The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 159

Fan'er doesn't have delicate thought and insight at all, only knows that Su Min is not picky, and after being with her for more than ten years, he can't even notice that she has lost her sense of taste, so it's useless for him to ask.

Seemingly wanting to prove that Su Min is not just being perfunctory, but that he is a good cook, Fan Er argued hard. "Actually, the young lady has a good sense of taste, so when the old master was still there, I often let the young lady taste wine."

This sentence made Nangong Zheng realize that something was wrong, and his smile gradually disappeared. "Now that the Su family's wine business is developing so well, have you ever seen her tasting wine?"

"No, it's all for those brewers to taste." Ban'er shook his head and replied.

Nangong Zheng's brows were furrowed even tighter, and he pressed the question without letting go. "When will it start?" If she lied again, she was not born with a handicap, then, is there still a hidden secret, is there still a difficulty?Why would she lie?
"Miss hasn't tasted wine for about eight or nine years. If you calculate it this way, Mrs. Su and Miss have only lived in the mansion not long ago..." Ban'er wrung her fingers and murmured in a low voice.

"Could it be." Nangong Zhengjun's face darkened, and more gloomy colors covered his eyes, which were so thick that they couldn't be wiped away.

Is it their conspiracy again?

His eyes darkened. Before leaving the capital, some of his subordinates told him that Su Yu had been taken away from the army by Zhou Yan, and he must have returned to Luo City alive.

It seemed that he needed to meet her.

Embankment by the river.

A blue light sedan chair stopped, and a white catkin lifted up the dark purple curtain, she stepped out of the sedan chair slowly, and hurried to the front.

About a hundred people gathered on the bank of the river, crowding the river bank to the brim, and there were also many poor people gathered on both sides, which seemed more lively than any grand festival.

At a glance, there are all thick and strong men in sight. They have raised their cuffs, and some of them are even naked, with coarse trousers and bare feet. These are workers from the whole city hired by the Su family.

The leading master saw Su Min's figure sharply, and roared like a bell. "Miss Su, you are finally here, we are all waiting for your order to start work!"

Su Min raised his hand, and the three servants ran to follow. They picked out a lot of steamed buns, pastries and herbal tea, and put them aside.

She looked at them with a smile, her eyes were clear, and her voice revealed concern. "I sent someone to bring tea and cakes. Everyone is full and drunk, so it's not too late to start."

"Miss is worthy of being the head of the family, she is thoughtful." The master laughed, raised his hand, and the man behind him walked forward in an orderly manner, without any looting.

Su Min walked up to the master, glanced at the workers who were sitting and eating, his eyes darkened, and he asked a question.

"The construction of the dam must be done before the rainy season. I think the time will not be too tight for the masters who are familiar with the road and skilled in craftsmanship."

The master took a bite of the soft and sweet steamed bun, smiled and nodded, very naturally. "There are still three months to go. It's not impossible to work hard. Besides, Miss Su is doing good things for the people of Los Angeles. Of course, we have to do our part."

"Then please."

With a smile on her face, Su Min silently turned Realization to the almost empty steamer, and there were two extra steamed buns lying in it. She bent down slightly and rushed all the way. She didn't drink a drop of water, and now she watched them eat, I'm a little hungry.

Just as she was about to reach out, she didn't expect someone to snatch the steamed bun first, but Su Min didn't lift her head. She didn't want to compete with others, let alone snatch a steamed bun with a rushing worker.

Anyway, there was only one left in the steamer, she smiled and said, "You go first."

Then, just as she was about to reach out, the last steamed bun was snatched away with one hand. She was slightly taken aback, and could only smile helplessly. It seemed that her luck was not very good today.

It was only at the moment when he raised his head that he saw that the person on the opposite side snatching the last two buns was not the worker he thought of, but Nan Gongzheng.

He took a bite of the steamed bun disapprovingly, looked at the boundless river, did not look at Su Min, but towards her, raised his right hand, and the last steamed bun was in his hand.

Su Min looked at his inexplicable action. If she wasn't hungry, why did she take two steamed buns? If she was hungry, why did she hand her one steamed bun?
She really couldn't understand him.

Liu Mei frowned slightly, and she asked softly, "Didn't Ban'er give you porridge?"

He remained silent and continued to chew on the steamed buns, as if he didn't hear anything, and didn't give any response.

"I told her, why didn't I hear it..." Su Min shook her head helplessly, presumably she spoke too hastily while walking, and Faner didn't pay attention.

Only then did Nangong Zheng speak, his eyes silently glanced across Su Min's clean face, his tone was low and teasing. "I'm done eating, but the amount she prepared for you may only feed the cat."

It was only then that Su Min realized that Fan'er knew her appetite, so the portion she brought naturally couldn't satisfy a big man like Nan Gongzheng, it was her negligence.However, how can his majesty make Fan'er not obediently deliver food and keep his stomach empty until now?

She frowned slightly, and her eyes flashed a funny emotion, which softened the original facial lines a little. "Are you still starving yourself?"

"Sounds ridiculous?" Nangong Zheng focused, still looking at Su Min's side face beside him, the light and gentle warm color dispelled her original coldness, and because of the momentary smile, she looked much cuter.

Su Min still didn't take the steamed bun from Nangong Zheng's hand, smiled and said something. "Since you're not full, eat it."

"At least I have a bowl of porridge. Didn't you eat nothing?" Nangong Zheng moved the steamed bun closer, his face already a little ugly. Doesn't this woman know that holding her hands up for a long time will make her tired and sore?

Su Min withdrew his gaze from Nangong Zheng, and looked at the scene of the workers working on the other side, with an unexpectedly calm tone. "I'll just ask my servants to go buy it again."

"That's a lot of nonsense." Nan Gongzheng's expression became even more displeased. Besides supporting so many businesses in the Su family, he never imagined that even the construction of embankments would require her, a girl, to intervene in supervision.Looking at her bloodless little face, compared with the Su Minlai I saw on the wedding night in the new house a year ago, she is much thinner and more slender.

Thinking of this, a slight anger glowed in his chest, as if he was confessing to an ignorant child, but he didn't have the natural gentle, persuasive and good temper. "Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy, and stop and rest when you are tired. This is human instinct. If you don't even understand these rules, I really wonder how you became the head of the family."

Su Min was about to argue about something, but Nan Gongzheng's eyes sank, and he stuffed the steamed bun into her mouth.

His actions are too domineering and self-righteous.

But, why did she no longer feel that he was the same as before, so scary and unapproachable?

At that moment, her mouth was gagged by the steamed bun. His force was so great that he almost stuffed the whole steamed bun into her mouth. She almost wondered if he was suspected of murdering her and choking her to death.

His breathing seemed to be blocked by the last steamed bun.

She stretched out her right hand, grabbed the corner of the steamed bun, and chewed it bit by bit, looking in the same direction as Nangong Zheng.

"Thank you."

After eating half of the steamed buns, he heard this word, which floated from his side.

He wondered, did she understand etiquette too much?He didn't even think what moved her, what made her worthy of using this precious word of gratitude.

Feeling that Nangong Zheng's eyes were full of puzzled emotions, she smiled slightly and said. "Didn't you give me the buns?"

Being able to make the emperor give up what is in his hand, even if it is a steamed bun, as a commoner, she doesn't know how to be grateful, so she may be too confident and don't know how to advance or retreat.

Nangong Zheng's eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he was exploring something. "Isn't it something you bought with money? You still say thank you." He seemed to think differently from her. He shared what should belong to her, but she could still say thank you.

Their thoughts, one day, one place.

"I said some radical things last night, forget them all, just treat it as a dream." She stopped arguing with him, and gently held the steamed bun that was still warm, her voice was soft and melting In the spring breeze.

This kind of Su Min, with the warmth that a human being should have, is very different from the indifference, stubbornness and sadness of last night.But it also attracted Nan Gongzheng to reach out and touch the cheek that may no longer be cold. Although he accidentally touched her tears last night and was scalded by that teardrop, he didn't want to see her cry again. appearance.

That kind of emotion is extremely strange, and the strangeness makes people feel hopeless.

Su Min smiled and looked at him with a calm expression, without any gloomy eyes. "I don't want to be cynical because of this. Even you are changing, how can I continue to remain the same? It will become an old antique."

"What are you thinking?" He seemed to be walking too fast, he turned his head and couldn't see her, or, she was walking too fast, in a blink of an eye, he couldn't keep up with her.All in all, the current Su Min made him unable to completely rest assured.

However, she saw his change, Nan Gongzheng told herself that, as if some emotions were calmed down.

Su Min continued to speak in his tone, black and white were distinct and clear in his calm eyes. "What I'm thinking about now is when this ancient dam can be repaired, so that Los Angeles can be saved from flooding this year."

It was no longer the absent-minded and empty pupils in the early morning, but filled with warm and true emotions. Only then did Nan Gongzheng's thin lips raise a very shallow smile, and he left a sentence without haste. "It can be seen that you have a lot of affection for Los Angeles."

"These things are what I really want to do. Now that the Su family has this ability, it will make it easier for me to complete them as soon as possible. No need, I regret it." She said it very simply.
