"Alright, we've finished eating. Hurry up and go to sleep." As soon as she put down the chopsticks, Xiang Rongqing had already sent Xiang Rongqing back to her room without explanation. Before she left, he even specifically warned Yushu to look after the young miss.
Smoke Willow was afraid of Xiang Rongcheng's stern face the most. After receiving the orders, she agreed with a stern face, afraid that Xiang Rongcheng would be displeased and kick her out.
"Big brother, don't scare us like that." Lying on the bed, Xiang Rongqing rebuked.
Xiang Rongcheng looked at her room a few more times, then turned and walked out.
Smoke Willow sighed softly as she calculated in her heart. She didn't know which of the two Miss Shi and Miss Rongqing were more important in the young master's heart. Could Miss Rongqing be more important? After all, blood was thicker than water. It was impossible for her to be wrong to follow Miss Rongqing, but … She couldn't be too bad to Miss Shi in the future. If Miss Shi really married into her family, the relationship between master and servant would always make her suffer.
Shi Anran laid on her bed and suddenly sneezed. She thought that she had caught a cold and thought that after he woke up, she would ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of ginger soup for her to expel the cold.
"Miss, the old master sent someone over just now to tell you to make a trip to the front yard after you wake up." Not long after she woke up, Yi Yue knocked on the door and entered. Hearing Yi Yue's words, Shi Anran lightly nodded his head, "Do you know why my father called me in?"
Yi Yue shook her head lightly, her expression emotionless, "This servant doesn't know, it's just that after this servant heard that Young Master and Miss Xiang had left, she sent a servant here to pass on a message."
Shi Anran's brows slightly knitted together. Was it related to the Xiang Family again?
"Yi Yue, go to the kitchen and instruct them to prepare more food."
Hearing Shi Anran's words, Yi Yue nodded and helped her pull the curtains, "Your servant already gave the orders when the time is right, later you can go to the old master, the soup should be ready by now."
Shi Anran nodded in satisfaction. She paused for a bit, and as if she had suddenly thought of something, Shi Anran took her hand and said in a deep voice, "Yi Yue, I know that you and Liu Yue have always treated me wholeheartedly, and I will be in charge of your marriage in the future. If you have a man you like, you must tell me in advance. In order to prevent the events of his previous life from happening again, Shi Anran had long ago reminded him.
Yi Yue lowered her head, "I will follow young miss's instructions."
Shi Anran waved her hand, Yi Yue nodded and left, and then Liu Yue came in.
Compared to Yi Yue's depressing atmosphere, Liu Yue had much more to say. If Shi Anran's mood was any better, she would happily tease her, and after the master and servant pair played around, Shi Anran ordered, "Alright, hurry up and dress up for me. I still have to go to the front courtyard."
Just as he said that, Liu Yue became serious, "Yi Yue had even reminded me to quickly dress you up, do not let the old master become anxious, look at my brain, I was so happy that I forgot about it."
Shi Anran did not respond. Her words were full of flattery, but even she did not see through it. The thing that happened in the past few days, was to teach Liu Yue a lesson. If he continued to indulge her in whatever she said, she would probably make a huge mistake.
When everything was prepared, Yi Yue's soup was also brought over. Looking at the large tray full of food, Shi Anran frowned, "Why is there so much?"
"The kitchen has most likely prepared it for Master when they heard it. All of them put in great effort, wishing that they could bring out all of their skills."
Listening to Liu Yue's explanation, Shi Anran only shook her head lightly, "Let's hurry up and go, don't make daddy wait until he's worried."
The three master and servant walked towards the front of the courtyard, especially Yi Yue and Liu Yue, who were both holding large trays at the same time, had attracted the attention of others.
Coincidentally, at this time, the front courtyard study room had also arrived. Looking at Wang Yuan who was still standing at the doorway like a pine tree, Shi Anran couldn't help but recall her previous life and slightly suppressed the smile on her face.
"Greetings, Eldest Miss."
"Is my father inside?"
The two of them spoke up at practically the same time. Hearing Shi Anran's words, Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded his head, "The Old Master has already said that if Miss comes, you can enter immediately."
Shi Anran smiled and nodded, she turned and looked at the two girls and said, "Give it to me, you two wait for me at the door."
After saying that, she took the large tray, causing Yi Yue and Liu Yue to stumble back a few steps, "Miss, this tray is very heavy, how about you let Wang Yuan carry it in for you?"
Seeing that Liu Yue's eyes revealed worry, Shi Anran smiled and shook her head, "No need, it's just a few steps, you guys have carried me all the way, so let me take the last few steps."
The few of them were quietly bickering at the door, but Shi Yu heard all of them. Thinking that his daughter had suddenly grown up and became sensible, Shi Yu felt that his eyes were sore, and he further decided to persevere and think about his idea for the better part of the afternoon.
Putting down the book in his hands, he walked out.
"Master." Hearing the sound of the door opening and Wang Yuan's not loud enough for them to hear, the three of them couldn't help but stop what they were doing. The two little girls' hands were inconvenient, they only slightly blessed their bodies, while Shi Anran walked up to them with a faint smile, "Father, did you call your daughter here for something?"
Shi Yu patted the back of Shi Anran's hand, and turned to look at Wang Yuan, "Help young miss bring this in. Yi Yue, the two of you should also leave for now.
Hearing Shi Yu's words, Yi Yue and Liu Yue placed the tray in their hands into Wang Yuan's hands, blessed themselves with their bodies, and retreated.
After Wang Yuan left, Shi Anran smiled sweetly and teased, "Father, my daughter originally wanted to show her filial piety in front of you. Now, all of the credit has been given to you and Wang Yuan."
Looking at his eldest daughter's innocent and naive appearance, Shi Yu felt as if he returned to the days before his wife passed away. He started laughing heartily, "How could my daughter do all these manual labor? Your father knows that Anran is a filial son. "
Shi Anran smiled as she scooped up a bowl of soup for Shi Yu and placed it in front of him, "Father, try it, this was made by Yi Yue, her daughter is full of praise for her skills, no wonder she was able to stay in front of Father for such a long time despite her bored personality."
Shi Yu nodded with satisfaction after taking a sip, and said: "Don't underestimate this girl, Yi Yue is smart."
Shi Yu did not say it out loud, but how could Shi Anran not understand? Although Yi Yue did not say it out loud, she already had a plan in her mind;
"Oh right, dad, why did you send your daughter here today?"
Seeing that his daughter's mood had improved, Shi Yu suddenly didn't know if he had made the right decision, and hesitated, not daring to speak.
Seeing how preoccupied Shi Yu looked, Shi Anran's heart was thumping hard. He couldn't help but recall what had happened in his previous life at this time.
"Anran, father has thought a lot today, do you have any feelings for Rong Cheng?" Hearing Shi Yu's words, Shi Anran naturally wanted to express her opinion immediately, but due to the fact that she was still unable to make sense of Shi Yu's intentions, she said in a measured tone, "My daughter and Young Master Xiang have only met a few times, if we talk about feelings … It seems too early. "
These words were flawless, and not only did he not publicly refute the marriage her mother had arranged for her, he also kept a distance from Xiang Rongcheng.
