In addition to the cured meat, bean sprouts, and century eggs at home, it should not be difficult to make a slightly more sumptuous meal.

Madam Liu agreed, but she was still a little panicky.

She only felt better after Qin Xiaoyao calmed her again.

After the meal, Qin Xiaoyao drove the horse carriage out to deliver bean sprouts and century eggs to Fortune Mansion.

That was right. Fortune Mansion had sent someone to her house yesterday to inform her that they would be re-opening today and wanted Qin Xiaoyao to deliver some goods to them.

Qin Xiaoyao happened to have bean sprouts ready for harvesting, so she accepted their order.

When she arrived at the Mansion, Qin Xiaoyao ran into Uncle Zhao as soon as she entered the premises.

The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and chatted for a long time.

Uncle Zhao had heard from Qin Dazhuang about some of the major deeds that Qin Xiaoyao had done recently. He was very impressed with Qin Xiaoyao.

“You silly girl. It’s a pity that you were born a girl. Otherwise, you will have a bright future if you can get to know the Second Prince this time!”

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“Hehe! I think things are very good the way they arc now.

“If I am a man and the Second Prince holds me in high regard, I will have to follow him to the battlefield. How can I still lead a peaceful life? And I won’t be able to take care of my family.” Qin Xiaoyao’s attitude was very calm.

Uncle Zhao thought for a moment and nodded with a smile. “You have a point…” he responded.

“Oh yes. The Second Prince just sent someone to inform us this morning that he’ll be paying my house a visit at noon.

“My house… we don’t have anything good to serve him. Do you think…” Qin Xiaoyao said as she looked in the direction of the kitchen.

The market had just recovered, and many ingredients were not easy to buy.

On the other hand, Fortune Mansion had a great reputation and a wide network of supply channels. They definitely didn’t lack ingredients.

Uncle Zhao was very surprised.

“The Second Prince… is really going to your house?” he asked.

“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao replied. She looked at Uncle Zhao with a pair of big eyes that were filled with pleading.

“If you have extra ingredients, how about you sell some to me? It will also save me the trouble of searching all over the place.”

Uncle Zhao was silent for a moment.

“Sure! However, good ingredients are hard to come by now. The meat in the kitchen was also obtained when our boss approached the supplier in person. I don’t dare to share too much with you.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up.

“It’s fine. It’s just to serve one or two meals. I won’t use too much ingredients!” she hurriedly said.

Even though she said that, Qin Xiaoyao still picked quite a number of ingredients in the kitchen.

Sigh! On the one hand, they were needed to entertain the Second Prince. On the other, she herself was also craving them.

Anyway, she had just made a fortune and was not short of money now.

After getting the ingredients from the restaurant, Qin Xiaoyao drove the horse carriage away with a satisfied look on her face.

Thereafter, she went to the street to buy tea leaves and wine.

Only then did she go home.

At this moment, the Song family was a hive of activity.

Even though Song Que had also told Madam Liu and the others that they did not have to be too concerned about this, Madam Liu still gathered everyone to clean up the house.

When Qin Xiaoyao returned, she was greeted with the sight of the entire family working together. Even Song Que was assigned to wipe the tables.

When Madam Liu saw Qin Xiaoyao return, she also assigned work to her.

When Qin Xiaoyao recalled that New Year was in ten days, she thought it would be good to clean up the house in advance and so she complied.

After sending the ingredients to the kitchen, she joined the spring-cleaning team.

The more people there were, the faster things could be done. In just over two hours, the house was thoroughly tidied up.

Without even taking a break, Madam Liu took Song Yun and Wang Xiaomei to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Qin Xiaoyao followed, thinking that she would help out too, but she was driven out by Madam Liu.

“Leave the kitchen to us. You go change your clothes and tidy yourself up. Later, you and Que’er will receive the guests together,” Madam Liu urged. There was even a hint of disdain in her eyes when she looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

Ever since the mountain bandits attacked Mountain Spring Town, her daughter-in-law had almost never worn women’s clothing. She didn’t even bother with details when she dressed up and didn’t look like a woman at all.

Now that the bandit trouble had been quelled, this daughter-in-law should look more like a woman.

Qin Xiaoyao lowered her head and looked at the men’s clothes she was wearing. She realized that these clothes were indeed inappropriate.

“Okay.” After saying that, she left.

Upon returning to her room, she went to look for the silk clothes she bought yesterday.

Then, she complained to Song Que about how her mother-in-law despised her.

Song Que laughed in amusement.

“The important guest will be visiting soon, so we should be more mindful.”

When he saw that his wife was not in a good mood, he said, “I will go get the clothes and personally help you dress up. How about it?”

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Hubby!” She finally consented with a smile.

Song Que then went to get her clothes.

Following that, he personally helped Qin Xiaoyao change her clothes.

After that, he brought her to the dressing table and helped her comb and tie her hair. He even styled her hair into a very beautiful bun.

Qin Xiaoyao had always lived a rough life. As she found it too troublesome to bundle up her hair properly, she usually did it in the simplest way, which could be done in two or three moves.

Now that she had seen Song Que’s craftsmanship, the woman’s eyes were filled with joy.

If she could be beautiful, why would she want to be rough-looking?

Of course, the premise was that she should not have to spend too much time and effort to be beautiful.

“Hubby’s styling skills are really good!” The woman was not stingy with her praise.

Song Que looked at his beautiful wife and was also very pleased.

“That’s because my wife is good-looking,” he said.

His wife was indeed good-looking.

With just a little dressing up, she could look simply stunning.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face turned red.

She reached out and touched the bun Song Que had combed for her. “Hubby, where did you learn this skill from?” she asked, her tone already tinged with a bit of jealousy.

Using this trick to please women was too familiar. Could he have learned it from another woman?

Song Que was astonished.

“It’s such a simple hairstyle. Is there a need to specially learn it?” he asked in return.

Although this kind of hair bun was not common in Mountain Spring Town, in his previous life, most women of the capital combed their hair like this. What he had done was just a basic outline, done in the simplest style.

It was much more complicated if he went for the exquisite style.

Qin Xiaoyao was astounded.

“Is it… so simple?” she asked.

She recalled that Song Que had indeed finished combing her hair very quickly just now. Well, it did seem… pretty simple.

When he saw the woman lower her head, Song Que understood at once.

“It’s only a few steps. If you want to learn, I can teach you,” he said softly.

Qin Xiaoyao immediately raised her head.

“Great!” she quickly answered.

After that, she allowed Song Que to undo her hair bun and he began to teach her.

The steps were indeed not that complicated. After Qin Xiaoyao watched him a few more times, she began to do it herself.

Then, very quickly, she was able to comb her hair into a bun.

The woman was overjoyed to learn a new skill.

She got up and clamored to do up a hair bun for Song Que.

Being a man, Song Que was naturally unwilling.

As a result, the couple chased each other and fooled around until they both fell on the soft couch.

The atmosphere became lovey-dovey, and the passion in Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was ignited…

Just as she leaned closer, Song Que reached out and covered her mouth.

Then Qin Xiaoyao heard the man say in a hoarse voice, “It’s getting late. The Second Prince will be arriving soon.”

The fire in her eyes dissipated a lot instantly. When she saw the light sweating on Song Que’s forehead and his Adam’s apple bobbing, Qin Xiaoyao stood up.

Alright, the timing was not right…

If her husband could hold back, so could she!
