TFWYH – Chapter 506 People from the Prime Minister’s Residence

Tang Wan frowned slightly. After a moment’s hesitation, she still let him in. “He’s cooking. Please sit for a moment—I’ll go pour you some water.”

“Cooking?” The man frowned and glanced toward the kitchen, then looked at Tang Wan disapprovingly. “A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. How can you let him cook?”

Tang Wan: ?

What nonsense about “a gentleman staying away from the kitchen”? Have you studied yourself stupid?

Besides, whether my husband cooks or not—what business is it of yours? Who do you think you are?

Fine!

No tea for you.

Tang Wan shot him a glare and turned to leave.

Don’t hit him. Be patient. Don’t cause trouble for my husband!

Seeing her attitude, the man snorted coldly. “What an ignorant woman.”

Tang Wan stopped, turned back, and looked at him. “May I ask who you are?”

“I am the steward of the Prime Minister’s residence!” the man said proudly.

“Oh.” Tang Wan nodded, then said bluntly, “So, just a lackey.”

The man froze for a few seconds, then flew into a rage. “You—you dare speak to me like that?”

Tang Wan sneered. “Why wouldn’t I? Aren’t you just a lackey? Not only that, you’re a self-righteous one. You come into someone else’s home and start meddling in their affairs—what does it have to do with you? Is everyone in the Prime Minister’s residence this uncultured?”

“How dare you!” the man shouted, trembling as he pointed at her. “You dare slander the Prime Minister’s residence?”

Just as Tang Wan was about to say more, Ling Yu came out. “Wan’er, the fish soup is almost ready. Help me watch the fire.”

“Oh!” Tang Wan immediately slipped into the kitchen, no longer bothering with the obnoxious lackey.

Only after she left did Ling Yu turn to the man. “Do you have business with me?”

The man finally remembered his purpose and snorted. “My master invites you.”

Ling Yu replied, “The Prime Minister must be extremely busy. Why would he summon me? Is there something important?”

The man said impatiently, “Why ask so many questions? If you’re told to go, then go—stop dawdling!”

Ling Yu had originally intended to refuse, but when he thought of a certain person in the Prime Minister’s residence, the refusal changed to: “Please wait a moment while I change clothes.”

With that, he turned and went back into the kitchen without waiting for a response, telling Tang Wan that he needed to go out for a while.

Tang Wan frowned. “Then what about the fish soup?”

Leave it to her?

Come on—what if she blew up the kitchen again?

“I’ll have Qingfeng come watch it. Once it’s done, you eat it yourself. Don’t wait for me.”

“Oh…”

Tang Wan lowered her head in disappointment, feeling extremely annoyed. She mentally cursed that Prime Minister’s lackey a hundred times over.

Damn it, what terrible timing!

Doesn’t he know her handsome husband is hungry?

Showing up right at mealtime to drag him away—what an idiot!

“Be good. I’ll be back soon,” Ling Yu said, patting her head to comfort her before leaving.

Tang Wan sighed, suddenly losing her appetite.

Mu Qingfeng appeared from the shadows, scooped up a spoonful of fish soup, and tasted it. “Delicious!”

“Who said you could drink that?” Tang Wan glared at him. “My husband made that for me!”

Mu Qingfeng: …

I know!

But it smells so good!

And I’m hungry too!

After thinking for a moment, Mu Qingfeng tried to bargain. “I’ll tell you something if you let me have a bowl?”

“Not interested,” Tang Wan replied.

Mu Qingfeng pressed on. “It’s about Miss Yuanyuan.”

Tang Wan instantly gave in. “Fine, you can have one bowl.”

Mu Qingfeng: …

That mood change was way too fast!

What a loss!

If he’d known, he would’ve asked for two bowls!
