Chapter 132 Random Thoughts
"Lin Zi, wait a moment," Mother Ju called out to Luh Xingze, holding a package in her hands.
"Auntie Ju, they provide meals over there," Luh Xingze said, declining the offer.
"Take it, meals don’t ensure fullness, and besides, this is your favorite food," Mother Ju insisted as she stuffed the package into Luh Xingze’s arms.
"Oh, Auntie Ju, it’s not like I won’t come back. Can’t I eat it when I return?" Taking it home would be inconvenient since he was staying in a dormitory, and besides, he had to go to Youchun Workshop tomorrow. Wouldn’t it leave a bad impression?
He remembered that the master of Youchun Workshop was Prince Duan, the Holy Emperor’s own younger brother. It was a prince he couldn’t even dream of meeting.
"Take it, take it. It’s your favorite crisp bread that we always have at home. I made it with less oil so you could eat it for a couple of days," Mother Ju persisted, pushing the package into Luh Xingze’s hands.
"Then, thank you very much, Auntie Ju." Luh Xingze truly missed his mother’s home-cooked crisp bread. He accepted it, ready to leave, when suddenly Mother Ju grabbed him.
"Ah, Lin Zi, I need to ask you something." Mother Ju glanced inside the house, and seeing that Nanyi had gone inside, she lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard.
"Auntie, what is it? Can’t it be said in front of Brother Nanyi? Is it about Brother Nanyi?"
"I’m asking about the errand I entrusted to your mother," Mother Ju said, glancing behind her again before eagerly looking at Luh Xingze. She had sent a message back home some days ago but had not received any reply yet, making her somewhat uneasy.
"Which errand? Oh, you mean the third daughter of the Cheng Family? Ah, my mother inquired but they haven’t discussed her marriage yet. Auntie, are you thinking of..." Luh Xingze’s words were cut off by Mother Ju, who, again nervously checked that Nanyi had not come out.
