Chapter 641 - 634_1
Master Xue left behind a set of glassware, and Lin Yue immediately dispatched someone to deliver it to Liao Ruyan at the Soap Making Room, which counted as a pleasant surprise for Liao. Since she received a set of semifinished glassware previously, which was much easier to use than the trinkets she had cobbled together before, Liao Ruyan had often asked about them. Lin Yue had promised a better set was on its way, and Liao had been eagerly anticipating it. Unfortunately, the Glass Workshop had not yet produced the glassware, leaving Lin Yue at a loss. The sudden delivery was sure to delight Liao Ruyan.
Just after Lin Yue gave instructions to the young maid, carefully advising her to be gentle and not to jostle the items inside the box to avoid damaging them, Xixi burst in like a whirlwind, almost colliding with the maid and startling both the maid and Lin Yue.
"Xixi, what carelessness is this," scolded Lin Yue, patting her chest, "rushing in like that, almost breaking my stuff. These are precious items, and even if we sold you, you couldn’t afford to pay for it!" Although Master Xue had mentioned that the formula was worked out and more glassware could be produced, it was still something that took considerable effort to create. If it had broken, Lin Yue would have been upset, especially since Liao Ruyan was eagerly waiting for them and hoped for an early delivery.
"Madam, Madam, good news has come!" Xixi ran in with a beaming smile, face filled with joy, unconcerned with Lin Yue’s scolding. Rather, she didn’t seem to have taken Lin Yue’s words to heart at all, excitedly speaking, while holding a bundle in her hand, its contents unknown.
Lin Yue shook her head, feeling that scolding Xixi at this point was useless, so she quickly asked what was so exciting to make Xixi so overjoyed, as she couldn’t think of anything.
"Oh? Today seems to be full of good news; let’s hear what else there is," Lin Yue mused. She thought the glassware from Master Xue was surprise enough, and there wasn’t much else at home that could bring her joy, but Xixi was always prone to making a fuss over little things.
"Madam, guess what?" Now Xixi played coy, refusing to reveal the news and even asked Lin Yue to guess, waving the bundle in front of Lin Yue.
"You audacious girl, are you looking for a scolding," Lin Yue said sternly, pretending to sell me a riddle, stringing me along... Wait, could this be from Zhao Erhu?" Lin Yue was about to give Xixi a slap in annoyance, but upon seeing the bundle in Xixi’s hands, her mind spun, a spark of realization flashed through, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
