The question that had been on Su Chen's mind slipped out without her noticing, "Is that a crow?"
“Yes…” The maid was puzzled. Didn’t they keep crows in the courtyard? What else could it be?
"They keep crows at home?" Aren't crows considered unlucky because they eat carrion? Especially in ancient times, weren't people more mindful of these things than they are now? So why would this family keep such a bird?
“Every household raises crows, it’s not just us.”
The man in blue, who had been silent just moments before, began to explain, “Back then, when the founding emperor was surrounded by the enemy on the battlefield, a few crows flew by and landed, pecking at him. The enemy assumed that the person lying there had been dead for a long time and feared the stench, so they all went around him. To repay the crows for saving his life, he began to build a high platform in his courtyard to feed the crows, and many people followed suit, eventually forming this custom.”
The maid then noticed that there was someone else there. "Young master, you're here too?"
The man in blue coughed a few times, then said awkwardly, "Hmm."
Su Chen: Young Master? Qian Duo? Is this the same Qian Duo who's all show and no substance? As for his appearance, he certainly lives up to his name as a show-off, but as for being a show-off... the way he was talking just now didn't seem like he was a show-off at all.
Wait... this person is... a bug! The bug has arrived?
Su Chen turned her head and flashed a bright smile, as if she hadn't been the one who spoke at first, "Husband, have you eaten yet?"
Qian Duo's lips twitched as he said, "No."
"Oh? Then I'll go cook for my husband right away." Whether she cooks or not is another matter; the important thing is to slip away now...
"No need," Qian Duo said calmly before turning and leaving.
Su Chen thought, this works too, and she doesn't have to move.
Seeing that the young master had left, the maidservant became anxious. "Young mistress, the young master finally came to our courtyard today, why didn't you let him stay?"
"Sigh... If you can't even keep someone's heart, what's the use of keeping them?" Su Chen sighed, looking quite wistful.
"Young Madam... Cai'er doesn't want to see you like this."
Su Chen sighed. The child had finally said his name.
"It's alright, Cai'er. I've come to terms with it..." she sighed.
“Young mistress… Young master will definitely see your good qualities… That vixen from the butcher shop is no good at all, she looks like a treacherous devil, spit!” Cai’er spat on the ground.
"Um..." Should she also scold the female lead?
[Task issued: Prevent Qian Duo and the female lead, Tong Tong, from contacting each other.]
"Now?"
【Now. 】
"Cai'er, come on, let's go meet that little vixen." Su Chen waved her hand.
Cai'er immediately beamed with joy, "That's right, young mistress! We have to show that little vixen the demeanor of a proper wife!"
Su Chen nodded, letting Cai'er drape a bright red cloak over her shoulders, and then strode out with a majestic and imposing gait.
There was a sedan chair waiting at the door. Cai'er quickly lifted the curtain and said, "Young mistress, please."
A servant held down the eaves of the sedan chair, and Su Chen thanked him and bowed to get into the sedan chair.
I thought the sedan chair would be as small as the outside, but I was surprised to find that it was a hidden gem. The curtains were breathable and allowed light to pass through very well, and the interior was lined with embroidered cushions. Everything was very comfortable, and the items were placed in a very harmonious way.
"Young mistress, we've arrived," said the sedan bearers outside.
Cai'er lifted the curtain on the side of the sedan chair and pointed her right index finger at the butcher shop. "Young mistress, look, that's the little vixen!"
Su Chen looked up in the direction she was pointing... and was immediately startled!
