Chapter 163 (1/2)

Chapter 8.7 – G.o.ddess of the Harem

It was night, and the moon was bright.

Su Wan was sitting in the small and simple airy room specially prepared for her by Bai mama. She looked out the tattered windows in boredom and counted the stars in the sky.

She just counted to one hundred and one when the dilapidated wooden door was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and then a slender figure appeared like a ghost in front of Su Wan.

Looking at Su Rui who suddenly appeared in casual clothing, Su Wan stood up and smiled at him, “You’ve come?”

“En.”

Su Rui stared at Su Wan while sizing up the room: “How can anyone live in such a place?”

Blu: How does Su Rui stare at Su Wan while sizing up the room at the same time? I dunno, don’t ask me. Maybe he looked at Su Wan with one eye and looked around the room with his other eye. ┐(´ー｀)┌

Teh: Now you have the image of lazy eyed Su Rui in your mind.

His brow furrowed tightly, a cold gaze flashed in his eyes.

“It’s just something to keep up the facade in front of Yan Yunuo. Who said I wanted to live here?”

Su Wan raised her eyebrow at Su Rui: “Don’t you want me to sleep with you? Or…do you want to invite some imperial concubine to the Qiankun Palace to attend to you?”

“Of course not. Naturally, I want to sleep with you, my wife. En, it’s also not too early now, I…”

“Have you not eaten yet?”

Su Wan interrupted Su Rui’s words. When w.a.n.g Yi left in the morning, Su Wan specifically told him to tell the Emperor that he should not eat dinner before coming here tonight.

Su Rui naturally followed what Su Wan said. Hearing Su Wan’s words, he subconsciously rubbed his stomach: “I didn’t eat. Xiao Wan, will you accompany me to eat later?”

“There is still time. Now you have to help me with something.”

Su Wan picked up an old inner servant’s uniform while sitting on her narrow wooden bed: “You should change the clothes first and then help me do some work. If it’s done well, I’ll cook for you tonight.”

To go to the length of giving him such treatment?

Hearing Su Wan’s words, Su Rui immediately put on his clothes with a beaming smile, and then looked at his wife gently: “Xiao Wan, what do you want me to do for you? Sweeping the yard or chopping wood?”

“Oh, it’s nothing much. Just sweep the toilet in the nearby palace.”

Su Wan blinked a pair of limpid black eyes and looked at Su Rui seriously, her tone still cool and calm as ever.

Sweep, sweep the toilet?

“Wife, are you joking?”

“Look at my eyes, I’m being serious.”

Su Wan stared at Su Rui in dead earnestness: “You have to do the full set if you want to act. Now, everyone in the Xinzheku knows that I have offend Bai mama, so it is natural that I would do the most dirty and tiring work.”

Although it sounds very reasonable, Su Rui felt that the gaze his wife used to look at him was a bit strange. Was she scamming him?

Eh. Isn’t it, isn’t it just cleaning the toilets? It’s a lot better than shovelling p.o.o.p?

There is nothing in this world that can defeat our General Su!

For the sake of his wife and for the delicacies that his wife will personally make, General Su was ready to risk his life.

Seeing that Su Rui really took out the tools and left the courtyard, Su Wan did not follow him. She knew that Su Rui would always do what he said he would. He would not deceive others and disdained doing so.

Soon, Su Rui was back with a cold face. As soon as he entered the house, he was accompanied by an unpleasant smell. Seeing him look disgusted with himself, Su Wan covered her mouth and laughed: “Don’t pull such a long face. I’ll help you change your clothes. Shall we go back to Qiankun Palace?”

“Ok.”

Su Rui responded in low spirits. He must take a good bath after returning……

The moon shone brilliantly in the middle of the dark sky, its luminous glow looked hazy bouncing off the fog around the Qiankun Palace. After Su Rui brought Su Wan back, he ordered everyone else to leave. Besides w.a.n.g Yi, no one else knew that there was one more person in the Emperor’s palace.

After soaking in the warm water and smelling the pleasant scent from fragrances that were added into the bath, Su Rui finally sighed in comfort.

“Have you finished was.h.i.+ng up?”

At this time, Su Wan’s voice suddenly came over. Su Rui looked up and saw Su Wan, who was only wearing white undergarment, carrying over a bowl of soup with a smile.

At the moment, the previous master of Su Wan’s body was less than fifteen years old. Although she had reached a marriageable age in the Dashang Dynasty, her face was still young and her figure had not fully developed. Her revealing, exquisite figure under the white coat made General Su can’t help but turn his face away. Your mother, he couldn’t continue watching. If he looked any longer, he would commit a crime.

“Are you hungry?”

At this time, Su Wan was already sitting by the bath. A pair of snow-white feet splashed the water gently: “Come here, I will feed you soup. I made it myself!”

“Oh.”

Su Rui swam to Su Wan naked. Seeing him raise his head and stare at her with such bright eyes, Su Wan couldn’t help being in a good mood. She picked up a spoon to scoop a spoonful of soup and gently held it in front of Su Rui.

Seeing Su Rui drink everything, Su Wan smiled at him: “Was it delicious?”

“Delicious.”

Su Rui nodded, the soup his wife made was definitely the best soup in the world.

“Since it’s delicious, you should drink it all.”

Speaking of Su Wan, she gave Su Rui another spoonful of soup. The bead curtains that had never stopped swaying amongst the dense mist of the bath. The atmosphere of the two getting along was intimately warm, but, after a quarter of an hour —

“Wife.”

Su Rui’s voice was a little husky and the gaze he looked at Su Wan with became a little dull: “What did you put in the soup?”
