"Have you checked it out?" Xiao Linmu asked.

Leng Qianjue nodded: "It was Chu Sike's doing. Yesterday, Xia Yi went to the Chu Mansion."

What Xiao Linmu asked Leng Qianjue to investigate was exactly the reason why Xia Yi came back soaked yesterday.

He knew that this matter was definitely not simple, but no matter how he asked, Xia Yi would not tell him.

"Young master, Chu Sike has always lived in the capital, how could Little Xia Yi offend him?" Leng Qianjue had some suspicions. When he was secretly investigating, he did not manage to find out the reason behind the matter.

Xiao Linmu's eyes turned sharp, "Stare at Chu Sike, and if necessary, teach her a lesson. If she dares to make a small move in private, you know what to do."

Leng Qianjue clearly felt the cold, and replied sternly: "Got it."

After instructing all of this, Xiao Linmu's gaze swept over Leng Qianjue's body.

Leng Qianjue knew that Xiao Linmu still had more to say, and asked: "Does Sir have any other instructions?"

Xiao Linmu gritted his teeth, as if he had made some sort of decision, "You stay behind to cook."

"Me?" Leng Qianjue was startled, then he became excited, "Young Noble, are you serious? "Alright, I'll go right now!"

Leng Qianjue disappeared from Xiao Linmu's sight like a gust of wind.

When Xia Yi heard the door opening, she looked towards the door and saw Leng Qianjue disappearing into the corner of the kitchen.

Xia Yi asked Xia Yang and Xia Yue in a daze, "Yang, Yue Yue, have you seen anything flash past?"

Xia Yang and Xia Yue shook their heads at the same time, "No."

"Really?"

The two of them nodded at the same time, "Elder sister, Yang didn't see anything."

Xia Yi was worried, she was just about to go to the kitchen to take a look, when Xiao Linmu walked out from the house, "It's Leng Qianjue."

"Uncle Leng? What is he doing in the kitchen now? "

Usually, Leng Qianjue would go to the kitchen only when he was in the kitchen to observe and study. He would occasionally help Xia Yi by washing some vegetables and peeling some spring onion.

But Xia Yi was sitting outside, she did not know what she was planning to do in the kitchen.

Xiao Linmu said expressionlessly: "Go and cook."

"Uncle Leng cooks? I think I'll go and take a look. " Xia Yi got up.

Xiao Linmu walked up and sat Xia Yi down on a chair, "Wait."

Xia Yi thought about it, Leng Qianjue's experience in the kitchen could be considered rich. In this past month, she had taught Leng Qianjue many things, but because Xiao Linmu was here, she couldn't let him practice.

Therefore, Xia Yi nodded and said: "That's fine, I'll just have to test the results of my teaching."

Xia Yi did not know Leng Qianjue's identity, but because he was addicted to the kitchen, Xia Yi felt that it did not match his temperament.

She turned and asked Xia Yue and Xia Yang, "Yang, Yue Yue, what do you two want to do when you grow up?"

Xia Yang answered first, "Sister, I want to be like you, able to cook especially delicious food."

Xia Yi laughed: "Wow, another one who wants to be a chef. It seems that this profession is very popular."

Xia Yang blinked his eyes and asked in his childish voice, "Can big sister teach me?"

Xia Yi pointed at Xia Yang's nose and said: "Of course you can, but you have to find a little to be able to use the stove."

Then, Xia Yi turned to look at Xia Yue, and asked: "Yue Yue, what about you?"

Xia Yue's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, "Woman … Can I make a choice too? "

Xia Yue was already six years old and already had an ignorant understanding of a lot of things.

She knew that the girls in the Spirit Mountain Village were all homesick and didn't have the right to choose. Mao Cuilan had often told them that as a woman, in the future, they would have to marry, so she had to learn how to do household chores.

"Why not?" Xia Yi explained, "Women and men are the same, look at your sister, don't you still have the chance to open a restaurant and receive an official document?"

"Also, look at the words you've written, they're not any worse than Yang's. How are you going to determine that you don't have a choice? As long as your choices are what you like and make you happy, you can live that way. " Xia Yi continued to console her.

Xia Yue's eyes slowly lit up, and she looked at Xiao Linmu again: "Brother Mu Lin, do you think so too?"

Xiao Linmu nodded solemnly.

Xia Yue tilted her head and thought about it, then frowned: "But I still don't know what I want to do."

Xia Yi rubbed Xia Yue's head: "Yue Yue is still young, I am not in a rush. I can take my time.

Xia Yue nodded and continued writing.

The kitchen had the aroma of food coming from time to time, causing Xia Yi to feel slightly more at ease.

It was only until the sun had completely hidden behind the red clouds that Leng Qianjue finally came out of the kitchen with a satisfied smile on his face. "Children, it's time to eat!"

"I'm going to eat something cooked by Uncle Uncle Leng." Xia Yang clapped his hands.

Xia Yi was also very much looking forward to it. Just now, when she was outside smelling the fragrance of the food, she was already extremely hungry.

Leng Qianjue cooked four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, and boiled white porridge.

Leng Qianjue passed Xia Yi a pair of chopsticks: "Please comment, Young Master Xia Yi."

Xia Yi looked at Xiao Linmu, and seeing that Xiao Linmu did not have any intention to touch the chopsticks, he took the chopsticks from him.

Before she touched the chopsticks, she said, "Just looking at the color of the dishes, apart from the color being a little bit heavier, there's no problem."

"Young master, try it again." Leng Qianjue said.

Xia Yi picked up a piece of potato chips and took a bite.

Although the taste was not very good, it could still be eaten, so Xia Yi said: "Not bad, you have improved a lot compared to before."

Leng Qianjue's eyes were filled with smiles. He pulled a chair close to Xia Yi and sat on it, flaunting it at Xiao Linmu, "Young master, little master praised me too much."

Xiao Linmu did not speak, he only picked up his chopsticks and picked up a small piece of potato.

For Leng Qianjue, this was already the best indication.

Even though Xiao Linmu had only eaten half of what he normally would have …

Being sick these past two days was the most comfortable two days after Xia Yi came to this dynasty.

However, it hadn't even been two days and trouble had already come knocking on his door.

Mao Cuilan and Xia Erfu's daughter Xia Xuejiao had come to visit.

"Xia Yi, my parents told you to come to my house."

Xia Xuejiao was a few years younger than Xia Yi, but she had never been called Sister Xia Yi, nor did she have any respect for Xia Yi.

All of this was because of Mao Cuilan's attitude toward the three siblings.

Xia Xuejiao was only a child, so she naturally followed suit. She treated Xia Yi,, and the two others as if they were servants.

He had done many things in the past for Xia Yi to wash his clothes and pour tea for him.

From Xia Xuejiao's words, Xia Yi obtained some information.

Her uncle, a gardener in the capital, had returned.

Listening to what Xia Yang had told him, Xia Erfu had treated them quite well when he was still around, but because of his majesty, they did not dare to act brazenly.

It was commonly known as — being afraid of a wife …

Xia Yi was interested in meeting this Second Uncle of hers.
