“Only you know how to be endearing, only you can cook, only you can!
“Who doesn’t know how to cook?”
“I can learn too!”
Jiang Yeqian’s mind instantly began planning to learn to cook. However, after the plan was made, he reacted to himself vigorously.
Why was he going crazy along with Si Jin?
Si Jin deliberately wanted to show his solicitude to Qi Qingyao, but he was not that kind of person.
He was only approaching her to look for the Master Architect Li Qinglian and Divine Physician Su Hexiao!

He had no other purpose!!!
Before going to bed that night, when Qi Qingyao had cleaned up the children and returned after discarding the foot wash, she saw the kids kneeling all together on the bed. With expressions as if begging, they called sweetly, “Mommy~~~”
“Hmm?” Sitting down calmly, she raised her eyebrows.
“The three of us, want, want…” Xiaobao licked his red lips. As if a little embarrassed, he looked at her with watery eyes.

“You guys want to eat candied haws again?”
Qi Qingyao smiled; she refused and said, “No way, candied haws can only be eaten once every seven days, because eating too much will cause tooth cavities.” Her tone was extraordinarily gentle.
“It’s not that.” Dabao shook his head immediately.
“What is it then?” Qi Qingyao was a little curious.
Dabao said loudly and crisply, “We, we want to cultivate!”
“Cultivate?” Qi Qingyao did not expect that.
Xiaobao clenched his small fist; it looked like a pink bun. With wide eyes, he said, “We must grow up quickly, learn our skills, and protect Mommy.”
“How ambitious!”
Qi Qingyao really did not expect her children to have such a great idea. She thought it was feasible. “This idea is really good, but it’s going to be New Year soon. After the new year and after we settle down in Qingzhou City, there will be many astute martial artists there, probably some with great techniques too. When the time comes, we’ll buy a few secret scriptures and hire a good master to train all of you.”
In the next few days, Si Jin was strictly learning how to cook in the kitchen every day. Qi Qingyao brought her three little babies out of the house; she started buying new year clothes as well as some gadgets for the children.
Jiang Yeqian did not follow along openly. Instead, he wore an ox-head’s mask and followed them calmly while hiding in the dark.
…
Lu Yan did not expect that his cat would still jump out of the window sill routinely every day for the next few days. He heard the servant say the white cat will be at the window sill of the kitchen, watching the boy as he learned how to cook. The boy would also occasionally talk to the cat. Hearing these things, it felt really unbelievable to Lu Yan’s ears.

He seriously thought the cat was going to cheat on him.

However, it would still come back to the room every night. It would even go back to his bed, lying obediently on his pillow to sleep.
This confused Lu Yan.
Was this cat cheating on him or not?

By the time it was the first day of the new year, Qi Qingyao took Si Jin, Jiang Yeqian, and her three children back to the village to pay Ma Sanye a new year visit. Ma Sanye never expected that Qi Qingyao would come to him on the morning of New Year’s Day. The children had even tagged along with some gifts and Ma Sanye was especially flattered and surprised.
News that Qi Qingyao paid a new year’s greetings to Ma Sanye reached the ears of Old Man Qi’s family, making Madam Wu jealous again.
“I heard that she visited Ma Sanye,” Madam Liang said.
“Ma Sanye is not even her relative, why is she paying him a New Year’s visit?” Madam Wu’s eye roll was reaching up to the skies.
Madam Liang smiled with a hint of hopefulness, saying, “Maybe she will also come to pay us a new year’s visit later. While we were not on good terms before, she is so generous now, so she should not hold grudges.”
Besides, it was the New Year.
She would definitely pay them a New Year’s visit regardless.
After a while, there was gossip in the village.
“The Eleventh Daughter has left Ma Sanye’s house.”
“But I heard that she went to a few of her uncles’ homes…”
“…”
Old Man Qi’s family, who were setting off firecrackers at the door, went back into their house with very discomposed expressions.
They had waited till the evening, yet Qi Qingyao did not come to pay them a visit.
In the afternoon, however, several of Qi Boli’s cousins all came out to show off the gifts that the Eleventh Daughter brought them that day.
Only Old Man Qi’s family was left out. “….”
