Chapter 219 The Prince is Angry
Princess Qingyue hesitated, unsure whether she should continue eating. The fruits in the General's Mansion were just too delicious for her; almost every kind of fruit tasted better than any she had ever eaten before.
Especially since the beginning of winter, where in Beijing can you find fruit to eat?
I wonder where the fruit in the general's mansion came from. It looks so fresh, like it was just picked from the tree. It's really mouthwatering.
Forget it, let's save our appetites to try the food Miss Xue prepared herself and see if it's really as delicious and tempting as my brother says.
A faint sense of anticipation stirred within me.
In order to prepare the ingredients needed for the New Year's banquet the day after tomorrow, Xue Ruanruan specially borrowed Murong Xun's private residence in the capital to store the supplies transported from her space.
Murong Xun naturally had no objections, and driven by curiosity, he even went to that abandoned house.
When I saw the warehouse piled high with white rice and flour, fresh and crisp vegetables, colorful fruits that looked like they had just been picked from the tree, golden and crisp dried fruits, and freshly slaughtered beef, mutton, pork, deer and other meats that took up most of the warehouse, I was stunned.
"These are the things Miss Xue borrowed to store in this house?"
The supplies were handed over just last night, and in less than half a day, so many more have been produced, as if they were inexhaustible. Murong Xun was deeply shocked.
In this freezing winter, when even a blade of grass is hard to find outside, where did Miss Xue get all these supplies?
"Yes, master."
Yueyin was in charge of guarding the supplies and knew everything about Miss Xue borrowing the house.
Why did she suddenly need so many supplies?
"I heard it was to hold a welcome banquet. The Xue clan held this event to welcome Miss Xue back to the world and to invite relatives and friends."
"Welcome banquet... Has the General's Mansion sent out invitations?"
Murong Xun paused, feigning indifference, and asked the question that concerned him most.
"The orders have been distributed to all the companies."
Realizing the purpose of her master's question, Yueyin was taken aback and answered truthfully.
"The manor... never mind, I understand."
Murong Xun's voice suddenly turned cold, as if he were shrouded in a layer of frost, sending chills down one's spine.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and strode away.
Yueyin watched her master's retreating figure and knew he was angry.
She sighed slightly. Miss Xue had acted somewhat unfairly in this matter. Even the headmaster and teachers of Luming Academy had sent invitations; how could she have omitted her own master?
No wonder the master was angry.
That's absolutely outrageous.
The kitchen of the General of the Nation's Mansion
Xue Ruanruan was extremely busy when she suddenly sneezed loudly. She touched her nose and wondered, "Who's cricketing behind my back?"
"Young Miss, please go inside and wait. The other servants can take care of the rest."
Luo Xue thought her young mistress had caught a cold, so she quickly took out a cloak and put it on her.
"It's alright. Have the wagons carrying supplies arrived yet?"
Suddenly remembering that she hadn't retrieved the supplies she had stored at Murong Xun's villa, she sent someone in a carriage to retrieve the supplies that were temporarily stored there.
If it were only her grandmother, mother, and two sisters-in-law, she naturally wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. There are many servants in the mansion, so in order not to attract their attention, she can only create the illusion of purchasing supplies from outside.
"This servant will go and take a look."
Snow fell quickly and walked towards the front yard.
Xue Ruanruan glanced at the sky. Snowflakes, as white as goose feathers, were falling endlessly. The sky remained gloomy, as if it were the end of the world, which made people feel apprehensive.
