Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!

Chapter 137: Something on Your Mind

Quickly, the eager eyes of three people turned into the eager eyes of four, as Mr. Chu joined in too, all looking at Qu Fulan, "Is there more?"Qu Fulan hadn’t had time to say anything when Pei Ji’an couldn’t tolerate it anymore and spoke, "It’s about enough, every single one of you acting like you haven’t eaten meat in several lifetimes."

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Qu Fulan had noticed earlier that these people’s temperaments seemed quite arrogant; saying they were increasingly rampant was not overstating it. They were standard spoiled young masters, yet in their words, they more or less yielded to Heir Pei. None opposed when Pei Ji’an spoke.

This situation was also quite understandable; although they were peers, they still relied on their elders for living. Pei Ji’an was already a towering figure, hard not to admire and obey.

Among these people, the son of the Ministry of Justice, Wei Xu, looked somewhat androgynous, and his figure was slim; no one would doubt if he disguised as a woman.

Having such a gentle-looking leader in the Ministry of Justice must be a nightmare for many criminals.

Meanwhile, at the Pei Mansion, Third Miss and others were accompanying the old lady for a meal.

The elderly lady often had a poor appetite due to her age and couldn’t help but think of Qu Fulan.

"It’s a pity she’s not with me anymore; otherwise, I am extremely satisfied with her culinary skills."

Cheng Ru smiled and said, "I’ve only had the milk tea Fulan made, nothing else yet."

The old lady said, "Her culinary skills ensure that you’ll want another meal after eating one."

Cheng Ru followed up, "With such high praise from you, I’ll definitely have to try it."

Third Miss then said, "Now that Fulan is working for Second Brother, she rarely has the time to make delicious food for us. If you truly want to eat, you could go to ’Flower Garden Ode’ to try; the taste there is similar to what Fulan makes."

"Then let’s go tomorrow," Fang Yuan, who liked going out, suggested.

Cheng Ru, however, said, "Restaurants can be noisy and chaotic. It’s too hot; I won’t be going."

"This restaurant is different; it offers good books for listening, with ice cubes as well, not hot at all. Even our ancestors enjoy going there to listen to books," Third Miss explained.

The old lady also said, "The more people the merrier. It’s boring at home. If you go to listen to ’Journey to the West,’ I guarantee you’ll want to go again."hird realized so far; the remaining two-thirds depend on whether her plans proceed smoothly, unlike the modern times when they were thwarted and ended in failure.

Things should be better in ancient times here.

Anyway, as long as Heir Pei doesn’t fall, she can basically rest at ease.

However, unforeseen events could still happen, such as if someday Heir Pei marries, and if his wife dislikes her, she’d need another plan.

After all, she’s not universally adored, able to please everyone; the future aside, currently, the number of people who dislike her is already quite large.

So for now, she should get to know more people and accumulate connections, to avoid being caught off guard if unexpected changes occur.

"Why are you alone here, daydreaming?"

A voice broke Qu Fulan’s reverie; she promptly sat up, "It’s cool here, came out for some fresh air. How come you also came out, Heir Pei?"

This evening they didn’t go back to the city but stayed at the country house overnight; the brothers finally gathered, bound to drink a bit, so Qu Fulan came out.

"The servants said you were here, so I came out to see." After saying this, he lifted his robe and sat before the stone table.

A servant promptly presented hot tea.

Qu Fulan hastily came off the rock and sat by the stone table together.

"You have something on your mind, what are you thinking about?" He spoke lightly but in a certain tone.
