The county magistrate smiled apologetically and personally escorted Ye Diao and Xue Huan out of the county government office.

"Xiaoxian, are you okay? Did those people bully you?" Ye Diao looked Xue Huan up and down.

Xue Huan smiled and said, "What could possibly happen to me? Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

She turned around in a circle to show that she was really fine.

"How did Brother Ye rescue me?" Xue Huan asked after getting on the carriage.

Ye Diao said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing, I just invited Cai Kuo for tea."

The county magistrate, who was considered to be of great importance in the eyes of others, was nothing more than a lowly figure in his eyes.

Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxian was protected by the Ye family, Cai Kuo still dared to touch her. It was obvious that he did not take the Ye family seriously.

It seems that the Ye family is too low-key in their daily lives.

If I don't teach him a lesson, he will really think that the Ye family is easy to bully!

Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed across Ye Diao's eyes.

Xue Huan knew that Ye Diao and Cai Kuo were definitely not just drinking tea, but there was no need for her to find out too much about the details.

"This time, thanks to Brother Ye, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."

"Xiaoxian, you're being too polite. Since you call me Big Brother, as the big brother, it's my duty to protect you. This time, it was my negligence that caused you to suffer such a great injustice. Don't worry, it won't happen again in the future."

After sending Xue Huan to Zhao's house, Ye Diao did not stay long. He told her to have a good rest and left.

Xue Huan asked the servants to boil water and washed herself thoroughly from head to toe.

Coming out of the bathroom, Ah Man took the handkerchief and started to wipe her hair.

Xue Huan asked a maid who was doing odd jobs in the yard to call the housekeeper.

After Chen Tian arrived, Xue Huan pushed a box filled with copper coins across the table and handed it to him. "I'm very pleased with everyone's loyalty to their master this time. Take these rewards and distribute them to everyone. Everyone will receive an extra month's salary."

Chen Tian hurriedly said, "Miss, this is what we should do. Why do we need to pay you an extra month's salary?"

Xue Huan looked at him calmly, "Those who have made contributions will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Go."

Chen Tian said nothing more.

Ah Man behind him said happily: "Girl, do I have it too?"

Xue Huan smiled and said, "Of course, go and claim your reward."

"Okay!" Ah Man ran out excitedly.

The servants were all delighted after receiving the reward money, and they once again felt that they had followed the right master and that they would serve the girl well in the future.

The next day, Xue Huan took a thank-you gift and drove to Ye's house to pay a visit.

After the doorman learned of her identity, he sent someone to report to Young Madam Qin, Ye Diao's wife, who was now in charge of all the internal affairs in the Ye Mansion.

Qin was looking at the account book in the room, and the maid was fanning her.

After hearing the maid come to report that Miss Zhao came to visit, she immediately said, "Please come in."

She had heard her husband mention Miss Zhao several times before. As a wife, she felt uncomfortable when her husband frequently mentioned another woman's name. She was not the type to hide her feelings, so she complained in a half-truthful way.

If there are any problems between husband and wife, they can be resolved.

When Ye Diao noticed her jealous attitude, he found it very funny and said frankly that he had no romantic feelings for Miss Zhao.

Seeing her husband's frank attitude, Qin believed it and became even more curious about Miss Zhao.

When she really saw Miss Zhao, Qin couldn't help but feel relieved. No wonder her husband said that she had no feelings for Miss Zhao at all. This Miss Zhao was really ordinary in appearance.

Thinking of this, Qin secretly spat at herself in her heart. Appearance is natural, and she really shouldn't think of others like this.

She got off the couch and went to greet her personally. "I've heard my husband mention Miss Zhao a long time ago, and now I finally get to see her. Lusong, go to my room and get some rose water, and make Miss Zhao a cup of rose water tea."

While pulling Xue Huan to sit down beside the couch.

Xue Huan smiled and said, "I hope you won't mind my intrusive visit, Madam."

Qin said angrily, "I'm so happy to see my sister. Don't call me Madam anymore. It sounds so strange. Call my husband "Brother" and call me "Sister-in-law."

Xue Huan readily agreed: "Sister-in-law."

She motioned A'man to come forward, and Qin saw that she was holding a large three-layer food box in her right hand and a flowerpot in her left hand. There was a peony planted in the pot. The strange thing was that the peony had two flowers on one branch, one pink and one purple. This was really rare.

"How did you grow this flower, sister? It can actually bloom two flowers of different colors at the same time."

This pot of flowers was the one that Xue Huan had bought before. She had been watering it with spiritual spring water from time to time these days, and the peony had grown quite bright and charming, and later another flower even bloomed.

Thinking that Mrs. Ye loved flowers, she brought this pot of flowers with her.

"I don't know much about flowers, and I usually neglect to take care of it. When I found it, it was like this. I am a rough person, and it would be a waste to have such a beautiful flower in my hands. I heard from Brother Ye that the old lady loves flowers the most, so I brought it here to offer as a gift to the Buddha."

"The old lady loves flowers the most, she will definitely like them when she sees them." Qin did not refuse and accepted them on behalf of the old lady. She immediately ordered someone to move them to the old lady's place.

Xue Huan opened the three-layer food box again, and immediately a cool breeze came out of it.

She took out the food from the lunch box one by one.

There are smoothies, ice bowls, and double skin milk.

Each layer has its own kind, and they are all placed in clear crystal bowls as big as sea bowls. They are very beautiful.

"This is mint honey milk smoothie, this is fruit yogurt ice bowl, and this is red bean double skin milk. I don't have any other hobbies on weekdays, I just like to think about food. Now that the weather is hot, I like to eat something cool and icy."

Qin's family was already wealthy, and marrying into the Ye family brought her even greater opulence. As the saying goes, one generation judges by food, the second by clothes, and the third by literary talent.

As a royal merchant family that has been rich for three generations, the Ye family has really studied how to eat to the core, and the Qin family is extremely particular about what they eat and wear on a daily basis.

What new and novel food have you not seen?

However, she had never heard of these three things before her. It's not that she had never heard of them at all, as ice bowls were not uncommon in wealthy families.

However, the ice bowl made by Xue Huan was very different from any she had ever eaten. Not to mention the variety of fruits inside, their bright colors, and their sweet taste, the yogurt itself was something she had never heard of before.

Qin was a straightforward person. She would not hide anything if she did not understand something and would ask directly and openly.

Xue Huan didn't show any sign of satisfaction at all, and explained it to her in detail.

Nothing else mattered, but when Qin heard her say that she made ice, she couldn't help but suspect that she was hallucinating.

In her understanding, ice is either formed naturally in winter or taken out from the ice cellar, but the ice in the ice cellar is also formed naturally, not artificially made. Now she actually says that the ice used in these desserts is made by her?

Can you make your own ice?
