Chapter 375 I Will Pamper You Forever
Su Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to Ling Yun and only looked at Ling Cang.
Ling Cang pondered for a moment and said, "If we go back, we are not prepared. If we take a dead end and can't come back, we will starve to death."
"Nuannuan has flying snow, you can go and take a look in the sky. If there is a treasure hidden there, it will definitely be different."
This is an excuse. If I didn't say this, Ling Yun would definitely not leave.
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't going to starve to death, but she wasn't sure if she could come back after going in.
The three of them returned the same way, but when they reached the second intersection, they were all dumbfounded.
They didn't see any holes on the top floor along the way, and there was no mark made by Su Nuan on the opposite fork in the road, so this was not the route they originally took.
The three of them stood at the fork in the road. It was the last torch left and they were a little at a loss.
Su Nuan looked up and found that Ling Cang and Ling Yun were both looking at her. She was speechless and felt as if they were putting their lives on her shoulders.
She simply sat down on the ground and held the torch between her feet.
"Sit down and rest for a while. I have three more pancakes here."
Ling Cang wanted to laugh when he saw Su Nuan taking out three plump white steamed buns from her backpack.
How insecure this girl is, she actually carries three days' worth of food with her at all times.
Ling Cang actually guessed correctly that the food in Su Nuan's backpack was not taken from the space. She was very hungry in her previous life, so she has never felt safe since her rebirth.
She would put food in her backpack every day so that she wouldn't starve even if the space suddenly became unusable.
The three of them ate the bread and sat by the torch, not knowing what to say, so they could only remain silent.
Ling Yun suddenly said, "Brother, what do you think we should do about...that person now?"
Ling Cang sighed, "No matter what, he is our father. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for mother, let him be."
Ling Yun snorted unwillingly, "Where's that woman? Shouldn't she be killed?"
Su Nuan immediately understood that they were talking about her stepfather-in-law and his concubine.
She asked tentatively: "Can't we get a divorce?"
Ling Yun shook his head, "Why should we divorce? That woman has no status, she's not even qualified to be a concubine, and she wants to be a co-wife."
Ling Cang didn't say anything. He felt that talking about his parents was a bit unfilial.
Su Nuan also felt that divorce was unrealistic. The old lady would not recognize her son but her daughter-in-law. If they divorced, the old lady would definitely not live with Xue. She was a person who cared about her reputation.
Su Nuan was a little annoyed at the moment and asked, "What else do your two bed warmers usually do besides warming the bed?"
Ling Cang and Ling Yun both stared at Su Nuan, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ling Cang laughed and said, "We don't have a bed warmer, what would your bed warmer do?"
Su Nuan didn't expect that there was no bed-warming maid in the general's mansion, while her own father had two bed-warming maids.
She thought for a moment and said, "Besides warming the bed, I also have to serve the mistress. However, my job is lower than that of a personal maid, but slightly higher than a foot-washing maid."
Ling Cang nodded, "So that's how it is. What's that woman's name... Peony? She sounds like a prostitute."
"Since you are neither a wife nor a concubine, then you are a bed warmer. It would be nice to stay and serve the mistress."
Ling Yun's originally stern face suddenly cleared up, and he smiled and said, "Yes, I'll tell mother when I get home."
Su Nuan nodded, "To marry a wife, one must worship heaven and earth and obtain a marriage certificate. To take a concubine, one must have a concubine certificate. And only men of fifth rank or above and thirty years old without children can take a concubine. My father-in-law doesn't meet these two requirements, so Mudan can only be a bed warmer."
A few words from these three people determined Mudan's future fate...
Su Nuan smiled again and said, "Don't panic when encountering problems. First think about how to turn the situation around and turn disadvantages into advantages."
"I believe that mother and grandmother working together will definitely be able to subdue that peony."
Ling Yun and Ling Cang nodded in unison, and excitement gleamed in the eyes of the three of them.
At this moment, there was a sound of stone rubbing against each other, and the passage ahead moved horizontally.
Su Nuan saw the marked passage and said, "Let's go. We can find the entrance to the cave ahead."
However, they found the entrance to the cave, but there was no hole at the gap, only rocks.
Su Nuan said helplessly: "It seems that we haven't reached the place where we came down yet. I wonder how long it will take to go around here and return to the starting point."
Ling Cang looked at the torch, which was about to go out. He called out, "Xiao Yun, come here and help me get up."
Ling Yun didn't know what he was going to do, but he still carried Ling Cang on his shoulders.
Ling Cang removed the wood from above and threw it on the ground. "Find a way to light it, otherwise we can only wait in the dark."
Lingyun was speechless. Is it really okay to burn the valuable golden nanmu wood as firewood?
Su Nuan didn't feel sorry at all. She took out a dagger, scratched the surface of the wood, and then placed the torch on it.
The tunnel was very dry, so the wood was also dry. After a while, blue flames began to emerge from the golden nanmu wood.
Su Nuan stared at the blue flame in a daze. It seemed that this thing would be good for playing tricks.
Ling Yun said distressedly: "This is golden nanmu, such a large piece can be sold for a lot of money."
Su Nuan asked calmly, "In the current situation, do you think money is more important or lighting and heating?"
The tomb passage is very cold and if you stop and don't walk, you will soon shiver from the cold.
Ling Yun said, "Using Qigong can resist the cold. After all, we are just waiting, and waiting in the dark is no different."
Su Nuan nodded and pointed upwards, saying, "I think the fire in the cave has gone out. The firebird was almost burnt out when we came down. There was no light at that time, and we wouldn't be able to see it even if we turned to the cave."
Ling Yun was silent. Indeed, without the light of the fire, he wouldn't be able to see the correct spot even if he reached it. Did they have to pile up on top of each other and keep groping? That would consume too much energy.
Su Nuan said calmly, "Making the best use of things is the right choice. In certain circumstances, we should consider not value but function."
"For example, in front of someone who is starving to death, a steamed bun is always more valuable than silver."
Ling Yun continued to remain silent. Su Nuan was right, but he felt really uncomfortable being taught a lesson by a little woman.
Ling Cang smiled and said, "People always have to make choices. Just like me, although my body is not as I wish, I am still alive. Living allows me to see many things and enjoy the sunshine and the bright moon."
After saying that, Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan again, "Nuan Nuan, I can't give you happiness, but I can be your brother and spoil you all my life."
"So please consider Xiaoyun. Although he is still young and unromantic, I will teach him more and help him learn how to be a qualified husband."
Su Nuan was playing with a dagger. When she heard this, she was so startled that the dagger fell and the entire blade sank into the ground.
"Wha…what?"
She looked at Ling Yun, whose expression did not change. It seemed that he had already known what Ling Cang meant.
At this moment, Ling Yun felt that since everything had been said openly, Su Nuan had no reason to refuse. After all, between a healthy person and an unhealthy person, any fool would choose the healthy one.
