Chapter 609: Chapter 609, Curiosity Kills the Cat (4 Updates)
Xiaoyuan had really disliked it at the time, but later on, she kept using that unsightly pouch.
It wasn’t until they got married and Xiaoyuan was beaten that she never used it again.
At that time, he was slow and insensitive, never thinking deeply about it, and allowed her to suffer grievances, creating an unbridgeable rift between them that ultimately led to their divorce.
After many experiences, he realized that while physical pain fades with time, the scars left in the heart don’t dissipate. They accumulate day by day, more and more, until they finally erupt.
Lichun felt somewhat embarrassed.
She hurriedly added, "I didn’t expect you to be able to sew. Why did you learn sewing? That’s something only girls do. You’re really amazing!"
"It’s nothing special," Dong Sheng replied vaguely.
But he had distanced himself even further from Lichun.
His heart already had someone in it, filled to the brim, leaving no room for anyone else.
No matter how excellent or good that person is, if there’s no room, there’s no room. To avoid misunderstandings, it’s better to keep some distance.
Lichun, absorbed in her thoughts, felt that her own appearance wasn’t bad. Although she couldn’t compare to the heavenly beauty of her young mistress, as chief maid, her status was different. Winning Dong Sheng over wouldn’t be difficult.
When Xie Zhinuan saw Dong Sheng, she called him over to sit and asked him earnestly about some matters. Dong Sheng answered meticulously and carefully, without a single slip.
Xie Zhinuan was satisfied.
At least compared to last year, Dong Sheng had matured a great deal.
Growing through pain, that somewhat shy young man had become a true man, capable of supporting a shop and taking on the role of manager.
"Very well, if you think everything is ready, we can open the day after tomorrow. But you must be vigilant about the source of the pork; make sure not to buy any dead or diseased pigs, lest it tarnish the reputation of Xieji’s braised meat!"
"Miss, rest assured, I remember everything!"
Xie Zhinuan had Dong Sheng accompany her to fetch spices, as well as spiritual spring water.
A little spiritual spring water poured into the well could bring out the best in the pork and spices; the braised meat stewed with it would be tender and delicious. Not to mention using it for noodles or other dishes.
Xie Zhinuan gave Dong Sheng a large pot of ground spices and a small bottle of Spiritual Spring Water.
"Pour this into the well, and remember, let no one else know about it!"
"Yes!" Dong Sheng nodded seriously, carefully taking possession of it.
When leaving, he did so resolutely, not even greeting Lichun.
"..." Lichun was slightly annoyed.
How could he be so rude?
Dinner
The table was laden with a sumptuous array of dishes. Xie Yi helped himself to the food, taking small bites, while Qin Mao occasionally scooped some soup or vegetables for him, which he accepted without objection.
Xie Zhinuan watched with a touch of joy.
It was a good thing that the two children got along well. At the least for Xie Yi, growing up with the future master of Number One Manor, sharing meals and sleeping in the same bed was different in the Martial World.
He might not realize it now, but when he grew up and stepped into the Martial World, he would understand.
After dinner, everyone sat together in the dining hall chatting. Rourou teased Xie Yi with a bowl, while Qin Mao sat upright on the side, her gentle and innocent demeanor also endearing.
Mu Rourou was curious about Rourou’s origins and even more curious about Duobao, whom she had only seen once, and who seemed cold enough to chill someone to the bone.
"What’s the name of that frosty person? The one who came with you. I didn’t see him at dinner today?" Mu Rourou whispered her question.
"His name is Duobao. He eats in his own courtyard. He is the coachman for the young mistress!" Rourou glanced at Mu Rourou.
She felt that in just a short time, there had been a great change in her.
From being fragile as a whisper, she now seemed to show signs of madness.
