After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 50 - Xia Lan Visits

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Xia Lan Visits

What was Xia Lan thinking?

Xia Chuyi could guess that Xia Lan simply pinned all her hopes on the He Family.

The He Family was aware of that incident, along with the letters from He Qing.

Xia Lan probably felt that the He Family wouldn’t allow the Xia Family to replace a member.

Xia Chuyi sneered in her heart.

From what she knew about the He Family, it wouldn’t be that simple.

...

After she returned to her hometown in her previous life, the He Family had been the first to ruthlessly kick her when she was down.

“Since the discussion is over, everyone should go back to their own rooms,” Grandma Xia concluded finally.

Then, with a slight glance at Xia Chuyi from her drooping triangular eyes,

“Chuyi, you are quite an adult now. Although this matter can be resolved smoothly, calling off an engagement and replacing someone are always unsightly matters. You should stay home recently and not wander around.”

Calling off an engagement and replacing someone were unsightly, so she should be the one hidden away?

Was it not the person who was suddenly replaced?

At this critical moment, Xia Chuyi did not want to discuss it any further and simply said, “Understood.”

There would be no news from Uncle Qian for a while, and it was a good time for her to thoroughly study the Heavenly Book.

In the rural areas during winter, there was nothing much to do in the fields, and the little housework that was there was mostly taken up by the third room.

Xia Chuyi returned to her home, nestled in the loft, and went into a special space.

She had already opened the Heavenly Book’s cookbook, and now she began to practice cooking the various dishes.

Since she did not plan to sell the ingredients from the space, she decided to use them for experimenting with dishes.

She didn’t bother with the ordinary dishes but was very interested in the Medicinal Food recorded in the Heavenly Book, which had various effects.

The medicinal ingredients for the Medicinal Food were all available in the space. When she went to look for each ingredient, she found many she had never seen or heard of before.

She wasn’t sure if it was because these fields are vastly different from one another, and she had limited exposure, or if these ingredients weren’t from this planet.

Regardless, even if the plants weren’t from earth, there were seeds in the space, and once planted in the resting soil, they would grow.

Xia Chuyi became absorbed in the Medicinal Food, and with the slow flow of time in the space, her spirits were exceptionally good, and she wasn’t the least bit sleepy.

After a long while, she finally tried out the Medicinal Food and was satisfied with her experience, ending the Medicinal Food preparation.

Smiling as she reminisced about the cooking process, it felt like a meditation, giving her many insights into ingredient pairing.

After finishing cooking, she stepped out of the kitchen to gather the Medicinal Food she had left outside – there was simply no room in the kitchen, so she had to place it outside.

As soon as she left the kitchen, the scene in front of her stunned her.

“Giggle giggle quack quack”

Somehow, two or three tiny chickens and ducks were freely pecking at the Medicinal Food at the corner of the wall.

“Awooo awooo” Even more astonishing, a tiny white-furred dog? Fox? Was mingling among them, enjoying the meal tremendously.

These little creatures, upon seeing her, were not frightened. They just paused for a moment and continued eating.

Calming her mind, Xia Chuyi didn’t disturb them but followed the animals’ tracks outward.

Sure enough, soon at a corner of the backyard hedge, she discovered a thorny hole that was almost impossible to notice without careful observation.
