Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots

Chapter 2248: Little Bun Romance 02_2

Xia Ke was speechless, her glance just happened to catch the letter sent by He Lianyu, and she quickly changed the subject: "Aunt, is this the letter from that annoying guy? Hmm? And my mother has to open it?"

Tian Hui didn’t notice the other things Xia Ke said, but was very sensitive to the term "annoying guy," and immediately asked, "What annoying guy? Have you met him before?"

If they had met, it would be easier to talk about, she could just ask what happened, and if there was any possibility of taking it further.

Xia Ke thought this wasn’t good and quickly defended herself: "Never met, never met, I just don’t find him very pleasing to the eye."

Not pleasing to the eye? Tian Hui was a bit disappointed. Could it be that this little girl didn’t fancy that Young Master Helian? But she thought Young Master Helian was quite good, at least better than the other men in the Capital city!

"Oh, Aunt, can we not talk about him? What do you think is in this letter? Does my mother know that Princess Jing? Why is she writing to my mother specifically?"

Earlier, while hiding behind the screen, she had heard the conversation between He Lianyu and Tian Hui clearly, and naturally knew that this letter was sent by Princess Jing, the famous matchmaker, Little Peach of Xiliang.

"I suppose so! But I don’t know if they know each other." Tian Hui also looked puzzled: "I’ve never heard your mother mention it before!"

Tian Hui and Lin Yuan’s relationship was not just an ordinary sister-in-law relationship; before marriage, the two were close friends who spoke about everything, and after marrying into the Xia family and becoming sisters-in-law, they were still inseparable, unlike other sisters-in-law who pretended harmony but bore grudges.

So, whether Lin Yuan knew Princess Jing or not, Tian Hui knew a bit about it.

Xia Ke flipped the letter back and forth, then suddenly grinned: "Aunt, since my mom is not home, why don’t we open it and have a look?"

"No way!" Before Xia Ke could finish, Tian Hui already stopped her: "This is a letter from Princess Jing to your mother, we can’t just open and read it."

To prevent Xia Ke from secretly opening it, Tian Hui quickly took back the letter.

Reluctant to give up, Xia Ke smiled: "Aunt, look, since my parents left, they haven’t cared about anything else. Who knows when they’ll come back? What if this Princess Jing has something urgent? If we help open it and it turns out to be something important, we can quickly send a message to our parents through the Xia Family Army’s Hidden Guard. Don’t you think?"

Tian Hui pondered for a moment, it did seem to be the case. After all, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng going out and not returning wasn’t the first time, and indeed, many things did get delayed because they couldn’t be found previously!

"Well, should we open it and take a look?"

Seeing Tian Hui finally relent, Xia Ke was elated, she took over the letter and tore it open in one go: "Aunt, you’re absolutely right, we really should open it and take a look!"

Xiliang is far from Dayong, though there has been trade these years, to send a letter from such a distance, this letter must hold unusual content.

However, as Xia Ke unfolded the paper, she was startled.

There was no important content at all, not even the densely packed words she had imagined, just a simple message.

"The Four Great Male Gods, a meeting in Dongling."

Xia Ke murmured, still unwilling to give up, she checked the back of the paper thoroughly, and even carefully examined the envelope again. But aside from this sentence, there really was nothing else.

"What are the Four Great Male Gods? I’ve never heard of them?"

Xia Ke looked at Tian Hui, seeing Tian Hui also looking puzzled, she knew she didn’t know either.

Whiting her lips, Xia Ke wondered if she was deceived by that Princess Jing, why send such a message from so far away?

"Aunt, little sister, what are you doing?"

As they spoke, Ah Jin and Ah Yin returned, seeing the two looking puzzled, couldn’t help but ask.

Tian Hui gave them the letter and recounted He Lianyu’s visit.

Ah Yin’s attention was focused on the letter, but Ah Jin slightly raised an eyebrow, no wonder he felt this He Lianyu was not ordinary, turned out he’s the only son of Prince Jing of Xiliang!

"The Four Great Male Gods, a meeting in Dongling? This Princess Jing wants to invite our mother to Dongling to meet, right?"

Though not as quick-witted as his brother, Ah Yin wasn’t dumb; he blurted out after reading it.

Xia Ke nodded: "I think so. Right, big brother and second brother, why don’t we go to Dongling too? Anyway, mom and dad are not home, what if this Princess Jing has something important? We can represent our mom and go!"

Ah Yin’s eyes lit up, what a good idea!

But Ah Jin disagreed: "No, you secretly read the letter from Princess Jing to mom, that’s one thing, but blatantly taking the letter to Dongling, isn’t that deliberately provoking Princess Jing?"

Before leaving, Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan entrusted him to take care of the siblings, and Ah Jin would not let these two little ones run wild.

Tian Hui also disagreed with Xia Ke’s suggestion: "The journey to Dongling is long, if there’s an accident on the road, it would be troublesome. Listen to your brother, you can’t be willful and act recklessly!"

Xia Ke pouted, it’s not that she’s being reckless, it’s that her parents don’t care about her and her brothers, they’re just off enjoying themselves, she’s not happy either, and she really wanted to go to Dongling with them!
