Old Jiang was a little hesitant. “Nanny Hu, that…”
Gu Nuo’er quickly interrupted, “Nanny, there’s a bit too much sugar. The customers say that it’s too sweet. Just put less sugar next time. It’s alright!”
Nanny Hu was a little worried. She helplessly rubbed her flour-stained hands onto her apron.
“Is that so? I tasted a little at first and didn’t think it was too sweet. Perhaps young people’s tastes are different now.”
Gu Nuo’er maintained her sweet smile and ran to hug Nanny Hut s arm, wheedling.
“Nanny, Nuo’er usually likes to eat sweet things. That must be why you put too much sugar in it. It’s fine. Just put less next time.”
Only then did Nanny Hu smile. “Alright, I’ll definitely remember that.”
Apart from Gu Nuo’er, who was smiling nonchalantly, everyone else’s expressions were a little heavy.
The child waved her hand. “I’m going to bring these pastries back and share them with my older brothers. Since the shop has already closed, you guys can go back first. I’m going to wait here for Elder Brother Siming to pick me up.” Ning Chudie knew that the princess had lied.
When she came earlier, she had clearly said that Marquis Yongye was busy today and she came here to kill her boredom.
Everyone felt a little worried but Gu Nuo’er took out a silver note generously.
“Elder Sister Chudie, go on. Bring Nanny Hu, Grandpa Jiang, and Auntie Qu to the best inn nearby, open a few rooms, and get some rest. Otherwise, people will say that this little boss has earned money yet can’t bear to let you guys spend it!”
Everyone didn’t move and looked at the little princess with heartache.
The princess must want to handle the matter herself again.
“Go on!” Gu Nuo’er urged again.
Xie Yinxiang didn’t want the child’s intentions to go down the drain, so she suggested, “All of you can go on. Take the chance to relax too. Don’t keep rejecting the princess’s good intentions.”
Only then did Ning Chudie take the banknote and put them into her sleeve.
She forced a smile and walked up. “Thank you, Your Highness. We’ll have a good rest today.”
Nanny Hu was still a little worried. “Why don’t you guys go? I still have a batch of pastries steaming in the kitchen and can’t leave.”
Gu Nuo’er pushed Nanny Hu’s back with her small hands. “Nanny, you’ve been working tirelessly for so long. Just leave it. Leave the pastries to me. After Elder Brother Siming comes later, I can still eat some if I’m hungry.”
Hearing this, Nanny Hu could only nod.
After the group left, Old Master Jiang walked up to the door and looked back, feeling worried.
Gu Nuo’er continued to smile tenderly and waved at him, telling him to go quickly.
Old Jiang sighed quietly and closed the door.
The moment the door closed, the light in the shop became a little dim.
It was as if the syrup had been boiled until it was charred, leaving only a bitter shadow.
Xie Yinxiang saw that Gu Nuo’er’s small face was solemn and her big watery eyes seemed to look red, seething with tears.
She couldn’t help but go up to console her. “Nanny is old, so there may inevitably be problems with her sense of taste. Maybe things will be better if she sees the doctor.”
“That’s not it, Elder Sister Yinxiang. This isn’t what I’m feeling sad about.” As Gu Nuo’er spoke, her childish voice sounded like she was about to cry.
“When I came this morning, there was clearly nothing wrong with the pastries Nanny Hu made for me. Now that I think about it, it was because she took good care of me for three years in the past.
“She remembers my preference very clearly and has never made a mistake on how much sugar and salt to add. It was as if treating me well had been deeply engraved into her flesh and blood. Even though she can’t differentiate between sugar and salt now, she is still able to not make any mistakes when it comes to me.”
Gu Nuo’er looked at a shelf in the shop in a daze. Her soft and fair face was glistening with tears under the light.
“Nanny Hu is old, but yet I’m trying to get her to stay.” At this point, a tear trickled from the child’s big eyes..
