“Then I’ll go ask our young master right now.”

Xiaobei hurriedly turned around to go back, heading back to Garden of

Welcoming Bamboo to find Wei Jinyi.

After hearing Xiaobei’s special request, Wei Jinyi said, “You can invite her to eat the prepared mountain chicken and wild rabbit, as a compensation for her

snack.”

So, Xiaobei ran back to Tingsong Garden to report.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll go with you.” Xiumei agreed readily.

She grabbed a bag of items and started walking towards the Garden of Welcoming Bamboo.

Xiaobei wondered, “Lady Xiumei, don’t you need to ask your mistress again?

What if your mistress doesn’t like wild food?”

Xiumei glanced at the clueless Xiaobei and smiled, “Don’t worry, my mistress absolutely loves it.”

Xiumei went to the small kitchen in the Garden of Welcoming Bamboo and began to get busy.

The rabbit meat was braised, and to cater to Wei Jinyi’s taste, no spicy ingredients were added. Otherwise, according to her mistress’s taste, it would have to be made with a spicy flavor.

The mountain chicken was made into a soup, with some nourishing astragalus and goji berries added.

Also, she quickly stir-fried a dish of sweet potato leaves and pumpkin tips. The sweet potato leaves were brought by the wet nurse, while the pumpkin tips were freshly picked from Wei Ruo’s yard.

Four dishes—two with meat and two vegetarian, and one soup-were prepared.

Xiaobei served the dishes on the table, while Xiumei went next door to invite

Wei Ruo.

After Xiaobei placed the four dishes on the table, he remarked to Wei Jinyi, “The mistress is so kind. We asked for their help in cooking the wild food, and they provided us with vegetables and ingredients, creating four well-rounded dishes.”

“Yes.” Wei Jinyi responded.

“It would be great if the mistress could eat with us more often in the future.”

Xiaobei muttered to himself.

He knew this was impossible. The Master and Madam would certainly require the Mistress to eat with everyone in the dining hall.

As they were talking, Wei Ruo entered the pavilion, beaming with joy.

Wei Jinyi had already prepared a seat for her. Wei Ruo sat down and glanced at the three dishes and one soup on the table, a smile creeping up the corners of her mouth.

Her beloved rabbit meat, it had been so long since she last had it!

Wei Jinyi noticed Wei Ruo’s excited expressions and couldn’t help but smile. He took the initiative to pick up a piece of rabbit leg and put it in Wei Ruo’s bowl.

“It’s my fault that you didn’t get to enjoy your snack. Consider this rabbit a way of making amends.” Wei Jinyi said.

“Then I won’t be polite.” Wei Ruo laughed at Wei Jinyi with her head tilted back, then proceeded to use her chopsticks without standing on ceremony.

In reality, both of them were well aware. One wanted to invite the other for mountain chicken and wild rabbit and took special care to make the food. The other wanted to use the excuse of missed tea cake as compensation.

Only Xiaobei wasn’t aware of it.
