Chapter 49 Thousand Layers of Waves (Second update today)
"The white porridge that Mr. Zhao makes every day is terrible..." Jiang Yiling complained about the arrangements in the imperial dining room.
Li Yinwan on the side filled him with a bowl of pork belly soup and served it to him. It warmed his stomach and soothed his spleen and stomach.
"If diet is supplemented by medicinal materials, they can complement each other." Li Yinwan responded.
Outside the window, Zhao Li, the principal, looked at everything in the palace and felt a little envious. The aloof prince actually talked to a cook like this.
She felt more and more that this Li Yinwan was not simple.
After returning to the restaurant and doing the relevant food management and accounting registration, Li Yinwan packed up and went back to his residence.
Along the way, Li Yinwan watched the bustle of Yucheng Commercial Street and bought some pastries to take back.
She lived in the side room of Shangshu Mansion, and no one visited her on weekdays except Sheng Qian. When she entered the door, she saw Sheng Qian sitting over there, holding a scroll in his hand.
"Eh? Is this...?" Li Yinwan noticed Sheng Qian's mood and looked a little unhappy.
"You're back..." Sheng Qian stood up and looked into Li Yinwan's eyes.
Li Yinwan's eyes were filled with smoke, but his face was blank.
"My father wants to adopt you as his adopted daughter, and a ceremony will be held soon." Sheng Qian did not ask Li Yinwan what he thought, but made the decision for her.
"The Shangshu Mansion is not that good, and I don't want to be here that much." Li Yinwan realized in an instant that the person in front of him might not be his official wife, so why should he be so close?
"Now you have no one to rely on. After leaving Shangshu Mansion, you are unable to live."
"How do you know that I can't live? No matter what identity I have, I can live well. Survival is instinct." Li Yinwan knew that he was fine.
"Don't you want to do business?" Sheng Qian took out Li Yinwan's previous house deed and shop deed wrapped in the scroll.
"This is yours. You don't have to live in Shangshu Mansion, but this status will bring you convenience."
Sheng Qian immediately noticed Li Yinwan's lips, which seemed particularly beautiful today, as if there was a faint smile.
It's like waves rushing through thousands of waves, beating the dry heart continuously, surging and disappearing.
"You..." Sheng Qian stepped closer to Li Yinwan.
When Li Yin saw something was wrong, he instinctively fled and retreated step by step.
But he forced her to the wall, and when he lowered his head, he could see Li Yinwan's deer-like eyes. Although he was determined, there was also a hint of fear.
Sheng Qian couldn't suppress his inner emotions and wanted to drop his lips, but Li Yinwan used both hands to support him and push him away.
"Brother, please... pay attention." Li Yinwan turned around and looked at Sheng Qian's lonely eyes. For some reason, he felt a little better.
She realized that there was an unknown person living in her heart, who seemed to be watching everything that happened to her with a pair of eyes. However, this person was completely repulsive to Sheng Qian.
Obviously, Sheng Qian didn't know what that power was, and he felt frustrated.
He punched the wall angrily, then turned his head and looked at Li Yinwan, wanting to say harsh words, but he couldn't.
"That's it. In a few days, there will be a family recognition meeting. Relatives and friends will come. It is also for your reputation." Sheng Qian dropped the scroll and walked out.
A few days passed like this, and Li Yinwan went to work in the beverage bureau every day, constantly developing medicinal and dietary formulas to regulate the prince's spleen and stomach. Director Zhao Li was always nearby, watching Li Yinwan quietly, and then wrote down some important points.
She still regarded Li Yinwan as her opponent, but she was quietly learning from his strengths. At the same time, she was secretly waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity that would make Li Yinwan unable to stand up.
Because Sheng Shangshu was not in good health, the matter of family recognition was not made grand. Instead, Li Yinwan directly asked Li Yinwan to pay homage to the ancestors of the Sheng family in the ancestral hall.
Neither the legitimate son nor the legitimate daughter participated, only Sheng Qian was involved. When outsiders saw this, they were also sad.
At the banquet, Sheng Qian took Li Yinwan to sit down and chatted with relatives and friends of the Sheng family. Li Yinwan was dressed in a dark green brocade dress, embroidered with landscape patterns, and the cuffs were dark red lace. She was dignified and elegant, but also a little depressed.
"I heard that King Yu won the battle and will be back soon."
"Yes, yes, I heard that I also brought back a professed general."
"It seems that she has never been married..."
At the dinner table, several women began to chat about what they had seen recently. When they heard that they were not married, they all thought of their own daughters or the unmarried women of the right age around them.
"Ahem..." Sheng Qian walked over from the main table. Hearing the conversation of the women, he secretly coughed a few times.
"Everyone, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Although Sheng Qian glanced at Li Yinwan, he felt a little sad.
"The engagement letter has been issued, and I will propose to marry Zhao Lin, the second daughter of the Zhao family." Although Sheng Qian looked at everyone, he kept looking at Li Yinwan from the corner of his eye.
He expected Li Yinwan to make some move, even a little bit of jealousy, which would make him feel her emotions.
Li Yinwan was indeed surprised, but it was just a surprise. In recent days, she had been wondering who this person was, but now she knew it, and from now on they would be brother and sister getting along.
As for Zhao Lin, Li Yinwan guessed that she was probably the girl who stopped the carriage in the middle of the road that day.
Except for the unknown person who seems to exist in her heart, Li Yinwan feels that she has no feelings at all. She hopes to do a good job in the career of "Li Yinwan" and live well. If possible, she can return to the future world,
Live your own little life.
"Congratulations, brother." Li Yinwan's congratulations were sincere and heartfelt.
Sheng Qian responded to everyone else's congratulations, but for Li Yinwan, he chose to remain silent. He lowered his head, turned around, and walked to another table.
This meal was at noon. Li Yinwan didn't eat long before he returned to the drinking bureau. Seeing that everyone was resting, he went to the rockery in the main palace and sat down.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yiling's voice came from the side.
It’s true, you are everywhere! Li Yinwan thought to herself.
"What? You missed me, so you came to me?" Jiang Yiling was indeed confident, but he noticed that Li Yinwan seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Something on your mind?"
"I'm telling you, other men are just assholes, why not like me?" Jiang Yiling thought it was Li Yinwan who was in emotional distress, so he explained his theory like a friend of women.
"I may have lost some memories, which makes me feel very troubled. I can't tell who the people around me are, whether they are good or bad." Li Yinwan is indeed confused, just like Li Yinqiao that day, he no longer remembers it.
"Never mind it, the past is gone, just look at the present. Besides, are there absolutely good and bad people in this world? Not necessarily..." Although Jiang Yiling is narcissistic, he has his own understanding of the world.
"Everything is worse than..."
"Eat, drink and have fun. Speaking of which, I have always suspected that you have a crush on me..." Jiang Yiling looked serious.
Li Yinwan rolled her eyes at him.
"No, no, no, I'm so handsome, it's normal for you to have a crush on me." Jiang Yiling looked understanding.
Li Yinwan was speechless and looked at Jiang Yiling as if he were a mental patient.
This guy, in such an environment, can do it without losing his will and being purely narcissistic!
Chapter completed!
