Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home - Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116: Uncomfortable

Editor: Henyee Translations

Unexpectedly, the Young Master came the following morning.

Apart from Uncle Jiang, Tuan, and a few guards, there was also a nanny and a maidservant. They got off the wagon and introduced themselves as Auntie Zhu and Xiaoshui.

The young heir was delighted to see Qiao Xuan. He greeted her with a smile and ran towards her, calling her sister.

Auntie Zhu and the others greeted them and went into the yard.

There were so many people that the patio was filled with more than ten people.

Auntie Zhu drove out the guards, except for Uncle Jiang and the small group, who offered the presents from the Princess Consort of the Prefecture Lord. She smiled. “Our Young Master has been trying to find Madame Shao, and the Princess Consort of the Prefecture Lord can’t stop him, so I drove him here, hoping that Madame Shao would not be disturbed.”

Qiao Xuan thanked her and gave the gift to Lixia, saying with a smile, “Thank you, Auntie Zhu, but Lord Heir-Son is so innocent and better than many people in the world. I am so glad that he remembers me. Why would I be bothered?”

Auntie Zhu smiled brightly and nodded with a smile. “That is great, Madame Shao. Just treat the young heir as you do to others, don’t worry.”

Auntie Zhu could tell if they were sincere or fake. But her son was too pitiful to be played by others. Even if they looked down on him and laughed at him, as long as he was happy, they would pretend not to notice anything. They could not just put him in a group of four or five-year-old children. That would be humiliating for him.

But still, they felt uncomfortable.

Auntie Zhu could tell that Qiao Xuan was not looking down on that boy. In her eyes, the little boy was normal, and that was more precious than anything else.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan’s home was not very big, and the young master seemed to have never been to such a small yard before, so he was very curious.

Qiao Xuan was stuck in a dilemma – she did not know what to play with him. So after a while in the yard, she decided to make some delicious food for him so he could help.

Children always liked to help. The young heir seemed to have received some very important mission. He was so excited and kept nodding to show that he was going to help. He was so careful that people could not help but laugh.

Qiao Xuan got some cassava powder, steamed pumpkins and taros, cooked some red beans, prepared raisins, crushed walnuts, and almonds, and asked Lixia and Liqiu to help too. Soon, they started to get busy.

Their kitchen was not very big, so Auntie Zhu asked Liqiu to take care of the young master when she saw Qiao Xuan. After making sure that the young master would not get injured, she went into the hall with the others to take a break.

The Young Master was a very playful child.

The only requirement for the Prince and the Princess Consort of the Prefecture Lord was that the Young Master should be happy. As long as he did not do anything against the law and morality, everything else should be treated nonchalantly and casually.

They turned a blind eye.

After a while, the food was cooked and served while still warm. The round taro balls were very cute. They were filled with sweet glutinous rice and soft red beans, along with sweet raisins, crispy and delicious crushed walnuts, crushed almonds, and drizzled with honey, sprinkled with dried sweet osmanthus. The dish looked bright in color, had rich ingredients, and the sweet taste was very tempting. It was especially appetizing at a glance.

Auntie Zhu had never seen it before, but it seemed to be a dessert. She thought that it might be some local snack from Qiao Xuan’s hometown, so she accepted it with a smile.
