The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 245
After everything was tidied up, it was almost dark, and when Xuemei explained to the lotus, Xiaoyun was a little confused.

After pursing her lips, she mustered up her courage and said to Xuemei who was about to leave: "Sister Xuemei, can I stay here with Miss Lotus for one night?"

She actually wanted to stay here for one more night. After all, she was said to be an orphan since she was a child. Now that she has a brother, she wants to stay and cook a meal for him.

Xuemei was taken aback when she heard that, Xiaoyun is no longer a servant of the palace, and she can't control the people who the princess treats with courtesy.

So he smiled and said, "Okay, isn't your brother here? You haven't lived together for so many years, you can stay for two more days."

Seeing that Xuemei agreed, Xiaoyun, who was still a little bit tangled, was overjoyed, and said, "Sister Xie Xuemei."

Xuemei bowed back, smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned and left, and Xiao Yun hurriedly went out to see him off, and only turned back to the shop when he saw the carriage out of sight.

"Lotus girl."

Xiaoyun's voice startled the lotus who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. When she raised her head, she saw Xiaoyun who had just entered.

Looking at each other, Xiaoyun saw the tears on the cheeks of the lotus, and the smile on his face disappeared for a while, and was replaced by concern.

While wiping the tears on her cheeks, Lotus moved to the side and sat at the end of the bed.

Xiaoyun lowered her head and pursed her lips. She didn't want to mention He Hua's sadness in front of He Hua, the more she mentioned it, the more sad she became.

After thinking for a while, she raised her head to look at the lotus who was sniffling, and said, "Miss Hehua, we haven't eaten yet tonight, and the kitchen has some fresh food. Come to the kitchen and do me a favor."

After hearing this, He Hua quickly stood up, nodded and said, "Okay."

After entering the kitchen, Lotus is in charge of lighting the fire, and Xiaoyun is in charge of cooking.

When the rice is almost steamed, take off the lid and blow into it, the sound of the sound means the rice is cooked.

After working for more than half an hour, it was finally time to eat. Two stir-fried dishes, one cabbage tofu soup, a very simple dinner was ready.

It's cold outside in winter, so I set up a small table in the kitchen. The kitchen has heat, so that it won't be cold when eating, and the dishes won't be cold easily.

"Miss Lotus, wait a moment, I'll call my brother." Xiao Yun ran to Li Maonian's room after saying that.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Brother? It's time to eat."

Xiaoyun called to the inside, and after a while the door opened, and Li Maonian, who was dressed in black, still had two knives pinned to his waist, but he didn't wear a bamboo hat and mask, so that people could see his face clearly at a glance.

His facial features are upright and tough, no worse than those young men from aristocratic families outside, but his skin is a little rough due to the wind and sun.

Xiaoyun took a half step back subconsciously after being slightly startled, her brother always gave her a feeling that strangers should not get close to her, with a stern face and no superfluous expressions.

She wanted to get close to this brother, but in her heart she felt that this brother was difficult to get close to.

Because of nervousness, she repeated again: "Brother eat."

"En." Li Mao replied young, although his attitude seemed cold and calm, but it was his rare gentleness for so many years.

Feeling uncomfortable after a meal, Xiaoyun would look up at Li Maonian from time to time, and Li Maonian would feel a little strange, but he didn't say anything.

Lotus just bury her head in eating by herself, she doesn't know her place well, and she doesn't talk much.

After the meal, He Hua took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Xiao Yun also cleaned up the kitchen together. After everything was done, he found Li Maonian practicing the long knife in the courtyard.
