Chapter 194 Miss, Let’s Escape from Marriage!
After Jiang Wanyin sent Cui Xin away, Cui Zhu said softly, "Miss, Zhi Nian did not do anything unusual the whole day yesterday and always followed the daily schedule of the kitchen."
Jiang Wanyin slowly stood up, walked to a pot of green pine on the exhibition stand, gently picked up the kettle, and poured some water into the pot.
Her movements were graceful and deliberate, as if she were caring for a precious treasure.
After watering, Jiang Wanyin nodded slightly.
Her expression remained calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
"Keep watching her, and report to me immediately if there is any movement." Jiang Wanyin's voice was calm and low, but with unquestionable majesty.
Cuizhu responded respectfully, "Yes, Miss."
Jiang Wanyin nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and continued to focus on the matters at hand.
-
It has been three days since Zhi Nian came to Jiang Mansion. Since they met on the day he came back, he has not seen Jiang Wanyin again.
I can only stay in the kitchen every day and have no chance to see her again.
This morning, Cui Xin caught a cold in her stomach because she kicked off the quilt while sleeping last night.
When she went to the kitchen to get her lunch, her stomach began to ache.
By the time she reached the kitchen, her face had turned as pale as paper.
Douya was holding two food boxes in her hands. Seeing Cuixin's distress, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Cuixin, what's wrong with you?"
Cui Xin's little face was pale, she held her stomach tightly, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
As dinner was about to start, she was too embarrassed to tell others that she had a stomachache. After all, it sounded quite disgusting!
Zhi Nian keenly noticed Cui Xin's abnormality and said softly, "Sister Cui Xin, do you have a stomachache? Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"
Cui Xin nodded quickly, and even a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She felt that she could not hold it any longer.
She covered her stomach and ran away, leaving behind a sentence, "Niannian, please take my lunch to Tingyuyuan. I have a stomachache!"
Douya and Zhinian looked at each other. Seeing Cuixin's expression, they thought she might have a diarrheal illness.
Douya handed one of the food boxes in her hand to Zhinian, and then picked up another one on the table.
Douya walked in front and she carefully instructed Zhinian.
"The young lady has a good temper, but as servants, we cannot be too ostentatious. After the food is placed, stand aside with the food box in your hand. When you enter the house later, remember not to look around, and don't look directly at the young lady..."
No matter how Douya warned him, Zhinian always nodded in agreement, like a good child who was eager to learn.
Douya felt a little more at ease when she saw Zhinian being so well-behaved and submissive.
At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder: Why didn't she have such a cute and obedient sister? Instead, she had a fierce and aggressive sister?
Alas! Life is always filled with many unsatisfactory things.
However, Zhi Nian was completely unaware of the twists and turns in Douya's mind.
At this moment, her mind was full of anticipation and excitement about meeting Jiang Wanyin again.
After waiting outside the door for Cuizhu to call them, Douya led Zhinian inside.
As soon as he entered the door, Douya reported to Cuixin that he was feeling a little unwell, so he sent Zhinian to help.
Cuizhu heard that her sister was not feeling well and looked at Jiang Wanyin with some confusion.
Jiang Wanyin nodded before letting people start the lunch.
Douya deftly took out all the lunch from the food box and placed them on the table one by one.
Zhi Nian was watching at the table, but Douya didn't give her any chance to perform.
This caused Zhi Nian's eyes to involuntarily look at Jiang Wanyin secretly, but he didn't expect to be seen by Jiang Wanyin.
Zhi Nian was a little panicked for a moment and quickly lowered his head.
Jiang Wanyin curled his lips and smiled, looking at the timid look of the little girl in front of him.
After taking a closer look today, I found that he was indeed much more pleasing to the eye than the little beggar I saw a few days ago.
The little girl's face was soft and fair, and she looked better than when she first came. Her lively eyes made her little face look playful and cute, and her mouth looked soft. At this moment, she seemed to be afraid, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.
The little hands were holding the food box and turned slightly white, but there were many red and swollen chilblains on the hands, which made people feel distressed.
Jiang Wanyin found it interesting. This girl had her eyes on him, so why was she suddenly scared?
Zhi Nian felt that the burning gaze was always on her, and her long eyelashes trembled again.
An atmosphere spread between the two of them.
After Douya had prepared the lunch, she said respectfully, "Miss, you can have your lunch now."
Cuizhu brought the hand basin over, and Jiang Wanyin began to wash her hands elegantly in the basin, and then dried her hands with the towel beside her.
She sat down at the table, and Douya was about to leave with Zhinian.
The food box was put aside. Douya still had to go deliver lunch to the eldest young master, so she would be able to come over to collect it later.
Jiang Wanyin picked up the bowl and suddenly said, "Let Zhinian serve here. I'll ask Cuizhu to take the food box back for her later."
Douya didn't understand, but nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, she looked at Zhi Nian, asking him to be careful.
Zhi Nian gave her a reassuring look in return.
Jiang Wanyin saw that today's lunch was very light, but the taste was delicious, especially the lotus root soup which was simply amazing.
Jiang Wanyin couldn't help but drink one more bowl. She felt warm all over, and of course, her stomach was also bloated.
Jiang Wanyin was rarely seen to be full.
She stood up and sat on the chair next to her, drank a sip of tea and rinsed her mouth. Zhi Nian tactfully stepped forward to clean up the dishes.
Putting down the teacup, Jiang Wanyin said quietly, "The food recently has been unusually delicious, but was it you who cooked it?"
She was the only person in the room besides Cui Xin, and Zhi Nian knew that she was asking him.
She lowered her head and answered obediently, "My lady, these were all made by the Fat Chef. I just discussed with the Fat Chef these past two days, and the Fat Chef has many ideas of his own."
Jiang Wanyin nodded, and her impression of Zhi Nian improved a little.
Just as Jiang Wanyin was giving Zhi Nian extra points, the system's voice rang out in Zhi Nian's mind:
Current task target Jiang Wanyin
Current love value: 10%
Current host's health: -19%
Zhi Nian had already cleaned the table, and Cui Zhu also lit some incense to dissipate the smell.
Zhi Nian was about to leave with the food box, and seeing this, Cui Zhu also picked up the third food box.
Jiang Wanyin, who was watching from the side, suddenly curled her lips into a smile and said something to the person who was about to leave.
"Stay in Tingyuyuan from now on."
Zhi Nian and Cui Zhu looked back at the same time, one was happy and the other was surprised.
Zhi Nian's eyes were watery and narrowed, "Yes, Miss."
The two men carried the food boxes to the kitchen without speaking a word along the way.
Cuizhu was wondering, didn’t the young lady ask her to keep an eye on Zhinian?
Why did you suddenly let her stay in Tingyuyuan?
Is it because it is easier to get things done if you keep people under your nose?
Cuizhu felt that she had discovered the truth!
But from a certain perspective, it is indeed true!
Cuizhu asked Zhinian to pack up and she went back first. Zhinian would come to Tingyuyuan with his luggage later.
Zhi Nian first went to the kitchen to talk to everyone, and then went back to Douya's room to pack her pitiful luggage.
The fat chef still feels reluctant to let go of Zhi Nian, because Zhi Nian’s cooking skills are much better than his!
Another person who couldn't bear to part with Zhi Nian was Douya. Douya's tears were about to fall. She really liked Zhi Nian, this chubby sister.
Who knew it would be gone after just two days of playing?
Zhi Nian had no choice but to tell her that she would come over to play with her when she was free, and would help her peel garlic then.
Douya had no choice but to stop crying.
Zhi Nian came to Tingyu Courtyard with her package, and Cuizhu was waiting for her at the door.
She took Zhi Nian to a separate room and said, "You will live here from now on. The big maids share a room with two people. Cui Xin and I will live together. If there are other maids in the future, you will have company."
