Chapter 572 I'm Not Submissive
Su Nuan's face flushed red, she punched his shoulder and said, "Put me down."
Ling Yun paused, his face full of disapproval, "You are injured and need to see a doctor."
Su Nuan said with a helpless smile: "I am the doctor, put me down quickly."
Ling Yun finally realized what a stupid thing he had done. His ears turned red and he put the person down in a panic.
Su Nuan quickly pushed him away and said, "Hurry up and cook. The sun will soon set."
Ling Yun lowered his head and followed Su Nuan into the kitchen.
Fortunately, everyone busy in the kitchen lowered their heads and looked down, which made the two of them less embarrassed.
Since there were many people living in the inn, Su Nuan asked the cooks to prepare more food and send it over.
By the time dinner started at the City Lord's Mansion, the sun had already set.
Bai Chen and Ouyang Xing sat at the table openly, not at all restrained.
The old lady carefully examined their faces, nodded, and said with a smile, "Let's start eating."
There is a glass lamp hanging above the large eight-immortals table, providing good lighting.
The meal was very quiet, showing everyone's good manners.
After dinner, Ling Cang said, "Please go to the flower hall for tea."
Bai Chen looked at Su Nuan, "Aren't you going?"
Su Nuan wanted to stay and clean up the dining room, so she shook her head and said, "Just chat."
Ling Yun said, "You go talk to them, I'll take care of these."
Su Nuan was shocked again. A grown man cleaning the dishes?
Xue smiled and said, "You all go and get busy. Someone else will take care of this."
Su Nuan was worried that Xue would do everything herself, so she asked, "Mother, have you ever considered buying two maids?"
Xue knew that Su Nuan was worried about her, so she smiled and said, "Not yet. We have helpers at home, so I won't be burdened."
The old lady patted Su Nuan's hand with a smile and said, "It's easy to buy maids and servants, but not just anyone can enter our house."
She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, "There's no rush for this. I'll wait until I meet the right person."
Su Nuan understood immediately. She wasn't familiar with the new arrivals in the mansion, so who knew if they were reliable? She'd better wait until they were around for a while and get to know their character better.
Ling Yun urged from the side: "I can't help you guys with the business, but leave these trivial tasks to me!"
Su Nuan was amused by her, "Okay, thank you for your help then."
Ling Yun blushed and started to clean up the dishes.
Su Nuan followed Ling Cang and the others to the flower hall. She felt a little depressed as soon as she entered.
There are no maids in the mansion, so I have to do the job of serving tea and water myself.
She walked towards the tea room next to her, but Ling Cang held her shoulders.
"Sit down, I'll get the charcoal stove."
Su Nuan's heart was filled with the sweet feeling of being pampered, and she sat down obediently at the small eight-immortal table.
Bai Chen looked at Su Nuan and then at Ling Cang. He didn't say anything and sat down on a stool across from Su Nuan.
Ouyang Xing followed behind Ling Cang and asked foolishly, "Aren't you her husband? Shouldn't she be the one serving tea and water?"
"You're not pretending in front of us, are you? Then you'll argue with her when no one is around."
Ling Cang looked at Ouyang Xing in astonishment. What was this kid thinking? How could he be such a hypocrite?
Bai Chen looked at Su Nuan and smiled awkwardly, "My brother is tired and his mind is not clear. Please don't be offended."
Su Nuan sighed softly, a faint smile on her lips, "It's good this way. He's heartless now and says whatever he wants. In a few years..."
Her voice dropped. "When I grow up, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this cheerful energy."
Bai Chen's brows were twisted into a knot. He stared at the scenery outside the door in a daze. His Adam's apple moved, but in the end he said nothing.
But at this moment, those eyes were filled with unrelieved sorrow.
The autumn wind swirls the dead leaves, just like the youthful years that are destined to disappear.
How long can that sincere heart stay alive in this world?
Soon, Ling Cang came out with a tray. Su Nuan stood up, took the charcoal stove and put it on the table.
Ling Cang added charcoal to the charcoal stove and lit it.
Su Nuan placed the teapot filled with water on the charcoal stove again.
The two of them cooperated with each other very well and smoothly.
Ling Cang sat down next to Su Nuan very naturally and said with a smile, "I see you brought a lot of things. Do you have a list of goods?"
Bai Chen pulled out a booklet from his pocket, placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Ling Cang, "This is a record of the goods I brought and the prices I paid for them."
Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan. No businessman would show the purchase price to the other buyer.
Could it be that they have some leverage over Su Nuan? So this is like an apology?
Su Nuan didn't notice Ling Cang's questioning look. She reached out and grabbed the booklet, flipped through it casually, and then handed it to Ling Cang.
Ouyang Xing gasped, her eyes widening. "If you're disrespectful to your husband like this, won't he...won't he hit you?"
Su Nuan was stunned when she heard this. In the past, she was still the well-behaved daughter of a marquis.
Ling Cang is still the serious general. There will probably always be a distance between the two of them, like guests respecting each other. How could they be as comfortable as they are now?
Ling Cang flipped through the booklet without even looking up, the papers rustling. "Oh? How was she disrespectful?"
The tone was as calm as if they were discussing today's weather.
Ouyang Xing bit her lower lip and mustered up the courage to speak: "As the 'Nujie' says, a woman should regard her husband as her heaven. How can... how can she steal something?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways and suddenly found it funny.
They had been through thick and thin together, from the initial unfamiliarity and wariness to the current tacit understanding and ease, and there was no need for these false formalities between her and Ling Cang any longer.
But then she thought, wasn't her confidence cultivated bit by bit by the Ling family? They let her make trouble, indulged her laughter, and never forced her to follow any rules.
Su Nuan pursed her lips. She seemed to have never felt any pressure in getting along with others...except Ling Yun.
The kindness of my grandmother, the goodness of my mother-in-law, the respect of my sister-in-law, the protection of my husband...
If another family’s daughter-in-law could receive any of these, it would be a great blessing from heaven.
Su Nuan's heart was filled with happiness, and she couldn't help but smile.
Ouyang Xing said with a look of dismay, "Tell me, has he ever hit you?"
"If he's the kind of person who's two-faced, I'll... I'll send troops to beat him up."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Silly boy, do you think I'm the kind of person who would just accept things as they come?"
"Don't worry, Ling Cang treats me very well, and the kind of thing you described will never happen."
Ling Cang added, "Even if someone gets beaten, it's Ling Yun who gets beaten. He deserves it."
Su Nuan: "..." Is there anyone who would be so mean to his own brother?
Ouyang Xing's eyes glared and he asked, "Did Ling Yun bully you?"
Su Nuan quickly shook her head, "No, no."
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that most of the unpleasantness in the past was caused by misunderstandings, and Ling Yun really didn't bully me.
At this moment, Ling Yun walked in with a cold face. He stared at Ouyang Xing and looked him up and down.
