After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 47

He was a legitimate nobleman from a high-class family. Even the maids and attendants closest to him were servants in his eyes. He had never seen a master apologize to a servant. He looked at Luo Shuiyao, wondering what kind of person she was.

Du Juan stood in front of Luo Shuiyao, her attention all on her young lady, and she did not notice Ye Yunxing behind Luo Shuiyao.

Chun Xing, who was standing beside Du Juan, accidentally raised her eyes and saw her second son. She quickly bowed to Ye Yunxing and said respectfully, "This servant greets the second son."

Only then did Dujuan realize that the second young master was also here, and she hurriedly bowed respectfully to Ye Yunxing together with Chun Xing.

"Everyone, get up."

Ye Yunxing no longer had the naive look he had just had. He looked like a completely different person. His sword-like eyebrows slanted down into his temples, and his posture was upright. Every move he made exuded an innate nobility.

Luo Shuiyao slowly turned around, her eyes fixed on him with interest, a hint of teasing in her eyes. "Hey, young man, you're quite good at pretending."

He seemed to understand Luo Shuiyao's eyes, coughed, and then straightened his back even more.

The corners of Luo Shuiyao's mouth twitched slightly. He was such an innocent young boy. "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to the kitchen and get some snacks, then go find your mother for lunch."

For the past few days, Luo Shuiyao hadn't left her house, lying in bed pretending to be sick. The Marquis's wife had brought a doctor to check her pulse every day, and after guzzling bowl after bowl of bitter medicine, she couldn't pretend anymore. Today, she pretended to be well. However, she was grateful for the Marquis's kindness. She decided to visit the Marquis today and have lunch together. She had agreed to be a Marquis's wife and show respect to her aunt, so she couldn't fall too far behind Lu Zhaozhao.

Several people walked towards the kitchen together. Before they got close, they could smell a fragrance from afar.

Ye Yunxing walked forward a few steps and twitched his nose slightly, "Hmm, it smells good, what smells so good?" He turned his head to look at Luo Shuiyao. He had just heard that they seemed to have made some snacks. This was a smell he had never smelled before, so naturally he felt a little curious.

Seeing Ye Yunxing's curious expression, Luo Shuiyao's lips curled up into a bright smile. Her eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons, making her look even more lively. "Then let's go in and try it." With that, she lightly walked past Ye Yunxing and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Du Juan and Chun Xing glanced at Ye Yunxing secretly, then quickly followed their young lady. Ye Yunxing was left behind alone, looking at the backs of the others, muttering in his heart, "Sister Yao is so naughty, she's even keeping us in suspense." Thinking of this, he laughed out loud, then strode to catch up with the people in front.

"My cousin is back."

Nanny Wang had been keeping an eye on the doorway, and when she finally spotted the figures, she hurried forward. "Cousin, why are you here so late? We didn't know where you'd been, and we were terribly worried."

Without waiting for Luo Shuiyao's response, Nanny Wang continued, "We have already prepared the snacks."

A look of guilt appeared on Luo Shuiyao's face, and she expressed her sincere apology again.

Then, she leaned forward slightly and asked softly, "Mammy, how many snacks did you make in total?"

Hearing the cousin's question, Nanny Wang immediately responded, "Cousin, we made three plates of sweet sand cakes and three plates of egg yolk pastries. Do you think you've seen enough?"

Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly and said, "That's enough." Just before leaving, she had told Nanny Wang to make more snacks. Hearing the quantity, she felt quite satisfied. The soft and sticky sweet sand cake intertwined with the salty and fragrant egg yolk pastry, and just imagining the taste filled her with anticipation.

Luo Shuiyao smiled and instructed, "Dujuan, go pack a plate of egg yolk pastry and a plate of sweet sand cake into a lunch box, then take them out and bring them to the main hall for my aunt to taste. Take the other portion back to Chunhua Garden and you can taste it together."

Then she turned and said softly to Nanny Wang, "Nanny, you've worked so hard. Leave the rest in the kitchen so everyone can try it. Only by tasting it yourself can you know what needs improvement, and everyone else will have a clearer idea."

Nanny Wang was deeply moved and quickly responded, "This old servant would like to thank you, cousin, on behalf of the old women."

Dujuan and Chunxing quickly came out with packed lunch boxes.

Luo Shuiyao took the lunch box from Du Juan and said to them, "Okay, you two take your snacks and go back to the house to eat. I can go back by myself later."

Du Juan glanced at Chun Xing, then at Luo Shui Yao, and asked her, "Miss, are you sure you won't get lost again?"

Luo Shuiyao's cheeks were slightly embarrassed, and she said angrily: "Go away, oh! Second brother is here.

Du Juan suddenly remembered that the Second Young Master was still behind them. She quickly turned around and looked outside, only to see Second Young Master Ye Yunxing standing in the yard not far away, watching them quietly.

Luo Shuiyao saw Du Juan looking at Ye Yunxing, but did not respond, because she was still worried, and sighed: "Okay, if you are really worried, come and pick me up later, and I will go back with you, is that okay?

Du Juan withdrew her gaze and heard her mistress's words of compromise. She nodded and said, "Then Chun Xing and I will leave first."

Luo Shuiyao waved her hand, signaling them to leave.

When Nanny Wang heard them mention the Second Young Master, she quickly turned around and saw him slowly approaching. She hurried forward a few steps, bowed respectfully, and said, "This old servant greets the Second Young Master."

Ye Yunqing waved his hand gently and said gently: "No need to be polite, go ahead and do your work."

Nanny Wang replied respectfully, "Yes." Then she turned around and hurried into the kitchen.

Seeing Du Juan's still somewhat worried look, Luo Shuiyao waved her hand, indicating that she could rest assured. Then, Luo Shuiyao handed the lunch box to Ye Yunxing. Ye Yunxing took the lunch box from her naturally, and then the two of them walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall of Zhaohuayuan.

The Marquis' wife leaned gently against the chaise longue, her eyes slightly closed, a look of fatigue on her face. Lu Zhaozhao stood obediently behind her, her slender fingers gently massaging the space between her eyebrows. The Marquis' wife had been extremely tired the past few days, her headache had returned, and she hadn't rested well all night. Lu Zhaozhao's face was filled with concern, her eyes filled with heartache, as she devotedly massaged the Marquis' wife using the techniques she had learned from her mother.

After a while, the Marquis' wife slowly opened her eyes, gently patted Lu Zhaozhao's hand covering her head, and said softly, "Alright, Zhaozhao, you must be very tired after massaging for so long. It's okay, your aunt will be well in two days. Come over and rest."

Lu Zhaozhao smiled sweetly and said flatteringly, "It's okay, Auntie. I'm not tired. I'm just massaging for a while." As she spoke, she paused, leaned forward slightly, and sat down obediently beside the Marquis's wife. Curls of green smoke drifted from the incense burner in the main hall, creating a warm and cozy scene.

"Hey, Yaoyao!"

The Marquis' wife suddenly spotted Luo Shuiyao standing at the door. She quickly stood up, walked over, and grabbed Luo Shuiyao's hand, her face filled with concern and anxiety. "Child, you haven't recovered yet, and you're already out of bed. Don't let yourself get sick again. If anything happens to you again, how am I going to explain this to your deceased parents?"

The Marquis's wife frowned slightly, her tone full of worry and heartache, and the hand holding Luo Shuiyao tightened unconsciously.
