Chapter 293 Heart to Heart
The lights are coming on.
In the living room in the backyard of the Sun Mansion, twelve candlesticks were lit again.
Seeing the various delicacies spread out densely on the round table, Jia Yingchun moved slightly uncomfortably and said to the kitchen helper who was still serving the dishes, "This is too much. There are only three people in my courtyard. How can we eat so much?"
"Madam, just pick up the delicious ones with your chopsticks."
The old woman smiled and said, "The master told us when he left at noon that the mistress had caught a cold on the day she returned home, and asked the kitchen to make more nourishing food. We dare not disobey the master's wishes."
When she heard that it was Sun Shaozu's idea, Yingchun dared not say anything anymore. She silently waited for the two maids to put down the last thick soup and then leave in an orderly manner. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
“Ah~!”
Xiu Ju lifted the curtain and came forward in a slightly strange posture. Looking at the table full of hot dishes, she said happily, "This meal is so sumptuous today. I'm afraid it's not much different from the New Year celebrations in Rongguo Mansion before!"
Siqi cleaned the ivory chopsticks that the maid had brought her again, and then placed them in front of Jia Yingchun, commenting, "In terms of cooking skills, they are still not as good as those in Rongguo Mansion, but the chefs in our mansion are more willing to use the ingredients - if these good things had passed through the hands of that wicked woman from the Liu family, I'm afraid she would have kept most of them for her own use!"
The one from the Liu family was the housekeeper of the small kitchen in the Rongguo Mansion. She was usually the best at judging people by their appearance and treating them well. For someone like Baoyu, she would try her best to please him and take care of him. But for someone like Jia Yingchun, who was not loved by her grandmother and uncle, she would do everything she could to deduct money from him.
Therefore, Siqi hated her the most and had long been eager to fight her to the death.
As for now...
It’s a pity that the Liu family didn’t bring any dowry!
Siqi thought of the Liu family and couldn't help but feel angry for a while. When she came to her senses, she saw Yingchun still staring at the table full of delicious food.
So he forced the chopsticks into her hand and urged her, "Eat quickly. If Madam can have a son, what will these things mean to you? Even if you want mountains of gold and silver, Master will give them to you!"
When she mentioned Yisuo De Nan, Jia Yingchun remembered the pillow incident in the morning and her face flushed again. She lowered her head and picked up a few bites with her chopsticks without tasting the food. Then she said, "You two should sit down and eat together."
Although there was only a difference of a few chopsticks, it also showed the huge difference between master and servant.
Siqi didn't say anything, but Xiu Ju had been waiting for this. She hurriedly asked for chopsticks and started to eat with relish.
All three of them came from wealthy families, so naturally they followed the standard of not talking while eating or sleeping.
They ate in silence for about two quarters of an hour. Seeing that Siqi and Xiu Ju were full, Jia Yingchun put the chopsticks she had been holding on the table.
The two maids immediately stood up, one quickly cleaned up the dishes, and the other prepared to go outside the door and called the maid to come in to clean up the mess.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the hand touched the curtain, the curtain was lifted up by someone, and then a burly figure flashed in.
"Second Master?"
Siqi shouted in surprise, but it turned out that the person who made the quiet voice was not someone else, but Sun Shaozong.
Jia Yingchun's face suddenly turned red, and she stood up at a loss. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth. In the end, she had to bury her head in her chest again.
Xiu Ju was extremely delighted to see Sun Shao Zong. She came up to him and bowed, saying, "Second Master, why are you here at this time? Did no one see you?"
"Don't worry, I climbed over the wall to get in."
Sun Shaozong responded, and when he saw that the dishes and chopsticks had been put away, he looked at Siqi at the door and suddenly realized, "Are you going to call the maid to come in and clear the table? Then let's go in and talk."
As he spoke, he naturally walked to Jia Yingchun and spread his rough big hands in front of her.
Yingchun bit her lips and hesitated for a while, but finally put Rouyi on it tremblingly.
Sun Shaozong then pulled her and pushed the door open into the inner room.
Xiu Ju was feeling a little disappointed, but then she heard Sun Shao Zong call out to her without even turning his head: "Xiu Ju, come in too."
“Hey~!”
Xiu Ju agreed with a smile on her face, and regardless of her physical discomfort, she ran in like a flash.
Seeing that she was the only one left, Siqi had no choice but to go out for takeout and call the night maids to come in and give them the leftovers as a midnight snack.
It took about a quarter of an hour of busy work inside and outside to finally clean up the mess.
Siqi listened for a moment and saw that the room was quiet and didn't seem to be going on with anything embarrassing, so she went forward and knocked on the door gently: "Madam, everything outside has been cleaned up."
Before he could finish his words , the door was opened by Xiu Ju from the inside.
Siqi walked in subconsciously, only to see Sun Shaozong sitting in front of the dressing table with his horse and sword, holding Jia Yingchun on his lap and whispering something to her.
When Yingchun saw Siqi coming in, she lowered her head shyly, but had no intention of getting up from Sun Shaozong's arms - compared with her usual shy behavior, this was extremely bold.
It seems that she not only gave up her body yesterday, but also her heart.
Siqi pretended not to see it and asked expressionlessly, "Second Master, are you still staying here tonight?"
"That's natural."
Sun Shaozong nodded without hesitation and said, "There are some official documents stored in the study recently, so no one is allowed to approach at will. In addition, I have locked the door - as long as I get back before dawn, I won't be afraid of being discovered."
Siqi didn't mind hearing this, but Yingchun seemed a little embarrassed. After a little hesitation, she leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear with a red face.
Sun Shaozong laughed a few times when he heard this, reached out and touched her nose, and said softly: "Don't worry, I came here today just to talk to you, I have no other intentions."
As he said this, he whispered a few words to her.
Faintly hearing words like 'heart to heart' and 'not physical', she saw Jia Yingchun's pair of star-like eyes filled with emotion and spring love.
It seems that the second girl is completely trapped.
Siqi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but this was normal. Jia Yingchun was a person who was easily satisfied, and she was in a panic at the time. She met a considerate man, so she naturally fell without any resistance.
Just thinking about the awkward relationship between the two of them, Siqi didn't know whether she should be happy for her or sad for her.
Forget it, let’s just live with it for now!
Thinking of this, Siqi quietly retreated again. Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Xiu Ju's sweet and innocent voice from inside: "If the Second Master is interested, I can still bear it."
This ignorant thief!
Siqi hurried back in and dragged her out.
