Wenxue's hands were itching; she wanted to chop up Lei Nianren's pork stall!
"Miss, I think it's your problem."
Wenxue had already secretly decided to beat up Lei Nianren that night, but she still dutifully reminded Chuanwen.
Chuanwen was taken aback, and Wenxue said, "Why do you always have the chef make braised pork? Can't we make something else?"
Woohoo!
"Oh, right!" Chuanwen suddenly realized. After eating it for so many days, she still couldn't taste Er Gou's flavor. Well, let it go then. She sent someone to instruct the kitchen not to make braised pork with that piece of pork, and to let the chef do as he pleases.
The three chefs in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Chuanwen wouldn't eat braised pork anymore. Even if Chuanwen didn't feel nauseous from eating it, they would feel nauseous from making it again.
So, at the dinner table, Chuanwen saw a variety of pork dishes, including sweet and sour shredded pork, pork and shrimp balls, glutinous rice and pork rolls, and crystal pork dumplings.
Why isn't there braised pork today?
Marquis Changxing was curious, but not because he missed him; rather, he felt relieved.
Chuanwen's lips twitched slightly. "It's just that I asked you to make braised pork for a few more days, is it really necessary to show off like this! It's like you're trying to tell everyone you can do more than just braised pork!"
The others buried themselves in their food. Although braised pork was served at every dinner, and they didn't necessarily eat it, they were tired of seeing it. Today's dishes, though all meat, looked refreshing.
After the meal, Marquis Changxing rewarded the cook and all the maids and servants who worked in the kitchen. Chuanwen was even more embarrassed. Otherwise, he would have done a set of dark, twisted crawling.
That night, a cool breeze blew in through the window. Chuanwen, unusually, couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed, thinking: [I wonder when Ergou will be back?]
So she went to find out about Er Gou's situation. The Qianniu Guards lying in ambush nearby all pricked up their ears, because when Chuanwen mentioned Er Gou, he would inevitably talk about the situation in Xiao Liang Kingdom. Xiao Liang Kingdom was exactly what the emperor cared about. When the emperor sent them to secretly protect Chuanwen, he specifically instructed them that if they heard any information about important national affairs, they must report it to him immediately.
But, [Hiss! Hiss! Er Gou's physique is so good... broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, hiss... eight-pack abs! Hiss!]
Chuanwen's attention was fixed on Er Gou taking a bath, and she was so excited she almost had a nosebleed. However, in her excitement, she belatedly realized, "Ahhh! Am I acting like a voyeur?!"
They strained their ears, ready to hear how Su Heng had single-handedly defeated several Imperial Guards in the perilous Liang Kingdom: ...
You're not just a bit like a voyeur, you *are* a voyeur!
[Whatever, whatever! Let him be a voyeur! At least he's my own husband!]
Chuanwen continued shamelessly admiring Er Gou's physique, and not only did he admire it, but he also went on a tirade, exclaiming, "Wow! What does it mean to look slim in clothes but muscular underneath?!"
Hahaha! What incredible luck I've struck!
[Huff! Huff! Huff!]
My face is flushed and my heart is pounding...
Several Imperial Guards froze, covering their faces in embarrassment. So, this second daughter of the Chuan family is more than fifteen years old? What kind of fifteen-year-old girl is so lewd?!
When Wenxue returned after beating up Lei Nianren, she had just stepped onto the roof when she heard Chuanwen's heart-wrenching scream. Startled, she thought Xu Wuyou had finally made her move. She stomped through the roof and swiftly fell down. But when she landed and looked around, she didn't see the scene of someone kidnapping Chuanwen that she had imagined. Instead, she saw Chuanwen sitting on the bed with a blanket in her arms, her face buried in the blanket, her two big eyes looking at her in surprise.
"Are you...are you alright?"
Wenxue was a little confused about what was going on, and Chuanwen was equally confused. She shook her head blankly, "N-nothing."
"oh."
Wen Xue scanned the entire room to make sure that there was no one else besides Chuan Wen and herself before she felt a little awkward.
"Then you should go to sleep early. Um, I'll go fix the roof now!"
Wenxue pointed to the rooftop where the large moon was shining, went out through the door, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her for Chuanwen.
Message: ? ? ?
Then Wenxue repaired the roof until midnight. The next day, both Chuanwen and Wenxue had big dark circles under their eyes, which startled the old lady of Changxing Marquis who came to see Chuanwen.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
The old lady pulled Chuanwen aside with concern and asked, "I have insomnia." Chuanwen sighed and said, "I have insomnia."
Last night, I got so excited watching Er Gou that I couldn't sleep at all. Then Wen Xue started fixing the roof, which kept me up. Even after Wen Xue calmed down, I still couldn't fall asleep and stayed up until dawn.
As for Wenxue, she dared not sleep either, fearing that if she wasn't careful, Xu Wuyou might make a move against Chuanwen!
The old lady was heartbroken as she held the listless Chuanwen in her arms. She had originally wanted to talk to Chuanwen, but she stopped now. She took Chuanwen into the room, covered her with a thin blanket, and fanned her to lull her to sleep.
Chuan Wen was a little touched. Ever since she learned that this was a novel world, she had always had a playful attitude towards it. Apart from her parents, brother, Er Gou and Su Yue, she cared more about the others. Everyone else was more like a passerby to her.
But listening to the cicadas chirping outside the window and feeling the gentle breeze, the old lady, like an ordinary grandmother, coaxed her children and grandchildren to sleep. This heartwarming moment touched Chuanwen.
After feeling at ease, Chuanwen quickly fell asleep and slept until dusk. When she woke up, the old lady was no longer there, but Biyu saw that she was awake and hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring her a bowl of porridge, saying that the old lady had made it herself and kept it warm on the stove so that she could eat it warm whenever she woke up.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, Chuanwen felt warm both in his stomach and in his heart.
After stretching, Chuanwen felt refreshed and ready to get to work!
Wenxue was resting by the door, holding her sword. When Chuanwen called her over, she was a little confused. "Miss, where are we going?"
"Go find Yutian!"
Chuanwen walked ahead, his steps never faltering. But Wenxue's steps were not so smooth; she had just beaten someone up last night.
"Why go find him?"
Wenxue was very confused. It was already dusk, and if they didn't make it back for dinner, Marquis Changxing and the others would be worried!
Although Chuanwen has always prioritized being a good cook, she has now made infrastructure construction her top priority due to her high level of awareness!
Go tell him some good news!
——
The two arrived at the south gate of the city but did not see Lei Nianren's stall. They asked the owner of a nearby stall for directions to his residence and found it.
When Chuanwen saw Lei Nianren's bruised and swollen face, he was a little stunned. "What happened to you?"
Last night, when Wen Xue came to beat up Lei Nianren, although she was masked, the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist still gave her away. So Lei Nianren, who recognized her, didn't shout, and was beaten quite badly.
He guessed that Wen Xue probably knew his identity, otherwise he couldn't think of any reason why Wen Xue would beat him up.
