From what Su Wan said this dish was made from young and fresh squids, though it did look rather appetising, he couldn’t help but worry a little when he was reminded of how Su Wan had told him that it wasn’t cooked, though the squid tasted good after being cooked, who knows how it might taste when it was raw? But seeing how Su Wan was eating it with relish, he couldn’t help but harden his heart and take a bite of the squid noodles, as soon as he slurped it all down, his eyes lit up. This ..this flavour was something that he has never tasted before, the rich, plump squid coated with the spicy and slightly tangy sauce, it was a taste that he will never be able to forget!
No wonder this woman was this confident, with her skills she might really turn the wheel of fortune for that territory on the southern ocean.

Dinner ended up being a sumptuous feast, no one said anything about Su Wan’s trip to the southern border, instead, they all were too busy relishing the taste of these new dishes that they have never tasted before, as Fei Qinfan nibbled on the braised squid, he smacked his lips and shook his head in delight, ” Amazing, this is truly amazing. I have to say that I never thought that this thing could taste this good.. if I had known it then I would have kept this all to myself.”
Lord Fei, who was also wiping off the last of his savoury squid with rice, didn’t take long to smack Fei Qinfan on the back of his head and said, ” What are you talking about, if your fa… brother knew that this thing could be cooked in such a delicious manner, do you think that he would have let you have it? Don’t you know how he likes eating something unique and delicious?”
As he looked down in his rice bowl and sighed, he was sure that once his nephew finds out the novelty of this dish, he will definitely fight with them to get the last bite, good thing that he didn’t come with them or else, he would have had a hard time getting his fill.
It didn’t take long for the dishes on the table to get empty, once they were cleaned up pretty nicely by everyone, Lin Yu and Lin Yan stood up from their chairs and started picking up the chopsticks and bowl in a practised manner that made Fei Qinfan’s eyes to go wide as he looked at Su Wan who was calmly sipping on her tea while her husband wiped the table and cleaned the dishes off it.
He blinked his eyes and then turned to look at Su Wan with a curious expression as he asked, ” Mrs Lin, your husbands seem to be pretty good-natured. I have never seen any husband in my entire life who picked up the dishes from the table and let his wife rest after having dinner.”
He wasn’t wrong either, the men of this era rarely worked in the kitchen much less do something like this, cleaning after having dinner was the job of women, and even his mother had to wait for his father to finish eating his meal before calling the maids to clean it all up, she wouldn’t dare to call the maids while his father was still eating.
” Isn’t that the right thing to do?” Su Wan asked as if it was only natural causing Fei Qinfan to be mystified by what she has said just now, when she saw that he didn’t understand what she meant, Su Wan, leaned back on her chair and then smiled at him. ” I mean I left my entire life behind for them, I take care of their daily needs and..” she caressed her pregnant belly before chuckling softly, ” And I am even carrying their child, I will be the one who will be walking through the gates of hell for giving birth to this child, isn’t it okay for them to take care of me once in a while?”
” That …. Isn’t that the job of a woman?” Fei Qinfan asked, even though he was the son of the Empress, he was taught in the same way as everyone else, he didn’t think that it was wrong to leave the work to the women of the house, after all, they stayed at home all day and do nothing?
Su Wan blinked her eyes and suddenly she was reminded of the time when she was married to her ex-husband, back then when she couldn’t get pregnant for a year straight what has he said to her?
‘You are a woman! Your only job is to get pregnant and look after your husband, and you can’t even do that! Why do you think I married you?’
” Wan Wan? Wan Wan!” Lin Rui placed his hand on top of her shoulder and Su Wan blinked her eyes as she snapped from her daze and looked around the room. ” Oh, did I doze off? I have been getting tired these days.” She chuckled before getting to her feet as she pushed the chair back and took another look at Fei Qinfan before calmly saying, ” Of course, it’s the job of women but men who often believe in such things either end up getting cuckolded or dumped.”
