Having just arrived at the Mo Family, Wen Xinya was eager to plan for the future. Thus, in the afternoon, she stayed in her room, drawing, and writing, thinking and thinking as time flew by.

It was only because Uncle Zhang came personally to call for her that she even knew it was time for dinner.

The Mo Family’s dining hall and kitchen were only partitioned by a wall, separating the rooms from the great hall. This detail followed the specialty of the ancient architectural style.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, Grampy was sitting at a long table made of Nanmu wood. Two servants sat at the table too, approximately at the 50 years old mark. Wen Xinya recognized them at a glance. That was Mother He and Mother Jiang; they were both old servants of the Wen Family. They had served Granny in the past, then they brought up Mother safely. Grandpa was grateful to them, so he never once treated them like servants.

In her past life, when she came to the Mo Family, these two Mothers were extremely kind to her. But at the time, she was arrogant and viewed herself highly, thus looking down on them. She did not even want to eat at the same table as them. Grampy was beyond angry at her attitude, but they had never truly gotten mad at her, always letting her have her way and endured her temperament. Subsequently, because of her attitude towards them, Grampy felt guilty and embarrassed. He gave each of them a sum of money and requested them to return to their home villages. That was the reason why Grampy had such a miserable ending.

In this life, seeing them again, Wen Xinya was very pleased, because that means that in this life there were two more people to love her!

“Little… Little Miss!” Mother He and Mother Jiang saw Wen Xinya staring at them, and for a moment, they did not know what they should do or how they should act. They were scared and immediately stood up. They knew it was not the norm for servants and masters to eat at the same table. However, after all these years, their lonely old Master ate alone, so when he asked them to join him they did not refuse.

Since Little Miss is back, Old Master has someone to eat with. Naturally, he would not require their presence.

Old Master Mo raised his brows toward Wen Xinya as an introduction. “This is Mother He and Mother Jiang. Back in the day, they served your Granny. Thanks to them, your mother grew up well, thus they are not strangers. The Mo Family does not have so many rules.”

Wen Xinya smiled at them. “Mother He, Mother Jiang, hello! Please sit!”

Mother He and Mother Jiang’s eyes were as wide as saucers, feeling flattered. “Little Miss, hurry and sit. We don’t know what you like to eat so we intended to ask Old Zhang, but he said you were busy the whole afternoon. Hence, we did not disturb you and simply made some of our signature dishes, but we are not sure if it is to your liking.”

Little did they know that the Little Miss was so approachable and did not mind the status of servants, just like their Missy. She was not like Wen Ruya, that thought herself too highly to even eat at the same table as them.

Wen Xinya looked at the nine dishes and the soup on the table and smiled. Every dish was exquisite. “The dinner is luxurious. I’m sure it will be delicious.”

It was indeed sumptuous, despite only having nine dishes and a soup. However, these were the eight signature dishes of Country Z. Furthermore, the dishes complemented one another, showing the effort put into making the whole dinner.

Attaining affirmation, Mother He and Mother Jiang happily took up their chopsticks and starting piling Wen Xinya’s bowl with food. “Little Miss, you have to eat a lot. You have gone through a lot of hardships outside. Look at how skinny you are! Though girls look good when they are skinny, you are still going through puberty. You must not ruin your body just to look pretty or you will not be able to fix it next time.”
