The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Chapter 193 Mrs. Bai's Misunderstanding

Madam Bai looked at Zhou Ning and Shen You calmly and said, "Children, come here and let me take a closer look."

Zhou Ning and Shen You went forward together.

Old Madam Bai thought to herself, they are both beauties, but she doesn’t know which one Ji’er likes.

She took off a pair of bracelets, which were made of blue jade and were very rare.

"These bracelets are a pair, and the colors are bright. They are not suitable for an old woman like me to wear, but they are just right for you young and beautiful girls." Old Lady Bai smiled and put the bracelets on the wrists of the two people.

Shen You's eyebrows were curved, dimples appeared on her face, and her smile was sincere and lovely. She said, "Old Madam, I can tell from your eyebrows and eyes what you looked like when you were young. You must have been a stunning beauty. If you were born a few decades earlier, Ah Ning and I would have been outshined by you here."

The huge Bai family would coax Old Madam Bai.

But Shen You's eyes were bright and she looked extremely sincere.

"By the way, this is our first meeting, and I didn’t know what you like, so I prepared some pastries I made for you." Shen You took out a lunch box. The lunch box was not big and could be stuffed into the wide sleeves. It was small and exquisite.

Only then did Zhou Ning realize that the pastries Shen You was making in the kitchen last night were actually for Old Madam Bai.

"Oh, you can make cakes." Old Lady Bai said to Zhu Yin beside her, "Open it quickly, let me try it."

Zhu Yin is an old lady who follows Madam Bai and is her dowry maid.

Zhu Yin opened the food box, prepared a pair of gold and silver chopsticks, looked at the exquisite pastries in the food box, and said with a smile: "This girl's hands are really skillful. I think even the pastries in Tianqiao Tower are not as good as the ones made by you."

This pastry is pink and translucent, in the shape of a peach blossom. It smells sweet and sour like peach. When you bite into it, it is soft, sour and sweet and melts in your mouth.

Old Mrs. Bai nodded as she ate and ate a lot in one bite.

"Madam, please eat less. You will feel uncomfortable at night if you have poor digestion." Zhu Yin advised.

Old Mrs. Bai joked, "How long can an old lady like me live? Why don't I eat what I want while I'm still alive? Don't be too upset, do you want to eat something?"

Zhu Yin quickly refused and looked at Shen You.

Shen You smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Zhuyin. This pastry has something easily digestible added to it. You won't feel uncomfortable after eating this box."

Zhu Yin felt relieved after hearing this.

"Does such a delicious pastry have a name that matches its quality?" Old Madam Bai became even more friendly towards Shen You.

Shen You said, "This cake doesn't have a name yet. It needs an old lady like you to name it to add blessings to it."

Madam Bai smiled happily, waved her hand and said with a smile: "Peach blossoms bloom first in the warm spring. Who doesn't come to see the beauty? How about that?"

Zhu Yin, Zhou Ning and Shen You all praised Old Madam Bai and made her happy.

"Okay, you are tired after the journey, go back and have a rest. I have prepared a small courtyard for you two." At this point, Mrs. Bai paused and said, "Zhu Yin, let the two girls not go to Linshui Courtyard, but live in Chunshan Courtyard next to my courtyard, how about that?"

Shen You thanked her, "Whatever the old lady gives must be the best."

Shen You pulled Zhou Ning out.

On the way, Qi Ji stopped Zhou Ning to say a few words, and Shen You said that he would go and pack up first, and they could rest after Ning came back.

Qi Ji and Zhou Ning were whispering something to each other. Zhou Ning frowned, took out a small pill from his sleeve, and whispered, "Then you should be careful."

Qi Ji left.

Zhu Yin looked at the two of them, and then went back to report to Old Lady Bai: "I saw it clearly, the young master and Miss Zhou were talking alone, but their voices were so soft that I couldn't hear what they said. Miss Zhou gave the young master something, and from what I saw, I'm afraid it was..."

Old Mrs. Bai ate her cakes, sighed, and said, "Forget it, Miss Shen and I are not destined to be together after all. As for his future wife, it's up to him to choose whoever he likes."

Zhu Yin sighed and said, "Ms. Shen looks innocent and cute, but in fact, she has her own plans in her words and actions. I don't think she is a girl from an ordinary family."

When Qi Ji told his family about this, he just said she was a farm girl.

But she only told the truth to Old Madam Bai, and she knew that Shen You was the county lady personally appointed by the emperor.

However, Qi Ji did not say anything else, for example, Zhou Ning was the granddaughter that the Su family had just adopted.

Old Madam Bai ate her cakes in silence and said, "Zhuyin, you can't neglect them just because they are farm girls. In addition to the four maids originally assigned, assign Huicui to them as well."

Hui Cui is Madam Bai's personal maid. Now she is eighteen years old. She is diligent, capable, and worldly-wise, and holds a high status in the mansion.

When the gathering arrived at Chunshan Courtyard, Zhou Ning and Shen You had just packed their things and were lying outside leisurely in the sun.

"Aning, ah~I'm sleepy. Don't you want to go find a yard?" Shen You asked while yawning.

"Let's talk about it later. It's still early." Zhou Ning closed his eyes and rested.

"What did Qi Ji want to talk to you about just now?"

"Nothing, probably going to kill someone."

"Oh, huh?!"

Shen You jumped up, shaking Zhou Ning as well, and asked with a look of shock on his face, "What did you say?"

Zhou Ning touched Shen You's hand and looked at Huicui.

Just now Zhou Ning sent the maids away after they had cleaned up the house, but she didn't expect another gathering to come.

"Sister Huicui, what are you doing?" Shen You asked vigilantly, wondering if this girl had heard what they had just said.

Hui Cui lowered her head slightly and said, "In reply to the two ladies, I was sent by the old lady."

After a pause, Hui Cui walked closer and whispered, "I am also your man."

Shen You asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Hui Cui replied, "When I was ten years old, my family fell into poverty and my father died tragically. It was the young master who helped me take care of my father's affairs. He sent me to the old lady to protect me from other members of the Bai family."

Zhou Ning and Shen You looked at each other. It seemed that the Bai family was not a good place.

Hui Cui said, "The master told me that the Bai family is in deep trouble, and asked me to take good care of the two girls and not to embarrass them."

Shen You stood up and asked, "If you say so, why didn't Qi Ji tell me in person?"

"The young master will be a bit busy these days. He said that the Bai family has a lot of things to do and he is afraid that he can't take care of it. Why don't I accompany the two girls every day?"

Huicui's words are sincere and his logic is very rigorous.

Shen You smiled and said, "Then help me prepare dinner. We are hungry."

After Huicui finished speaking, he left.

Shen You hissed and murmured, "A Ning, do you think she can be trusted?"

Zhou Ning recalled that it was Qi Ji who was picked up by Hui Cui and he was also someone close to the old lady, so he said, "It's 70% credible. Can't we just ask Qi Ji later?"

"makes sense……"
