Xiyan stomped her foot, feeling aggrieved. âYouâre the same as Young Master! You think that our young madam is easy to bully because she is young and kind!â
After saying so, Xiyan ran off in anger.
Laiyue watched the maidservant run away and felt completely helpless. Of course he knew that Third Young Master was a little unreasonable, but he couldnât persuade him.
Xiyan quickly returned to Chu Lian and related the story. Upon hearing it, Chu Lian was so surprised that she had to put her book down. She hadnât expected to be proven right!
She was so speechless that she made Xiyan report everything once again.
âWhat? The outer court even sent ingredients over?â When she heard this, Chu Lianâs eyes lit up.
Xiyan was still feeling sad for her mistress; she didnât expect Chu Lian to mention the fresh ingredients out of the blue like that. Her stare turned blank for a moment before she nodded and said, âThatâs right! I heard that Eldest Young Madam was afraid that breakfast would be delayed in the morning, so she sent out fresh ingredients to each courtyard. They arrived alongside dinner.â
Hey! If there were ingredients, then everything would be fine. It was hard enough for her to sit through one meal at the Jingâan Estate. Since He Sanlang wanted to take it all for himself, then he could have it all. She wasnât going to miss it one bit!
Chu Lian scrambled off the couch and tossed her book aside. She was going to the courtyardâs kitchen right now.
Xiyan couldnât keep complaining about her mistressâ unfair treatment if she was going to do that! She rushed to stop Chu Lian from going out. âThird Young Madam, you canât wear that outside!â
Chu Lian took one look at the thin, cool sleeping clothes she was wearing and immediately realised how inappropriate it was. âThen go and quickly find me some normal clothes to wear.â
Mingyan heard her from outside and came in to help.
With their assistance, Chu Lian quickly changed into a light yellow dress. Her hair still wasnât dry, so she simply pinned it up with a white jade hairpin. She was dressed so simply that she resembled a magnolia, gentle and refined as it rested on its outstretched perch.
