Yun Chuwei sensed that Xie Xuan was acting strangely. She stepped out of his embrace, looked up at him, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Xie Xuan's thin lips moved, but in the end he said nothing.
Seeing that he seemed unwilling to talk, Yun Chuwei did not press him.
She said in a low voice, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it!"
Xie Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Yun Chuwei reached out and took his hand, saying, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Have you eaten yet?"
Xie Xuan shook his head.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Shall I take you out to eat?"
Xie Xuan nodded.
Yun Chuwei greeted Guiyan before taking Xie Xuan's hand, walking out of the courtyard, and finally leaving the Marquis's residence.
Xie Xuan was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking me?"
Yun Chuwei led Xie Xuan forward and said, "In the past, when I couldn't figure something out or was unhappy, my master would let me go down the mountain for a walk and let me eat some good food. Like candied hawthorns, roast meat and such!"
Xie Xuan listened and asked, "Will it make you feel better?"
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "I don't know. I finally felt better because I figured out the problem. So I don't know if it will work, but you can try it and see if it does."
Xie Xuan turned his head and looked at Yun Chuwei's serious expression, and couldn't help but smile.
He thought it should be useful, right?
The Great Chu did not have a strict curfew, but there weren't many people around at night either.
Some of the restaurants and noodle shops on the street are still open.
When Yun Chuwei brought Xie Xuan to Yan Wei's restaurant, the restaurant was still open.
After she entered, she called out to the shopkeeper behind the counter who was doing the accounting: "Auntie."
That was Yan Wei's wife, Mo Chou.
Mo Chou looked up and was somewhat surprised to see Yun Chuwei.
"Young Miss, why are you back again?" After saying that, she saw Xie Xuan and asked, "And who is this?"
Yun Chuwei introduced him, saying, "He is Xie Xuan."
She then introduced Xie Xuan, saying, "This is Uncle Yan's wife, Aunt Mochou."
Mo Chou naturally knew Xie Xuan, so she quickly came out from behind the counter and bowed to Xie Xuan, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Xuan!"
Xie Xuan offered him a helping hand and said, "Madam Yan, there's no need for such formalities!"
After Mo Chou straightened up, she didn't say anything else, but stared straight at Xie Xuan, nodding slightly from time to time.
It has a strong sense of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and becoming more and more satisfied the more she looks at him.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "He hasn't eaten yet. Auntie, could you let Brother Yang cook a couple of dishes?"
“Your brother Yang went home early today. You two go upstairs and sit for a while. I’ll cook you two of my signature dishes myself!” Mochou said.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie! Auntie, do you have any more candied hawthorns? I'd like a skewer!"
"Yes!" Mo Chou said, then walked to the kitchen and quickly brought out a string of candied hawthorns, handing it to Yun Chuwei.
She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Don't you dislike sweets?"
Yun Chuwei took the candied hawthorn and said with a smile, "It's nice to have some every now and then! Thank you, Auntie."
"Don't stand on ceremony with me!" Mo Chou said, then called upstairs, "Yi Yi, make a pot of tea for your Weiwei sister!"
A girl's voice responded from upstairs: "Yes, Mother!"
Mo Chou said to Yun Chuwei again, "Please take His Highness Prince Xuan upstairs to sit down! The food will be ready soon!"
Yun Chu nodded slightly, and only after seeing Mo Chou busy in the kitchen did she hand the candied hawthorn to Xie Xuan.
"Give it a try!"
Xie Xuan took a bite of the candied hawthorn under Yun Chuwei's watchful gaze.
Yun Chuwei tilted her head and asked him, "Is it delicious?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "It's very sweet!"
"Are you feeling any better?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "Much better!"
Xie Xuan then remembered something and asked, "You don't like sweets? Then why do you like candied fruit?"
Yun Chuwei couldn't help but laugh: "I never said I liked candied fruit! I eat candied fruit because my mother prepares it. Of course, you also prepare it!"
Xie Xuan: ...
Oh, I see.
He looked at the candied hawthorn in his hand and said softly, "I actually quite like candied hawthorn!"
After saying that, he took another bite.
I didn't like it before, but it's different now.
Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xuan and asked with a smile, "Is it that delicious?"
Xie Xuan held it to her lips and asked, "Want to try it?"
Yun Chuwei took a bite and then said, "It is indeed very sweet!"
I wouldn't say I like it, but I definitely don't dislike it either.
After eating candied hawthorns, Yun Chuwei led Xie Xuan upstairs.
They found a spot to sit by the railing upstairs.
Soon, a little girl of eight or nine years old came over carrying tea.
"Sister Weiwei, didn't you just leave? Why are you back again?"
After the little girl finished speaking, she saw Xie Xuan and immediately understood.
"Sister Weiwei, did you bring him here to eat?"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "Yes!"
The little girl poured Yun Chuwei a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
She then poured Xie Xuan a cup and placed it in front of him before saying, "Brother, you're so handsome, almost as good-looking as my Weiwei! My name is Yiyi. What's your name?"
When Xie Xuan met the little girl's round eyes, he suddenly felt a little better.
He smiled and said, "My name is Xie Xuan, and I'm your sister Weiwei's fiancé. Of course, I have to be good-looking. Otherwise, how could I be worthy of your sister Weiwei?"
The little girl thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "That makes sense! So, you are Weiwei's fiancé, which means you are my brother-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan's gloom vanished completely.
He smiled and said, "Since you've already called me brother-in-law, shouldn't I give you a gift?"
As he spoke, he rummaged through his sleeve for a while.
Finally, they found a piece of mutton fat jade pendant.
This mutton fat jade is quite valuable, so it would be appropriate to give it to a young girl.
So Xie Xuan handed the mutton-fat jade to the little girl, saying, "This is for you. Consider it a small gift from me!"
The little girl did not accept immediately, but reached out to take Yun Chuwei's hand and looked at her with questioning eyes.
She felt that if Weiwei told her to take it, she should take it.
If Weiwei tells her not to take it, she absolutely won't touch it!
Yun Chu smiled and said, "If he gives it to you, then take it. You can't just call him brother-in-law for nothing, can you?"
The little girl smiled broadly and took the jade pendant.
Then, she said to Yun Chuwei, "Sister, you're here just in time. I have a question about my studies that I don't quite understand. Could you explain it to me?"
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "Okay, bring it here, let me take a look!"
