Yan Ruyu turned around and saw that Shen Wenqi looked no different from when she went out, except that there was a little more scent of powder on her body, which was very faint.

He glanced at it, then lowered his eyes indifferently, hiding the disgust in his eyes.

Shen Wenqi was holding a snack bag in her hand with a smile on her face. When she came in and saw Mrs. Shen leaning against the head of the bed, her face haggard, her smile froze instantly.

"Ruhuan, what's wrong?" He walked quickly to the bedside, "Why do you look so bad?"

He put down the snack bag and held Mrs. Shen's hand: "Your hands are so cold too."

Yan Ruyu saw Madam Shen's hand stiffen for a moment, and whispered, "Sir, Madam had a nightmare during her nap, and she has been feeling uneasy since she woke up. She just had acupuncture, and she is feeling better now."

Jiang Tangli gritted her teeth and glared behind Shen Wenqi. Yan Ruyu glanced at her indifferently, and she endured it again.

Yan Ruyu handed over another cup of hot water, and Mrs. Shen pulled her hand away and took the cup.

Shen Wenqi was not aware of the undercurrents between the three women. She smiled at Madam Shen and said, "What nightmare did you have? You are so scared."

Mrs. Shen took a sip of water and whispered, "I dreamed that our child was gone."

Shen Wenqi was startled, then comforted him: "Don't be afraid, dreams are always the opposite."

Mrs. Shen lowered her head to drink water, her long eyelashes drooping: "But I am still uneasy. I want to go to Shenyuan Temple tomorrow and burn incense. The child was prayed for there. I believe the gods will bless me."

Shen Wenqi didn't expect her to make this request, and said thoughtfully: "The mountain road is difficult to travel, and you are not suitable for bumping around now. If you get bumped, I will be distressed."

Jiang Tangli said, "Third sister is not spoiled at all. When she was at home, she often rode horses and hunted. Sima Shen, please don't treat Third sister as a spoiled girl."

Shen Wenqi tilted her head to look at her: "This is a different time. A woman's pregnancy should be a very small matter. It's not a matter of being squeamish or not."

Madam Shen said, "But I still feel uneasy. Burning incense can help me put my mind at ease."

"I heard that the environment around Shenyuan Temple is not bad. I wonder if there is a place to stay there. If there is, I can stay for a while." Jiang Tangli was very interested. "Third sister, don't you think so?"

Mrs. Shen nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

Shen Wenqi frowned: "Nonsense, no."

"Why?" Jiang Tangli drew his attention to herself, "Third sister wants to go, why not?"

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and her stiff fingers relaxed slightly.

She could also breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Shen Wenqi wasn't paying attention to her.

Yan Ruyu also looked at Shen Wenqi. Logically speaking, if Mrs. Shen's request was not excessive, and if Shen Wenqi didn't want her to mention business anymore, it would be a good thing for her to agree to it.

He could stay in the temple for a while with Jiang Tangli as his companion, and then find a reason to return to the city. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

But why didn't he agree?

unless……

Shen Wenqi suppressed her annoyance and said, "Seventh sister, you don't know that Shenyuan Temple is not open every day, and outsiders have never been allowed to stay here. Moreover, the mountain road is difficult to travel, and carriages and horses cannot reach the temple gate. You have to walk a long distance."

"Do you think your third sister's situation is okay?"

Jiang Tangli was puzzled: "What kind of temple is this? It's open every day, and outsiders are not allowed to stay. I have been to the Royal Temple and the Great Kingdom Temple, and I have never seen such rules."

"It's quite effective in praying for a child," Jiang Tangli lowered her voice, "Third sister, remember what our grandfather taught us, there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. This temple..."

Mrs. Shen showed just the right amount of worry, and Shen Wenqi shouted, "Shut up!"

Jiang Tangli was startled: "Why are you so fierce?"

Shen Wenqi cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment: "I'm not being mean, I'm just worried. Ruhuan has been pregnant until now, so she has to be careful at every moment."

Madam Shen smiled lightly: "Tangli is right, I am not that delicate, and other people are not so meticulous in taking care of their pregnancies. Last time the Cao family held a banquet, Miss Cao said that there is no need to be overly cautious."

She brought up Miss Cao, and Shen Wenqi was choked for a moment.

Shen Wenqi looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "You are a female doctor. Can you tell me if Madam can go so far out of the city after she just had an acupuncture treatment?"

His eyes were slightly cold, and it was obvious that he wanted Yan Ruyu to give him the answer he wanted.

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, and bowed slightly: "Madam, what you are thinking about is actually not harmful to your body. It is mainly caused by the unrest in your heart."

"If you can calm your mind and feel happy, everything will be solved naturally."

Shen Wenqi sighed, "But the temple is not open at any time, and there is no place to stay. Otherwise, wait a while, and let me go and say hello to the temple to see if they can open a door for you."

This is just a way of shirking responsibility. Who knows when we can reach an agreement?

Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "By the way, have you found out about the Qiu and Cheng shops? You have to do it as soon as possible. Good shops are hard to come by. If you are late, they may be snatched away by others."

Shen Wenqi was troubled by the temple affairs, and when he heard her mention the business, he immediately felt that this matter would be easier to handle.

"I've inquired about it, and it's true. If you want to do it, it's not impossible. It's a good opportunity to keep you busy and relieve your mood," Shen Wenqi said kindly, "All dreams are fake. On the contrary, I'm with you, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Yan Ruyu looked at his smiling eyes and thought that humans were much scarier than ghosts.

Jiang Tangli also rolled her eyes silently.

Mrs. Shen barely managed to hold back: "That's true."

"Give the key to the storeroom to Madam Yang first. It will be convenient for her to go in and out to get some things."

Shen Wenqi smiled and took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom: "With such a small business, why would we need your dowry? Take these, it should be enough."

Mrs. Shen was slightly surprised: "Where did it come from?"

Shen Wenqi smiled and said, "What are you saying? I, your husband, don't know how to make money. Don't I have any money? Before, I wanted to buy you something you like after you gave birth, and prepare things for the child to make you happy."

"Since you are in a bad mood and want to do business, use it now. Anyway, it is for your happiness. It doesn't matter when."

Every word he said was laced with sugar. If Mrs. Shen had not seen through him long ago, she would have been fooled by him.

Jiang Tangli was secretly shocked. No wonder her third sister had been coaxed by him for three years. Just these few words and such a short time showed how much effort he put in.

Mrs. Shen was not polite and reached out to take the banknote: "Then I would like to thank my husband."

Shen Wenqi was startled and smiled gently: "As long as you are happy."

"However, this amount of banknotes can only buy a shop. I also want to invest in the Qiu family's trade business outside the Great Wall, so I have to prepare the big money early."

Shen Wenqi's expression froze a little: "No need to be so anxious, right? Just open a shop first, and you'll be busy enough. Your health is more important."

Madam Shen smiled knowingly, seeing his hesitation: "My husband forgot that I used to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce, managing a shop, which is nothing."

"Just give me the key."
