Chapter 30 Don't Be Bewitched
"this……"
Su Chengnan was speechless.
Although there is chili pepper in this parallel world, it is extremely precious and ordinary people cannot afford it.
In addition, other seasonings such as cumin and pepper are also mixed into this powder. It is easy to fool other people, but it is difficult to fool the Prince of Ningyuan.
"Miss Fu, are you willing to help me solve my doubts?"
"Of course."
Su Chengnan took the porcelain bottle from the embarrassed Su Linhua and asked the servant to pass it to Feng Chao, the scholar disguised by Lu Chaofeng.
He put the porcelain bottle under his nose and sniffed it gently. As he breathed, the spicy spices penetrated into his nasal cavity. He couldn't help sneezing, and his whole face turned red in an instant.
Su Chengnan smiled and said, "Young Master, be careful, this thing is very spicy."
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "This life..." He realized he had said something wrong halfway through, and quickly suppressed his emotions and changed his words, "I'm fine."
"You should drink some water first."
Su Chengnan glanced at Su Linhua, and she poured a cup of boiling water tacitly, walked over and handed it to him personally.
"Sir, please."
Feng Chao held the bottom of the cup, and his fingertips touched the hot cup body. His eyelids twitched unconsciously, and his hand trembled slightly, but he still held it steady.
"Thank you, Second Miss."
"You're welcome."
Whether it is hot or not depends on your heart. As long as you don't panic, your hands will be steady.
Lin Hua has been a food blogger for many years. She knows how to steam, cook and fry. She is almost good at it. After her soul traveled through time and space, although it was Miss Jiao's body, her tolerance to high temperatures had already been improved to a high level in her mind.
Lu Chaofeng used his inner strength to neutralize the damage caused by the temperature of the cup, but in the blink of an eye, the hot water turned into cold water.
“Good tea.”
"You are joking, sir. This is the leaf tea we picked on the road. It's nothing special."
"Miss, you are too modest. This seems to be the fairy hair that is only available in the capital. It is not something that you can just pick up on the street."
Su Chengnan's eyes flashed, and their gazes met again. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Mr. Feng has a good eye. This surprises me a little."
"Eldest sister!"
"Eldest sister, try the porridge cooked by Tong'er."
Su Yutong's crisp voice interrupted the two people's exploration. Su Chengnan picked up the chopsticks and finished the fish in the bowl. "Okay, try it."
"When my second sister was cooking before, Tong'er learned it carefully and followed all the steps carefully, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes."
"Really? Is our Tong'er so smart? Let Second Sister try it and see if it's exactly the same."
"Okay!" Su Yutong straightened his chest, not timid at all.
The maid served some porridge to each person. The fragrant porridge paired with the grilled fish with seasonings was so delicious.
The others ate in silence.
Only Lu Chaofeng was holding the bowl, looking down and thinking, no one knew what he was thinking about. After a while, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and handed over the porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Miss Fu, you haven't answered my question yet."
"What?"
Su Chengnan pretended to be confused, but tears were streaming down her face. This damn Lu Chaofeng just liked to hold on to people.
“What is this spice?”
"Hey, look at my memory! This is what my late father got in exchange from the Hu people's traveling merchants. I really can't answer what it is specifically, I just know that there is chili powder in it."
"oh?"
When Su Weimin was young, he stayed at the border all year round, so it was not uncommon for him to meet traveling merchants. Even Prince Ningyuan often exchanged some uncommon items with traveling merchants.
"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, young lady. This taste is novel. This is my first time to taste it. I really appreciate your help."
Lu Chaofeng was confused, but he kept silent. He felt that the sisters Su Chengnan and Su Linhua were a little different from the impression he had of them.
Su Chengnan smiled and did not continue to respond to him. He simply reached out and took back the porcelain bottle and returned it to Su Linhua.
"Cousin, do you have time?"
A voice sounded from behind. Su Chengnan turned around and saw Jia Yi coming to find her. She knew that they wanted to ask about the future arrangements.
"Cousin, wait a moment."
Su Chengnan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked to the river with him.
After they had walked about a hundred meters, they began to speak confidently.
"Miss, Yi Er just reported: There are no bandits attacking Fengcheng."
"I know."
"Huh? Miss, you..." Jia Yi was surprised.
"Were those officers and soldiers also taken away?"
"Miss, you are very smart. I admire you!" A was completely convinced.
Su Chengnan smiled mysteriously and turned to look at Lu Chaofeng.
How could it be possible for the news that Prince Ningyuan was acting to get out? I’m afraid that as soon as they leave, those people will be sent to meet the King of Hell.
Jia Yi followed her gaze and looked at the scholar. Seeing that he was also looking at this end from a distance, he couldn't help but be shocked. He quickly moved his feet and blocked Su Chengnan's figure with his back.
"Miss, this scholar might be problematic! Why don't we just..." He gestured at his neck a few times, suggesting that it would be better to cut the weeds completely.
Su Chengnan raised his eyes and looked at him deeply.
Jia Yi was anxious: "It's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. The safety of the Su family is the most important!"
"Yes. The safety of the Su family is naturally the first priority."
"Then I'll have someone take action now."
He raised his arm, ready to give orders. Su Chengnan reached out and pulled his arm down.
"Wait a minute! I didn't say I was going to kill him."
"Miss! Don't be fooled by this man's appearance! He is very precise in what he says, and even Uncle Fu couldn't get any information out of him. This man must be someone extraordinary."
"Do you know who he is?! What's the hurry?!"
"I……"
"There must be someone of his nearby."
"Impossible! Otsuji is best at investigation and assassination."
Su Chengnan said unhappily, "He is Ningyuan Prince Lu Chaofeng. Do you still think there is no one around?"
Jia Yi's expression froze on his face, then gradually turned into disbelief. He turned his head again and glanced at the frail scholar, hesitating to say, "This man... is the Prince of Ningyuan? No way..."
"That's him. Absolutely."
"What does he want to do?!"
Su Chengnan sighed, "I also want to know what he wants to do."
Jiayi was the person whom Su Weimin assured with all his heart that he could trust. He trusted these subordinates who had fought with him on the battlefield even more than his own wife. Su Weimin has to rely on Su Chengnan to realize his wish, so he naturally won't harm her.
Su Chengnan told him the whole story of how he recognized Lu Chaofeng, and the conclusion he came to was that no matter what Lu Chaofeng wanted to do, Han must have his own ideas.
"Miss, what should we do now? We can't kill him."
"No hurry, I'll take a look."
"Then I'll have someone keep an eye on him to death."
"Yes!" Su Chengnan nodded and turned to look at the calm river. She thought for a moment and said, "There is one more thing you need to do in person."
"Please give your orders, young lady."
"Yesterday, Bingsan didn't meet anyone coming from the capital, so he didn't get any news. Tonight you..."
Before she finished her words, Jiayi clasped his fists and spoke.
"I will go and investigate personally and bring back the news tomorrow morning."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
