Chapter 227: Attacking His Shortcomings With Her Ability
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ning Anhui wasn’t studying in the academy, so he wasn’t afraid of Dean Lu. When he heard this, he even leaned over curiously. “Oh, you’re talking about sponge cake? This is already my sister’s early work. The new product is even better. Why don’t you try it, Sir?”
As he spoke, he even guided him. “For example, look at the light purple sandwich in the middle of this Taro Cake Roll. They’re all processed from taro, but the texture is very different from what we usually eat. Look at this Mianmian Cake. If not for the fact that the cream is too difficult to preserve, my sister would definitely pack the Cloud Cake for you. The texture is really like a cloud. It won’t be sweet or greasy when it enters your mouth. Also, this small biscuit is soft and crispy. It has any texture you want and is convenient to preserve. My brother and Zhao Yan like to bring it to school every day.”
“Oh, right. They seemed to have brought a portion for…” Teacher Chen today.
“Cough, cough, cough.” Chen Yong coughed lightly and interrupted Ning Anhui. He still looked serious. “Teacher, don’t eat too much. You still have to eat later.”
Dean Lu stuffed another biscuit into his mouth in front of him. His eyes were filled with the anger of an old child. Chen Yong’s expression did not change. He turned around and asked Ning Anhui, “Did your family make all these? It’s a pity that you don’t open a snack shop with your skills.”
Ning Anhui narrowed his eyes and smiled. “This gentleman really has good taste. To be honest, my family really opened a shop outside the academy. It’s called ‘So It’s You’.”
Dean Lu pondered for a moment. “This name is quite interesting.”
Ning Anhui immediately turned his head. “Of course. My sister gave it that name!”
After thinking for a moment, he added, “My sister made the snacks herself. She came up with every novel method herself. Isn’t she awesome?”
Seeing that his brother was about to start bragging about his sister again, Ning Ansheng pulled him back and cupped his hands at Dean and Chen Yong. “I’m sorry, we only have this one sister in our family. We’re used to praising her, so he couldn’t hold back for a moment.”
Dean Lu and Xiaoxiao couldn’t tell if he was being modest or affirming Ning Anhui’s words. At this moment, Mrs. Shen and Xiaoxiao finished looking at the flowers and plants. They guessed that the men had finished chatting and came back together.
Dean Lu turned around. “It’s you?”
Xiaoxiao focused on her memories. “Ah, Uncle, it’s you.”
The others were stunned. “You two know each other?”
Xiaoxiao briefly explained what happened with Lei Shaoming outside the academy back then. She heard that she used unfamiliar words to embarrass Lei Shaoming. Shen Tianci, who knew about this for the first time, could not help but laugh out loud. “What did you think of this trick?”
Xiaoxiao shrugged. “He clearly wants to find trouble with me and won’t let it go easily. I don’t read as many books as him. Since I have a choice, of course I’ll use my strengths to attack his weaknesses.”
Shen Tianci was a little anxious and tried his best to give her a look. The teacher and Dean of the academy were still watching. NingXiaoxiao, is it really okay for you to be so direct?!
Of course, Xiaoxiao knew that the two of them were listening, but Dean Lu had participated in the entire incident that day and was already clear about it. As for the teacher who taught the law, he used to be the clerk for the chamberlain of law enforcement. With her little thoughts, she could not hide it even if she wanted to, okay?
Instead of covering it up, it was better to tell the truth. At least she could leave an honest impression.
However, she naturally had to say everything she needed to say. “I definitely won’t cheat people usually, but he doesn’t come with good intentions. I can’t just accept it.”
She was right. Because of this sincere explanation, Dean Lu and Chen Yong had a better impression of her. At the dining table, they even said that they would visit her shop in the future.
Xiaoxiao only thanked her with a smile, but County Magistrate Shen and Mrs. Shen exchanged a tacitly evil smile. Did Dean Lu and Senior Brother Chen think that Xiaoxiao, a farm girl, would have a poor business?
After the meal, the adults were in the mood to study again. However, for the sake of efficiency, they each took one away. Unfortunately, Shen Tianci was chosen by the big boss. When he followed Dean Lu into the study, he wanted to die. Ning Ansheng and Chen Yong went away together. It felt similar to going to the academy.
County Magistrate Shen said that he wanted to discuss a few articles with Rong Yan. Xiaoxiao saw through it but did not say anything. She even reminded Little Big Brother to ask about the genius doctor.
Yun Yi followed him out of habit and only retreated with a frown when he was stopped. Xiaoxiao comforted him very well. “Don’t worry, the Shen Residence is safe.”
Yun Yi said with a smile, “Miss Ning, you must be joking. What’s there for me to worry about? Master is just studying. There’s nothing unsafe about it.”
Xiaoxiao did not point out that he was exposing himself. She just skipped to the garden with Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen planted many beautiful flowers and plants in the backyard. What she lacked was a target to show off. This time, she praised herself for catching Xiaoxiao. This made Xiaoxiao look forward to the seedling in the space that had yet to be seen.
The space liked to be mysterious. It really didn’t give any notes before the seeds grew up.
Neither of them noticed that Yun Yi’s expression was too dark, not far behind them.
Did Miss Ning guess something?
He lowered his eyes. It seemed that his master was not lying when he said that Miss Ning was smart.
Through the conversation between Master and Miss Ning these few days, he already knew that Master had taken out the banknotes to buy the mountain with Miss Ning. Master was such a cautious person, but he made an exception for Miss Ning again and again. It could be seen how much influence she had on Master.
In the hall, County Magistrate Shen went around the small door and took Rong Yan to the place where the young man was recuperating. There were many guards outside the door, and no one could come in without County Magistrate Shen’s order.
The young man had indeed woken up once, but he was exhausted now and fell asleep again.
Rong Yan went straight to the point. “Did you get anything out of him?”
County Magistrate Shen answered, “He mentioned some bamboo slips. We’ve searched him, but we didn’t find it.”
Although Gongsun Zhongjing’s medical skills were outstanding, he was still a human after all, not a god. The young man’s qi and blood were deficient. It could be said that he had wandered around the King of Hell’s Palace several times. It was already rare for him to recover to his current state.
Rong Yan and County Magistrate Shen were not unreasonable people, so they didn’t rush or blame him. Instead, they brought him a box of snacks prepared by Xiaoxiao.
Since he let Gongsun Zhongjing participate in the young man’s treatment, it was not appropriate for him to leave the Shen Family for the time being. This was for the young man and also for Gongsun Zhongjing himself. Yan Lu was ruthless and would not care about the reputation of a genius doctor.
Fortunately, Old Mrs. Li’s treatment had come to an end and the prescription had been prescribed. The follow-up treatment could not be carried out without Old Mrs. Li’s cooperation. Therefore, what the Li Family needed to do now was to ask the Li Family to persuade that stubborn Old Mrs. Li. Otherwise, County Magistrate Shen would not be able to handle them.
He paced back and forth. “Who was the first to discover this young man back then? Perhaps we can find the whereabouts of the bamboo slip if we ask.”
Rong Yan pondered. Even in front of County Magistrate Shen, he didn’t plan to drag Xiaoxiao into the mess.
“It’s me..”
