Despite Yu Nanqing's bad expression, as soon as he saw Su Wanyan pick up her chopsticks, he quickly picked them up as well and started serving her food.
Before Su Wanyan could even reach for her chopsticks, venison had already been placed in her bowl.
She could only put her chopsticks back, pick up the food from her bowl and put it in her mouth: "I heard from Dai Zhiwan that the dancers who come to perform are blonde and blue-eyed, like goddesses descended from heaven. If you go to see them, won't your soul be stolen away? How can I bear to let you go?"
Yu Nanqing's face darkened: "Yan'er is talking nonsense!"
Despite complaining, he did a lot of work, serving her food while grumbling, "It's not like I haven't seen foreign women before."
Besides Yan'er, who else could steal his soul?
Yan'er loves to annoy him!
Su Wanyan was stunned: "You've seen it?"
"The people of the East China Sea are mostly blond and blue-eyed." He paused, then added, "Xining has the most, and in Xining, one could even call them angels. The East China Sea..."
In his eyes, the people of the East China Sea were like water ghosts.
"Are the people from the East Sea ugly?"
"..." Yu Nanqing choked for a moment, then ladled a bowl of soup for Su Wanyan: "Yan'er is the prettiest, Yan'er is the one who is as beautiful as an angel."
Su Wanyan suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! Judging from your reaction, you must look quite ugly."
"..." I wouldn't say he's ugly, but he looks very strange.
Foreigners are all the same.
But when it comes to the strange, there's definitely no one more strange than Xiao Chen, so Yu Nanqing chose to remain silent. He didn't know how to describe it if Su Wanyan pressed him for details.
"Anyway, I'm going to go with Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan on the tenth of June."
"..." Yu Nanqing's face darkened.
Seeing his expression, Su Wanyan smiled and put some food on his plate: "Why are you so upset? It's not because I want to see any foreign dancers, but because it's inconvenient for you, a man, to be there with the three of us women. If you go, will you sit at the same table or not? Otherwise... it would be so awkward for you to sit alone next to me."
That's the real reason we didn't take him.
"..." Yu Nanqing's expression remained unpleasant.
Su Wanyan ignored him, took a couple of bites, and then, as if remembering something, said, "By the way, have you heard about Zhen Yuhuai and Su Muqing? I heard people talking about it on the street today. Zhen Yuhuai committed suicide in prison, and Su Muqing died of illness. What do you think?"
Yu Nanqing pursed his lips and remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "The reputation of the Marquis of Yuanning has been preserved."
Yes, with Zhen Yuhuai and Su Muqing dead, the bad reputation of the Yuanning Marquis's mansion will not continue to fester. In a sense, it's more than just preserving their reputation.
The marriages of the illegitimate children in the household, and the future of Su Shiyan's two sons, will no longer be affected.
"So...you think Zhen Yuhuai sacrificed himself voluntarily? What about Su Muqing?"
Yu Nanqing's brows twitched slightly: "Is Yan'er very curious?"
Su Wanyan opened her big eyes wide: "Aren't you curious?"
"..." Yu Nanqing was indeed not curious. What did the affairs of the Marquis of Yuanning have to do with him?
“I heard from Dai Zhiwan that when the incident happened, Su Youwei went to the Imperial Study to see Emperor Yuanhe. That afternoon, Su Shiyan went to the prison. A few days later, Zhen Yuhuai hanged himself. If it was Su Shiyan who did it, he killed his sister and mother! Aren’t you surprised at all by this?”
Su Shiyan's actions saved the Marquis of Yuanning's mansion, but they also proved that he was ruthless and cold-blooded. Would anyone else have been able to do this to their own mother?
Of course, Su Youwei and Emperor Yuanhe were talking about more than just this simple matter, but Su Wanyan didn't think about that for the time being.
Yu Nanqing was naturally not surprised. He had been on military campaigns and traveled all over the country, and had seen even more astonishing things.
Yu Nanqing smiled and said, "I'm even more surprised that Yan'er could deduce what happened from just a few words."
Su Wanyan was speechless: "That's all very obvious. Yuanhe Capital has already openly given the Marquis of Yuanning's mansion a chance to rescue people, but Su Shiyan went there once and then news of Zhen Yuhuai's death came out. I can't help but think about it."
"Let's just be bystanders in this matter."
“Of course, I only told you, I didn’t mention it to anyone else.” Su Wanyan said, then suddenly looked at Yu Nanqing: “Hmm? So you didn’t deny it just now, does that mean you think the same way I do?”
Yu Nanqing's lips curled up even more as he picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and fed it to Su Wanyan: "I often feel that it is a very pleasant thing that I know what Yan'er thinks and Yan'er knows what I think."
“Of course, it’s best if we understand each other. I don’t want to argue over trivial matters; time is very precious,” Su Wanyan replied naturally.
Hearing this, Yu Nanqing's smile deepened: "Yes, Yan'er is right."
In late May, there were fewer activities in the city, but there were still markets. Su Wanyan went out twice, but then found them too crowded, and the weather was getting hotter, so she went out less often.
She asked Qiuye and Huangye to gather strange and unusual stories for her whenever they went out, and to tell them to her when they returned home, as a form of entertainment.
She also asked them to buy some books, as she had finished reading all the books she had bought before, and asked Qiuye and Huangye to bring her some new ones.
Actually, Su Wanyan wanted to go see Xiao Chensheng because she had some free time and wanted to ask him if he knew how to set bones, as she still had some skills in her system that she hadn't unlocked yet.
But then I thought, there's no rush, there's plenty of time later, so I gave up on it.
After all, Xiaochen was born in the Princess's residence, and she didn't get along with the Princess. Going there would only cause trouble.
Su Wanyan is now extremely bored in the Prince's mansion. Not only does she not have to do anything, but even the accounts are handled by Yu Nanqing himself.
Every day she spends her time drying herbs, tinkering with her pharmacy, feeding chickens, raising fish, and taking a nap when she has nothing else to do.
Although life was leisurely, it was also quite monotonous.
However, Su Wanyan did not insist, because she would take it one day at a time and didn't know what storms might come.
Yu Nanqing wasn't really idle all day. Although he spent most of his time with her, there were times when he would stay in his study all day without coming out.
Sometimes Su Wanyan would listen when she was in the mood, but more often she would wait until night and the two of them would lie in bed and whisper to each other.
Just when Su Wanyan thought she would stay like this until the tenth of June, someone unexpected came to the mansion.
That morning, Su Wanyan was planting a new batch of seeds in her small vegetable garden and was digging holes with a small shovel when Wang Zhang came in from outside the courtyard and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Su requests an audience outside the residence."
Su Wanyan paused, then looked up: "Lord Su?"
It wasn't Marquis Yuanning, otherwise Wang Zhang would have said Marquis Yuanning, and the Lord Su he mentioned...
Su Wanyan tentatively asked, "Su Shiyan?"
"Yes." Wang Zhang asked, "Shall we invite Lord Su into the residence?"
