Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 212

In fact, he could not remember how long it had been since someone had spoken to him like that. When he was young, he only thought that those trivial things were not worth mentioning. When he turned around, he realized that that kind of piecemeal and bland daily life was precious.

Gu Yin sighed as she watched the flames throbbing in the stove. However, she had begged the young man to help her pass the word, but at this time, it was difficult to ask him to take care of her child for a long time.

With something in her mind, she couldn’t sit still. She got up and rolled out some noodles and put them in the pot. She also took out the rest of the chicken and mixed it with sauces and seasonings.

When the noodles were fully cooked, she took them out in a sea bowl, put the remaining variables such as shredded cucumber and shredded fungus that she had prepared for the Emperor, and put a chicken leg on it, and sat back in front of the stove again.

“Eat.”

The young man prided himself on not being a big eater. After all, although his family was not bad in the village when he was young, his mother’s craftsmanship could really be described as bad. Then he joined the army later, it was even more so that if he could sleep in the open air and eat a bite was fine.

However, after staying by her side for a month, his tongue actually became tricky.

When he got to the mountain, he stayed outside for a longer time and ate a big pot of rice from the big kitchen. He heard that the chef was also a very famous master in Hanshan Town, but it was no better than what she did casually.

“Thank you.” 

He took the sea bowl and ate it in a big mouth. The noodles were chewy and the chicken soup was fragrant and refreshing. The sauce was slightly heavy, and it was very delicious with slightly lighter noodles and soup.

He wasn’t hungry, but he ate a big bowl before he knew it.

In that cold mountain, sweating all over, he sighed comfortably.

“Do you still want to eat?” Gu Yin really liked to watch him eat. If it wasn’t for the fact that his identity was fake, she would have hired him to be the model. Let him perform in the front hall every day, even if she couldn’t increase the sales of food, it looked comfortable.

“No, I’m not very hungry.”

Gu Yin sighed in pity, took the bowl in his hand and went to wash it by the sink.

The young man didn’t understand why she looked a little lost, and followed her to the sink.

After hesitating, he asked, “Your husband…Where is the father of the child? Don’t misunderstand, it’s not that I want to ask more, but I promised you earlier that I will help you get out of here. So if he can respond outside, naturally it’s a help.”

“He’s deceased.”

“I’m sorry.” The young man frowned.

Also, any man with some blood would not let his wife fall into this situation, let alone let his five-year-old son wander around in a hurry, follow the soldiers in a dangerous way, and almost let people find out. 

His eyes fell on the side of her face. Although she deliberately painted her face black and covered the upper half of her face with ugly bangs, her nose was small and delicate, and her thin lips were slightly pursed when not speaking. The eyebrows were always slightly raised, and the person looked quiet and weak, but had a tenacity that would not admit defeat.

It was the man who was unlucky.

If it was him, even if he crawls, he would have to crawl out of the underworld. How could he be willing to let her live alone with her child?

That thought passed in a flash in his mind, and he closed his eyes immediately, suppressing the thoughts he should not have.

“It’s nothing, it’s been many years ago.” 

Gu Yin deliberately didn’t mention that Wu Qingyi died on the battlefield – the other party was a member of the rebel army, and Wu Qingyi died for the court, and the two sides’ positions were natural opposition.

Although she said it lightly, the young man had also tasted the pain of losing his family. The pain that burned his heart and his bones made him sleepless at night for a long time, and he didn’t know the taste of food. Since then, every time he thought about it, the pain was burning within him.

He was not very good at comforting people, so he just changed the subject and said, “Don’t worry about the child for the time being. The spring where I carry water is inaccessible, and he also has some martial arts skills. No one should find out in the short term.”

“I troubled you.” Gu Yin was a little embarrassed, “I don’t know how to thank you.”

“You have already thanked me,” the young man pointed at the bowl in her hand and said.

That made Gu Yin even more embarrassed. He was there to do a big thing, but she troubled him to look after her child. A bowl of chicken noodle soup was made from the ingredients the Emperor ate. It was really not enough to be seen as a show of gratitude.

The young man didn’t find it troublesome, and it was strange. In fact, he was not a nosy person, but the woman and the child in front of him would not make him feel troubled.

“If you have something you need from me, you just speak up.”

Gu Yin was just an ordinary person, she knew that the old dynasty was abominable, and the rebels had a good reputation, but that world was very far away from ordinary people like her. Strictly speaking, she was not on anyone’s side. But after coming into contact with him during that period of time, the people of the old dynasty really disgusted her, and the young man in front of her, who has helped her several times with righteousness, was indeed very loyal and lived up to the word Zhengyuan.

So her heart was completely on the side of the new rebel army, and she only hoped that they could win and end that storm.

Afterward, they didn’t say much more. At midnight, after confirming that the Emperor had rested, Gu Yin and he went back to their rooms to rest.
