A family with three widows, after severing ties with relatives, she became wealthy and married into

Chapter 211 We should eat together

Tian Tian then thought of Ling Yao's actions in the dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city.

When Tian Zhigao swung his stick down, he actually shielded her, using his back to catch the stick!

That scene was deeply etched in her heart, and the thought of it made her feel flustered and disoriented.

Tian Tian reached out and scooped up some water, splashing it on her face.

But the more she tried to clear her head, the more difficult it became for her to sort out her thoughts.

She always remembered Ling Yao's smile.

I'm so confused...

Her hands unconsciously gripped the edge of the bathtub, and a blush quietly appeared on her face.

My heart is racing...

Finally, she took a deep breath and submerged her face directly in the water.

Gradually, her emotions calmed down.

Why think so much? He's leaving next year.

Given his status, how could there be such a possibility between them?

Thinking of this, Tian Tian raised her head from the water, a smile playing on her lips, a sense of relief on her face.

She cleaned herself up, changed into clean clothes, and when she came out of the inner room, only Tian Xiang was waiting for her.

"I advised them to go back and rest." Tian Xiang poured her a cup of tea.

Tian Tian took it, drank a sip, and said, "Big sister, you should go back and rest first."

Tian Xiang nodded slightly in agreement, but then asked, "Sweetie, did Lord Li say...you are guilty?"

Tian Tian shook her head. Although Li Huaiyuan had her locked up in jail, he did not say that she was guilty.

Moreover, he didn't mention it in prison just now, only telling her to take care of Ling Yao.

“Sweetie, Ling Yao is a man. Why would Lord Li ask you to take care of him? This... is not very convenient.”

"What does he mean?"

Tian Tian sighed, "Young Master Ling can't speak because Tian Zhigao hit him on the back of the head."

Tian Xiang was stunned; it was that serious.

"It was due to poor planning that this outcome occurred."

"Lord Li is furious and wants to punish me," Tian Tian said.

If the Crown Prince gets into trouble in Baishi County, it won't matter even if Li Huaiyuan is the Crown Prince's cousin.

No one can escape something this big.

She was no exception.

Tian Xiang held Tian Tian's hand, "Tian Tian, ​​I will tell Mother and Aunt Liu to keep this a secret."

"As for you, don't get too close to Young Master Ling."

“You are still young. The Cheng family’s matter doesn’t count. You still have to get married.”

Tian Xiang's idea was very simple.

She did marry into the Chu family, and that was a real thing; she even had two children.

Therefore, she had no intention of remarrying; she only wanted to raise Chu Qian and Chu Yao.

But Tian Tian was different; she had just reached marriageable age.

If word gets out that she's taking care of Young Master Ling personally, how will she ever get married?

After giving these instructions, Tian Xiang stood up. "Then you should get some rest. My older sister is going back now."

Compared to the prison cell, her own bed was much more comfortable, and Tian Tian slept straight through until the afternoon of the next day.

She went to Baishi Teahouse, picked up some ingredients, and then went to the county government office.

Since we're going to take care of Ling Yao, we definitely have to prepare three meals a day for him.

He was injured, so she prepared fresh vegetables and fish and shrimp for him.

The fresh vegetables are the first batch grown in the greenhouse, including spinach, leeks, bok choy, and cherry radishes.

These vegetables have a short growing season.

Stir-fried spinach, stir-fried eggs with chives, tofu and crucian carp soup, boiled shrimp, and stir-fried greens with mushrooms.

"You still have these dishes now?" Wei Shaoyuan was extremely curious when he saw them.

Even in the capital, during winter, people could only eat cabbage and radishes.

But there was something on the table...

Spinach, leek sprouts, and bok choy.

Li Yi couldn't help but lick his lips when he saw the crucian carp soup, which was as white and thick as milk.

I really want to drink it...

Tian Tian knew Li Yi was there, so she took a few more small bowls.

After serving Ling Yao the fish soup, he served Li Yi a bowl.

As for Wei Shaoyuan, she couldn't be bothered with him.

Li Yi blew on the crucian carp soup to cool it down, tilted his head back and took a sip, "What a delicious soup!"

"Drink as much as you like, anyway, Young Master Ling can't drink that much." Tian Tian had already let go of the past night, so she was very relaxed in front of Ling Yao.

“Right?” She looked at Ling Yao.

Ling Yao nodded, took a sip of fish soup, and let out a long, satisfying sigh.

Wei Shaoyuan swallowed, but...

Seeing that Ling Yao had finished the small bowl of fish soup, he stepped forward obsequiously, "Young Master, let me have some."

He ladled soup for Ling Yao, added some tender tofu, and then some fish meat from the belly of the fish. "Young Master, please."

Then, he picked up a clean little bowl and filled it for himself.

He took a sip, his eyes widening. It tasted so good!

It turns out that the young master and Li Yi weren't exaggerating. This fish soup... is even better than the imperial cuisine in the palace.

After finishing his bowl of soup, Wei Shaoyuan didn't rush to serve himself. Instead, he served Li Yi his soup first, and then served himself...

Tian Tian rolled her eyes helplessly. This is just...you get a bowl, I get a bowl, he gets a bowl, I get a bowl...

In the end, he drank the most.

Well, not only did he drink the most, but he also ate the most fish.

Ling Yao and Li Yi shared the belly meat of the fish, while Wei Shaoyuan ate the rest of the fish meat, including the head.

He laughed heartily, "It would be a waste not to eat it, so I'll clean up the mess."

"I'll make you corn and pork rib soup tomorrow," Tian Tian said to Ling Yao, and then reminded Li Yi, "If the young master likes it, he can come and eat with us."

Li Yi was naturally pleased. "Okay, thank you, Sister Tian Er."

Over there, Li Huaiyuan and his wife were looking at the pickled vegetables on the table.

"I heard from the kitchen that Miss Tian Er made several dishes for Heming, including a tofu and crucian carp soup, which was so creamy and fragrant..." Madam Li picked up her chopsticks but didn't want to move.

"Lord Wei and our Yi'er drank several bowls of wine there..."

Madam Li glanced at Li Huaiyuan, "Actually...everyone is at the county government office, so we should eat together."

"Splitting them into two sides would be too estranged."

Li Huaiyuan was utterly helpless, "Wei Yue..."

This scheme... it's a direct hit to his face.

Mrs. Li smiled awkwardly and put down her chopsticks. "Fish soup is better than these pickled vegetables, isn't it?"

Since there were no fresh vegetables available in winter, she pickled some vegetables a few months in advance.

But now, there are fresh vegetables next door, so why do we still need to eat pickled vegetables?

"Huaiyuan, why did you ask Miss Tian Er to take care of Heming?" Madam Li stopped joking and got back to the point.

He picked up his chopsticks again and put some pickled vegetables in his bowl.

Although pickled vegetables are not as good as fresh vegetables, the ones I pickle myself are more to my liking.

Li Huaiyuan clicked his tongue helplessly, "That kid Heming... he's probably got his eye on Tian Er."

Madam Li glanced at him, "Tian Er...Auntie!"

She emphasized the word "Miss," saying, "Heming has taken a liking to Miss Tian, ​​is that Miss Tian's fault?"

Why did you change your address and start calling him Tian Er?

"I don't think Miss Tian Er is necessarily interested in Heming."
