Rebirth of the Dumb Husband and Wife *COMPLETED*

Chapter 82 Fang Jun vs Yan Chi (2)

Fang Jun rarely came to Yan Mansion these days.

The cakes that were delivered every day were also sent by errand boys from the palace. Occasionally, if they saw something interesting on the street, they would send it over along with the cakes.

On this day, Song Jinshu was walking with Yan Chi in the yard. He saw from afar the waiter from the palace delivering something again, so he asked the servant to call the man over.

The errand boy was a child of about ten years old. He seemed to have just grown new teeth, and his front teeth were black when he smiled. He was holding two bunches of candied haws and a bag of cakes in his hands, and he smiled when he saw Song Jinshu and Yan Chi.

"What do you two gentlemen want to ask?"

He grew up in the palace and had seen all kinds of colors, so he could tell that Song Jinshu and Yan Chi had a high status in the mansion, and he smiled cautiously.

Mu Jin was sleeping in the room. Song Jinshu now found everyone younger than himself cute. He took the things handed to him by the waiter and gave him a bunch of candied haws.

"Did you buy these things, or did your Governor Fang buy them?"

Fang Jun didn't come to Yan Mansion, and Song Jinshu was more anxious than Yan Chi.

After finally seeing Yan Chi showing signs of improvement, during the days when Fang Jun was away, he became more depressed. Although the maids and servants in the mansion could not see through, Song Jinshu knew for sure that Yan Chi was absent-minded and would stare blankly at a certain place from time to time.

The waiter was licking the sugar coating on the candied haws. He was stunned when he heard Song Jinshu's words. It took him several seconds to reply, "These were bought by Governor Fang and asked me to deliver them."

Hearing Fang Jun's name, Yan Chi glanced at the waiter pretending to be indifferent.

"Then why didn't your Governor Fang send it over in person?" Song Jinshu could now speak fluently and communicate with others normally. Because he was beautiful and had given birth to a child, he looked gentle and kind, especially liked by children.

"Governor Fang is accompanying the beautiful lady." The child spoke without restraint and said whatever he saw. Fang Jun did not expect that Song Jinshu would detain the child and ask him questions, so he never reminded him not to talk cautiously outside.

"There have been a lot of guests in the palace recently. One of the ladies seems to be an old acquaintance of Governor Fang, so Governor Fang has been busy accompanying her these past few days. Today's candied haws were also bought by that lady and she said they were delicious, so Governor Fang asked me to bring two."

Yan Chi lowered his eyes, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, and he pursed his lips and withdrew his hand that was about to take the candied haws.

Knowing what Fang Jun had been busy with these days, Song Jinshu didn't want to know anything else. He stuffed some candy into the boy's pocket and let him go back to the palace.

Yan Chi had a dull expression on his face. Song Jinshu pushed him into the room in the yard and unpacked the cakes and candied haws for him. He tasted a little of everything but didn't touch the candied haws.

Song Jinshu wanted to tease him, so he held the wooden stick of the candied haws and handed it to Yan Chi, "Brother, why don't you eat the candied haws? Brother Fang heard that the beautiful lady said it was delicious, so he brought it specially for you."

Yan Chi was annoyed with him. He pushed open Song Jinshu's hand holding the candied haws in front of the door and glanced at him indifferently, "You shouldn't get rid of this stuttering. I'm afraid you're going to say all the things I've said for more than ten years. I want to beat you up."

Yan Chi knew that Song Jinshu came to disturb him every day with the child just to make him happy and talk. Song Jinshu naturally knew that Yan Chi was not annoyed with him, so he smiled and took his hand back.

"Brother, can't you see what Brother Fang feels for you?" Song Jinshu also picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, which melted in his mouth with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus. "Brother used to like Mr. Shen and the Second Master, and I couldn't say anything. But now it seems that Mr. Shen is perfunctory to Brother Fang. People like Brother Fang are hard to come by..."

"That's why I can't delay him."

Yan Chi was well taken care of in the Yan Mansion, and his complexion was much better than before, but there was always a hint of sadness between his brows.

"He's too good. I can't be a hindrance to him or a burden to him."  Yan Chi had thought it through clearly during the days when Fang Jun hadn't come. "Maybe he is just being kind and feels sorry for me, so he has sympathy for me. Such a good person should get married and have children, but I can't give him these."

It's not that Yan Chi can't be a concubine, but if he becomes the concubine of the person he loves, and sees his beloved being in love with someone else, he would probably be jealous beyond recognition.

He was not a saint, so he could only curl up timidly and try not to make any mistakes.

All his expectations for marriage and family were shattered by Shen's mother's verbal abuse and the disappearance of the child. Even he was not sure if he had the energy to love someone again.

"But feelings are relative," Song Jinshu and Yan Cheng have been through a lot, so he said this with a bit of an experienced attitude, "You can't unilaterally cut off all the connections between you and Brother Fang. In a few days, it will be Mu Jin's full moon banquet. At that time, I will let the second master send an invitation to Brother Fang. You can have a good chat with Brother Fang, okay?"

Yan Chi's mind was a mess, and he nodded to everything Song Jinshu said.

Yan Cheng hosted Mu Jin's full-month banquet even more grandly than the one he held when he married Song Jinshu. Red lanterns and red silk cloths were hung all over the mansion, and the festive red color of the brightly lit Yan mansion could be seen from a long distance away.

Shen Yuxiu wanted to see Yan Chi but felt it was awkward to stay in Yan's house for the banquet. After personally delivering the gift, he did not see Yan Chi and went back in shame.

The noise in front was too much for the children and Yan Chi to bear. So he held Mu Jin in his arms and played in the room.

The little girl has grown up. She has some of Yan Cheng's heroic spirit in her eyes and eyebrows, and her mouth is like Song Jinshu. Her face is round and Yan Chi can't let her go.

Song Jinshu came in wearing a red dress. Because she drank some wine, her eyes were full of charm, and the blush spread from both sides of her cheeks to the back.

Two other people were following him, one was Fang Jun, and the other was a girl he had never seen before.

She wore a goose feather yellow cardigan dress with a white cloak draped over her shoulders. The cloak was too big and didn't fit her body well. The hem of the cloak dragged on the ground and was wet by the melted snow.

"This is Miss Mu. She came to Youdu from Jiangzhou to do some sightseeing. She followed me here when she heard that I was going to attend a banquet today." After not seeing Fang Jun for a few days, he looked more handsome than before. The cloak that was supposed to be worn on him was now draped over Miss Mu's body, and a thin layer of snow fell on his shoulders. The distinct black and white looked dazzling.

Fang Jun nodded at Yan Chi as a greeting, and Mu Ru carefully took the child from Yan Chi's arms. Fang Jun stood beside him, lowered his eyes, and smiled gently at Mu Jin. The three of them standing together looked like a harmonious family.

Yan Chi felt a lump in his throat, and the food he had eaten in the afternoon surged up his esophagus. He swallowed hard, his eyes turning red.
