Chapter 173 Asking Him to Do Something
In a daze, Shen Shuyao felt that everything around her had become quiet.
When she opened her eyes, she saw herself lying on top of the man.
The two were still in the carriage, but it had stopped.
"Are we there yet?" Chen Shuyao rubbed her eyes, sat up straight and asked.
Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Awake? Then go down!" Then he took the lead and stepped down.
Chen Shuyao followed closely behind, and Qiao Wei hurried forward to support her, but saw that the prince held his master's waist with both hands, and she fell to the ground in an instant.
It was not yet evening when Xiao Mo went to Mingzhe Hall.
Chen Shuyao asked the maid beside her: "How long will it take for the carriage to arrive?"
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "It didn't take long. The master woke up just after it stopped."
But she caught sight of the prince's departing figure from the corner of her eye, and she still said to her master, "Young lady, you can also go to Mingzhe Hall on weekdays and bring some soup or cakes."
Qiaowei never talks much, but there are times when she can't help herself.
Chen Shuyao looked at her and laughed for a moment: "You reminded me right! By the way, where were we yesterday? My maid is so beautiful, so do you want to find someone to bring soup or cakes?"
After hearing her words, Qiaowei blushed, and Huixiang started laughing first.
Even Zi Su and Dong Qing, who usually don't show their emotions, tried to hold back their laughter, looking like they were enjoying the show.
After returning home, Chen Shuyao first went to Chunhui Hall to meet Wang. In addition to reporting what had happened along the way, she also thanked her mother-in-law for the gifts she had prepared for her.
Wang was very happy that her daughter-in-law knew what was right and wrong and could not find any fault with her in terms of etiquette.
Then she asked her son, "Where's Mo'er? Why didn't he come with you?"
Chen Shuyao said sensibly, "The prince has returned to Mingzhe Hall. He is a man and he must do his own thing."
Wang was satisfied, but still said, "What could possibly happen at this hour? Hurry back to Yan Yu Hall; it's time for dinner."
Chen Shuyao nodded, and then slowly walked back with the maid. When they reached the door of Yan Yutang, they heard Wuying's voice coming from inside: "Master! The person from Chunfeng Tower asked to see you by name..."
Chen Shuyao paused for a moment and didn't go in anymore.
But they didn't hear Xiao Mo's reply. They thought the people inside noticed them approaching and lowered their voices.
Huixiang was walking behind and saw her daughter suddenly stop to admire the roses climbing on the courtyard wall, so she reached out and pinned one in her hair.
Chen Shuyao asked Qiao Wei: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Before Qiao Wei could answer, she heard Xiao Mo's voice behind her.
He was leaning against the gate, looking over here.
Chen Shuyao immediately put on a smile: "So the prince is here, I just told Dongqing to go to Mingzhe Hall and call him!"
Xiao Mo's brocade robe was shining golden in the setting sun, but he looked a little lazy and casual.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Really?"
"It's true." Chen Shuyao blinked and said affirmatively.
But then he asked, "You've been in the palace for so long, but you've never been to Mingzhe Hall, right?"
Chen Shuyao said silently in her heart: Of course, I have been married to you for only three days, and it is even more impossible for me to take the initiative to approach the residence of the prince of a mansion before that.
Seeing her looking over, the man added, "You can go there later."
When he said this, Chen Shuyao had already walked into the courtyard without considering the deeper meaning of his words.
When they arrived at Yan Yu Hall, Grandma Zheng had already had the food prepared and was waiting for the two masters.
The couple sat opposite each other, and Chen Shuyao did not go to Xiao Mo to serve him.
In her memory, her parents in Huzhou were the same.
Dad and Mom often sat on either side of the table, and they didn't need servants to serve them. They could just put whatever they liked into their bowls.
As for Ruan, Chen Shuyao had never seen her eat at the same table with her father.
So now, even though she knew that a woman had to serve her husband first, she still pretended to be ignorant.
After reading it, Nanny Zheng couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Chen Shuyao was eating happily. When she looked up and saw Xiao Mo didn't move his chopsticks, she asked, "Is the prince dissatisfied with the dishes?"
He smiled and shook his head.
Chen Shuyao looked at the nanny in the room who was staring at her eagerly. She finally finished the meatball she had just stuffed into her mouth. Then she stood up and walked to Xiao Mo's side. She helped him pick up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of him. "Then does the young master need Yaoyao to serve him for dinner?"
Xiao Mo pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit here."
Chen Shuyao sat down with a suspicious look on her face, and saw the man pick up a few pieces of spring bamboo shoots with his chopsticks and put them on the plate in front of her, and then he started eating.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyao was also satisfied and did not let her just look without eating.
But is it really okay for two people to eat so close to each other?
She also knows how to return a favor. If her husband takes the initiative to serve her, she doesn't mind doing more.
Next, Chen Shuyao took advantage of the opportunity to help the other person pick up a few more pieces with her chopsticks, and she herself did not forget to eat.
Nanny Zheng watched from the side and felt that her daughter's behavior was inappropriate, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
The nanny was in a dilemma, so she heard Xiao Mo say, "Mammy, go and have dinner!"
After seeing Madam Zheng leave, Chen Shuyao immediately picked up a piece of steamed fish, carefully picked out the bones, and placed it in the other woman's bowl, "Husband...Husband! Eat fish!"
In fact, she always knew that this was the most appropriate name to use after they got married, but she just couldn't bring herself to call it out.
Xiao Mo paused while eating: "What did Yaoyao call me?"
Chen Shuyao called out again with an awkward look: "Husband!"
"Husband..." the person next to him muttered, and then laughed deeply.
Chen Shuyao seized the opportunity and took another piece of fish. "That was Madam Zheng from my room. She was separated from her son due to the flood before coming to the Xu family. Madam Zheng has been unable to let go for so many years. She always thought the child was still alive. Husband...husband, do you have any way to find him?"
Xiao Mo frowned after hearing this: "Flood? Where did it happen? When was the year, month, and day?"
Chen Shuyao then told the story one by one according to what the nanny said. The master and servant had been together for many years, and they had already memorized the same few sentences over and over again.
Xiao Mo pondered for a moment and said, "You said the child was six years old when he was separated from the nanny. So he's twenty-two now. Knowing his name shouldn't be difficult to find. But... based on what you've described, I advise you not to get your hopes too high."
Shen Shuyao nodded, and saw the person next to her pointing at the plate of fish and saying, "You can change the dish."
She smiled and immediately picked up the spoon to help the other person scoop a spoonful of soup: "Husband, drink the soup."
Calling him "husband" is much smoother this time. Once you do something for the first time, the rest will become natural.
Xiao Mo hummed, scooped a spoonful for her, and asked with a smile while drinking, "Is there anything else you want to ask of your husband?"
So shameless!
Chen Shuyao cursed in her heart and was not polite to him, "My maid is old, but I can't find a suitable person."
The person opposite laughed for a moment, and he said that this person was both a husband and a fishbone picker, and indeed he had a purpose, and more than one.
He patiently said, "You can take a look at my guards. If there's no suitable one, there are countless bachelors in the Imperial Guards. But they're far away, so you might not be interested. It's better to look among the guards! Otherwise, the housekeepers in the palace will also do. Aren't you going to be the housekeeper soon?"
Chen Shuyao's eyebrows jumped. This person's words were really to the point. There were indeed many people in the imperial guards, but neither she nor the two maids would be willing.
As for the guards, the only ones whose names she knew so far were Wuming and Wuying. These two often came into contact with them, and Shen Shuyao did not see any possibility that they had any connection with her maid.
Xiao Mo actually considered that he would soon become the housekeeper!
Chen Shuyao lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "Then Yaoyao would like to thank you, my husband!"
