Chapter 45 Promise

Three days later, Wen Yingxue and Aunt Lian returned to the Wen Mansion with perilla and mugwort, and more than a dozen secret guards hiding in the dark.

Wen Yingxue could clearly feel that everyone in the Wen family was much more respectful towards her.

"Wow! You are willing to come back?" Wen Yuyan said, with envy in her tone.

Concubine Yang glared at Wen Yuyan, then turned around and supported Concubine Lian, saying, "Sixth Miss and Sister Lian are back. Did you have fun these days? I've had people clean up Xuemei Courtyard and Fangyu Pavilion."

Wen Yingxue nodded and thanked Aunt Yang: "Thank you very much, Aunt."

"Oh! We are all family, why thank me? Miss Six is ​​too polite." Aunt Yang said with a smile, and became more affectionate to Wen Yingxue and Aunt Lian.

A group of people were walking on the road, and Aunt Yang never stopped talking. She was really eloquent.

"Sixth Miss, are you back this time to attend the Empress's Lotus Banquet?" When they were about to arrive at Xuemei Courtyard, Aunt Yang suddenly asked.

"That's right." Wen Yingxue did not hide it.

Aunt Yang smiled, then took Wen Yuyan's hand and said to Wen Yingxue, "Sixth Miss, your fifth sister doesn't know anything. When we go to the Lotus Banquet, I'll have to trouble you to take care of her."

Wen Yuyan finally stopped pouting and looked at Wen Yingxue.

Aunt Yang was very caring towards Wen Yingxue and Aunt Lian, and Wen Yuyan had no bad intentions, so Wen Yingxue nodded in agreement.

When Aunt Yang got the promise, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

After seeing off Aunt Yang and Wen Yuyan, Wen Yingxue lay on the couch by the window thinking about things.

Ai Ye ran over excitedly: "Miss! Miss, stop being in a daze, I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

Ai Ye smiled and said, "Hehe! I heard that the fourth young lady has been in a miserable state these past few days. The whole capital knows that she was kidnapped by bandits. Her reputation is completely ruined."

Wen Yingxue uttered a bored "Oh" and said, "How can this be considered good news? I already know all this."

"And I haven't finished yet. The Fourth Young Miss was punished and grounded, but she still refused to behave herself. She cursed you and Concubine Yang in the yard all day long.

Later, somehow, the news reached the master's ears. He was furious and insisted on cutting the fourth young lady's hair and sending her to the Taoist temple to become a nun.

Wen Yingxue chuckled. Wen Rouqing was still as brainless as ever.

"Then what?"

Ai Ye continued, "Then the eldest and second young masters came to plead for mercy, and the master let the fourth young lady go. However, he still punished her to copy the female rules and female training a hundred times.

And he immediately arranged a marriage for the fourth young lady, and the wedding will take place on the seventh day of next month."

Wen Yingxue became interested and asked, "Which young master is it?"

Wen Rouqing finally married a scholar named Xu, who was the favorite student of Wen's father. Later, Xu was also very hardworking and passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.

Ai Ye thought for a moment and said, "He's a scholar. I heard his surname is Xu. His family is very poor and they only have a few acres of land."

It seems that Wenrouqing finally married Mr. Xu this time.

"Yeah, I understand."

Ai Ye laughed twice and said, "This time it's all good. Madam has been sent to the farm, and the fourth young lady will be married soon. From now on, we can rest assured."

Wen Yingxue shook her head. That’s not necessarily true.

In the evening, Father Wen invited the whole family to dinner together. At the dinner table, he showed great care to Wen Yingxue, wishing he could make up for all the fatherly love that Wen Yingxue had lacked before.

It’s a pity that the real Wen Yingxue is dead, otherwise she would have been very moved.

"Miss, I will be away for a few days. There is something I must do." Zi Su put on her previous black clothes, carried a small bag, and came to say goodbye.

"Okay, then you must be careful." Wen Yingxue instructed Zi Su.

Zi Su nodded, turned around, flew over the roof and disappeared.

Wen Yingxue was about to turn around when her eyes suddenly widened. Damn, there were so many things going on that she kept forgetting about them. This time when Zi Su goes on a mission, she will meet her true love!

Forget it, let’s wait for Zi Su to come back and find out the situation.

After a good night's sleep, Wen Yingxue smelled the sweet and crispy aroma in her dream the next morning. She knew it was made by the chef of Nie Chubai's mansion.

"Ai Ye, what smells so good?" Wen Yingxue jumped up and ran to the outer room without even putting on her shoes, just in time to see Ai Ye setting the table.

"Miss, why did you run out without wearing shoes? The general asked Wu Nan to deliver breakfast. The general said you would definitely want to eat it." Ai Ye said with a smile.

Wen Yingxue looked at the cheese, big meat buns, small steamed dumplings, and a bowl of blood swallows on the table, and her mouth immediately started watering.

She reached out and took a delicate little steamed dumpling and put it in her mouth. It was filled with crab roe. She took a bite and her mouth was filled with fragrance. Wen Yingxue immediately opened her eyes wide and nodded. It was delicious!

Ai Ye stamped his feet and said, "Oh! Miss, go wash up before eating."

Wen Yingxue nodded and ran to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

After a while, Wen Yingxue came back in a hurry: "I'm starving, starving, Ai Ye, come and try it, these crab roe steamed dumplings are so fragrant and delicious."

Wen Yingxue picked one up for Ai Ye, who put it in her mouth and nodded immediately.

"It's really delicious, miss. The general is so kind to you."

Wen Yingxue ate the sweet and soft cheese with a spoon. After hearing what she said, she thought about it carefully and realized that Nie Chubai was indeed very good to her.

Living in the General's Mansion these past few days, she had the best food and everything she needed. As she ate, Wen Yingxue suddenly started to resemble Nie Chubai.

"Miss? Why don't you eat anymore? Is it not to your liking? Otherwise, give it to me." Ai Ye saw Wen Yingxue in a daze, and his mouth was watering as he looked at the bowl of sweet cheesy food.

Wen Yingxue came back to her senses and slapped her face. It was over. After only one day of separation, she started to miss Nie Chubai.

He quickly shook his head and pushed Nie Chubai out. It was time to eat, so the most important thing was to eat seriously first.

Wen Yingxue gave half of the yogurt to Ai Ye, and the master and servant ate it with great relish.

At noon, Nie Chubai sent someone to deliver Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Crab Roe Lion Head, Jade Belt Shrimp, Braised Spring Bamboo Shoots, and Seven Star Fish Ball Soup.

"Miss, it smells so good, why don't you eat it?" Seeing Wen Yingxue sitting in her seat with her arms crossed, with a look of bitterness and hatred on her face, Ai Ye asked puzzledly.

Wen Yingxue frowned and asked, "Ai Ye, tell me, is Nie Chubai treating me like a pig? He keeps giving me all these delicious foods all day, intending to fatten me up and then slaughter me for meat?"

"Miss! You have wronged the general. The general is just fulfilling his promise." Ai Ye said.

Wen Yingxue asked, somewhat bewildered, "Promise? What promise? How did you know?"

Ai Ye smiled and said, "How should I know? It's spread all over the general's mansion. The general himself said that he wants you to eat delicious food every day, and it won't be the same twice."

Wen Yingxue touched her chin. Nie Chubai seemed to have said something like this. What should I do? I actually felt so touched!

A breeze blew by, and the rich fragrance penetrated Wen Yingxue's nose. Wen Yingxue immediately stopped thinking about anything else.

"Ai Ye, go call Auntie over, let's eat!"
