Chapter 72 Do you like to eat this?

"I'm not hungry yet." Jing Yu's reply was still cold.

Nanny Li stopped asking any more questions and sat quietly. Jing Yu seemed to have guessed something and remained silent until he finished approving a volume of official documents.

"Auntie is here to intercede with Qianxue?"

Aunt Li smiled. She knew that her young master was a clear and smart person. She didn't waste any words and said directly: "This girl Qianxue is a rule-abiding girl. She has a simple temper and is quick in her hands and feet. I have tried many times these days. For her, she advances and retreats appropriately, and she doesn’t look like someone who would betray the Lord.”

Jing Yu, however, did not continue what Mother Li said, but said perfunctorily: "That's good."

Seeing that Jing Yu didn't answer, Grandma Li had no choice but to start talking again, "Although it is a good thing to follow the rules, this child is too obedient. I never dare to treat the master's orders with the slightest disrespect. If you punish her by not eating, she will really I don’t dare to drink a sip of water.”

Jing Yu's hand paused for a moment before he finally caught up with Nanny Li's words, "If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do wrong, you will be punished. No matter who comes, this should be the case."

Seeing that Jing Yu was not shaken, Nanny Li said no more and left.

When Jing Yu saw that Nanny Li was gone, his mind became restless. He suddenly couldn't read the official document in front of him. Nanny Li's words began to reappear in his mind. He recalled the first time Qian Xue came to his yard. Although he was tired of her at the time when she was bullied and had no food to eat, his pitiful expression remained deeply in his memory.

Will she become like that again this time...

Jing Yu put down his writing brush and went to look for some free books to read, trying to distract himself from this emotion. However, he found that he couldn't calm down to read the interesting contents that he usually read.

He simply went out to vent his emotions, but unexpectedly, he walked to the door of Qian Xue's room unknowingly.

There was a faint light in the room, and two figures were moving around. He got slightly closer, and with his good hearing, he could clearly hear the conversation between the two people inside.

"The young master only said that you are not allowed to eat dinner, but he did not say that you are not allowed to eat cakes." Grandma Li held the cake plate in one hand and the cakes in the other and stuffed them into Qianxue's mouth.

Qianxue shook her head and refused. She slightly curved her lips and smiled lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, grandma, but I really can't eat it."

"Don't worry, no one will tell the young master." Nanny Li was still patiently persuading.

Qianxue still refused, "Mommy misunderstood, I'm not afraid of being reported. I've been here for so many years, how could I not know the omissions in the master's instructions? However, I can't do anything contrary to the master's instructions because of this. This is my code of survival as a servant. Especially since the young master is so kind to me, I can't fool the young master's orders."

However, Nanny Li noticed that someone seemed to be flashing outside the window. She couldn't help but chuckle, but deliberately made her voice louder, "Then you idiot, just follow the young master's instructions, and no one will care if you are afraid of starving to death."

However, Qianxue was anxious and quickly grabbed Nanny Li and said, "Mom, don't say that. The young master treats his servants generously, so this will not happen. It would be bad if someone with good intentions ruins the young master's reputation."

Nanny Li was satisfied. She looked at the figure moving outside the house and seemed to be walking away. Then she whispered: "If you don't have dinner, midnight snack or breakfast is not dinner. Once midnight comes, it will be the next day. "

As she spoke, Grandma Li stuffed the pastry in her hand again and winked playfully. Qianxue couldn't help but laugh when she saw it. She also came close to Grandma Li and said, "I know. I have dry food here given by my mother, so that I can put some food on my stomach when I am over."

Grandma Li smiled even more. She was a loyal protector, but she was not stupid at the same time. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

The two of them were chatting animatedly in the room, but little did they know that Jing Yu's good ear could clearly hear what they were saying behind them.

He couldn't help but want to laugh. The lingering irritability in his heart was completely cleared at this moment. He went back to the room and passed the meal around. After eating, he was in a better mood, and even his movements in approving official documents became much lighter. Unknowingly, it was midnight. Hearing the watchman's sound, Jing Yu's heart moved and he walked towards Qian's snow room.

Hearing the rustling sounds in the house, he deliberately put on a straight face, pushed open the door and asked, "You did eat it?"

Qian Xue was so frightened by the sudden sound that she threw everything in her hands away.

When he saw clearly who was standing outside the house, he didn't even have the courage to crawl over and pick it up.

When Jing Yu saw her shrinking in clothes, his face felt a little embarrassed for a moment, wondering if he was scared to death.

He coughed dryly, and then said, "What did you throw out?"

Only then did Qianxue come to her senses and hurriedly saluted, "I wonder what the young master's orders were when he came to my slave's residence late at night."

"I'm tired from reading the official documents. Let's come out and relax." Jing Yu casually picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip.

Seeing this, Qianxue hurriedly went to get the teapot, "Herbal tea is harmful to the body, I will wait for you to make a pot of hot tea for the young master."

Jing Yu held her back as she hurried out the door, and asked softly, "What was that you were holding in your hands just now?"

Qianxue looked at Jing Yu's hand and glanced at Jing Yu's face under the moonlight. Her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly warm. She stopped, turned around, picked up the thing she had just thrown aside, and then showed it Show it to Jing Yu.

It's not anything expensive, just some preserved fruit.

Jing Yu looked amused and couldn't help but ask, "Looking at how well you hid it, I thought it was something valuable."

Qianxue smiled shyly, but did not follow Jing Yu's words.

She raised her head and looked into Jing Yu's eyes, with the corners of her lips raised slightly, smiling, and her eyes full of softness, "Preserved fruit is not a precious thing, but my mother made it with her own hands. I can't eat it normally." When you arrive, you must cherish it."

Seeing her look like this, Jing Yu couldn't help but laugh too. He raised his hand to try one, but was stopped by Qian Xue.

"Master, this candied fruit is not made of good material. It is very rough. What will you do if you eat it and your body is damaged?" Qianxue said sincerely, and did not mean to hide it on purpose.

Jing Yu's concerned expression made him feel soft. He smiled slightly to show that he didn't mind, then picked up a preserved fruit and put it into his mouth.

A sweet and cloying smell came, and Jing Yu quickly drank a few more sips of cold tea before swallowing it.

"So you like to eat this kind of thing?" Jing Yu was a little surprised.

Qianxue smiled and spoke softly, "When I was a little girl, I couldn't afford to eat. Naturally, I don't choose this sweet food."
