Yuezheng Xiao laughed as he looked at him. “Oh alright, no wonder this happened!”
Young Master Xie never forgot whatever he saw, and he never made mistakes in remembering things. Yuezheng Xiao was thinking in a mocking way.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “I should have reminded you more urgently… oh here is the ginger soup, drink it to drive away the coldness. The rain is just so torrential!”
Qiao Xuan let out a sigh of relief, and felt lucky to have ended the topic.
Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao expressed their gratitude to the farmer and accepted the ginger soup.
They should not get cold. Though the ginger soup tasted bad, they still took it and drank it.
The farmer had never spoken with any noble, handsome young master, so she was startled by their gratitude. She got startled and staggered, and finally ran away in a hurry.
Shao Yunduan said to Qiao Xuan,. “Drink some ginger soup too, I will get you some.”
“No!” Qiao Xuan took hold of him and whispered. “I don’t like the taste, I don’t want it.”
“But look at the weather…”
She spoke in a coquettish tone, which made Shao Yunduan’s heart throb. He flushed slightly and dropped the topic.
She was healthy, and had never complained about being tired after so many visits to the mountains. She should be well.
Soon, Yuezheng Xiao’s servants arrived.
They came with a well-wrapped clothes bag, but not a wagon.
The wagon had fallen into a water pit, and was broken…
Now they had to wait until the rain stopped, so someone could come and fix the wagon…
There was nothing else they could do at the moment.
The rain was slowing down and it should be over soon.
But the road to town was very far away.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “It is lunch time, if you want, I can borrow the farmer’s kitchen to make some casual food, what do you think?”
Yuezheng Xiao was startled. “Second Miss, you know how to cook?”
Qiao Xuan chuckled as she raised her eyebrows. “It is just cooking, right?”
Yuezheng Xiao laughed and said to her happily, “Sure, then, thanks, Second Miss, we are really starving!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “So are we. I will just make some casual food since I will be using the farmer’s kitchen!”
“You can change your clothes till then and wait. I will be done soon!”
Qiao Xuan told them and dragged Shao Yunduan inside to give her a hand.
Shao Yunduan had no opinion and followed her into the kitchen.
Yuezheng Xiao found the whole scene so rare. He said to Xie Jingrong happily, “Second Miss is so interesting, so is Cultivated Talent Shao. He is willing to cook food with his wife. How did Second Miss manage to make him so obedient?”
Xie Jingrong glanced at him. “Just drop it.”
Making him so obedient? That was not a very polite phase to use.
Yuezheng Xiao chuckled and stopped.
In the kitchen, Shao Yunduan could not help but say. “Are you really making food for them?”
Shao Yunduan wasn’t pleased. Why must his wife make food for those two?
Qiao Xuan patted his hands and smiled. “We are starving too, right? And the farmer is helping us, it should be done quickly.”
“I can help you as well, just tell me what to do.”
He knew that when she was making food at home, washing and cutting vegetables as well as dishing were all done by his elder sister-in-law as well as Taotao. She had never done such work before.
She was a nobly born daughter, and did not know how to do all of these.
