Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Origins Shrouded in Mystery

Xiao Jihan spoke, "The Shen Family situation is complex. The Shen Family Master is Shen Ci’an’s mother. Shen Ci’an has many brothers and sisters, and the Shen Family Master values she-beasts more. To her, male beasts can be used to form alliances and connect relationships among various families."

"Shen Ci’an’s appearance is particularly special; the Shen Family Master originally planned to use him to climb up the social ladder."

"So originally, they chose the Wu Family’s legitimate daughter for him, intending for him to marry her."

Later events, the wife also knows, the Wu Family committed a crime and was exiled, the Shen Family canceled the marriage contract, and Shen Ci’an married into the Su Family.

Of course, the Wu Family can’t be compared to the Su Family in terms of family background.

But the Wu Family is much higher than the Shen Family.

The Shen Family Master is good at scheming, has many beast husbands in the backyard, and many children.

"If Shen Ci’an regains freedom, it’s likely he will be taken back by the Shen Family Master for another alliance."

"So he probably won’t leave."

Su Muyao suddenly realized the crux of the problem, "I see."

"If that’s the case, things will be easier to handle. I’ll help him solve the Shen Family’s problem. Once he regains freedom, no one will force him, then he should be willing to leave, right?"

Su Muyao thought this way she could make Shen Ci’an leave.

To her, Shen Ci’an’s actions are bizarre and uncontrollable.

Su Muyao wished she could immediately throw a divorce letter at him to make him leave quickly.

But before, everyone was eager to leave, now suddenly, they refuse to go.

Su Muyao thought about this and deeply frowned.

Xiao Jihan responded gently, "Perhaps!"

Shen Ci’an’s actions are strange, and no one can figure out his mood and preferences.

But looking at Su Muyao’s expression, Xiao Jihan knew the wife had no feelings for Shen Ci’an; he felt relieved.

Subsequently, Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan began preparing dinner together.

Su Muyao planned to make Mapo Tofu, cabbage braised tofu, minced meat steamed tofu, tofu stuffed with meat, wok simmered tofu, and tomato tofu soup.

Plus some meat dishes.

There’s really no way around it, with so many people and such large appetites. If we don’t make more, it’s simply not enough.

This made Su Muyao increasingly aware of one thing, that really enough food needs to be stored before the snow season arrives.

For meat dishes, Su Muyao directly took some meat from the ice cellar.

She noticed the meat stored in the ice cellar was running low.

"Tomorrow I still have to hunt more beasts."

Xiao Jihan gently replied, "Wife, no need to worry about food. Tomorrow, I’ll hunt down more."

Su Muyao nodded and smiled, "I can also hunt food now."

"Young Master Yun will arrange people to help with the two storefronts in Yunxiao City, so once we finish hunting tomorrow, we can prepare to open the shop in Yunxiao City."

Xiao Jihan could tell that when Su Muyao talked about opening a business, her face would light up with a smile.

He thought, this must be something she enjoys doing.

"Wife, have you decided what food to make?"

Xiao Jihan remembered the wife mentioned opening a restaurant and a clinic.

He feared she’d be tired and wanted to help share the burden.

Su Muyao had ideas a long time ago, and she had been pondering them.

She explained, "Open a Su’s Restaurant, and we can make a variety of foods."

"According to seasonal vegetables to make food."

"But after observing, it seems people still prefer meat."

"So at the beginning, we could make some meat pies, as they are easier to open the market."

It’s likely because in Beast World Continent, the beastmen are accustomed to eating meat, and for them, consuming meat probably helps maintain energy and strength.

She usually prepared noodles for Wen Nanxi and others, and they enjoyed eating, but without meat, it’s easier to feel hungry.

They still eat more meat dishes.

Xiao Jihan gently replied, "I’ll help you make them."

Su Muyao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you’re tired, you can rest. This is something I want to do myself; I don’t want to burden you."

Xiao Jihan knew that at this moment, he couldn’t be clumsy with words.

He feared Su Muyao might misunderstand, quickly adding, "It’s not troublesome; being with you, doing these things together, makes me happy."

"Besides, this amount of work is very light."

He has a superpower, so doing this is effortless and won’t tire him at all.

"If we’re making pies, tomorrow I’ll hunt more wild boars; there are many in the forest."

Xiao Jihan accompanies Su Muyao to cook, knowing she usually uses wild boar meat for meat dishes.

Su Muyao nodded, "Okay."

Indeed, with Wen Nanxi and others by her side, it is much easier for her.

But even though she contracted with Wen Nanxi, she doesn’t want to rely on them for anything.

However, she also wants to be good to them.

With a career and strength, she can do more.

If she controls the economic strength in Beast World Continent, even those in the upper royal family can’t decide her life and death easily.

They can’t exile her at will either.

Thinking of this, Su Muyao’s expression became stern and sharp.

"Also, if there’s time, go to Yunxiao City to pick up the items previously ordered from the blacksmith."

There are small boilers and some tools.

"Need to tidy up at the shop too..."

Thinking of Yunxiao City, Su Muyao remembered Yun Qinglan and wondered how his health was now.

She had originally promised to go check and adjust his prescriptions after a few days, but so much time had passed.

The truth is, she has been quite busy lately.

...

After Qing Chen and the others drank soy milk, they worked faster.

But Qing Chen couldn’t help but reminisce, "This soy milk is so delicious."

"Still, the wife makes the best food, I wonder what delicious food she will make tonight."

He now feels hungry.

Wen Nanxi knows Qing Chen’s mind is full of gourmet food, perhaps not even understanding what’s happening emotionally.

Shen Ci’an started to think deeply.

Thinking that her cooking was just talk, didn’t expect she actually makes food.

He had never drunk soy milk before, it was really good.

Back then, she couldn’t even tell ingredients apart, never entered the kitchen.

Even despising those who entered the kitchen to cook.

Now, she truly is... very different.

This makes him increasingly feel she is full of secrets, her origins mysterious.

...

While everyone was busy, the Yun Family’s carriage arrived at Beiluo Tribe.

The luxurious yet low-key carriage stopped at the entrance.

Housekeeper Yun got off the carriage, excitedly wanting to go up and knock on the door.

Inside the carriage, Yun Qinglan softly said, "Uncle Yun, wait, I’ll knock personally to show sincerity."

In the past, Housekeeper Yun might have tried to persuade him.

But thinking about how the young master has been getting better, he smiled broadly, his eyes narrowing into a line. He quickly stepped forward, reaching out to help his young master off the carriage.

When Yun Qinglan travels, there are many subordinates with him.

Several guards around the carriage, with experts and hidden guards accompanying in secret.

Suddenly, Housekeeper Yun smelled a fragrance, almost drooling. He swallowed hard, inhaling deeply, saying, "Young Master, not sure what smells so good."

Yun Qinglan thought of something and his refined eyebrows glimmered with soft light, "It’s the fragrance of food."

Housekeeper Yun said, "Perhaps it’s Miss Su cooking again. I’ve heard from subordinates that Miss Su often cooks delicacies; her beast husband is truly lucky."

"If it’s other she-beasts, it would be impossible to enter the kitchen."

Oh, his young master should be more proactive.

This time, it was the old master who noticed Miss Su hadn’t gone to the City Lord Mansion for treatment and felt it impolite to ask Miss Su to come herself.

Thus, urged them to take the young master personally for a visit.
