Chapter 885 Extra: Encountering an Old Friend (4)
Shu He looked back and sighed.
I never thought that I would meet someone I only met once again more than a year later. I can only say that it was fate.
She looked at Baili Ruyun and pleaded, "Third Princess, I can't stay in Yifang City for many more days. I'd like to ask you to help take care of this family. At least, make sure they have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and no one dares to cause trouble."
"Of course!" Baili Ruyun agreed readily.
"Princess, since you want to help them, why don't you help them in your own name?" Nanqi didn't understand.
He had also seen that old lady before. If that old lady had not denied Shu He's identity first, the difficult Qin Yian would never have given up so easily.
After leaving Taohua Village, we got on a carriage and started our journey back.
Shu He sat in the carriage, listening to Nan Qi's puzzled questions, and said with a faint smile: "People are always happy when they are content. Compared to a life of wealth and luxury, I think they are more suitable for a simple life."
"When people have money, they have free time, and when they have free time, they look for things to do. If they find something meaningful, it's fine. But if they are led astray and develop bad habits, they may make mistakes that cost them everything, and even destroy their family!"
"Are you worried that the family will pick up bad habits because of our power?" Nanqi was surprised, but he didn't think it was possible. The old lady seemed to be a good person, so it shouldn't be that bad, right?
Zhang Zhirou glanced at Shu He and probably guessed what she meant. "Sister isn't worried that the family will pick up any bad habits, but she doesn't want to add more risks to them. She hopes they can live a stable life. Right, Sister He?"
Shu He nodded, "That's about what I mean."
She just didn't want their family's life to change drastically because of her appearance.
In fact, a simple and prosperous life is what many people yearn for.
Anyway, this is the kind of life she will live in the future.
Yi Mei'er also said: "The princess has asked the third princess to take care of that family. I think they will not have a bad life in the future. For ordinary people, being able to live a prosperous life is already very good."
Shu He nodded and smiled, "That's right."
After returning from Yeshan, he heard the guard at the princess's mansion report that a man named Li Shen had come to see Shu He. When he learned that Shu He was not there, he left three copies of the plan and asked the guard to pass them on.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark.
When he looked up again, Baili Moqing came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup. He wore a half-apron over his crescent-white robe. There was some flour on his skirt, and even his handsome face was dotted with white powder.
Shu He put down the plan and couldn't help but smile, "Oh, cooking again? What kind of dark dish will you cook this time?"
Baili Moqing's cold face raised slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Don't underestimate me!"
"Tremella and lotus seed soup! I made it myself! I simmered it for two hours! It's so delicious!"
Shu He took the bowl of lotus seed soup with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth, thinking that it was too salty or too sweet, but unexpectedly, it tasted quite good!
She raised an eyebrow, a look of suspicion on her face, "Did you really do this?"
Why doesn't she believe it so much?
"Of course it is!" He snorted and squeezed into her chair. "Tell me, is it delicious?"
Shu He looked at his face covered in flour and said with a smile, "You don't need flour to make Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Are you sure you're making Lotus Seed Soup?"
Baili Moqing was speechless. "Is it really that good? It's just that when I was making lotus seed soup, I wanted to try making lotus crisps, but unexpectedly, it didn't work..."
Desserts are so hard to make!
Noticing his dejected look for the first time, Shu He couldn't help but laugh. "You're a world-class expert, but you have nothing to do all day and yet you're thinking about making sweet soup and snacks. What's going on? Do you want to be a househusband?"
What does "house husband?" mean?
Shu He ignored his surprise, put down the sweet soup, and looked at him, "You're being so attentive for no reason. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Shu He, why are you always so conspiratorial? I just want to be nice to you and make you something delicious. Why can't I do that?"
He snorted and looked like "I'm very unhappy"!
Shu He chuckled, "Are you remembering your awful attitude towards me that year at Anheju?"
"Of course not!" Someone, whose secret was touched, stood up from his chair guiltily, his voice sounding weak.
But in fact, it was because of Aunt Wu that Baili Moqing recalled the memories of his first encounter with Shu He and Yi'er.
At that time, he was indifferent to her. At that time, she was covered in blood for Yi'er. At that time, she chopped off a bandit's head without blinking in the snowy night...
Perhaps, at that time, he had felt some sympathy for her. Otherwise, how could he accept a strange woman and a child living in his yard? Moreover, he subconsciously did not want them to leave.
"Okay, if you say no, then no."
Shu He picked up the plan and continued reading it.
Li Shen's plan was pretty good. It was specific, comprehensive, and thoughtful. There were some ideas that she hadn't thought of.
No wonder he only sent me the plan today. It turns out he made three copies.
It's considered thoughtful.
Seeing how seriously she was looking at it, Baili Moqing felt a little disappointed.
He was such a handsome man in front of her, but she only cared about reading the plan!
No, he is the Prince Li, doesn’t he have this little charm?
He snatched the plan from her hand, hid it behind his back, and looked at her seriously, "You haven't told me yet, is this Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup delicious?"
He stewed two pots at once, but only this one was successful! He stewed for two hours, but all he got was such a dull reaction from her! He was unwilling to accept this!
She looked at him, with helplessness in her eyes.
Why did this man feel like he and her had switched genders? Aren't these kind of compliments usually said by girls to boys?
She picked up the sweet soup again and took two more sips carefully, looking as if she was tasting it.
After a long while, she said, "There's still room for improvement!"
"I think this lotus seed soup doesn't really show off your strength! Your Highness, why don't you make me a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds? I haven't eaten in a while, and I'm a little craving it."
"Spicy and sour potato shreds?" Baili Moqing was stunned for a moment, then said confidently, "No big deal! Just wait!"
"By the way, if I make the spicy and sour potato shreds you requested, then today, can I..."
Shu He glared at him and said, "No!"
