The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 238 Unexplainable Pain

Shen Yan secretly exclaimed in amazement, the fear in her heart was like a huge wave crashing against the shore, her words almost lost their usual steadiness and became fragmented.

"Sister-in-law, what you said is absolutely right, it makes perfect sense!" After receiving the compliment, Yi Ge'er couldn't help but feel light and happy, as if he was walking on clouds, and his joy was beyond words. He thought, what's wrong with pursuing delicious food? Who in this world doesn't yearn for the temptation of delicious food? He firmly believed that even his mother and brother could not transcend the pleasures of this world. After all, those who are indifferent to delicious food are either too dull or have a closed mind.

"It's really not polite to be so frivolous." Song Yunfeng looked at Yi Ge'er sternly with a sharp gaze. The majesty of an elder brother was fully revealed in his eyes, like a biting cold wind in winter, which made people shiver.

"As a man, standing between heaven and earth, one should have lofty ambitions, the aspiration to soar into the sky like a swan, and a broad mind, taking it as one's responsibility to achieve great undertakings. How can one just indulge in the pleasure of food?" His words were loud and clear, full of unquestionable power.

Upon hearing this, Yige'er's neck shrank involuntarily, and his previous complacency disappeared without a trace, and he dared not say a word in rebuttal.

As soon as Song Yunfeng finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his words might have caused misunderstanding, so he pursed his lips and turned his eyes gently to Shen Yan. Shen Yan noticed his gaze and quickly lowered her head to avoid the sharp gaze, like a frightened deer.

"I don't have any lofty ambitions, so it should be like this." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but it revealed a kind of flexible persistence.

"I'm a girl too, and my desire for delicious food is just human nature." Yuanyuan said with a smile on her face, her tone full of the little happiness of being a girl. It is a simple happiness that comes from cherishing the trivial beauty of life.

Jiang Zhen was talking nonstop: "Time is not forgiving. If we don't enjoy delicious food now, when will we? I still remember what my master said clearly: on the road of life, delicious food and beautiful scenery are not to be missed. If we can enjoy them to the fullest in this short life, then there will be no regrets."

We are all mortals in this world. How many people in this world can be like Song Yunfeng, with national justice in mind and a head full of lofty ideals and ambitions? The love for food is just the truest reflection of human nature.

Moreover, desire can sometimes be the driving force that pushes people forward. If you just fantasize without putting it into practice, how can you expect a better life to unfold automatically before you?

In the final analysis, it was just that they each pursued different things. Song Yunfeng's ambition was just a little higher.

Shen Yan raised her eyes slightly, and her gaze quietly passed over Song Yunfeng with a barely perceptible hint of amusement.

Song Yunfeng coughed lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He had originally just wanted to teach Yi Ge'er as usual, but he had never expected that it would elicit such a subtle reaction from her.

He had no intention of finding anything wrong with her remarks, but her sidelong glance was both cautious and complacent, like a mouse peeking at the outside world from the edge of a cave. Sometimes she looked at everything bravely, and sometimes she was too shy to conceal her feelings. What an unpredictable woman.

An inexplicable warmth surged in Song Yunfeng's heart again, and he felt even more curious and interested in this woman.

Zhao was afraid that the atmosphere was too awkward, so she quickly changed the subject and tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Why are these potatoes so delicious? They seem to be different from the usual stewing method?" Her voice was filled with curiosity and surprise.

"Mom, we first cut the potatoes into pieces, fry them until half dry, and then slow-cook them with the meat, so they taste extra crispy and soft." Yige explained proudly, his tone full of pride.

Zhao felt mixed emotions. She didn't expect that a bowl of chicken blood would be eaten up in the blink of an eye. She secretly vowed to herself that she would go to the pork shop to ask for some pig blood next time she went to the city. She couldn't let such good things go to waste.

Just as everyone was immersed in the aroma of meat in the room, there was a sudden knock on the gate.

Song Cang pushed a wooden cart and slowly walked into the courtyard. Seeing this, Song Yunfeng hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet him.

When he saw the wooden cart, he was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.

"Brother Cang is back, that's great, come in and have dinner with us."

"Well, I'm back." There was a hint of embarrassment on Song Cang's face.

"No, I came here to return this wooden cart." It turned out that the cart was retrieved from Uncle Youliang, a neighbor. He just learned that the cart was borrowed by his mother. However, this was not borrowing in the conventional sense, but a result of mutual benefit - Uncle Youliang gave them two kilograms of high-quality peanut seeds as a thank you. What made Song Cang even more ashamed was that his mother did not stop there, but passed on this favor to the neighbors around during the more than one month when the cart was not used at home.

Thinking of this, Song Cang's face turned red, and he was ashamed to face his brothers. He wanted to talk about his sister-in-law's jewelry, but he stopped talking. Just at this time, Zhao called him over from inside the house.

"Brother Cang, come and try it. We have meat at home today."

Shen Yan, Yige'er and Yuanyuan exchanged glances, lowered their heads tacitly, and continued to eat quietly.

"Aunt, no, I have to rush to Uncle Jiang's place. I'll leave first."

"Hey, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Zhen wiped his mouth, looking very satisfied with the meal.

Song Yunfeng keenly caught Song Cang's subtle discomfort, frowned slightly, and said with concern: "Brother Lan, are you feeling uncomfortable? Uncle Jiang is here, you can tell me directly if you feel uncomfortable."

Song Cang was slightly surprised, and without thinking too much, he followed Song Yunfeng into the house.

"I'm fine, it's my mother, she's been feeling unwell lately."

This discomfort was unusual. The pain made her toss and turn in bed and unable to eat, but she couldn't find the specific cause. What was even more strange was that she didn't have any signs of injury or bruises on her body. Sometimes she touched her abdomen, sometimes she beat her back, as if she herself couldn't figure out where the pain was.

Although he was curious about the fall that Shen Yan mentioned before and wanted to know where she kicked, he found it difficult to ask such a question.

"Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Zhen asked first, hoping to know more specific symptoms. After all, his master was right in front of him, which would be more conducive to diagnosis.

Before Song Cang could answer, Shen Yan had already put down her bowl and chopsticks and spoke first: "Auntie just slipped accidentally. She might have sprained her ankle."

Yi Ge'er immediately agreed: "Yes, the eldest aunt wanted to teach my sister-in-law a lesson, but she was not paying attention and tripped herself."

Yanyan's voice was soft and a little fearful: "My aunt is so strict. She wanted to punish my sister and also called my second brother and me good-for-nothings."
