However, when the woman saw her, she did not restrain herself and instead became even more arrogant. She shouted at her, "What are you doing, Soong Xijiao? Why did you only come out after so long? You made me wait."

Soong Qingchen?

Looking at the woman who had a face similar to hers, Soong Xijiao could tell from the original owner's memories that she was the eldest daughter of the second wife that Second Sister had sent home. Miss Soong Qingchen's temper is difficult to wait upon. She was divorced by her husband half a year after she got married and has been left alone ever since. Instead of thinking about how to settle his own problems, he decided to act like the original owner, thinking of ways to return to his parents' home and continue being a spoiled little miss.

First Madame's birthday feast this time was none other than her urging the original owner to give gifts with him, but in her heart, she had another malicious plan. She would write down both of his gifts in his name, so as to curry favor with First Madame and allow her to return to Soong Family.

After Soong Xijiao found out the reason for her visit, she carelessly asked, "What kind of wind brought Second Sister here today?"

Soong Qingchen saw that her attitude was completely different from before and was also surprised. She scolded, "What are you pretending to be a big tail wolf for? That's for preparing Buddha statues for First Madame. "

Looking at Second Sister's expression, Soong Xijiao felt a sense of disgust. She waved her hand and sat on the stool, saying, "My family doesn't have any rice to cook anymore, so I really don't have the money to buy First Madame any presents. Second Sister can treat Buddha if she wants to."

"What did you say?" Soong Qingchen's eyes widened. She didn't expect the usually timid and weak little sister would actually reject her in such a manner.

Shed was even more surprised. He looked up at Soong Xijiao blankly, thinking: "Doesn't mother want to go back to her parents' home all the time?" He had even had a huge argument with his father earlier, a hunger strike.

"So you're not going back?" Soong Qingchen was so angry that her entire body trembled as she asked.

"I'm not going back." Soong Xijiao said lightly as she looked at her son and said, "Although my family is in a mess now, I have a husband and children. I just want to live a good life. As for the young miss of Soong Family, it doesn't matter to me anymore.

As Soong Xijiao said this, she calmly left another bowl of millet congee for Chestnut and told him, "Eat quickly. After you're done, mother will go wash the dishes."

"Soong Xijiao, you've gone too far." Soong Qingchen panicked. She rushed forward to grab the bowl of chestnuts and threw it on the ground. The hot porridge splattered all over the ground. Shed was so scared that she quickly hid behind Soong Xijiao. However, Second Sister refused to let him go, and started to curse at him.

"Soong Xijiao, what are you pretending for, wasn't it you who wanted to return to the Soong Family the most? "Now, you look like you don't even want anything, but a wild child and a husband of unknown origins are really worth your care?"

When Shed heard this, his eyes reddened and he took a step back.

The anger in Soong Xijiao's heart was as if a well had been spouted out. She stifled a laugh and hid the chestnut behind her back.

"I don't know where the child came from, but calling me 'mother' is something that I should be in pain over. It's something that should be pampered. However, you, Second Sister, haven't gotten married yet and don't have any children, so of course I don't understand." "Second Sister, you're not young anymore. It's time to find a good family and settle this myself, right?"

In the ancient times, leaving the pavilion at the age of seventeen or eighteen was already a common occurrence. Those who were still unmarried even after their twenties had been dragged out naturally had their spine poked in the dark and in the open. Soong Qingchen, of course, had also heard a lot of gossip, and when she heard her words, she immediately became a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, becoming even more irritable.

"What does it have to do with you, Soong Xijiao, whether I marry her or not? "Weren't you crying when you wanted to send me gifts to curry favor with First Madame before going back to be your Miss?"

Soong Xijiao smiled when she heard her words. She rubbed her chestnut head and said, "I used to think that way, but now I've changed my mind. This has nothing to do with Second Sister. It's getting late. I only have some cold porridge and light rice, there's nothing much to entertain Second Sister, please. "

Soong Qingchen was flustered and exasperated. She did not know how the usually obedient little sister had suddenly turned into this, but she did not know what else to say. She could only stomp her feet and leave a few harsh words before leaving in a huff.

Soong Xijiao watched her leave before squatting down and picking up the broken bowl on the ground. She did not care that she had offended Second Sister and could not recover her Soong Family. She only cared about the wasted food and the shattered porcelain bowls on the ground.

Chestnut obediently squatted down to help him clean up, and the moment she got up, she almost bumped into the man who just entered the house. Before she could even see his face, Chestnut sweetly called out 'Daddy' and threw herself into his arms.

Soong Xijiao quickly broke free from his embrace and looked up and down at this husband of hers. The man's physique could not be considered muscular, but he was covered with tendons and muscles. He looked to be a hunter of about 25 to 26 years of age.

The man replied and patted her head. Then, he carried the two Bamboo Rat and walked into the house. Although the two Bamboo Rat were tied up, they couldn't escape the fate of eating in the middle and were still struggling to put up a last-ditch fight.

When Soong Xijiao saw the Bamboo Rat, her eyes lit up. She rubbed her hands together, but did not notice that the man was staring at her with a pair of torch-like eyes.

The gaze penetrated her skin, her muscles, her flesh, her bones, her heart. The man also felt that she was different from the others today. Normally, whenever she encountered these creatures, she would despise them and would complain about them. However, her eyes would never shine like this.

"Was what you said to Soong Qingchen true?"

"Yeah, I feel like there's nothing bad about it right now. Isn't it just having a lot of business? What's so great about it?" But she quickly reacted, "What do you mean? Did you hear it all?"

Zhong Chun did not say anything but he did not reply. He squatted down and used a knife to cut open the Bamboo Rat, then threw the internal organs on the ground to think about how to deal with the two Bamboo Rat s. He planned to turn the meat into dried meat and sell it at the market.

Soong Xijiao squatted beside Zhong Chun, used her hands to support her cheeks and examined the two fat Bamboo Rat s. According to the records of "Compendium of Materia Medica", Bamboo Rat had a lot of ways to eat. In the modern world, Bamboo Rat had many ways to eat. In an era where the internet was well-developed, there were even people who cooked Bamboo Rat videos that became popular online. Thanks to a dad who worked as a chef in a five-star hotel, she was able to gain a bit of knowledge.
