Chapter Twenty-Four: Seeing Ice and Snow Again

  "Ten sister, don't worry, I have met ninth sister once before. According to my maid Yunzhi, every year ninth sister would summon the maids to ask for a few baskets of peaches. I thought since we are having wine and eating peaches here, I might as well send some over without inviting ninth sister, so I asked Yunzhi to deliver the baskets." Mo Qingdeng said calmly.

  Mo Qingchen finished speaking and turned his head, looking at Mo Yuqi with a slow tone: "However, it's you, eleventh sister. Even if Qingchen didn't invite anyone, he would still send things to ninth sister eagerly, but you're just the opposite."

  Mo Qingchen didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant. In other words, Mo Qingchen had not invited Mo Yuqi to this banquet, yet she came uninvited.

  Mo Yuqi's face turned pale and white, her hands clenched tightly, she had come today with a sullen attitude!

  One morning, Mo Yuqi went to visit her sisters, Mo Yan and Mo Dai, when she overheard them talking about the Peach Banquet. She was shocked to learn that Mo Qingchen had invited everyone to taste wine and peaches without including her. As someone who loved lively gatherings, how could she resist the temptation of the delicious peaches and peach wine from Fifth Grandfather's courtyard? Moreover, thinking about Mo Qingchen's actions made her furious - didn't he consider her at all? In the usual power struggles within the clan, it was acceptable to leave some people out, but how could he exclude her from a family activity like this?

  It can be said that Mo Yuqi came with the intention of finding fault, but previously her words were dissolved by Mo Qingchen in an invisible way. She had long seen through Mo Ranyi's arrogance and was extremely resistant to Mo Feiyan in her heart.

  "Wow, this popsicle is really delicious!" Mo Xiaobao suddenly said at the tense moment.

  "Ah, Ba Ge, is it really delicious? Doesn't it have a fishy smell?" Mo Ning Rou asked softly.

  Mo Xiaobao couldn't be bothered to answer her and started eating big mouthfuls.

  Mo Yuqi said: "Ba Ge, you're helping that stinky girl!"

  Mo Xiao Ba finally lifted her head, blinked her eyes, and innocently said: "There isn't any, Eleventh Sister, don't believe me? Try some, it's really delicious."

  "What a ghostly belief!" Mo Yuqi said, hastily scooping up a spoonful of milk jelly and putting it into her mouth, but she was stunned.

  Mo Xiaobao chuckled and smiled: "How about it, Eleventh Sister? Isn't Eighth Brother biased towards that little girl?"

  Mo Xiao Ba's words and Mo Yu Qi's expression made others even more curious, even Mo Ran couldn't help but pick up his spoon and take a bite.

  The charm of pudding is irresistible to these children who have never tasted it before, and several people finish eating in a few mouthfuls. The bright eyes look at Mo Qing's heart with goosebumps.

  However, this did ease the tense atmosphere that had almost led to a fight earlier. Mo Qingchen invited everyone to continue drinking and the scene became lively once again.

  Yun Zhi carried a food box and a bamboo basket, walking happily forward, thinking that she could see her sister Yun Shan, who had not been seen for many days, and she was delighted in her heart.

  Yun Zhi first went to Mo Xiaoqi's residence and knocked on the door with his hand.

  The creaky gate opened with a groan, revealing the servant's quiet and elegant face.

  "Is it Yunzhi's sister? What's the matter?" Jingyan asked unexpectedly.

  Yun Zhi waved the food box in his hand and said, "Today, my young lady is hosting a peony banquet. Seventh Young Master doesn't have time to come over, so she asked me to bring some food here. I hope Seventh Young Master won't mind."

  "Master is still in meditation..."

  Yunzhi chuckled and thought to herself, "This person seems a bit silly," but she said aloud, "It's all right, I'll just put the things down. It's just that I need to trouble Qingwen brother to inform Seventh Young Master."

  "Ah, thank you, Yunzhi sister." Jingyan said hastily.

  "Thank me for what? You should thank my young mistress instead." Yunzhi said, handing the food box and bamboo basket to Jingyan, then turned around and left.

  Jing Yan walked in with a food box and a bamboo basket, just as Mo Xiao Qi was walking out expressionlessly. He glanced at the things in Jing Yan's hands casually, didn't say anything, and headed straight outside.

  "Master." Jing Yan couldn't help but shout out loud, knowing that this was the master's signal that he had finished his cultivation and was going to the toilet.

  "Hmm?" Mo Xiaoqi looked at Jingyan, he wasn't a talkative person, and the name he gave to his personal attendant was also in the hope that he would be quiet and not disturb him while cultivating.

  For some reason, although others said that Seventh Young Master's talent was mediocre, Jingyan felt that Mo Xiaoqi's expressionless gaze was very intimidating. Thinking of Yunxi's smiling face, he steeled himself and said: "Young Master, earlier Sixteenth Miss had Yunxi send over some food."

  "Oh, forget it." Mo Xiaoqi said as she walked straight towards the northwest corner of the courtyard to the toilet.

  Wait until he washed his hands and came out, then returned to the house and glanced at the fresh peaches and food box on the table, hesitated for a moment and said: "Bring it over to me."

  "Ah." Jing Yan replied busily.

  Yun Zhi was left with only one meal in his hand, and he felt that walking had become much easier. Before long, they arrived at Mo Fei Yan's residence.

  "Ah, Second Sister, how did you come?" Yun Shan asked in surprise as she opened the door.

  Yunzhi took a glance at her sister, who seemed to have become even more beautiful after not seeing her for several days. She was wearing a cyan cheongsam with intricate embroidery, over which she wore a moon-white embroidered jacket with plum blossom patterns, making her look elegant and refined like a newly bloomed white lotus flower.

  "Second sister, what are you staring at?" Yun Shan said with a frown, seeing that Yun Zhi didn't respond.

  "Sister, you're so beautiful." Yunzhi said.

  Yun Shan stretched out her hand and poked Yun Zhi's forehead with her finger, saying: "You dead girl, you're even framing your own sister now."

  "No, they said it's true." Yunzhi stuck out her tongue and said.

  Yun Shan was taken aback for a moment. Her younger sister, who had always been calm and composed despite her young age, seemed to have become more lively in the days they hadn't seen each other.

  "Second sister, why have you come at this time?" Yun Shan asked.

  Yun Chi waved his hand and said: "Yes, it's my young lady who ordered me to bring some food for Ninth Miss."

  Yun Shan took over the basket from Yun Zhi's hand and said, "Your family's young lady has a good heart. Hmm, what's in this food box?"

  Yun Chi's mysterious smile said: "Look."

  Yun Shan looked at the objects in the food box and laughed: "Wow, is this peach wine? I really couldn't have guessed that."

  "The young lady said this is a milk jelly, it was made by the young lady's own hands. The young lady gave some to Yunzhi to eat, and it's really a very delicious dessert." Yunzhi said with flying eyebrows and dancing colors, her words full of admiration for Mo Qingchen, without even realizing it herself.

  Yun Shan couldn't help but be curious about the sixteen-year-old miss who had never met before, and asked: "Yun Zhi, since you became the personal attendant of Miss Sixteen, sister has not had a chance to ask you, are you doing well, adapting?"

  Yunzhi nodded and said: "Sister, don't worry, these days Yunzhi has been doing very well."

  She remembered the day she was informed that she would become the personal maid of Sixteen Miss, her sister hastily came to instruct her, saying that Sixteen Miss's temperament was unknown, and she must be careful and cautious. She knew that in the eyes of a cultivator, mortals were like ants, and under no circumstances should she provoke Miss's anger. Eleventh Miss had once dismissed her first personal maid with a beating and sent her to the laundry room.

  Thinking of this, Yunzhi couldn't help but sigh at her own good fortune and said: "Sister, my family's young lady is also a very good person."

  At this moment, Mo Feiyan walked in from outside, her face cold and frosty, which made her white shirt look even more icy.
