Chapter 988: Wash, Starch, and Sew
Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu, then said mildly, “If you want to leave, then leave. This prince won’t force you to stay.”
Ning Shu did want to just leave and be done with all of this, but the moment she recalled the task, she had no way of being unyielding and saying outright the words she really wanted to say: this ma’am wasn’t going to play with you anymore!
Although she only knew how to mix random things with rice to simmer out a thing, she was certain that the moment she left, Xuan Hongyu would end up having to eat dirt.
And would someone like Xuan Hongyu be able to look after his son?
He insisted on adopting this child without any thought, but did he have the ability to look after this child?
Ning Shu grimaced as she very unwillingly said, “Master is joking. This subordinate is Master’s hidden guard, how could this subordinate leave Master’s side?”
Xuan Hongyu nodded, then said, “For the time being, don’t enter the city to buy things.”
“Understood.” Ning Shu’s mouth twitched. Of course there was no way she’d head into the city in this kind of situation. She was more worried that Xuan Hongyu would cause some other kind of trouble.
“Master, you shouldn’t go either,” said Ning Shu.
Xuan Hongyu nodded, then set down his chopsticks. “It’s seriously too much to eat this every day. Next time, use some oil and stir-fry something.”
“Master, the porridge has meat and vegetables. It’s very healthy,” said Ning Shu. “The child also likes eating it.”
During this recent period of time, Xuan Hongyu had been behaving himself. He was either reading some difficult to understand books to Xuan Miexiao or going to the river to fish. He seemed to be completely at leisure.
However, Ning Shu’s heart was filled with trepidation. When she saw Xuan Hongyu courting death, her heart would tremble with fear. Even now when he stopped courting death, her heart still trembled uneasily.
Encountering a master like this was practically the result of eighteen lifetimes of b.l.o.o.d.y misfortune!
However, one thing that made Ning Shu rather happy was that Xuan Miexiao was now able to lean against the wall and slowly walk on his own. From time to time, he’d even make a few simple sounds. It was clear that he was also trying to learn to speak by mimicking Ning Shu and Xuan Hongyu.
She suddenly felt proud like she was a mom. Although Xuan Hongyu had taken this child to be his son, he didn’t really take care of him. Ning Shu was the one doing all the raising.
Sometimes she’d be able to sew a simple garment. Life sure was rough. A person that only knew how to wield a blade now had to pick up an embroidery needle and sew.
All she did all day was wash, starch, and sew. Aside from that, she cooked and managed the household duties.
Every world truly came with a brand-new way of life.
However, these repet.i.tive days were very tiring and mentally exhausting. For women to stay at home and deal with all the household ch.o.r.es was just as tiring, if not more, as working at a company.
Ning Shu very much hoped that when Eleven came back, she would be able to find her own happiness instead of pinning her everything on Xuan Hongyu. She didn’t want Eleven to continue waiting for Xuan Hongyu to simply give her missions and standing behind Xuan Hongyu without any questions or grudge.
Even if others treated her as a tool, she shouldn’t treat herself as a tool. Every human felt joy and pain. Eleven had the right to pursue her own happiness and become happy.
Xuan Hongyu’s att.i.tude towards Eleven was that she was a tool. What feelings could he possibly have towards a tool? Even now, although he was in dire straits, in front of her he still seemed aloof and remote.
His way of thinking was already fixed. It was just like whether a farmer would bother to be polite towards the hoe he was holding.
Hence, Ning Shu hoped that Eleven would be able to have her own life in the future instead of continuing to treat Xuan Hongyu as her mental support pillar.
In all honesty, someone with this sort of status like Xuan Hongyu wouldn’t consider the well-being of someone like Eleven at all before doing something. Meanwhile, a person like Eleven had to risk her life for Xuan Hongyu.
So many hidden guards had died to rescue Xuan Hongyu, but he hadn’t said a word about it.
