Chapter 88 He's angry
Recalling his way of giving comments, Qin Shuzhi thought, "..."
Mr. Shi is a bit of a pervert.
She couldn't help but look at him curiously and asked, "Do you like women wearing cheongsams?"
“No,” Shi Yuanxing corrected, “I only like my Mrs. Shi to wear it.”
Moreover, it's best to wear it only at home, and only for him to see.
"..."
Qin Shuzhi sensed a change in Mr. Shi's gaze, a familiar feeling that frightened her so much that she couldn't continue the conversation.
"Um... I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
She changed the subject.
"Yes, I made your favorite millet porridge. Come on, let's go eat."
Sure enough, when the man heard that she was hungry, he immediately pulled her out of the bedroom.
Qin Shuzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
*
The two returned to the Shi Mansion at 2:30 pm.
A few days ago, Qin Shuzhi heard her grandmother say that she hadn't been sleeping well lately, so she specially bought her a calming herbal tea and brought it over.
And following the method taught by the herbalist, I prepared the medicine for her to drink.
"Grandma, the herbalist said that this flower tea needs to be brewed with tangerine peel water, and the tangerine peel needs to be soaked in warm water for an hour. We'll have to wait a while."
"Okay, okay."
Looking at her granddaughter-in-law sitting at the tea table, carefully brewing dried tangerine peel, Madam Shi sighed with joy and satisfaction, "I don't know where my son Yuanxing got his good fortune from, that he was able to marry such a wonderful wife as you."
Qin Shuzhi paused in her work, turned her head and looked at her with a smile, "Grandma, you've got it backwards."
"Huh? Grandma said it backwards?"
Qin Shuzhi blinked, leaned closer and whispered, "I feel like I've hit the jackpot by marrying him."
"Oh?" Madam Shi followed suit, leaning closer and asking in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"He's very capable."
Madam Shi asked, "For example, in which aspect?"
"They're amazing in every way."
Qin Shuzhi counted Shi Yuanxing's good points on her fingers, "He's handsome, smart, gentle and considerate, and he's a great cook..."
"He can cook?"
Madam Shi looked surprised.
"Yes." Qin Shuzhi looked at her curiously, "You didn't know?"
Madam Shi shook her head. After Shi Yuanxing went abroad, he rarely came back. Every time he came back, she wished the kitchen would serve him all the food he liked. She never gave him a chance to enter the kitchen, so how could she have discovered that he could cook?
However, the old lady quickly grasped the core issue, "So, at home, he's the one who does all the cooking?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat.
Is Grandma feeling that she's wronged her grandson?
She swallowed hard before nodding stiffly and honestly, "...Yes."
Madam Shi slapped her thigh and exclaimed in realization, "No wonder he refused when I offered him the best cook in the Shi mansion. It turns out he wanted to show off his good qualities to his wife!"
"Hey, this kid's pretty cunning."
"..."
Qin Shuzhi looked at the old lady, who seemed to have discovered something amusing, and asked, "Grandma, aren't you... angry?"
Old Madam Shi looked at her, puzzled. "Why would I be angry?"
"I'm having your young master cook."
"What do you mean by 'young master'?" Old Madam Shi said. "He's your husband. What's wrong with a husband cooking for his wife?"
Hearing this, Qin Shuzhi chuckled, "That's true. Oh, but I can cook too. When he's busy, I'll cook something delicious for him."
Hearing her words, Old Madam Shi's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, "Very good, you are doing very well."
"Taking care of each other and supporting each other is what a couple should be like."
She was right after all.
His granddaughter-in-law was that brat's salvation.
Hopefully, Shuzhi can help him rediscover the warmth and happiness of home.
What are you talking about?
Shi Yuanxing, who had just returned from answering a phone call, looked at the two ladies huddled together at the tea table, whispering amongst themselves.
Madam Shi said, "I am passing on some tips for managing a husband."
Shi Yuanxing smiled and said, "Okay, wife, then you should learn from Grandma. I'm going upstairs to hold an online meeting."
An hour later.
Madam Shi went to the kitchen to get some snacks for Qin Shuzhi, while Qin Shuzhi had already brewed a pot of flower tea at the tea table.
She poured tea from the purple clay teapot into the teacup, and as the scalding liquid swirled in the cup, it released a refreshing floral fragrance.
Just as I finished pouring three glasses, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried high heels coming from the other side of the door.
Qin Shuzhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shi Qingman walk in with a cold and angry expression.
Shi Qingman looked around the entire living room, which was empty, and finally her gaze fell on Qin Shuzhi sitting at the tea table.
"Sister, you're back."
Qin Shuzhi stood up and greeted her politely.
Shi Qingman pursed her red lips and walked up to her in her clattering high heels. "Where's Shi Yuanxing?"
Qin Shuzhi replied truthfully, "He's upstairs, probably having an online meeting right now."
Just then, a maid came downstairs, and Shi Qingman coldly ordered, "Go and call Shi Yuanxing down for me."
Seeing that the young lady was furious, the maid quickly turned around and went upstairs again.
Shi Qingman then turned around to look at Qin Shuzhi, sized him up for a moment, then crossed her arms and took a few steps closer. Her gaze swept over the tea table, and instantly, anger flared in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said…
"Ha, he certainly has the leisure and time to have his wife make tea for him."
"Sister, you misunderstand. This tea is not specially brewed for those who are going on a long journey. It is flower tea, and anyone can drink it."
After Qin Shuzhi finished speaking, she turned around, picked up a cup of tea, and politely handed it to her, "The tea is freshly brewed, sister, you should have some too..."
"I don't need your fake kindness—"
Shi Qingman raised her hand and brushed it over the cup of tea.
Qin Shuzhi, who was holding the tea tray with both hands, was unable to dodge in time, and the scalding hot flower tea was spilled directly onto the back of her hands.
"hiss."
Qin Shuzhi was in so much pain that she lost her grip, and the teacup fell to the ground with a "crash".
"Qingman, what are you doing?"
Madam Shi rushed over from the kitchen and saw that Qin Shuzhi's hand was burned. She was so anxious that she quickly ordered the maid to get burn ointment and asked another maid to call the family doctor.
"Grandma, there's no need to call the doctor. It's a small matter; I can handle it myself."
Despite the pain, Qin Shuzhi first smiled and comforted Old Madam Shi before turning around and going into the kitchen to deal with the situation.
The old lady followed behind her and, seeing that she was going to the refrigerator to get ice, went up to get it for her herself. When she got closer and saw her burned right hand, she felt sorry for her.
"Ouch, it's all red. Does it hurt a lot?"
Just as Shi Yuanxing rushed into the kitchen, he overheard Old Madam Shi's words.
His eyes narrowed, and he quickly walked to Qin Shuzhi's side. Looking down, he saw that several of her slender, fair fingers on her right hand were burned to varying degrees.
He hurriedly took the ice pack from Madam Shi's hand and looked at Qin Shuzhi, "Does it hurt?"
Qin Shuzhi saw the heartache and worry in his eyes and was about to say something when a series of hurried high heels followed by Shi Qingman's voice came first.
"Shi Yuanxing, I'm talking to you, what kind of attitude is this...?"
That's enough.
With a stern face, Old Madam Shi reprimanded Shi Qingman as she walked in, "You burned your sister-in-law, and you're still making a scene?"
"Get out of here. We can talk about it later."
Without saying a word, Madam Shi led Shi Qingman away from the kitchen. During this time, Shi Yuanxing didn't even look up at Shi Qingman once.
Only the two of them remained in the kitchen.
Qin Shuzhi glanced at the man who was applying ice to her, and softly replied to his earlier question, "I'm not in pain."
"It's just a minor injury, I can handle it myself."
She glanced outside worriedly. "Your sister seems to need to talk to you about something. She seems quite angry. You should go first..."
"Ignore her."
Shi Yuanxing's face was cold and stern, but his voice was still gentle as he spoke to her, "Let's treat the wounds first."
Qin Shuzhi noticed his gaze remained fixed on her hands. His long, straight eyelashes obscured the emotions in his eyes, but his tense expression alone revealed them—
He was angry.
