Shen Xinyan never thought that her husband, who had always been indifferent to the affairs of the country, would give her such a "big surprise".

She looked at her husband in silence, who came to take credit proudly, and then slowly turned her eyes to the little boy who was walking into the room. After a long time, she sighed inaudibly.

If she had not experienced the last life, she would have been ecstatic. However, after experiencing life and death, she found that she could no longer find the right way to get along with her son. After all, the pain was real. She could convince herself to forget other people and things, but this was different because that was the son she had devoted her heart and soul to.

To be honest, she was even a little afraid to have more contact with her son. She was afraid that she would inadvertently invest too much in him like she did in her last life, and she was even more afraid that she would be dominated by the hatred from her last life and do something to her young son that she would regret.

You can't be too close, nor too far, so it's better to keep a distance between them and let her continue to fulfill her duties as a mother.

"Madam, are you, are you unhappy?" Seeing her looking at him without saying a word, Wei Junhang was a little unsure of what she was thinking.

"...No, I'm very happy, thank you husband!"

Forget it, forget it. He is her blood relative after all. Is it possible for her to avoid him?

"Mother!" Wei Chenglin didn't know that his mother had gone through a lot of struggle in just a short while. After greeting her, he asked with concern, "Is mother feeling better? Have you asked the doctor to check her?"

Shen Xinyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced at Wei Junhang, who was bowing to her in a flattering manner with an embarrassed look on his face, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"You're well now, why don't you wipe the sweat off your face? The weather is getting cooler today, so you can't just take it easy just because you're in good health." Seeing her son's hair was wet, she pulled him closer out of habit and gently wiped the sweat off his face.

Wei Chenglin felt uncomfortable for a moment, but when he leaned into a soft and fragrant embrace, he couldn't help but relax, and even leaned towards the other person unconsciously.

Shen Xinyan noticed his approach, was startled for a moment, lowered her eyes to hide the complexity in her eyes, and carefully washed his hands. Then she told Chunliu to take their daughter and Xiahe to serve the meal.

Seeing the mother and son cuddling affectionately together, Wei Junhang grinned with joy.

It seems that he made the right move.

At lunch that day, the main courtyard of Funing Courtyard was different from the usual "no talking while eating and no talking while sleeping". From time to time, the sound of men's hearty voices, children's soft and coquettish voices, and women's helpless scoldings could be heard, which made the maids waiting outside the door smile at each other with joy on their brows.

"Mom, I don't want radishes--" Xiao Yingzhi acted coquettishly towards her mother, but seeing that her mother had a stern face and was unmoved, she turned to her father and begged, "Daddy--"

As soon as the soft, sweet cry rang out, the shameless father surrendered: "Okay, okay, no radishes, no radishes."

"Prince!" Shen Xinyan glared at someone who was reaching chopsticks into his daughter's bowl, intending to help her get rid of the annoying radish.

Wei Junhang was glared at by her. He turned his hand stiffly, picked up a piece of chicken and threw it into his son's bowl, saying dryly, "Son, eat more, eat more."

"Well, thank you, father!" A smile flashed in Wei Chenglin's eyes. He looked at his mother with a fierce face, and then at his sister who was pouting and poking the radish with a wronged look. His smile couldn't help but grow a little bit bigger.

"Children can't be picky eaters, otherwise they won't grow tall in the future." The little girl was really too picky about food, and Shen Xinyan had to scare her.

"You're lying! My uncle doesn't eat radishes either, but he's grown very tall!" the little girl retorted confidently.

Shen Xinyan was choked by her and rubbed her forehead with a headache: "If your uncle had eaten radishes back then, he might have grown taller now."

"All I want is to be as tall as my uncle..." the little girl muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Ying'er is a girl and my uncle is a man, so my uncle can grow to be as tall as he is now even if he doesn't eat radishes, but Ying'er can't. You see, my brother also has to eat radishes." Wei Chenglin put down his silver chopsticks and explained to his sister seriously.

The little girl looked into his bowl and saw a big piece of radish inside. She said reluctantly, "Okay, okay, I'll eat it."

Seeing that his sister had eaten the food obediently, Wei Chenglin smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed the little girl's head to praise her.

Shen Xinyan looked at this scene in a daze.

Perhaps it was too long ago, so long ago that she could hardly remember that her two children had ever been so close to each other.

She quickly lowered her eyelids to hide her slightly red eyes, but her mind kept coming to the scene where her son protected Zhou Wanning and scolded her daughter again and again in her previous life.

"Madam, please try this, it tastes quite good." A piece of food was suddenly stuffed into the bowl. She looked up subconsciously and saw Wei Junhang's slightly flattering face.

She pursed her lips, slightly lowered them, and said softly, "Thank you, husband!"

Wei Junhang chuckled a few times and actually started to serve the dishes to her attentively, which made Shen Xinyan not know whether to laugh or cry.

"That's enough, my Lord. You should eat more too."

The couple picked up the radish for each other, and little Yingzhi, who was picking at the bowl on the side, rolled her eyes a few times. She found it interesting and imitated her father, picked up a piece of radish and put it into her mother's bowl, saying in a baby voice, "Mom, you eat it."

Finally, he put another piece of rice into his brother's bowl and said, "Brother, you eat too."

"Daddy, eat too!" Of course the little girl would not forget her loving daddy.

Seeing that the plate of radishes was now empty, the little girl covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Shen Xinyan could see what the little girl was up to. She pinched her nose in amusement and said, "You little rascal, you're the only one with so many bad ideas!"

The little girl giggled triumphantly, which made everyone present laugh.

The family of four had lunch happily, and then went to the garden to digest the food. Seeing that her daughter's head was getting red and her big eyes were almost closed, Shen Xinyan ordered Nanny Sun to carry the little girl back to the house.

"Lin'er, go back to your room and get some sleep so you'll have enough energy to continue your classes in the afternoon." Then, she took the cloak that Chunliu handed over and tied it on her son herself, giving him instructions.

"Yes, mother, father, I'll take my leave." Wei Chenglin nodded, bowed and left.

"This child is so rigid, so boring..." The prince at the side muttered softly, and swallowed back the unfinished words when he received a reproachful look from his wife.

The couple returned to the house. Shen Xinyan hesitated for a moment and was about to explain to him about what happened before, but Wei Junhang interrupted her first: "Well, Madam, it was my fault for what happened this morning. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you so easily."

Shen Xinyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "How is it the prince's fault? It's my fault for not doing things well enough."

"No, no, no, it's my fault. No matter what, I can't lose my temper." Wei Junhang shook his head like a rattle.

Shen Xin looked at him steadily for a moment, then said, "Forget it. It's over now, let's not talk about it anymore! But, you and I are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one. If you have any difficulties, although I am not talented, I am willing to do my best to share your worries."

Wei Junhang opened his mouth in surprise, but his heart was filled with joy.

Madam said that husband and wife are one!

The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became. The more she thought about it, the wider her mouth opened. In the end, her smile was so brilliant that it almost blinded others.

Shen Xinyan was somewhat embarrassed by his smile: "What are you laughing at? Stop laughing!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." The prince readily followed suit. Although he forced himself to suppress the smile on his face, the light in his eyes was shining brightly, and he stared at her face tightly.

"If you continue like this, I'll be angry!" His gaze was so scorching that Shen Xinyan could hardly bear it.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I, I..." When he heard her say she was worried, Wei Junhang became anxious. He suddenly had an idea and changed the subject. "I'm not short of money now. The one hundred taels I borrowed from the public office before were for emergency use."

As expected, Shen Xinyan was bypassed by him. After listening, she just nodded and did not ask who he lent the money to.

Wei Junhang touched his nose a little embarrassedly and explained, "I lent it to the third son of Duke Zheng's Mansion, Yan Henan."

Shen Xinyan was really surprised this time: "Are you friends with Mr. Yan San?"

How could she not know that her husband was actually friends with the future Black-faced King Yan?

"I wouldn't say we have any friendship, we just drank together. I saw he was a little short of money, so I lent him the money." Wei Junhang answered vaguely, but he was a little nervous in his heart, fearing that the lady would ask about the reason why the third master Yan borrowed the money.

"I see." Fortunately, Shen Xinyan didn't intend to pursue the matter. She just nodded slightly, as if she had thought of something, and shook her head and said, "I was also confused. You were able to buy a jade pendant for Ying'er, so you don't seem to be short of money."

Wei Junhang stammered, "Next time, I'll buy you some jewelry from Linglong Pavilion, okay?"

Seeing that his wife still had a half-smile on her face, he quickly added, "I'll buy you a skirt from Nishangxuan. I'll buy you the most beautiful and unique one! I'll also buy you some new snacks from Baiweilou. If you like them, I'll find a way to invite that chef back..."

Hearing this, Shen Xinyan could no longer keep a straight face and glared at him angrily: "Do you think I'm that shallow? I only care about that ornamental skirt. Besides, you are not afraid of blowing your own trumpet. Who is the owner of Baiweilou? You can afford their chef!"

Wei Junhang felt relaxed all over by her scolding. Then he looked at his wife's watery black eyes and slightly pouting lips. She was so adorable no matter how he looked at her.

He scratched the back of his head in a naive manner and said with a hint of pride, "Others can't do anything about it, but I am not one of them. Prince Ning owes me a huge favor. Not to mention just a cook, even if I want his beloved 'General Dragon and Tiger', he has to give it to me."

When Shen Xin heard the words "Prince Ning", he frowned subconsciously.

Don't blame her for not liking Prince Ning. He is a famous playboy in the capital, and taking concubines is as common as eating. No matter which lady, she would not want her husband to be with him.

But that fool was completely clueless, and was talking excitedly about a rare "glorious" thing he had done in his life.

"...Prince Ning was so obsessed that he had no time to be alert. He almost lost his soul to that woman. If I hadn't been alert and noticed the woman's background was strange, I would have been on guard early on. It might have been Prince Ning who was thrown naked on the street the next day. With such a great favor, what do you think of that guy..."

"You and Prince Ning went to such a dirty place to drink?"

The smug voice came to an abrupt end.
