Xiang Sheng helped out in the dilapidated temple the entire afternoon without showing any impatience.
Xue Yao knew she was a hardworking person when he saw how efficiently she worked.
In one more night, the innate poison in my granddaughter's body should be completely eliminated, and after that, it would be fine for a mortal to take care of her.
How could he let his mistress work so hard again? He originally wanted to go to the pawnshop to buy a maid to take care of his granddaughter. But when he met this girl today, he saved himself the trouble.
Jiang Yi watched Xiang Sheng busying himself, unable to help, and could only try his best to act like a fool and not reveal any flaws.
In a blink of an eye, the sun sets in the west.
Xue Yao packed up, called Xiang Sheng and rushed home.
When the two returned home, it was Qingqiong who opened the door.
Xiaobao poked his head out from behind his mother and called out in a clear voice, "Grandpa Xue!"
"Why!"
Xue Yao responded quickly, smiling so much that his eyebrows were not visible.
Qing Qiong saw Xiang Sheng beside Xue Yao and didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "Jiu Shu just fell asleep. I'll take Bao Er to the Lantern Festival and come back later."
Xue Yao quickly bowed his head and said respectfully, "Madam, take care."
When Xiaobao saw Xiang Sheng, he wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw that his mother was almost out of sight, he immediately gave up the idea of asking and ran after her.
"Mom, wait for the child!"
…
After the two left, Xue Yao took Xiang Sheng to sit in the main hall.
"My granddaughter is a well-behaved girl. You don't need to do much on weekdays. You just need to prepare three meals a day and spend time with her to relieve her boredom.
She has just recovered from a serious illness and must be eager to go out and play, but you must keep an eye on her and don't let her go out to play.
And my granddaughter likes to eat lotus root and pickled fish..."
Xue Yao gave clear instructions on all the matters to be taken care of, and Xiang Sheng nodded as he listened, indicating that he would take note of them.
Xue Yao then asked Xiang Sheng to prepare a dinner first to test his cooking skills.
This was of course no problem for Xiang Sheng, who quickly prepared a table of simple home-cooked meals, filling the room with fragrance.
"good."
Xue Yao nodded with satisfaction, then got up and went to the backyard.
Soon, he came over holding the hand of a little girl wearing a pink satin jacket.
The girl was fair-skinned, with red lips and white teeth. Her large eyes were pure and clear, like black gemstones. She looked at Xiang Sheng with her watery eyes for a moment, then smiled, revealing her gap-toothed mouth, and called out sweetly:
“Sister Shen!”
Xiang Sheng immediately showed an expression of being flattered, and responded repeatedly, "Hello, young lady. I...apart from mother, I have never served anyone else. If there is anything I have not taken good care of, I hope young lady..."
“Miss Shen, don’t be nervous.”
When Xiang Sheng said this, Xue Yao finally couldn't listen any longer and quickly raised his hand to interrupt: "My Xue family is just an ordinary family, not a wealthy family, so we don't have so many rules.
Miss Shen, please come over and help me temporarily. You are not a servant of the Xue family, so you don't have to call yourself a slave. Also, you don't have to call me Miss Jiushu, just call me sister. "
Shen Xiang hesitated: "This... Mr. Xue, you are my benefactor after all..."
This time, before Xue Yao could speak, Xue Jiushu ran over, grabbed Xiang Sheng's hand, pouted and said coquettishly:
“Sister Shen, my grandfather has said so, just agree, I also want a sister to play with me.”
Xiang Sheng was touched and said, "Thank you, Sister Jiushu, for not despising me. I will accept it."
Xue Yao watched the two of them become familiar with each other and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You girl, you are still so self-familiar. Aren't you afraid of encountering bad people?"
“Sister Shen looks like a good person.”
Xue Jiushu snorted: "Besides, even if I meet a bad guy, grandpa will definitely protect me, I'm not afraid."
After saying that, Xue Jiushu made a face.
Xue Yao shook his head and laughed, "Miss Shen, I've spoiled this girl. She's very naughty. Please bear with her in the next few days."
"Mr. Xue, you are too serious."
"Grandpa, Sister Shen, please stop talking. I'm almost starving and my stomach is growling!"
"Haha, then listen to Jiu Shu, Miss Shen, let's have dinner together."
"Thank you, Mr. Xue."
At the next meal, all three people at the table enjoyed the meal very much.
At least on the surface.
While Xiang Sheng was chatting with Xue Yao about all sorts of things, he was secretly observing Xue Jiushu, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
She didn't find it strange. If he could easily spot the abnormality, how could Xue Yao, as his grandfather, not notice it?
However, Qingqiong's cultivation and eyesight should be much higher than hers, and he has been taking care of Xue Jiushu personally recently, but he didn't find anything unusual?
Xiang Sheng frowned slightly and continued to clean up the dishes.
Xue Jiushu seemed to have not left the room for a long time and was very excited. She wanted to follow Xiang Sheng into the kitchen to "help", but was caught by Xue Yao and carried back to the backyard.
Not long after, Qingqiong came back alone, said hello to Xue Yao, and went to the backyard again.
"Miss Chen, go and rest after you finish packing. You will be taking care of Jiu Shu starting tomorrow morning."
Xue Yao walked into the kitchen and said something.
Xiang Sheng quickly agreed, then feigned curiosity and asked, "Why is that lady's son missing? Did he go home?"
When Xue Yao heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he laughed so hard that a few more wrinkles appeared on his face.
"Mrs. Qing will never send him home. I guess the boy is crying somewhere right now."
Qingqiong left Xiaobao at the Lantern Festival just to build up his courage?
Xiang Sheng was puzzled. "But the child is still young. I'm afraid he's not old enough to train his courage yet?"
"Young?"
Xue Yao seemed to have heard something funny, and chuckled twice before waving his hand. "It's just a neighborhood matter. I just listened in. I didn't ask too much, and I don't know the details."
