Faced with such doubts, Shu Jiaying was a little amused and helpless, but fortunately Kang Ningxia came out of the accounting office.
Kang Ningxia came to Shu Jiaying's rescue and said, "Who said my sister-in-law is an ugly girl? She was sick before, so her face was swollen like a pig's head. Now that she's recovered, she's naturally regained her natural beauty. Tan Er, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to Princess Chen?"
"Oh my god, the eldest daughter of the Shu family, I can't believe it's really you? No... I pay my respects to the princess!"
Finally coming out of his shock, Tan Er was about to kneel down and pay homage to Shu Jiaying.
Shu Jiaying stopped him.
"Alright, Second Brother Tan, we are all from the same village, so there's no need for formalities."
“Hehehe…”
Unexpectedly, Shu Jiaying not only became more beautiful, but also became so approachable after becoming the Princess of Chen. Tan Er was so happy that he kept giggling. Suddenly, he remembered that he had seen the old man Shu in the inn before. He asked, "The eldest girl of the Shu family... No, you see, I am quite clumsy in words. Princess, I saw your father in the inn a few days ago. He also came to Ningcheng. Did he come to see you?"
"My father came to Ningcheng? He didn't look for me, Brother Tan, did you see it wrong?"
Tan Er shook his head.
"How could that be? I even talked to him for a long time, haha... Then I saw him go to the counter to pay. I guess he should have returned to Guangming Village, right?"
"oh……"
Old Man Shu had never treated her as his own daughter, so Shu Jiaying was quite cold towards the original owner's father. She took out a few cakes from the food box and handed them to Tan Er.
"Brother Tan, this is a snack I made myself. Would you like to try it?"
“But I’m still working…”
Kang Ningxia knew that Tan Er was worried about him being around, so he nodded and said, "Since this is given to you by Princess Chen, just take it. After you finish eating, get back to work!"
"Yes, boss."
Tan Er had originally planned to take a couple of bites and leave, but when his teeth and cheeks touched the taste of the dim sum, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow... What kind of dim sum is this? It's so delicious!"
In just a short while, Tan Er had eaten up all the snacks he had received. He looked at Shu Jiaying with an unsatisfied look.
"Princess, can I..."
Shu Jiaying placed the food box in front of Tan Er.
"Brother Tan, there's still a lot here, you can eat as much as you want."
"uh-huh……"
Kang Ningxia cleared his throat and winked at Shu Jiaying, saying, "Sister-in-law, you'll easily spoil my workers like this. What if they get used to your delicious food and word spreads? Then, no one in Ningcheng will want to eat at Zhiweilou anymore."
"You're such a stingy person! How could you be like that? Didn't you ask me to give your chef some guidance? I think I'm not too busy today, so maybe I can spare some time to observe your kitchen?"
"Sister-in-law...are you serious? The kitchen is over here, please follow me."
Hearing Shu Jiaying's willingness to teach him skills, Kang Ningxia was naturally overjoyed. He excitedly took Shu Jiaying to his kitchen.
…
After traveling day and night, Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke finally returned to Guangming Village. However, when they entered the village, they all felt the villagers looking at them strangely.
Mrs. Ke found it very strange. She quickly grabbed a child and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you looking at me and my old man with strange eyes?"
