Lian Hua glanced at him, clasping her hands under her chin. Clearing her throat, she awkwardly said, "Oh dear, I wonder how Xiao Qing and Xiao Linzi are doing. There are so many snacks and drinks to be made, what if they make a mistake? I should go have a look."
Xiao Jizi quickly took a few steps and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, with an eager smile, "My Lady, the kitchen is cramped and crowded. I'm afraid it would be difficult to move around once you're inside. Let me go in for you."
Saying that, he dashed off to the kitchen without waiting for Lian Hua's response, as if he feared she wouldn't let him go.
Lian Hua puffed her cheeks, glaring at Xiao Jizi's retreating figure. That sly and cheeky eunuch! Hmph, she just wanted to take a look inside. After all, these snacks and pastries are for the festival, so why couldn't she take a peek? It's not like she'd interfere.
But alas, Nanny Qi had previously insisted that she wasn't allowed near the kitchen stoves. Sigh.
