"Who is it?" Li Yuzhu casually asked.
Her family had no friends here, so it didn’t matter who it was.
"It’s that Miss Chai from the Chai Family." The Great Princess blinked mysteriously.
"It’s actually her?" Li Yuzhu became curious, "Why did she come to this area? Who did she come with? What is she here for?"
Has that Miss Chai’s illness healed?
Thinking of her situation, Li Yuzhu genuinely hoped she was getting better.
The Great Princess shook her head, "It seems her family’s servants brought her here, not sure what she’s here for. She was sitting in the ox cart, shouting continuously, saying something like ’I won’t go to Taohua River Village, don’t expect me to die there.’ So she’s going to Taohua River Village. Does her family have a house in the village too? The Chai Family is indeed wealthy."
Li Yuzhu thought about her unusual actions and remembered that in three days it would be Miss Chai’s elder sister’s wedding. This Miss Chai must have been intentionally sent here by her family.
To prevent her antics from affecting Miss Chai’s wedding day.
If on the wedding day, Miss Chai also slaughters a rabbit or some other creature and throws it in front of the guests, the wedding would indeed be lively.
The Chai Family is taking precautions.
"Isn’t her elder sister about to get married? Her family probably sent her to the countryside to rest so she wouldn’t mess up the wedding banquet." Li Yuzhu thought for a moment and said.
"It’s possible." The Great Princess nodded.
"Third sister, why are you still chatting? Father and the Princely Heir have come back, hurry and cook!" Xue Family urged as she walked over.
Li Yuzhu turned around, just in time to see Prince Luling returning with the Princely Heir and his brothers.
"I’m going to cook dumplings; dinner will be ready soon." Li Yuzhu went to the stove and started boiling water, "Dumplings can’t be made in advance, have to wait until everyone is here to start cooking."
Xue Family rolled her eyes and walked away.
Li Xing’an jogged over, "Third sister, what are we eating today? I’m so hungry."
"Shepherd’s purse dumplings," Li Yuzhu said with a smile.
"How many dumplings per person?" The Second Young Master also ran over to ask.
"Twenty," Li Yuzhu smiled.
"Wow, that’s a treat." Li Xing’an rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes scanning the neatly arranged dumplings on the table, licking his lips with anticipation.
But since they were vegetarian, Xue Family and the Second Princess sighed.
As the dumplings came out of the pot, Li Xing’an couldn’t wait to take a bite.
His eyes lit up instantly, "Delicious."
The Second Princess widened her eyes at him, "Third brother, is it really good?"
"If you don’t like it, give them all to me." Li Xing’an held his chopsticks and reached for the Second Princess’s bowl.
"No!" The Second Princess hurriedly covered it with her hands.
Xue Family silently took a bite, and it seemed, not bad after all.
She lowered her head and ate quickly.
The Princely Heir, the Second Young Master, and Prince Luling and his wife also praised the dumplings’ taste.
Little Li Jing sat obediently at the table, holding a small bowl and eating by himself.
His bowl had ten dumplings, "Taste good, so delicious."
With every bite, he said something, making everyone laugh heartily.
Only Li Guoguo was eating the rice porridge boiled with carrot bits.
Weaned early, she surprisingly didn’t fuss, being so well-behaved that it was heart-wrenching.
While feeding her the porridge, Li Yuzhu thought to herself, she’d have to find a way to get a milk goat.
Milking some every day would help nourish these two kids.
But where to find a milk goat?
After lunch, Li Yuzhu checked the herbs that Xue Family and the Great and Second Princesses had dug up.
It seems the idea of distribution according to work is working well.
Everyone brought back a bag of herbs.
