Having waited for a long while, Lan Xiang had not yet arrived. Shi Fengju declared that his cousin might have, due to temper, stopped the maidservant and dragged her back.
Shi Fengju laughed bitterly. His stomach was burning with hunger, but the dishes on the table were already cold; surely, there's a way to get through the day!
Nevermind! Skipping a meal wouldn't kill me! He, who lacked nothing the moment he was out of his mother's womb, had finally experienced his first taste of hunger. "Hunger is only psychological and fatigue is physical" – he chanted these words silently to himself and went to grab a book from the bookshelf to kill time. He planned to return to
Ning Garden
later in the night to have Zhide prepare supper. Despite not eating supper in the past, there was nothing wrong with eating it today. He is a master, is he not?
But who would have thought the first line he would read was "marinate the saury in a plate with mead and season thoroughly with sauce......simmer with ham broth, bamboo shoots broth, and chicken broth till perfection..." He closed the book at looked at its cover. On the cover were four large and distinct words 《Garden of Food Recipes》.
Shi Fengju immediately felt the hunger, that was previously suppressed, rising up to his head. Swallowing a lump in his throat, he angrily dumped the book as far as possible before throwing himself onto the chair and closing his eyes to rest his mind.
After a long half an hour of silence, Shi Fengju felt that it was time to leave. He instructed Zhan Huan to tidy the study room and left for Ning Garden by himself.
Behind a black pomegranate tree, two female figures quietly revealed themselves as they gazed at the back of the male figure who was heading towards Ning Garden. One was burning with jealousy while the other had the look of panic and fear.
"There you went, advising me to return and send him food. Just look at that, it hasn't even been an hour and that person already couldn't wait any longer! Meddlesome!" Gu Fangzi glared at Lan Xiang coldly and grunted.
Lan Xiang swallowed her lips. Her head was lowered and she did not dare to squeal as she was sure it was her fault for being meddlesome.
"Let's go! Not going back? Here to have a taste of the wind, are we?" Gu Fangzi stared at a delicate flower hatefully and crushed it in her hand.
Sang Wan, Sang Wan... that woman, that dreadful woman! She believed there would come a time when she would reign over that woman!
When Shi Fengju returned to Ning Garden, Sang Wan had not slept. Tonight, Shi Fengju was being overly sensitive, so naturally, she should become a little more careful.
Seeing Shi Fengju return from the study room after a short while, Sang Wan was sure she had a pretty clear idea of the situation. Quickly, she smiled and called out to him before serving him by adding the tea leaves and pouring the water.
"Take a seat. Let the servants do it!" Her actions made him feel a little apologetic and he smiled.
Sang Wan did not insist and sat with a chuckle. The servants prepared the tea in perfect order and Sang Wan sat to observe.
Shi Fengju hesitantly took a quick glimpse at Sang Wan discreetly. Her eyes bright eyes and her expression which showed no sign of wanting to head to bed ignited a war in his heart. In the end, there was no way of winning against the fiery rage from his stomach; giving a faint cough, he ordered Zhide. "Have the kitchen prepare a bowl of noodles for my supper. Go!"
Sang Wan and Zhide glanced at each other subconsciously for a moment. Their thoughts were truly on the same page – Sir just had his dinner not too long ago, and now he already wants supper?
