Chapter 145: Banquet for Colleagues

“Madam, you have been toiling for so long. I have already had a little monk arrange a room for you. Why don’t you go and take a short rest? After lunch, we can return home,” Grandma Chen dutifully suggested, arranging everything very neatly. Su Wenyue naturally would not disagree and nodded, following Grandma Chen’s recommendation.

“Miss, I’ve heard that the meals at Lingyin Temple are quite delicious, even better than the ones at Grand Restaurant In The City. It’s a rare opportunity for us to be here, so we must have a good meal!” Xiao Xi said cheerfully. She was currently very interested in cooking, so she was particularly curious about food.

“Tsk, such a bumpkin who has never seen the world, running eagerly to a temple for a meal. What’s the Grand Restaurant In The City? The truly good chefs are all in the mansions of Wealthy Families. It’s truly embarrassing!”

As soon as Xiao Xi’s words fell to the ground, a Servant Girl in green clothes, attending a beautiful woman, walked over with disdain. Although the attendant called her a woman, she was, in fact, dressed as one, and appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. It was the Servant Girl in green clothes who spoke with a disdainful look at Su Wenyue and her servants, as the woman exuded pride, clearly too arrogant to give anyone the time of day.

This kind of person was likely of good family background, hence her high self-regard and disdain for others. Su Wenyue did not want to offend them, nor did she intend to argue. After exchanging a glance with the haughty pair, she led Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi into the room arranged by the little monk. Xiao Xi, feeling indignant, wanted to explain herself to the Servant Girl in green clothes but was stopped by a warning look from Su Wenyue and held back.

Seeing Su Wenyue’s reaction, the haughty pair found it unamusing. The Servant Girl in green clothes snorted: “Truly, bumpkins from the countryside, lacking any manners!”

The little monk pressed his hands together, seemingly unnoticed in the non-argument, his expression unchanged, yet it seemed as if he saw everything.

“Miss, why didn’t you let me talk back to that servant girl? Who does she think she is, laughing at us as bumpkins from the countryside? And her master, so arrogant, as if her nose was in the sky!” Xiao Xi initially swallowed her pride in front of Su Wenyue, but once inside the room, she couldn’t contain herself.

Su Wenyue did not rush to explain, but instead turned her gaze to Grandma Chen: “Xiao Xi’s impetuosity is too severe. Grandma Chen, what do you think?”

“Yes, servant thinks Madam’s actions were correct. Although that pair of master and servant are arrogant, we have no quibble with them, and there is no need to bicker and create enmities over a trivial matter. What’s wrong with bearing a moment’s indignation? At present, the master’s official rank is still low, and it is a time when we need to exercise restraint and bide our time. Moreover, from both the pair’s clothing and their arrogant air, it is clear they come from an non-ordinary background, likely being from Aristocratic Families or noted ones, which is why they are so boastful and don’t regard others at all. Although such behavior is hard to accept, it’s better for us not to offend such people for now, otherwise one careless move could bring trouble for the master and the Su Family,” Grandma Chen counseled.

Su Wenyue nodded, then looked towards Xiao Xi: “Now do you understand why I stopped you? Your temperament is too impulsive; you really need to learn some patience.”
