Chapter 697: Smart woman

Lord Fei did send the word that he will be taking care of the third prince while he was here but he knew that even with his men working day and night it will take quite some time for them to deliver the letter to his nephew, until then he was sure that his nephew and his wife will not be able to sleep at ease, even the crown prince will have to suffer while looking for his younger brother.

Seeing that his grand-uncle was looking at him with a sullen look on his face, Fei Qinfan immediately turned to look at Su Wan and tried to change the topic, " That's what you should call me, try calling me brother Fan, all right sister?"

However, Su Wan didn't call him Brother Fan instead she paused and with her eyes shining with a mischievous glint, she said, " I am afraid that this cannot be done since the lord is my god grandfather's nephew then I will have to call you uncle, isn't that the right way? If I call you brother Fan then it will mess up the seniority."

Listening to Su Wan's words, Fei Qinfan choked, he really did not expect Su Wan to say this, after all, he was so pretty and many women in the capital called him the flower that bloomed at the top of the mountain, when has he ever heard someone call him 'uncle' before? But at the same time, his heart was at ease, he has long heard that Su Wan was the girl his grand uncle has adopted as his god-granddaughter. Though he knew that his uncle was smart and wouldn't be fooled by someone that easily, Fei Qinfan was still worried.

After all, his grand uncle and his grandaunt were getting older day by day, what if they chose someone indecent because they were in a hurry to have a child they can call their own? This was one of the reasons, he came to the town to see his grand uncle, not only did he want to see his grand uncle but he also wanted to see the girl he has adopted as his god-granddaughter.

At first, when Fei Qinfan saw that she was a shared wife he was a bit uncomfortable after all the reputation of a shared wife was never good but upon seeing that she was more than just a woman who sought pleasure, a bit of his discomfort vanished and his gaze at Su Wan became warmer.

What kind of man would not like an intelligent woman who knew what she was doing after all?

Now that he was seeing Su Wan with his own eyes, he can rest at ease. The woman looked capable and she wasn't relying on her men either, so why will she even think of relying on his grand uncle? What was more, he turned to look around the dining hall. It was small but it has been furnished with well-polished tables and chairs, the small wooden archway at the entrance of the hall was even more exquisitely designed, and some green plants with flowers blooming in them were set next to the window, filling the entire space with their scent but even then the smell of the tantalising dishes on the table could not be hidden.

He glanced at the dishes that were spread all over the table and asked, " My, I haven't seen such dishes in my entire life, is this what they call the cap fish?"

Though Su Wan has taken care of the squid while preparing it and now it was really hard to see its original shape and form but on a plate sat the braised squid and that was why the third prince was able to cotton on to what ingredients were used in making of this feast.

" Uncle is quick, that's right this is squid," Su Wan nodded, she didn't know what and who this gentleman was but seeing that Lord Fei wasn't saying anything and was silently accompanying the man, Su Wan knew that there was no need for her to fear this man, if he was someone whom she has to take notice and be careful with, her god grandfather would have told her but even so, Su Wan was very calm and polite to this man who introduced himself as Uncle Fan to her.

She started introducing the dishes that were placed on the table one by, " This is salt and pepper squid and this is three cup squid, this is what I call spicy squid stir fry and then this is twice cooked squid with garlic, it's really full of flavours and the sauce makes it even more savoury. Oh, and of course, these are squid noodles, since the squid was fresh out of the water I was able to make these as well, you can eat them by dipping them in this sauce, it's my personal recipe, and I haven't heard of anyone ever complaining since this sauce goes well with everything. If you are more of a man of grilled food with barbecue sauce then you can try this grilled squid with mayonnaise as well."

Su Wan was very vivacious in introducing every single dish and with her skills, she was able to bring out the wonderful savoury flavour of the squid as well, with the dishes piled up on the table and the tantalising smell wafting over to them along with Su Wan's vibrant description, their appetite rose but given that this was the same fish that spurted ink at every possible turn Lord Fei and the Third prince were a bit hesitant before a third prince or lord Fei could say anything, headmaster hurriedly sat down as he said abruptly, " All right, all right what are you all listening to her chattering? I have eaten the dishes she has cooked. I guarantee you two that these dishes must be excellent as well." After that he picked up his chopsticks and hurriedly took a bite of the twice cooked squid.
