398 Good Reason (3)

Then, he heard Xuanyuan Ce’s voice. “Sure.”

“I haven’t gotten the money for the repairs yet. I’ll endure it!” he thought to himself.

Seeing that the old monk could not even walk steadily, Shen Yijia shook her head. How could his body recover without eating meat?

“Do you like fish?” Xuanyuan Ce asked as he looked at the fish on the ground.

Shen Yijia realized that he was asking her. She shook her head and nodded. She said seriously, “I like meat. If it’s free, I like it even more.”

So the point was that these fish were free?

Xuanyuan Ce estimated the money needed to repair a temple and rubbed his forehead.

“Then come here and catch it if you want to eat it in the future. You don’t have to be polite to that old bald donkey.”

Xuanyuan Ce did not realize that even though he was certain that this girl was not his daughter, he could not help but want to satisfy her.

Shen Yijia grinned. “Sure.”

The face in front of him overlapped with the person in his memory. Xuanyuan Ce was in a daze and asked, “Where’s your mother?”

A man asked her mother instead of her father. Shen Yijia looked at him strangely and then at Chu Feng, who was also puzzled.

No wonder she felt that this beautiful uncle’s att.i.tude towards her was strange. Could it be that he was once her mother’s admirer? The kind who loved but could not get her?

She started imagining a whole scenario in her head. Because her mother was married, the beautiful uncle was heartbroken and left his hometown. He only returned to his hometown recently.

Shen Yijia imagined it and felt that her mother had bad taste. This person was much better-looking than Shen Pingxiu.

She thought for a moment before answering him. “My mother died.”

“So stop thinking about her.” she thought.

Shen Yijia did not think twice. This person didn’t even know her. How would he know who her mother was?

If he knew her, how could he not know that Madam w.a.n.g had been dead for more than ten years?

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ce realized what he had asked. Even though he knew that the person Shen Yijia was talking about was not Ji Luo, his heart still ached.

Shen Yijia noticed and thought that he was sad to hear about Madam w.a.n.g’s death. She did not know how to comfort him, so she changed the topic. “Do you want to eat fish?”

At the mention of Madam w.a.n.g’s death, she remembered what she had to do in the capital. She had been so busy cleaning up the residence these past few days that she had almost forgotten about Shen Pingxiu.

“Alright.” Xuanyuan Ce suppressed his emotions and nodded.

Before Chu Feng could stop him, his lord took the fish from the woman and took a bite without looking.

If he had not been by Xuanyuan Ce’s side all day, Chu Feng would have suspected that this woman, who he had only met three times, had poisoned his lord.

This was like giving poison to someone.

Xuanyuan Ce was stunned as soon as he took a bite. He looked up and met Shen Yijia’s sparkling eyes, as if asking him, “Is it delicious?”

Shen Yijia did indeed ask, “Is it delicious?”

Xuanyuan Ce swallowed the bitter fish. “Not bad.”

The bitterness was because the outside was burnt, and the fishy smell was because the inside was not cooked at all.

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that her culinary skills had improved. She immediately generously gave him all the roasted fish. “Then eat more.”

Instead, she rubbed Furball’s head comfortingly. “Uncle helped us. Let him eat all the fish this time. I’ll roast them for you again another day.”

Furball was so touched that it almost cried. Its tail wagged to express its good mood.

“That’s not good.” For the first time, Xuanyuan Ce felt like he had shot himself in the foot. However, he could not refuse the girl.

“There’s nothing wrong with it. Furball won’t be angry.”

Furball immediately nodded.

There were also a few large animals domesticated in the royal beast park of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, but none of them were so intelligent. Normally, Xuanyuan Ce would be surprised, but he was no longer in the mood.

Shen Yijia watched as he finished one and immediately handed over another. After watching for a while, she started cleaning up the place.

Xuanyuan Ce looked at the grilled fish in his hand and suggested, “It’s getting late. Why don’t you go down the mountain first? I’ll get Chu Feng to help you clean up.”

“No need, no need. I’ve promised the abbot, so I’ll definitely do it. Hurry up and eat. It won’t taste good when it gets cold.” Shen Yijia’s hands moved quickly, and she would look back at Xuanyuan Ce from time to time.

She had no choice. She realized that this person looked good when he ate.

Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.

Chu Feng had been by Xuanyuan Ce’s side for more than ten years. This was the first time he had seen him give someone so much leeway. It was obvious that the fish was not delicious, but His Highness ate it without changing his expression.

Chu Feng was puzzled and wanted to laugh at the same time. He suppressed his laughter and shrugged.

“Chu Feng, you must be hungry too. Let’s eat together.” Xuanyuan Ce’s cold voice sounded.

Chu Feng shuddered. “Your Highness, that doesn’t seem appropriate.”

Xuanyuan Ce sneered and remained silent.

Chu Feng immediately cowered and took the fish in fear and trepidation. He had thought of sacrificing himself for his lord, but he never thought that he would die eating fish for him.

Shen Yijia did not know about the conflict between the master and servant. When she cleaned up the side of the pond, the two of them had finished the fish.

She nodded in satisfaction and greeted the two of them. She sat on Furball’s back with a string of fish and happily went down the mountain.

They went back the way they came.

She did not know that not long after she left, Xuanyuan Ce fainted.

Chu Feng was shocked. “Your Highness!”

Fortunately, this was not his daughter. Otherwise, he would have suspected that this girl was here to avenge her mother!
