As Su Nuan Nuan hed, ”That day you stormed the kitchens, are you sure the one Ms Xue feared is Madam Yun? People still talked about it, you know That day first redients was like an incredible tornado had just past through”
”Wei,up bad history” Su Nuan Nuan said with soxuan's ankle crossly ”Also, what's all this talk about stor Lian and Xiang Yun, hardly enough people to actually 'storm' a place How shameful, as the lord heir, you should at least be able to use your words properly”
