章 2296: It's Not That Easy

Jiang Yao shrugged and pretended she could not do anything. It was not that she was lazy; it was just that she lacked talent. What she created was incompatible with delicacies.

Most importantly, Lu Xingzhi did not wish for her to cook. Her skin was sensitive, and a drop of oil could cause redness for days.

She was spoiled as a child, and Lu Xingzhi spoiled her as an adult. As a result, everyone in the county praised Jiang Yao for her good reputation.

Lunch was a lot of fun. Mrs. Jiang and Madam Cheng only took a short break before returning to work for the evening's big dinner.

Lu Xingzhi escorted Jiang Yao to the courtyard for a walk. Cheng Jinnian stood behind her. Cheng Jinnian's gaze never left Jiang Yao as he walked in front. He was occasionally drawn to the flowers that bloomed in the courtyard. He would call out to Jiang Yao and inquire about them.
