Xiao Qingyin blinked.
How about I treat you to tofu pudding and grilled fish?
Yi Shuihan nodded.
"Sisters, are you alright?"
Fu Weiyun arrived on horseback.
"I just received news that you have been surrounded by the yamen runners."
"It's all over now," Xiao Qingyin said with a smile. "The young master has taken care of it for us. Go and call Mother and Uncle Fu, let's have some grilled fish together."
"They're already here, just a little slower than me."
Fu Weiyun smiled.
He turned his head and greeted Yi Shuihan: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Yi Shuihan nodded slightly.
Xiao Qingyin climbed down the ladder, picked up her vegetable basket, and prepared to go to the market to buy fish.
Yi Shuihan tied up the big white horse and followed.
Xiao Qingyin: "???"
"You can wait at the Yun residence. I'll go grocery shopping by myself."
“I’m not familiar with them, and I feel uncomfortable without you.”
Yi Shuihan replied.
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
The two appeared together at the restaurant.
Upon seeing Yi Shuihan's iconic mask, the usually bustling restaurant fell silent as if under a spell.
Xiao Qingyin walked to a fish stall she frequented and asked the stall owner, "How much is this fish per pound?"
The stall owner, who was known for charging high prices, said in a trembling voice, "You...you decide what to pay."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
She glanced at Yi Shuihan and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I didn't expect you to be such a bargaining master."
Yi Shuihan: "..."
Xiao Qingyin selected six fish, each weighing three jin (approximately 1.5 kg), and paid the stall owner the usual price.
Yi Shuihan picked up the vegetable basket quite naturally.
Xiao Qingyin glanced at him and thought that this person was quite perceptive.
She then bought side dishes such as tofu pudding, cucumber, duck blood, bean sprouts, and dried bean curd sticks, which Yi Shuihan also took with her.
She was holding a few cloves of garlic in her hand.
Xiao Qingyin thought to herself, if this person were in later generations, he would be considered a perfect boyfriend.
Of the six fish, five were prepared with a fresh, fragrant, spicy, and numbing flavor. The grilled fish was crispy and fragrant, and the tofu was tender and delicate. Everyone exclaimed that it was delicious.
Fu Weiyun was so engrossed in the meal that he forgot all about home.
"Father, Mother, why don't you two go back to Liaodong, and I'll stay here to keep my sister company?"
Yun Wanyin chuckled, "Do you want to keep your sister company, or do you just want to freeload?"
"Eating is secondary; the main thing is to keep my sister company."
Fu Weiyun said with a smile.
"Okay, then stay."
As Xiao Qingyin spoke, she used serving chopsticks to pick up a large piece of fish for him.
"Thank you, sister!"
Yi Shuihan looked at Xiao Qingyin, hesitating to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingyin also put a large piece of fish on his plate.
"Thank you so much for today, please eat more."
Yi Shuihan's lips curved into a smile.
The grilled fish was so delicious that six fish were not enough for nine people.
Towards the end of the meal, even the side dishes were all snatched up.
Xiao Qingyin, still wanting more, picked out and ate the fried peanuts she had put in earlier, one by one.
Seeing her eating like a glutton, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
Xiao Qingyin looked up, puzzled.
"You eat quite gracefully."
Yi Shuihan smiled.
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
They're eating grilled fish, not milk tea, right?
Why does this person speak so sweetly?
While she was still in a daze, Yi Shuihan suddenly reached out and gently wiped the corner of her lips.
After wiping it off, he chuckled and said, "There's some peanut skin stuck here."
Xiao Qingyin: "!!!"
Is this person really the living Yama, the heir of the Marquis of Yong'an?
Could it be that he's been possessed by a ghost?
That's terrifying.
She got goosebumps all over.
He ate several peanuts to calm his nerves.
Yun Wanyin watched the interaction between the two from the side, her eyes flashing.
After a hearty meal, Yi Shuihan bid farewell to everyone.
Xiao Qingyin saw him off and fed the white horse a handful of peeled sunflower seeds.
"I'll find someone to give the heir of the Marquis of Xuanyi a piece of my mind tomorrow. He's done a lot of things to bully men and women over the years, and the Marquis of Xuanyi's mansion isn't clean either."
The cold road of Yi River.
"They'll be too busy taking care of themselves to bother you."
"Thanks."
Xiao Qingyin originally wanted to handle the matter herself, but she didn't expect Yi Shuihan to be so helpful that she could just lie down and relax.
Logically, she should be happy.
But the thought that this person might actually have feelings for her made her a little uneasy.
After Yi Shuihan left, she stood at the door for a while, lost in thought.
"Yin'er, it's windy outside, why don't you go inside?"
Yun Wanyin came out of the courtyard and reminded her.
Xiao Qingyin snapped out of her daze and smiled, "I'll go in now."
Yun Wanyin walked over and took her hand, whispering, "Can you tell me, do you like Young Master Ji or Young Master Yi?"
Xiao Qingyin's smile faltered.
"Mother, Yunhua is a girl."
"ah?"
Yun Wanyin showed a hint of surprise and smiled, "No wonder your maternal grandmother never said anything when she saw you and her standing close together."
"Please don't tell anyone, she doesn't want outsiders to know."
Xiao Qingyin gave instructions.
"Yes, Mother won't tell anyone." Yun Wanyin nodded. "What about Prince Yi?"
"I was just thinking of breaking off this engagement."
Xiao Qingyin sighed.
Yun Wanyin frowned: "But he..."
“He seems to like me a little,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “That’s what’s giving me a headache.”
"You hate him?"
No, not at all.
Xiao Qingyin quite admired Yi Shuihan.
"I just don't want to marry him."
Yun Wanyin laughed: "You just don't like him."
