Duan Tingxuan became more and more angry as he spoke. Su Nuannuan, who was sitting opposite him, had already listened with her eyes wide open. She murmured, "Am I such a bad woman? These sins are simply too numerous to list..."
"That's right, you think you are a good woman?" Duan Tingxuan interrupted Su Nuannuan's muttering angrily and said coldly: "So have some self-knowledge, don't act as if you have suffered a great injustice. Which of your crimes is not among the seven reasons for divorce? I only sent you to Meiyue Tower to reflect on your sins, which is already a consideration for the relationship between husband and wife."
"Since I'm such a bad guy, why don't you let me fend for myself here? Why do you want me to please the wife now? And you act like you want to put aside the past grudges and reconcile with me?" Su Nuannuan was not a soft persimmon, and she would not let Duan Tingxuan squeeze her or twist her into a ball. Upon hearing this, she immediately retorted.
"Isn't it because... I see that you have shown signs of reforming, so I'm going to give you a chance to reconcile with us?" The young marquis spoke shamelessly, and the important factor of food was buried deep in his heart.
"Illusion, this is a complete illusion." Su Nuannuan knocked on the table and said seriously, "Duan Tingxuan, I can tell you responsibly that I am still the same vicious and sinister woman, but my cooking skills have improved a little. I let you eat for free because we both need each other. Don't regard this as a reformation, let alone any reconciliation. From the moment I came back to life, I have generously treated you as a breeze. From now on, you don't have to care what I think. Go, run into the arms of your wives and concubines."
"What a mess."
The negotiation ended unhappily. The young marquis had only one feeling about such a nonsensical wife, that is, he was confused. He couldn't even adapt to her, let alone fight back. Of course, his dissatisfaction did not make him forget to remind Siping to take away the paper bag of snow bean paste.
But of course this reminder came at a price. Facing the ugly face of his master who had just suffered a loss at the hands of the grandmother, Siping would not dare to refuse his unreasonable request for half of the money, and could only hand two of the paper bags to the young marquis with tears in his eyes.
"Nuan Nuan said that she is still the same vicious and sinister woman as before. Do you believe it?"
Walking on the deserted path in the garden, Duan Tingxuan was holding a lantern in his hand, which he had snatched from Meiyue Tower. Su Nuannuan said that if anything went wrong with the lantern, he would get poison in his food, so the young marquis was afraid that Siping would be careless, so he had to hold it himself to feel at ease.
"Grandpa, do you believe this? Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that grandma asked us to take away the remaining bean paste dumplings today. Even Grandma Lan might not consider such a thing." Siping couldn't help but speak well of Su Nuannuan. This guy was short-sighted and was bribed by a few pieces of snow-white bean paste. However, if Su Nuannuan knew the result of the bribe would be like this, she would rather feed these snacks to the chickens than give them to Siping.
"Sure enough, even you can see it." Duan Tingxuan obviously agreed with Siping's words, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Since she has really changed her ways, why doesn't she want to reconcile with me? Is she playing hard to get? Haha! It's true that life and death moments are the most challenging. Just escaping death has made her a lot smarter than before."
The young marquis accidentally started to be sentimental again. Just when he was feeling proud of himself, he heard Siping beside him whispering, "That... Master, I feel that the eldest lady doesn't seem to be playing hard to get. Haven't you seen it from the experience these days? She is really not afraid of offending you to death. She even set the mousetrap today. Is this something that can be done by playing hard to get?"
"Hmm!" Duan Tingxuan's smile froze on his face. Siping's words punctured his daydream. The young marquis could not help but get angry and kicked Siping on the butt: "You bastard, if I hadn't told you, I would have forgotten. You just watched her set up a mousetrap for me without saying a word? Even after I came in, grandma still sat back and waited to see me make a fool of myself, right?"
"Master, it's unfair. I really died unjustly. You don't know that the eldest lady threatened me. If she had only threatened me with my life, I would rather die than surrender. But she threatened me with delicious food and me. She said that if I dared to remind you, she would give up her life and kick you out of the door of Meiyue Tower and never have any contact with you until death. I had to endure the humiliation so that you could eat the delicious food you like. Didn't you see it? At the critical moment of your life, did my eyes turn red?"
"You bastard, do you think I should thank you for that? Without your patience, I would have starved to death, right?" Duan Tingxuan was so angry that he kicked Siping on the buttocks again, but heard the servant flatteringly: "I dare not think so, as long as you know that I am loyal to you. In fact, I don't have to worry, just based on your handsome appearance and noble family background, even if the eldest lady is angry now, she will definitely be obedient to me in the future."
"Bah! Still bowing and obeying." Duan Tingxuan was sober at this moment, and said sadly: "Haven't you noticed yet? She is not the same as before. If you want her to be the grandmother again, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go."
"I'm not afraid of walking. It's not like I've walked before." Siping patted his chest and said, "Grandma Lan, Grandma Yun, Aunt Jing, which of these roads are easy to walk on? In the end, didn't I walk steadily and easily?"
"What kind of road is that? It's just an alley at most. Nuannuan is the road now. After all, I'm not afraid of it being a road. I'll just walk on it. The scary thing is that this road has no end." When he said this, Duan Tingxuan couldn't help but sigh to the sky, his expression full of regrets.
Seeing that his master seemed to be genuinely concerned, Siping did not dare to make any more jokes. He was just thinking about how to cheer his master up when he heard a long howl from his master. Then he clenched his fists and slammed them together. "It's decided. There is no end but it is still a road. We just need to take it one step at a time. Well, first of all, we have to find a way to get them back to the backyard. It's too unsafe to stay in Meiyue Tower. What if they have the idea of letting the birds fly away and run away again?"
After the young marquis finished speaking, he turned around and asked Siping, "Siping, do you think this is the case? Is my worry justified?"
Siping said nothing, his eyes fixed on Duan Tingxuan's hand holding the lantern. After a long while, he said in a trembling voice: "Master, it's going to... it's going to break..."
"What's going to break?"
"The lantern pole is about to break... ah! It's really broken."
"Fuck! Why are they so fragile? Which lantern shop made these? I'm going to smash their sign. Ahhh, what should I do? I don't want to eat croton. Siping, can you compensate that tigress with the pair of octagonal glazed palace lanterns in my study..."
