C13 (2/2)

Wen Jiu placed the food box on the table and took out two plates of pastries, ”Mrs. Wen said that you like osmanthus cake, so I made some in the kitchen. One plate was a bit sweeter than the other, and the other didn't have any sugar on it.

Xie Qi blushed as he ate a piece, he did not say anything for a long time.

Wen Jiu could not help but ask: ”Doesn't taste good? Or … Is it bad? ”

After she became the female tycoon, dozens of restaurants had been opened just for her. It had been many years since she last cooked anything. Could it be that she could only look but not eat?

”It's not hard to eat, it's not... ”It really is delicious.” Xie Qi had probably never been alone with a lady before, and was always at a loss as to what to do.

Wen Jiu found him interesting when he saw this, and chatted with him for a while. The sky gradually darkened, and attendant reminded him: ”Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Madame, it's time to eat dinner.”

Xie Qi looked at Gui Hua Cake and his expression suddenly dimmed. He said softly, ”I wonder if Third Brother has dinner.”

Wen Jiu thought that she had heard wrongly, ”What is Young Master saying?”

Xie Qi placed the slightly sweet osmanthus cake into the food box and said gently, ”The osmanthus cake made by Miss Wen is very tasty. I like the sweet ones the most.

Wen Jiu took a glance at the door, ”It's almost dark, big wind, you can't get cold, let them go send you off.”

Xie Qi looked to be in a difficult position.

With his body, he would definitely be sick if he got blown by the wind. Sooner or later, Second Madame Xie would know where he went.

Wen Jiu said: ”Then I'll send him off, Third Brother … ”Which courtyard do you live in?”

”Qiu Feng Courtyard.”

Xie Qi told her where he was, and also told her not to let anyone see it, especially the Second Madame Xie.

This Third Young Master seemed to be born from Second Master Xie's concubine and was Xie Qi's half-brother. If not for the Old Madam, he would have been killed by the Second Madame Xie long ago.

Xie Qi's thoughts were meticulous and she treated everyone very well. Taking advantage of the dusk, Wen Jiu did not ask any further and went to the Qiu Feng Courtyard based on his understanding of Xie's Mansion over the past few days.

The moment Wen Jiu stepped onto the stairs, he saw that the entire courtyard was overgrown with weeds. Green vines climbed up the courtyard walls, and in the twilight, the shabby lanterns swayed about, as if they were from a ghost house.

Wen Jiu felt a chill behind him, and saw a few people standing not far away from the small pond. The lights were too dim, and his appearance could not be seen.

From the sound of it, the woman who brought along the two maids seemed to be Linglan. She said something and suddenly jumped into the pond.

Before Wen Jiu could react, he heard Linglan shouting at the top of her voice, ”My family's young miss has good intentions in bringing you food! You actually dare to disrespect her! ”

”Someone, Miss Ling has committed suicide because she couldn't bear the humiliation!”
