Miss, you really caught the wrong fish!

"Then...thank you, Brother Bai."

"No, no. We are all family, why should we have different opinions?"

Bai Yi continued the topic with a smile, but Xiao Lingxuan didn't say a word after that...

------

Wow, sorry guys, I'm really impressed. When I travel to the plateau, I have to do 24 things a day. I get up at 7 o'clock every day and spend the rest of the time in the car. Today I got up at 8 o'clock and took the car until 20 o'clock in the evening. During this time, I stopped to see the scenery for a while.

It's really like paying for sin. I feel uncomfortable all over now. I'm really sorry for updating so late???

76. Feel free to punish!

"Yi, go to the kitchen and wash the vegetables first. I will cook today."

Bai Yi, who was still chatting with Chao Lingxuan, suddenly froze in his tracks when he heard this. He turned his head blankly, as if he had heard something wrong, and opened his mouth to confirm.

"Madam, what did you just say? ...Madam, you...you want to cook today?"

Hearing Bai Yi's questioning tone, Xiao Junling's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he slowly walked towards Bai Yi who was sitting beside him. With his hands waving his sleeves, a red dress floated behind him. His cold and beautiful face was full of chillness, and his red lips slightly opened.

"Why not?"

"Um... Yes, yes, of course you can. It's rare that my wife wants to show off her cooking skills. I, your husband, am so happy. What's wrong with that? Haha..."

Looking at Xiao Junling, who was full of aura, Bai Yi didn't know what to say, so he could only pull his lips stiffly and smile helplessly...

As for why Bai Yi reacted so strongly when Xiao Junling mentioned cooking, it was because...

Since Bai Yi and Xiao Junling met and even got married, Bai Yi himself has only seen Xiao Junling cook once. That time, he even set the kitchen on fire and almost took away the love nest they had just built... So that was both the first and last time Xiao Junling cooked.

After such a thrilling experience, Bai Yi never dared to let Xiao Junling into the kitchen again. From then on, the title of a virtuous wife who "never touches the water of spring spring" was firmly established by Xiao Junling...

Bai Yi is a man and a doctor, but now he has such good cooking skills. Most of it should be attributed to Xiao Junling?

After the memories ended, Bai Yi began to think deeply.

Everything was fine just now, and everyone was chatting happily, why did my wife suddenly think of cooking? ...

Bai Yi looked at the three people who were still calm and composed, and couldn't help but feel a headache. It seemed that these three newcomers didn't understand the dangerous situation at all, and... he could even see a hint of... expectation in Xiao Lingxuan's eyes???

Brother-in-law, are you serious? How did you manage to eat that meal before???

What Bai Yi didn't know was that Chao Lingxuan was very interested in Xiao Junling's cooking. Even as a younger brother, he had never seen Chao Yao cook in all these years. Today was the first time he heard of it, so he was naturally looking forward to it.

However, Bai Yi, who knew the truth, was still sweating for the three people beside him. But he didn't dare to say anything more since his wife was right beside him...

Well, we can only take one step at a time.

After Bai Yi left the courtyard and went to the kitchen to prepare food, Xiao Junling looked at Qian Bing who was standing aside and said,

"Qianbing, you are good at cooking."

Upon hearing this, Qian Bing, who was standing by, showed a hint of embarrassment on her pretty face.

She was originally a cultivator, so apart from medicinal herbs and pills that were helpful to her body, blood, or cultivation, she would never have the time to try any earthly dishes. Moreover, with her cultivation level, she had already practiced fasting, so how could she possibly learn some skills that she would never use?

During the extra time she had on weekdays, unless His Highness called her to do something, Qian Bing would spend most of her time alone studying sword skills. So in terms of cooking skills alone, she might not be as good as Xiao Junling...

Qian Bing raised her hands and bowed slowly in response.

"I'm sorry Miss... I know nothing about this either."

Another negative answer.

This made Xiao Junling frown and feel a little dissatisfied. At this time, Ling Ying, who had been waiting on the side, suddenly stepped forward and said

"My Lady, my sister is always by your side, so she may not have the time to learn those earthly skills."

"However, Ling Ying has made some progress in cooking. She should be able to replace her sister and share your worries."

Xiao Junling looked at Ling Ying who wanted to redeem herself from her crime, hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. Then he said coldly to Qian Bing behind him:

"Go to the kitchen and wash the vegetables. Is that impossible?"

"No! I'll go right away, miss..."

At this moment, Qian Bing's pretty face was slightly distorted, full of self-blame and regret. She naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Junling's words. She had angered His Highness because of her incompetence. If possible, she really wanted to summon her sword and hit herself hard with it!

Yan Jinqianbing did not dare to delay any longer and headed straight in the direction Bai Yi had just left.

……

"Hmm? Miss Qianbing, why are you here?"

Seeing Qian Bing suddenly appear in the kitchen, Bai Yi asked with some confusion, and the latter bowed respectfully and responded softly.

"It was the young lady who specifically asked me to help in the kitchen..."

"I... am not good at cooking, so I can only do some auxiliary chores. If there is anything I did not do well, please let me know. You can do whatever you want with Qianbing!"

"what?"

Bai Yi was stunned when he heard Qian Bing's words which were vague and a little excited.

I just helped to sort out the food, is it that serious? What's the point of "disposing of it at random"...

"Haha... Miss Qianbing, you are too serious. It's just washing vegetables. It's no big deal—"

"No! This is not a small matter. If Qianbing has done anything wrong, you can punish her! Qianbing is just a servant. You can punish me however you want."

Before Bai Yi finished speaking, Qian Bing became even more excited. He walked directly in front of Bai Yi, his words full of self-blame and slander.

Obviously, she has already recognized Bai Yi as her own prince. It was precisely because of Xiao Junling's previous dislike and dissatisfaction that Qian Bing constantly blamed herself in her heart and even extremely hated herself.

It was also because of this that she tried her best to ask Bai Yi to punish herself on behalf of Xiao Junling's will, in order to numb her own sense of guilt.

"...?"

Bai Yi was stunned when he heard this, looking at Qian Bing who was not much different from what he remembered two years ago. On the outside, he was still as handsome and graceful as ever, tall and plump without losing his temperament...

She is clearly a beautiful woman now, why has she changed so much in two years?!

The explosive speech just now was totally unlike what a gentle and virtuous lady like Qianbing would say... Bai Yi didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only push the basket in front of him towards Qianbing and said with a stiff smile.

"Then, please wash these vegetables, Miss Qianbing... If there is anything you don't understand in the kitchen, just ask me."

Even Bai Yi himself did not expect that this girl in front of him, who seemed to be well-educated and well-mannered, was actually an idiot at cooking like his wife...

Um...so we have to say, "Birds of a feather flock together, and birds of a feather flock together." Like master, like servant.

I just hope nothing unexpected happens next time. It's just washing vegetables... there's no way anything unexpected will happen, right?

……

Qian Bing, who was standing by, heard this and her pretty face instantly lost color, and her eyes became dim and confused. She stiffly took the basket of vegetables handed to her by Bai Yi.

"Okay, okay"

……Um?

Bai Yi felt something was wrong the more he looked at it. What on earth was going on with Qian Bing's extremely disappointed expression?!

--------

Since this book was published, I have encountered many problems. From time to time, readers come to criticize it. However, Xiao Xuanzi is a very stubborn person. I don't want others to interfere with my own story. I will naturally listen to reasonable opinions.

But today, some readers even asked

"I don't like this character, it's disgusting, can you please not write his scenes?"

Moreover, he sent four or five messages at a time in my comments. Other readers tried to dissuade him but he still "fought with reason" and even replied to my messages for more than ten times.

The general meaning is "I paid, why can't I ask for anything"

All I can say is that many people are paying to read it, and I can't influence other readers for the sake of one person.

If you spend a few cents to read a few VIP chapters and find that they are really not to your taste, it is recommended that you don't waste the money and use it to find other good books and read them slowly.

I'm sorry that these complaints may have taken up a penny of your money, welcome to the comment section to poke me??

77. I'll grab a potato from you

"Miss Qianbing, are you okay?"

Bai Yi was busy with the work at hand, and then his eyes slowly glanced at Qian Bing who was washing vegetables at the side. The latter just stared blankly at the stone pool, unconsciously washing something in her hands...

Hearing this, Qian Bing slowly raised his head, showing a lifeless smile, and said softly

"Thank you for your concern, uncle... Qianbing is fine."

"..."

Bai Yi looked at the potatoes in her hand that had turned into mashed potatoes and fell into deep thought...

You call this nothing?

Hey--

Bai Yi sighed helplessly, and came to Qian Bing's side and took the vegetable basket.

If I let her continue to wash like this, I'll have nothing to eat today.

Then Bai Yi smiled politely.

"Miss Qianbing, are you feeling unwell?"

"Why don't you go take a rest first, and leave this to me."

Qianbing, who had been in a trance, looked at her empty hands. Her dark eyes suddenly became empty again, and a look of struggle and pain suddenly appeared on her beautiful face.

Qian Bing looked up at Bai Yi in disbelief, looking at the basket he had just snatched from her hands...

A cloud of mist accumulated in her eye sockets, her cherry lips kept trembling, and her pretty eyebrows kept curling up. Her pretty face was full of grievance, as if she was about to cry in the next second. She lowered her voice and tried to keep her emotions stable, but even so, her voice still had a slight tremor.

"Son-in-law also thinks Qianbing is very, very useless, right?..."

"what?"

Bai Yi looked puzzled

Seeing Qian Bing about to cry, Bai Yi froze in place, still holding the basket in his hand, and was at a loss for a moment.

No, no, wasn't she fine just now? Why did she burst into tears all of a sudden?? Just because I took her job???

Even Bai Yi himself was a little bit unbelievable. Qian Bing, the mature lady in front of him, was a cultivator. In Bai Yi's eyes, she had always been a gentle, reasonable and reliable elder sister. But...

Now she was so aggrieved that she almost cried in front of him... and it was just because he had just snatched her vegetable basket??!

but……

But this can't be blamed on him, right!? If Bai Yi didn't grab the basket himself, they would have nothing to eat today!

...But there's no point in thinking about these things now. The most important thing right now is to comfort Qianbing as soon as possible. If she really starts crying, it will be a disaster.

Bai Yi smiled gently and then said softly

"That...haha, Miss Qianbing, that's not what I meant. How could a virtuous woman like Miss Qianbing be useless? That's it, that's it..."

Qian Bing, who was empty-handed, listened to the hesitant words of her uncle in front of her, as if confirming her previous guess -

She is a useless, dispensable person to both His Highness and the son-in-law...

When she thought of this, the pillar of support in her heart collapsed like a landslide, and her heart of faith was also constantly shaken. It seemed that a cold voice was constantly questioning the meaning and value of her survival...

Tears flowed out of her eyes like scattered jade beads, and her beautiful eyes, which were once full of spirit, suddenly became dim... Qianbing's lips trembled, and she whispered something unconsciously...

Bai Yi was shocked when he saw this scene and froze in his place.

No, no, did I say something wrong? Why are you really crying? What’s going on?!

Bai Yi looked around in panic, racking his brains but not knowing what to do, so he quickly took out a potato from the basket he had just snatched, stuffed it into Qian Bing's hand, and continued to coax her.

"Don't cry, Miss Qianbing. If you like, you can wash it as you like, okay?"

Qian Bing stared blankly at the potato in his hand, then looked up at Bai Yi in front of him, choked up and took a deep breath.

Then I cried even louder...

"Um???"

"Ah? No, why???"

Bai Yi was dumbfounded. He had already returned the potatoes to her, so why did Qian Bing cry even louder?
