"Of course, this is specially made for you. You can eat as much as you want, Xier."

Wu Xiyue's eyes flashed with surprise. It seemed that she didn't expect that after receiving so many valuable gifts, Sheng Nanxi would still be willing to take a second look at her snacks.

When she trembled as she opened the wooden box layer by layer, Sheng Nanxi discovered that in addition to the top layer of soft cakes, there was another layer of exquisitely crafted shortbread underneath, and another layer of various sweet soups.

Look at it, there are more varieties of snacks than those sold in restaurants outside, and they are made more exquisitely!

The bottom layer of the wooden box must have been kept warm by some means, as all kinds of cakes were still emitting steam, making them look even more mouth-watering.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Wu Xiyue's ears turned red with embarrassment. She looked at Sheng Nanxi with some trepidation and whispered:

"Xi...Xi'er, I did all this myself. These past few days, the old lady and aunt knew you were coming, and they were all very busy. I also wanted to show my appreciation, so I did it on my own."

"If...if there is anything I am not satisfied with, I hope...I hope Xiao Xier will forgive me."

Tsk tsk... She is really an overly honest and kind young lady.

Sheng Nanxi looked at the layers of snacks that were so exquisite that they were comparable to modern luxury goods, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Knowing that this girl is shy and fragile, I deliberately made an exaggerated expression. With starry eyes, I looked left and right around the snack box.

"Wow - I thought the top layer of pastry was already exquisite, but I didn't expect the two layers below to be even more exquisitely made. Xiao Xier has never seen such beautiful snacks before!"

"This peony dough is so lifelike, just like a blooming peony. And this koi cake is even more lively, just like a pair of koi playing in the clear water! Sister Xiyue, do you want to wish little Xier wealth, good fortune, and a safe growth? Sister Xiyue, you are so kind!"

"And this hawthorn cake, crystal cake, lantern cake... um... so good! They are all so good!"

At first, Sheng Nanxi just felt sorry for the girl and ate a few mouthfuls of food exaggeratedly.

Who would have thought that Wu Xiyue was really good at cooking? She added homemade spices to many of the pastries, and they tasted delicious in a way that you wouldn't experience anywhere else. I couldn't stop eating them and stuffed several mouthfuls into my mouth.

Sincere praise from children is the most healing. The series of compliments were like sugar-coated bullets that directly stunned Wu Xiyue.

After a while, he slowly came back to his senses, rubbing Sheng Nancy's head with red eyes.

"Xi...Xi'er, I'm glad you like it. I...I'm afraid that the things I prepared without your permission might not suit your taste..."

The rest of the Li family didn't expect this little girl to be so smart. She only said a few words to comfort the sensitive Wu Xiyue. They all stood aside in a daze.

Unexpectedly, the little girl had her mouth full of crumbs, but she did not forget to turn around and give everyone a sweet smile.

"Xi'er knows that behind these gifts are everyone's love for Xi'er. In fact, the most important thing is not the gift of meeting, but everyone's sincerity towards Xi'er. Gifts have a price, but sincerity is priceless."

"So, no matter what you give me, I will always love you just like you love me!"

The little girl tilted her head when she said the last sentence. She raised her hands above her head and made a big heart shape to everyone. She looked so cute that it was against the rules.

Although the older cousins ​​didn't know what this action meant, they were almost at a loss for words because of her cute look.

The old lady was even more soft-hearted. She rushed forward in a few steps and picked up her little granddaughter:

"Yes! Look, our little Xier said it so well! What's not important is the gift, but the sincerity behind the gift! Oh my - our little Xier is really good at talking, grandma really loves you!"

The old lady who was a step behind beat her chest and stamped her feet, "Old woman, how many children did you hold before? Now it's my turn to look at my good granddaughter!"

The second uncle stepped forward swiftly, "Dad, we are lining up! We agreed that Big Brother will hold my baby first, so don't cut in line!"

The youngest seventh cousin also tried to stretch his head to look at the little sister: "Me too! Woohoo... My sister is so cute! I want to hug my sister too!"

Unfortunately, just as he stretched out his hand, Gu Yuancheng next to him moved his body as if nothing had happened and blocked him.

The Li family was very excited and surrounded Sheng Nanxi, talking and laughing non-stop. It was not until a maid came to announce that dinner was ready that they humbly walked towards the dining room.

The meal was a great success. Most of the dishes on the tables were Li Zhenyi and Xiao Xier's favorites.

The remaining dishes also took into account the habits of the other people in the group. Even Sheng Jinghai, who was still hated because he took away Li's cabbage many years ago, was symbolically taken care of.

It can be seen that the Li family attached great importance to this cleansing banquet and found out everyone's taboos and preferences in advance.

Sheng Nanxi was chewing on a braised pork elbow while listening to the adults chatting. Hearing that this meal was arranged by her aunt, she couldn't help but think highly of her.

It is said that a person can see the big picture from the small details. It is not difficult to arrange a dinner party, but it is a science to arrange a dinner party so that everyone is satisfied with the meal. It can be seen that this aunt is a person who is both careful and good at grasping the overall situation. The harmonious atmosphere of the Li family today must also be due to her contribution.

After everyone finished eating, grandma asked grandma to take them to the yard to rest early. Sheng Nanxi, however, was thinking about renovating the house and winning with grandma's family.

He immediately showed off his superb cuteness, wiped his chubby hands, and walked over to his grandmother.

"Grandma, the dinner you and aunt prepared is so delicious. Little Xier can't help but like spicy food! Can I go shopping first and then go back to rest~"

The old lady favored her, so how could she bear to see this little girl staring at her with her big, bright eyes? She immediately smiled and picked her up.

"Okay, okay! If you want to go shopping, go ahead! I think it's best if you don't leave this time. It's just right for you to choose a yard you like, so you can live by yourself when you grow up."

"Really?" Sheng Nanxi was a little surprised.

"Of course! When your mother got married, your grandfather and I said that the Li family would always provide her with a place to stay. The same goes for you. Your uncles also said before that you can live in the mansion as long as you want."

"If Xiao Xier can stay here forever and accompany an old lady like me for a few more years, that would be great!"

In a trance, the old lady seemed to see the little Li Zhenyi decades ago through Sheng Nanxi, and her heart felt mixed for a moment.

If she had known that Sheng Jinghai was so successful in his career and would move to Beijing with Yi'er a few years after their marriage, she and her husband would probably not have easily agreed to the marriage, causing them to meet Yi'er only a few times in the past few decades.

According to her, all those glory and wealth are empty, and it is best for the family to be together harmoniously.

Anyway, there are still many empty courtyards in the mansion. If Yi'er and her family don't mind and are willing to live in the mansion, it will be a blessing for her.

Li Zhenyi knew that Sheng Nanxi had feelings for her. She took out a small cloak and put it on her, with tenderness in her eyes.

"Go ahead, Xier. Do whatever you want. Mom, your grandmother, dad, and brothers will always support you."

Sheng Nanxi obediently let her mother tidy up her clothes. When she turned around, she saw that everyone in the Sheng family was looking at her firmly. It seemed that no matter what she did, they would support her unconditionally.

She felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart and nodded to the elders, then led the little boy and followed the grandmother who was leading the way.

The servants also knew that this little girl was the apple of everyone's eye, so they were particularly respectful to her.

But the little girl kept circling the mansion and led them to the northern courtyard. Finally, she stopped in front of the remote and deserted North Fourth Courtyard, eager to go in and take a look.

Now the servants all changed their expressions and started to persuade him to stop.

"Miss, there is a high-temperature spring in the North Fourth Courtyard. The yard is not only damp and slippery, but also quite smelly. You, a precious person, should not go in, right?"

"Oh! This yard stinks. If the girls go to the hot springs, we have to walk in a hurry to get some water. Many weak maids will feel dizzy if they stay in there. How can a rich man like you go in there?!"
