Chapter 989: Chapter 987_1

In the entire house, Xi’er only listened to Xiao’er. When Xiao’er spoke like this, she earnestly nodded, "I understand, my mission now is to recognize all the herbs and poisons in this world and then create the most poisonous poison! To become a prominent poison master!"

Everyone: "...."

The first half of what she said sounded really great, how come there was such a drastic change towards the end! Shouldn’t it be about becoming a good doctor who helps the world? A renowned poison master? What is the point of that?!

Can’t really have a conversation with this girl. Her thoughts are not even on the same planet as everyone else’s!

Xiao’er didn’t pick up on her words. This girl has an exceptionally high talent in both medicine and poisons, even Doctor Luo said she has a rare gift! It’s just that her interest lies in poison. Luckily, she doesn’t create chaos for fun, she hasn’t tried to poison anyone yet, just let the servants catch some rats for her to experiment with.

Probably every rat in the Imperial Capital purposely take a detour when they see the Marquis Mansion and its estates!

The rats thought to themselves: fight or kill, but this back and forth with poisoning is too troublesome for them!

Xiao’er said to Zhu Yan and Jingrui, "Big brother, on the day of the wedding, you return home right after crossing the flower bridge, once you’ve paid respects to Heaven and Earth, the flower carriage provided by the restaurant will bring you and Sister Yan straight here, then you two will...."

Xiao’er simplified the wedding process and then asked everyone to rehearse a bit.

"What is a rehearsal?" Zhu Yan asked, confused.

"That’s when we all practice what we’re supposed to do at the wedding. Come on, everyone to their positions! Everyone has to play their part. Mother, Aunt Zhu, you sit here. Big brother, you stand up there anxiously awaiting for your bride and that’s it!"

Having heard this, Jingrui glanced at everybody’s teasing gazes, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed, but still nodded his head stiffly.

Weddings are a big deal, and this style of wedding has never been done before, rehearsing is a good idea.

"When the music starts, uncle Zhu will lead out Sister Yan from there on the red carpet. In all our friends’ witness, hand over the daughter he’s raised for over a decade into big brother’s hands, then..."

Everyone felt like that scene would definitely be beautiful. However, Jingrui and Zhu Yan didn’t know what came to mind but both of their faces turned red immediately.

Xi’er curiously looked at the two, "Big brother, Sister Yan, are you guys feeling shy?"

Jingrui: "...."

Zhu Yan: "...."

Xi’er was right this time!

Xiao’er smiled lightly, "Xi’er, there’s a saying that goes, ’know when to hold your tongue’, do you understand what that means?"

Xi’er tilted her head and thought, "Do you mean that even if I noticed big brother and Sister Yan being shy, I shouldn’t say it out loud?"

You’re correct! That’s right!" Xiao’er gave Xi’er a thumbs up.

Jingrui: "...."

Zhu Yan: "...."

How to resolve such great awkwardness?

Xi’er then asked, "But I’ve seen you, sister Xiao’er, when others are embarrassed or shy, you’d always say something more embarrassing!"

Xiao’er: "?"

Was that her? How come she didn’t know she’d done such a thing!

"You must have seen it wrong!" Xiao’er denied.

"I didn’t see it wrong, one time when brother Di and sister Jingya were embracing each other in the garden, and you walked in on them and said: you didn’t see anything and told them to continue, even said you’d divert others who want to come over. Shouldn’t you have pretended not to see it and just leave?"

"..." Everyone who heard her words, their expressions were all varied, it was quite hilarious.

"I was only joking then, just joking!" Afraid of the gossip, Xiao’er stopped Xi’er from continuing.

So that little lass was there at that time too! But that was years ago! She was so young then and yet she still remembers!

Thank god Di Shaowei and Ming Jingya aren’t here right now! Otherwise, they’d be looking for a hole to crawl into!

Yet sometimes in life, things just have a way of working out. As Shangguan Xuanyi, Ming Jingya and Di Shaowei walked in together. Shangguan Xuanyi was planning to have lunch with Xiao’er and Di Shaowei just decided to join them.

After the New Year, he would take over the role of General Di. This time he came back because the Emperor wanted him to return for a short trip. He mentioned that he was setting off in a few days and it would align perfectly with Fu Ranhui’s wedding.

He also planned to take his wife and children to join him in the military.

He only got home the day before yesterday, yesterday was Fu Ranhui’s wedding, he went to the governor’s house and didn’t have time to catch up with Xiao’er. Today, after discussing matters with the Emperor in the palace’s study, he and Shangguan Xuanyi came together.

On the way, they picked up his gentle wife to join them for a meal.

As the three of them entered, everyone’s gaze suddenly landed on Di Shaowei and Ming Jingya, full of insinuations.

Under such gazes, Di Shaowei and Ming Jingya subconsciously looked at each other: there was nothing odd on their faces!

Then they examined each other’s outfits, there was no problem! What exactly went wrong?

Unable to help it, Di Shaowei asked, "Xiao’er, could you tell me why everyone is looking at us like that? Our pants aren’t worn on our bodies, and our shirts aren’t worn on our legs. Everything is normal!"

"Pfft!" Upon hearing that, everyone burst into laughter.

"We were just talking about you both, and then suddenly you appeared. Everyone was just a bit surprised," explained Xiao’er while laughing.

"I knew everyone missed me. It was because I heard your calls that I rushed over. Let you all look at me to alleviate your yearning."

Di Shaowei thought, today at noon is the perfect time to try the new dishes at the restaurant. I wonder when will they start cooking. After going to the south for few months and not eating anything spicy, his taste buds are nearly gone!

Everyone twitched a little at Di Shaowei’s words.

Everyone missed him? This man really has no shame! If he knew what Xi’er said earlier, Xiao’er suddenly anticipates his reaction.

As Shangguan Xuanyi walked up to Xiao’er, seeing her expression, he knew they must have been talking badly about Shaowei.

Shangguan Xuanyi casually asked Xiao’er, "What were you all saying about Shaowei just now?"

Xiao’er’s eyes sparkled upon hearing this, a look of anticipation for the upcoming drama.

All of the other’s expressions brightened as they laid their eyes on Di Shaowei, their looks were full of amusement.

Di Shaowei: "...."

Ming Jingya: "...."

The sight of their gaze gave them the impulse to flee.

"Just now we were talking about that time when brother Di and sister Jingya were kissing in the garden and sister Xiao’er interrupted them!" Xi’er carefully explained.

Di Shaowei, Ming Jingya: "..."
