Xiao Ruyan held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand sympathetically and asked incomparably seriously, “How did you not go crazy until now?”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao borrowed the kitchen from Xiao Ruyan and made two boxes of flower pancakes and a basket of pig buns with Xing’er.
Her body was heavy but Xing’er was smart and had long learned culinary skills from her on the way to the Western Jin. It was no problem for her to graduate now.
The flower cake was for Xiao Ruyan and her mother-in-law, and the pig bun was for Nie Xiaozhu.
Nie Xiaozhu was picked up by his mother from the blanket early in the morning to practice martial arts. He was unwilling.
However, when he saw the cute little bun on the table, he immediately perked up.
“It’s a pig bun,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Nie Xiaozhu looked at the golden toad that he could not bear to let go even when he was sleeping, then at the pig bun in the steamer. His eyes widened. Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh. “I made it for you. Do you want to try it?” Nie Xiaozhu nodded.
He was finally willing to put the golden toad in his pocket. Xiao Ruyan did not even snatch it from him last night.
He took one in each hand and thanked her before running away.
He went to Grandma to show off his pig bun.
Xiao Ruyan yawned and watched as Nie Xiaozhu darted over with a whoosh, almost Imocking her over.
“Nie Xiaozhu! Why are you going again? Didn’t we agree to practice martial arts today! Do you want to be beaten up again?”
Nie Xiaozhu ran away.
One son was about to torture her to death. She really did not dare to imagine how Qin Su, who already had three sons, had the guts to get pregnant again.
Su Xiaoxiao gave the flower pancakes to Xiao Ruyan and begged her to apologize to her mother-in-law on her behalf.
“Aiya, I already said it wasn’t your fault…’
Xiao Ruyan took a bite of the flower pancake, and her eyes lit up. “Is this is made by you?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
“This is too delicious!”
Xiao Ruyan was in disbelief. “You guys still have this skill?”
Xing’er smiled and said, “My Miss’s culinary skills are better. I’ve only dabbled a little!”
“And this is only dabbling?
Xiao Ruyan seriously suspected that Xing’er was being modest.
Xing’er was definitely not being humble.
She had made delicious food, but she had only picked up 30% of Miss’s skills. If Madam Nie had tried Miss’s cooking, she would definitely look down on her.
“I’ll send it to my mother-in-law now!”
Xiao Ruyan brought a box of flower pancakes to her mother-in-law’s courtyard.
Her mother-in-law had long been disturbed by Nie Xiaozhu.
Seeing Xiao Ruyan come over, she said angrily, “It’s early in the morning. Can’t you let me have some peace?”
Xiao Ruyan smiled and placed the food box on the table. After opening it, she brought out a plate of flower pancakes. “Mother, try the pancakes made by Qin
Su and the others.”
Nie Xiaozhu had already finished eating two pig buns. He reached over to take the flowers pancakes, but his small hand was slapped off by Xiao Ruyan.
“Mother, eat first.” “I’m not hungry. Leave it there for now.” Nie Xiaozhu took two.
The corners of Xiao Ruyan’s mouth twitched.
Nie Xiaozhu handed one to Xiao Ruyan’s mother-in-law. “Grandma, eat.”
If Grandma did not eat it, his mother would not allow him to eat.
How scheming.
Nie Xiaozhu was his grandmother’s wealmess. Granny took it and took a bite expressionlessly.
Xiao Ruyan asked expectantly, “Mother, how does it taste?”
Granny said indifferently, “It’s better than your pancakes.”
It seemed that she liked it.
Xiao Ruyan held her mother-in-law’s arm. “Then let Qin Su stay at home for a while longer. We’ll get Xing’er to make pancakes for you every day and cook in different ways. At the same time, let Miss Cheng teach Nie Xiaozhu martial arts. I think Xiaozhu likes her quite a lot and always goes to look for her.”
Nie Xiaozhu trembled.
The flower pancake in his hand suddenly did not smell good!
Xiao Ruyan was originally not in a hurry to send the Phoenix Flower seeds to the Hundred Flowers Palace, but in order to find out the whereabouts of Qin Su’s sons as soon as possible, she still decided to make a trip to the Hundred Flowers Palace today.
“Pick the seeds in the morning and send them over in the afternoon…”
The business of the Hundred Flowers Palace couldn’t be ambiguous. She had to choose the seeds herself.
She had picked for half the night last night, but she had only picked a little. She probably wouldn’t be able to eat lunch.
She yawned again and came to the front yard.
“Madam.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled and greeted her.
“Xiaoxiao.” She walked over in a daze and glanced at the dustpan in Su
Xiaoxiao’s hand. “Eh? Aren’t these the seeds of the Phoenix Flower?”
“I’ve picked them for you. Check it.”
Su Xiaoxiao handed her the dustpan.
Xiao Ruyan was stunned. “I just put it there… and went to my mother-in-law’s place… Have you picked them?”
She took it and looked through it carefully.
Should she say it or not? It was cleaner than what she would have done!
Xiao Ruyan asked, “How did you do it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Use a sieve. Leave the big seeds behind and sieve the small seeds. ”
Xiao Ruyan felt like she had been struck by lightning!
“Why didn’t I think of such a simple method? Others get stupid for three years while I was stupid for five years…”
Xiao Ruyan was about to cry.
“I remember now. My mother-in-law has that kind of sieve in her room. She must have done the same. I’m the only stupid one… She still hasn’t told me…
Look at me!”
She wanted to find something for her to do to pass the time.
Xiao Ruyan calmed her injured heart. “Forget it, let’s go.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely.
Xiao Ruyan said, “Hundred Flowers Palace, aren’t you going?
“Can I go too?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Xiao Ruyan looked at her bulging stomach. ‘You can’t go in. After all, you’re pregnant. You can’t dress up as a maidservant. But you can wait for me in the carriage. If there’s news of your son, I’ll come out immediately to inform you.” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. “In that case, I’m very grateful!”
Xiao Ruyan paused. “Let me say it first. I’m only asking around. If your sons are really in the Hundred Flowers Palace, I might not be able to bring them out.”
The Hundred Flowers Palace was too powerful. Other than large sects like the Assassin Alliance and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, very few people dared to form enmity with them.
Su Xiaoxiao said sincerely, “It’s enough to find out.”
Xiao Ruyan looked at Xing’er, who was drying her clothes, and said, “Xing’er can follow me in. Just say that she’s my new maidservant.” This method was feasible.
As for the Saintess, Su Xiaoxiao decided not to bring her.
There were too many experts in the Hundred Flowers Palace, and someone had already noticed her yesterday.
If even her mother-in-law could discover that the Saintess was a puppet, the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace might notice.
Moreover, Ling Yun’s puppet technique might have been inherited from the Hundred Flowers Palace.
It was better for the Saintess not to approach the Hundred Flowers Palace for the time being.
The three of them got into the carriage and brought a jar of Phoenix Flower seeds to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The carriage stopped in the pergola outside the palace.
Xiao Ruyan brought Xing’er out of the carriage and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “It’s very safe here. Don’t worry and wait for me in the carriage.”
There were disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace guarding the entrance, and they wouldn’t allow anyone to cause trouble here.
“Okay,” Su Xiaoxiao agreed.
Looking at the two of them go in, she began to feel nervous.
“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, are you guys inside?”
“Mother is outside.”
“Mother misses you..”
