Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After meeting the Ye family, Su Wenwuâs heart ached even more for Ye Feiran. He could not stand thinking about how she had grown up in such a complicated environment.
Even so, she enjoyed a luxurious life. She did not suffer regarding food and clothing. Although Su Wenwuâs family was not as complicated, he barely had clothes or food.
Since the Su family had improved exponentially, Su Wenwu could have good food and a lovely home. He even had the opportunity to open multiple restaurants. He felt accomplished as he thought about his success.
âThatâs true for most prominent families. They face constant complications and internal strife,â Su Binglan added as she listened to her brother talk about the Ye family.
âStill, the more capable Feiran is, the more power sheâll have within the family. They can only listen to her arrangements.â
Su Wenwu asked, âSister, does that mean everyone in Feiranâs family will listen to her no matter what?â đređđđđđođel.cđšđ
Su Binglan nodded. âYes, thatâs right. Did you meet her parents when you visited her family?â
âYes, I did. Feiranâs parents are wonderful people. They wanted to visit Su
Teng Village and meet Father when they found out that he was their savior. However, I couldnât bring them there because of how busy I am with the shop and Feiran. Her parents keep asking me to take them to Su Teng Village.â Su Binglan raised her brows. âYou told Feiranâs parents about Father?â
She remembered Ye Feiran talking about the portrait of her familyâs benefactor, Su Fengmao.
âYeah, I did,â Su Wenvvu said, âFeiranâs parents were thrilled when I told them.
They treat me very well as if Iâm their son.â
Although he looked carefree, he was pretty observant. He could feel how well Ye Feiranâs parents treated him. It was as if they showed gratitude to Su Fengmao by being caring toward Su Wenwu.
Su Wenwu had an excellent impression of Ye Feiranâs parents, too. âHer parents are different from the other Ye family members. Since the family is so big, there are some things her parents canât decide for the family.
âThey were the ones who told Feiran to disguise herself as a man to protect her. Since Feiranâs father is a member of the main family, the rest of them wonât disagree with Feiran taking over if she pretends to be a man.â
Su Wenwu felt the situation was simply too complicated. However, Su Binglan understood something when she heard his explanation.
âNow that a new emperor has ascended the throne, all prominent families in the country must listen to his orders. Some things arenât up to these families to decide. They must listen to His Imperial Highnessâs family, too.â
Su Wenwu said, âBut the emperor is in the capital, which is in the north. Heâs probably too busy and doesnât even know whatâs happening in the south.â
He still did not know that Lan Ruozhu was the new emperor. Even the local southerners knew little about the news in the capital. Even so, they knew a new emperor had taken over.
Everyone in the South praised the new emperor because he implemented many beneficial decrees and policies for the commoners. Of course, Su Wenwu knew little about such things.
Even so, Su Binglan did not say much about it because she knew her brother would find out about it later.
She remembered why she came to the south in the first place and asked, âWenwu, do you know of anyone that stands out within the Ye family? I know you have a deep impression of Feiranâs parents, but what about anyone else? Did you notice anything different about them?â
She remembered Luo Jinâan telling her about the Black Shadow Pavilionâs master being with the Ye family. Still, she had no clue what was happening.
After some thought, Su Wenwu shook his head. âI donât remember meeting anyone else that stood out. That may be because the family has some strict rules. They have a forbidden sector in their house that others arenât allowed to enter.â
Su Binglan was shocked when she heard that. âWhat forbidden sector? Does Feiran know about it?â
Su Wenwu shook his head, saying, âShe doesnât, but I know that the family elders set it up. Even Feiranâs parents donât know whatâs in the room. Still, itâs a restricted area within the house. No one can enter, not even Feiran.
âEntering the forbidden sector violates the Ye familyâs rules. Theyâll punish you accordingly, too.â
Su Binglan was surprised as she shared a look with her husband. They felt there was something amiss with the forbidden sector. At that moment, Su Binglan considered visiting the family to investigate the room.
As the siblings talked, the crabs and crayfish arrived. Su Wenwu happily said, âSister, these are the ingredients you asked for. I told them to gather as much as possible. I hope theyâre enough.â
Su Binglan looked at the ingredients and smiled. âThatâs enough. Once I teach you how to cook them, you can start selling them. Give the customers discounts on the first day so they can try these.â
âThese will taste so good,â Su Wenwu said, eager to try them.
Su Binglan smiled. âYouâll know how good they taste once I cook them for you.â
The more mysterious she was, the more curious Su Wenwu became. He then told one of his employees to help clear the kitchen. Some of the customers were curious, while others were frightened when they saw the live ingredients.
âYoung Master Wenwu, what are these things?â
âThese are excellent ingredients. Youâll get to taste them later,â Su Wenwu said smilingly.
âHow can we eat these things?â
The customers and kitchen staff noticed the crabsâ legs and hard shells, wondering how they would eat them. Su Wenwu said, âIâll show everyone how to eat these later.â
He could not wait to follow his sister into the kitchen. Soon after, he watched Su Binglan cook spicy crabs and crayfish. Su Wenwu was in awe as he watched.
The fragrance spread throughout the kitchen and to the first and second floors of the restaurant. The customers were shocked.
âI wonder what smells so good! Just the fragrance makes me want to eat.â
âWhat are they making in the kitchen?â
âWhatever it is, I can tell itâll be exquisite.â
âThey must be cooking those things the shop owner brought just now. How do they smell so good?â
âDonât worry, everyone. Weâll know what theyâre making soon enough.â
The customers could not help but look toward the kitchen as they chatted. However, Su Wenwu had closed the doors so no one could see what was happening inside.
Although they could see nothing, they instinctively poked their heads out to take a peek, hoping they could catch a glimpse of what Su Binglan was cooking.
Most customers had eaten and drank their fills. Although they could still eat, they wanted to save space for later because they wanted to try the restaurantâs new dish.
One of the customers asked the waiter, âSir, whatâs going on in there? It smells delicious..
