Bab 235: Engagement

Upon spotting Brother Shanmin in the vicinity, Su Ning's countenance eased as she released a sigh of relief. She intended to provide her sister and Brother Shanmin an opportunity to converse privately.

Guiding Xiaoyu into the chamber, Su Ning suggested, "The hour grows late; shall we partake in some delectable yam bean candied haws?"

Innocently, Xiaoyu queried Su Ning, "Auntie, I haven't even tagged you, and yet you're preparing candied haws with yam beans for me?"

With a genial smile, Su Ning elucidated, "You're already clasping Auntie's hand, effectively tagging her. Abandon hesitation, and let us gather yam beans for crafting candied haws. The process demands significant effort."

Frequently glancing back at Su Lan, Xiaoyu inquired, "Won't you lend a hand?"

"Certainly, your mother will join us momentarily."

Only then did Xiaoyu happily reenter the room.
