He walked into the house and saw three steaming hot dishes on the wooden table. It was obvious at a glance, that they had just come straight out of the oven.
reviously, many women in the village came to cook and clean for him. He chased them away initially, but it did not deter them. In the end, they were given a serious warning. Gradually, the women in the village no
longer dared to come.
His expression was cloudy.
He also guessed that the person who cooked the food was the same one who climbed into his bed last night.
Qin Shu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice in her hand. When she saw Fu Tingyu standing in the living room, she smiled and greeted him. âYouâre back. Go wash your hands first, then you can eat,â she said.
Fu Tingyu asked in a deep voice, âWho allowed you to cook these?â
Qin Shu said matter-of-factly, âThe wife should cook for the husband. Although my culinary skills are far inferior to yours, you should make do with it.â
âGet out.â Fu Tingyuâs face turned even darker. He had never seen such a shameless woman. She climbed into his bed in the middle of the night and called herself his wife?
Qin Shu felt a painful prick in her heart. This was the first time he had uttered such nasty words. She said indifferently, âYou should take back your words. Iâm afraid that if you remember them in the future, you will
regret saying those two words.â
Fu Tingyu completely treated her as a joke. âCanât a woman like you have a little bit of shame? You crawled into a manâs bed in the middle of the night and still insist on staying here and not leaving?â
Qin Shu stopped laying out the table. She raised her head and looked at Fu Tingyu, taking a deep breath to control her anger. He was only saying these because he couldnât remember.
After comforting herself, she said, âYou are my husband. Whatâs wrong with crawling into your bed? Even if I stay here and not leave, itâs only justified.â
âThereâs something wrong with you.â Fu Tingyuâs face was dark as he strode over and picked up the food on the table. As usual, he threw all the food out, leaving none behind.
Qin Shu looked at the food she had prepared for the entire morning. Fu Tingyu had not eaten a single bite and threw them out just like that. She felt very uncomfortable.
âYou used to say that you married me to pamper me, not to make me cook for you, so you never let me into the kitchen,â Qin Shu said.
She then looked at him. âThe next time I cooked for you, you ate all of it,â she added.
Fu Tingyu was a little annoyed by her words. He pointed outside and said coldly, âI donât know you, and I am not your husband either. Get out now.â
âIf you werenât my husband, do you think I would waste my time on a strange man? With your looks? There are many good-looking people in the world, â Qin Shu retorted. âLet me tell you, I do hold grudges.â
With that, she turned around and walked out.
Fu Tingyu was furious. He had just sat down and was about to pour some water when Qin Shu came back again. âJust because you are my husband, I will still come back.â
After saying that, she turned around and left again.
Fu Tingyu was speechless.
Where did this crazy woman come from?
He glanced at the food that he had thrown on the ground, still giving off steam. Each time, the womanâs aggrieved face would appear in his mind.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Shu returned to the village chiefâs house and went straight to her room.
After disappearing overnight, Ye Luo must have been worried sick.
After coming up, she found Ye Luo holding Boss Ba on the platform around the corner, seated on a wooden chair as if waiting for her.
âYe Luo.â Qin Shu walked over and sat down opposite him.
âYoung Madam Fu, did Fourth Master manage to remember you?â Ye Luo asked.
Qin Shu shook her head. âNo, he doesnât remember anything.â
She rested her chin on one hand, her face filled with worry.
Ye Luo asked again, âThen why is Young Madam Fu sleeping in Sirâs room?â
Qin Shu felt a little awkward at the mention of this matter. She did not know that the sweet wine had such a strong after-effect. She also did not know how she ended up with a man.
This was the first time she had gotten drunk and ended up in the wrong room.
âLast nightâs wine was very strong. I donât know how I ended up with him,â Qin Shu explained.
Looking at Fu Tingyuâs reaction today, something must have happened last night that made him unhappy.
The only fortunate thing was that she wasnât thrown out.
He actually said that she didnât have any shame at all?
Once he remembers, she would let him know that she does have a lot of shame and would forbid him from sleeping with her for a month.
Qin Shu had already made two mental notes in her head.
Due to some ongoings, Ye Luo did not manage to inform Qin Shu of what he discovered the night before.
âThis time, only four high-level Gu masters who came to Nine Bay are from the village headâs family,â Ye Luo said to Qin Shu. âThey are Hao Ze, Tan Lin, Li Qian, and Sun Shang respectively.â
This was out of Qin Shuâs expectations. âYang Jin did not come?â she asked.
Ye Luo shook his head. âNo.â
âLast night, I chatted with Hao Ze for a bit. He needed a bowl of blood to cultivate Ni. As for whose blood it was, I have no idea,â said Qin Shu.
She could vaguely guess that it was surely not the blood of an ordinary person, nor was it the blood of a Gu master.
âIn that case, does Young Madam Fu have any ideas to restore Fourth Masterâs memory?â Ye Luo asked. This was what he was most concerned about.
âFor the time being, I donât know the reason for his amnesia,â Qin Shu replied, recalling her master deliberately erasing a part of her memory.
However, Fu Tingyuâs situation was different from hers. Whether it was accidental amnesia or deliberately caused by a man, she didnât know.
As if remembering something, Qin Shu ordered, âYe Luo, go and find out what happened to him about two months ago. Also, find out how long he has lived here.â
âGot it,â Ye Luo responded and got up to leave.
Qin Shu stood up and went back to her room.
It was almost evening when Ye Luo came back and told Qin Shu everything he found.
âThe villagers said that Fourth Master is called Ah Yu here and has lived here since he was young. He has no parents and is considered an orphan,â Ye Luo reported.
Qin Shu asked again in disbelief, âDid the villagers really say that?â
Ye Luo nodded. âI asked thirty families and they all said the same thing,â he replied.
âWhatâs going on?â Qin Shu frowned. She couldnât figure it out. He was Fu Tingyu. Even if he had amnesia, the people in the village did not.
He should have been here only in the past two months, and not been raised here since he was young.
Ye Luo was unable to figure it out either. He also firmly believed that the man was Fourth Master.
âThe people in the village have no need to lie,â Ye Luo said.
âI wonât make a mistake, and neither will Boss Ba,â Qin Shu replied with certainty. He was Fu Tingyu, so she definitely did not make a mistake.
âAsk all the people from over 200 households,â she added.
Ye Luo replied, âOkay.â
Qin Shu sat there in a daze. She realized Ye Luo was still sitting there with no intention of leaving.
She knew Ye Luo too well. If he didnât leave, it meant he was waiting for further instructions.
âYou should go back and rest early,â Qin Shu told him.
âOkay,â Ye Luo responded and carried Boss Ba back to his room.
After Ye Luo left, Qin Shu sat at the table for a while. She noticed that the wine on the table was a small white porcelain bottle, about 250 milliliters. It was sent by the village chiefâs daughter-in-law for her meal. She
didnât drink it..
