Chapter 607: Chapter 556, Going Away_1

“`

Amidst laughter, the several baskets of peach blossoms that had been picked were washed clean, and of course, the robe in front of Xiao Yeyang was also nearly soaked through. Grandma Gu, worried he might catch a cold, had him return to his room to change, and seeing that Daohua’s sleeves were also a bit wet, she was told to change as well.

After Daohua changed her clothes and came out, she saw Defu returning from outside the courtyard, holding a letter in his hand, and hurriedly entering Xiao Yeyang’s room.

Pausing to watch for a while and seeing that Xiao Yeyang did not come out, Daohua turned and entered the kitchen.

“Miss Yan!”

Seeing Daohua come in, Dongli, who was tending to the fire, and Caiju, who was chopping vegetables, both bent towards her and made a bow.

Daohua glanced at the two people.

Miss Yan?

Calling the master and Grandma Gu “Old Master” and her by her full name, Miss Yan…

At first glance, the title might not seem incorrect, yet upon further consideration, it took on a different flavor.

As the master’s only disciple, wouldn’t it be fitting for her to be addressed as “Young Mistress”?

But these two had shown no intention of this from the start, towards her, they were respectful, yet it was only respect.

Thankfully, the two served Master and Grandma Gu well. Since their arrival, the master had been much more relaxed and had more time to accompany Grandma Gu.

Caiju and Dongli felt somewhat uneasy under her gaze—worrying that they might have let something slip and that this astute Miss Yan from the Yan Family might have noticed something.

Luckily, Daohua simply glanced around the kitchen casually: “Carry on, don’t mind me. I’m just here to see what we’re having for dinner.”

Hearing this, Caiju and Dongli simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and got back to their tasks.

Daohua stood beside Caiju for a while: “Nice knife skills, clearly trained.”

Upon hearing the term “trained,” Caiju’s heart skipped a beat, nearly cutting her own hand, and said with a rigid smile, “You flatter me, Miss.”

Daohua smiled, “No flattery—you can’t achieve such flavors without several years of experience in the kitchen. Keep up the hard work and try to prepare a few more new dishes. It seems Master and Grandma Gu really enjoy your cooking.”

As soon as Daohua revealed her intentions, Caiju’s anxious heart settled back into place, and she quickly smiled, “I will certainly do my best to try making new dishes.”

Daohua nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Dongli, who was tending the fire.

Was it her imagination, or did Dongli seem to tense up the moment she looked his way?

There wasn’t much to see around the fire, so Daohua turned and left the kitchen.

Once she was gone, Caiju and Dongli very in sync wiped their foreheads where no sweat existed.

“It’s really strange, she’s just a delicate young lady who doesn’t carry heavy burdens or do manual labor, yet when she looks over, I feel an overwhelming pressure.”

“Me too.”

“From now on, let’s try to appear less in front of these two formidable figures. I’m afraid my heart can’t take it.”

“Mm-hm.”

…

During dinner, Daohua noticed that Xiao Yeyang’s demeanor was as usual, without any signs of anxiety, so she set her mind at ease and even had the mood to commend Caiju’s cooking: “Caiju’s dishes are truly excellent.”

Grandma Gu, with a smile, looked over: “If you like them, have more.” Saying so, she placed a helping of vegetables into her bowl.

Daohua hurriedly held up her bowl to receive them: “Thank you, Grandma Gu, and you should eat too. You seem to have lost weight, you need to eat more to regain strength.” After saying that, she also served a helping of vegetables to Grandma Gu.

Grandma Gu nodded with a smile, “Alright, I’ll eat more.”

Suddenly, Gu Jian interjected, “If you aren’t busy, come over and spend more time with us in the future.”

At his words, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both were taken aback.

This was the first time Gu Jian had spoken up about them staying over more frequently.

Grandma Gu glared at Gu Jian, then said to Daohua and Xiao Yeyang with a smile, “Don’t mind him. Grandma understands you each have your own matters to attend to. Just come and see us when you are free, that alone, will make me very happy.”
