Chapter 2439: Chapter 31: Looks Good, Makes the Meal Better

As the voices grew nearer, Little Mianmian couldn’t resist any longer and secretly poked out half of her head.

Suddenly, a head popped out from under the bed, startling Huohuo and Doudou, who were both shorter and searching all around for people.

"...Sister...sister?" Huohuo realized and hurriedly rushed forward, "What are you doing underneath there?"

Little Mianmian exclaimed "Ouch," and said, "Quick, pull me out."

Huohuo and Doudou immediately squatted down, each grabbing one of her hands, and pulled the little girl out.

Shu Yu looked at her speechlessly, while the little girl earnestly explained, "I was rescuing myself."

"Rescue from what?" Xiao Ruojun asked with a smile.

The little girl patted the dust off herself. Fortunately, the servants cleaned under the bed daily, otherwise, she feared she would turn into a little dusty cat.

"I don’t know this place, I’m afraid I’ll encounter bad people."

Bad people?

Xiao Ruojun glanced at her son; Doudou’s face flushed slightly as he realized that running off directly was a mistake. His sister was definitely scared in a completely unfamiliar place, and he left without calming her down or explaining, no wonder she hid under the bed.

He walked over to Mianmian, with a tense little face, and apologized, "I’m sorry."

Little Mianmian looked at him in confusion, wondering why he was apologizing.

Well, even though she didn’t understand, considering the other person was handsome and she was generous, she decided to forgive him.

"It’s okay."

Doudou let out a sigh of relief.

Shu Yu watched the two of them with amusement, and when they were almost done talking, she finally led her to the flower hall to eat.

Everyone else had already finished eating, leaving only her at the table.

The little girl was shoveling spoonfuls of rice into her mouth while occasionally glancing up at Doudou.

Xiao Ruojun found it interesting and asked her, "Why do you keep staring at Brother Doudou?"

"Good-looking, it’s appetizing."

"Pfft..." Xiao Ruojun almost sprayed out her tea.

She looked at Shu Yu in shock, is your daughter really this bold?

Shu Yu rubbed her forehead, "Uh... she’s quite blunt." Trying to maintain some dignity.

Xiao Ruojun was delighted and liked Little Mianmian more and more, if only her son could be this cute.

Just as she thought this, Nanny Gu’s voice came from outside, "Madam, Mrs. Tang is here."

"Quick, invite her in."

After giving the instructions, Xiao Ruojun turned to Shu Yu and said, "You should also know Mrs. Tang, she’s Tang Wenqian’s wife, Ms. Jiang. Since Tang Wenqian enrolled in the Imperial College, I’ve met Ms. Jiang a few times, she’s quite pleasant, and we’ve been in contact throughout the year."

Tang Wenqian used to work with Xiang Weinan, and since he returned to the capital this time, he naturally brought his wife to visit Xiang Weinan. This gave them more opportunities to meet, and naturally, Xiao Ruojun and Ms. Jiang got to know each other.

Even though Ms. Jiang, an orphan with no power or influence, Xiao Ruojun no longer cared about status and background after experiencing the changes in the Xiao Family, valuing only character and temperament.

Even though she was now honored as an Imperial Decree and had regained her confidence socially, her way of dealing with people had changed greatly from before.

Some people came to her saying that Ms. Jiang had ulterior motives in associating with her, but Xiao Ruojun only smiled, knowing in her heart who had what motives, not needing such unfamiliar people to gossip.

Shu Yu did not expect to see Ms. Jiang on her first day in the capital; she nodded, "I did meet her once."
