Yan Jiuchao’s eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes.
Yu Wan thought to herself that the heavens were really unfair. Why did they give a man such a face? Waking up early and looking disheveled and oily… She could not see anything like this from him. He was really an immortal.
Yu Wan pursed her lips and leaned against him. She whispered, “Yan Jiuchao, why do you keep holding my hand? Do you especially like me and can’t extricate yourself from me?”
Yan Jiuchao glanced at her coldly and did not say anything. Instead, he pulled open the blanket.
Yu Wan took a closer look. Why were his buttons unbuttoned? Uh… It couldn’t be her who unbuttoned it… right?
Yu Wan coughed lightly and said, “Then… then did I do anything else to you?”
Yan Jiuchao said coldly, “What do you think!” She was not obedient even when she was asleep. One hand kept touching his body.
Yu Wan blushed. This-this was quite awkward, but she was asleep. She didn’t do it on purpose, right? She pulled her hand back, but she still could not move it.
“I won’t mess around,” she said.
Yan Jiuchao let go skeptically.
Yu Wan sat up and buttoned up the buttons she had unbuttoned. He had lost some weight during his illness, but his figure had not lost much. His muscles were still well-defined, firm, and full.
He must have exercised secretly. Otherwise, his figure wouldn’t be so good,?Yu Wan thought.
After buttoning up his pajamas, Yu Wan went to fasten his belt. Just as she did so, his large palm came over. “I’ll do it myself.”
“Oh.” Yu Wan raised her eyebrows and glanced at it meaningfully. “Actually, I saw everything.”
Yan Jiuchao really wanted to fall down!
Yu Wan whispered mischievously into his ear, “You wake up so early every day. Are you afraid that I’ll see this?”
Yan Jiuchao’s ears turned even redder.
Yu Wan thought to herself that this was normal. Her husband actually felt shy because of this. For some reason, she was a little happy.
“Yan Jiuchao, have you never touched a woman before?” She asked.
“Are you gloating?” Yan Jiuchao looked at her coldly.
“You really never touched one before.” Yu Wan smiled. How nice. This man was hers, inside and out.
Yan Jiuchao tied his belt and sat up with his hands.
Yu Wan’s fingertips walked on the bed a few times. As it walked, it walked onto his lap. As it walked, her hands were caught by him.
Yu Wan sighed. “I know, I know. We can’t have sexual intercourse in the day.”
… .
Yu Wan was not very hungry since she woke up late. She could not eat anymore after accompanying Yan Jiuchao to drink half a bowl of pumpkin porridge. Yan Jiuchao was still addicted to sourness. Yu Wan was really worried that he would eat something bad after eating two to three plates of sour radish.
After breakfast, the steward of the Xiao Manor came to visit. His surname was also Xiao, and he was Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan’s trusted aide.
Yu Wan had already seen him once in Lotus Flower Village. He had naturally seen Yu Wan before, but he almost didn’t recognize her. Although her looks were outstanding enough in the countryside, she was not as difficult to look at as she was in front of him. It was as if she had been reborn and was indescribably noble.
“Young Madam.” The steward bowed.
Yu Wan greeted him politely. “Steward Xiao, don’t be so polite. Please sit.”
Steward Xiao sat down. “Master and Madam both tasted the cherries Young Madam gave them and liked them very much. They said that they were bigger and sweeter than the ones in the palace. I was lucky enough to try some. They’re indeed delicious.”
Yu Wan smiled and said, “There’s still some in the manor. Steward Xiao, bring more back later.”
Steward Xiao hurriedly said, “There’s no need. We haven’t finished eating those at the Xiao Manor yet. Madam asked me to come over today. She wants to know how Young Master’s health is.”
He was asking her if she had cured Yan Jiuchao’s poison. Yu Wan was too embarrassed to tell him. Although the two of them had been married for so long, they had only slept together twice. The first time, she was the only one who was satisfied, and the second time, even she was not satisfied.
“I’m in good health. Tell her not to worry.”
Yan Jiuchao pushed his wheelchair and appeared at the door.
Steward Xiao quickly stood up. “Young Master.”
Yu Wan walked forward, took the wheelchair from Shadow Thirteen, and pushed him in. “Why are you here?”
Yan Jiuchao said coldly, “How are you going to reply to him if I don’t come?”
What her mother-in-law was most concerned about was whether the two of them had sex. Whether it was to detoxify the poison or to have children, it would not be good if word got out that they still did not have sex for so many days.
Yu Wan understood this logic, but she did not care much. However, just because she did not care did not mean that Yan Jiuchao did not care.
Yan Jiuchao said seriously, “Tell her not to interfere in my matters. I know what to do.”
“Uh… yes, I understand.” Steward Xiao agreed. Since Young Master was so protective of Young Madam, their relationship should be fine. He would make it sound better and reassure Madam.
“By the way.” Steward Xiao thought of something and said, “Madam said that she misses the little masters and asked me to bring them over to stay for a few days. Madam also said that Young Master and Young Madam are newlyweds and it’s inconvenient for the children to be by your side.”
Yan Jiuchao said, “There’s no need. The Young Master Manor is so big. How many people do we need to take care of the children?”
Yu Wan understood that Yan Jiuchao still minded that Shangguan Yan had asked Yan Ruyu to take the children away. That time, the children were frightened and Yan Ruyu had almost thrown Xiaobao into the water. Until now, Xiaobao did not dare to approach the pool, nor could he use a large wooden basin and wooden bucket when he bathed. Otherwise, he would scream.
Steward Xiao hit a few soft nails. He put down the gift Shangguan Yan had asked him to bring and stood up to leave.
Steward Xiao had expected that Young Master would not make an exception, so he only saw Young Madam. He originally thought that Young Madam was easier to talk to, but who knew that Young Master would be worried about Young Madam and followed her.
Steward Xiao shook his head and returned to the manor helplessly.
Yu Wan bent down and smiled at Yan Jiuchao. “Thank you, Yan Jiuchao.”
“You’re happy?” Yan Jiuchao asked strangely.
Yu Wan nodded. “Of course I’m happy that you’re on my side.”
“You’re happy about such a small matter? How promising!” Yan Jiuchao said expressionlessly and pushed the wheelchair out.
Yu Wan looked at his back and smiled foolishly.
… .
Today was Nanny Wan’s class. Before class, Yu Wan assigned a few new maidservants.
Uncle Wan was in a hurry to find servants for her. Other than the fact that she indeed needed a capable maidservant, Nanny Fang of the Qingfeng Courtyard was going back to her hometown to retire. Uncle Wan’s intention was to choose a capable maidservant to help manage the common affairs of the Qingfeng Courtyard.
Tao’er and Li’er were too young. It was best to choose from the maidservants Fu Ling, Zi Su, Ban Xia, and Su Mu.
Zi Su was originally the daughter of a rich family, and she was the most presentable. Ban Xia served her all year round, and her experience was not bad, but the most reliable person was Su Mu.
There was a hint of Yu Wan on Su Mu. It was not that they looked similar, but that they came from the same background and had an otherworldly temperament.
Yu Wan pondered for a moment. “Choose between Zi Su and Su Mu. How long until Nanny Fang leaves?”
“After this month,” Uncle Wan said.
“Then there aren’t many days left,” Yu Wan said. There was no time to slowly pick.
“Zi Su,” Yu Wan said.
Uncle Wan was surprised. “Why not Miss Su?”
That’s right, why wasn’t it Su Mu? She was also the one who discovered the fire last night. She had made a great contribution, so she should think highly of her.
“Miss Zi Su has a bad temper,” Uncle Wan reminded.
“I’ll still choose Zi Su,” Yu Wan said.
Uncle Wan liked Miss Su more. In his opinion, Miss Su was reliable and gentle. Although Miss Zi Su was good, she was a little arrogant. However, since Young Madam had made up her mind, he would promote Zi Su.
