C80 080 Missing a Mistress

With Xiao Linmu's help, Xia Yi naturally did not delay the delivery of goods to the Boss Yin.

However, it still took some time for him to finish moving the milk, as well as to settle the bill with the points.

When Xia Yi came out of the Yipin Shop, she realized that Xiao Linmu's carriage was still waiting at the door.

"Sir Mu Lin doesn't need to wait here specially, I will definitely do what I promised you. It's just that it's getting late now, I have to go back quickly."

After Xia Yi finished speaking, she took two steps to the side, preparing to bypass Xiao Linmu and leave.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Linmu also took two steps to the side, and blocked in front of Xia Yi.

Xia Yi frowned, and raised her head, "I wonder what other business does Sir Mu Lin have?"

Xiao Linmu crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his eyes stayed on Xia Yi's face for a while before he slowly opened his mouth: "Do you know that the city gate is already closed?"

Xia Yi was at a loss for words. She indeed had no idea about the time the city gate closed.

After living in the village for so long, Xia Yi did not come to the capital for too many times.

"Let's go, I'm hungry too. I want a bowl of scallion noodles."

Xiao Linmu had already ordered, so it was hard for him to say anything more.

The horse carriage left the Zhuque Street and turned into Xian Street. Not long after, it stopped at a courtyard.

"Is this your home?" If that was really the case, then wouldn't Xiao Linmu's residence be too close to the Juxue Academy?

Thinking back to that day when she took the letter from the Yueyang Academy Principal to register for Xia Yue, she had actually passed by this place before.

If I remember correctly, Juxue Academy should be just three or four manors further ahead.

"Yes, my courtyard." Xiao Linmu replied.

If he carefully calculated it, it was indeed not a home. This was only one of his many residences.

When Xia Yi came over, she couldn't just bring Xia Yi back to the Prince Mu Palace, so she had to come here first.

Coincidentally, when he was arranging Juxue Academy for Xia Yue, he thought that he still had a courtyard to live in, so he ordered people to clean up.

This also allowed Xia Yi to be able to use quilts while living here.

The kitchen was empty, there were only a few big pots, and even the firewood and the rice flour and salt were sent over by Xia Yi after she entered the kitchen.

Thinking about how Xiao Linmu had lived on the mountain for two years and only had a few men living in the courtyard, Xia Yi did not find it strange.

Mix dough, knead dough, fry onion oil...

Once she entered the kitchen, Xia Yi felt as if she had returned home. Not long after, a few bowls of scallion noodles were ready and placed neatly on the stove.

When Xia Yi went out of the door, she saw that Wei Chu was still standing at the door. From the moment she had entered the kitchen until now, his actions had not changed at all.

"You can eat now." Xia Yi called out to Wei Chu's back.

"Alright, I'll carry it over to Young Master now." Wei Chu quickly entered the room and saw that every bowl was filled to the brim with noodles and every bowl was exactly the same. He paused for a moment, and turned his head to look at Xia Yi with suspicion.

Wei Chu's face was covered up completely, and there was only a small gap left between his eyes. Even though Xia Yi was unable to see the expression under the veil, she could roughly guess what it was like from Wei Chu's eyes.

Xia Yi walked over and said: "Call the others over to eat. I'll bring Mu Lin's noodles over to him."

"This... Is it really for us to eat? " Wei Chu's eyes flickered as he asked.

After getting used to Leng Qianjue and his interaction, Xia Yi was still not used to Wei Chu and Xiao Linmu's interaction.

Although Leng Qianjue had respect for him, it was within the normal range.

Wei Chu's expression was indeed respectful and fearful, and he also had an obvious sense of inferiority. For example, he always walked behind Xiao Linmu, and didn't dare to take a step further …

And it was also like now, he never would have thought that Xia Yi had also cooked for them, moreover, it was exactly the same as Xiao Linmu.

Xia Yi sighed and said: "Of course it's for you to eat, if not why would I cook so much."

Saying that, Xia Yi took a pair of chopsticks and gave it to her, "Hurry and eat it, the dough won't taste good anymore."

Wei Chu pulled up the bandana covering his face again, and hesitated as he did not dare to take the chopsticks from Xia Yi.

Xia Yi then directly shoved the chopsticks into Wei Chu's hands, picked up two more chopsticks, and took the opportunity to pick up two bowls of noodles before turning and leaving.

After walking for a bit, he turned his head to see that Wei Chu was still standing there, staring at the noodle on the stove.

"Don't forget to call the others."

On the way, Xia Yi carried the bowl to find Xiao Linmu, and met no one else.

Spring should have been full of vitality, but this courtyard gave off a desolate and dilapidated feeling. There were no flowers, plants or trees in the courtyard, and when a gust of wind blew, Xia Yi felt gloomy and cold.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace.

It was only when she saw Xiao Linmu that she felt this feeling lessen a bit.

Placing the bowl in front of Xiao Linmu, Xia Yi couldn't help but say: "Why do you feel so cold in this courtyard, it lacks some life force."

Xiao Linmu's noodles had almost reached his mouth. After hearing Xia Yi's words, he stopped and thought for a moment: I do lack some life force, maybe the other mistresses would be better.

The corner of his lips hooked up into a faint smile. Xia Yi was a little absent-minded when she saw this, but when she heard Xiao Linmu talking about his mistress, for some reason, Xia Yi felt a little irritated.

Xia Yi no longer cared about Xiao Linmu's words of "mistress", and lowered her head to eat her own noodles.

Xiao Linmu had already said that he was hungry, but at the moment, he was no longer in a hurry to eat the noodles, and was looking at Xia Yi with great interest.

Even Xia Yi didn't know why she was suddenly so down, but Xiao Linmu had guessed it. Did this girl think that she already had a choice for the mistress?

Thinking about this, Xiao Linmu faintly said: "I can't rush Mistress, after all, it will take a few more days for her to understand my feelings. It would be better to plant some flowers first, so that it can come faster, wouldn't you say? "

"What does this have to do with me …" Xia Yi did not even raise her head.

"Who said just now that my courtyard wasn't angry?"

Being choked by Xiao Linmu's words, only then did Xia Yi say: "You've come a little faster."

"Then what kind of flowers and plants would you like to plant?" Xiao Linmu asked.

Xia Yi felt that the Xiao Linmu of today, was exceptionally talkative.

Afraid that Xiao Linmu would continue asking questions endlessly, Xia Yi casually said: "My uncle is a gardener, I'll tell you after I ask. Eat quickly, it's time for the noodles."

Xiao Linmu no longer asked.
