Chapter 166 A Guilty Heart
Jiang Yueyao can cook very few dishes, but she has one dish that she is very good at - fish balls in sour soup.
Fish balls are made with fresh fish meat, which makes them particularly delicious and chewy. They are even more flavorful when served with sour soup.
Bai Shaoting was on duty early, so she still got up before dawn.
After she cooked the fish ball soup, she added some golden thread noodles into it, and it became a bowl of sour soup fish ball noodles. She added a few vegetables to the noodles, which looked delicious.
She carried the food box to find Bai Shaoting, who was already waiting in the yard.
He took the lunch box and asked casually, "What did you do today?"
"Lord Lu doesn't like meat, so I made some sour soup fish ball noodles. Would you like to try it? I have some more."
"You should have said so earlier. I'm full." Bai Shaoting went out with his things. "Don't come out to greet me in the evening. I'll come find you when I get back."
"Okay~thank you very much."
After Bai Shaoting left, Jiang Yueyao also turned and went to Yuehua Garden.
On the way, I met Bai Shaochuan who was on his way to work.
Bai Shaochuan was dressed in a crimson official robe, looking handsome and gentle, his eyes looking at her gently.
Jiang Yueyao took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, you are going out too."
She always called him the Fourth Young Master.
Polite but distant.
He knew that the person she liked was Lu Sui.
Even if the other party ignored her, she still kept her in her heart.
Just like him, even though he knows there is no hope, he still can't bear to give up.
Bai Shaochuan took a step closer to her, his eyes falling on her cheeks that were slightly red from the cold: "Why don't you wear more clothes?"
"I came out in a hurry and forgot to wear my cloak." She explained with a smile.
Bai Shaochuan nodded slightly: "I heard that it will snow today, so wear more clothes when going out. I was so anxious that I asked the maid to fill the hot water bottle."
"good."
The two of them didn't say much and Bai Shaochuan left.
Jiang Yueyao also returned to Yuehua Garden.
The sky was gloomy today, and Shen Baoqing was still sleeping. She didn't wake her up, but sat on the couch by the window, listening to the whistling sound of the wind outside the window, but she was thinking... I heard that the Dali Temple Prison was cold and damp. If it snowed again, wouldn't it be even colder?
His injuries have just healed. If he catches a cold again, what will happen if he develops a chronic illness in the future?
Thinking of this, she got up and went into the inner room.
On the bed in the inner room, Shen Baoqing was sleeping soundly.
Since her father, General Shen, returned with great strength, her mother's illness has naturally healed, her brother's injuries have healed, and the whole family is on their way back to Beijing.
All this was good news for her.
Sometimes I wake up with a happy smile even when I fall asleep.
Jiang Yueyao was happy for her, but when she thought of Lu Sui in prison, she couldn't be happy at all...
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jiang Yueyao reached out to tickle Shen Baoqing's armpit.
The person in the quilt immediately began to twist and turn.
Jiang Yueyao leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Qingqing, please go out with me."
Shen Baoqing opened his eyes and closed them again.
She shook her head dazedly: "No."
"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to hot pot, okay?"
Shen Baoqing, a foodie, sat up from the bed as soon as he heard that there was something delicious.
"Hot pot? Where can we eat it? I know a place that has really good beef hot pot."
"Okay, whatever you say."
After breakfast, the two of them went to pay their respects to the old lady first, and then mentioned going out. After hearing this, the old lady called a maid over.
"Her name is Qiutang. She knows some martial arts. I feel safe letting her follow you."
Shen Baoqing said, "My martial arts have improved a lot recently. I don't need anyone to follow me. I can easily defeat ten ordinary petty thieves alone."
"You just know how to brag." The old lady gave her a glare, then asked someone to bring a purse, handed it to Jiang Yueyao, and said lovingly: "Buy whatever you want. This is pocket money for the two of you. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."
Jiang Yueyao waved her hands quickly: "I have..."
“Save your silver well and use it as a dowry when you get married in the future.” The old lady insisted on stuffing the purse into her hand, then patted Shen Baoqing’s butt, “Go, come back soon.”
The two men came out of the house and met the second master Bai Jinan.
As soon as they saw him, they became nervous instantly.
Bai Jinguang was on a day off today. He saw two people standing at the door, looking at him with nervous eyes.
I couldn't help but stop.
He stood in front of the two of them, his hands behind his back, his eyes darting back and forth between them.
"What did you two do wrong?"
Jiang Yueyao and Shen Baoqing shook their heads together, their movements more consistent than ever before.
"No!"
Bai Jinguang, who had originally asked just a symbolic question, immediately glared at the two men when he saw their behavior.
"Are you up to something weird again? Tell the truth now. If I find out, I won't let you off easily..."
"Look how powerful you are." The old lady walked out of the house.
When Mr. Bai Er saw his mother coming out, he hurried forward to support her.
"It's so cold, what are you doing out here?"
The old lady glared at him gently. "Why did you scare them for no reason? You're trying to show off how powerful you are, aren't you?"
"My son didn't..."
"Nothing? Look how scared they are."
Bai Jinguang was unconvinced, "...Look at them, they're like thieves with guilty consciences."
"What do you mean by 'guilty conscience'?" The old lady was very protective of her child. "They've been cooped up in my house for nearly two months. They came to me today and said they wanted to go shopping. The little girl likes shopping just like you men like drinking. Can you abstain from alcohol for two months?"
"He can't!" Before his second uncle could speak, Shen Baoqing interrupted him, his voice very clear and crisp.
Bai Jinguang was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her on the forehead.
Shen Baoqing grabbed Jiang Yueyao and ran out.
"Uncle, if you stop us again, I'll tell my aunt about your secret hiding of the silver. Humph, she'll definitely keep you out of bed for half a month."
The old lady was happy.
The maids and servants beside them were so happy that they couldn't straighten their backs.
Only the second master of the Bai family was so angry that he was spinning around in circles.
"This child, this child..."
----
Jiang Yueyao first took Shen Baoqing to the cloth shop.
She first picked out a piece of aquamarine fine cloth, then went to the next door to buy a hand warmer. Shen Baoqing asked her, "Why are you buying these? There are plenty in the mansion."
"Not for me."
"To Lord Lu?"
"Um."
Shen Baoqing suddenly didn’t know what to say.
After a long moment, he sighed softly.
"Why are you being so nice to him? He won't care at all."
"It doesn't matter. I just did what I wanted to do. I don't care whether he cares or not."
"You really don't care?" Shen Baoqing didn't believe it. "If you really didn't care, you wouldn't be depressed all day long."
After they finished shopping, they came out and passed by a building inlaid with gold and jade.
Shen Baoqing pulled her and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Jiang Yueyao let her be pulled in.
Ever since the Fourth Prince died and Lu Sui was imprisoned, the capital city suddenly became peaceful.
As the year draws to a close, the shop is crowded with people.
As the largest jewelry store in Beijing, Jinzhuangmanyu naturally has no shortage of distinguished guests.
As soon as Jiang Yueyao entered, she saw Pei Yunjin.
She was standing with Fan Ruining, the second daughter of the Fan family, and they were chatting and laughing about something.
Perhaps noticing someone was looking at her, Pei Yunjin pulled Fan Ruining around and looked at her together...
