Chapter 19: So Courageous



There wasn't even a candle lit today. The room was pitch black, and I could only vaguely see a graceful figure sitting beside the bed.

"Husband..." In this pitch-black night, his wife's voice sounded even more delicate than usual, causing a stir in his heart.

Fu Yu's heart was slightly moved, but he quickly restrained himself: "I'm tired tonight, let's go to bed early."

As he spoke, he lay down, not giving the other person time to speak.

Wen Zhu blinked. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

However, considering that he couldn't control his emotions in bed and was completely irrational, Wen Zhu didn't expect to get any information from him at this time, so he had to focus on his daily life.

Anyway, it’s good that he is like this now. I can have a good rest now.

Since Fu Yu was still asleep, Wen Zhu naturally couldn't leave the room, so he had to lie down on the bed.

He appeared calm on the surface, but was actually full of doubts in his heart.

Wen Chan's expression was so obvious when he was eating during the day, why is he so submissive now?

I told you to go to bed early, but Wen Chan just lay down and went to sleep without saying a word?

The bed curtains fell, as if closing off this small world.

The fragrance emanating from the woman next to me drifted over inadvertently.

Normally, cicadas always like to use various expensive perfumes. Although those have strong fragrance, they always have an artificial smell. But now the fragrance around him seems to be closer to the scent of flowers in nature. Although it is difficult to capture, it is unforgettable and much more pleasant than spices.

Fu Yu was no stranger to this scent.

This smell permeated the wedding night and every time they were intimate thereafter.

Perhaps it was because after bathing, the luxurious fragrance on the body disappeared, leaving behind the purest scent of women themselves - no, it was not just that.

Fu Yu suddenly remembered that he had smelled the same scent on another occasion.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the person next to him.

The night was so dark that the woman's face was shrouded in darkness and could not be seen clearly.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"...Madam, isn't she anxious to add an heir to the Marquisate?"

After a moment's silence, the woman replied, "Didn't you say you were tired?"

"My wife's affairs are more important."

As he spoke, Fu Yu felt the woman beside him move a little closer to him.

I curled my lips secretly. As expected, men have no self-control at all once they get into bed!

She turned over and put her arms around the man's neck, ready to take action, but the man just held her tightly in his arms without taking any further action.

After biting her lip, she softly called out "husband". Fu Yu responded when she heard this.

The waist in my arms is as slender as a willow branch, and one hand is enough to hold it all.

After a long silence, Fu Yu suddenly loosened his embrace, stood up and said, "I just started working at the Hanlin Academy recently, and I have a lot of things to do. Just go to sleep peacefully."

Looking at the man getting dressed and preparing to leave, Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment and could only watch him put on his clothes and go out.

What is going on?

After the door of the room was closed, Wen Zhu stood up and walked towards the ear room, where he saw Wen Chan with a particularly ugly expression.

She stared at Wen Zhu, her eyes looking as if she wanted to eat her alive: "I asked you to sleep in the same bed with the prince, and you can't even do such a small thing. What use is there for me to have you!"

The room was silent, but the churning in her stomach was even more uncomfortable than before.

She had already made such good arrangements for Wen Zhu, yet Wen Zhu still let people go!

Wen Zhu seemed unable to bear the pressure. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling as he said, "The prince said that he had just entered the Hanlin Academy and had a lot of things to do..."

"What a waste!" Wen Chan kicked Wen Zhu on the shoulder, and Wen Zhu fell backwards.

Seeing Wen Zhu in such a miserable state, Wen Chan finally let out a sigh of relief and got up and left.

Wen Zhu bit his lip, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Hongyu was still busy cooking medicine. Seeing her come out so quickly, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Didn’t these two people have a lot of trouble in the past?

Meeting Hongyu's gaze, Wen Zhu explained, "The prince said he had something to do in the study, so there's no need to boil the medicine."

Wen Zhu went into the house. Hong Yu packed up her things and went back to sleep.

The next day, Wen Zhu was writing alone in his room again. Hong Yu had nothing to do, so she went over to take a look.

Watching her writing seriously, Hongyu's face showed a bit of surprise and envy: "Miss, before you came to the capital, your adoptive parents must have been very good to you, right?"

Although Wen Zhu came from the countryside, he was not rustic at all. Instead, he could write beautiful calligraphy. It was obvious that he was raised with great care by his family.

Wen Zhu nodded. Of course.

The Chen couple had no children, so they took care of her like their own daughter and devoted a lot of effort to her.

Therefore, no matter what, I must ensure that the Chen couple can live a good life for the rest of their lives.

Wen Zhu lowered his eyes, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

She was writing leisurely in the house, but Wen Chan was busy all day and even sent Qiuyue out to buy a box of burning passion incense.

Wen Chan finally understood that Wen Zhu was completely unreliable, so she had no choice but to resort to this method.

Fortunately, she and Fu Yu were a married couple, so this method was just a little trick in the boudoir.

But Fu Yu didn't come back today. He asked Mo Yi to pass on a message saying that he had an appointment with two colleagues to discuss business and would not return to the backyard at night.

Wen Chan sat blankly in the hall, feeling very depressed: "...Qiuyue, do you think the prince has become cold towards me?"

Seeing her lost look, Qiuyue was stunned for a moment. She had not noticed such a change.

Seeing Qiuyue didn't say anything, Wen Chan sighed and said, "It is said that the relationship is passionate during the newlywed period, but we have just been married for a short time and the prince is so cold. In the future..."

Qiuyue said hurriedly, "Young Madam, don't worry too much. The prince went out today to do some official business, not to avoid you on purpose."

Wen Chan sighed.

Seeing Wen Chan's worried face, Qiuyue suddenly remembered something and leaned forward and whispered, "However, Madam, when I went to see the prince yesterday, I seemed to see him talking to a maid."

Thinking of this, Qiuyue's eyes lit up and she added, "Another time, when I was picking up flower branches, I heard that the prince was looking for someone, but he couldn't find her, and I didn't know which maid it was."

Having said this, Qiuyue's expression became heavy.

Wen Chan frowned and asked, "Did you see what that maid looked like?"

"I was too far away at the time, so I couldn't see her face clearly. But I'm sure she was wearing a maid's clothes, there's no doubt about it."

After hearing this, Wen Chan's face instantly darkened: "I was wondering why the prince became so cold towards me, it turns out he has a new love!"

How brave!
