Chapter 24: Tanuki for Prince

Zhao Li's face was not obvious, and he still bowed respectfully to Hong Wu with a smile.

"It's just a maid who smells of oily smoke, since Lord Hong wants to see it, it's her blessing, I'll call her over."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Bi Tao on the side, and turned to the disheveled Xiaolian beside Hong Wu and said.

"You go and call Cook Ma."

Hearing this, Bi Tao raised her head in disbelief, she opened her mouth and was just about to speak, when she met Zhao Li's eyes with hidden murderous intentions, and her hairs suddenly stood on end.

She had been by Zhao Li's side for so long, and she knew better than anyone how dangerous Zhao Li was under this look.

If she dared to say one more word, she dared to guarantee that this second young master would never let her see the sun tomorrow.

In the end, Bi Tao still chose to bite her lower lip tightly, lowered her head angrily, and did not make any sound.

Xiaolian was even more amnesty, holding back her tears, and ran out in a hurry without even tidying up her collar.

Liu Shayue looked up in the small kitchen and saw a figure rushing towards her like the wind.

Her heart sank, her fingers subconsciously clenched the kitchen knife, and she looked at the comer vigilantly.

As the people got closer, she was a little surprised.

"Xiaolian?"

When she saw the person who was coming, Liu Shayue hurriedly put down the kitchen knife, patted the vegetable leaves on her body and greeted her.

"Aren't you in the antechamber? How did you get here? ā€

When Xiaolian saw the familiar face of Liu Shayue, she suddenly threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly.

Liu Shayue noticed that her collar was scattered, and quickly pulled her into the small kitchen, patted her on the back and comforted her softly.

"What the hell is going on? Why is it so embarrassing? ā€

It's okay if she doesn't say it, when she asks, Xiaolian cries even louder.

"The nobles in the front and front halls want to see Chef Ma'......"

She didn't forget to tell her what she was here for.

This sentence without a beginning or end made Liu Shayue and the others even more confused.

Ma Huaihua hurriedly wiped her hand on the front of her clothes, walked over and asked.

"Huh? Do you want to see me? Why? ā€

"It's okay, don't worry, say slowly, what's wrong?"

Liu Shayue always felt that something was wrong, and she kept calming Xiaolian's emotions.

Finally, when Xiaolian gradually calmed down, she sniffed and quickly said everything that had just happened.

After listening to this, the whole small kitchen fell silent.

Only Grandma Sun reacted first because she had nothing to do with her, and with an oops, she began to shout.

"You girl, you were touched in front of so many people? So how can you get married in the future? Oh my God. ā€

The first reaction of a long-tongued woman like Grandma Sun is these filthy things.

Xiaolian, who had calmed down, began to cry again after hearing her grandmother's words.

Liu Shayue glared at her grandmother fiercely and scolded sharply.

"What nonsense! Shut up if you can't speak! ā€

The murderous grandmother-in-law shrunk her neck, and muttered a little unconvinced.

"It's supposed to be, don't let people say it, and I didn't touch it......"

Liu Shayue rolled her eyes, not bothering to care about her.

While patting Xiaolian's back, he turned his head and exchanged ideas with Ma Huaihua.

"If that's the case, Sha Yue, I really have to go to this front hall, I'm so old, and I'm married and have children, forgive him for not daring to do anything to me."

Ma Huaihua stood up with a sense of justice, she couldn't control others, but Liu Shayue, the girl, screamed one by one.

She still wants to protect Ichigo.

Liu Shayue looked at her with emotion, she had a basket of words of thanks to say, but she couldn't say them in her throat.

"Aunt Ma, thank you, if he makes any excessive demands, you will shirk it from me, and say that I will make more pastries, and I will go with him."

Liu Shayue expressed her attitude seriously, she was afraid that the so-called General Hong would not be a man, and she would have to take away the person who could make pastries.

Aunt Ma has a family, and she can't let her suffer for herself.

Ma Huaihua smiled softly when she heard Liu Shaoyue's words.

"I know, don't worry, just like me, the nobles will definitely not look down on me."

As she spoke, she deliberately rubbed more oil and flour on her body to make herself look more dirty.

Liu Shayue kept in mind that Ma Huaihua was good to her, and took advantage of Ma Huaihua's preparation.

Liu Shayue turned her head again and looked at Xiaolian who was still sobbing in front of her.

"Xiaolian, you just stay here and hide for a while, there are a lot of people in the front hall, even if you don't go back, no one will find out."

Ma Huaihua also helped on the side.

"Yes, I'll go by myself in a while, you can rest here for a while."

What Liu Shayue didn't expect was that Xiaolian, who had been crying, suddenly stopped her tears.

She lowered her eyes, folded her hands, and whispered.

"No, I'd better go back."

Liu Shayue thought at first that Xiaolian was worried that she would be punished for not going back to work.

She was still whispering comfort.

"It's okay, if you're afraid of punishment, I'll help you explain, just say that you're in a broken foot, and you can't continue to serve the nobles, I'll help you prove that you'll be fine."

Liu Shayue found a lot of reasons to persuade her, but Xiaolian just shook her head vigorously.

was really said to be in a hurry, and only left a sentence with a blushing face.

"I have to go back."

Liu Shayue didn't understand it at all, and poked her head out to continue to persuade.

Finally, Ma Chef Niang came over and pulled her hand, signaling her not to persuade her anymore.

Liu Shayue thought that Xiaolian was not bad to her, and she didn't want her to go back and continue to be humiliated, and she wanted to persuade her again.

And Xiaolian only lowered her head, bit her lip and stopped talking.

The grandmother on the side couldn't stand it anymore, picking her drooping eyelids, chewing peanuts, and sneering in a weird way.

"Poof, you willow girl, elm pimple, people want to be an aunt, how can you do if you don't go back? You're still stupid, aren't you, what are you trying to persuade you? ā€

Liu Shayue patted Xiaolian's hand on the back and asked in disbelief.

"Is that so?"

Xiaolian lowered her head deeper, and she could vaguely see the blush on her face.

She pinched the corner of her clothes and didn't argue anything, only turned her head a little uncomfortably and diverted the topic.

"I—I have to go back, and after waiting for a long time, the master will be angry."

As she spoke, she didn't wait for Chef Ma to follow, she rushed out first.

"Alas! Wait a minute. ā€

Chef Ma patted the flour on her hand and hurriedly followed.

Liu Shayue stood in place like a sculpture, staring at the default back of Xiaolian leaving, still feeling a little unbelievable and muttered to herself.

"Why? It wasn't she who said it just now, that person is older than her father, why does she still want to go back? ā€
