Chapter 302 The Madwoman Han Sui
Chapter 302 The Madwoman Han Sui
“Xixi? She’s at the arena; she’s been there for the past three days!” Yunxi replied obediently.
"The arena? It's noisy and violent there. What would a pregnant female be doing there?" Old Qian looked displeased.
"Find me a soulmate, what else can I do? The holy maiden I promised gave to her to someone else, and she's been all lovey-dovey with that person for three days straight without even getting out of bed. Who wouldn't be happy about that? For the past three days, my wife has been staying at the arena, and she hasn't even come home at night. It's a pity that all my top-notch cooking skills have been wasted!"
Yunxi spoke seemingly casually, but secretly observed the other person's expression. Sure enough, he saw that the other person looked embarrassed, as if he had done something very wrong.
"This... this is the only way we could do it. We can't... we can't just watch her die. It doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, but at that critical moment, she couldn't die!"
In short, this directly verified Yunxi's conjecture.
Having understood, he handed over the roasting lamb leg, saying, "You've come all the way from the north of the city, are you hungry? Have something to tide you over!"
As he spoke, he began casually, "I heard from my wife that back in your time, you used to bring her meals?"
Seeing that Elder Qian nodded, he continued, "Then it must be because your cooking is not good. Let me tell you, my wife has a good temper, but she is very picky when it comes to food! She insists that the food must be perfect in color, aroma, and taste. She won't accept anything missing and would rather go hungry than touch it!"
"Only I can barely make these things that meet the wife's approval!" He muttered with a hint of arrogance, raising an eyebrow at Elder Qian every now and then, only to see the other man's brows furrowed in thought, and he knew that the fish had taken the bait.
In their first encounter, he had already confirmed that the young city lord had feelings for his wife. Not only did he have feelings, but he also felt guilty. However, guilt usually has two outcomes: one is to bury it deep in one's heart, care for her silently, and eventually forget her in the world; the other is to make the relationship clear, give her a chance, and then urgently make amends.
He remembered that Elder Qian had hinted to Xixi that when they were at the City Lord's Mansion, the young City Lord had visited her and even said something, but Xixi was buried in the ground at the time and did not hear it clearly.
But the fact that he personally cooked two meals was enough to prove that the young city lord was very sincere.
He's willing to cook, so let's give him another chance. He'll cook again and deliver meals again.
Regardless of how things turn out in the end, at least we've had the opportunity to meet, haven't we?
If the wife eats it, he's lucky and his wish has come true; if she doesn't, it's a good opportunity for him to realize the difference in their status and stop trying to take his job!
Whether he ate or not, he was finally able to say what he had been keeping to himself.
As Qian Lao chewed, he finally came to his senses and looked Yun Xi up and down with an inquisitive gaze. After a long while, he said, "How could such a simple-minded female like Xi Xi have taken in such a wicked beast as your husband?"
"Cough... Look at what you're saying. Isn't it precisely because the wife is too naive and easily hurt that we, as her beast husbands, have to help her more? You tell me how difficult it is for me. Not only do I let the wife find beast husbands, but I also have to actively help her find them. My heart is bleeding!"
Seeing Yunxi feigning sadness, Elder Qian snorted coldly, "Heh, smooth talker, you just want my young city lord to fend off your unwanted suitors, don't worry, none of those brutes in the arena can compare to our young city lord!"
"We're shielding them for them, but we're also shielding them for the young city lord himself!" Yun Xi said with a cupped hand and a smile, thinking to himself, "Isn't Jun Song someone we found in the arena?"
You said you'd look for someone with a clean background, but you ended up with a big tail that might explode at any time!
Fortunately, the beast seal hasn't been formed yet. If the young city lord can, Jun Song might be able to get rid of him!
Yunxi was extremely unhappy with this guy who seemed to have a knives in his body. Take the time when Xixi was escorted to the city lord's mansion, for example. If it weren't for Junsong's matter, would we have been running around feeling guilty? If we hadn't been running, would we have been able to confront that bastard Han Sui at the entrance of Youjia Restaurant?
Ultimately, it was Junsong who caused the trouble!
Of course, he didn't tell anyone about these thoughts, not even Xixi.
"Hmm, the cooking skills are indeed quite good!" Old Qian gave him a half-smile. He lit a fire, roasted the meat, and the heat was just right. If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence!
Knowing what the other person meant, Yunxi dusted himself off, stood up, and muttered to himself, "It's getting late, time to go relieve my elder brother!"
"Sigh, that shop doesn't make much money, but it was my wife's brilliant idea. But lately, some people have been deliberately causing trouble. If we really lose this stall, my wife will be very heartbroken!"
As he spoke, he ignored the reactions of those behind him and strode forward with small, unsteady steps.
Watching Yunxi's retreating figure, Elder Qian cursed under his breath, "How could his young city lord, who is as beautiful as a celestial being, end up with such a treacherous and cunning brother?"
Yunxi's meaning was perfectly clear to him: this stall didn't just belong to the three of them, but also to his wife, so they should take good care of it and not let it disappear!
Not only did they scheme to have the young city lord shield them from unwanted suitors, but at the very end, they even assigned him tasks!
Although he was full of resentment, Elder Qian did not dare to delay and rushed to the city lord's mansion. His young city lord was still eagerly waiting for news from him!
Logically speaking, the blessing of the Beast God can heal all injuries, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it can bring the dead back to life and make flesh and bones grow back. This has been the case for the wives of the city lords throughout the ages, but Han Sui was an exception.
Her physical injuries have fully healed, but her mental state is abnormal. She needs to sleep for 20 hours out of 24 hours a day.
During her remaining four hours of lucidity, she was either cursing Xixi's ancestors or his descendants, and she was using extremely offensive language, speaking very loudly, and making a constant fuss.
For the past three days, his young lord has been holed up in the city lord's mansion doing only one thing: consulting ancient books and looking for a way to break the curse.
Unfortunately, despite searching through ancient books, no explanation could be found for Han Sui's situation.
Left with no other choice, the young city lord had to seek help from the chief shaman, but the chief shaman couldn't give a clear answer and could only prescribe some calming medicine.
After drinking these calming tonics, Han Sui did indeed sleep longer, from twenty hours to twenty-two hours.
However, a new symptom emerged: the remaining two hours were no longer concentrated, but rather scattered throughout the twenty hours of sleep.
In other words, she would often fall asleep and suddenly yell at Xixi, then roll her eyes and fall back asleep.
This interval sometimes lasts three to five hours, and sometimes it is only a few minutes.
