Ji Yuxian straightened his posture and leaned back. He grabbed Su Jiu's hand and placed it on the chair with a warm smile. "My wife, seeing how busy you've been with disciplining the servants, surely you haven't had any time to eat. How about you sit down and dine with me?"
The instant he spoke, a servant girl immediately filled a bowl of rice and set down a pair of chopsticks, silver with floral engravings, in front of Su Jiu. "Enjoy, Young Mistress."
Su Jiu was indeed hungry. She momentarily put aside her confusion as to why Ji Yuxian did what he did. She inhaled deeply. At the moment, it was far more important for her to fill her empty stomach.
She picked up a piece of red, cooked pork, crunchy on the outside and tender within, and stuffed it in her mouth. She complimented the meal with a nod. "The food you have here is delicious!"
"Is that so?" Ji Yuxian smiled mildly. He never thought of the food in his home as particularly delicious.
