"You! Why are you here? ! " Zhou Lingfang shouted loudly. She ran over and grabbed second sister-in-law Xu, pulling her forcefully.
"I. . . Young Master asked me to Cook Fish for Young Madam... " Second sister-in-law Xu had an aggrieved look on her face. Zhou Lingfang pinched her arm so hard that she didn't dare to say anything. She could only answer weakly ...
She knew that Zhou Lingfang was a very suspicious person. Now that she saw her at young master and Young Madam's place, she probably thought that she had come to leak the secret.
"Madam Zhou, I didn't say anything, I... "
"Shut up! " Zhou Lingfang slapped her, causing second sister-in-law Xu to turn half a circle on the spot. Her head was in a daze.
Xia Jinqi looked coldly at Zhou Lingfang's performance and opened her mouth to add fuel to the fire. "Why did you hit her? She really didn't say anything, did she, Second sister-in-law Xu? "
Xia Jinqi's half-smile tone made Zhou Lingfang's old face even more unsightly!
"I'll settle the score with you when we get back! " With that said, she led second sister-in-law Xu away.
Xia Jinqi didn't stop them. She just watched them leave and beckoned for a bodyguard.
"follow them. Don't kill anyone. "
"Yes, Young Madam, " the bodyguard replied and quickly followed them out.
This was the bodyguard that Wang Mang had arranged. Usually, he would only act as a servant in the Yan family. He was very ordinary and wouldn't arouse the suspicion of others.
After the bodyguard left, Xia Jinqi turned around and went to the dining table.
The West Lake Vinegar Fish was still steaming with white smoke. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of vinegar. It was very fragrant!
Yan Jun just happened to come down from upstairs, and his tall figure followed the spiral staircase down.
"come quickly, it really smells good! " Xia Jinqi beckoned to him, and the servants by her side had already set up the bowls and chopsticks.
Yan Jun saw that she could not hide the smile on her face, and when he saw that second sister-in-law Xu had long disappeared from the kitchen, he asked, "has she left? "
"She was taken away by Zhou Lingfang. I even helped you to scare them a little. Now, when we go back, I think it's time for them to turn against each other, " Xia Jinqi said nonchalantly All her attention was focused on the West Lake Vinegar Fish in front of her. How could she care about anyone else?
When Yan Jun heard her say that, he roughly guessed what had happened just now.
He didn't continue to ask. When he looked down, he saw her anxiously picking up the fish meat and preparing to put it into her mouth.
"Wait. " He furrowed his brows and snatched the fish meat that she was about to put into her mouth.
Xia Jinqi's face was blank. Just as she was about to ask him why he snatched her food, she saw him put the fish meat into a small porcelain plate with a serious expression. He carefully fiddled with it a few times and picked out a few sparkling fish bones from the fish meat Then, he returned the rest of the fish meat to her. "Eat. "
The series of actions were done smoothly and skillfully.
Xia Jinqi's eyes turned red from the sudden warmth of his doting. She said with a choked voice, "how can I eat fish if you're not by my side in the future? "
She was really afraid that one day, if she left him, she would be unable to take care of herself... ...
She felt inexplicably sad.
Listening to her talk, he was not in a hurry. The next plate of fish meat had already been picked out and he handed it to her. "So, in the future, if you eat fish, you can only eat it with me. "
She had forgotten which day it was. She had read from a book that eating more fish was good for her baby, and Xia Jinqi began to fall in love with fish meat.
There was once when she didn't notice it, and she swallowed the fish bone. It stuck in her throat, and the pain made her wipe her tears.
Yan Jun, who was at the side, was also anxious. When he saw that she was in pain, the space between his brows was always furrowed very tightly.
From then on, every time Xia Jinqi ate fish, Yan Jun would take the initiative to pick out the fish bone.
