Chapter 233: Chapter 142: Vegetable Greenhouse

Standing at the Han Family’s doorway, Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang could hardly believe their eyes, They’d heard that their cousin didn’t marry well, and they thought that must be a rumor. How could the only legitimate daughter of the Second House and even of the entire Su Family possibly have married poorly? Now standing here, is this really where their cousin lives? It seemed rather shabby.

Naturally, Su Wenyue saw the expression on Su Lanxin’s and Su Lanfang’s faces. They were still young after all, and even though they had been raised under the Queen Mother’s care, they had not yet completely learned to conceal their emotions.

“Cousins, we’re here, This is my home,” Su Wenyue said with a tinge of humor as she stood at her own doorway, “It may look a bit simple, but its charm lies in its coziness. Don’t look down on it. Besides, it’s too late for that now, you’ll have to stay here for a few days before going back.” Her home was indeed much simpler compared to the Su Mansion, not to mention the Marquis Beian Mansion.

“Cousin, don’t say that. I think it’s quite nice here. We just didn’t expect it to be like this, After all, Second Uncle and Second Aunt love you so much, we meant no offense,” Su Lanxin said somewhat awkwardly, afraid that Su Wenyue might misunderstand.

“Don’t be formal with me. Father and Mother do love me, but this is my own choice. Besides, these conditions aren’t bad at all. I’m quite happy to share joys and sorrows with my husband,” Su Wenyue said with a smile. Hearing this, Han Yu felt very warm inside. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for? He silently vowed to make sure his wife would have a better life and no longer be looked down upon by relatives from the Su Family.

Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang laughed at these words, not quite sure what else to say.

Once inside the Han Family home, they realized it wasn’t as bad as they had imagined. At the very least, it was clean and tidy, and the food was quite good. They found themselves more comfortable and at ease here than at the Su Mansion, and they started to really like it.

“Cousin, what is this? I’ve never had it before. It’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and really sweet,” Su Lanxin asked cheerfully after spending some time with Su Wenyue and feeling more at ease with her.

“Yeah, and this one too, it’s so refreshingly delicious, even better than green vegetables,” Su Lanfang chimed in, picking up another chopstick full and putting it in her mouth. She had set aside the manners that the old women had taught her and was enjoying the pleasure of sharing delicious food with her two cousins.

These were seeds introduced from foreign countries, which Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang had naturally never tasted before. Although the Su Family had some, they would send a few to the Marquis Beian Mansion, the quantity was not much. As concubine’s daughters, it was not something they had access to. Su Wenyue patiently explained to them.

“This is a hash brown made from sweet potatoes and rice flour. Sweet potatoes come from seeds introduced from outer domains; they look like lumps of earth on the outside, with some having yellow flesh and others purple. Later on, go to the kitchen and you’ll see what I mean. This is cauliflower, no wonder you’ve not seen it before—it’s from seeds from foreign countries, and we just started planting them on the estate this year. I’m glad you could try something new. If you like it, you can ask the kitchen to make it,” Su Wenyue explained.
