Yuezheng Xiao was shocked as well.
His sister-in m law was really bold and full of ideas.
Then, he realized that she was not an ordinary woman. She had read a lot and was very smart. She loved to think broadly and could come up with so many delicious things to cook. Tea bricks might be her specialty as well.
Some people could be good at something that no one else was able to surpass.
After the paper was given to Yuezheng Xiao, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan left according to the original plan.
They could not be away from home for too long during this season of the year.
First Madame was unwilling to see them leave but there was no choice. She ordered the kitchen to prepare a lot of things for them to eat on the way, and did not release Qiao Xuan’s hands for a long while.
They had five wagons on the way back home. They didn’t contain much luggage, but there were many people.
Yuezheng Xiao had arranged it all, and Qu Shan led the way.
However, not long after they left the gate, Ms. Mi Junior’s servant, Auntie Mao, stopped the wagon.
“Please, Young Master Shao, Mrs. Shao. Our Madame has a present to give to you. Hence, I am waiting for you here.”
Soon after, a maid came forward with a huge box.
Qiao Xuan did not take it but smiled. “Thanks, Aunt, please tell Second Madame that we have accepted her kindness, but we don’t need the present.”
“That’s kind of you, Mrs. Shao!” Auntie Mao smiled, as she led forward a girl in her teens.
The girl was wearing a light pink embroidered dress, with a slender waist, petite and exquisite. She had charming and beautiful facial features, especially a pair of eyes, which were particularly enticing.
Auntie Mao led her forward. The girl threw a glance at Shao Yunduan, then she lowered her head, showing a snowy white neck and beautiful face, looking rather attractive.
Qiao Xuan, ‘
She understood what was going on.
Qiao Xuan suddenly felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
She threw a look at Shao Yunduan and sneered, waiting for Auntie Mao to make her speech.
“Young Master Shao.” Auntie Mao smiled. “This is Li Yun, a present our Second Madame gave to Young Master Shao so that you can study well. You need to have a smart maid next to you, right? Please, accept it, Young Master Shao.”
Li Yun put on an even more bashful posture and bowed at Shao Yunduan. “Greetings, Young Master! ”
Auntie Mao smiled. “Get onto the wagon. Do remember to serve Young Master Shao. From this day on, you are Young Master Shao’s girl!’
“Yes, Auntie! ”
The whole scene made Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan and Qu Shan turn dumbfounded.
Auntie Mao did not think that Shao Yunduan would turn her down.
All men liked beautiful women, especially scholars who loved to have charming girls to keep them company when they read.
Li Yun was young, beautiful, and lively. No man would turn her down, especially someone like Shao Yunduan, who was from an ordinary family. He would definitely want to have someone like her next to him.
Shao Yunduan understood what was going on. But this was the first time he learned about something like this.
He flushed and said, “Wait a moment! I don’t need her. Please take her back, thanks.’
Li Yun was startled climbing midway onto the wagon..
