Xu Mingwei smiled back at her, she did not intend to help her resolve her doubts at all. She only turned her head and asked Peaches, "Did the big kitchen cook your food on time these few days?"

She nodded her head in embarrassment as she saw Xu Mingmei, and said, "Thank you, Miss. This servant has been eating well at home these few days, and Sister Xiao Ru and the others have also been taking care of me. They had long prepared food for me."

In his eyes, it was obvious that he was still greedy. Xu Mingwei did not say it out loud, and said: "Who cares what the big kitchen is giving you, just continue eating, I gave you the silver."

Fortunately, she was not so slow. Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she looked towards Xu Mingwei, begging for help. The Xu family did not have a reason for their master to apologize to a servant, but Peaches was not her little girl after all. Seventh Sister had kindly pulled her out to relax, but he himself foolishly stabbed her in her heart.

Xu Mingwei comforted her and patted her hand, saying, "It's not good to just eat nothing. Sixth Sister is going to eat dinner at moon-nesting today anyway, so I might as well make sure the three dishes and the soup are done."

Without waiting for Xu Mingmei to react, Xu Mingwei called for a nearby woman, and ordered her to run to the big kitchen and tell him all the dishes she wanted, before smiling and asking for silver from Xu Mingmei.

Xu Mingmei was naturally willing, she immediately untied her bag and handed over a silver coin. She also gave half a silver coin to the old woman to pay as a errand boy, making her happily accept the money, making her happy before leaving.

After coaxing Bi Tao, Xu Mingwei reckoned that there would be food in her courtyard, so she pulled Xu Mingmei and walked back.

When he arrived at moon-nesting, the big kitchen had already sent him the food. Wan Feng knew what the little mistress was thinking, without waiting for Xu Mingmei's orders, she had already ordered the big kitchen to prepare more dishes, afraid that the food would turn cold. She and Wan Rong was in the middle of discussing whether or not to go out and look for Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingmei, when they suddenly saw two people holding hands coming back.

Seeing that Xu Mingmei had a smile on her face, Wan Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When the young lady ran out from Second Wife's room without a care for anything else, it was so easy for her to find her. Fortunately, she came to moon-nesting later on to look around, and sure enough, she came to seven girls's side.

Xu Mingmei was not surprised to see Wan Feng. In the entire house, only the little girl was most anxious to take care of him, and she was even more considerate than the Lady Ji. She immediately smiled up at her and called out, "Sister Wan Feng, you can go eat with Sister Wan Rong and the others. Seventh Sister and I can have a chat in peace."

Wan Feng nodded in agreement.

Wan Rou then helped the two ladies eat half of their dishes. Xu Mingwei did not have the habit of letting the people in the room eat the leftovers. Every time, when the food was served, she would directly ask Wan Rou to mix all the vegetables, leaving some for her to eat.

Wan Feng had come here a few times with Xu Mingmei, and she knew about her habit. Seeing that Wan Rou was busy, she went forward to help him take the plate, and in just a moment, she had distributed all ten dishes on the table.

Just as he finished, the food was delivered to him from the kitchen. Xu Mingmei was still thinking about the little girl in his room, she was not eating in his courtyard, and the little girl did not have master's leftovers. She got the people in the big kitchen to send the boxes of food back to his second room, the Drunken Star Residence.

That little girl was also clever. Even after a wasted trip, she didn't complain. The matter of the peaches that Xu Mingmei had experienced had made him show more compassion to the servant, allowing Wan Feng to take out a few large coins to reward the little girl. The little girl happily left after receiving the reward. After exiting the yard, she fished out the big money and looked at it again before carefully putting it into her faded purse. It was fortunate that Big Sister Green didn't want to go far. She had pushed him up here to deliver the food. Otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to take the bounty.

After Xu Mingmei ate lunch in Xu Mingwei's courtyard, she walked around the courtyard for a while to digest the food. The two of them were a little tired and impatiently went back to the room, hugging each other as they slept on the soft couch under the flower racks.

When Wan Feng and Wan Rong came out to look for them, they finally found the two little girls sleeping by their shoulders under the crystal display shelves. Amidst the soft fragrance, the two jade dolls were covered with pink flower petals, following their breathing, they slightly trembled, and for a moment, it was hard to tell if it was those flower petals or the two girls who were more beautiful.

Wan Feng and Wan Rong looked at each other. Seeing that the two of them were sleeping soundly, they could not bear to wake up the two sisters.

Wan Rong whispered a few words of advice to Wan Feng, making her stay where she was and look at Xu Mingmei. Although there were no outsiders in the Xu family's inner courtyard, it was no longer the same as before. The Lady Ji was there as a butler.

Wan Rong himself grabbed her skirt and ran towards moon-nesting, tidying up a bed before calling Wan Ting and the others over to the flower racks. With these people looking at them together, there was nothing wrong with it.

When Wan Rong and the others arrived at the place, Xu Mingmei and Xu Mingwei were still sleeping soundly. Even when Wan Rong quietly covered them up with her blanket, he did not wake them up. Forget about six girls, with a natural disposition, the little girls wouldn't find it strange if they did anything to him. However, someone as calm and composed as her family's seven girls was like a child in today's mess.

The little girls secretly laughed around the two young masters, and after they found a place to sit, they started to work in groups of two or three. They gathered together to sew together, not daring to speak loudly for fear of waking Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingmei up, and could only quietly whisper and laugh, accompanied by the beautiful spring breeze.

Xu Mingmei slept soundly. With the warm sunlight and the fragrance of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, she slept all the way until dusk. If not for the fact that Wan Feng was afraid that her body would be injured after sleeping dinner and no one would wake him up, the two of them would not know how long they would have had to sleep in the garden.

He had already messed around in moon-nesting for the entire afternoon, he did not dare to even eat dinner here. He quickly pulled Wan Feng and bid farewell to Xu Mingwei before leaving. When she returned to the second room, she was still trembling with fear that the Lady Ji would scold her. When she went to pay her respects in the Lady Ji's room, she found out that the Lady Ji didn't even know where she had been or what she had been doing the entire afternoon.

At the same time, he felt sad. Xu Mingmei could not help but think, at noon, when he ran out, Lady Ji's mother did not question him about it, and when she returned, there was no trace of concern on her face.

Then, she thought of Seventh Sister's new daughter, Peaches. No matter how bad Lady Ji treated her, it would be easier than selling her daughter's peaches to her parents. After comforting herself like this, she didn't feel so sad anymore.

On the other side of the moon-nesting, Xu Mingwei had slept for too long in the afternoon. After she got tired, she was actually unable to sleep at night, and tossed and turned in her bed. Sometimes she would think about her past life, and sometimes she would think about Lady Helan and Xu Mingbai, the two brothers who had gone back to their hometown to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

As she thought about it in a daze, she finally regained some sleep during the second half of the night. However, she suddenly heard Wan Rong and Wan Ting quietly talking outside and immediately woke up.

Today, it should have been Wan Rou's turn to stand guard. I don't know what she told Wan Ting tonight, but it was Wan Ting's turn to stand guard on her behalf. Wan Rong was worried for him. She was afraid that Xu Mingwei would get up again in the middle of the night if she were to sleep in the garden during the afternoon.

Just then, Xu Mingwei heard Wan Ting say to Wan Rong, "Sister is really good to you, she is much more considerate than everyone else in the room. Although I also like girls, I don't think I can be like Big Sister, treating the matters of the girls as my own. "

Wan Rong laughed bitterly and said softly: "Miss is our heaven, if we don't serve her well, who else do you want to serve?"
