Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1373 - 199, Tao Hua Matchmaker_3

"Don’t think just because you’re quick, others can’t see you. I saw you poisoning him that day."

Upon hearing Lin Yuan blatantly expose her tricks, Xiao Linshuang cried out in surprise, "What? You saw? I practiced for two months! Oh no, it seems it’s still not fast enough, I need to practice more!"

Her movements that day had actually been very fast, at least Han Huijuan, who was with Lin Yuan, didn’t notice Xiao Linshuang’s mischief. But Lin Yuan knew her sister too well and knew she wouldn’t let others take advantage, which is why she paid extra attention. Otherwise, she surely wouldn’t have noticed Xiao Linshuang’s movements.

However, since someone had seen it, it only meant that Xiao Linshuang’s skills weren’t perfect yet. Today it was her older sister who noticed without making a fuss, but what if Xiao Linshuang faced a brilliant martial artist one day?

"You do need to practice more, even a commoner like me could spot your trick, what about others? Next time, try it in front of Lin Yi, if he doesn’t see it then you’ve really mastered it."

Lin Yi?

That really stumped Xiao Linshuang, that foolishly tall guy with incredible martial arts skills—she would possibly need to practice ten or eight years to handle him!

Knowing her sister was deliberately using this as a teaching moment, Xiao Linshuang pouted and defended herself, "Big sister, didn’t you also say that Han Chaosheng was no good? I was just teaching him a lesson, not taking his life. Why do you still have to speak for him?"

Lin Yuan set Xiao Yongyan down on a nearby stool, letting him sit on his own, then waved Xiao Linshuang over. As the young girl approached, Lin Yuan affectionately stroked her hair and spoke softly, "Big sister isn’t speaking for him, big sister is worried about you. You’re still young, and if you get yourself involved because of such a scoundrel, it would be a loss not worth taking."

Fortunately, Han Chaosheng clearly never expected that the least likely person would be the one to poison him.

Xiao Linshuang patted her chest proudly, "Big sister, you just relax, I am the master’s beloved disciple, what is there to worry about? It’s those villains who should be worried! If they dare to misbehave in front of me again, not just cutting fingers, next time I’ll make them lose their hands, feet, or even their heads!"

Lin Yuan shook her head speechlessly, sweating for those villains—it’s probably best if they don’t provoke this little witch.

Just then, Xiao Yongyan, who was seated nearby, suddenly all childlike and sulky, hummed and pointed at Xiao Linshuang, shaking his head like a little adult and saying, "Big sister, bad!"

Ouch!

Xiao Linshuang cried out, stepped forward, and pinched his soft, doughy ear, "You little rascal, who are you calling bad? Daring to say your sister is bad, I think you’re the worst, siding with the bad guys!"

Despite Xiao Yongyan’s young age, he was particularly stubborn, and even though Xiao Linshuang had pinched his ear red, he didn’t plead with her at all.

The little guy turned his head, tearfully looking toward Lin Yuan and complaining, "Big sister, Miss sister, bullying me, big sister, stop her!"

Pfft!

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, alright, her little brother really had a backbone, always seeking her help whenever Xiao Linshuang bullied him.

"You little thing! Don’t think about asking big sister for help! You’re a man, are you going to run back crying and ask big sister to fight your battles in the future? That’s really pathetic!"

Xiao Linshuang rolled her eyes in disgust and finally let go of his ear. But as she released him, she couldn’t resist pinching his earlobe, soft and squishy like a pearl dumpling.

Xiao Yongyan covered his pinched red earlobe and hummed twice before opening his small hands and reaching out to Lin Yuan for a hug.

Lin Yuan smiled and went over to lift the little fellow into her arms, gently massaging his ear with her fingertips. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Contentedly, Xiao Yongyan turned back and made a face at Xiao Linshuang, showing his teeth as he said, "Bad guy, catch, no hitting."

Lin Yuan’s massage paused. Was this little fellow suggesting they should catch the bad guys instead of hitting them himself?

My goodness, her Xiao Yongyan, not even two weeks of age, already knew about implementing laws? How impressive indeed!

Lin Yuan joyfully hugged Xiao Yongyan, showering him with kisses and cooing, as if he had already topped the imperial exams and become an upright and impartial high official.

Lin Shuang sniffed disdainfully, shuddered off the goosebumps, and quickly walked away.

At the Chen Mansion, Chen Ruochu instructed servants to deliver the goods she had purchased to Dong Tian. Just as she was heading back to her room, she saw one of Lady Jiang’s attendants warmly guiding an old woman into Lady Jiang’s courtyard.

Given that the foundation of the Chen family was in Jiangnan, they had made a few friends after coming to the Capital city. However, because of a recent rumor, they had lost contact with them. It had been several days since visitors had come by, prompting Chen Ruochu to take a closer look.

And the more he looked, the more puzzled he became.

The visiting old woman seemed to be in her forties, yet she wore a bright red dress embroidered with large peonies. Not only that, but a ridiculously large red flower also adorned her head.

Chen Ruochu felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that Lady Jiang wanted to enjoy the sight of flowers without leaving her home, and thus invited this giant "flower" in? Yet, this flower was rather ugly. Look at that large black mole by her mouth—it was downright revolting!

Wait a second, a black mole? Red clothes and a flower? And that chubby physique?

Wasn’t this the standard garb of a matchmaker?

Why had Lady Jiang invited a matchmaker over?

He didn’t believe that Lady Jiang had kindly intentions of arranging a marriage for him, but after pondering, the only conclusion was his eldest sister. It seemed Lady Jiang had taken a liking to some noble’s son in the Capital city and was thinking of matchmaking for her own daughter!

Chen Ruochu shook his head disinterestedly and slowly strolled back towards his own courtyard. Had Chen Ruochu taken a longer look at the matchmaker, he might have noticed her shrewd and greedy eyes scanning around, but regrettably, he held no interest in Chen Leyao’s marital affairs.

Inside Lady Jiang’s courtyard, however, it was quite lively. Lady Jiang had put out the most delicious pastries bought from Drunken Immortal Tower on the table, warmly inviting the matchmaker to help herself.

"Oh my, Madam, you are too kind. It’s making this old woman quite embarrassed!"

Lady Jiang’s mouth twitched slightly. Embarrassed, yet eating so vigorously!
