On the other side,
Li Zhan left the courtyard and went to his study. Once there, he first dealt with some urgent office documents.
After that, I started thinking about how to get Jue Ge adopted into his wife's family as soon as possible.
After all, he didn't want his son to be looked down upon because of his status.
Then I realized that perhaps because they hadn't known each other for long, and that the lady hadn't quite adjusted to being taken in as a stepson upon their first meeting.
Thinking of this, Li Zhan decided to have Jue Ge spend more time with his wife in the near future.
Who knows, as time goes by, his wife might come to truly accept Jue Ge.
They took the initiative to register him under their name and adopt him as their stepson.
After all, it wasn't just him saying that his brother Jue did seem quite clever and quick-witted.
It's hard to find someone who doesn't like her!
So in the following days
In the quiet courtyard, you can often see a child coming and going.
Sometimes they would bring pretty flowers to give to Mo Qian.
Sometimes, they would bring out some delicious pastries for Mo Qian to try.
Sometimes, it would be a new and interesting toy that Mo Qian would come to admire and play with.
...
Mo Qian remained indifferent to Jue Ge's arrival.
Even when he tried every trick in the book, Mo Qian remained indifferent.
today,
Li Jue carried a plate of pastries and hurried into Mo Qiandi's courtyard.
Upon seeing Mo Qian enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, he quickly went over to her, a smile playing on his lips.
"Madam, a new dessert has been made in the kitchen. I've brought it for you to try." After saying this, Li Jue quickly placed the pastry he was carrying on the table in the pavilion.
There was a hint of ingratiation on her face.
Even his voice carried a hint of pleasure.
After hearing Li Juedi's words, Mo Qian looked at the pastries on the table.
Then, he turned to Li Jue and said.
"Take it back. I'm allergic to peach blossoms," Mo Qian said in a cold tone, her face expressionless.
As for Mo Qian's nonsense, she wasn't worried that anyone would question it. After all, the original owner had been in the manor for so many years, and no one knew her likes and dislikes.
After all, Li Zhan didn't stay long after he first entered the general's mansion before being sent out to fight.
The old lady cared even less about the original owner of this body.
"I...I understand." Li Jue's face flashed with hurt after hearing Mo Qian's words. His tone was somewhat dejected.
The last time I brought almond cookies, my wife said she didn't like almonds.
The last time I brought pumpkin pastries, my wife said she didn't eat pumpkin.
The mung bean cakes I brought last time were a bit too sweet for my wife.
...
I don't know if this time I'm really allergic to peach blossoms, or if I simply don't want to eat what he served.
Li Jue thought to himself, a surge of anger rising within him.
However, he still wore a sad and ashamed expression on his face.
"Okay, go back now, and don't come back again." Although Mo Qian saw the injury on Li Jue's face, she remained unmoved and said coldly.
His voice carried a hint of indifference.
"I... I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll head back now, Madam." Upon hearing Mo Qiandi's voice, a flash of anger crossed Li Jue's face, which he quickly concealed.
He seemed not to have heard what Mo Qian said.
They hurried away quickly.
"Miss, do you think this child will come again next time?" Xiao Lian asked Mo Qian, watching Li Jue's departing figure.
A hint of curiosity lingered on his face, and his voice rose two octaves with curiosity.
"He'll come if there's an advantage. If he had agreed before, he might not have come later because of his pride. But now, it's hard to say," Mo Qian said calmly, her voice tinged with indifference.
It seems they don't care at all about the children mentioned in the topic.
"Yes, Miss, it seems they'll probably come back." Xiao Lian said immediately after hearing Mo Qian's words, her face serious.
"Forget about him, how's the matter I asked you to handle?" Mo Qian then asked, her face indifferent.
"Miss, I've almost finished organizing everything. I guarantee that your dowry will be kept safe and sound," Xiaolian replied quickly after hearing Mo Qian's words.
His voice held a hint of seriousness. His previously smiling face now appeared solemn and earnest.
"Okay, that's good then." Mo Qian replied after hearing Xiao Lian's words, a faint expression flashing across her face.
"But Miss, why did you have Xiaolian start preparing the dowry?" Xiaolian asked, her voice tinged with doubt.
"You'll know when the time comes, there's no rush now." After hearing Xiaolian's words, Mo Qian did not immediately answer her question, but simply brushed it off.
After all, I don't want to scare her by not saying it now.
"Yes, Miss, I will do as you say." After hearing Mo Qian's words, Xiao Lian did not press the matter further, since her mistress had her reasons for not speaking now.
She'll find out when the time comes; she's not in a hurry now.
After sitting in the pavilion for a while, Mo Qian returned to her room.
After returning to his room, he asked someone to bring him ice.
Previously, the original owner had always been frugal in order to support the General's Mansion. Things like ice in the summer and charcoal in the winter were things that the original owner never used.
Little did people know that despite her diligence and thrift, Du Jiaoniang was using the household's resources very ruthlessly.
In summer, three basins of ice are a must, and in winter, the finest gold-thread silver charcoal is used.
Now that it's Mo Qian's turn, she doesn't think about being as frugal as the original owner; she uses things as they come.
"Miss, this is the frozen dessert you asked us to make." Just as Mo Qian was lying on the cool chair with her eyes closed, resting, Xiao Lian's voice came from outside the door.
His voice was filled with excitement and joy.
A short while later, Xiaolian came into the room and placed the ice cream on the small table next to Moqian's cool chair.
"Miss, this ice cream looks quite appealing," Xiaolian said after putting the ice cream down, a hint of surprise on her face.
"Yes, this is a dessert I saw in a recipe. I had some free time, so I had someone try it out. I didn't expect it to turn out so well."
Mo Qian held one of the bowls, scooped a spoonful with a soup spoon, and fed it to her mouth, saying.
A hint of contentment lingered on his face.
"Hmm, Miss, this ice cream doesn't look complicated, but I didn't expect it to look so refreshing."
On the tray were three bowls of ice cream.
It consists of watermelon juice poured over crushed ice, topped with other fruits and vegetables. It looks both refreshing and appealing.
"Hmm, there are still two bowls left. You can take one and try it too," Mo Qian said to Xiao Lian beside her after taking a few bites, with a slight smile on her face.
"Thank you for your generosity, Miss. I won't stand on ceremony then," Xiaolian said jokingly after hearing Mo Qian's words. She then picked up a bowl and began to eat.
"You, when have I ever missed out on anything?" Mo Qian shook her head helplessly and smiled after hearing Xiao Lian's words.
"Miss is the best," Xiaolian said immediately afterward, a smile on her face.
Afterwards, the two enjoyed the coolness of the summer heat...
