After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Over there, even though Wen Ning was wary of the masked woman, she couldn't resist Wen Yizhuo's heartless clinging to her side. He was more like a naive and innocent child than ever before. He stood on tiptoe and scratched the edge of the table, staring at the masked woman with sparkling eyes, and kept asking questions, "Auntie, how long will it take for you to get better?"

"It smells so good...Auntie, are you from Shengjing? Where do you live?"

The woman showed no impatience. She tapped his brow with her flour-covered fingertips and said jokingly, "You kid... you're taking advantage of me. I made you some lotus cake out of kindness, but you're thinking of coming to my place every now and then to eat and drink for free? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy and will drug you and then sell you off?"

"No, Auntie is so beautiful, she must be a good person." The little guy said the childish words seriously, and then said, "Besides, I was watching you the whole time, you can't drug me in front of me, right?" After saying that, he grinned and laughed, looking well-behaved and cunning, and with that delicate face, he was very lovable.

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes were filled with smiles as she looked at the child: The little guy had returned to the Wen family not long ago, but he had obviously become more clever.

Sure enough, the water in Shengjing City is more nourishing...

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and her expression behind the veil was a little more bitter. "I'm not from Shengjing. I'm just here to visit my relatives. I'll be leaving in a few days. Even if you want to eat my food, you won't be able to eat it... The food from the shop you went to this morning is pretty good. You can buy from them in the future."

On the side, Wen Ning heard the words, raised her eyes, looked at the other party meaningfully and asked, "Madam has seen us early in the morning? I thought it was a coincidence...it turned out to be a carefully created coincidence." They are not related, so the motive behind this is worth further investigation.

The other person paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Yes, I have some friendship with the shopkeeper. Before he left, he asked me to help him look after the shop for a day, but I am lazy and free-spirited by nature, and I couldn't sit still, so I closed the door, locked it, and went to the opposite door to find a seat by the window to drink tea. I saw you all standing at the door at that time."

Wen Ning looked at the other person's nimble movements and asked calmly, "If that's the case, why didn't Madam tell you before and treat it as an accidental encounter?"

The woman tilted her head and glanced at Wen Ning, then smiled suddenly, "Why isn't it considered a chance encounter? Whether we bumped into each other at the entrance of an alley or caught a glimpse at a teahouse window, isn't it all just a trivial chance encounter? While the sun is shining, I stop to make a plate of delicious lotus cakes for a young man I meet on the street. From now on, in the vast sea of ​​people, I don't know your name, and you don't know where I come from or where I'm going. Isn't this kind of chance encounter also great?"

Wen Ning was slightly startled. The sunlight came in through the open window in the kitchen and fell between the woman's eyebrows, dyeing her dark pupils into a gorgeous bright color. She smiled and spoke, with a bit of uninhibited carefreeness in her laziness, like a cat licking its paws in the warm sun. She said, "The little girl is too cautious. Although this is a good thing, if life is too conventional, it will lack some spirituality and surprises." Unlike that...

The personalities of these two sisters are completely different.

The woman lowered her eyebrows and smiled softly, then took a freshly baked lotus cake and handed it to Wen Yizhuo, "Boy, try it. Is it the taste you want?" As she spoke, she packed the remaining lotus cakes into a food box and handed it to the little guy who squinted his eyes and nodded vigorously after taking only one bite, patting his head unceremoniously, "You must have wasted quite a bit of time, go!"

Wen Ning seemed to have no comment on what she said before. He just took out the silver and handed it to her. The woman smiled and said, "No need. I had nothing to do, so I made a snack for the boy I got along with... It would be too tacky if I charged for it. Go!" After that, she leaned against the stove and smiled and waved her hand to send the guest away.

The woman's face was covered with a thin veil, revealing only a pair of bright and beautiful eyes. She looked like a woman with a smile on her face without any makeup. She must be a free and unrestrained beauty... Wen Ning thought so and thanked her softly. When she left, she left money at the counter. It would be bad to let the woman pay for using someone else's shop and ingredients. She lowered her eyes and looked at the little guy jumping around with a food box beside her. She shook her head helplessly, "Are you happy now?" They are all lotus cakes, and I don't know what the difference is. Why can't those ones be used?

Zhuozhuo didn't protect the food and passed the food box forward, "Aunt, would you like to try one?"

“No need. Give them all to Wen Qian.” She had never been a foodie, and she couldn’t tell good from bad. She thought that what the woman said made some sense. She had been following the rules, being quiet and steady for more than a decade, which was indeed too boring. No wonder when the child was with her, he kept talking about his aunt Wen Qian, saying that she took him to eat delicious food, play fun games, and even raised a little white dog and a bird that could bark... His words were full of pride.

But it was Wen Qian, who was completely unfamiliar to her.

……

When Wen Ning brought the satisfied Wen Yizhuo back to the Kejing Marquis's Mansion, Yuan Ge had already woken up and was drinking the sticky black medicine prepared by Xu Chengjin himself. The medicine had a very strange smell, and Shiyin felt very nauseous just by smelling it. However, her young lady held the bowl of medicine calmly, took a sip gently, as if her nose was not working, then frowned almost imperceptibly and drank it all in one gulp.

When Wen Ning came in, the smell of medicine in the room had not yet dissipated. She frowned and glanced at the medicine bowl on the table that had not yet been taken away. "I heard that you were injured. How are you?"

"No one is injured. Song Wenyuan is the injured one." Yuan Ge shook his head and waved to Zhuozhuo who came up carefully with a food box in his arms. "Why are you hiding? Don't you recognize your aunt after not seeing her for a few days? Aunt is fine. She's just a little tired and took a nap. Did she scare my Zhuozhuo?"

Zhuozhuo shook his head silently, timidly took Yuange's hand, and still said nothing.

The little guy who was still very happy in the carriage became quieter when he saw people. Wen Ning didn't know what was wrong with this kid, so he said, "You said you loved lotus cakes, and that you would be cured after eating them, so you dragged me to the street to buy them, and I waited for a long time. Since you are not injured, why do you need to take medicine? What kind of medicine is this? It smells so bad." It smelled so bad that people subconsciously thought it was not a good medicine.

Wen Ning swallowed the last sentence because she thought about their half-familiar relationship.

Yuan Ge glanced at his hand, motioned for Shi Yin to put it away, and replied casually, "Mr. Xu prescribed it. He said it can calm the nerves."
