Chapter 298 Everyone Left
After Ji Lingfeng left, Shen Cao looked down at the package in her hand.
Since he said he would open it after he left, she would open it then.
It's still early, and he's already prepared a package for her, so she should give him a proper send-off.
She took Shen Qing, Shen Wan, and Xiao Qi to the market and seafood market.
They bought all the dishes that Ji Lingfeng and the others liked to eat. On the way back, they passed by Uncle Li's butcher shop and bought another ten catties of pork foreleg.
She has plenty of meat sauce in her shop, but the pork jerky has to be made to order.
Shen Cao spent the entire day engrossed in cooking in the kitchen.
When it was time for dinner, He Yu knocked on Ji Lingfeng's door.
"Master, Miss Cao'er asked me to invite you to dinner."
Ji Lingfeng frowned, glanced at the letter on the table, and was about to refuse.
“When Grass Girl heard that we were leaving tomorrow, she specially bought a lot of vegetables today and cooked a big meal herself.”
"She insisted that I invite you over."
Ji Lingfengzi told Shen Cao today that they were leaving because they didn't want her to work too hard, but she still prepared a farewell dinner for them.
"Okay, I'll be there shortly."
When Ji Lingfeng arrived, everyone was already seated.
He walked over and sat down next to Shen Cao. "Thank you for your help, Cao'er."
Shen Cao shook her head. "It's no trouble at all."
"It's all thanks to you that I was able to acquire such a treasure... treasure accountant."
Shen Cao had just heard Wan Yue say that this Zhang Jie was actually from the capital and used to be the manager of Xiangmanlou, the number one restaurant in the capital.
She certainly couldn't find someone like that on her own.
When she heard Ji Lingfeng say he was leaving, she was worried about where to find a new accountant for Baicao Garden.
Unexpectedly, Ji Lingfeng had made arrangements for her before he left.
It's only right that she gave him a farewell party after a long day of work.
At the dinner table, Shen Yu'an frowned as he watched Shen Cao and Ji Lingfeng interact.
On his first day in Xin'an County, he could tell that General Ji Lingfeng seemed to have a very special feeling for Shen Cao.
Before he knew that Shen Cao was his sister, he felt that the two were a good match.
Now that she knows Shen Cao is her younger sister, she finds Ji Lingfeng utterly displeasing.
Especially considering his age, he was two years older than me.
No, no, the age difference between the two is too great.
Ji Lingfeng is too old.
He stood up and raised his glass. "Young Master Ji, I'd like to toast you. Thank you for taking care of Cao'er during this time."
After saying that, he downed his drink before Ji Lingfeng could react.
Ji Lingfeng's expression was indifferent. He glanced at him, raised his hand, and drank the wine beside him. "Taking care of Cao'er is my own choice. There's no need for your thanks."
Shen Yu'an pouted, (ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~
Just wait, you'll get what's coming to you later.
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone's faces showed signs of intoxication.
Shen Yu'an said to Shen Cao, "Cao'er, I came in a hurry this time and forgot to prepare a gift for you. I will definitely make it up to you when I get back."
Shen Cao was a little confused. She always felt that Shen Yu'an's attitude towards her had been better than before since he talked to her parents last time.
In particular, they became much more affectionate towards themselves.
Shen Cao waved his hand, "Brother Shen, you're too kind. We're family, we don't care about such formalities."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu'an raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ji Lingfeng.
Did you hear that? We're on the same side.
Ji Lingfeng pretended not to see it.
So what if we all share the surname Shen? They really think they're something special.
Shen Yu'an felt a little uncomfortable thinking about what he was about to say.
Shen Cao understood his meaning. "Brother Shen, is there something you want to tell me?"
Shen Yu'an nodded gently, "Actually, I also want to say goodbye to you today."
"We should also be heading back to Beijing tomorrow."
He originally planned to stay with Wanyue a little longer, but he couldn't wait any longer and needed to go back and discuss it with his parents.
Send someone to bring Shen Cao back to the capital as soon as possible.
This place is too far from the capital. Once people discover Shen Cao's identity, her situation will be extremely dangerous.
Wanyue was eating her favorite braised pork when she was taken aback by Shen Yu'an's words.
He quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and said anxiously, "Aren't we supposed to stay for another ten days?"
"Cousin, why did you suddenly decide to go back to Beijing?"
"I'm not going back. I'll go back with Wei Siyu in ten days."
Shen Yu'an glanced at Wan Yue, "No, Wei Siyu will come back with us too."
I'll tell you the specific reasons in a bit.
"Listen to me, the sooner you go home, the better."
Wanyue wanted to refuse, but seeing Shen Yu'an's serious expression, she knew that her cousin was not joking.
She pouted and said, "Okay."
Then, with tears welling up in her eyes, she looked at Shen Cao and said, "Sister Cao'er, I can't bear to part with you."
Shen Cao waved to her, inviting her to sit down next to him.
"Sister Grass will also miss you."
"All good things must come to an end. After all this time, don't you miss your family?"
Father Emperor and Mother Empress, she has been out for more than a month. I wonder how Mother Empress's health is.
Thinking of this, she fell silent, burying her head in Shen Cao's arms, lost in thought.
"Since everyone is leaving tomorrow, remember to have breakfast at Shen's Restaurant before you go."
"I've prepared some delicious dumplings for you."
No one refused Shen Cao's kindness.
It seems that ever since I met Shen Cao, both parting and meeting have been very happy things.
Every time they came to Xin'an County, Shen Cao would prepare delicious noodles for them.
On the day I leave, breakfast will definitely be dumplings.
Dumplings on the bus and noodles on the bus.
"Alright, you guys hurry back and pack your bags, you have to get up early tomorrow."
After seeing everyone off, Shen Cao looked at the empty room in front of her and felt somewhat lonely.
After they leave, she'll be all alone again.
The next day, before dawn, the kitchen of Shen's restaurant was already steaming.
Just as the dumplings were cooked, Ji Lingfeng, Shen Yu'an, and Wanyue arrived.
Because of the farewell, no one spoke much at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was somewhat somber.
You could tell everyone was very reluctant to part ways.
The entrance to Xin'an County.
After seeing them off, Shen Cao stretched vigorously; she needed to go back and catch up on her sleep.
I didn't sleep all night in order to prepare food for them.
I'm so sleepy!
One month later…
Shen Cao had just arrived at the Hundred Herbs Garden when Zhang Jie pulled her away.
He said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, something terrible has happened!"
