The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 195 What a wonderful little brother!

Because Gu Yunqi was still there, the others remained silent and sipped their porridge quietly.

Seeing that they were all drinking, Gu Yunqi thought that the slender girl must have drunk some too, and he felt even more proud, as if he had done a great thing.

He carried the burnt pot back home contentedly, while Helian Zhiyan wrinkled her nose and kept her distance from him.

Ugh, it's all mushy and has a bitter smell.

Gu Yunqi proudly raised his chin at her, "Little millet porridge, no problem!"

Helian Zhiyan glanced at them sympathetically. They should all be alright, right?

Seeing that Gu Yunqi had already gone back, Mu Zhuangzi finally spoke. He gulped down several mouthfuls of water before cleaning the bits of undercooked rice stuck to his teeth.

"Second Miss, this porridge from Young Master Wang is truly..."

It’s hard to describe in one word!

He said it himself, something seemed off!

Xia Yunshu glanced at him and said, "You're lucky to have anything to eat, what are you complaining about?"

She silently shed tears in her heart; she never expected that the porridge could be made so poorly.

But she had to ask for it, and the person who came with such good intentions! She couldn't say anything negative!

She picked up the unfinished, unidentified steamed bun and continued munching on it, vowing that she would definitely learn how to make porridge when she got back.

So the reason my sister stopped eating after a few bites wasn't because she was full, but because it didn't taste good!

Xia Yunshu burst into tears; she had been trying to stuff the food into Xia Yunsheng's mouth.

She rummaged through the basket containing food, trying to find something else for Xia Yunsheng, but all she had were these hard steamed buns and a few hard flatbreads.

This place doesn't look like it has any living things; the leaves are withered and the grass on the ground is yellow.

Just as she was worrying, a small, white hand was stretched out in front of her. "Big sister, give big sister some of this. You don't need to exchange it for anything."

Helian Zhiyan sighed like a little adult and placed a small piece of braised beef and a few pastries that she had wrapped in her hand on her lap.

It's amazing that these people can actually drink Brother Yunqi's porridge. Just looking at the burnt pot made her head hurt.

I feel sorry for that sick older sister... (three numbers)

She was initially reluctant to share the food, but Sister Luo Zhi had told her something about "girls help girls".

Although I don't quite understand, the general idea is that the young lady should help the young lady, and since Sister Luo Zhi said it wouldn't be meddling in other people's business.

Xia Yunshu pouted, almost crying. What an adorable little brother! So kind! His family must have raised him very well!

The child didn't understand, but she, as an adult, couldn't be so rude. She took out the box from earlier and forcefully shoved it into Helian Zhiyan's arms, saying, "Little brother, this is yours, you must keep it."

Helian Zhiyan accepted the box without hesitation, smiling as she hugged it to her chest. "We need to get going now, sister, remember to make sure that brother stays close by!"

She pointed at Ling Chi, her eyes involuntarily drifting to his legs.

Hmm, Sister Luo Zhi's saying that men with long legs are reliable seems to be true. They've been following their carriage for so long without losing track of them.

Xia Yunshu awkwardly touched her nose. Had they found out again? She'd have to talk to her father when she got back and tell Ling Chi to get some proper training.

How come their tracking skills have deteriorated so much?

Helian Zhiyan carried the box back, and halfway there she turned around and glanced at Xia Yunsheng, who was being helped off the cart and sitting there.

Even after getting into the carriage, Gu Yunqi was still boasting about how delicious the porridge he had cooked was.

Helian Zhiyan, who had previously looked down on him, became a cheerleader, clapping her hands and echoing, "So amazing! My brothers are all awesome!"

Gu Yunqi praised himself even more enthusiastically, to the point that Helian Yue, who was driving outside, couldn't bear to listen anymore.

After they had run a little further away, Xia Yunshu and her group set off. Feng Qian pushed the cart and asked in a low voice, "Second Miss, is it really okay to give that thing to that little guy?"

Inside the box was a peacock feather. The manor lord had said that if you had it, you could ask Snowfall Manor for help three times.

He felt there was no need to give away the peacock feather since he had already given away the jade pendant.

Xia Yunshu smacked her lips, savoring the sweet and sour candy in her mouth, and squinted her eyes in bliss.

She hadn't had any snacks since she came out, so the candy the little guy gave her was really nice.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Without their medicine, it's hard to say whether my sister would have gotten better."

"It's given, so be it. Father said he only recognizes the person, not the peacock feather."

It's just a token; if she recognizes the person, she won't make a mistake.

Furthermore, if the other party were a bad person, they would have already taken action against them; it's not like this hasn't happened before.

They gave us medicine and food, so for those two reasons alone, it was well worth it.

She hadn't had a chance to ask where those three bottles of medicine came from, and with such good effects, they probably wouldn't be cheap.

Feng Qian nodded. There were too many wolves in sheep's clothing. The second young lady was inexperienced and he was afraid she would be deceived.

He was just a servant, and even if the master valued him highly, he could not lose his sense of propriety.

Inside the carriage, Helian Zhiyan would occasionally lift the curtain and take out the binoculars that Wen Luozhi had given her to look back.

"Brother, slow down! The tall guy behind us is running out of time to mark the way!"

When Gu Yunqi heard that he had reduced the force of whipping the horse, Helian Yue, sitting in the carriage, felt a little worried.

They would split into two groups that night. If these people followed him and Gu Yunqi, they could easily shake them off.

What if we follow a carriage? What if these people have ill intentions?

"Xiao Yan, how about letting Brother Yunqi go back to Shanquan Village with you?"

He thought about it and decided that they should personally take the little girl back, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

Helian Zhiyan put the telescope into her small cloth bag.

"No, brother has important things to do. It's fine if I go with the shadowy figures."

The shadowy figure is the head of the secret guards, and the others are no less capable. Now that she's disguised, no one can recognize her.

Helian Yue didn't respond immediately. Helian, with her childlike face, patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Yunqi's people are also protecting me, so don't worry, brother."

"We'll escort her for a while and then come back," Gu Yunqi said softly from outside.

Both groups are quite skilled, and with other people providing backup along the way, there shouldn't be any problems.

Seeing Helian Yue's brow furrow slightly, Helian Zhiyan chuckled and whispered a few words in his ear.

Helian Yue was completely relieved after hearing this; with the things Luo'er had given him, there was an extra layer of protection.

He wondered why the little girl carried that cute cloth bag that Luo'er made for her every day, thinking it was just a simple liking.

It turned out the bag contained what she called the "ultimate weapon."

Gu Yunqi pricked up his ears outside and could only hear Helian Zhiyan's buzzing voice.

"What were you two talking about just now? Tell me about it later," he said, poking his head in with a curious look.

"Brother, you drive the carriage so well! Brother, watch your step carefully!"

Gu Yunqi pouted, "Fine, I won't tell you then, hmph."

He glanced back and slowed down a bit more.

Xia Yunsheng felt much better on the cart than in the morning; the ride wasn't as bumpy.

With the medicine in hand, she's in excellent spirits now, and the thought of the undercooked rice porridge she ate at noon makes her want to laugh.

"Xiao Shu, you didn't tell Young Master Wang about the rice porridge he made..."

"It tastes good, doesn't it?"

Thinking that he was her savior, Xia Yunsheng smiled but didn't say it directly.
