The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 38 Letter of Dissolution

The washed pig intestines and lungs can be used today, and it would be nice to make a dish for lunch.

"Madam Zhang, peel the radishes and I'll pickle the vegetables."

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Zhang agreed readily.

She saw that her lady had been busy these days and had lost weight.

If Lord Song saw this, he would definitely blame her for being an ignorant servant and making his mistress tired.

But Shen Yan insisted on working, and no one could stop her.

Nanny Zhang felt that it was good for Shen Yan to be more diligent, which was much better than Lord Song marrying a lazy woman.

Shen Yan thought that after a while, after she finished embroidering the picture of two dragons playing with a pearl and got the remaining eight taels of silver, she would definitely buy a set of clothes for Song Yunfeng as well, no matter whether he would appreciate it or not.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and I haven’t bought a new cotton-padded jacket yet. If I continue to wear this, I’m afraid I’ll catch a cold in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan took a stick, walked and stopped, and arrived at the foot of the mountain not far away.

This alley is relatively remote and close to the mountain. Shen Yan wants to find wild garlic sprouts.

Wild garlic sprouts are very rare and usually grow in clusters, which is different from garlic.

She planned to dig some wild garlic and plant it. If she planted it at home, it could be used as a seasoning. Anyway, the taste was excellent.

Shen Yan came to the foot of the mountain and looked around. A peaceful mountain field appeared before her.

She stepped carefully on the soft soil, looking for traces of wild garlic and ginger seedlings.

In the sunshine, clumps of green grass swayed, as if whispering, telling the beauty of nature.

Shen Yan walked quietly along the path at the foot of the mountain, occasionally squatting down to check the ground, looking for traces of wild garlic and ginger seedlings.

After searching for a while, she finally found a few tender green garlic sprouts in the grass. She was delighted and walked quickly forward, carefully digging up these wild garlic sprouts, not forgetting to leave some roots to protect this natural beauty.

Then, she found some tender green ginger seedlings growing in a cool and humid place nearby. Shen Yan dug them up carefully, her heart full of anticipation for these natural spices.

As the wild garlic and ginger sprouts were put into the basket, Shen Yan showed a satisfied smile. These wild plants will add more flavor and fragrance to her kitchen, and it is also a kind of gratitude and respect for nature.

After collecting wild garlic and ginger seedlings, Shen Yan slowly returned home with the basket on her back. She was full of expectations for the future, hoping that she could use these natural spices to make more delicious dishes.

As it gradually grew darker, Shen Yan decided to go home, and this time she returned with a full load.

There were not many wild garlic and ginger sprouts, and she dug up almost all of those she could find at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Yan carried a bamboo basket on her back. She felt it was more convenient to go out this way, and it could hold a lot of things.

After I went back, as soon as I walked into the alley, I smelled the fragrance.

Not long after, I saw Wang Jun and Wang Lin from Uncle Wang's family in the backyard, helping Aunt Zhang cook.

"Madam is back."

"These two brats insisted on coming. I said I didn't need their help, but they insisted on coming and causing trouble for me."

Shen Yan knew that Aunt Zhang had no bad intentions, she just thought that the child was incapable of doing the work.

The food smelled delicious. Wang Jun was helping to light the fire and was doing his job very well.

In the intervals between making fire, he was reading a book, which showed that he was a hard-working student.

Wang Lin stood by, unable to help at all. He just stared at the pot, waiting for the meal to be served.

Shen Yan looked into the pot, which contained carrot and meat soup. She also took out some bones.

The aroma has already been boiled out, and there is not much that can be eaten here. The bones are for enhancing the flavor.

The radish is stewed with pig's trotters. When the trotters are cooked soft, the bones will fall off, so she takes out the bones.

"Madam Zhang, it's almost dry. Add some more water. It's not soft enough yet. Let it cook for a while longer."

"If you and the children are hungry, eat some first. It's cooked now. It just needs to be cooked a little longer so that it will taste better."

After finishing, Shen Yan took some things and sent them to Uncle Wang's house in the backyard.

This is the carrot soup she just served. She wanted to give it to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang in the backyard. These two little guys helped a lot at home today, so she has to thank them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he met Shen Xiucai.

Ever since he was sued by his own daughter in court a few days ago, Mr. Shen has been furious. However, seeing that Shen Yan had not returned to her parents' home in the past few days, he thought of coming over to see her.

In fact, he didn't come to see his daughter on purpose. He just happened to pass by and wanted to see if Shen Yan had been divorced by her husband.

Now when I looked over, I saw Shen Yan holding something delicious and delivering it to the neighbor's house.

Shen Xiucai was so angry that he said in a veiled tone, "This little girl is just like your mother. She is so ungrateful that she doesn't care about her own father and gives away good things to outsiders."

Shen Yan ignored him and walked straight to Uncle Wang's house in the backyard.

Little did they know that behind Mr. Shen there was a woman named Zhao, and the couple sneaked into the Song Mansion.

They also smelled the fragrance, so they followed it into the kitchen, picked up spoons and scooped the meat from the big pot to eat.

"Hurry up and serve more."

"This damn girl made delicious food but she didn't even think about her parents."

Zhao's greedy face was clearly visible. "But seeing that it's just carrot soup, I feel a little disgusted."

"Hurry up and take it back and throw it to the pigs in the pigsty. After all, it's bone soup and can also nourish the sows."

Wouldn't this save another mouth? No need to take out extra food from home to feed the pigs.

Nanny Zhang was so frightened that she dared not even breathe, and the two children hid behind him. The couple who suddenly appeared were like robbers.

"Who are you and how dare you touch our things?" Nanny Zhang asked from a distance.

"Who are we? We are the relatives of your Master Song, the father and mother of Shen Yan. What's wrong with eating some of your food?"

Aunt Zhang didn't care. "But Madam clearly said that she has signed a severance agreement with you two, and the Shen family and the Song family have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"How can a servant like you have the right to speak here?" Zhao was unreasonable.

Shen Yan came back with the basket and saw Zhao and Xiucai squandering money in the kitchen. She was so angry that her brows furrowed and she walked over angrily.

"What are you doing?!" Shen Yan asked loudly, her voice full of anger and dissatisfaction.

When Zhao and Xiucai heard the voice, they looked up at Shen Yan with unnatural expressions on their faces.
