Yun Jiao just smiled faintly when she heard this, and didn't say anything. She had something hidden in her heart, but there was no one around her whom she could trust, and she didn't even dare to tell A Yu.
After sitting for a while, the servant came over and invited everyone to have dinner in the main hall.
Probably because Sang Xue had come, tonight's dinner was particularly sumptuous. There were also fish and shrimps, which were extremely rare in Lanzhou City, on the table. It was obvious that they had been transported from the east with great effort.
When Yun Jiao came over, Ling Che and Sang Xue were already there.
Sang Xue sat next to him, holding his arm, and leaning against him from time to time. The cold and beautiful woman turned into a clingy kitten, acting especially dependent.
She walked over as usual, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I wonder how old Jiaojiao is this year?" Sang Xue spoke first.
"Fifteen." Ling Che moved his chopsticks, letting Sang Xue hang on his arm, and picked up a shrimp and put it into Yun Jiao's bowl. "Aquatic products are scarce in Lanzhou City. These are live shrimps shipped from the Wulan River in Jiangbei. There is only this portion. Try it."
When Sang Xue saw this scene, a hint of gloom flashed across her eyes.
Flash by.
"Ache, I want to eat shrimp too." She giggled.
Ling Che picked one up for her with his backhand, "You've been greedy since you were little, and you like to eat delicious food. You wouldn't even look at ordinary chefs."
Hearing this, Sang Xue smiled even brighter and brighter. She glanced at Yun Jiao sitting opposite her and said:
"I am two years older than Jiaojiao. From now on, Jiaojiao can just call me Sister Sangsang."
"You and I are both Ache's people. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me. Don't be shy. I am an easy person to get along with."
She seemed like a gentle and intellectual older sister, but Yun Jiao focused on eating and ignored her.
Ling Che pinched her face and said, "You are sensible. With you here, even if there are really a hundred women, this backyard won't explode."
Sang Xue giggled and leaned into his arms.
Even when eating, they are inseparable.
Yun Jiao turned a blind eye.
"Ah Che, my finger is injured. Could you please peel two shrimps for me?"
Yun Jiao: “?”
"Sister Jiaojiao, thank you for your hard work." Sang Xue smiled.
Yun Jiao raised her head and subconsciously looked at Ling Che. She saw him holding the bowl and chopsticks, chewing food elegantly and leisurely like a cat of noble pedigree. Her silence meant she agreed.
Since she was a child, she has only been filial to her mother and Uncle Jing.
This Sang Xue is only two years older than her, why does she order her around?
"Your hand is injured, can't you bite it with your teeth?" She refused directly, "Besides, why do you keep so many servants in the mansion? To make up the number of people?"
Without waiting for Sang Xue to say anything, she continued:
"I see your fingers are white and slender, you don't look injured, so you probably don't want to eat shrimp, so let's change the dish."
After saying that, she brought the plate of shrimps in front of herself and handed a bowl of tender tofu that the toothless old lady liked to eat to Sang Xue.
When Sang Xue saw this, her face immediately darkened, becoming cold and ugly.
Since she was a child, no one has ever dared to talk back to her like this!
"Ache, look at her! I came back all the way from the Western Regions, riding a horse, exhausted, and my hands were rubbed raw from holding the reins for so long. Now, even if I want to eat a shrimp, I have to look at someone's face..." Her eyes turned red with grievance, she put down her chopsticks, and didn't want to eat anymore.
"If I hadn't brought people with me and rushed back from a thousand miles away to save the situation, I don't know if the four major families would have done such a thing..."
Ling Che swallowed the food in his mouth slowly, looked at Yun Jiao on his right side, and said:
"Jiaojiao, be sensible and peel shrimp for Sister Sangsang."
