Chapter 30 Tong Jia - Forgetting Worries (8)
"Qingqing, how are you feeling today?" Erhe asked Wangyou about her health as usual when he got home.
"I'm fine, it's just that I have a bad luck with all kinds of banquets!" Wangyou smiled. "By the way, how is your stepmother treating you?"
"If someone is making things difficult for you or saying something unpleasant to you, you don't need to listen!"
"No, I'm just asking. Even though we've moved out, we still need to maintain contact with them. Tell me the basic situation, and I'll know how to treat the people over there!"
"Don't listen to anything except what Father told you!" Erhe felt relieved, as long as it wasn't his stepmother causing trouble.
"I understand!"
"Tell me what's wrong. Although I don't hold a high official position, I will never let you suffer any injustice!"
"I won't let myself be wronged. What I'm worried about is that if I don't ask you about the situation clearly, I might end up beating someone up and getting seriously injured!"
"Hmm?" Erhe didn't quite understand.
"It's just that I don't like to reason. If someone makes me unhappy, I'll beat them up until they're unhappy!" Wangyou said with a smile, not embarrassed at all.
"Then don't do it yourself, or your hands will hurt!" Erhe chuckled. His little wife was quite different from what he had imagined. "I have a day off tomorrow. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
"Yes, I've been looking at my dowry and the private property you gave me these past few days. Since you have a day off tomorrow, you can accompany me shopping. I've never properly gone shopping before!" Wangyou felt quite aggrieved; sometimes being too beautiful really can be a problem.
"Okay, I'll go with you wherever you want to go tomorrow!" Erhe understood the reason after a moment's thought, and felt a pang of heartache for him.
Wangyou smiled happily. She had been looking forward to being able to run out and play without restraint or pretense for a long time.
Seeing the bright smile on Wangyou's face, Erhe couldn't help but smile as well. Then, he took out a hairpin from somewhere and stuck it in Wangyou's hair.
What did you just give me?
"A hairpin, don't move it, it's beautiful, just as I imagined, it suits you perfectly!"
"Let me see!" Wangyou ran to the dressing mirror and saw the new blood jade hairpin in her hair. "It is indeed beautiful, but I still look better!"
"Yes, my wife is the most beautiful!" Erhe hugged Wangyou from behind, his eyes full of tenderness.
That evening, Wangyou refused Erhe's advances, after all, she didn't want to be unable to get up the next day, otherwise her shopping trip would be in vain.
Erkh looked at the determined-looking girl and chuckled softly, "Fine, I won't touch you!"
After saying that, he obediently hugged Wangyou and fell asleep.
The next day, Wangyou got up early, which was unusual for her. She then asked Tingyu to do her hair in a simple yet beautiful style, changed into her favorite dress, and ran out with Erhe.
The servants quickly followed, but the two traveled discreetly and did not bring many people with them. Wangyou brought Tingyu, and Erhe brought his servant Fangcheng.
"It feels like the weather is starting to get cooler!" In September, the autumn wind is chilly, and you can already feel the coolness in the mornings and evenings.
"Be careful!" Erhe helped Wangyou down from the carriage, and the two began to walk along the street, going from house to house.
"Irkh, I want a sugar figurine!"
"Okay, I'll buy it for you!"
"I also want to learn how to make sugar figurines!" Wangyou was very happy looking at the lifelike sugar painting in her hand.
"Then we'll find someone to teach you when we get back!"
"Is that Qinfangzhai over there? Their pastries are absolutely amazing. Let's go queue up!"
"Wait, there's Wangshanju across the street. Go sit there for a while, I'll go buy it for you!" Erhe said helplessly, pulling back the cheerful Wangyou.
"I'll queue with you!"
"No need, I can't bear to see my wife standing in the sun, sweetie! I'll take you there first, then I'll buy you some pastries!"
"Then let Fang Cheng go queue up!"
"Yes, this servant will go and queue up. Young master, you and your wife can wait at Wangshan Residence!" Fang Cheng said with a smile.
"It's settled then, let's go to Wangshan Residence!" Wangyou said and left without hesitation, pulling Erhe into Wangshan Residence. Tingyu gave Fangcheng some instructions and quickly followed.
"Waiter, a private room, please!"
"Alright, please follow me, you two!"
The two followed the waiter to a private room on the second floor. Wangyou also saw that one of the private rooms was heavily guarded, with several guards standing at the door.
Just as the two were about to enter the private room, someone came out of it. Erhe's expression changed, and he quickly pulled Wangyou into the private room. Afterward, the two ordered some dishes, and the waiter left.
"Irkh, what just happened to you?"
"I saw that person's personal eunuch!" Erhe pointed to the sky and whispered in Wangyou's ear.
Wangyou nodded, indicating that she understood. However, wasn't this a bit too coincidental? It was her first time going out today, and she bumped into the emperor. Was this the so-called "law of time-traveling women"?
Wangyou was speechless. This emperor was really something. Why didn't he stay in the palace? Why did he have to come out and wander around? Didn't he know how many people outside wanted him dead?
Hopefully today goes smoothly, after all, her ability to use words of power doesn't always work!
There are always some deviations when it comes to important matters!
After worrying for a while, Wangyou put her worries to the back of her mind and happily started commenting on the restaurant's dishes with Erhe.
The owner behind Wangshanju is said to be Suo'etu. If so, Suo'etu might also be in that private room, but that has little to do with her.
"Erhe, I feel that the food here is not as good as Tingxue's!" Wangyou took a bite and then stopped eating. Having been pampered since childhood, Wangyou never felt that she should suffer.
"If you don't like it, then don't eat it. Try these pastries to fill your stomach first!"
"Well, let's pack these dishes up when we leave and give them to the beggars outside. That way, nothing will go to waste!"
"Okay, whatever you say!"
"This almond shortbread is good, sweet but not cloying, and this candied fruit is also delicious. Although the other pastries used flowers, the flowers probably weren't made from fresh petals. Although they were tasty, something was still missing!"
"What would you like to eat, Madam? Tell Tingxue when we get back. Many of the new flowers on our estate are in bloom!" Tingyu said with a smile.
"Okay, write it down, otherwise I'll forget it again!" Wangyou nodded, ate a few more almond crisps and candied fruit, and then stopped eating.
Erhe thought to himself, "What should I do if my wife's maids are all too capable? I need an answer urgently!"
However, he still noted down the two flavors that Wangyou liked. He would buy more of them in the future and eventually find out what his wife liked.
After finishing their meal, the two sat for a while longer before heading off to inspect their shop.
Unexpectedly, just as the two reached the door, they heard a loud noise, followed by a shout of someone grabbing an assassin, instantly throwing the entire Wangshan Residence into chaos.
Suddenly, a large number of people rushed towards the second floor, their destination: the private room where the emperor was.
Wangyou cursed her bad luck inwardly. She should have known that she would have grabbed Erhe and turned to leave. Now, she couldn't leave either and had no choice but to kill him!
