Before this, Zi Xuan had already asked about Xie Yan's taste, so today's dinner was mostly tailored to the new uncle's taste: crystal pork knuckle, secret recipe duck breast, four? bean curd, white jade round dish, spinach and turtle soup. Plus a plate of braised bamboo shoots and a plate of glutinous rice cake.

  Qin Miao slowly picked at the rice in her bowl, watching Xie Yan eat neatly and elegantly across from her. She couldn't help but feel puzzled. This wasn't Qin Miao's fault - although she was born in Jiangnan and had a delicate appearance, her stomach was not suited to the region. Faced with this bland table of food, all she could do was count the grains of rice.

  Xie Xuan, although refined in his eating habits, was after all a man and finished a bowl of rice in no time. The moment he put down his chopsticks, he saw Qin Miao hanging her head, sighing incessantly at the table.

  "What's wrong?"

  A cold voice floated over from the opposite side, and Qin Miao immediately shivered. Seeing that Xie Yan had already put down his chopsticks and was about to take the tea cup handed over by Li Mama to rinse his mouth, she could only slowly complain: "No flavor in my mouth..."

  After finishing the meal and rinsing his mouth, Xie Xun felt much more comfortable. "Then don't eat anymore." As he stood up to leave the table, Xie Xun turned back to look at Qin Miao again. "In the future, there's no need to consider my taste in everything."

  What!!!! Is this taking care of me? Qin Miao's eyes sparkled. It turned out that he was actually very concerned, despite his usual apathetic appearance. With this realization, Qin Miao suddenly felt that the dishes on the table had become more flavorful and spicy, and eating them no longer seemed so bland. Before long, she finished her meal too.

  How to spend the evening after dinner and before rest? This is her and Mei Ren Gongzi's first truly meaningful night after their new marriage, seeing that there is still a good while before they retire to their room, Qin Miao was somewhat uncertain about how to make good use of this time.

  She boldly made a proposal: "Master Hou, you've just finished eating, why don't I accompany you to take a stroll in the garden and digest your food?"

  Xie Xun, lying on the soft couch, was taken aback for a moment before responding faintly, "Alright." He then called someone to bring him an outer robe.

  "Why are you so beautiful today?" Xie Yan looked at Ru Mo, who was quietly standing on one side, her eyes honestly fixed on Qin Miao.

  Qin Miao naturally stepped forward, personally helping Xie Yun with his buttons, and took the opportunity to answer his questions: "I just arrived at the mansion, many things are unfamiliar. Seeing that Ruhua is mature and steady, I entrusted her to help me take care of and instruct the maids in our courtyard." Her response was calm and composed, even Xie Yun couldn't detect any impropriety.

  The personal maid, Mo Ru, was still standing by quietly, only to receive a reassuring glance from Qin Miao. The anxiety in her heart slowly dissipated. As an ordinary second-class maid in the outer courtyard, she had been overjoyed when Master Hou had taken a liking to her and promoted her to the inner courtyard. However, this joy was short-lived as she soon faced exclusion from another personal maid, Ru Hua, who always used the excuse of seniority to prevent her from getting close to Master Hou. Fortunately, thanks to the kindness of the new mistress today, from now on, only she would be allowed to attend to Master Hou personally.

  Zi Xuan helped Qin Miao put on a thin cloak, and then Qin Miao followed Xie Yan out to stroll in the garden.

  The night of March and April still has a bit of coolness, fortunately the moonlight is like flowers, adding a few points of tranquility. Qin Miao followed Xie Yan, walking one after the other, during which Xie Yan was still speechless all the way. However, it can be seen that his mood tonight is not bad, no longer like that day when he came out of Yang Yi Garden, only taking care of himself and walking, without considering her short legs and slow pace. Today he is still walking in front, occasionally slowing down to look back at her position. Even though Qin Miao is still struggling to keep up, such small actions are extremely sweet to her.

  The beautiful young master is indeed a beautiful young master. Qin Miao gazed at the second person walking in front of her with an almost greedy affection. The moonlight was hazy, pouring onto his tall and straight figure, forming a faint halo, shining brightly. Every time he turned his face to look at her, it would make her heart skip a beat. His already sharp and chiseled handsome face, due to the moonlight, showed a few hints of gentleness. Such a beautiful young master is actually her husband. Ah... she's really too lucky...

  Just as Qin Miao was indulging in her own fantasy, Xie Yan looked up at the moonlight and said coolly, "Let's go back."

  She was stunned for a moment and hastily replied, "Ah! Ah..." Then Qin Miao followed Xie Yan back to the Chao Lu Yuan through a shortcut.

  After returning to the house, Xie Yan still wanted to read for a while. Qin Miao went to the bathroom to wash up first. When she came out and sat in front of the copper mirror, letting Zi Xuan apply various creams on her, Xie Yan entered the bathroom.

  Soon, Mrs. Li suddenly came in from the outer room, whispered a few words in her ear, and saw Qin Miao's face turn bright red instantly. And this whisper and Qin Miao's blushing face were seen by Xie Yu who had just come out of the clean room. However, neither Qin Miao nor Mrs. Li noticed that Xie Yu's mouth corners were slightly drooping at this moment.

  After both of them had gone to bed, Xie Yun still slept on the inner side, while Qin Miao obediently kept watch on the outer side.

  The red candle fell, the fire went out. Qin Miao lay tightly on the bed, thumping... thumping... counting in his heart. Last night, both of them were too tired, especially the beautiful young master, so he was afraid that even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have the energy. Then tonight... would they finally consummate their marriage?

  Before getting married, her elder sister-in-law talked to herself about the things under the bed for an entire afternoon. Qin Miao also had some preparation in her heart. But when it really happened, saying she wasn't nervous would be a lie. So at this moment, Qin Miao's heart was filled with apprehension, some curiosity, and a little bit of expectation.

  The room was silent, only occasionally hearing the sound of the pipa coming from the candlelight. Qin Miao quietly waited... but when her eyelids could no longer hold on, the man inside still didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything. Finally, drowsiness overcame her, and after a while, Qin Miao really couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.

  Xie Xuan hadn't actually fallen asleep yet, and hearing the even breathing of the person beside him, he couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Qin Miao under the faint light. Afterwards, he heard a deep sigh from him, then turned over and fell fast asleep.

  A peaceful night...

  The next day, when Qin Miao woke up, Xie Yan was already gone. She felt around herself in a daze, then turned over and moved her body, and couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. Wasn't the atmosphere last night great? What's wrong with him?

  Zi Xuan walked in and saw her mistress sighing and leaning on the edge of the bed, so she pushed her playfully: "Madam, get up and wash your face."

  "Alas... Sister Zi Xuan... alas..." Another sigh.

  At this time, Mrs. Li also came in, and had already heard her somewhat resentful tone of voice.

  "What's wrong, madam?" Li Ayi asked, holding the basin and looking at Zi Xuan. Zi Xuan shook her head in confusion.

  Old Lady Li is a seasoned person and personally reminded her own daughter last night, just look at this sloppy appearance, it's already understood seven or eight parts.

  "Didn't it work out last night either?"

  "Auntie!" Qin Miao had just gotten out of bed when her own auntie caused a big commotion. This kind of thing was originally ambiguous, but Li Auntie was able to speak loudly and unscrupulously, as if it were only natural...and what other words, saying them with a straight face and without batting an eyelid.

  She heard a slight anger in her voice, and Li Ayi knew she had guessed correctly. This would soon turn into her sighing and complaining.

  "Alas..."

  "Alas..."

  So this morning was spent in a state of despair and depression by several masters and servants.

  Fortunately, Qin Miaoguang was a flexible girl. She couldn't figure out why Xie Yun hadn't made a move for so long. She decided to change her approach and solve this major problem in her life.
