"No, you're overthinking it." Su Nuannuan denied it righteously, "You're wrongly accusing me, sir."
Siping couldn't help but look over with his eyes slanted: Damn, grandma, can you be a little more shameless? How can you say such a shameless thing? You are as shameless as our grandfather.
Duan Tingxuan also expressed his doubts and sneered, "Wrongly accuse you? I don't think so. What did you call me? Master? How come I didn't know when you turned back into a virtuous woman?"
"Do you know the origin of this rooster?" Su Nuannuan did not answer Duan Tingxuan, but asked another seemingly strange question.
"Hmm! What's your origin?" Humph! Want to change the subject? Too naive, I'll settle the score with you later. The young marquis secretly rolled up his sleeves.
"Grandpa gave me the key to the private vault. Then your Madam Yun got into a good mood for some reason and went to the kitchen to show off her power as the head of the family. She transferred the Xue family's daughter-in-law to the laundry room and sent me a rooster. Later, I inquired about it and it seemed that Madam Yun suffered a loss from this big rooster in the kitchen yard. I didn't expect that Grandpa would repeat her mistake when I was not prepared."
"Ran Yun went to the kitchen to make trouble?" Duan Tingxuan frowned and slowly put down his sleeves: Su Nuannuan almost told him directly that this was something your concubine got specially to harm me, but she didn't expect that you would be the one who suffered in the end. How could he not hear the implication?
"It's not a fuss, right? After all, she has something to do. The daughter-in-law of the Xue family has been in charge of the kitchen for so many years, and nothing has gone wrong. Who would accept it if they suddenly want to transfer her to the laundry room? Naturally, she has to go there in person."
Su Nuannuan said calmly. Then she turned around and told Honglian Xiangyun: "You and Siping go to Meiyue Tower to kill a few roosters, pick the fat and tender ones, wash and skin them and bring them back."
Honglian Xiangyun agreed, winked at Siping, and walked out of the yard first. Siping was about to follow. Suddenly, he heard his grandfather said angrily: "Take this beast with you. Didn't your grandmother say that this is a treasure that guards the nest, how can you just throw it here? Idiot."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Siping quickly picked up the cage containing the big rooster, and followed happily. Su Nuannuan looked at the young marquis's miserable appearance, and her anger was relieved. So she sat on the stone bench under the grape trellis with a peaceful attitude, and ordered Cong'erhua'er to serve tea, snacks and fruits.
How smart is Duan Tingxuan? How could he not know that this was his wife's way of venting her dissatisfaction with him dragging her into the fight in the backyard? It was just that Nuannuan had some harmless greed. This private vault was her biggest support. She could also use the money and things in the vault to do what she liked. He expected that after the other party vented her anger, she would accept this matter. In this way, being tickled by the rooster was really nothing. The important thing was that he and Nuannuan became closer because of their common ownership of this private vault.
"Since the Xue family has been doing this for so many years without any mistakes, why let her go to the laundry room? Ran Yun handled this matter a little biased. Let me go and tell her to get her back." Duan Tingxuan sat down with Su Nuannuan. Although Nuannuan had given him a loss, at least she didn't kick him out, which made the young marquis, who was used to being abused, very satisfied. So he didn't mind helping his wife solve this matter. With his intelligence, he naturally knew why the Xue family's daughter-in-law was taken down by Xu Ranyun.
"Okay." Su Nuannuan smiled sincerely this time, very satisfied: It couldn't be better to not participate in the house fights and let this man handle everything. What if those women swarmed over me? I have the prince, a super invincible human weapon. One man can block the way for ten thousand men. Then I can just enjoy the food in peace. Phew! Life is so beautiful.
"Ahem..." Duan Tingxuan coughed unnaturally a few times. He didn't expect Su Nuannuan to use him so comfortably. A smart man shouldn't get involved in such matters in the backyard. Even if he wanted to help, Nuannuan should at least refuse, right? How could she accept it so calmly? Besides, doesn't she want to establish her own status and authority? How would others see me if I had to settle such a small matter by myself? Would she have to ask me for help in the future? Isn't this a bit wrong?
However, after thinking about it, the young marquis understood.
He had known this sentence since he was a child, but it was not until today that he saw a real example. Su Nuannuan was a typical representative of the saying "no desire means strength". This woman no longer cared about the mansion. Even if she left, she could go wherever she wanted. With such a good cooking skill, why would she be afraid of starving to death? She was willing to stay in the mansion, and it was Old Lady Fang and himself who should be grateful. After all, they really couldn't do without delicacies such as hemp flowers, white pork, white sugar cake, milk smoothie, etc., not to mention many other things he had never tasted before.
As for her husband, haha! It seemed that Nuan Nuan had always called her a scumbag, so the so-called husband's love, she didn't care at all, right? She could get along with her like a friend because she had sincerely helped her parents when they were in trouble. Compared with her former cruelty, this was already very rare, although her cruelty was not without reason.
Thinking this way, Duan Tingxuan finally understood: after all, Su Nuannuan had no need for the Marquis' Mansion. If she was still as competitive as before, she might be interested in these harem struggles and establishing her status and majesty, but because she had died once and had a great enlightenment, she no longer took these things to heart, so she didn't care about anything. If I didn't care about the matter of Xue's wife, she might not care either. Now that I have to take care of it, she is more relaxed. After all, Xue's wife was unlucky because of her. It's better to win back a city.
"What's wrong?"
Su Nuannuan saw Duan Tingxuan had been looking down in deep thought, and she couldn't help but feel curious, so she couldn't help but gossip a little, but she saw her husband raise his head and smiled, "Nothing, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Didn't I just ask Honglian Xiangyun to kill a chicken? We'll have beggar's chicken tonight. It's something you've never eaten before, so give one to the old lady when it's ready..." "Madam likes chicken the most." Duan Tingxuan added before she finished, but Su Nuannuan looked at him with amusement and said leisurely, "Really? I remember when we were making the top scholar's elbow last time, you also said that Madam likes pork the most."
Even though the young marquis had an incredibly thick skin, he couldn't help but blush a little at this moment. He coughed a few times and then laughed, "Nuannuan, there are some things that you and I just need to know, so there's no need to say them out loud, right?"
