Chapter 137: Origin Mystery
Xiao Jihan said, "The Shen family's situation is complicated. The head of the Shen family is Shen Ci'an's mother. Shen Ci'an has many brothers and sisters. The head of the Shen family values ​​female beasts more. Male beasts can be used to arrange marriages and connect relationships between various families."

“Shen Ci’an’s appearance is exceptionally unique. The head of the Shen family originally intended to use him to climb the social ladder.”

"So we chose the eldest daughter of the Wu family for him, hoping he would marry her."

The wife knew what happened next: the Wu family committed a crime and were exiled, the Shen family canceled the engagement, and Shen Ci'an married into the Su family.

Of course, the Wu family's family background is incomparable to that of the Su family.

But the Wu family is much better off than the Shen family.

The head of the Shen family was adept at scheming, had many lovers in his harem, and numerous children.

"If Shen Ci'an regains his freedom, he will likely be taken back by the Shen family head for a marriage alliance."

"So he probably won't leave."

Su Muyao immediately found the crux of the problem, "I see."

"If that's the case, things will be much easier. I'll help him resolve the Shen family issue, and once he regains his freedom, no one will be forcing him. So, he should be willing to leave, right?"

Su Muyao thought that this would make Shen Ci'an leave.

To her, Shen Ci'an's behavior was strange and uncontrollable.

Su Muyao wished she could immediately hand him a divorce letter and make him leave as soon as possible.

But before, they all couldn't wait to leave, but now they all insist on staying.

Su Muyao frowned deeply at this thought.

Xiao Jihan replied with a clear and gentle voice, "Perhaps!"

Shen Ci'an acts strangely, and his temperament and preferences are unpredictable to others.

However, seeing Su Muyao's expression, Xiao Jihan knew that his wife had no feelings for Shen Ci'an, so he was relieved.

Next, Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan started making dinner together.

Su Muyao is preparing to make Mapo Tofu, Braised Tofu with Cabbage, Steamed Tofu with Minced Meat, Stuffed Tofu, Stewed Tofu in an Iron Pot, and Tomato Tofu Soup.

Add some meat and vegetables.

There's really no other way. There are so many people now, and they all have big appetites. If we don't cook more, it simply won't be enough for them.

This made Su Muyao realize even more that she really needed to store enough food before the snow season arrived.

When it came to cooking meat dishes, Su Muyao simply took some meat from the ice cellar.

It was noticeable that there wasn't much meat left in the ice cellar.

"We still need to hunt more wild animals tomorrow."

Xiao Jihan said gently, "My lady, you don't need to worry about food. I will hunt more tomorrow."

Su Muyao nodded and smiled, saying, "I can hunt for food now."

"Young Master Yun will arrange for someone to help set up those two shops in Yunxiao City. After the hunt tomorrow, you can prepare your things and go to Yunxiao City to open the shops."

Xiao Jihan could sense that Su Muyao would smile whenever she talked about opening a shop and doing business.

He thought this was something she would enjoy doing.

"Has the mistress decided what food to make?"

Xiao Jihan remembered his wife saying that one of them would run a restaurant and the other a clinic.

He was worried that she would be overworked and wanted to share some of the burden with her.

Su Muyao had had this idea for a long time, and she had been thinking about it.

She began to explain, "Opening a Su Ji restaurant allows you to make a variety of foods."

"Prepare food using seasonal vegetables."

"However, after observing for a while, I found that people still prefer to eat meat."

"So you can start by making some meat pies, which will make it easier to open up the market."

This is probably because the beastmen of the Beast World are used to eating meat, and also because eating meat may help them maintain their energy and strength.

She usually makes noodles for Wen Nanxi and the others, which they like to eat, but they get hungry more easily if they eat noodles without meat.

They still eat mostly meat and vegetables.

Xiao Jihan said gently, "I will do it for my wife."

Su Muyao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you are tired, you can rest. This is something I want to do myself. I don't want to make you all work so hard."

Xiao Jihan knew that he couldn't be tongue-tied at this moment.

Fearing that Su Muyao might misunderstand, he quickly said, "It's no trouble at all. I'm very happy to be by my wife's side and do these things with her."

"And this work is very, very light."

He has superpowers, so this task is incredibly easy for him; it's impossible for him to get tired. "If I'm making pies, I'll hunt more wild boars tomorrow; there are plenty of them in the mountains."

Xiao Jihan cooked with Su Muyao, knowing that Su Muyao usually used wild boar meat when cooking meat dishes.

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Okay."

With Wen Nanxi and the others around, she does feel much more relaxed.

Even though she has formed a bond with Wen Nanxi, she doesn't want to rely on either of them.

However, she also wanted to be kind to them.

With a career and the ability to succeed, she can do more.

If she controlled the economic power of the Beast World Continent, even the high-ranking royals wouldn't be able to decide her life or death at will.

We can't just exile her whenever we want.

Thinking of this, Su Muyao's expression became stern and sharp.

"Also, if there's time, I need to go to Cloud City to retrieve the items I had the blacksmith make before."

There was a small boiler and some tools.

"I still need to tidy up the shop..."

Speaking of Yunxiao City, Su Muyao thought of Yun Qinglan, wondering how he was doing now.

I had promised to go and check on the prescription again in a few days to adjust it, but so many days have passed.

She's been really busy lately.

……

After drinking the soy milk, Mei Qingchen and the others worked faster.

However, while working, Mei Qingchen couldn't help but reminisce: "This soy milk is so delicious."

"My wife is really good at cooking. I wonder what delicious food to make for dinner."

He's feeling hungry now.

Wen Nanxi knew that Mei Qingchen's mind was currently preoccupied with food, and she probably didn't even understand what was going on in terms of relationships.

Shen Ci'an seemed to be deep in thought.

I thought she was just talking about cooking, but I didn't expect her to actually be able to cook.

He had never drunk soy milk before, and it was indeed very good.

She used to not even be able to identify ingredients and had never been to the kitchen.

They even looked down on the people who cooked in the kitchen.

Things are really... very different now.

This made him increasingly feel that she was full of secrets and her origins were a mystery.

……

Just as everyone was busy with their own things, the Yun family's carriage arrived at the Beiluo tribe.

A luxurious yet understated carriage stopped at the entrance.

The housekeeper got off the carriage and excitedly went to knock on the door.

Inside the carriage, Yun Qinglan said softly, "Uncle Yun, wait a moment. I'll knock on the door myself to show my sincerity."

In the past, the cloud housekeeper might have tried to persuade him.

However, thinking that his young master's health had recently improved, he smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling into slits, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his young master down from the carriage.

When Yun Qinglan traveled, he was accompanied by many subordinates.

The carriage was surrounded by several guards, and there were also skilled bodyguards secretly accompanying it.

Suddenly, Butler Yun smelled a delicious aroma, and his mouth watered. He swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and said, "Young Master, what smells so good?"

As if struck by a thought, Yun Qinglan's handsome features flashed with a soft light. "It's the smell of food."

Butler Yun said, "Perhaps it's Miss Su cooking again. I've heard that Miss Su often cooks delicious food. Miss Su's husband is really lucky to have such a good meal."

“If it were any other female animal, it would never be able to enter the kitchen.”

Sigh, can't his son be a little more proactive?

This time, it was because the old man saw that Miss Su hadn't gone to the City Lord's Mansion for the young master's treatment, and he didn't want Miss Su to make the trip herself.

This prompted them to bring the young master on a personal trip.

I will listen to your good suggestions as long as the plot progresses smoothly. It's all for the good of the book, so please read with confidence. The male characters won't force our heroine; her wishes will prevail. For example, regarding the word "乖" (guai, meaning obedient/well-behaved), since many people have commented on it, I will no longer use that word. I've deleted any instances of "乖" before. I hope everyone has a good reading experience. Thank you all for your hard work! I've seen all your support and encouragement, and I'm truly touched. You are all so kind; your support has healed my heart. Thank you, I love you all, goodnight, everyone take care of yourselves and get some rest.
