Ning Anhui wasnât studying in the academy, so he wasnât afraid of Dean Lu. When he heard this, he even leaned over curiously. âOh, youâre talking about sponge cake? This is already my sisterâs early work. The new product is even better. Why donât you try it, Sir?â
As he spoke, he even guided him. âFor example, look at the light purple sandwich in the middle of this Taro Cake Roll. Theyâre all processed from taro, but the texture is very different from what we usually eat. Look at this Mianmian Cake. If not for the fact that the cream is too difficult to preserve, my sister would definitely pack the Cloud Cake for you. The texture is really like a cloud. It wonât be sweet or greasy when it enters your mouth. Also, this small biscuit is soft and crispy. It has any texture you want and is convenient to preserve. My brother and Zhao Yan like to bring it to school every day.â
âOh, right. They seemed to have brought a portion forâ¦â Teacher Chen today.
âCough, cough, cough.â Chen Yong coughed lightly and interrupted Ning Anhui. He still looked serious. âTeacher, donât eat too much. You still have to eat later.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Dean Lu stuffed another biscuit into his mouth in front of him. His eyes were filled with the anger of an old child. Chen Yongâs expression did not change. He turned around and asked Ning Anhui, âDid your family make all these? Itâs a pity that you donât open a snack shop with your skills.â
Ning Anhui narrowed his eyes and smiled. âThis gentleman really has good taste. To be honest, my family really opened a shop outside the academy. Itâs called âSo Itâs Youâ.â
Dean Lu pondered for a moment. âThis name is quite interesting.â
Ning Anhui immediately turned his head. âOf course. My sister gave it that name!â
After thinking for a moment, he added, âMy sister made the snacks herself. She came up with every novel method herself. Isnât she awesome?â
Seeing that his brother was about to start bragging about his sister again, Ning Ansheng pulled him back and cupped his hands at Dean and Chen Yong. âIâm sorry, we only have this one sister in our family. Weâre used to praising her, so he couldnât hold back for a moment.â
Dean Lu and Xiaoxiao couldnât tell if he was being modest or affirming Ning Anhuiâs words. At this moment, Mrs. Shen and Xiaoxiao finished looking at the flowers and plants. They guessed that the men had finished chatting and came back together.
Dean Lu turned around. âItâs you?â
Xiaoxiao focused on her memories. âAh, Uncle, itâs you.â
The others were stunned. âYou two know each other?â
Xiaoxiao briefly explained what happened with Lei Shaoming outside the academy back then. She heard that she used unfamiliar words to embarrass Lei Shaoming. Shen Tianci, who knew about this for the first time, could not help but laugh out loud. âWhat did you think of this trick?â
Xiaoxiao shrugged. âHe clearly wants to find trouble with me and wonât let it go easily. I donât read as many books as him. Since I have a choice, of course Iâll use my strengths to attack his weaknesses.â
Shen Tianci was a little anxious and tried his best to give her a look. The teacher and Dean of the academy were still watching. NingXiaoxiao, is it really okay for you to be so direct?!
Of course, Xiaoxiao knew that the two of them were listening, but Dean Lu had participated in the entire incident that day and was already clear about it. As for the teacher who taught the law, he used to be the clerk for the chamberlain of law enforcement. With her little thoughts, she could not hide it even if she wanted to, okay?
Instead of covering it up, it was better to tell the truth. At least she could leave an honest impression.
However, she naturally had to say everything she needed to say. âI definitely wonât cheat people usually, but he doesnât come with good intentions. I canât just accept it.â
She was right. Because of this sincere explanation, Dean Lu and Chen Yong had a better impression of her. At the dining table, they even said that they would visit her shop in the future.
Xiaoxiao only thanked her with a smile, but County Magistrate Shen and Mrs. Shen exchanged a tacitly evil smile. Did Dean Lu and Senior Brother Chen think that Xiaoxiao, a farm girl, would have a poor business?
After the meal, the adults were in the mood to study again. However, for the sake of efficiency, they each took one away. Unfortunately, Shen Tianci was chosen by the big boss. When he followed Dean Lu into the study, he wanted to die. Ning Ansheng and Chen Yong went away together. It felt similar to going to the academy.
County Magistrate Shen said that he wanted to discuss a few articles with Rong Yan. Xiaoxiao saw through it but did not say anything. She even reminded Little Big Brother to ask about the genius doctor.
Yun Yi followed him out of habit and only retreated with a frown when he was stopped. Xiaoxiao comforted him very well. âDonât worry, the Shen Residence is safe.â
Yun Yi said with a smile, âMiss Ning, you must be joking. Whatâs there for me to worry about? Master is just studying. Thereâs nothing unsafe about it.â
Xiaoxiao did not point out that he was exposing himself. She just skipped to the garden with Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen planted many beautiful flowers and plants in the backyard. What she lacked was a target to show off. This time, she praised herself for catching Xiaoxiao. This made Xiaoxiao look forward to the seedling in the space that had yet to be seen.
The space liked to be mysterious. It really didnât give any notes before the seeds grew up.
Neither of them noticed that Yun Yiâs expression was too dark, not far behind them.
Did Miss Ning guess something?
He lowered his eyes. It seemed that his master was not lying when he said that Miss Ning was smart.
Through the conversation between Master and Miss Ning these few days, he already knew that Master had taken out the banknotes to buy the mountain with Miss Ning. Master was such a cautious person, but he made an exception for Miss Ning again and again. It could be seen how much influence she had on Master.
In the hall, County Magistrate Shen went around the small door and took Rong Yan to the place where the young man was recuperating. There were many guards outside the door, and no one could come in without County Magistrate Shenâs order.
The young man had indeed woken up once, but he was exhausted now and fell asleep again.
Rong Yan went straight to the point. âDid you get anything out of him?â
County Magistrate Shen answered, âHe mentioned some bamboo slips. Weâve searched him, but we didnât find it.â
Although Gongsun Zhongjingâs medical skills were outstanding, he was still a human after all, not a god. The young manâs qi and blood were deficient. It could be said that he had wandered around the King of Hellâs Palace several times. It was already rare for him to recover to his current state.
Rong Yan and County Magistrate Shen were not unreasonable people, so they didnât rush or blame him. Instead, they brought him a box of snacks prepared by Xiaoxiao.
Since he let Gongsun Zhongjing participate in the young manâs treatment, it was not appropriate for him to leave the Shen Family for the time being. This was for the young man and also for Gongsun Zhongjing himself. Yan Lu was ruthless and would not care about the reputation of a genius doctor.
Fortunately, Old Mrs. Liâs treatment had come to an end and the prescription had been prescribed. The follow-up treatment could not be carried out without Old Mrs. Liâs cooperation. Therefore, what the Li Family needed to do now was to ask the Li Family to persuade that stubborn Old Mrs. Li. Otherwise, County Magistrate Shen would not be able to handle them.
He paced back and forth. âWho was the first to discover this young man back then? Perhaps we can find the whereabouts of the bamboo slip if we ask.â
Rong Yan pondered. Even in front of County Magistrate Shen, he didnât plan to drag Xiaoxiao into the mess.
âItâs me..â
