Su Wenyue smiled as she watched Xiao Xi. Although Xiao Xi had become much steadier outside, she was still the same outspoken and straightforward girl in front of her, not hiding her thoughts at all—the Xiao Xi she knew so well.
“So it’s seeds from the Western Foreign Clans, that must be precious and not easily obtained. The Western Region is such a far place, Madam, how did you manage to get them?” Xiao Xi asked curiously.
“It’s quite a coincidence, actually. I got them from the Spice Shop,” Su Wenyue recounted the origin of the seeds to Xiao Xi.
“Madam is truly kind-hearted. The Shopkeeper of the Spice Shop must be grateful to give you these seeds. This is what they call good people are rewarded.” No matter what, in Xiao Xi’s eyes, Madam was the best person in the world. If it weren’t for Madam, she might no longer be in this world, having been tortured to death by those evil people.
“Your mouth still knows how to speak well, but merely saying sweet words is useless. You need to complete your tasks well for me; these seeds are not easily obtained again. You should plant half of them first and save the other half. If they don’t survive, we can try to plant them again,” Su Wenyue instructed Xiao Xi, and shared her knowledge and understanding of the seeds.
“Madam, rest assured, I will make certain to take care of everything. The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing nicely, and we can almost harvest the first batch. I’ve specially brought some of them for Madam to taste the freshness,” said Xiao Xi as she had someone bring up a basket of vegetables. There weren’t many; after all, it was still a bit early and they were too tender—picking them now would be a pity. So, Xiao Xi only picked this basketful to give Su Wenyue a taste of the fresh produce and also to show Madam the fruits of her labor over these days.
Su Wenyue was delighted to hear that. These were the first batch of vegetables grown in the greenhouse, which held a special meaning to her: “Well, that’s great. I’ve been getting a little tired of eating the same few things all the time; I was just thinking about wanting some fresh vegetables.”
It just so happened that when Han Yu returned at noon, he did not come back alone but with Deng Chen. The main reason why Deng Chen followed Han Yu back was mostly because he was a foodie, craving the meals at Han Mansion. Indeed, before Su Wenyue could speak, Deng Chen eagerly said, “Younger sister-in-law, I’ve come to your house to mooch a meal again. Don’t dislike me for it, just bring out whatever delicious dishes you have, and I promise to finish them.”
In the past, Han Yu and Deng Chen were unsure of each other’s age, calling each other Brother Deng and Brother Han. Now that they had discussed their ages, with Han Yu being two years younger than Deng Chen, they had changed the way they addressed each other, and Deng Chen’s references to Su Wenyue also changed. Originally, calling her sister-in-law seemed somewhat odd since Su Wenyue appeared young.
Deng Chen had a straightforward personality, at least in front of Su Wenyue—whatever he thought, he did not hide, and he expressed his requests boldly. Su Wenyue actually preferred dealing with such forthright people; she lightly pursed her lips and smiled.
Seeing this, Han Yu also said, “Wife, I will have to trouble you with the arrangements for today’s noon meal. Tell the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes; Brother Deng and I plan to drink quite a bit.”
Although his status had changed, Han Yu was still accustomed to calling Su Wenyue his wife, feeling it was more intimate and natural.
“Yes, indeed, it’s a hassle for my younger sister-in-law. You can’t make too much of a good thing,” Deng Chen chimed in again.
Hearing Deng Chen’s words, Su Wenyue’s smile grew even wider. “Why speak of trouble or no trouble? I’m more than happy to have Brother Deng over. It happens that today, the Zhuangzi has sent over some fresh and tender vegetables. I’ll have the kitchen stir-fry them, to have something fresh. During the winter, it’s tiring to keep eating the same things.”
Han Yu wasn’t surprised by Su Wenyue’s words; he knew somewhat about the Zhuangzi matters his wife had been arranging, and whatever she did, she liked to tell him about it, which Han Yu very much enjoyed. Still, when his wife had talked about growing vegetables in the winter, he had been quite skeptical, but now, she had truly succeeded in her venture.
