"Don't blame her, sister, I've spoiled this girl rotten, and she dares to speak out of turn even when the master is talking."
Ye Xue'e shakes her head in secret, then turns back to smile and explain things to Second Aunt Lin.
"Ah, I'm fine, you know me, sister-in-law; I speak my mind, saying anything that comes to thought without holding back."
Second Aunt Lin chuckles indifferently, then turns her body to instruct the maid.
"Ming Cui, go to the kitchen and ask them to make extra food for lunch. The crown prince and the three young masters are here, there are more people in the house, so we mustn't delay mealtime."
"Yes."
Ming Cui bows slightly in respect, accepts, and then leaves.
"Take these vegetables as well, adding a dish for lunch won't hurt."
Ye Xue'e quickly stops her, passing over the basket of vegetables she's holding.
"And mine."
Ying'er finally shakes off her shyness, and mimicking the madam's action, also hands over her basket of vegetables.
"Yes, Madam."
