Chapter 862: Husband and wife disagree
In the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, the moonlight is rising, the clear light is spreading, and the whole courtyard is brilliant.
The palace was bustling like never before.
The whole family sat together and drank.
"Second brother, try this golden minced meat dish. Mother knew you were coming back soon, so she specially asked someone to find this big carp with golden scales and red tail. Put it in the fish tank and take good care of it."
Su Xuanming picked up a piece of sashimi with the serving chopsticks and put it in Su Yunting's bowl.
The fish slices are sliced so thin that they are translucent, and as white as snow, neatly spread out on a clear glass ice plate.
Su Yunting was floating on the sea and was tired of eating sashimi, but this was the kindness of his elder brother.
He picked up a piece of sashimi, dipped it in a little orange juice, and it was cool and tender in his mouth. The sweetness instantly exploded on the tip of his tongue, followed by the slight impact of wasabi and the fruity aroma of orange juice. The layers are distinct and it is truly a unique experience.
Shuyao didn't even look at the sashimi. Her eyes were drawn to the roasted whole lamb in the corner of the yard.
In a corner of the courtyard, a charcoal fire is burning brightly in a specially made clay stove.
A whole selected suckling lamb has been thoroughly marinated with a secret sauce and its skin has been brushed with a thick layer of wild honey.
Lumei directed the chef to keep turning and grilling the meat. The fat dripped onto the charcoal, making a sizzling sound and raising white smoke with a caramel aroma.
"It's almost done, Madam Second Young Master, don't worry, the roast lamb will be ready soon."
When baked, the skin is an attractive amber color and crispy.
Shuyao stared at the chef slicing the meat, not wanting to miss any details.
Wherever the blade passed, hot air gushed out with the strong aroma of meat, honey and spices.
Shuyao couldn't help swallowing her saliva, which made Su Yunting laugh: "What a greedy woman."
Shuyao glared at him.
Su Yunting quickly brought the first plate of sliced roast lamb to Shuyao.
Shuyao was so angry that she almost laughed.
Eighty percent of the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this world can be attributed to the husband’s ignorance.
Look, mother-in-law is still on the table, and he brought the mutton over without even asking her.
What does my mother-in-law think about this?
Gu Nanxi noticed Shuyao's embarrassment and smiled to help: "We don't have so many rules in our family. Seeing that you two are so close, I feel very relieved. Yunting, quickly serve your wife a portion of crab stuffed orange. We ordered it from Baxianlou. Try it and see if it tastes like this."
Shuyao placed her left hand under the table and gently stroked her belly, her expression touching yet a little embarrassed.
Su Yunting opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but was stepped on hard by Shuyao.
Shuyao picked up the crab stuffed orange, frowned and closed her eyes.
The next second, the crab stuffed orange on the chopsticks was snatched away by Su Yunting.
Shuyao glared at him, why? !
Su Yunting said straightforwardly: "Mother, she doesn't like crab stuffed with orange, but I do. Give it to me."
Shuyao gritted her teeth. She really couldn't bear this old man anymore! How could he say this to Duke Yun?
Gu Nanxi sighed secretly in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged and gentle: "It doesn't matter, eat whatever you want. This is your own home, do whatever you feel comfortable with."
"Thank you, mother." Shuyao knew that her behavior today was a little hurtful, but she really couldn't control it.
Gu Nanxi: "You came back late today, so I didn't ask your parents to come over. When you have time, ask your parents if it's convenient for our two families to get together."
Shuyao was flattered: "Okay, mother."
After dinner, Gu Nanxi sympathized with the two men’s fatigue from the journey and sent them back to the yard to rest.
The yard was swept spotlessly clean, the quilts and sheets were all made of the latest silk, and the house was lit with lychee incense.
After Su Yunting finished washing up, he saw Shuyao sitting on the bed in a daze.
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so distant with my mother?"
Not like her usual self at all.
Shuyao rubbed her face and smiled bitterly: "You saw it too? Did mother see it too?"
Su Yunting gave her a look that said "What do you think?"
Shuyao said blankly: "I know this is not good, but I can't control myself."
"What are you worried about? Mother loves you very much."
"I know, but it's different now."
Su Yunting sat down next to Shuyao and asked patiently, "What's different?"
Shuyao was a little incoherent: "Now the entire Northland belongs to me. I really have the possibility of ascending the throne to become the emperor."
Su Yunting smiled: "It's not possible, it's certain! Besides, didn't you already know what my mother wanted to do?"
"No, alas, you don't understand." Shuyao lay on the bed with her back to Su Yunting, her face full of displeasure.
How can it be the same?!
At that time, it was just a thought. Even the most optimistic people would only dare to set the time at ten years.
As a result, he and his wife only went out to sea, and when they came back, they found that the entire northern land had become the property of Duke Yun!
She also occupied Kyoto!
How scary.
Shuyao didn't know where to put her hands and feet, but Su Yunting was still as stupid as before.
Didn't he know that from now on, his mother would no longer be just his mother, but the emperor? !
His elder brother is no longer just his elder brother, he is very likely to be the future crown prince!
In the future, the gap between future generations will become increasingly larger.
Thinking of this, Shuyao felt a little unwilling.
"Shuyao, why didn't you let me tell my mother the good news of your pregnancy?"
Shuyao's body stiffened, she took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm, "It's not three months yet. Wait until the baby is stable before telling mother, so that she won't be disappointed."
A long sigh sounded beside me.
Su Yunting hugged Shuyao: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The next day, Su Yunting and Shuyao went back to her parents' home together.
Lord Chen was extremely happy and asked the two of them about their well-being. However, Mrs. Chen hugged her son and watched coldly as the three of them were being so affectionate.
Perhaps because she has experienced a lot, Shuyao is no longer as resistant to Mrs. Chen as before. Instead, she is grateful that she can accompany her father and take care of his food, clothing, and shelter.
Therefore, when the two of them were alone, she would show more concern for Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen's life has not been easy these days, especially when she saw the Su family being severely punished, she felt more aggrieved and frightened.
Every night I dream about Duke Yun punishing the Chen family.
Suddenly, Mrs. Chen felt so concerned about Shuyao that her grievances were like a flood that broke through a dam and could never be recovered.
She wiped her tears and cried about what had happened in the past few days and the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"Each of your five fingers has its own length. How can you treat your children equally as a parent? If it were an ordinary family, they would fight for pots and jars, but when it comes to the royal family, they are fighting for the supreme position! It is the future of future generations! Are you willing to let your son always be one step behind others and kowtow to his cousins?"
Mrs. Chen spoke from the bottom of her heart and felt that she had done nothing wrong.
If the prince was her son-in-law instead of Su Xuanming, her family's property would not have been ransacked!
Shuyao's head was buzzing.
She had some ideas about that position, but everyone around her had always assumed that Su Dalang would be the one to inherit the family business in the future, including Su Yunting, who also thought so.
"You...let me think about it. My mind is confused." Shuyao left Chen's house as if she was escaping for her life.
