A Blessed Daughter - Chapter 016

“Second young master, miss said she came to apologize to you, but I…I could not stop…” Xiaobei apologized.

Wei Ruo took the lead and quickly stated her intentions: “Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you for long. I just want to express my apologies. The sound of chopping bamboo today was indeed loud, and I didn’t consider it thoroughly enough. So I came here to apologize to you.”

She offered the jar she carried as an apology gift.

Wei Ruo’s action made the master and servant in front of her a little confused.

The second young master was born from a concubine, and his biological mother was unknown. The madam of this house was not happy, so there was almost no sense of his existence in this mansion. Even the servants seized the opportunity to make him wear tight shoes*.

*wear tight shoes: to make life difficult for somebody.

Although Wei Ruo had just been taken back, she was a legitimate young lady. How could she be so polite to the second young master? Could it be that she had not figured out the situation yet?

“I am not angry with you, and I don’t drink wine. You go back.” Wei Jinyi only glanced at Wei Ruo, and that cold gaze returned to the desk in front of him.

“This is not wine.”

“No matter what it is, you take it back. I’m not angry, I just asked Xiaobei to remind you. You don’t need to specially prepare an apology gift.”

“It is soy sauce, not something valuable. If you don’t need me to apologize, you can consider it as a gift for you.”

What? Soy sauce?

Wei Ruo saw Wei Jinyi’s suspicious expression and explained: “This is the fermented sauce I learned from a grandma in the countryside. It tasted good, and the most important thing is that some tonics were added during the fermentation process, which has a nourishing effect for the body.”

Fermented soy sauce from the countryside grandma? Also had a nourishing effect on the body?

Why did it sound so mysterious?

The method of fermenting soy sauce was a family secret that was not easily passed on to others.

And those with additional medicinal value were rarely known. Most people had never even heard of them.

Wei Jinyi also did not want to get entangled with Wei Ruo, so he stopped asking.

“I see. I accept the apology gift, you can go back.”

Wei Jinyi just wanted to quickly send Wei Ruo away, so he let Xiaobei take the dark jar in Wei Ruo’s hand.

“Well, good, remember to use this soy sauce. It is also delicious when dipped in seafood.”

Taizhou Prefecture was near the sea, and before the Japanese pirates caused trouble, many fishermen went out to sea to fish. The dock sold a large amount of fresh seafood, and nearby residents couldn’t live without seafood.

After saying that Wei Ruo didn’t stay any longer, she turned around and left.

Xiao Bei was at a loss holding the jar and said: “Young master, what should I do with this jar?”

“Put it wherever you like.” Wei Jinyi also didn’t want to waste time on such meaningless things.

Seeing that his young master’s attention was already on the book in his hand, Xiaobei could only find a way to deal with it by himself.

Finally, he chose to put it in the corner of the small kitchen in Yingzhu Garden.

Regarding the act of sending soy sauce, Xiaobei found it very odd.

When other people gave gifts, they all gave something elegant; If not flowers and spices, a fine wine. This young lady was very unique, it was so rare to give someone a jar of soy sauce as a gift.

However, he heard that this young lady had been in the countryside for a few years, farming and working on the land, and it was understandable that she is a little different from other young ladies.
