The next day, Jiang Danhe and Li Shouji were not around. They said that they had something on, and left in a hurry early in the morning. Neither of them mentioned what the matter was.
Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi went to the study room again. During the last time, Jiang Danhe had bought a lot of books for Zhuang Zhuang. Thereafter, the studious boy would hang out in the study room every day with Xiaoyi.
Xiaoguo was the only one left with nothing to do, so she wandered around the mansion.
Unknowingly, she arrived at the kitchen.
The kitchen was very quiet now, except for the soft conversation between the two chefs.
Xiaoguo made a sound to let them know that she was here, in case her sudden arrival startled them.
"There you are, Madam!"
The fatter cook greeted Xiaoguo happily.
"Yes I'm here. What are you guys doing?"
Xiaoguo was uninhibited around them. She grabbed a stool and sat down beside them.
