Chapter 64: Raindrop Mochi and Iced Desserts (1) (2/2)

Chu Lian instantly realised why Matriarch He had sent over the ice, despite it being so valuable. The Jing’an Estate wouldn’t normally get any to use for themselves.

However, she wasn’t thinking as deeply as Senior Servant Gui and the rest were. Since Matriarch He had given it to her, she was going to happily make use of it!

Otherwise, it would go to waste!

“Quick, get me a small cotton blanket,” Chu Lian said. Though her expression hardly changed, there was a degree of excitement to her manner.

Xiyan, still in the midst of her bout of sadness, wasn’t expecting that. She let out a soft ‘ah?’ and looked up at Chu Lian in confusion.

“Quickly, quickly. What are you standing there blanking out for?”

Xiyan wiped at the corners of her eyes. “But… but… Third Young Madam, what do you want a cotton blanket for?”

Chu Lian flicked Xiyan on the forehead. “What else is it for? To make all this ice melt slower. I want to use them to make desserts with shaved ice!”

“Shaved… shaved ice…” The thought was enough to completely distract Xiyan from her earlier gloominess. The hurt on her face also disappeared.

“Yeah! Shaved ice is delicious and helps relieve the heat. Go on, quickly!”

Thus, Xiyan was driven out to find a cotton blanket for Chu Lian.

When Xiyan returned, blanket in hand, she watched as Third Young Madam used it to cover up the wooden bucket. She didn’t seem to know whether to laugh or cry as a strange expression overtook her previously downcast face.

“Get me a change of clothes. I want to see what we have in the kitchen that I can use to make shaved ice with!”

Finally, Senior Servant Gui and Xiyan went along with her to the kitchen.
