Xiaoxiao put down the cutlery. “There’s no need for this. I’ll cook as I please from time to time. These are all made based on my mood and are not conventional, so they’re not suitable to be sold in that shop.”

The guests there were all noble ladies. If they wanted to eat it one day and found out that they didn’t have it, they might throw a huge tantrum.

Seeing Shen Tianci’s disappointed expression, Xiaoxiao found it funny. “You can’t go to Mrs. Shen’s shop often, but I’m outside the academy now. Isn’t it more convenient for you to come?”

Shen Tianci was happy again. Halfway through his happiness, he suddenly froze. He turned around awkwardly and chuckled. “About this academy…” Xiaoxiao was all ears, but Shen Tianci was quite embarrassed.

Li Muyan seemed to be at odds with him by nature and exposed him. “Why can’t you say it? It’s just that you couldn’t get in, so you used Uncle’s recommendation to enter the academy.”

Shen Tianci blushed. “None of your business!” Then, he looked at Xiaoxiao nervously.

He was so afraid that Ning Xiaoxiao would look at him strangely. Would she look down on him? Or would she look down on him for getting in through the back door? Brother Ning and Zhao Yan relied on their own abilities to take the exam, but he relied on the recommendation letter. How embarrassing! He had been too ashamed to appear in front of them for the past few days.

However, Xiaoxiao only took a bite of her snack and said, “Mm-hm, then you’ll be studying with my brother and Little Big Brother Ah Yan in the future?” Shen Tianci was surprised. “That’s it? Don’t you have anything else to tell me?” Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, “Congratulations?” That was not right. Shen Tianci downed his tea to moisten his throat.

“Shouldn’t you put your hands on your hips and mock me for not being capable and relying on my Dad?”

Xiaoxiao asked sincerely, “Isn’t your father also one of your abilities? Only a fool wouldn’t take an easier path. Do I look like such a muddle-headed person?”

Hey, hey, hey. This was really the most pleasing thing he had heard in the past few days!

Shen Tianci gritted his teeth. Only then was he in the mood to try this purple snack. It was amazing when he took a bite. Was this another cloud?

Xiaoxiao refilled his cup of tea. “Taro Cake Roll. That layer of taro paste is processed from taro. It’s delicious, right?”

Taro? How could that thing be eaten like this? It was similar to Ning Xiaoxiao’s cream!

Shen Tianci ate with a satisfied expression and even forgot to quarrel with Li Muyan. The latter, on the other hand, tasted the Taro Cake Roll in his mouth and disliked He Ruhuan even more.

If it weren’t for that self-righteous cousin, how could he have missed a talent like Ning Xiaoxiao?

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Gongsun Zhongjing took his share without a word. He cut off the part that he had bitten and took a bite before Li Muyan could react. Li Muyan was speechless.

He gritted his teeth. “Didn’t you say that you had no appetite when you woke up this morning?”

Gongsun Zhongjing sipped his tea freely. Looking at his expression, it was as if he was looking at a retard. “Your food tastes bad.”

He pointed at Xiaoxiao. “It’s far inferior to hers.”

Xiaoxiao gladly accepted this straightforward praise and labeled this young doctor as a “honest person” in her heart.

Shen Tianci, who was unwilling to let Li Muyan have the chance to talk to Xiaoxiao more, pulled Xiaoxiao aside. “Do you know what happened to your

Second Uncle?”

Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes. “I don’t know.”

Shen Tianci said exaggeratedly, “You’re really the most carefree person I’ve ever met. Aren’t you curious at all?”

Xiaoxiao was more concerned about seedlings, which were given to her by the space. “I’m preparing to get my brother to ask the government office after the exam.”

Shen Tianci patted his chest. “Then you don’t have to go. I’ll tell you.”

It was related to other people’s family matters, so it was not good for Li Muyan to stay. However, he would not eat and drink for free. Hence, he invited Xiaoxiao and her family to the Fragrance Restaurant for lunch. Xiaoxiao readily agreed. Big Brother and Little Big Brother’s exams should end in half a day. Originally, they were prepared to find a restaurant to have a good meal to celebrate their admission.

As for not getting in? Hehe, how was that possible?

They actually wanted to talk about Second Uncle, so Xiaoxiao called Madam

Song over to listen.

It was said that when they first entered the prison, the three jackals were quite honest. Later on, for some reason, they fought. In the end, Buttface even went crazy and fought with the other two desperadoes in the prison. How could he be their match with his small body? In less than a night, not only him, but even Second Uncle Ning and that swindler were beaten up until they couldn’t take care of themselves.

Among the three of them, Buttface was definitely not the one who committed the biggest crime. Moreover, his family could not bear to pursue the matter at all. In addition, his brother’s injuries were not serious, so they just treated it as if the brothers’ fight had been left unsettled. The only thing he had to take responsibility for was the crime of theft, but Xiaoxiao also promised not to pursue it. Hence, he only needed to stay in the prison for a few nights and be beaten a few times to make him remember before he could go home.

To be honest, he had long known about this process. He did not panic at all and even felt that he had earned a ginseng for nothing. He was very happy.

He did not know that on the first night, he had suffered a double loss. The expensive ginseng was ruined, and he was also covered in injuries. When his family picked him up, he almost cried outside the county office. He might as well go to jail and be beaten!

That swindler was guilty of fraud and an attempted crime. According to the laws of Great Xia, as long as he paid enough fines, it was not difficult for him to leave. He used to be an actor. It was fine for him to put on airs, but if he really fought with someone, he would only be beaten up. His face, which he was most proud of, was beaten up badly and he even lost a few teeth. It was said that a woman originally wanted to redeem him after receiving his letter. However, when she saw his face, she covered her face with a handkerchief and left.

As for Second Uncle Ning, County Magistrate Shen understood that the Ning Family was focused on Ning Ansheng’s exams and put his matter aside. He hurt someone first and cheated later. He was also involved in stealing. It was not a small matter to punish him for three crimes at the same time.

However, he was still locked up and had yet to be interrogated. He had already been beaten beyond recognition and could not sleep in panic every night. In just a few days, he was so ragged and dispirited that he could ask for money on the streets.

After Buttface was taken away, in order to reduce his crime, the county magistrate didn’t ask anything. He called the prison guards and said that he had confessed everything. That night, he signed a paper. He also emphasized that everything was Second Uncle Ning’s idea. He was just tempted and went astray.

The swindler also left the cell, leaving Second Uncle Ning and the two desperadoes. Second Uncle Ning could not eat his fill or wear warm clothes, and the steamed buns provided by the prison were even snatched away. One could imagine the pressure.

Shen Tianci clapped his hands and smiled innocently. “From the looks of it, the county office hasn’t done anything yet, but the matter is half resolved. Knowing that it was County Magistrate Shen who put these people together, Xiaoxiao smiled meaningfully. “Your father will definitely be a good official with a bright future..”
