After speaking, Wang Jinhe walked to the side of the carriage and looked at the two large buckets of lobsters.
As she gazed at the lobsters in the buckets, Wang Jinhe seemed to envision many spicy crayfish and garlic butter crayfish.
Watching Wang Jinhe’s mouthwatering expression, Su Yu couldn’t help but chuckle.
Approaching Wang Jinhe, he joined her in looking at the lively prawns in the buckets. “Just looking at them won’t satisfy your hunger.”
Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow at Su Yu, then turned to look at Yuan Bao and the others. “Help me move them back.”
After the items were moved back, Qiuyi and Qiuchan were both standing nearby. “Miss, how should we handle this?”
“Go get a few clean toothbrushes. I’ll teach you how to clean them, and then we can all enjoy them together,” Wang Jinhe generously said.
Qiuyi quickly fetched some clean toothbrushes, and Wang Jinhe took one, grabbed a prawn, and began to scrub it.
After cleaning a few, she looked at the others and asked, “Got the hang of it?”
“Miss, won’t its pincers hurt people?” They looked quite formidable, and getting pinched by one would surely be painful.
“Of course they will. Otherwise, would the pincers look so nice?” Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow and looked at Qiuyi.
Qiuyi watched cautiously as the lobsters in the basin, tentatively reaching out to grab one, but hesitating when she saw the raised claws in the basin.
Observing Qiuyi’s cautious demeanor, Wang Jinhe suddenly grabbed a lobster the size of her palm and placed it in front of Qiuyi.
“Ah!” Qiuyi was startled and fell to the ground.
Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but burst into laughter at her timid reaction.
” Qiuyi, you’re too timid,” Wang Jinhe pointed at Qiuyi, unable to contain her laughter.
Quichan’s mouth twitched as she watched her sister being teased by the lady, feeling helpless.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Qiuyi’s angry shout, “Miss!”
Wang Jinhe cleared her throat and looked at Qiuyi, feeling that she might have gone too far.
Before she could speak, she felt a presence in front of her. Qiuyi wanted to say something, but saw Su Yu staring at her with an unfriendly expression, as if she would be in trouble if she dared to say another word.
Qiuyi’s words were instantly choked back. How could she forget that there was a husband who doted on his wife without limits by the lady’s side?
“I’m sorry, sir, I was wrong,” Autumn apologized dryly.
Su Yu narrowed his eyes, then turned and threw the brush in Wang Jinhe’s hand into the basin. Just as Qiuyi thought she had escaped, she heard Su Yu’s cold voice, “You are responsible for cleaning these two basins of prawns. No one else is allowed to help. Xiao He, let’s go to the vegetable garden and see what we can eat.”
The words that were about to be spoken were never uttered, as Wang Jinhe was dragged away by Su Yu.
As they neared the door, Wang Jinhe sighed helplessly. “You go to see it every day. Do you really need me to accompany you?”
“Yes.”
“Su Yu, don’t always bully Qiuyi and the others,” Wang Jinhe said, holding her head in her hand, looking helpless.
“I’m not bullying, I’m teaching,” Su Yu frowned. What did she mean by bullying Qiuyi?
Qiuyi wanted to say something, but then she heard Su Yu speak, “If you plead for her again, I will continue to punish her.”
Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Wang Jinhe immediately made a gesture to keep quiet. She believed that Su Yu would follow through on his words.
Feeling helpless, Qiuyi listened to their conversation, feeling like she had done something to deserve this treatment.
“Sister…”
Qiuchan reached out and poked her sister’s head, saying impatiently, “You should know how much the young master dotes on the lady. How dare you make a scene in front of the young master? If he doesn’t punish you, who will he punish?”
Qiuyi looked down dejectedly and said, “But sister, there are so many…”
“If the young master doesn’t allow us to help you, then we shouldn’t. If we do, the young master can do anything,” Qiuchan said matter-of-factly. She wasn’t trying to scare Qiuyi; Su Yu was adept at handling such matters when Wang Jinhe wasn’t around.
Sighing heavily, Qiuyi realized she couldn’t ask for help and had to wash the lively little lobsters with their raised claws all by herself.
Yuan Bao, seeing her get pinched a few times, couldn’t bear to see her wash the two large basins alone and went over to help her.
Qiuyi was surprised to see someone coming to her aid, especially when it was Yuan Bao.
“The young master will be angry,” Qiuyi said dully.
“No, he won’t.” If it were someone else, Su Yu would definitely be angry, but not if it was Yuan Bao.
Su Yu found out about Yuan Bao’s assistance, it didn’t make him angry, but it did make him a little unhappy.
“What’s with that expression?” Wang Jinhe found Su Yu’s displeasure interesting.
“Yuan Bao is being taken away,” Su Yu grumbled unhappily.
Wang Jinhe was surprised and looked at Su Yu. “You mean Qiuyi?”
“Yuan Bao’s care for Qiuyi has surpassed that for others. Besides our family of three, even Grandfather and Granduncle don’t pay as much attention. Many things are done at his behest, and it’s the first time he has volunteered to help, especially a girl,” Su Yu explained.
Seeing Su Yu’s displeasure, Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but tease, “Are you jealous?”
“No, I’m just unhappy,” Su Yu said, looking at Wang Jinhe. What’s the difference?
“That’s also good. If the two of them can be together, Yuan Bao will be very happy,” the two sisters, Qiuyi and Qiuchan, carried deep-seated grudges, and despite their carefree appearance, they were always striving to grow and hoping to one day avenge their family.
“If she has someone she cares about, Qiuyi won’t just think about revenge,” Qiuyi may seem carefree, but her thoughts were heavier than Qiuchan’s. Her mind was filled with thoughts of avenging her family.
Wang Jinhe didn’t see anything wrong with this. After all, their enemies were her family’s enemies, and seeking revenge was only natural. However, she didn’t want Qiuyi to have nothing left after seeking revenge.
It would be a good thing if she could be with Yuan Bao.
Although Su Yu was still a little unhappy, his thoughts were similar to Wang Jinhe’s. Yuan Bao had always been with him and didn’t seem interested in marriage. Now that he had found a girl he liked, it was a good thing.
Looking at Su Yu, Wang Jinhe suddenly asked, “Did you notice it a long time ago?”
“Not too long ago. It took me a while to realize,” Su Yu replied.
When Yuan Bao had nothing to do, he would follow Qiuyi around, even if he didn’t help her.
At first, Su Yu thought it was just his imagination, but he gradually realized that Yuan Bao really had feelings for Qiuyi.
He was happy about it, but he didn’t know what Qiuyi thought about it.
