Exile

72

In order to avoid meeting with Consort Lou, Su Qingbai simply stayed in the room all day long. All he had to do was to eat and drink, poop and pee, and tease Jiang Fanfan.

In this way, Su Qingbai finally passed the days without wind or waves. Only from time to time, he heard the servants said behind his back that Consort Lou lost her temper again, hit, and punished whoever.

In this short period of time, Su Qingbai finally saw the bad-tempered Consort Lou in Hu Hong's and the others' mouths. Although he felt a little pity for those who were punished, the person who punished them was Consort Lou, and so he could not help them. The only thing he could do was to ask Steward Liu to pay more attention to those people.

Life went on day by day. Although the house was noisy, Su Qingbai was not so worried as long as he thought Jiang Mao would come back soon. In the absence of Jiang Mao, he just needed to take good care of his youngest son and wait for him to come back.

Thinking of Jiang Mao, Su Qingbai suddenly missed him. He hugged Jiang Fanfan and kissed him. Then he looked up to the outside. He could not help frowning. He asked the maidservant outside, "Why hasn't my meal delivered yet?"

It happened that another maidservant who went to pick up the meal also came back. She came back empty-handed and said to Su Qingbai, "Lady Lou has several guests today and wants to set up a feast. All the cooks in the residence were called over."

Su Qingbai frowned, thought for a moment, and said to the maidservant, "go and see what else is left in the kitchen. Let's make it ourselves."

In the first place, there was also a small kitchen here, which Jiang Mao used to cook food for him. When Jiang Mao left some time ago, the kitchen was no longer used, and there were no more ingredients in it.

Thinking of this, Su Qingbai was in a mood. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he cooked to kill time.

"Gongzi, what do you want to eat?"

After Su Qingbai thought about it, "Eat hot pot. Go to see what good ingredients are there in the kitchen."

The maidservant withdrew, then ran to the kitchen and quickly picked up a lot of ingredients.

Because some of the ingredients had been processed at an earlier time, they were soon ready. Just about to get the pot down, someone knocked from outside.

The person coming was Jiang Jun.

"It seems that I came at a good time," said shameless Jiang Jun with a laugh.

Su Qingbai probably remembered their enmity as he immediately blocked in front of the pot and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare for your share."

Jiang Jun just grinned and squeezed in. "It's fine, it's fine. I'll be full of some soup."

That's what he said. But as he sat encircling the pot, facing a pot of dishes, how could he not go for a taste?

When Jiang Mao returned, the still somewhat little Su Qin had been carried away by Madam Su. Su Caicai was still playing in the hall alone.

After taking a glimpse, Jiang Mao couldn't look on, because, at the moment, Su Caicai was playing with a rope which was wounded around the leg of a stool on the ground. He was even crawling around; he was dirty.

Not bothering with the happy person who was playing inside, Jiang Mao quietly backed out. After he thought about it, he went to make some after-meal snacks.

Half an hour later, Jiang Mao came in with a plate of after-meal snacks. He sniffed at it himself and was very satisfied with the aroma of the snacks. It was very fragrant and sweet.
