The next morning.
Yun Zheng and Rong Shuo were preparing to ask for an audience with the head of the Chu family, but they didn't expect to meet Chu Qiuchi and Xiye Weirong before they left the Chu guest courtyard.
The matter was put on hold.
Chu Qiuchi and Nishino Weirong just wanted to meet their future daughter-in-law, so they simply took them both to have breakfast.
On the other side, the friends also learned that Yun Zheng and the others had gone out to do business, so they had to stay in the guest room to practice. After all, there was still half a month before the opening of the Tianyin Demon Realm.
They were eager to improve their cultivation.
The border is a good place to cultivate spiritual power because the spiritual energy here is particularly rich.
…
September Pavilion, side hall lobby.
The maids brought breakfast dishes to the table. In less than a moment, the table was filled with various dishes, most of which were light and not greasy.
Chu Qiuchi looked at Yun Zheng tenderly, picked up a dumpling with his serving chopsticks and placed it on Yun Zheng's bowl, saying with a smile, "This dumpling is delicious, try it."
"Thank you, auntie." Yun Zheng nodded and smiled.
"Don't be so polite." Chu Qiuchi chuckled, then she picked up another dumpling with the same meat filling and gave it to Rong Shuo.
"Shuo'er, try it."
Nishino Weirong was also quite nervous and introduced: "This was made by your mother."
Rong Shuo lowered his eyes to look at the dumplings in the bowl, then looked up at Chu Qiuchi and Xiye Weirong. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he whispered, "Thank you."
Chu Qiuchi and Xiye Weirong were stunned. They actually saw Shuo'er smile. This was the first time Shuo'er smiled at them.
This seemed to bring them a little closer for a moment.
The couple was ecstatic.
When Yun Zheng saw this scene, her eyebrows raised slightly.
Chu Qiuchi couldn't help but urge, "You two, stop just looking at it and try it."
"Okay." Yun Zheng agreed. She picked up the dumpling with chopsticks and took a bite. The skin was thin and the filling was large. It tasted very fragrant and was steaming hot.
"tasty."
Yun Zheng and Rong Shuo said in unison.
"As long as it tastes good, as long as it tastes good." Chu Qiuchi showed joy on her face and smiled from the bottom of her heart. She used the serving chopsticks to pick up a few more different dishes and put them in the two people's bowls.
"These little buns and sweet soup were made by Weirong, and this peach spirit cake was made by me." Chu Qiuchi had a smile on her brow, and her beautiful face was a little excited.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Aunt, Uncle, you guys eat too."
"Okay." Chu Qiuchi calmed down a little, nodded and smiled.
Yun Zheng asked, "Uncle, can you cook?"
"I know a little." Nishino Weirong's expression was gentle, with a warm smile on his lips.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi seemed to recall some memories and jokingly said, "If he hadn't been a culinary expert, I might not have met him. I really value food, so he has always prepared meals for me over the years."
"So that's how it is. Uncle and aunt are really a perfect match." Yun Zheng nodded in realization, then turned her head to look at the handsome man next to her and smiled at him.
Rong Shuo: “…”
Nishino Weirong asked with anticipation, "How is Shuo'er's cooking?"
Rong Shuo pursed his lips: "...It should be barely edible."
"Haha, it's okay, this can be practiced." Xiye Weirong smiled awkwardly, then looked at Yun Zheng apologetically and said, "Miss Yun Zheng, I will let him practice cooking more in the future."
Yun Zheng smiled and nodded, "Uncle, Aunt, you can just call me Zheng'er or Zheng Zheng."
Chu Qiuchi said gently, "Okay, you are Shuo'er's fiancée now. We don't have anything to give you, so you can keep this."
Chu Qiuchi stood up, took Yun Zheng's hand, and placed a beautifully carved storage ring on Yun Zheng's palm.
"Auntie, this..."
Chu Qiuchi said softly, "Keep it. If you don't want to recognize us, just return it to us."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng had no choice but to accept it.
Xiye Weirong also took out a storage ring and handed it to Rong Shuo, looking at him expectantly, "Shuo'er, this is what your parents wanted to give you."
Rong Shuo was silent for a moment. Under the nervous and anxious gazes of the couple, he reached out and took the ring. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." This is just the little we can do to compensate you.
Chu Qiuchi's eyes were moist. She calmed down her excitement and sat down again.
Chu Qiuchi seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, where do you want to go this morning?"
Rong Shuo said, "Go find Patriarch Chu. We want to stay here for a while longer and wait for the opportunity to enter the Tianyin Demon Realm."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi was slightly surprised.
"Are you going to the Tianyin Demon Realm?" she asked in a worried tone.
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie, we have reasons why we have to go."
Chu Qiuchi's eyes were filled with worry as he spoke slowly, "The Tianyin Demon Realm is very dangerous. If possible, I really don't want you to go in. But since you've made up your mind to go to the Tianyin Demon Realm, I won't stop you. Shuo'er, Zheng'er, you can stay on Chu Family Island without worry. I'll talk to the master about the rest."
"Aunt, will this trouble you?" Yun Zheng asked.
Chu Qiuchi smiled. "What's the problem? Although I'm married, I don't have no status in the Chu family. The master is not an unkind person. You are my son and future daughter-in-law. It's only natural that you stay on Chu Family Island for a while longer."
"Besides, even without me, you can still stay on Chu Family Island. It's just a different method."
As the Emperor of the Five States, if Shuo'er negotiates with his father with his identity, there is a 90% chance that he can stay on Chu Family Island.
