Chapter 30 Ideals and Fantasies



The two of them were silent for a moment. Qiu Ling couldn't help but chuckled and said, "It's normal for Grandma to hate the Prince. After all, the Prince had sent her to Meiyue Tower to fend for herself. Who wouldn't hate her? But then again, didn't Grandpa hate Grandma to the core before? Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a cruel thing. Why did he change his attitude now? Why did you suddenly go to Meiyue Tower?"

"I went to Meiyue Tower in the beginning just to see if the three of them were starving to death..." When talking about this, Duan Tingxuan began to talk nonstop, from the leek dumplings at the beginning to the fried cakes and soy milk later, and the pork sauce and so on. When he talked about the snow cotton bean paste, there was a "gulp" sound, and the young marquis, who was talking excitedly, suddenly stopped talking. When he looked carefully, he saw that the old grandmother's eyes were shining, like a wolf that had not eaten for several days. The sound just now was obviously the old lady swallowing her saliva.

"Ancestor...grandmother..."

Duan Tingxuan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. His grandmother's eyes were too scary, as if she could pounce on him and bite off a piece of meat from him at any time. He called out tentatively, but before he could finish his words, the old lady slapped him hard and scolded him vigorously, "You bastard, you had such a good thing and didn't even tell me to give some to honor me, you stole it all."

"Without grandma, your grandson still misses you." Duan Tingxuan jumped up, but Grandma Fang didn't believe his explanation at all. She gritted her teeth and said, "Nonsense, then why didn't I see any snow cotton bean paste? Didn't you eat it all? You still dare to say that you are filial. Siping knows to take that thing back to honor his mother, what about you?"

As Grandma Fang was talking, she was still not satisfied and reached out to touch her dragon-headed walking stick. The originally harmonious grandparents and grandchildren turned against each other for a few pieces of snow-mian bean paste. The maids were at a loss as they watched the old lady chase the young marquis at full speed. The young marquis did not forget to explain with specious arguments: "Grandma, your grandson was thinking about you. The snow-mian bean paste was cold when I brought it back. You will have a stomachache if you eat it. Besides, there are only a few pieces in total, and it is not enough to share. In order not to cause disputes, your grandson can only eat those pieces with tears..."

"You bastard, how dare you confuse right and wrong? Do you think I, an old woman, can be fooled easily?"

The old lady Fang's powerful roar could be heard outside the house. The energy it released shocked and delighted the servants in the house. They were shocked that the old lady would be so angry over a few snacks. She was a person who always paid attention to rules and dignity. They were delighted by the spirit and energy contained in the roar. It would not be a problem for the old lady to live another 20 or 30 years. Their big backer was very solid.

"I don't care. You have to make me two or three hundred Snow Mian Dou Sha today, no matter what you say, otherwise I won't be able to live."

On the balcony of Meiyue Tower, Su Nuannuan, who was checking various ingredients, suddenly stood up and snorted, "I was wondering why you were so kind today and brought two baskets of eggs. It turns out it was for this. What? You want to use my things to please your wives and concubines? I'm telling you, don't even think about it."

"How can I care about them now?" The young marquis was about to cry. "Didn't you hear? Yesterday, the old lady chased me for two miles because I forgot about her when I ate snow floss bean paste last time. From childhood to adulthood, I have never suffered such injustice. Is it that serious? It's just a few snow floss bean pastes, right?"

Although she despised the scumbag, Su Nuannuan was speechless after hearing such a powerful reason: Oh my God, is this Anping Marquis Mansion a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden? It's not enough to have a hidden foodie like Duan Tingxuan, is that the old lady actually a fighter among foodies? That's why she burst out with such a strong fighting power because of the snowy bean paste? That's... a confidant.

"Anyway, you should make the snow-white bean paste first. Even my father, who is indifferent, called me over after the morning court today and pretended to be humble to ask me what snow-white bean paste is?" When Duan Tingxuan thought of his father's hypocritical face, who obviously wanted to eat it but pretended to be indifferent, his face twitched. He wanted to slap himself twice: I told you to be so proud and forget yourself. Why did you mention snow-white bean paste in front of the old lady? Now, even the always noble father has fallen.

This time, Su Nuannuan did not embarrass Duan Tingxuan. She happily made hundreds of snow-soft bean pastes. Anyway, she was not the one who was tired. Didn’t she see that the little marquis who was stirring the eggs could no longer lift his arms? Hehe! This is called retribution in this life.

Seeing Duan Tingxuan instructing a few servants to take the snow-white bean paste and walk away, Honglian wondered, "Grandma, why are you so easy to talk to today? Hundreds of snow-white bean pastes, and I asked you to make them. You did it so readily, which really surprised me."

"What do you want to say?" Su Nuannuan glanced at her, but saw Honglian covering her lips and smiling, and whispered: "Could it be that grandma has changed her mind?"

"I knew you were daydreaming again." Su Nuannuan sneered, waved her hand and said seriously: "I'll say it again, I am still as cold and ruthless to scumbags as winter. As for why I agreed to him so readily today, firstly, the food he sent was rich; secondly, don't you think the scene of your grandfather being so tired that he couldn't lift his arms is very pleasing to the eye? As for the third benefit, haha, you say, if I use food to win over the old lady and let her beat the scumbag three times a day with a dragon head cane, such a good thing, I am really happy just thinking about it."

Honglian was sweating, thinking that women are the most vicious. Beat him three times a day? Do you think I am a dog? Yin quickly persuaded her earnestly, "Grandma, it's impossible. Don't think I am talking so much. In fact, the old lady is just trying to scare him. How could the old lady really beat me? And three times a day? I am your favorite grandson."

"I know. I'm just fantasizing to cheer myself up." Su Nuannuan glared at the spoiler and said, "Honglian, you have to remember that people need to have dreams. People without dreams are no different from salted fish."

"Is it grandma's dream to let the old lady beat me three times a day?" Honglian asked cautiously.

"Well, one of my dreams." Su Nuannuan smiled and then waved her hand: "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Come, let's move all these ingredients into the kitchen. Well, it seems that our kitchen is a bit small now. Let's see if Duan Tingxuan can send someone to expand it one day. Anyway, these rooms are not occupied, so we can connect them and use half as the kitchen and the other half as the warehouse."

Duan Tingxuan brought a lot of things. Su Nuannuan and Honglian only carried two bags of rice, and they were already exhausted and panting. She swung her arms and wondered to herself, "Honglian, do you think your grandfather is lying to me? He asked me to do horse stance and said he would teach me breathing exercises. It's been three days, but why don't I see any effect? ​​I still don't have the strength."

"It's only been three days, what effect do you expect grandma to achieve? Lifting a thousand pounds?" Honglian looked speechlessly at her master who had no self-awareness.

"That's the skill point of King Chu. I'm certainly not so unrealistic, but lifting 100 kilograms shouldn't be a problem, right?" Su Nuannuan swung her arms and gritted her teeth as she said solemnly, "I seriously suspect that Duan Tingxuan is fooling me."

"Grandma, you have no evidence. Besides, it's only been three days. You're already that old, and you're a woman..."

Honglian wanted to say a few fair words for Duan Tingxuan, but before she could finish, she heard the master beside her shout, "Shut up." Then, seeing her face full of grief, he said, "Honglian, Honglian, how could you betray so quickly? Didn't your master just send some food? Did he buy you off? Look at you now, you're almost his lackey. Have you forgotten how he was so cruel and heartless and threw the three of us to Meiyue Tower to fend for ourselves?"

"Grandma, I'm just stating the facts..." Honglian argued weakly, but it was obvious that Su Nuannuan wouldn't believe it.

The master and servant were just talking and joking when they heard a gentle, smiling voice outside the door, "Sister, what are you so happy about?"

Who is this? How can you talk like that? Which eye is happy to see me? Su Nuannuan put her hands on her hips and looked back. She couldn't help but put on a teapot posture because she had no good feelings towards the women in the Marquis' Mansion. But the next moment, she was stunned. She blinked her eyes and murmured for a long time: "Fairy, did I see a fairy? Is this Luoshen or Chang'e? No, Luoshen is in the water, Chang'e is in the Moon Palace, it's broad daylight now, and the pond is in the backyard."

"Why is Grandma Lan here?"

Honglian's voice brought Su Nuannuan back to her senses. Vague memories emerged, reminding her that this stunningly beautiful woman was Duan Tingxuan's other concubine: Xue Zhilan, the concubine of Duke Zheng.

A pearl is thrown into the dark, a pearl is thrown into the dark.

Watching Xue Zhilan walk into the yard, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but sigh to the sky, thinking to herself, "You are such a beautiful woman, why did you blindly marry Duan Tingxuan, a scumbag? So what if she is a concubine? Isn't it just a concubine with a nobler status? Since you are also a concubine, why don't you go to the palace? With your looks, it is not difficult to get the favor of three thousand people. Why do you have to come to the Anping Marquis's Mansion to be a scumbag's concubine? You are also the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. This is simply the real version of flowers stuck in cow dung, and good cabbages being pushed by pigs? Is it you who was kicked in the head by a donkey or your father? Fortunately, your family is not in business, otherwise you will lose everything.

"I haven't seen you for so many days. I'm so happy to see you looking as beautiful as ever." When Su Nuannuan felt sorry for her, Xue Zhilan had already bowed, then stood up and expressed her concern with a sob.

Regardless of time and place, this is a world that values ​​appearance. For example, if Xu Ranyun was pretending to be nice in front of Su Nuannuan, this woman would have kicked him as far away as possible. Although Xu Ranyun was also very beautiful, her appearance was only on par with Su Nuannuan, and she was not at all like Xue Zhilan, a demon who brought disaster to the country.
