Although Jiang Si had a premonition, he was still shocked when he heard Yu Jin actually say this, as if the fog that had been lingering in his heart for a long time was dispelled.
It is indeed a difficult road, and even once they succeed they may not be happy. But since they are involved, instead of being on guard against people harming them all day long, and waiting for others to plot against them before counterattacking, why not reach the highest position so that the vast majority of people dare not act rashly?
Being passive was not Jiang Si's choice. Even in her previous life, she was competitive, otherwise she would not have insisted on marrying into the Anguo Mansion.
Of course, facts have proven that it is wrong to fight blindly, and it has also given Jiang Si a profound lesson, but things engraved in a person's bones are difficult to change. At least when the situation forces her to fight, she will never retreat, let alone be afraid of anyone.
Seeing Jiang Si was silent, Yu Jin felt a little guilty: "Ah Si, are you unhappy——"
Jiang Si pursed her lips and smiled: "Why wouldn't I be happy if I could win a crown to wear?"
Now that you have made a decision, there is no need to worry about losing your freedom after success. The right thing to do is to achieve your goal first.
Yu Jin saw that Jiang Si was speaking from the heart and laughed out loud: "Well, I will fight for you to win the phoenix crown!"
After the serious matter was discussed, someone's eyes darkened and he stared at his daughter-in-law with a fiery look.
"Asi——"
"Um?"
"Why not just take a shower and go to bed." Poor him, he has been a vegetarian for more than two months. It's not easy!
"It's not time for dinner yet, stop daydreaming."
Yu Jin pulled Jiang Si over, no longer showing the ambition he had just now, and leaned against her neck in a naughty manner: "I don't care, I miss you."
Jiang Si's face gradually turned red, but she was not too shy. She whispered, "Then... don't delay dinner..."
It wouldn't be a big deal to skip a meal, but the two of them stayed in the room and didn't go out. Anyone could guess what was going on.
But Jiang Si finally underestimated someone's strength. When the lilac gauze bed curtain finally stopped swaying, the crescent moon had already hung on the treetops.
Jiang Sihun felt weak all over and glanced at Yu Jin: "You don't know how to restrain yourself at all. Now, I don't know how Aqiao and the others will laugh behind your back."
Yu Jin looked refreshed: "No."
"Why not? Don't fool yourself."
"I mean they're used to it..."
In the ear room, Ah Man, who was watching over the small stove, swallowed his saliva and said, "Ah Qiao, the pork elbow is stewed till soft and crispy, and it has rock sugar. It smells really good!"
Ah Qiao sat down next to Ah Man, smelled the aroma and nodded: "Hmm, it smells really good."
Ah Man opened the lid and poked it with a chopstick. The crystal-clear skin trembled, and the chopstick went in smoothly.
She put the lid back on, licked her lips and asked her friend, "I think the master and the prince won't get up until tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
Ah Qiao nodded again: "I think so too."
The two maids looked at each other, and Ah Man was the first to speak: "Then...why don't we eat?"
"Yeah." Aqiao nodded readily.
The two maids were nestling in the ear room and eating pork elbows happily. As for the shameless lives of their masters... ahem, they were used to it, so who cared?
Yu Jin woke up in the middle of the night because he was hungry.
After staring at the ceiling for a while, he couldn't help but touch the person next to him.
Jiang Si was awakened, glared at Yu Jin, and said in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"
Yu Jin felt no guilt for waking up his wife: "Asi, are you hungry?"
Jiang Si rolled his eyes, no longer sleepy, and said helplessly: "I could have slept until dawn and had breakfast, but you woke me up, so of course I'm hungry."
Who wouldn’t be hungry if they consumed so much even though they didn’t have dinner?
"I wonder what to have for dinner tonight."
Jiang Si was very dissatisfied with the fact that someone had woken up hungry and still insisted on asking her to accompany him, so she retaliated: "I asked Aqiao to stew pork elbow with rock sugar."
"Ice, rock sugar pork elbow?" Yu Jin's voice changed.
Jiang Si nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I asked someone to buy the elbow early in the morning. They specially selected the front hoof, which has a lot of fresh meat. It is most delicious when stewed."
"It's still warming up in the kitchen?"
"Not in the main kitchen. Ah Qiao is a master at making pork elbow in rock sugar. She cooks it in the small kitchen in our yard. When it's almost cooked, she moves it to the side room and keeps it warm on the small stove so that we can eat it anytime."
Yu Jin's eyes lit up immediately and he sat up: "Asi, wait a minute, I'll go to the ear room to take a look."
As he put on his clothes and shoes, he sighed, "No wonder I smelled a fragrance from time to time. I thought it was an illusion."
It is said that food and sex are part of human nature. He finally shared a room with his wife, and the aroma of meat that kept coming into his nose made him think that he had been holding it in for too long. While hugging Asi, he actually had the illusion of eating braised pork.
For this, he felt a little guilty. After all, Ah Si's position in his heart was much better than that of braised pork. How could he have such an illusion?
It turned out that it was not an illusion, the pork elbow was really stewed with rock sugar!
It has become a habit that the maids don't need to keep watch whenever the two of them rest together. Yu Jin quickly put on her shoes and went to the ear room.
Soon, the heavy footsteps returned.
Jiang Si felt something was wrong when he heard the footsteps, and with the help of the night light he saw someone's handsome face turned black.
His usually powerful steps seemed a little weak, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
As soon as he reached the bed, Yu Jin said with a sad face, "The candied pork elbow is gone!"
God knows how I felt when I woke up in the middle of the night and found out that there was a pork elbow stewing next door. I rushed over excitedly only to see the bottom of the pot covered with sauce.
To be honest, he really wanted to rush out with the pot and hit someone.
"Then go to sleep. You can have dinner when it gets light." Jiang Si comforted.
She could understand the loss that a hungry person would feel when he found that the delicious food he had been craving for was missing.
Yu Jin had no choice but to take off his shoes silently, go to bed, and pull the quilt over himself.
I don't know how long it took, he turned sideways, propped up his chin with one hand and said, "Asi."
Jiang Si, who was about to go to sleep, looked over.
"Do you think Erniu stole the candied pork elbow?"
Jiang Si hesitated for a moment, struggling between the trusted maid and the big dog, and finally made a decision: "Maybe, Erniu likes to eat pork elbows."
The two maids could not withstand the beating from the maid, so Erniu ran fast and could protect himself.
Yu Jin's expression looked a little bit sly in the dim light, and he cursed softly, "This piece of shit!"
There was no conversation after that. They finally waited until dawn. Yu Jin jumped up, washed up quickly, and went to talk to Er Niu.
Early in the morning, people in Yuheyuan saw a slender figure chasing a big dog everywhere.
Ah Man held the tray and blinked: "Why is the prince chasing Erniu?"
Ah Qiao shook her head: "I don't know, maybe Erniu caused the trouble."
Erniu cried out twice in grievance.
What's the master doing so crazy so early in the morning?
