25 Chapter 24

As for today with the help of Rous.h.i.+ and the chefs in the manor we made delicious authentic delicacies from the Philippines. Mainly; Chicken adobo, Milky stirred prawns and crabs, Oxtail stew, Raw fish salad, authentic Lechon but not the whole pig, Sour meat stew, Pork Sisig and Beef steak. With Halo-halo as the desert. When everything was ready we called the empress and my mother. Coincidentally my cousins; Qin Jiangli, Qin Jiangfe (third uncle's sons) and Qin Weishen (second uncle's only daughter) came so we invited them too. My dad said it's about time that the sons choose their career and that girl will study in the capital with the n.o.ble ladies.

Since my 15th birthday is fast approaching, it is only right for my cousins to enter the manor. My eldest sister is 29 years old, my second sister is 24 years old, my eldest brother is 18, while my second brother is 16. The twins Qin Jiangli and Jiangfe are turning 14 soon, while Weishen is turning 12. I never had expectations with them, but I hope I won't make out an enemy with them. Even if I have never met them I know somehow their lives became hard and jealousy is inevitable. Second uncle Qin Wulang never had an official wife and the only person he got close with died, because she was captured by the bandits and got killed. Qin Weishen was his only adopted daughter and he brought her up on his own, even if he was likely not around all the time. The twins never had a mother, since third uncle's wife had a heart failure it is likely too risky to give birth to both boys. So she gave up her own life. By then my uncles never got married and focused their time at working and becoming great fathers to their children.

"Madame the fourth young miss is here along with the twin young masters"

"Come, come! Sit… Oh it has been so many years since I last saw the three of you."

I am seated beside Rous.h.i.+ and my mom sat beside the empress. I motioned for them to seat beside me, the shy girl Weishen sat beside me then the boys followed beside her.

"Okay let's dine in" my mom said

I put a great amount of food to the bowls and pa.s.s them to the children beside me. Then I served Rous.h.i.+, my mom and the empress were eating silently so everyone followed behind. But I saw the discomfort of Weishen beside me as she eat.

"Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

She shook her head

"Are you not satisfied with the food?"

She shook her head again, I smiled.

"Call me big sister, you're still young so you need to eat more okay"

Then she nodded in response with a teary eye. Has this child been bullied when she was far away? I doubt my uncle knew what's happening.
