However, Wei Na obeyed An Jiuyue’s instructions and unwrapped the spicy bars. They would make that darn old woman suffer from the spice later!

After a while, An Jiuyue went to the courtyard. When she returned, she was carrying two plates filled with spicy bars.

“Princess, you…”

Ling Yi was still trying to cozy up to Qian Yiyun. Now that Xue Ling was gone, no one could coax her anymore. She could only rely on herself and get closer to Qian Yiyun.

She was stunned when she turned around and saw the red things An Jiuyue was carrying in her hands.

“Miss Ling Yi, I brought these from home. They’re delicious. Old Madam gave me so many good things, but I’m unable to repay her kindness. Please bring this snack to Old Madam and thank her on my behalf.”

An Jiuyue handed the two plates to Ling Yi with a smile. It frightened her so much that she took a step back and almost stepped on Qian Yiyun’s foot.

What is this? It looks so oily and scary!

“This… An Jiuyue, what… what is this?”

“This is a specialty snack from my hometown. It’s very delicious. There may only be two plates, but they’re very expensive. Besides, ordinary people can’t buy them.”

An Jiuyue looked at the spicy bars on the plates exaggeratedly.

“You have the gourmet’s luck. That’s why you can meet me and eat the most delicious food in the world.”

Ling Yi was speechless.

Why does this sound so familiar? I’ve heard this somewhere.

Oh, right! I remember saying something similar when I introduced the things I took from Old Madam’s private storehouse to An Jiuyue.

I didn’t expect this village girl to twist my words and retort!

Her eyes narrowed. This young lady did not seem powerful, but she was far from ordinary!

An Jiuyue was grinning as she introduced her to the items. She thought An Jiuyue was a foolish lady and did not care about her.

However, she realized that An Jiuyue was not grinning. She was smiling sinisterly!

Ling Yi admitted she was less composed than An Jiuyue. An Jiuyue had been grinning just now. Meanwhile, she did not look so good after hearing what An Jiuyue said.

“On behalf of Old Madam, thank you, Miss An.”

She relaxed and smiled stiffly. She reached out to take the two plates of unknown food.

“Princess, Miss An, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

Qian Yiyun looked at Ling Yi meaningfully and nodded at her. “Okay, go ahead. Take good care of Old Madam.”

After Ling Yi left, she stood up from her chair and walked towards the gifts they received.

“Tsk tsk, that old woman is really generous!”

These were all valuables! There were complete sets of high-quality jade jewelry and other things. Every piece would usually only be within sight but beyond reach.

“Sister-in-law, what do you think that old thing is trying to do? Curry favor with you?”

An Jiuyue sneered and retorted, “What do you think?”

“It doesn’t seem like it.” Qian Yiyun shook her head.

Would that old woman curry favor with them? Even if she did, she would curry favor with them openly and kill them secretly.

“I think she must have poisoned these things, right?”

“You’re underestimating her.” An Jiuyue shook her head and glanced at the items.

The gifts were good, but it was a pity that they were not what she liked. It was a good idea to try to win her over.
