Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

235 Dual Personality

He didn’t see the words that he was expecting. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was Zhuang Zhuang’s handwriting.

After reading it carefully, Jiang Danhe’s eyes welled up with tears. He didn’t know that Zhuang Zhuang missed him so much. He really wanted to go back and spend time with them.

Jiang Danhe read the two letters carefully over and over again until he could recite them from memory. Then, he reluctantly put them back into the envelope. However, he suddenly realized that there was another letter inside. Something immediately crossed his mind. “There is more?”

Jiang Danhe took out the small piece of paper. It was no wonder that he didn’t notice it at first. It was so small and was tucked in the corner of the envelope. If he hadn’t looked closer, he would have missed it.

He unfolded the letter and could tell from the handwriting that it was written by Xiaoguo without reading the contents. He chuckled and read the letter carefully from the beginning to the end.

After reading the contents, Jiang Danhe’s face turned completely red.

The contents of the letter were very straightforward. Xiaoguo was basically asking him why he had written those strange words. Coupled with the last three questions in the previous letter, she asked if there was anything that he didn’t understand. Xiaoguo must think that he is a fool…

Jiang Danhe covered his face with his hand. He was filled with regret. The look of embarrassment lingered on his face for a long time.

“Wait a minute!” Jiang Danhe suddenly raised his head because he suddenly thought of the expression that Xiaoyi had described. In that case, the look on her face was not due to joy. It was a look of disgust…

“Li! Shou! Ji!”

Li Shouji, who was eating a drumstick in the hall, suddenly shivered. He had an inexplicable bad feeling. Sure enough, not long after, he saw an angry-looking Jiang Danhe walking over.

Sensing that something was amiss, he picked up the drumstick and ran in the other direction. Although he had been pretty well-behaved recently and had done nothing to provoke Jiang Danhe, he somehow felt that the man was here for him. Therefore, he had better get out of his way.

Later that night, after teaching Li Shouji a lesson, Jiang Danhe tossed and turned in bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of Xiaoguo’s face when she was reading his sappy letter. If the heavens were to give him another chance, he would definitely beat Li Shouji to death.

Jiang Danhe wasn’t the only one who couldn’t fall asleep. Xiaoguo, who was far away in Peach Blossom Village, was also suffering.

Xiaoguo turned to look at the sleeping Zhuang Zhuang and fell into deep thoughts. She wondered if Jiang Danhe had received the letter. According to the dates, he should be receiving it soon.

Had she been too direct in her reply? However, the contents of his letter were really a little scary. It seemed as if he had a dual personality.

Personality dissociation? That didn’t seem unlikely. After all, he should be under a lot of pressure. What if he had suddenly developed a split personality? He would destroy his enemies heroically during the day and turn into an affected person at night?

At this moment, Xiaoguo was extremely conflicted. Did she not know him well enough? Perhaps that was who he really was.

But she really didn’t like men of this type…

“Jiang Danhe, what kind of person are you really?”

The next morning, Jiang Danhe opened his tired eyes. After thinking through the night, he decided to give Xiaoguo an explanation. If she misunderstood him, he would be finished. He had to explain to her that Li Shouji was the one at fault, and not him.

With dark circles under his eyes, he sat at the desk and picked up a brush. He smoothed out the rice paper and began to write.

He was done after writing three large sheets of paper. When the ink was dry, he picked the letter up and checked through it carefully. When he was sure that nothing had been left out, he placed it neatly into the envelope.

When he left the house, he bumped into Li Shouji, who was also going out. Both of them saw the dark circles under each other’s eyes. The corners of Li Shouji’s mouth twitched. “If I remember correctly, I was the one who was beaten up…”

Jiang Danhe did not speak and only raised his hand. Li Shouji got ready to run when he saw that. Jiang Danhe aimed at his arm and grabbed him. “An errand please.”

“You’re not going to hit me?” Li Shouji asked annoyingly.

Jiang Danhe looked at Li Shouji and did not speak. After the latter lowered his head, he handed the letter over.

Li Shouji took the letter and took a step back. Seeing that there were no further instructions, he got ready to leave. Before leaving, he asked, “Is it still the same routine?”

Jiang Danhe nodded.

“By the way, that book of love poems… I’m leaving!”

Li Shouji had brought up the book again with the intention of apologizing. However, when he saw the look in Jiang Danhe’s eyes, he instantly fled. Running for his life was more important.

“Please wait, my dear Minister.”

Jiang Danhe stopped in his tracks and stood rooted to the ground with his head lowered. He only looked up after all the ministers had left the room.

“Why don’t you look up at me?”

Shao Zhan found it very strange. What was Jiang Danhe doing today? From the start of the court meeting, he had his head lowered. Now that the meeting had ended, he still did not look up.

When Jiang Danhe heard this, he hesitated. In the end, he looked straight ahead without completely lifting his head.

From this angle, Shao Zhan could see his eyes clearly. His gaze landed on the area around Jiang Danhe’s eyes and he instantly burst out laughing.

“You? Hahaha.”

Jiang Danhe was frowning so hard that his knitted brows could be used to catch a fly. He knew that if Shao Zhan saw him, he would definitely mock him endlessly. That was why he lowered his head and did not look at him. But eventually, Shao Zhan still managed to see his eyes.

When he was done laughing, Shao Zhan cleared his throat and said slowly, “Is this caused by you eating too much of the dried pears that you had snatched from Xiaoyi? Did you have problems sleeping because you had eaten too much?”

Last night, Shao Zhan had been waiting for Xiaoyi to eat together, but the boy did not come. After sending someone to check on Xiaoyi, he found out that the little guy had been crying for a long time. He cried so hard that he fell asleep in a daze.

When he heard this, he felt sorry for the boy. He quickly asked someone to find out what happened, and was told that the culprit was Jiang Danhe!

“Tell me, why did you fight with a child for food?”

Shao Zhan was in a dilemma. One was his son, and the other was his brother. His brother had made his son cry. He could not say much to either of them. It was a difficult situation.

When he woke up today, he heard that Xiaoyi was starting to feel sad again. The palace had been kept busy since the previous afternoon until this morning, making dried pears for him. After making batches of the dried pears, Xiaoyi did not even touch a single piece. He just kept asking for the original ones. But where were they going to find that for him?

Jiang Danhe didn’t feel guilty at all when he heard this. He said with self-righteousness “It is not a crime to take something that belongs to my wife.”

“…” Shao Zhan was so angry that he laughed. He gritted his teeth and said, “Wasn’t that given to Xiaoyi by your wife?”

“Then why didn’t you think that my wife had asked Xiaoyi to bring the dried pears to me?”

“Aye? Where’s my knife?”

Shao Zhan rummaged angrily for the knife that he always carried with him.

“It’s at your waist.”

Jiang Danhe calmly told him where it was.

“Get lost.”

Jiang Danhe smiled and was about to leave when he heard a voice behind him.

“Do you have any more dried pears?”

Jiang Danhe’s ears twitched. He quickly walked out of the door after saying that the dried pears were in his belly. Then, he swiftly walked down the steps.

As soon as he finished speaking, a memorial was thrown at the spot where he had left. If he had stepped out a second later, it would have hit him.

“Your Majesty, please calm down.”

Eunuch Su tried to calm Shao Zhan down. Although he knew that the emperor wasn’t really angry at the general, he still had to soothe him to make him feel better.

As soon as Eunuch Su said that, Shao Zhan immediately calmed down and asked worriedly, “How is Xiaoyi?”

“He’s tired from crying. He is having his breakfast.”

“That’s good. His throat would be painful after crying for so long. Please urge the imperial kitchen to quickly find a way. They have to make the dried pears such that they are dried and fleshy at the same time.”

Shao Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. Although his silly son loved to cry, it was fine as long as it did not affect his appetite.

“Yes.”

After Eunuch Su excused himself, he went straight to the imperial kitchen. He was still worried about the matter and went over personally to take a look.

“Eunuch Su.”

“Yes, how is it?”

Eunuch Su looked at the head chef and asked anxiously.

“Take a look. This batch and this batch have been returned.”
