Seeing that Wang Yuru was enjoying her food, Ye Yuqing took Wang Yuru's hand and smiled:
"Yu Rou, I don't have many friends usually. I wanted to make friends with you at Prince Jing's mansion last time, but I never found the opportunity. It's so great to meet you today."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuru's eyes lit up, and she quickly took Ye Yuqing's hand.
"Miss Ye, that's what I think too. From now on, we'll be friends!"
A flash of disdain crossed Ye Yuqing's eyes, but she then smiled and nodded at Wang Yurou.
"Hmm, when you go out to play with the young master in the future, could you take me with you?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Zixuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Yuqing. He could tell at a glance what she was up to. She probably pretended to befriend Wang Yuru, but really wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to him.
He was about to refuse when he heard Wang Yuru clap her hands happily and say:
"Okay, okay, it'll be more lively with more people. I'll definitely invite you next time."
As she spoke, Wang Yuru glanced timidly at Ning Zixuan again.
"That's right, I wonder if the young master will invite me to come out and play again next time."
Ning Zixuan was both amused and annoyed by her words, and said helplessly:
Yes, it will.
Wang Yuru smiled and nodded at Ning Zixuan, then looked at Ye Yuqing and smiled:
"Look, the young master said he'll call you later!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuqing lowered her head and gave Ning Zixuan a shy smile.
"Well, it's getting late, I should head back home."
After saying that, Ye Yuqing stood up and gave Wang Yurou and Ning Zixuan a faint smile.
"You two enjoy your meal. Remember to invite me next time you go out."
After Ye Yuqing left with her maid.
Ning Zixuan glanced helplessly at Wang Yuru.
"Why did you have to befriend her of all people? Can't you see that she has ulterior motives?"
Wang Yuru stared innocently with her big eyes and shook her head.
"No, I think Miss Ye is a very nice person. She even helped me out of a predicament at Prince Jing's mansion last time. I think she is gentle and beautiful, and very suitable to be a friend. I don't have many friends. She is the first person to say that she wants to be friends with me."
Upon hearing Wang Yuru's words, Ning Zixuan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He looked at Wang Yuru with some pity and then smiled as he spoke:
"Okay, whatever you want. Have you finished eating? If you have, I'll take you home."
Wang Yuru raised her head, smiled slightly at Ning Zixuan, and said:
"I'm finished eating, let's go."
Then she got up. Jiang Yuwei saw from afar that their table was about to leave, so she quickly put down what she was doing and came over.
"Miss Wang, are you satisfied with your meal?"
Wang Yuru nodded excitedly.
"It's so delicious, I could eat it every day and never get tired of it!"
Jiang Yuwei laughed after hearing this:
"If Miss Wang likes it, she should marry into the Prince Jing's mansion as soon as possible, and I guarantee you can eat such delicious food every day."
When Wang Yuru heard Jiang Yuwei say that, she blushed and lowered her head, pursing her lips and smiling softly.
Seeing this, Ning Zixuan blushed and said:
"Sister-in-law, we're leaving now. You go ahead with your work."
After saying that, he fled with Wang Yuru.
Jiang Yuwei smiled and shook her head as she watched the two figures leave. Yun Qing, seeing Ning Zixuan leave, also hurriedly came forward to tidy up the table. Previously, when he followed Ning Zixuan, he always had a stern face and acted as his bodyguard.
Now that he's with Jiang Yuwei, he has to do everything himself every day. Although there are many more things to do, his days seem to have become more fulfilling.
Life is more down-to-earth now, which is what Yun Qing likes, because this way he can see Xia Yue all day long.
Seeing that Yun Qing had come to tidy up, Jiang Yuwei prepared to go to the backyard to rest. But as soon as she turned around, she heard Yao Guang excitedly calling out from behind:
"Madam, Madam, I've brought my mother here to discuss the marriage!"
Jiang Yuwei turned her head and saw Yao Guang helping an old lady with a hunched back into the room.
Seeing this, Liu, who was standing behind the counter, hurriedly asked Xia Yue to watch the counter for her, and then she rushed out to greet her.
They stepped forward to help Yao Guang support Granny Yao.
Seeing that Granny Yao's eyes were darting around, looking at the shop everywhere, Jiang Yuwei knew that this old woman was no good person. When Liu went to help her, she didn't even say thank you, but instead acted as if it was her right.
However, out of respect for Yao Guang and Liu Shi, Jiang Yuwei still smiled and said to Yao Guang:
"Yao Guang, take your mother to the backyard. I'll have someone bring some food in a bit, and we can eat and chat together."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei looked at Liu Shi.
"You can come along to the back and chat with us."
Liu and Yao Guang exchanged a shy glance. Yao Guang then slapped his forehead and said to Granny Yao:
“Mother, look, she is the Liu I told you about.”
After hearing her son's words, Granny Yao looked Liu up and down with disdain in her eyes.
Jiang Yuwei also noticed the unfriendly look in her eyes and thought to herself that the marriage between the two of them was likely to encounter some twists and turns. For now, she could only take it one step at a time.
Jiang Yuwei instructed Yun Qing to prepare some of the various snacks and send them to the backyard, and then she went to the backyard herself.
Liu was making tea when Granny Yao glanced at her sideways.
"You are Liu?"
Liu hurriedly put down the teapot in her hand, stood up properly, and smiled at Granny Yao.
"Yes, ma'am."
Upon hearing this, Granny Yao slammed her cane against the ground a few times, pouting in dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, I thought she was some kind of celestial beauty who had my son completely bewitched. How dare an old hag remarry!"
Liu was initially delighted to entertain Granny Yao, but upon hearing her words, her face froze and her eyes reddened.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei, who was standing behind, smiled and said:
“Right now, you’re the oldest here. People become more valuable as they get older, don’t you think?”
When Granny Yao turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yuwei coming, her expression changed, and she said with a forced smile:
"Hehe, Madam Jiang, you've arrived. Please sit down and let's talk."
After being greeted like that by Granny Yao, Jiang Yuwei was a little confused about who was the guest and who was the host. She shook her head, smiled, and sat down.
“Auntie, Yao Guang must have told you before you came that he and Liu are truly in love.”
Before Jiang Yuwei could finish speaking, Granny Yao glared at Liu Shi, who was still standing, and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, on the surface they seem to be in love, but who knows who seduced whom first? My son is an honest and simple man. He told me that this Liu woman was a second-time bride, and I was unwilling to accept it."
As she spoke, Granny Yao coughed a few times.
“I came here today because I feel sorry for my son. I wanted to see what kind of vixen has bewitched him so much that he doesn’t even listen to his own mother and is going to take out a tael of silver from home to marry a divorced woman.”
