The servants quickly cleared the food off the table. Looking at the removed dishes, Lü Yun recalled the first time she cooked for him. Since she had never been in the kitchen before, she was really flustered that time.
While stir - frying, she accidentally burned her hand with hot oil. At that time, she didn't dare to let him see it, so she asked someone else to deliver the food for her. As a result, the person who delivered the food came back and told her that the food had been dumped and that he said it tasted terrible.
Since then, she had been secretly learning how to cook. Her hands had been cut countless times and burned by the boiling oil in the pan many times.
When Mu Nan walked in with the pigeon soup, seeing that all the food on the table was gone, he frowned.
"Why did you clear all the food away? Is it not to your taste?" Mu Nan put the freshly made pigeon soup on the table, scooped up a bowl for Lü Yun and placed it in front of her.
"Try it and see if it's good."
"Take it away. I don't want to drink it. Also, please leave. It's time for me to eat."
"Yun'er, I..."
"I've said I don't want to eat. You'd better take it away."
"Why? Yun'er, I've been cooking this for a whole morning. You should at least take a bite. It must taste good." Mu Nan looked at Lü Yun full of expectation.
Lü Yun looked at Mu Nan and asked, "Is this your first time cooking?"
"No." He had learned how to cook when he was in the military camp, and he was quite good at it.
"But back then, it was my first time cooking for someone."
"During that cooking, I accidentally burned my hand with hot oil. The injury was quite serious. But I didn't want you to know, so I asked someone else to deliver it for me. But what was the result? The person who delivered the food came back and told me that you dumped all the food and said it tasted terrible."
"Yes, I admit that my first attempt at cooking was really bad. But you didn't have to insult me like that, did you? Was it really that unpalatable?"
"No, Yun'er. Please listen to my explanation. I..." Mu Nan was anxious to explain, but Lü Yun didn't give him a chance and interrupted him directly.
"Do you know? After I finished cooking, I even asked my father to taste it. My father said it was edible and he ate two whole bowls. But what about you? You took just two bites and dumped it!"
"I... I'm sorry." All the explanations could only turn into a pale and powerless apology.
At this time, the new dishes had been served. Lü Yun picked up her chopsticks and began to eat slowly.
"Speaking of which, I've given you many of my firsts in life, but you didn't cherish them well."
"Mu Nan, loving you is really tiring." Lü Yun closed her eyes for a moment, hiding the glint in them.
"Yun'er, no matter what, I won't give up. I've done wrong in the past, and I'll correct myself in the future. I don't ask you to forgive me, but just give me a chance, a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Lü Yun glanced at Mu Nan. "Forget it. Do as you please."
"Yun'er! Thank you! Don't worry. I won't let you down."
Mu Nan put down what was in his hands and excitedly ran out. He had to think carefully about how to win back Yun'er's heart.
He couldn't let Yun'er run away with that A Zhuang. Otherwise, he might really be alone for the rest of his life.
"Thank you, the leader of the stockade, for your help."
"It's my pleasure. Please take good care of Feng'er, Miss Mu." After saying that, he gave Mu Nan a special look.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Mu Fengqie smiled and agreed. "Don't worry, the leader of the stockade. I will definitely take good care of Feng'er and will never let some people succeed easily."
"Then I can rest assured."
"Feng'er, you must be careful when you're outside. If there's danger, just push that Mu guy out. Anyway, he still owes our stockade a life."
"Daddy~" Lü Yun's face darkened. The person in question was still here, and you dared to say such things. If he wasn't here, would you have even sent someone to assassinate him?
Mu Nan twitched the corner of his mouth after hearing this. It seemed that his future father - in - law was very dissatisfied with him. It seemed that his path of chasing his wife was destined to be rough.
Alas~ What a sin!
"Leader of the stockade, we're leaving." Mu Fengqie checked the time. It was getting late, so she suggested they set off.
"Okay. Be careful on the way."
"Farewell."
The leader of the stockade watched their carriage gradually disappear into the distance and sighed.
"Sister Qie, where are we going?"
"To the Southern Qing Kingdom. I'd like you to help us find out whose child the Southern Qing Empress is carrying."
"Hmm? Why so?" What did the child in the Southern Qing Empress's belly have to do with Sister Qie?
"Sister suspects that the child in the Southern Qing Empress's belly belongs to Jing Xunchè." A Ru got extremely angry just thinking about this.
It was so abominable. This man not only put her sister in danger but might also have found another woman outside!
If that child really belonged to Jing Xunchè, she would never let her sister be with him! Moreover, she would tell the emperor and the empress!
"This..." Lü Yun didn't expect such a thing and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Jing Xunchè seemed quite nice when he was in the stockade. How could such a thing happen? It was unbelievable.
"It's okay. It's just a suspicion for now. We haven't confirmed it yet."
"Sister, you said it's a suspicion. There's no smoke without fire. If he really didn't do it, how could such a thing happen!"
The people riding horses outside could hear the conversation inside the carriage. For a moment, Jing Xunchè felt rather helpless.
He really hadn't done anything to let her down. But now, even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly. He could only wait until they reached the Southern Qing Kingdom and wait for three months until the Southern Qing Empress's pregnancy was far enough along to be tested.
Mu Nan looked at Jing Xunchè sympathetically. It seemed that the master was also having a hard time. Alas~ They were really worthy of being master and servant. It was so difficult.
Hong Yi frowned after hearing the conversation inside. What a jealous woman! It was quite normal for a man to have concubines, not to mention the master. His status was far above ordinary people!
Hong Yi didn't show his thoughts. It wasn't the time to drive this woman away yet.
"Don't worry, Sister Qie. I will definitely help you. If Jing Xunchè really slept with that Southern Qing Empress, you should just dump him and find another one."
"Why would you want a dirty man? If I were you, if something like this happened to my man, I wouldn't even bother to investigate. I'd just dump him directly."
"If it weren't for his own problems, how could such a thing happen? In fact, it's all the man's fault. He can't control his lower body."
Since Lü Yun got along with Mu Fengqie, she had learned Mu Fengqie's 21st - century thoughts thoroughly. Sometimes, her thoughts were even more advanced than Mu Fengqie's.
Mu Fengqie felt quite sorry for the leader of the stockade and his wife at that time. What had she done to that nice girl?
