She wouldn't be as dull-witted as Shen Ziyu, nor would she blindly obey orders at such times.
After all, she didn't stop even when Ye Lingyu said no.
Unlike Shen Ziyu, who makes it hard to tell whether she's genuinely stupid or just pretending.
Meng Chuying had already brought the medicine to Yun Yue, and Hongyu had also brought some food. Shen Ziyu was hiding in the living room and hadn't come out yet, so she didn't know how Yun Yue was doing.
The food that Hongyu had served to Ye Lingyu was still on the table.
Ruan Banxia had finished her chilled milk and watermelon and was tapping the empty bowl out of boredom.
The clinking of the wooden spoon against the ceramic bowl, one sound after another, seemed to touch someone's heart.
Cheng Qingyan led Jiang Jiang from the kitchen, carrying the chilled drinks she had personally prepared, towards the big tree in the yard.
Fish in the pond created ripples on the water, and lotus leaves swayed in the breeze.
The warm wind couldn't dispel some people's sorrows.
Seeing Cheng Qingyan carrying a tray over, Ruan Banxia tapped the empty bowl: "Sister-in-law, I never expected Brother Cheng to be so virtuous, capable in both the living room and the kitchen. It's truly enviable."
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Cheng Qingyan to hear.
Cheng Qingyan glanced into the living room, but didn't see the peeping head. She raised her voice and said, "It's not hard to find a virtuous wife. Luo Ji told me the other day that he got a new accountant at his shop. Not only is she good at accounting, but she's also a great cook."
"Moreover, he was handsome, gentle and refined, and came from a good family. He even wanted the accountant to switch careers and become a cook."
"If you want to find someone who is both elegant and domestic, I'll have him introduce you to that good-looking accountant."
Ruan Banxia's eyes were somewhat vacant, and it was unclear whether she had listened to Cheng Qingyan's words.
She tilted her head and sighed, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Brother Cheng's good intentions. I'm going to become a wise person and never be a slave to my emotions again."
Meng Chuying looked up at Ruan Banxia in surprise: "Master, are you going to live a lonely life?"
“No matter what Master chooses, I will support you. At worst, I will take care of you in your old age.”
After she finished speaking, Ruan Banxia giggled.
Look, this child has only been raised for a short time, yet she's already so sensible, knowing to take care of her in her old age. Unlike some people who are impossible to tame, who, after consuming so many of her medicinal herbs, would simply abandon her.
You ungrateful wretch! You heartless bastard!
Ye Lingyu handed Ruan Banxia a bowl of chilled watermelon with milk and osmanthus honey that Cheng Qingyan had brought her.
Ruan Banxia beamed, "My sister-in-law is so kind to me! Why didn't I meet her sooner?"
Cheng Qingyan frowned as he listened. What dangerous remarks were Ruan Banxia making? Her relationship with her wife was as strong as gold and as resilient as a rock.
Ruan Banxia was about to eat the chilled watermelon with milk and osmanthus honey that Ye Lingyu had given her when Cheng Qingyan darted forward and took the food away.
With lightning speed, he steadily placed the bowl of chilled watermelon with milk and osmanthus honey in front of Ye Lingyu.
Ye Lingyu chuckled softly, and Ruan Banxia rekindled Cheng Qingyan's sense of crisis.
The defense mode has been activated, and indiscriminate attacks are now in effect.
Cheng Qingyan's strong sense of crisis was a sense of security for Ye Lingyu.
Because they care so much, they cannot tolerate anyone having the chance to take them away.
Ruan Banxia missed her spoon and angrily went to settle the score with Cheng Qingyan.
Now is the time to settle both old and new grudges.
She slammed her hand on the table, startling Jiang Jiang. She then quickly smiled at Jiang Jiang.
"Good boy, Aunt Ruan is scolding your father, not you."
Jiang Jiang clung tightly to her bowl, determined that no one could take her food away!
Even Ruan Banxia wouldn't do; I had just given her a chilled watermelon to please her.
This one tastes much better than the one Hongyu made for her before. She must cherish this one and make up for the regret of not having had the previous one.
Jiang Jiang's protective manner towards food resembled Cheng Qingyan's protective manner towards Ye Lingyu.
Ruan Banxia knew that scolding Jiang Jiang wouldn't work, and she didn't want to do it anyway. So she could only wrong Cheng Qingyan. The reason she was here today, and the culprit behind everything that happened afterward, was because of Cheng Qingyan.
Ye Lingyu pushed the watermelon that Hongyu had brought to them earlier toward Ruan Banxia.
Her gesture was a silent way of saying that she couldn't eat the watermelon that Cheng Qingyan had brought.
That's so exciting! It's incredibly exciting!
"Sister-in-law, are you going to do the same as them? Is it more important that I still have a watermelon!"
Ye Lingyu scooped a spoonful of milk ice into her mouth. It was icy cold and delicious. The watermelon tasted especially sweet today.
She gestured to Ruan Banxia, saying, "Banxia is more important than watermelon. You eat this bowl first, and later your sister-in-law will have her sister Hongyu bring you a watermelon."
? ? ?
Is this a problem with the watermelon?
It seems to be a watermelon issue again.
Ruan Banxia was amused and exasperated: "Sister-in-law, this isn't about the watermelon; you're blatantly favoring Brother Cheng!"
Ye Lingyu smiled and said, "Then tell me, since Ayan and I are husband and wife, if I don't favor her, who do I favor?"
That's the logic, but hearing it just doesn't feel right.
She also wanted to be openly favored.
Alas, when will a love that flows between two people finally come to her?
Ruan Banxia pouted, thinking of Shen Ziyu, that blockhead, that the road ahead was long and arduous!
Meng Chuying silently scooped a spoonful of milk from Jiang Jiang's bowl. It was so sweet it made her teeth ache, but Jiang Jiang didn't object. Instead, she moved the bowl closer to her.
For some reason, Ruan Banxia suddenly felt a sour and foul smell in the air.
Cheng Qingyan, who was favored, waved his fan and silently revealed a smile.
She was thinking that she should find Ruan Banxia a companion as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't always miss her own wife.
She couldn't tolerate anyone having designs on her bedside.
But why isn't Shen Ziyu coming out? What is she doing hiding in the house?
People just can't help but keep thinking about it. She kept waiting for Shen Ziyu to come over, but Shen Ziyu never came out.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Shen Ziyu helped Yun Yue out of the living room, with a maidservant by her side.
Yun Yue felt much better after taking the medicine, and the red spots on her face had also shrunk.
Upon exiting, I saw several people sitting under a tree, so I walked over there.
Cheng Qingyan nudged Jiang Jiang, who was eating watermelon: "Jiang Jiang, go play with your sister Chu Ying for a while~"
Jiang Jiang buried her head in her drink, but after Cheng Qingyan poked her, she looked up from her bowl and said, "Father, give me some food. I'll take Sister Chu Ying out to play~"
Cheng Qingyan tapped Jiang Jiang's little head: "You've learned to negotiate with your father? Little thing, go find Aunt Hongyu to get you some of your favorite food, and remember to come back for dinner tonight."
