"Master, Master, it's great news!"
The old butler said as soon as he came back. Su Huanli was happy and asked, "Is it done?"
"It's done!"
The old butler clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Li is really fond of delicious food. He agreed at once."
Su Huanli smiled coldly and said in a low voice, "If this dish is sent to the restaurant, it will definitely be a great profit. He was raised by Li Shanbao. If he doesn't agree, it will be strange!"
Speaking of this, Su Huanli couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that our Su Family is engaged in the cloth business. Otherwise, Li Wei won't make a lot of money easily."
Only then did the old steward's blockhead realize that the Patriarch had such intentions. No wonder Li Wei, that bastard, agreed so readily.
"Master, the recipe …"
"Take the ink, paper and inkstone and go to Erya." Su Huanli said and frowned, "It's a matter of great importance … Well, take her to the study and find a suitable excuse."
In the small courtyard, Su Li was sitting and basking in the sun. Her eyes were slightly closed and she seemed to be asleep.
Suddenly, her ears moved slightly and she opened her eyes. She gently covered the Dictionary of Dahan on the stone table with one hand.
After that, the old butler pushed the door and came in. Seeing the Second Miss with a red face, he couldn't help but smile, "Second Miss, Master wants you to go to the study."
Su Li seemed to be scared and stayed in place. The butler continued to explain helplessly, "It's about the Zongzi."
Su Li was suddenly enlightened. She stood up and tidied her cotton-padded clothes. She trotted into the kitchen with her long hair swaying. She was very lively.
The old butler shook his head and suddenly his eyes fell on the delicate book on the stone table. His face immediately darkened.
"Grandpa Butler, I'm ready!"
Su Li came out with the basket in her arms. The old butler asked expressionlessly, "Second Miss, where did you steal this book? Did you steal it from the First Master's study? "
Su Li trembled slightly and her face turned pale. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said with a crying tone, "Grandpa Butler, I have never stolen anything. I didn't steal the luminous pearl. "
The old butler sighed. He did not expect that his words would remind the Second Miss of her previous miserable experience. He could not help but soften his tone. "Tell Grandpa Butler, where did this book come from?"
"Big Brother gave it to me." Su Li blinked and her eyes were bright, "Eldest Brother said that he was leaving. Give me the book to remember him."
When the old housekeeper heard this, he immediately sighed deeply. The phrase "seeing something reminds me of someone" was definitely said by Eldest Young Master. Second Miss was illiterate, so it was impossible for her to say such cultured words.
"Grandpa Butler has misunderstood you." The old butler gently touched Su Li's head for fear of scaring her again, "But don't let the Lord see it. He will be unhappy."
Su Li nodded, and then said dejectedly, "Unfortunately, I don't know any of the paintings on it, and I don't know why you gave it to me."
When the old butler heard this, he was stunned and revealed a thoughtful expression.
Did the First Young Master hope that the womenfolk in his family could read?
At this time, Su Li took out a Zongzi from the basket and handed it to the old butler. She smirked and said, "Here you are. Grandpa Butler hasn't eaten the Zongzi made by Erya!"
The old butler came to his senses and immediately pushed it away, saying, "How can I eat such expensive things? Second Miss, keep it for yourself."
Su Li pursed her lips and forced the Zongzi into the old butler's hands. She whispered, "This is a gift that Erya secretly left for you. Grandpa Butler has worked so hard. What's wrong with eating a Zongzi?"
The old butler did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he grinned and put the Zongzi into his arms.
He had never found that the Second Miss was so considerate to servants before. He clearly scared her just now, but this little girl did not care at all.
The Third Miss ordered him around like a slave. Even if he did it perfectly every time, she didn't say a good word … It seemed that he had to think more about the Second Miss in the future.
After secretly making up his mind, the old butler saw the copybook on the stone table again. His eyes suddenly brightened and a plan came to his mind.
As soon as Su Li and the old butler left, the West Courtyard received the news of Zhu 'er. Zhu Yan sat nervously at the head of the bed, with cold sweat on her forehead and panic in her eyes.
"Is it possible that the Lord found something?"
Zhu Yan thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt. Except for that matter, she could not think of any other reason for the old butler to ask Erya to go to the Main Courtyard alone.
"No, I can't panic! If I leave, what about Zipei? "
Halfway through packing, Zhu Yan gritted her teeth and went to the dressing table. She opened the secret compartment under the table and fumbled for a moment. Then she took out a white jade pendant.
The jade was warm to the touch, pure and flawless. Even an idiot could see that this jade was extremely precious. The pattern on the jade pendant was not complete at first glance. It seemed to be the lower body of an animal. But Zhu Yan pondered for many years, but she did not know what it was.
Zhu Yan stared at the jade pendant and calmed down after a while.
This jade pendant was exactly what she got from Erya when she picked it up.
She had never seen such a precious jade pendant. Erya's family background must be extremely extraordinary. But she also checked that there was no birthmark on the girl's body!
