Chapter 676: Chapter 676: No Need Chapter 676: Chapter 676: No Need How could the young master Chu fail to understand the meaning of his attendant?
As the attendant was shivering with worry, young master Chu unexpectedly turned to him and said, “Enough, you need not arrange for anyone to continue the investigation.”
The attendant was overjoyed.
Finally, his young master seemed to be persuaded by his reasoning, no matter what. As long as his own young master could stop fretting over Miss Su, that was enough.
Having left with his personal attendant, young master Chu, on the other hand, Gu Ya went to buy a string of candied haw to please his little wife.
His little wife was unwilling to return to the village with him. Seeing her displeasure, Gu Ya went to buy the candied haw that women liked, to coax his little wife.
He awkwardly handed the candied haw to his little wife.
“Yunjin, this is for you.” Gu Ya had bought two strings of candied haw, of course, they were both for his little wife. As a man, he did not eat such feminine treats.
Su Yunjin was still angry. Seeing Gu Ya come with two strings of awkwardly presented candied haw to coax her, did this man really treat her like a child? Still using such trinkets to please her.
Though his little wife refused them, Gu Ya continued to coax her, “Yunjin, come on, take a bite.” Gu Ya brought the candied haw close to Su Yunjin’s mouth.
Su Yunjin originally disdained being treated like a child by Gu Ya and did not want to eat it, but when Gu Ya brought the candied haw close to her mouth, she caught the sweet aroma.
Her resolve melted, and she couldn’t help but open her mouth and take a bite. Seeing his little wife eat, Gu Ya watched with a smile in his eyes and asked, “Is it sweet?”
The candied haw was indeed very sweet with its malt sugar coating, “Mmm.” After giving the candied haw to his little wife, Gu Ya said, “Sweet, that’s good.”
Now Su Yunjin had both, and she asked Gu Ya, “My lord, what about you? Aren’t you going to eat?” She had thought one of the strings of candied haw was for him.
“Yunjin, they’re all yours. You eat.” To please his little wife, Gu Ya had bought two strings; Su Yunjin ate one and held another.
Candied haw was sweet on the outside, but the hawthorn inside was a bit sour. Su Yunjin thought she couldn’t finish both, but Gu Ya said, “If you can’t finish, I’ll hold them for you, and you can eat them later.”
Thus, the other string ended up in Gu Ya’s hands. Su Yunjin held only one string of candied haw and ate it as they took the ox cart back to the village.
Gu Ya told Su Yunjin to rest at home and not to go anywhere. He even said he would stay at home with her, “Yunjin, I’ll stay at home with you all day today. Have a good rest.” Lately, his little wife had been busy brewing fruit wine, and Gu Ya was worried she would get tired, especially now that her hand was injured.
Gu Ya planned to let his little wife have a good rest at home.
Su Yunjin was watched over by Gu Ya, who forbade her from doing other things. Seeing that the vegetable seedlings in the courtyard were growing well, she intended to water them.
When Su Yunjin went to water the plants, Gu Ya did not stop her and even helped her fetch the water. Working together, the couple watered the plants, and Su Yunjin, drawing a scoop of water, seemed to be struck by a thought.
“My lord, how did you happen to come to Fuman Building today?” Could it be that Gu Ya heard about her fruit wine being smashed while he was doing the accounts at the tavern?
Indeed, Su Yunjin’s guess was correct, “Yunjin, I heard someone’s wine was smashed at Fuman Building, so I guessed it was you.”
“So you came looking for me?” Su Yunjin asked again.
Without denial, Gu Ya affirmed, “Yes.”
