If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 379 I’m so hungry

Shen Sui'an slept until the next day.

When she woke up, she saw Fu Jinyuan sitting beside her couch.

He must have just showered, and there was still a light scent of soap on his body. He held her hand, lowered his eyes and stared at her, and when her eyelids moved slightly, he sat up straight.

"Awake?" Fu Jinyuan's voice was low and gentle.

Shen Sui'an hummed and looked at the sky outside, "Have you been here all the time?"

Fu Jinyuan shook his head gently, "I went to take care of something and just came back. How do you feel?"

"I'm so hungry." said Shen Sui'an.

"Wait a moment." Fu Jinyuan smiled faintly and brought over the chicken soup with fish maw that had been kept warm.

"Have some soup first and have someone bring the meal over."

Shen Sui'an hadn't eaten for a day, and giving birth to the child took a lot of effort, so now she was really hungry.

She asked Ban Jian to come in and help her rinse her mouth and wash her face.

Fu Jinyuan was watching her beside her. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her little face was like a steamed red fruit, white with a rosy glow, her neck was as white as cream, and her chest was bulging, then contracted at the waist.

It doesn't look like it was just produced.

Shen Sui'an took the soup from Ban Jian, and soon the bowl was finished. Then she remembered another important thing.

"Husband, where is your son?"

"She fell asleep after feeding just now, so I asked the wet nurse to bring her back." Fu Jinyuan came to his senses and sat down next to her again.

Shen Sui'an quickly pulled his hand and said, "Let's wait until he wakes up. Don't wake up our son."

Fu Jinyuan chuckled, and he lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Okay."

"I didn't have time to ask you yesterday, were you injured during your trip to Jingkou this time?" Shen Suian stroked his strong chest, fearing that he was injured and hiding it from her.

"No, nothing's wrong." Fu Jinyuan whispered, "Do you need me to take off my clothes for you to check?"

Shen Sui'an gave him a glare and said, "Then tell me what is going on in the Thirteen Villages."

The servants in the room tactfully left.

"Those who are willing to follow me back to the capital, I will arrange for them to work in the Zhenfu Division. They are now in a large house outside the city. I will let them learn the law first. After I submit the positions of the various departments of the Zhenfu Division and the approval of the Ministry of Revenue, and everyone can receive their salaries, I will let them work in the Zhenfu Division."

"What about the others?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Fu Jinyuan glanced at her and said, "My uncle helped them get their household registration and travel permits. According to the distance, it should take some time to get to Suzhou."

As long as they arrive in Suzhou, they can start a new life.

Shen Sui'an was stunned as she listened to him finish telling the story of the Thirteen Villages in just a few words.

"How dare you recruit people from the Thirteen Villages... to the Pacification Office? Who, who came up with this idea?" That's too bold!

When she heard Ruan Zhaoxia say that the Thirteen Villages were burned down and Fu Jinyuan recruited hundreds of talents, she found it unbelievable and couldn't understand where these more than a hundred people came from.

That's how it came about.

Fu Jinyuan smiled faintly. When he knew that the soldiers in the Thirteen Villages were all veterans who were forced to quit the army, he certainly had some ideas.

Especially when he saw Qin Liang, he became more convinced that the other party would definitely be persuaded by him.

"No one is born wanting to be a thief," said Fu Jinyuan.

Shen Sui'an calmed down his shock, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out? He will definitely send someone to investigate."

Hundreds of people were burned to death.

Even if the emperor believed it, He Zhiyuan certainly wouldn't believe it.

"Even if you don't believe it, who do you think can believe that the Thirteen Villages would collude with the imperial court and destroy their own camp?" Fu Jinyuan said.

"..." Shen Sui'an nodded slowly, "You are right, the emperor is really going to be mad."

Fu Jinyuan gave a faint smile with an ambiguous meaning.

It's more than just angering.

He had recruited so many playboys in the past, and the entire royal capital was waiting to laugh at him.

Now that Du Youchuan and Prince Kang have both made great contributions, even if the emperor is furious, he must reward them according to their merits.

Shen Sui'an burst out laughing.

You can imagine how angry the emperor would be.

He was waiting to see Fu Jinyuan make a fool of himself, but Fu Jinyuan not only wiped out the Thirteen Villages, but at least in the eyes of outsiders, the Thirteen Villages were wiped out.

The emperor cannot deny Fu Jinyuan's contribution in suppressing bandits.

What hurt the emperor the most was that Fu Jinyuan was able to recruit useful talents from the Pacification Division along the way.

Tsk tsk, Shen Suian couldn't help but feel sympathy for the emperor.

Fu Jinyuan said, "I have reported the good news of your safe birth to the palace yesterday. The Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother have given me many gifts. They are all stored in the storehouse. You can come back to see them after you are out of confinement."

"Okay." Shen Sui'an nodded with a smile.

Just as he was about to ask if he had told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he heard Ban Jian reporting from outside, "Your Highness, Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here."

Fu Jinyi wanted to come yesterday, but it was late and there was curfew, so he couldn't leave the palace.

Early this morning, he had someone open his private vault, packed two large boxes with the treasures he had collected over the years, and happily came to Prince Chen's Palace.

"Where is my little nephew? Let me see my little nephew."

Shen Sui'an smiled and asked Fu Jinyuan to entertain the little prince.

"Brother, I've heard everything. You're so awesome." Fu Jinyi looked at Fu Jinyuan with shining eyes.

He really is worthy of being his brother.

Fu Jinyuan pinched Fu Jinyi's arm and asked, "Did you exercise well?"

"Of course. I listened to you and practiced horse stance every day and also started practicing shooting." Fu Jinyi said proudly.

"Come on, I'll take you to see your little nephew." Fu Jinyuan said.

Fu Jinyi was very excited, but he muttered indignantly, "Father is really too much. He didn't even give me a reward. I went to pay my respects this morning. I guess he couldn't sleep all night."

The dark circles under your eyes must have been from tossing and turning last night.

Prince Chen not only made great contributions, but also gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. The officials in the court must have a different attitude towards Prince Chen.

Fu Jinyuan smiled faintly. He didn't care at all whether the emperor gave him a reward or not.

But all the noble families and officials in the royal capital were watching, and if the emperor wanted to save his face, he had to hold his nose and reward Fu Jinyuan.

Fu Jinyi finally saw his long-awaited nephew, and the smile on his face was so big that it almost reached his ears.

"My little nephew is so handsome." Fu Jinyi looked at the baby who was sleeping soundly and even spoke in a low voice.

"Brother, what's his name?"

Fu Jinyuan said, "I haven't come up with a name yet."

Shen Sui'an discussed with him and wanted to go to the palace to ask his mother to name his son.

"That's great." Fu Jinyi said, "I will give him all the delicious food and fun things in the future."

Fu Jinyuan frowned and said calmly, "Doctor Zhou will arrive in the capital soon. Let him check your pulse then."

"You won't need another injection, will you?" Fu Jinyi's face changed.

"If you were fine, why would I give you acupuncture so casually?" Fu Jinyuan said.
