Chapter 759
The person you like?
Before following Huo Zhao, she was solely focused on curing her mother's illness. Even after following Huo Zhao, her life was not peaceful until recently when things finally settled down.
Jixiang shook her head: "This servant has no one she likes."
"Is it really not true?" Huo Zhao said, "Life has finally gotten better, so don't make yourself suffer."
"Really not," Jixiang chuckled. "Young Madam, don't worry. If I had someone I liked, I wouldn't be so polite with you. I'd definitely ask you for a dowry!"
"Then I will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you."
Huo Zhaodao.
The master and servant's eyes met in the mirror, both smiling.
After getting ready, Huo Zhao went to have dinner and asked Le An the same question again.
Le'an shook her head as well: "This servant doesn't have any!"
Ji Xiang raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you quite familiar with Jing Yuan? I think he's pretty good. You've known each other for so long, aren't you tempted?"
Le An turned to look at her, and said with a forced smile, "Who would fall in love with someone they work with?"
Seeing each other during the day wasn't enough; they had to see each other again at night after they went to sleep. Le'an felt hopeless about living like this.
Besides, once you get married, you have to have children. Le'an hasn't forgotten the hardships Huo Zhao went through back then.
Women are so vulnerable when they are pregnant.
Le'an didn't want to become like that.
Her question stumped both Huo Zhao and Ji Xiang.
Hmm...that makes sense.
Huo Zhao sighed and said, "Very well, we can talk about it later when you have the time."
As soon as she finished speaking, the wet nurse arrived carrying Chen Nianchu.
When Chen Nian first saw Huo Zhao, he opened his arms to hug him. Huo Zhao caught him in his arms and teased him. Time passed slowly amidst their laughter and cheerful conversation.
As it approached noon, just as Huo Zhao was about to have lunch, the old lady sent someone to call him again.
Mother Shui immediately sneered, "This old lady really knows how to pick her time."
Why call me now, when the food is already on the table?
This person really doesn't want Huo Zhao to have an easy time.
Huo Zhao just smiled and said, "I won't go. Mom has worked hard too. Let's finish our meal early and get some rest."
As he spoke, Huo Zhao immediately picked up his chopsticks.
Could the old lady be more important than her belly?
Seeing that she really wasn't going, Mother Water nodded.
She was about to leave when Jixiang followed her out.
Mother Water looked at Jixiang in surprise.
Jixiang smiled and said, "I listened to Mother's teachings this morning. While Mother is still here, please give me some pointers."
Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Mother Water's eyes.
This child is really good.
So Mother Water nodded and went out with Jixiang.
Upon reaching the door, Jixiang raised his chin and said, "The young mistress is having dinner, so I won't go over."
The maid who came to deliver the message looked grim: "The old lady is waiting in the room for the young mistress to serve her. Why is the young mistress eating by herself?"
Jixiang frowned: "With so many people in your courtyard, you can't even serve the old lady properly. What use are you?"
