33 33. Giving amends to his wife. (1/2)
Taking the departure of his friends, Yu Wang 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.
”Wangye-”
Xiao Yuqi, the young eunuch sent by Butler Chen to serve at the place Su Qingyi saluted Yu Wang, 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 Wangfei's request.
”Where is my wife?” Yu Fengyao asked the young eunuch who looked rather messy and had some soil in his hand.
”Wangfei 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 Wang's arrival immediately salute politely. Yu Wang 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 assistants quickly. Seeing the young woman's actions in the kitchen subconsciously fascinated Yu Wang. Looking for a long time, Yu Wang noticed when some dishes were made mostly by his wife while the kitchen assistants 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 Wangfei 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, Wangfei used to cook by herself there.”
”Why? Are there no cooks for her?”
”Nothing. Wangfei doesn't have a cook to cook for her. We used to be able to only cook a little because the ingredients provided for Wangfei's residence could only be for one meal. Because of that to be able to eat enough, Wangfei sometimes had to take food from other kitchens, assisted by this old maid.”
”Wangfei'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 Wangfei 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. Wangfei 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 Wangfei for a long time.”
Hearing Yu Wang talks like that made Nanny Mo finally decide to talk.
