Yan Junuo smelled a faint fragrance as soon as he entered the room. He looked down and saw that the table in front of Xu Qingmo was filled with snacks, and in the middle was a large bowl of steaming blood oatmeal porridge.
Yan Junuo's eyes flickered, and then he smiled: "Not yet, I'm new here, I don't know the rules of the house, so I went to my aunt's place to say hello early in the morning, but I didn't expect that I would disturb my aunt's rest!"
"Since we haven't eaten yet, let's use some together!" After Xu Qingmo finished speaking, Huaying stepped forward to serve the porridge.
Because of what happened on the day of Ji Ji Li, Hua Ying really didn't have any good impressions of this cousin of the Yan family, but in order not to embarrass her girl, she still served her porridge in a polite manner: "Miss Yan please!"
Yan Junuo nodded, picked up the spoon handed over by Lan Xin, and tasted it very reservedly: "The cook at Marquis Ningyuan's house does some good cooking!"
Xu Qingmo smiled: "This is made in my small kitchen. It's made in the kitchen of my house. I don't usually eat it!"
"Oh, really?" Yan Junuo's hand holding the spoon paused slightly, "Then my cousin's taste must be quite exquisite!"
"It's not that the family is not doing well, it's just that I have a bit of Jiangnan blood in my bones, and I prefer to eat southern dishes!" Xu Qingmo said lightly, "My father and mother also spoil me. My uncle personally selected the cook from Jiangnan and sent it over!"
Hua Ying and Qu Lian looked at each other. Xu Qingmo's words were a bit showy. They knew very well at that time that Xu Qingmo was not someone who cared about such things, so her words were clearly meant for Yan Zhu. Nuo listened.
"My cousin's uncle really loves my cousin!" Yan Junuo's fingers holding the spoon turned slightly white, obviously from exerting strength.
Xu Qingmo naturally saw her actions and raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not expose it. He just said: "Actually, when I was young, when my grandmother was still alive, there were no rules for greeting her. I feel more comfortable here and don't have to think about coaxing. My mother, she usually has nothing to do, so just don’t bother him!”
Yan Junuo was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and looked at Xu Qingmo: "Sister, don't you welcome Nuo'er to stay in your house temporarily?"
"It's indeed not very welcoming!" Xu Qingmo looked at Yan Junuo without evading his eyes.
Yan Junuo never thought that Xu Qingmo would say it so bluntly. He gritted his back molars tightly and said after a long time: "Did Nuoer offend my sister because she and Ji Li were in trouble before?"
"That's not offensive, but I don't like you!" Xu Qingmo looked at the porridge in the bowl, feeling even more bored, "I don't like you, a pretentious, delicate-looking woman. Just looking at it, It’s quite unappetizing!”
Yan Junuo's hand squeezed tighter and tighter: "Sister is worried, because of Nuoer, does aunt not like sister?"
The spoon in Xu Qingmo's hand fell into the bowl with a clang: "You take yourself too seriously. This is Ningyuan Houfu. The surname is Xu, not Yan!"
Yan Junuo was frightened by the "bang", and the spoon in his hand slipped out: "It's Nuo'er who said the wrong thing, sister, don't be angry!"
"Which of your eyes saw that I was angry?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows, "Miss Yan, we only have a daughter in Ningyuan House, so you'd better not call me sister to avoid misunderstanding!"
Even anyone with no eyes could see Xu Qingmo's resistance. Yan Junuo's eyes were slightly red: "Since you don't welcome me so much, why do you let me stay in your house temporarily?"
"Is it possible that Miss Yan thinks that we invited you here?" Xu Qingmo sneered, "If Uncle Yan hadn't come and forced us to let you stay temporarily, would you still be huddled with your biological mother now?"
Yan Junuo's expression changed drastically: "You, you guys..."
"Don't give me that crying show, I don't want to watch it! If you think I'm trying to squeeze you, you might as well think about it, what did you say to my mother today?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Juno.
"You, you sent someone to monitor me?" Yan Junuo was stunned for a moment.
Xu Qingmo smiled: "That's not true, she is just a maid in my mother's yard who has taken care of me since I was a child!"
No matter how stupid Yan Junuo is, she knows that she found out about Mrs. Xu giving her Xu Qingmo eye drops this morning. She sat there, at a loss, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Uncle Yan is away on an expedition, so you can stay safely in our house. Food, drink, and supplies will all be yours. But you should also keep to yourself. If what happened today happens again, don't blame me for being rude. Yes!" Xu Qingmo took the handkerchief handed over by Hua Ying and wiped his hands carefully.
"elder sister……"
"Also!" Xu Qingmo threw the handkerchief in his hand on the table, "Don't come to my yard if you have nothing to do. I'm not your sister, so don't have this relationship with me, understand?"
Yan Junuo looked at the veil thrown in front of him, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Xu Qingmo stood up and left: "You have to be conscious of being dependent on someone else. If you make trouble, don't blame me for kicking you out. My mother has the affection of the Yan family, but I don't!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qingmo went back to the private room and never appeared again.
Hua Ying accompanied Xu Qingmo back to the wing. Qu Lian was still waiting by the side. Her face had the same expression as before: "Miss Yan, please eat quickly. It will be cold in a while!"
If she were an ordinary person, she would have run away in shame by now, but this Yan Junuo was not an ordinary person. Being humiliated by Xu Qingmo, she could still sit there without changing her expression and eat the porridge in her bowl one mouthful at a time. Eat clean.
Then he stood up, smiled and said to Qu Lian: "Tell your girls for me, thank you for her hospitality!"
Qu Lian still had that expressionless face: "I will tell you!"
Even when Yan Junuo went out, Qu Lian didn't give much to her. And the moment she left, Qu Lian said to the maid who came to clean up: "Just throw away that pair of bowls and chopsticks!"
The voice was very soft, but just enough for Yan Junuo to hear.
Yan Junuo's footsteps paused. Lan Xin behind her was already shaking with anger. She was about to turn around and scold her, but she stopped her: "Lan Xin, let's go back!"
Lan Xin was embarrassed, but she could only follow Yan Junuo back.
Xu Qingmo in the wing room was standing by the window, looking at Yan Junuo who was slowly leaving, with cold eyes.
"Girl, he's gone!" Qu Lian walked into the room and said softly.
Xu Qingmo responded: "Well, I know!"
"Girl, this girl Yan is actually quite pitiful!" Hua Ying, who was standing aside, couldn't help but whisper.
