She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

As it turned out, Guan He wasn’t so graceless as to squat on the Qi family’s rooftop eating cheese; instead, dressed in a simple cotton robe and without a hat, he sat grandly on a large chair set out in the Qi Family Courtyard, yelling orders at a group of youngsters as they roasted wild rabbit and pheasant.

"No, you’re Liu Er, right? You need to hold the prey higher, that’s the way to cook it evenly inside and out. Ah, that’s right, you’re a smart kid."

"And you, Sanshun, what are you doing? You should wait for the smoke to clear before you start roasting; otherwise, how can anyone stomach that smoked taste? Didn’t you just roast sparrows the other day? How could you forget so soon?"

"Come here, come here, yes, you, that half-roast of yours is almost done. Bring it here, let Uncle tell you how Uncle was just eating it."

Guan He glanced at the half-roasted chicken the youngster handed over and shamelessly said to Zi Ning, "Little girl, can’t you be a bit sharper? Bring all sorts of seasonings from your kitchen here; we need them."

Zi Ning looked towards Ye Xinyan.

Wrapped in a large cotton cloak, Ye Xinyan sat not far from them under the eaves, watching impassively as the thief who had entered her workshop to steal the night before now sat domineeringly in her courtyard, barking orders. Yet, she couldn’t help but be astonished, could Jiang Yifan really have such an elder martial brother? His master was truly magnanimous, to accept disciples of such differing standards.

Seeing Zi Ning looking at Ye Xinyan and getting no response from Ye Xinyan for a long while, Guan He also turned his gaze toward Ye Xinyan.
