Chapter 81.4 – She’s here to buy soy sauce? (4)

“Haven’t eaten yet. I’ll take them to divide up the areas to be in charge of first.” Han Ming Yi said.

“Alright.” Du Xiao Li nodded, letting Qiao Zhu go tell the kitchen to prepare food. Fortunately, Han Ming Yi and

Du Yun Han had already brought some chefs over, and the ingredients have also been long prepared. That’s why

although there were a hundred more people, the meals still weren’t a problem.

Ever since Han Ming Yi showed up, Du Yun Han had been staring at him very unpleasantly, and seeing him and Du

Xiao Li chatting happily, his head was filled with thoughts of his white cabbage getting eaten by a pig.

Three foreign countries, male and female separated, so a total of six courtyards. Han Ming Yi had the people he

brought divided into these six courtyards. As for the other courtyards, and the security measures for the competition,

Han Ming Yi said he would bring over bit by bit later.

After dealing with these things, Du Xiao Li then returned to the Du Manor with her servant girls, leaving behind Du

Yun Han and Han Ming Yi, with one glaring at the other. Although Han Ming Yi didn’t know what was wrong with

this future father-in-law of his either.

Returning to her Jade Bamboo Courtyard, Du Xiao Li plopped down on her own large bed, letting out a long sigh.

“Miss, drink some tea.” Xia Yuan said, as she carried a cup of tea over.

Du Xiao Li sat up, accepting the tea and taking a sip, before lying down again.

“Miss must be tired.” Ying Ge was currently tidying their things away. Seeing Du Xiao Li’s appearance, she said

with a laugh.

“Indeed, almost out of breath from everything lately! Before, I felt this place wasn’t good, but after living outside for

this long, I suddenly feel I miss this place a little.” Du Xiao Li said with a smile.

“That’s probably because miss has accepted the prime minister, and thus feel this place is home.” Xia Yuan said.

Du Xiao Li blinked hearing Xia Yuan’s words. Is that so?

Perhaps so!

Suddenly, Qiao Zhu entered the room and said, “Miss, the old madam sent someone over to invite you over.”

Du Xiao Li sat up, “Grandmother wants me to go over? Did they say what it’s for?”

“This servant doesn’t know.” Qiao Zhu shook her head.

“From how I see it, the old madam probably learned of miss’s good points and wants to get close with you!” Ying

Ge said with a pout, “This old madam sure is greedy!”

“Ying Ge, don’t talk nonsense!” Xia Yuan berated.

“I…..” Ying Ge wanted to retort, but seeing the look Xia Yuan was giving her, she had her following words

swallowed back down and instead said, “Miss, Ying Ge is wrong.”

Du Xiao Li got up from the bed and said, “These words, you can say in front of your miss, but no matter how

terrible she is, she’s still my grandmother. In the future, you better not say these words in front of others,

understand?”

“This servant understands.” Ying Ge replied with a curtsy.

“Then let’s over right away.”

“Miss, your hair’s a mess, this servant will re-brush it for you.” Xia Yuan said when she saw Du Xiao Li’s messy bed

hair.

Once Xia Yuan finished combing Du Xiao Li’s hair, they descended the stairs. Du Xiao Li saw that the one that

came to call her was the second rank servant girl by Du Old Madam’s side, the one called Tao Hua.

“Third miss.” Tao Hua bowed to Du Xiao Li

“Just now, I was asleep, so had to spend some time tidying up, sorry to have made you wait.” Du Xiao Li politely

said.

“Miss Qiao Zhu had already told me earlier.” Tao Hua said with a smile, “Third miss, can we go now?”

“Let’s go.”

Du Xiao Li brought along Xia Yuan and followed Tao Hua to the old madam’s room. Before she even entered, she

heard a voice in a strange tone come from the room.

“This third miss is getting more and more arrogant. Old madam sent someone to go invite her, yet she still hasn’t

showed up yet!”

Du Xiao Li looked to Tao Hua and asked, “Fourth yiniang is also present?”

“Replying to third miss, fourth yiniang came just now to deliver over some incense sticks for old madam, and most

likely didn’t leave.” Tao Hua replied, “Let’s head inside.”

Tao Hua entered the room first, while Du Xiao Li and Xia Yuan followed in after her, and sure enough, they saw

fourth yiniang.

“Old madam, third miss has come.”

Du Xiao Li curtsied and said, “This granddaughter greets grandmother.”

“Xiao Li has come? Quick, come over.” Du Old Madam looked to Du Xiao Li, smiling as she waved at her.

Du Xiao Li got up. She walked over to the stool next to Du Old Madam that was just added and sat down.

“Third miss, this arrogance of yours is sure big, to actually let old madam wait this long.” Fourth Yiniang said.

“Grandmother, I just came back from Sui Yuan Club today, and because was a little tired, ended up napping a while.

And thinking that I can’t come see grandmother unkempt, I thus spent some time tidying up.” Du Xiao Li was too

lazy to look at fourth yiniang, and just explained to Du Old Madam.

“I also heard about Sui Yuan Club being in charge of holding the competition between the countries this time. These

few days must have tired you out?” Du Old Madam said.

“It’s alright.” Du Xiao Li said with a smile, “For the most part, it’s father and Ding Wang taking care of everything.

I’m just coordinating with them.”

Du Old Madam looked to Du Xiao Li in satisfaction and said, “I’d heard Ke Xin and them mention Sui Yuan Club

before a few times, said that place frequently holds verse and poetry competitions, and is a considerably elegant

place. I never thought that, that was your place.”

Seeing the smile on Du Old Madam’s face, Du Xiao Li didn’t know how to describe her currently mood. After

learning about her parent’s past, to say she didn’t resent Du Old Madam was false. Although she didn’t scheme

against Su Su Xin, but if not for her supporting Zhong Mei Qing in attitude, when Su Su Xin was at home, she

wouldn’t have suffered that much either.

But disdaining the poor and loving the wealthy is a flaw that a big majority of people would all have, let alone in

this society.

When she’d just returned, her grandmother was very indifferent towards her. But now, knowing that she wasn’t

someone with nothing, her attitude towards her improved again. Although she taught Ying Ge not to speak

carelessly earlier, she was still in favor of her words inside. This Du Old Madam was just a greedy person!

But, no matter what, she was still her body’s grandmother. A portion of the blood flowing in this body was the same

as hers. As long as she didn’t go overboard, she still was able to accept her. The whole family being peaceful and

harmonious was always better than fighting to no end.

“Grandmother overpraises.” Du Xiao Li replied, “Don’t know for what reason did grandmother call this

granddaughter over for?”

“Oh, it’s like this, just now your fourth yiniang sent some incense sticks over, said it was from the south. There’s

quite a bit, and feeling that they smelled rather nice, I planned on giving you and your siblings each a share. Since

they have all gone to school, I plan on giving it to them at night. Earlier, I heard that you’d returned, thus wanted to

let you come over and pick out yourself, and also, let you help me see which ones are suitable for this old woman.”

Du Old Madam replied.

Du Xiao Li had saved Lu Jun Qi, and moreover an exception was made, and she got granted the title of imperial

physician. This matter has probably spread throughout the entire Feng Ming. Since Du Old Madam was in the

capital, she naturally also heard about it.

Du Xiao Li looked to the several boxes on the table next to Du Old Madam. Presumably, inside was precisely those

incense sticks. She picked up a box for a sniff, her gaze suddenly darkening.

These incense sticks doesn’t seem to be simple incense sticks.
