Chapter 2027: Chapter 2029: Joyful Harmony

In their rush to bring Xiaoyao back, Xiaoxiao and the others didn’t really get to explore the Capital City, they only wandered around for a morning. Fortunately, they had already bought gifts for the father-in-law and mother-in-law, but didn’t specifically buy for others.

The kids only got a few books and pens from the bookstore, and for other people, it was mostly fabric from the south that they didn’t have in the north. Luckily, the family didn’t say much about it.

Soon, the meal was ready, and everyone moved to the dining room.

With guests at home, the specialty was definitely the grilled fish.

"Miss, this is grilled fish from the pond at home. Give it a try, make yourself at home," said Yang Ming’s father.

"Ah, Uncle, as you said, it’s just like home, you don’t have to specially cater to me," Xiaoyao chuckled and picked up her chopsticks to get some grilled fish.

She wanted to taste how Xiaoxiao made grilled fish here and how it compared to the modern day.

Xiaoxiao naturally understood what Xiaoyao meant and let her be.

On the way, with Yang Qiu around, Xiaoxiao couldn’t chat too much privately with Xiaoyao, but she did tell her everything she had done after arriving here.

"This fish is delicious, I’ve never had such good fish before," Xiaoyao praised after eating.

Even though it wasn’t as flavorful as modern grilled fish, under these conditions, achieving something similar was already quite impressive.

"If you like it, have more."

"Yes, and not just the grilled fish, all the other dishes are delicious too, thanks to the elder and second sister-in-law for their efforts."

"What effort? We do this every day. Have you ever fished? How about going to our Angling Garden tomorrow to take a look and try fishing?" suggested the second sister-in-law.

"Sure, I’ll check it out tomorrow."

"..."

"..."

Xiaoyao was having a pleasant interaction with the Yang Family at the dinner table, either wanting to visit the fish pond or the workshop.

Xiaoxiao kept smiling from the side, secretly thinking that Xiaoyao was so carefree, even more than she was, as their main task hadn’t even been done yet. Did she think this was a vacation?

However, she couldn’t say much; they didn’t go searching for the bracelet right away because it would make the Yang Family suspicious. After all, they couldn’t have a guest suddenly collapse as soon as she arrived, right?

So she thought to go with the flow, wait until after dinner, and when no one was around, they would return to her courtyard to execute their plan.

At the table, the Yang Family learned about what happened to Yang Ming at the exam venue.

This matter couldn’t be kept a secret, considering other candidates were there too, and word would definitely spread once they returned to Shanshi County. The family would know sooner or later, so it was better to talk about it openly.

Yang Ming’s father was fearful after hearing it, "Fourth boy, you really escaped disaster this time."

"Thank goodness, we really have to thank the Fourth Prince, he’s truly a good person."

"..."

"..."

The Yang Family kept praising the Fourth Prince, while Xiaoyao sitting there couldn’t stop her mouth from twitching; she didn’t see what was so good about him.

The family continued talking about this matter, while the men occasionally drank some wine. Xiaoxiao saw that the meal would take a while longer and, seeing Xiaoyao was done eating, she said, "Dad, Mom, you keep eating, I’ll take her to explore my courtyard."

Actually, Xiaoxiao intended to take this opportunity to explain some things to Xiaoyao.

"Alright, you go ahead."

Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance with Yang Ming, then picked up Little Liufu, and took the children back to her courtyard.
