Taking the departure of his friends, Yu w.a.n.g immediately walked to the Hongmei Courtyard to meet his wife. Reading all the information that his friends gave him about his wife"s past made Yu Fengyao feel guilty for having acted badly on their wedding night."w.a.n.gye-"
Xiao Yuqi, the young eunuch sent by Butler Chen to serve at the place Su Qingyi saluted Yu w.a.n.g, who walked elegantly into the door of the Hongmei Courtyard. This young eunuch had just helped organize the plant that had just been sent by Butler Chen at w.a.n.gfei"s request.
"Where is my wife?" Yu Fengyao asked the young eunuch who looked rather messy and had some soil in his hand.
"w.a.n.gfei is cooking in the kitchen for dinner." told the young eunuch with the simple and naive look.
Hearing the eunuch"s revelation, Yu Fengyao walked towards the kitchen to meet his wife. This young prince had never seen his wife cook before, this somewhat made him curious. Arriving in front of the kitchen, Yu Fengyao saw the maids who usually served Su Qingyi waiting for the young woman there. The maids saw Yu w.a.n.g"s arrival immediately salute politely. Yu w.a.n.g did not want them to call Su Qingyi to signal that they did not need to announce his arrival.
Yu Fengyao stood at the kitchen door and looked inside to find his wife"s graceful figure. In the kitchen, Su Qingyi moves swiftly to process ingredients such as fairies. The young woman expertly used a kitchen knife and ordered the chef and his a.s.sistants quickly. Seeing the young woman"s actions in the kitchen subconsciously fascinated Yu w.a.n.g. Looking for a long time, Yu w.a.n.g noticed when some dishes were made mostly by his wife while the kitchen a.s.sistants and the chef were there who paid more attention and only helped a little.
Noting how skilled his wife was in the kitchen, Yu Fengyao asked Nanny Mo; "Is w.a.n.gfei used to cooking alone at the Su family"s residence?"
Nanny Mo looked at her young mistress who was busy cooking, looking sad remembering the past.
"Yes, w.a.n.gfei used to cook by herself there."
"Why? Are there no cooks for her?"
"Nothing. w.a.n.gfei doesn"t have a cook to cook for her. We used to be able to only cook a little because the ingredients provided for w.a.n.gfei"s residence could only be for one meal. Because of that to be able to eat enough, w.a.n.gfei sometimes had to take food from other kitchens, a.s.sisted by this old maid."
"w.a.n.gfei"s father and grandfather did not try to help her?"
"Master Su has no interest in anything since Madam Xu died. Minister Su does not like his illegitimate son, so w.a.n.gfei also ignored by that old fogy."
Yu Fengyao felt sad to hear that Su Qingyi was ignored by his family since his mother-in-law died.
"If it"s only because the ingredients she gets for cooking are few, it"s not a reason that demands her to force herself to cook personally. w.a.n.gfei still has a maid to help cook, doesn"t she?"
Nanny Mo was forced to admit that her young mistress"s husband was sensitive enough to realize that. This old maid felt rather reluctant to tell him the reason her young mistress liked to cook food that she ate by herself.
"You should tell this prince about the reason, Nanny Mo. If this prince wants to find out, this prince can certainly find out easily, but this prince wants to find out directly from you, after all, you have served w.a.n.gfei for a long time."
Hearing Yu w.a.n.g talks like that made Nanny Mo finally decide to talk.
"There used to be a maid who helped cook the food w.a.n.gfei ate, but then the maid was bribed by one of the Su family members to poison the food w.a.n.gfei ate. w.a.n.gfei almost died from the food the maid cooked."
Yu Fengyao looked angry at Nanny Mo"s story. A cold emanated from Yu Fengyao"s slender but powerful body.
"Husband?"
The soft voice calling from inside the kitchen made the cold air emanating from Yu Fengyao"s body fade. Su Qingyi felt the cold chill that made this young woman who concentrated on cooking looked in the direction the cold was coming. Glancing at Su Qingyi"s kitchen door saw Yu Fengyao standing close to Nanny Mo who looked stiff.
Seeing her husband standing near the kitchen door made Su Qingyi smile faintly. Letting the kitchen staff arrange the food that had just finished cooking, Su Qingyi walked over to Yu Fengyao.
"Husband, why are you standing in front of the kitchen door like this? You should just wait for the foods in the dining room."
Hearing the call of "husband" from Su Qingyi made the anger in Yu Fengyao fade, this man smiled at the happy expression of his wife who was radiating clearly.
"This husband is curious to see his wife cooking in the kitchen so he decides to look."
"Oh?"
Yu Fengyao nodded in agreement and make his wife smile slightly again.
"Husband, this wife will wash up first. My body is sweating and smelling of smoke. Husband can wait in the dining room."
"This husband also wants to clean himself. This husband has just finished working."
"Oh, alright."
Su Qingyi walked a step behind her husband. This young woman wants to walk alongside her husband but the rules do not allow her wishes without her husband"s permission. Besides, her body was sweating and smelly because of cooking, so this young woman felt rather embarra.s.sed to walks by Yu w.a.n.g"s side.
Walking not far, the two of them arrived near Su Qingyi"s bedroom. Yu Fengyao pushed the unlocked door and stepped inside. As soon as he entered the room, Yu Fengyao let his wife cleanse his body first in the bathroom because he saw Su Qingyi look uncomfortable.
Su Qingyi cleaned herself quickly because she did not want to make her husband eat cold food. After finishing, Su Qingyi waited for her husband to take care of himself by sitting on the bed. Seeing the appearance of her husband who had taken care of herself looking very handsome, Su Qingyi blushed. Yu Fengyao who noticed the red blush on his wife"s face approached and kissed him softly and deeply.
"Tonight, this husband wants to hug my wife again."
Su Qingyi blushed even worse after hearing the request from her husband. Nodding in agreement, Su Qingyi let her husband kiss her again before reminding him to eat.
"Husband, the food I made will be cold if we don"t go to the dining room immediately."
