Mysteries of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 48 Extra Daily Drama - Coaxing My Wife
The sun was shining brightly that day.

Yan Mingzhang took Changfeng and Mo Yun to the study. As they passed Rong Wanyin's door, they vaguely saw her furtively hiding something in front of the bookcase. Seeing the door was open, Yan Mingzhang knocked twice and went straight in.

Rong Wanyin was so frightened that she stood up straight in front of the bookcase and turned around to block the bookcase behind her, looking like she was trying to cover up her mistake.

Yan Mingzhang looked behind Rong Wanyin and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What are you doing? Sneaking around."

Rong Wanyin's smile was a little stiff, and she said with a guilty conscience: "No... nothing..."

Yan Mingzhang took a look at the bookcase. In the top compartment, there were a few books placed crookedly. Behind the books was an oil-paper package with a few words faintly written on a piece of red paper. This package must be Xu Ji's Dragon Beard Candy.

Yan Mingzhang looked helpless and sighed softly, "Are you eating candy again? Didn't Doctor Yan tell you to eat no more than three a day? Otherwise, your teeth will hurt again!"

Rong Wanyin was a little surprised and quickly looked back at the bookcase. The oil-paper bag had clearly been hidden! How did he know? He must be trying to trick me!
Rong Wanyin couldn't see the paper bag at all, and for a moment she thought Yan Mingzhang couldn't see it either, so she said confidently, "I really don't have it!"

Yan Mingzhang glanced at Rong Wanyin, then at the oil-paper bag, his face full of black lines. He thought, this girl usually looks very smart, is she stupid today? Just because she is short and can't see, doesn't mean I can't see either!
Yan Mingzhang shook her head slightly and pretended not to see it. Forget it, although Doctor Yan didn't allow her to eat sweets, it shouldn't be a problem to eat a little occasionally!

On the way to the study, Mo Yun couldn't help but gesture and asked Chang Feng, "I only knew that Miss Rong had some leg skills, but I didn't expect her skills to be so good? Her moves are so neat! Chang Feng, if you were being strangled at that time, could you have done that?"

Mo Yun was referring to the situation when Rong Wanyin was held hostage by Xu Lizhun.

Chang Feng gestured twice, shook his head and said, "It's too difficult, I'm not sure. If I didn't have that knife, it should be possible."

Mo Yun sighed deeply, took a breath, and shook his head: "So, it seems that our master will lose his power in the future, right?"

Changfeng thought for a while and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Yan Mingzhang, who was walking a few steps faster than them, heard everything clearly. His face darkened instantly. With his back to them, he hesitated, wondering whether to turn around and scold them. He wasn't hard of hearing, so were they talking so loudly, afraid he couldn't hear? Yan Mingzhang took a few deep breaths and decided to pretend he didn't hear.
Yan Mingzhang took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then said, "You guys should go back to your room first! I have something else to do, so don't follow me."

Mo Yun Changfeng responded respectfully. After watching him walk away, Changfeng whispered, "What are you doing, sir?"

Mo Yun rolled his eyes at Chang Feng and said, "You don't even know this. I guess he went to coax his wife! Miss Rong has been through a lot these past few days, and was even threatened with a knife at her neck. She wouldn't go there to curse, would she?"

Changfeng nodded in agreement.

----

Mo Yun guessed wrong, Yan Mingzhang really came here to curse.

Bringing delicious food to curse people.

In Rong Wanyin's room...

Yan Mingzhang took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and placed it on the Eight Immortals table.

Rong Wanyin came forward with a smile: "What is it? It smells so good! Let me smell it, ah, it's sugar-roasted chestnuts!"

"Don't interrupt me, I need to say something." Yan Mingzhang was so interrupted that he almost forgot what he was about to say. "Want some? I'll peel one for you. These chestnuts should be eaten while they're hot." Rong Wanyin smiled as she peeled a chestnut.

Yan Mingzhang looked at Rong Wanyin's smile. He had just prepared a lot of words to scold her, but he couldn't say a word and his anger disappeared in an instant.

Hey, forget it.

Rong Wanyin eagerly picked up a chestnut. It was roasted to perfection, the shell greasy and fragrant. She bit into it, the shell shattering into pieces as she struggled to get the meat inside.

Yan Mingzhang sighed, silently picked up a chestnut, scratched it with his fingernail, and made a crack. With a pinch of his hands, a whole chestnut was peeled, and even the chestnut shell was two perfect semicircles.

Yan Mingzhang handed over the chestnut meat naturally, and Rong Wanyin also took it naturally. She stuffed it into her mouth and started chewing it with a happy look on her face.

"Oh, you peel it really well. How do you peel it? Why can't I do it?"

Yan Mingzhang felt angry and ridiculous, and stuffed a chestnut into Rong Wanyin's mouth.

Seeing how she enjoyed the food, Yan Mingzhang ate one himself. It was sweet and indeed delicious. Yan Mingzhang suddenly felt relaxed. Perhaps because she was by his side, this ordinary chestnut seemed to taste extra delicious.

Yan Mingzhang hesitated for a moment, then decided to finish what he had just said. He didn't want to come here in vain. "Are chestnuts delicious?"

Rong Wanyin's face was filled with satisfaction as she said happily, "It's delicious!"

Yan Mingzhang then asked, "Are you happy?"

Rong Wanyin didn't understand why, but she still replied, "I'm happy! What's wrong?"

Yan Mingzhang's true colors were revealed, and he pretended to be angry: "Then let's talk about something!"

Rong Wanyin's face changed, and she suddenly covered her stomach, pretending to have a stomachache: "Ouch, my stomach feels uncomfortable. I must have eaten too many chestnuts and I'm bloated..."

Yan Mingzhang looked at her poor acting skills and shook his head helplessly. After a long while, he finally managed to utter a bunch of harmless words: "I told you not to go with Hongxiuxiang, but you insisted on going. You're always at the forefront of everything. How dangerous! Do you think this is fun? And the sword has no eyes. How can you take such a risk? Even if you are good at martial arts, you can't do this!"

Rong Wanyin nodded obediently, blinking pitifully, and raised her hand to swear: "I promise I won't do this again! I will listen to you! Really!"

When she was a child, she would use this trick whenever her grandparents wanted to beat her, and it worked!
Seeing that he didn't seem so angry anymore, Rong Wanyin reached out and took another chestnut. Acting timidly, she asked, "Um... can I still eat that one?"

Yan Mingzhang was furious at her lack of memory. He then looked at the neatly stacked chestnut shells in front of him, and said unhappily, "Didn't you say it would cause bloating? Still eating? If you eat it tomorrow, I'll confiscate it."

Rong Wanyin pouted and said with disappointment, "Oh..."

Yan Mingzhang thought for a moment and took out three more from the oil-paper bag. He said, "These are the last three. No more."

Rong Wanyin's face was filled with satisfaction, and she smiled widely. She nodded in thanks: "Yes!"

Yan Mingzhang couldn't help but laugh when he saw her expression. Three chestnuts could make her so happy.
