in the snow.
Before long, her joyful shouts echoed through the courtyard.
Wen Jiayue watched with great interest, yet also with a sense of helplessness.
"Zhaozhao, slow down, don't fall."
"Mother!"
Not long after, Zhao Zhao brought over a small snowball that she had made herself.
Seeing that her little face was flushed from playing, Wen Jiayue decided to let her be quiet for a moment.
She asked, "What is Zhao Zhao holding in her hand?"
Zhao Zhao thought for a moment, then answered in her childish voice, "Ball!"
Wen Jiayue continued to ask, "What ball?"
Zhao Zhao couldn't pronounce the word "snow," so Wen Jiayue patiently taught her, not even noticing someone coming into the courtyard.
Until that person spoke up: "Sister-in-law, it's so cold, how can you still have the leisure to appreciate the snow?"
Wen Jiayue looked over and smiled, "What brings you here, Fourth Brother?"
Worried that he would bring up Xie Yan again, she stood up and said, "Let's go to the side hall to talk."
Shen Fuyou did not object; asking about such private matters should indeed be done in secrecy.
Wen Jiayue then instructed the wet nurse to keep a close eye on Zhaozhao before going to the side hall.
The two sat facing each other, watching Zhao Zhao play in the snow while drinking tea.
Shen Fuyou started the conversation: "Zhaozhao is one year and three months old, right?"
Wen Jiayue nodded and said, "Fourth Brother has a really good memory."
“I still remember my older brother’s age,” Shen Fuyou chuckled, “He was twenty-five years and seven months old.”
Wen Jiayue asked in surprise, "Why do you need to remember his age?"
“I just suddenly remembered,” Shen Fuyou flattered. “Although my older brother is a bit older, he looks like he’s only in his early twenties.”
Wen Jiayue smiled but didn't reply. Instead, she asked, "Fourth brother, is there something you need today?"
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about her older brother, Shen Fuyou suddenly felt a bit awkward.
However, he was not discouraged and explained, "The roads were slippery today, so I didn't go out. I thought I'd come and talk to my sister-in-law. I hope she won't be unwelcome to me?"
"Of course, you're welcome."
Wen Jiayue hadn't expected that he was just here to have some fun, but she couldn't think of any topics to talk about, so she could only wait for him to take the initiative.
“That’s fine then,” Shen Fuyou said mysteriously. “Sister-in-law, I suddenly have a question.”
"what is the problem?"
"You and my older brother are seven years apart. Don't you think he's too old?"
Wen Jiayue was taken aback. Shen Fuhan had asked this question before, so why was Shen Fuyou asking it now?
However, since it was just casual conversation and the other person was Shen Fuyou, she spoke without any reservations: "Of course not, I used to think I was too young."
Shen Fuyou asked, puzzled, "Why?"
“Because…” Wen Jiayue sighed, “Never mind, you wouldn’t understand, and I won’t think that way anymore.”
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Shen Fuyou didn't press her for details. She simply made a mental note of it and then sighed deeply.
“Sister-in-law, how can you stop halfway through a sentence? Have you been influenced by my older brother? He’s such a quiet person, and you’re almost the same now.”
Wen Jiayue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then gave a soft hum. She didn't want to end up like Shen Fuhan.
Seeing her reaction, Shen Fuyou muttered to himself, "Oh no, my brother's road to winning her back is long and arduous."
“By the way, sister-in-law, there’s something else I’m curious about,” Shen Fuyou said, perking up. “How do you and my older brother usually communicate?”
Wen Jiayue asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"
She was a little puzzled; why was Shen Fuyou asking so many questions?
Seeing her suspicion, Shen Fuyou coughed lightly and made up a story: "Yan'er and I have been arguing recently. When I talk to her, she ignores me completely, so I came to ask you for advice, sister-in-law."
He probed, "If your older brother makes you angry, how would you like him to appease you?"
Wen Jiayue said, "My personality is different from Miss Yan'er's, so we can't compare us. But I can tell you what to do about Miss Yan'er's personality."
Shen Fuyou smiled and nodded on the surface, pretending to suddenly understand, but inwardly he was extremely anxious.
After finally listening, Shen Fuyou immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, does my elder brother usually make you angry?"
Wen Jiayue took a sip of tea before saying, "Yes."
Are you going to sulk or try to communicate with him?
"Communication?" Wen Jiayue smiled. "Let's forget about it. Your older brother doesn't seem like the type to listen to advice."
“How can it not be like that?” Shen Fuyou said earnestly, “As long as you tell him, he will definitely change.”
He really couldn't understand these two people. One liked the other but didn't say it, and the other misunderstood the other too much.
If they weren't his brother and sister-in-law, he would have advised them to divorce long ago.
"How do you know he'll listen?" Wen Jiayue asked curiously. "Did your older brother listen to you?"
Shen Fuyou scratched his head: "No, not really... but my older brother will definitely listen to you."
Wen Jiayue was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I didn't know I had such an ability."
She took Shen Fuyou's words as a joke and advised him, "Fourth brother, don't say things like that anymore."
Shen Fuyou scratched his head and cheek: "Why don't you believe me?"
Wen Jiayue asked in surprise, "Why should I believe it?"
She did see the change in Shen Fuhan, but she didn't know why. The only thing she was sure of was that she hadn't made him change.
There are some things that Shen Fuhan can only figure out herself, and what others say is useless, so why should she waste her breath?
Shen Fuyou slumped back in the armchair and muttered, "You two are really hopeless."
However, he has one trump card that can help them.
The eldest brother is too embarrassed to speak, right? Fine, then let the fourth brother, who worries so much about his brother and sister-in-law, speak!
Thinking of this, Shen Fuyou straightened up and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."
Wen Jiayue nodded: "Go ahead and say it."
Shen Fuyou took a deep breath and said in one go, "Actually, my older brother has always admired you. Last night he even asked me for perfume to make himself look younger and more worthy of you. But for some reason, he just didn't dare to say it. So, sister-in-law, do you like him? You two should just be together and stop torturing me, okay?"
