Su Xuerong was stunned.
The look in his eyes was filled with astonishment, surprise, indignation, and disbelief...
Seeing the ever-changing expression on her face, Xiao Yuan suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He was about to speak when he saw the young woman in front of him glare at him fiercely, then angrily turn around and run downstairs.
Su Xuerong's face was filled with rage!
Recalling the perilous night in the cave, she felt only endless gratitude for the person before her.
But after hearing his contemptuous and humiliating remark, her guilt and remorse for being injured while saving her vanished instantly.
Ming Shu was baffled as he watched Su Xuerong leave without saying goodbye, her face grim, taking Xiu Chun and Han Changrong with her.
But wasn't what Master said just now a bit too much?
Xiao Yuan stared intently at the departing figure, his fingers involuntarily clenching.
Ming Shu ran up, hesitatingly saying, "Master, should I explain things to her for you...?"
The situation in the cave at Jinshan Temple that night was extremely dangerous, but her master risked everything to save her, almost losing his life in the process.
He originally intended to give this opportunity to Xiao Yuan, letting him tell Su Niangzi himself.
But he never expected his master to have such a sharp tongue...
It's a long story.
Xiao Yuan sneered, "This woman is cunning and scheming; she should not be trusted!"
He had seen it clearly just now: Su Xuerong's concern for Ling Qingxue far exceeded that for him, her savior.
What do you mean by "I have no way to repay you"? She clearly just wants to use this opportunity to curry favor with Ling Qingxue!
Ming Shu shook his head as he looked at his master's ashen face.
Forget it, why is he worrying about other people's business?
For the sake of this Lady Su, he has been "forced" to become Lin Jinyu's fiancé.
When he arrived in Hangzhou, he himself didn't know how to deal with this troublesome matter.
After Su Xuerong returned home, the anger she had felt earlier gradually dissipated.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself. Why bother arguing with someone who's completely unrelated to her?
However, he was indeed injured while saving himself...
Su Xuerong thought for a moment, and the next morning she went to the morning market to buy things and then went to the kitchen.
Zhou brought Yuan'er over, looked at the various ingredients she had prepared, and asked with some confusion, "What are you making?"
Dried plums, cinnamon, lactose, ginger...
Is this about cooking or something? Zhou couldn't tell.
Su Xuerong smiled and said, "I'm going to make a refreshing lychee syrup. I'll let you try it when it's done."
This medicinal dish, called "Lychee Paste," contains no lychees at all. It was a refreshing and cooling delicacy carefully crafted by a female imperial chef in the previous life.
At this moment, the imperial chef probably hasn't entered the palace yet.
After arranging the ingredients, Su Xuerong suddenly remembered that she needed to add one more spice.
She initially wanted Xiuchun to buy some, but after thinking about it, she decided to buy them herself.
She didn't want to use musk obtained through killing, so she went to the pharmacy to buy musk wood or musk grass.
The aroma of muskwood and thyme is far inferior to that of real musk, but if they are blended properly, they can achieve the same fragrance and medicinal effects.
Thanks to the fact that she was tormented in the palace in her previous life, she has gained a lot of good experience in this life.
"What kind of medicinal herbs does your wife want?" The shop assistant came up to her.
Su Xuerong said, "I want musk..."
Before she could finish speaking, the impatient shop assistant immediately said, "I'm sorry, madam, our pharmacy is out of musk recently."
Su Xuerong shook her head and smiled, "I want to buy musk wood or thyme."
The waiter was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly nodded: "We do have those two items, but the aroma and medicinal effects will be greatly reduced."
"It's alright, give me some of everything."
In order to synthesize a fragrance and medicinal effect equivalent to real musk, Su Xuerong spent two whole days blending the incense.
Looking at her daughter's behavior over the past few days, Mrs. Zhou was quite puzzled.
When did Ah Rong learn to make incense?
After the incredibly realistic "musk" was made, Su Xuerong began to make the lychee paste that was famous in her previous life.
Boil the ingredients in water, strain out the dregs, then add lactose and boil again. Add ginger juice and boil out the dregs again... Finally, add musk, and you're done.
Looking at the snow-white syrup in front of her, Zhou could smell a strong lychee fragrance. She took a small bite and exclaimed with delight, "It really does smell like lychee!"
Su Xuerong made a lot, letting everyone in the family try a small bowl. She then put the remaining lychee paste into two newly bought white porcelain jars and had Han Changrong deliver them directly to the Jinxiu Inn.
"Give it to Lord Ming and tell him that this is a gift for my savior," Su Xuerong said.
Han Changrong scratched his head.
Wasn't Lord Ming the one who saved my life?
However, he dared not delay his wife's affairs, so he immediately ran to the inn and delivered the lychee paste and the original words without missing a single one.
Ming Shu looked at the two exquisite porcelain jars, then turned and went upstairs.
"Master, this was sent by Lady Su, who said it was for her savior to enjoy."
Xiao Yuan was looking at the official gazette that had just been delivered. Without even looking up, he snorted coldly, "You can take it and distribute it to people!"
What nice gifts can you give to a young woman from the countryside?
Was he also a down-on-his-luck scholar like Ling Qingxue?
As for her saving my life, I have already repaid her kindness and do not need her to repay me!
Akira glanced at the man sitting in the wheelchair.
Isn't this a three-year-old child?
A child who got into a fight with his friend after failing to grab candy!
"Old Han said this is lychee paste, but it's not made from lychees. It's quite rare!" Ming Shu deliberately opened the jar and clicked his tongue in amazement.
