I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Chapter 228: Debts owed, collect the money to pay back the gift!

It is said that Gao Yan sent a servant to pass a sign to the palace to invite the imperial physician.

When the Imperial Hospital's manager saw that it was a name card from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he immediately paid great attention to it. However, after careful questioning, he learned that the patient was the Crown Prince's wife...

That sense of importance was immediately removed!

"Who is sick?" The chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Doctor Liu, came over and asked the person in charge personally.

Doctor Liu was usually very busy and had no time to personally inquire about such trivial matters, but he dared not neglect the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion, fearing that if he was not careful...

Then we have offended high nickel again!

Back then, because they didn’t tell the truth about Fu Yuzheng’s mother’s infertility, the entire Imperial Hospital was surrounded by the Embroidered Uniform Guards!

All the imperial doctors knelt on the ground trembling with fear, not daring to breathe, and the entire Imperial Hospital was almost closed down!

Too scary!

From then on, all medical matters of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion (Fu Yuyao's husband's family and her parents' family) were carefully taken care of by the Imperial Medical Bureau's Chief Physician Liu.

Once he found out that someone Gao Ni and Fu Yuzheng cared about was sick, he would immediately send an experienced imperial physician to see the patient and would never dare to delay or fool around!

Therefore, Imperial Physician Liu also personally took care of the matter today.

But the steward replied, "She is not an important person, but the newly married wife of the prince."

"Oh, the Crown Prince's wife, that person is indeed not an important one." Doctor Liu nodded.

Even if it’s the Crown Prince Gao Yan himself, it doesn’t matter!

What's more, she was his concubine's wife, which made her a level lower than his.

So, Doctor Liu just let it go and let the steward take care of it.

As for the manager, today he has received many invitations from royal palaces and duke's palaces requesting royal physicians. He has to sort them according to the status of each family and the patient, putting those with higher status first and those with lower status at the end.

So, Shen Yan waited for more than two hours, but the imperial physician did not come.

It was not until the sun set and it was almost time to wash up and go to bed that a young imperial physician finally arrived.

The young imperial physician carefully examined Shen Yan's ear and saw that half of the connection had been bitten off. He immediately took out needle and thread and sewed it up.

"Doctor, her thigh was scalded by the boiling tea." Seeing that Shen Yan was embarrassed to speak, Gao Yan took the initiative to speak for her.

Hearing this, Shen Yan blushed.

She felt that the thighs were a private part that shouldn't be mentioned, so she just applied burn medicine in private.

At this time, the young doctor asked the boy to take out a pack of burn medicine from the medical bag and said:

"This is the latest model, and its efficacy is much better than the ordinary ones. Madam Crown Prince can apply it three times a day."

Hearing this, Gao Yan smiled proudly at Shen Yan, his eyes seemed to say - Look, it's a good thing your husband told you, otherwise where would you find this more effective medicine?

Shen Yan seemed to understand and gave Gao Yan an admiring look in return, as if to say - my husband is still very thoughtful!

In the glances between them, the love between the couple is fully revealed.

The young doctor's ears turned red involuntarily after seeing this.

After the imperial physician left, Shen Yan directly expressed her respect for Gao Yan: "Brother Yan, thanks for your reminder, otherwise the burn on my leg... I'm afraid I would have to suffer for several more days."

Gao Yan really benefited from it.

He hugged Shen Yan's waist more gently and said with a smile: "That's good to know. Listen to your husband more in everything in the future. There will be many benefits."

"Yes." Shen Yan tried her best to coax Gao Yan and think of ways to make him feel better.

That night, under Shen Yan's deliberate flattery, Gao Yan completely forgot about the bad things that happened during the day, and he didn't even think about the death of Fu Yuyao, whom he once loved deeply. There was only one thought left in his mind -

It’s so happy to be with Shen Yan!

He regained his confidence!

I feel comfortable everywhere!

~

The next morning was the day when Shen Yan returned to her parents' home after getting married.

As a result, just after finishing breakfast and preparing to go out, bad things happened.

"Master Young Master, Madam Young Master, that... that..." The steward came to the main room and hemmed and hawed for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

Gao Yan frowned and said, "What is it? If you keep hesitating, you will be dismissed from the position of manager. I will promote someone else."

The steward was so frightened that he blurted out, "My Lord, the return gift was prepared by the Duke's wife, but... there is only this one."

As he spoke, the manager took out a birdcage from behind him, which contained a cuckoo.

The manager added: "Apart from this cuckoo, there is no other return gift."

Gao Yan: ???

Isn't this mother just trying to make things difficult for Shen Yan?

What newlywed would return home with only a bird? Or a very cheap one, isn't it?

His mother could afford to lose that person, but Gao Yan couldn't!

Therefore, Gao Yan directly told the steward loudly, "Go to my private store and pick out a few items to pack."

Manager: ???

Private library?

Wasn't the private treasury emptied long ago and all given to the Xuan De Marquis's Mansion as a betrothal gift?

How to choose?

Gao Yan was stunned: "What, there are no priceless treasures?" He seemed unconvinced and took the key to open the warehouse door himself.

As a result, when the warehouse door opened and Gao Yan walked in, he was stunned.

——It's empty, with only rows of empty shelves and four large white walls left!

Last time when packing the betrothal gifts, Gao Yan only gave the order verbally, and he did not personally come to the private warehouse to check it out. So today was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

The feeling inside... is like a raging storm!

It took me a long time to come back to my senses!

Gao Yan didn't come back to his senses until Shen Yan followed him and greeted him. Afraid that Shen Yan would find out that he was penniless, he quickly pulled Shen Yan away for a few steps and said with a smile:

"Yan'er, wait a moment. I'll go get you some goodies as a return gift."

"Go back to your room and wait for me."

After saying that, Gao Yan strode out of his Qiu Shuang Courtyard and rushed towards the second room.

At this time, Shen Yan had not yet anticipated that Gao Yan, in order to save face when he proposed to her, had already given all his belongings to her parents' family.

Two quarters of an hour later, Gao Yan came back in high spirits, with the servant behind him holding seven or eight valuable items. Shen Yan looked at them one by one.

——There are red gold headpieces, jade and agate bracelets, and also thousand-year-old ginseng.

All valuable good stuff!

"Do you like it?" Gao Yan straightened his back, stared at Shen Yan's face and asked with a smile.

Shen Yan smiled shyly: "My husband treats me so well."

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Lin rushed in and started cursing as soon as he entered the door:

"Gao Yan, I think you have lost your mind! Your private vault is empty, so you go to borrow from your uncle and aunt? Are you trying to show off your wealth?"

"I borrowed it today, but what are you going to give back tomorrow? Huh?"

Shen Yan: ???

How come all these valuable things were just borrowed by Gao Yan from the second house?

Borrowed?

After marriage, Gao Yan was so poor that he had to rely on "borrowing things" to keep up appearances? This was something Shen Yan had never expected before getting married!

When Shen Yan suddenly found out, she was completely shocked!

Gao Yan was furious when he saw his mother expose him in front of his newlywed wife. He yelled, "Mother, what does it have to do with you? I will pay you back when I get my salary next month."

"Pay it off?" Lin laughed sarcastically. "Bah! Don't you see how much salary you get a month? Even if you don't eat or drink, you can't pay it back even if you save for a whole year!"

After hearing this, Gao Yan's face turned green!

Shen Yan was completely confused. Gao Yan’s salary was...how low?

At this time, Lin turned around and scolded Shen Yan:

"You're such a spendthrift! You've squandered the entire Gao Yan family's fortune before you even got married! You've only been married for three days, and you're already borrowing things from your parents' house to keep up appearances!"

"I'm making this clear today! Shen Yan, if you dare to move these goodies to your parents' home today, starting tomorrow, you'll have to eat steamed buns with pickles every day. Don't even think about seeing a home-cooked meal again! You'll never get to eat it in your life!"

Shen Yan's dowry maid was completely stunned.

Steamed buns with pickles?

This, this is even more miserable than the days at my mother's house?

What's the point of getting married?

Gao Yan felt that he had lost face. He glared at Lin angrily and said fiercely, "Mother, today is the auspicious day for the third daughter to return home. Do you have to make trouble today?"

"Hmph, if I don't stop you, you'll be in debt. How can I, as your mother, just ignore it?" Lin said fiercely.

At this time, Shen Yan came back to her senses, quickly calmed her mother-in-law's anger, and said in a gentle voice:

"Don't be angry, mother. I didn't know the actual situation at home before, but now I know it. I will definitely not let my husband bear the debt."

After saying that, Shen Yan quickly ordered the servant: "Send these things back to where they were brought from."

Gao Yan stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "Yan'er, if you don't keep anything, what about the return gift? Are you going with nothing?"

It’s so embarrassing!

But Shen Yan said calmly, "If you have nothing, then you have nothing. The betrothal gift was enough. In this life... you don't have to give anything to my family anymore."

Those people from my mother’s family are not worthy!

Of course, Shen Yan did not say the last sentence out loud, but she just expressed contempt in her heart.

Seeing Shen Yan act like this, the haze in Lin's heart finally dissipated a little, and she said:

"Okay, Shen Yan, remember what you said today. Don't even think about moving anything to your mother's house in this life. No matter if it's valuable or not!"

After saying that, Lin took a step forward, twisted her waist and left with satisfaction.

This was the only successful event for the Lin family since Fu Yuzheng got married, and she felt a little relieved.

(The name is correct, it is Fu Yuzheng. The Lin family has been suffering for several months!)

As soon as Lin left, Shen Yan held Gao Yan's hand and comforted him:

"Brother Yan, my family background is not important at all. What's important is how you live in the future. I don't want you to go into debt for me..."

Shen Yan kept saying that it was all for him, and Gao Yan felt warm at heart when he heard it.

I just feel that this daughter-in-law is so good!

Consider everything for him!

So, at Shen Yan's insistence, on the day of the third day's return to her parents' home, the couple returned empty-handed, and they didn't even take the bird and birdcage prepared by Lin!

~

Xuande Marquis Mansion.

When Lady Xuande got up in the morning, she already started talking about returning home for the third day of the festival.

"I wonder what good things Gao Yan will send us next."

At the breakfast table, when Lady Xuan Dehou was eating with the family's legitimate and illegitimate daughters, she mentioned this with a smile on her face.

After hearing this, Shen Ying pursed her lips at first, and in her heart she looked down on Gao Yan, that big villain.

——You idiot! It cost you two hundred thousand taels to marry a slut like Shen Yan!

But on second thought, out of the 200,000 taels, 30,000 taels would be used as her future dowry. To be honest, it's still quite nice!

Therefore, Shen Ying hoped that Gao Yan would come earlier today so that she could pick out a few good things from the pile of gifts and save them for future use!

The other legitimate daughters had the same idea.

Just as the mother and daughter were looking forward to it, the concierge came quickly and said with a smile, "Madam, Miss, the sixth young lady and her husband are back."

Lady Xuandehou smiled and said, "Please invite them in!"

Then, he remembered something and said, "Bring a few strong women to meet them at the gate so they can help carry the things."

Gao Yan is such a bad guy, so he must have some gifts when he returns home!

The concierge smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Afterwards, he really brought seven or eight strong and powerful women with him.

Unexpectedly, those seven or eight old women went and came back the same way - they left with nothing and came back with nothing!

Lady Xuande Hou looked at Gao Yan and Shen Yan in confusion, then looked past them at the maids behind them... Why did everyone have nothing in their hands?

What about the return gift?

There are some things that Lady Xuande Hou, as an elder, cannot ask, but the eldest sister Shen Ying has no scruples and directly asks Shen Yan:

"Sixth sister, where is the return gift?"

"You and your husband, you won't go back to your parents' home empty-handed, right?"

Gao Yan's face tightened when he heard this.

But Shen Yan said calmly:

"Two hundred thousand betrothal gifts, not to mention the return gift, are the dowries for your sisters when they get married, the red envelopes for your brothers when they marry their wives, and the third-day bathing ceremony for the birth of your children. All of them can be included."

"There is only more, not less. Mother and sister, don't you think this is true?"

Lady Xuandehou: ???

Shen Ying: ???

Does this mean you won’t give me a penny from now on?

After being stunned for a moment, Lady Xuande managed to control her emotions, and forced out an unnatural smile, and greeted Gao Yan:

"Sit inside, uncle."

But she only said this politely. After sitting down, Lady Xuande Marquis was too lazy to even exchange pleasantries. She just asked the maid to serve tea, fruits and snacks and left it at that.

She sat in the main seat without saying a word.

His expression was also indifferent.

Even before she could even sit down and get comfortable, Lady Xuande winked at her trusted maid, who immediately said, "Madam, the housekeeper has something important to report."

Just like that, Lady Xuan Dehou left openly and never came back.

As for Shen Ying, once her mother left, she also found an excuse to return to her boudoir. Unexpectedly, halfway through her journey, she suddenly discovered that the handkerchief tied around her waist was missing.

So Shen Ying went back to get it.

As luck would have it, just as she turned around the screen, she saw Gao Yan holding Shen Yan's hand and leaning over to secretly kiss Shen Yan's cheek.

Shen Yan blushed and turned her head away: "Brother Yan, it's not good if someone sees us."

Gao Yan said nonchalantly, "Where is the person? It's good that they all left. This will give me a good chance to kiss you a little longer."

After saying that, Gao Yan stood up and walked to Shen Yan, held her little face in his hands, lowered his head and kissed her affectionately.

After kissing for a while, he still felt unsatisfied and urged, "Yan'er, let's go to your boudoir before you get married."

What are you going to do in the room?

Shen Yan knew what Gao Yan wanted to do without even thinking about it. But she still had her wits about her shoulders and shook her head, "Brother Yan, this isn't good."

Rumor has it that having sex at your parents’ home on the day of your third birthday will bring bad luck to your parents’ home!

Of course, Shen Yan hopes that all her family members will suffer misfortune!

Unfortunately, she was in poor health and could not serve Gao Yan.

Shen Yan pointed to her injured ear and a small burned thigh and said, "These two places...are very painful. It hurts when I move."

Seeing this, Gao Yan had to give up his romantic thoughts.

He kept apologizing gently, "I'm sorry, Yan'er, I was so distracted that I forgot about it."

After that, he gently asked about the injury and whether it was better now...

Shen Ying hid behind the screen and witnessed with her own eyes how gently Gao Yan treated Shen Yan. The look in his eyes was as sticky as spider silk!

Tsk, a worn-out shoe is so cherished!

Just wait, the more loving you are today, the more...heartbroken you will be tomorrow!

A vicious smile flashed across Shen Ying's lips.
