Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 975 Caught by Husband, the Commander, on Their Wedding Night (8)

Shen Shuyi and Lu Heng returned home together, and both of them got into the carriage.

The man remained silent, even wiping the embroidered spring knife at his waist.

Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you going to ask me what's going on between me and the Fourth Prince?"

Her statement made her seem rather reckless.

Which man likes being cuckolded?

Lu Heng looked up at her, his tone slightly heavy, "Shen Shuyi, are you provoking me?"

"How could I dare? I'm just a little curious as to how you knew I was at Zuixianlou." Shen Shuyi tugged at the handkerchief in her hand. "Your sudden appearance made me think you had someone watching me and that you care about me."

Lu Heng remained expressionless. "Instead of letting your imagination run wild, you'd better behave yourself. Otherwise, you might as well not sit in this position as Mrs. Lu."

"Okay, I know!" Shen Shuyi snorted.

Lu Heng reminded her, "I'll be quite busy from now on. If things go smoothly, I'll send your mother back to Jiangnan as soon as possible."

Shen Shuyi understood what he meant: if she was not obedient and embarrassed him by getting into a messy relationship with Zhu Jing, she shouldn't blame him for breaking his promise without hesitation.

"Husband, may I go to the yamen with you?"

"Do you think the government office is a place where outsiders can just walk in?" Lu Heng glanced at her.

Shen Shuyi sat down next to him, her clothes touching his, her arm linked with his. "Husband, I won't get in your way. I'll just deliver lunch, is that alright?"

"Did you make this yourself?" Lu Heng looked up at her.

Shen Shuyi shook his arm, "Can't I deliver something that wasn't made by me?"

"Otherwise, how can we show sincerity?"

"Okay, I'll make it myself and deliver it."

"Is the food you cook palatable?"

"We'll find out soon enough by trying it!" Shen Shuyi boasted. "If it's delicious, you'll have to give me a reward."

Looking at the girl who was taking advantage of the situation, Lu Heng said, "You've already used the Lu family's money bank, what else do you need?"

Shen Shuyi pressed her face against Lu Heng's arm, looked up at him, and said affectionately, "Anyway, I don't want to go back to Jiangnan. It's so prosperous here. The title of Mrs. Lu is very useful."

"I want to live a good life with you, okay?"

Lu Heng stated bluntly, "There are no feelings between us."

Faced with his sharp and blunt remarks, Shen Shuyi was not annoyed, and instead asked him, "Then do you have a girl you like?"

"No."

"I don't have a man I like, so let's just make do for now, and then we can get a divorce when you find someone you like."

"I promise I won't interfere in your affairs. Isn't that better than having other ministers ask the emperor to grant you a marriage after the divorce?"

"We'll talk about it later." Lu Heng didn't say whether he agreed or not.

Shen Shuyi took this as tacit agreement and said with a smile, "Thank you, husband!"

Lu Heng felt that she changed her attitude very quickly. "You don't need to call me that in private anymore. Other than that, I don't have any special requirements for you. Just don't cause me any trouble outside."

For some reason, Lu Heng felt uneasy every time she called him "husband".

Shen Shuyi released his arm. "Alright."

He didn't like it, and she wasn't happy to call him that either.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Commander Lu?"

"Lord Lu?"

"Commander Ti?"

"Handsome guy?"

"It's still Lu Shaozhang?"

Lu Heng frowned slightly. "Shut up."

"Oh." Back at the mansion, the man went into his study to work.

When Shen Shuyi arrived at the kitchen, the servants immediately surrounded her with great respect.

There had never been a mistress in this mansion before, but now that a fairy-like Madam Lu had arrived, how could the servants dare to neglect her?

With such beauty as Madam, it's only a matter of time before she gains Lord Lu's favor. If they neglect her, they'll be in big trouble when she holds them accountable later.

"Madam, what would you like to eat? We'll make it for you right away."

Shen Shuyi hung the armband around her neck, then tightened the wide sleeves with a cross-shaped binding. "You all go out, I'll cook."

"Madam, how can this be!" The servant was startled. Seeing that she had already taken action, he quickly sent someone to inform the steward.

When the steward learned of this, he tried to persuade Lu Heng to no avail, so he had no choice but to go to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was in his study organizing the account book Su Jing had mentioned, verifying its authenticity, when he suddenly heard that Shen Shuyi had actually gone to the kitchen to cook. He raised an eyebrow.

"Let her be."

The butler nodded quickly and asked, "Sir, shall we hand over the stewardship to Madam now?"

Lu Heng didn't even look up. "No rush."

Who knows if they'll divorce then? It's too early to say.

Shen Shuyi looked at the ingredients in the kitchen. She had previously said that making lotus leaf rice was too monotonous, so she decided to make a few more dishes.

She planned to have a couple of drinks with Lu Heng later, so she made a Kung Pao Chicken dish that goes well with alcohol. She diced chicken thigh meat, stir-fried it quickly with peanuts, dried chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns, and it was savory, spicy, and delicious.

One chicken can be prepared in many ways. The chicken carcass can be stewed with yam, and then combined with poria cocos, lotus seeds, Solomon's seal rhizome, and lily bulbs to make a soup that nourishes yin and moistens the lungs. It is delicious and tasty.

Chicken breast can be stir-fried with shredded pear. Cut the chicken breast into shreds, coat with egg white, stir-fry in hot oil until it changes color, then add shredded pear to enhance the flavor, thicken with cornstarch and serve. It's a combination of meat and vegetables, sweet and fragrant.

She saw that there were still large oranges as dessert in the kitchen, so she selected two large oranges, cut off the tops and pulp, leaving the shells, stuffed them with crab meat and crab roe, steamed them, and served them with the orange shells on.

Shen Shuyi learned about Lu Heng's preferences from the cook. This man didn't seem to be picky about food, but most men like to eat meat, so she made Dongpo pork.

There was also garlic shrimp, and the last dish was blanched bok choy. It wasn't difficult to make; good ingredients make it delicious.

These few dishes were enough to keep her busy for most of the day. By the time all the dishes were on the table, she was so tired that she sat down and drank some soup, but didn't touch her chopsticks much.

Looking at the table full of dishes, and then at Shen Shuyi, Lu Heng felt a strong appetite just by looking at them, even though he hadn't tasted them yet.

"You did it all?"

“Of course, I never lie.” Shen Shuyi looked at the man who had sat down. “Want to try some?”

Lu Heng's first bite landed on the Dongpo pork. The braised pork was fatty but not greasy, and very delicious. Even though he never indulged in food, he had to admit that Shen Shuyi's cooking skills were indeed quite good.

"How is it?" Shen Shuyi put some shredded chicken on his plate.

"Not bad." Lu Heng noticed red marks and blisters on her back. He frowned. "What happened to your hands?"

Shen Shuyi quickly withdrew her hand, "I just got splashed with oil, it's nothing."

Lu Heng put down his chopsticks. "Has the medicine been applied?"

“I’ve applied it, my husband. Oh no, Shao Zhang, you can continue eating. I really have applied the medicine.” Shen Shuyi held out her hand and waved it in front of him. “Smell it, does it smell like medicine?”

Lu Heng saw a section of snow-white wrist and smelled a faint fragrance, like the scent of herbs.

"Don't step into the kitchen again."

"Why? I still have to bring you food!"

"I'm afraid you'll burn down the kitchen." Lu Heng ate slowly and gracefully, unlike a martial artist.

Shen Shuyi's voice was pleasant yet haughty, "If I don't go into the kitchen, you'll probably never taste such delicious food again!"

Lu Heng glanced at her with his deep eyes, then continued eating without saying a word.

Shen Shuyi poured herself a glass of wine and filled Lu Heng's glass to the brim. "Shaozhang, shall we have a drink?"

"Speaking of which, we haven't drunk the nuptial wine yet."

Lu Heng's expression hardened, and he put down his chopsticks.
