o grandma's lips, hoping to cheer her up.But then, Kazayama rushed in from outside and leaned close to Ye Gongzi's ear, whispering a few words.Young Master Ye's face turned pale, and the spoon in his...Jia Yin gave Shui Ling and Shui Yun behind her a look, just about to quietly slip away, when the door to the private room swung open.

Lu Cong smiled and took the tray, saying, "I smelled a strange fragrance and guessed that Miss Jun had made something delicious again!"

"Smiling gracefully, Jia Yin responded, "Earlier my older brothers brought back a kind of coffee bean from overseas to make into drinks. The taste is quite unique. I prepared two cups for you to try. Did I interrupt your conversation"

At this moment, the third princess also leaned over and smiled, “What kind of coffee beans Why does it smell a bit bitter and fragrant Wouldn't it be burnt”

As she was speaking, coffee was brought into the room, and Jia Yin also sat down at the doorway.

The third princess took just one sip and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, exclaiming, "Oh my! What is this It looks like milk tea, but the taste is terrible!"

As for Lu Zong, he took a sip, savored it carefully, and praised, "It's not bad. It's bitter at first, but the aftertaste is very mellow."

The third princess, after taking a sip, pushed the cup away and complained to Jia Yin, "Could this be a new product they're about to release It's so awful, would anyone buy it"

Gia Yin rolled her eyes at him and said, "No taste! Besides sweet things, what else could you possibly like"

"Besides, this isn't for you. It's for those customers who need to stay up all night studying. A cup of coffee beats a pot of strong tea, keeping your mind extremely alert all night long!"

"Really That effective" Lu Cong was surprised and replied, "Then I'll buy a cup to take back later."

Jia Yin instructed, "Then I'll tell Peng the shopkeeper to bring you some coffee powder. Whenever you want to drink it, just pour hot water over it, add warm milk and whipped cream, and stir well."

"Okay, thank you, younger sister Princess," Lu Cong readily agreed without being polite.

The Third Princess laughed, "Brother Lu, don't be so polite. Jia Yin has already given it to you. She needs this coffee to make money, you know!"

Lu Congxiao sighed helplessly, "I knew her when she was just five or six years old. Every time the county princess prepared things for her brother, I had a share. If it was politeness, then there were simply too many to count."

However, this time I really can't take it for nothing. My family's caretaker found a pair of chicken blood stones some days ago, the color is particularly good.

"Tomorrow, I will have someone send it to the palace. The princess and countess can take turns playing with it, and we'll have seals made for each of them, one for each person would be more suitable."

"Really" The Third Princess was immediately coaxed into a smile, and replied, "Then Jia Yin and I will be waiting! It happens that I need a small seal!"

Jia Yin wanted to decline, but the third princess accepted, so she followed suit and thanked them.

As the sky was getting dark, Shuǐyún reminded everyone.

The Third Princess bid farewell to Lu Zong with reluctance, holding onto Jia Yin's hand as they left the carriage and returned to the palace.

As the carriage door hadn't even closed, Cat Brother arrived with a food box in hand.

"Sister, sister, wait!" Meowger stopped the carriage, panting and gripping the reins.

Jia Yin quickly leaned out and asked in surprise, "Young master, where did you come from I thought you were still with Sixth Brother!"

"Meow, little sister," said the cat as he waved his paw and handed her a food bowl. "I just got back and was planning on going to our family restaurant for a meal."

As a result, Second Brother knew you were here and rushed to cook two of your favorite dishes for you. Let me bring them over.

"Have pity on me, I'm starving and still have to bring you food. Along the way, my mouth is watering so much it would form a river."

Jiayin couldn't help but laugh. She quickly took out a big, pink peach from her bag and gave it to her brother, coaxing him, "You're the best little brother, you spoil me so much. I'll be back in two days, and I'll make you roast duck spring rolls in the oven, okay"

"Haha, that's about right." Meow Ge'er was the youngest of the brothers, accustomed to acting cute. He wasn't truly complaining on his sister's behalf for being tired, ah.

He was overjoyed at receiving the big peaches and hearing that his younger sister had specially prepared roasted duck for him, his face immediately broke into a smile.

After some casual chat, Cat Brother went into Baiyun Hall to fetch some snacks. Jia Yin and the Third Princess then got in a carriage and left.

The third princess was filled with envy, she hugged Jiayin's arm and pouted, "Oh, why am I so unlucky, I don't even have a brother. I wish someone would treat me like that too!"

Jia Yin playfully said, “Don't worry, whether or not you have a brother doesn't matter. You already have a husband who cares for you!”

Princess unwillingly sighed, her expression filled with confusion.

"Jiayin, do you think Lu Ge really likes me Although he's a good person and treats me well, I... always feel like there's something between us, it's not quite comfortable."

Jiayin didn't take it seriously. She raised her hand to open the food box and glanced at the dishes inside, casually replying, "You guys have only met a few times, how can you talk about liking or disliking each other."

"Over time, as we spend more time together, feelings will develop naturally. Besides, even if there aren't any feelings, treating each other with respect is not a bad thing."

On this day, few couples were deeply in love with each other. Most were simply harmonious, living peaceful and ordinary lives.

"Besides, Brother Lu seems like a good person. He doesn't look like the kind of rough man who would beat his wife. "

"Even if you were a princess, someone would love and cherish you. Even if not, you'd still have food and shelter and live a carefree life. What are you afraid of"

This is truly… direct and insightful!

As soon as the Third Princess had brewed up a touch of melancholy, it was immediately dispersed.

She stopped pretending and reached into the food box, grabbing a piece of braised pork. She threw it into her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, “Your second brother's cooking skills are getting better and better! Let’s have some steamed white rice from the kitchen, and we’ll eat this braised pork together!”

"Greedy kitty, don't even think about it! My second brother made this especially for me. You, a princess, have the audacity to rob my dinner"

"Shame on me, I'm ashamed! If you don't feed me, I'll just stay in your house!"

The two young ladies were playing and giggling all the way.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace gates. On ordinary days, the guards would have made way upon hearing it was the princess's carriage.

But today was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The guards insisted that the Third Princess and Jia Yin get out of the carriage to inspect it inside and out.

Although Princess Three and Jiayin were unhappy, they guessed that something must have happened in the palace, so they got off the carriage.

As a result, three or four soldiers, wielding long spears, stabbed not only under the carriage but also inside it.

Even the finely woven cushions, soft bedding, and even the small tea table and tea set were picked apart and left in disarray.

The third princess was immediately angered. This was blatant provocation!

Before she could speak, a soldier actually picked up the food box containing fairy-lily again and raised his hand to smash it on the ground.

Jia Yin saw that they were coming aggressively, and she regretted letting them check the vehicle earlier.

She stood beside him all this while, witnessing the scene. As she saw what was happening, she stepped forward and snatched the food box from his hand, scolding him in a sharp voice, "Be outrageous! What are you doing!"

That soldier was taken aback and about to retort, when Shui Ling darted forward and slapped him hard across the face.r heart pounded with fear.Is the Li family trying to repay their debt all at once and then sever all tiesThat's out of the question!Even if she and the young lady fled to relatives, they still need so...
