Chapter 1089 Warming House Banquet

Unable to stop the Su family mother and daughter from moving out, Lord Su was so angry he almost fainted. Only after the carriage had gone far away did he inquire about the whole story, and learned that it was because of Su Xing's marriage. Lord Su was so angry that he didn't eat for three days.

Meanwhile, Su Xing and her mother rode in the princess's carriage and arrived at a small courtyard not far from the east of the city.

The intersection was too narrow for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through, so they had to walk.

After Su's mother and daughter got off the carriage, He Yinuo, curious about where they lived, also got off to see. He Yucheng, worried about his younger sister, could only follow along, not to mention He Xiaobao and He Xiaoliu, who were both his little followers.

The small courtyard was suddenly crowded with people, making it difficult to move.

Su Xing was very efficient. She found a few chairs, wiped them clean with a cloth, and placed them in the courtyard for the distinguished guests to sit down.

"My humble abode is simple and unassuming; I apologize for neglecting my distinguished guests." Su Xing was overjoyed to be able to move out of the Su family home today, and his eyes were full of smiles. However, he also felt ashamed because the new place he bought was so shabby, so his expression was not very natural.

He Yucheng remained silent, his face expressionless, while the other three looked around curiously.

"Sister, this place isn't far from Uncle's house; it's a quiet oasis in the middle of the city," He Xiaobao said. Gu Yi's General's Mansion is just two streets away, making it very convenient to walk there.

"It's nice for two people to live here. It's small and cozy. You guys have a good eye for places," He Yinuo praised.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Because I was in a hurry to buy, I quickly settled on a place that I could afford. If I had looked more closely, I probably should have bought a bigger one so that my mother could live more comfortably."

Madam Su said apologetically, "I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to properly entertain our distinguished guests. If there's an opportunity next time, I'll definitely cook a good meal to express my gratitude." But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had made a mistake. These were all people of noble birth; how could they possibly set foot in their humble courtyard again?

Unexpectedly, He Yinuo was very supportive: "I heard Su Xing say last time that she has some cooking skills, so I suppose Madam Su's cooking skills are also very good. How about we agree that we will come to your housewarming party again in three days?"

Madam Su was flattered and quickly said, "If the princess doesn't mind, please come over. I will definitely use all my skills to cook a table full of delicious dishes."

He Yucheng glanced at his gluttonous younger sister, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not speak to stop her.

Fine, let her make whatever friends she wants. I'll just keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't get scammed.

It is the older brother's responsibility to protect his younger sister's innocence.

As dusk approached, the group was in a hurry to return to the palace. They left after sitting for only a short while. Su Xing escorted them to their carriages and watched them drive away before returning home.

Seeing that she finally had her own little home, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. The mother and daughter casually started a fire and cooked two bowls of vegetarian noodles to spend their first night in their new home.

After returning to the palace, He Yinuo recounted her chivalrous deeds to Tao Yanyan in a flood of words. Tao Yanyan simply smiled and said, "Whatever makes you happy. However, you shouldn't interfere too much in Su Xing's life. You decide how much to do."

He Yinuo nodded: "Mother, rest assured, I understand. We must respect other people's fates. However, I think Su Xing is a good girl, so it wouldn't hurt to help her."

After saying that, she rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, I have already agreed to go to Su Xing's house for a banquet in three days..." He Yinuo pointed to her fingers and said, "Their family used to run a restaurant, so the dishes they cook must taste pretty good. I would like to go and try them."

Tao Yanyan glared at her: "All you know is eating, eating, eating! You've already turned into a little pig, and you're still eating!" Seeing her daughter looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to nod: "Then let Shuang'er go with you. As for the other three kids... they can go if they want, but don't force them if they don't."

Tao Yanyan had already noticed that Yu Cheng did not approve of Yu Nuo's meddling.

He Yinuo nodded: "Your subject will fully consult their opinions and will never force them."

Anyway, the two little followers will definitely follow along happily if there's food. The expressionless prince is busy with his affairs, so it's fine if he doesn't go. It saves him a bowl of rice.

Three days later, several richly dressed children stood at the entrance of the secluded courtyard. Su Xing felt immense pressure as soon as she opened the door. This was because He Yinuo was followed not only by the Crown Prince and two young princes, but also by a group of young men of marriageable age.

He Yinuo smiled sheepishly: "Su Xing, when I heard that I was coming to the banquet today, my brothers and sisters also came along. We came uninvited, and I hope we haven't caused any inconvenience to Madam Su."

Su Xing hurriedly invited everyone in, "It's convenient, it's convenient. My mother cooked a lot of dishes today, there should be enough for everyone, but we don't know if they will suit your tastes."

Su Xing busied himself inviting everyone to sit down. His cousins ​​were quite well-behaved and did not complain about the small courtyard.

"Cousin, there's a fish tank here, and lots of fish in it! They're all alive!" Gu Yi's son, Gu Fengyang, exclaimed excitedly.

"You're not allowed to grab me, or you'll regret it." As soon as He Yinuo finished speaking, her hands were already in the water. Gu Fengyang could only laugh awkwardly, pull his hands out, and wipe the water off himself, which made He Yinuo very disgusted.

“There’s a swing, but this swing is much smaller than the one in my yard. Will it be able to swing?” As he spoke, Tao Zhixing’s youngest son, Tao Songwen, sat on it and swung three feet high, which startled He Yucheng so much that he rushed over and picked him up.

"I'm sorry, Crown Prince, I used too much force just now." Tao Songwen, who had almost tripped and fallen flat on his face, looked at He Yucheng with a blank expression, afraid that his serious Crown Prince brother would punish him.

"Xiao Liu, come over and take Songwen to play somewhere else." He Yucheng spoke up, and He Xiaoliu, who was busy picking fruit under the tree in the yard with He Xiaobao, ran over and handed a pear to Tao Songwen: "It's very sweet, you can try it."

Just as He Yucheng was about to say that the skin hadn't been peeled, Tao Songwen took a big bite, his mouth full of juice.

He Yucheng: "..."

Seeing that her elder brother, the Crown Prince, was staring at her, Tao Songwen thought for a moment and handed him a pear that she had taken a bite out of: "Brother Crown Prince, would you like to try some? It's freshly picked and really sweet."

He Yucheng took three steps back. The pear was not only unpeeled, but it had also been bitten. Only a dog would eat that.

Seeing this, Su Xing, who was not far away, quickly took a clean handkerchief, brought a basin of water, picked several pears to wash, wiped them clean with the handkerchief, and handed them to the young masters.

"It's been washed, Your Highness, would you like to try some?"

He Yucheng's expression calmed down a bit. Thinking that it should be fine after washing, he was about to reach out when a fat hand snatched it away first: "Su Xing, you don't know, my brother won't eat it if it's not peeled." After saying that, He Yinuo took out a small dagger, carefully peeled the skin, and then handed it to He Yucheng.

Su Xing nodded seriously: "We just moved here and haven't bought many things yet. I'll go buy a small knife tomorrow so I can peel things next time."

He Yucheng ate a pear. "Want to come again next time?"

He frowned almost imperceptibly, but said nothing.
