Chapter 249 Fake Son 4
Nan Xi thought that it was really not easy for Wang Ruolan to make a living at the hands of her stepmother at such a young age.
"You don't have to do it anymore. We have dozens of chefs in the Li family, from all over the country. They are all experts in both Chinese and Western cuisines. Just tell them to cook whatever you want."
Wang Ruolan was a little hesitant. Is this really a good idea?
Nan Xi smiled. When she first came, she didn't expect the Li family to be so luxurious. This was due to the fact that Li Hongxuan was a serious foodie, so there were many chefs in the house.
"You are the young lady of the Li family. From now on, just leave these rough jobs to the servants."
Wang Ruolan's eyes turned red again, and she responded softly.
"Brother Nan, I understand."
Nan Xi thought about it and added, "We have a small kitchen in the yard. I'll have someone bring you some ingredients later. If you think making snacks can help kill time, you can give it a try."
Wang Ruolan smiled. Her husband was so considerate. How could she be so lucky to meet such a good husband?
Wang Ruolan didn't continue to sleep. She put on her clothes, took a book and sat on the couch to read.
Nan Xi was lying down looking at the beauty. The ancients were right. The more you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more beautiful she becomes.
The sky gradually brightened, and Nan Xi got up and went to the yard to practice sword.
Nan Xi slowly drew out her sword, and the tip of the sword lightly tapped. The sword light was like water, and as her movements flowed, the tip of the sword drew graceful arcs in the air.
Wang Ruolan had long since lost concentration on her book. Her heart was beating like a deer as she looked at the agile figure in the yard.
My husband is truly heroic, majestic, awe-inspiring, and full of vigor!
Cui He quietly entered the room, "Second Miss, don't forget Madam's instructions."
She saw that the Second Young Miss seemed to admire Li Nanxi very much. If she fell in love with her and ignored Aunt Yun, wouldn't that mess up the Madam's plans?
Wang Ruolan glanced at Cuihe and said coldly, "I know."
My husband said not to alert the enemy yet and to wait until we get home.
Cuihe snorted, then twisted her waist and walked out, not taking Wang Ruolan seriously at all.
She and Bilian were sent by the Madam, and they would be the eldest young master's concubines in the future. She didn't care about the small Li family.
Bilian brought in some water and said, "Second Miss, wash up."
Wang Ruolan silently took the handkerchief that Bilian had wrung out and started washing her face.
After Wang Ruolan had packed up, Nan Xi put away her sword and came in to change her clothes.
Bilian hurried over to serve, but Yinping blocked her way.
"I have always been the one serving the young master, so please don't interfere. Just serve the young mistress well."
Bilian lowered her head and walked out.
"Okay, Sister Yinping."
Nan Xi changed her clothes and went with Wang Ruolan to pay their respects to Li Hongxuan and Gu Qiyun.
When I entered the main hall, I saw that the room was full of people.
Among them were the original owner’s two sisters who came with their families.
The eldest sister Li Yujin married Zhao Yunting, a wealthy businessman from the Zhao family in the city, and now has a son and a daughter.
The second sister, Li Zixuan, married a scholar named Du Sihao. The Du family also lived in the provincial capital and their family conditions were average.
Later, the Li family was ruined, and the families of the two sisters were also implicated and suffered a very bad fate.
The whole family waited neatly for the new daughter-in-law to serve tea.
Wang Ruolan and Nan Xi knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to offer tea.
Li Hongxuan and Gu Qiyun quickly took the tea and took a sip, then returned it with a thick red seal.
Naturally, other people would not give the new bride a cold shoulder and would readily give her gifts.
Cuihe was so overwhelmed with gifts that she was amazed at how rich the Li family was.
Gu Qiyun really likes Wang Ruolan. She holds Wang Ruolan's hand and takes her to the hall to have breakfast together.
He did not ask his daughter-in-law to set any rules, but instead they sat down to eat together.
Cuihe and Bilian looked at each other with some contempt. A peasant is a peasant, and has no rules at all.
Wang Ruolan was flattered. She was used to setting rules in the palace, and she didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so kind.
"Ruolan, since you married into our family, you are one of us. If anyone disrespects you, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Wang Ruolan's eyes turned red again, "Thank you, mother."
Gu Qiyun pulled Wang Ruolan to sit down and introduced the breakfast on the table to her, appearing very intimate.
"This is Jianbing, crispy and very fragrant, Xiaolongbao and Shengjianbao, these are breakfast from outside.
This is rice noodle rolls, this is glutinous rice chicken, you can try them all.”
Wang Ruolan tried a little bit of each and found that they all had different flavors. She liked them all very much.
Nan Xi was only concerned with eating. She had already informed her parents and treated Wang Ruolan as a family member, leaving everything else to her.
That's why Li Hongxuan and Gu Qiyun changed their cold attitude in their previous life and became passionate towards their daughter-in-law.
On the day of returning to the Wang family's home, Nan Xi and Wang Ruolan went to the Wang family with gifts.
Wang Ruolan was very nervous. She missed her aunt and was afraid that her aunt did not receive treatment.
Nan Xi held Wang Ruolan's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Trust me."
Wang Ruolan calmed down and nodded.
"Cuihe, you come back with me. Bilian will stay here to look after the yard."
Cui He replied happily: "Yes, Second Miss."
The Wang family was not far away, and they arrived there in a cup of tea. The carriage drove directly into the second gate. Nan Xi helped Wang Ruolan get off the carriage and went to pay a visit to Governor Wang and Madam Wang.
After Nan Xi greeted Wang Jincheng and Madam Wang, Wang Jincheng took her to the outer study, while Wang Ruolan stayed to chat with Madam Wang.
Wang Zhilan looked at Nanxi's back and said sourly, "Second sister is so lucky. Li Nanxi is so handsome."
"Zhi'er!"
Mrs. Wang glared at her daughter. How could she say such a thing?
Wang Ruolan looked over in surprise. She was surprised that her elder sister was envious. She felt refreshed.
"My husband treats me very well. Not only is he handsome, but he is also an extraordinary martial artist."
Wang Zhilan snorted and stopped talking.
Madam Wang looked at Wang Ruolan disdainfully, "Have you completed the task I asked you to investigate?"
Wang Ruolan lowered her head and said nothing. Madam Wang glanced at Cuihe, and Cuihe quickly knelt down and explained what had happened in the past few days.
Wang Zhilan was even more surprised now, "How could Madam Li treat my second sister so well?"
Cui He nodded, "Yes, Madam Li treats the Second Miss like her own daughter, and sends all the good things to the Second Miss's room."
The handkerchief in Wang Zhilan's hand was almost twisted into a dough twist. Why could her second sister live such a good life?
However, she calmed down when she thought about her upcoming trip to the capital.
My second sister can never compare to me.
Wang Ruolan stood there quietly, looking composed. She seemed more stable than before and had some of the demeanor of a mistress.
Madam Wang urged, "Second girl, if you do your job well, Aunt Yun will naturally provide you with good medicinal herbs. Do you remember this?"
Wang Ruolan lowered her head and said, "My daughter will remember this."
Mrs. Wang said nothing more and just sat there talking to Wang Zhilan.
