Chapter 1400 - Chapter 1400 Lady's care is exceedingly thorough

Chapter 1400: Lady’s care is exceedingly thorough Chapter 1400: Lady’s care is exceedingly thorough “How could the young Master make fun of you?

Even the Master scarcely gets to taste the dishes you craft with your own hands, young Master would only be delighted to know.”

“I hope Chuan’er won’t look down upon it,” her voice carried a tremble of unease.

Chef Huang looked outside the kitchen and, upon seeing Xiao Yuchuan and Su Qingyue, hurriedly greeted them with respect, “Young Master, young Mistress!”

“Has Chuan’er come?” Shen Yun’s aged face was flush with excitement, and in her distraction, she accidentally cut her hand.

Blood seeped from the cut on her fingertip.

Xiao Yuchuan had just heard the conversation between Shen Yun and Chef Huang and was already somewhat moved.

For a lady of a first-class family, nobility was inherent in her status; that she would personally cook for him and speak with such tender concern was touching.

From his childhood, whether he was right or wrong, his foster mother either beat him or scolded him, never showing him a kind face.

Facing his birth mother’s affection, it was quite natural to be moved.

He walked into the kitchen, saw the blood on Shen Yun’s finger, and frowned, “How could you be so careless?”

His remark instantly brought tears to Shen Yun’s eyes, “Chuan’er, you’re showing concern for Mom…”

Xiao Yuchuan took out a piece of white silk from his sleeve pocket, wiped the blood off her finger, then pulled out a bottle of medicine and sprinkled some medicine powder on her wound, which immediately stopped the bleeding.

Seeing her son bent over, focused on tending her wound, Shen YunaEUR”who had just wanted to put on a showaEUR”was genuinely touched, “Chuan’er…”

“If you can’t cook, then don’t bother.” After Xiao Yuchuan tore a corner of the white silk to wrap her wound, he said coldly, “You brought two imperial chefs from the capital, just let them do the cooking.”

“No matter how delicious others cook, it cannot compare to the sentiment behind Mom’s own cooking,” Shen Yun, with her heavily made-up face that still could not hide the ravages of time, beamed with love, “Chuan’er, Mom is growing old, my health is failing, and I don’t know how much longer I can stay by your side.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?

You will live a long life,” Xiao Yuchuan sharply reproached, though his eyes reflected his emotion.

Su Qingyue stood outside the kitchen; she had considered the worst-case scenarioaEUR”in case the Xiao Chonghuan couple was determined to separate her and third brother, she would have to annihilate them.

Hearing the third brother’s wish for Shen Yun to live a long life, she thus abandoned that thought.

Her lips curved bitterly, revealing a love that didn’t want to leave an indelible shadow in his heart.

“Yue’er has come too?” Seeing Su Qingyue, Shen Yun hurried over warmly, “Yue’er, what would you like to eat tonight?

I will cook it for you.”

If it had been anyone else, Shen Yun’s noble gesture, lowering herself to cook, would surely have left them prostrate with gratitude, but Su Qingyue knew her motives weren’t pure and simply responded indifferently, “Anything is fine.”

“Radish stewed beef, sliced roast duck, braised fish, Mapo TofuaEUR”several home-style dishes, how does that sound?” Shen Yun’s face was a picture of kindness, “Even though the Xiao Family has a noble status, we are a family after all; status doesn’t matter, and it’s good to enjoy simple home-style food occasionally.”

“Fine,” Su Qingyue gave a slight nod.

Shen Yun sneered inwardly, a wild Maid without a trace of sophistication.

When she said status didn’t matter, it was just polite talk, yet the wild Maid was now acting high and mighty.

While her thoughts were one thing, she was even more enthusiastic on the surface, “Yue’er, do you prefer the radish to be cooked until it’s very soft, or slightly firmer?”

“Either way is fine.”

“Would you like the taste to be lighter or on the saltier side?”

“Moderate is good.”

The dinner was prepared by Shen Yun despite her injury, and from the kitchen to the dining table, she was exceptionally caring towards Su Qingyue, more attentive than even to Xiao Yuchuan.
