After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

"Grandma." Gu Jin put down his chopsticks and spoke slowly.

"In fact, my mother has been worried about the kitchen recently. The daughter-in-law of Mrs. Li, who used to be the chef, is about to give birth. I heard that she seems to have had a miscarriage and she has to go back to take care of her.

Mrs. Li is an elder in the mansion, and it would be unkind of us to refuse her.”

Xie Miaorong pursed her lips coldly and said sarcastically, "There are always special times in every mansion. There are so many servants in the mansion that it is hard to guarantee that someone will have problems or feel unwell. The key lies in how the mistress of the house mediates.

At least that's what happened when my mother was the housekeeper."

Even if Gu Jin said that, it only means that Su's own housekeeper is not good enough, and grandmother should take the opportunity to remove Su's housekeeper's power.

"Sister Miaorong, don't be anxious." Gu Jin curved his lips into a smile and winked at Ruyi.

Ruyi understood, and soon she entered Songhe Hall with a few maids carrying food boxes.

Mrs. Huo looked at the food box in the maid's hand and asked blankly, "Jin'er, this is..."

"After Mrs. Li went on vacation, the kitchen was temporarily managed by Zhu Er's daughter-in-law, who used to help. My mother also found that the food in the kitchen was not satisfactory recently. Although she gave many instructions, Zhu Er's daughter-in-law's cooking skills could not improve.

My mother was worried that my grandmother wouldn’t use it properly, so she asked me to prepare some wine and food.”

The maid placed the hot wine and dishes on the table one by one.

"Mother, this is the food from Jin'er Restaurant. I tried it once and it was very delicious." Su stood up and picked up a piece of braised beef fillet with green onions for Huo.

Mrs. Huo had not eaten beef for a long time because of her bad teeth, but this beef tenderloin was soft, tender and delicious and was easy to eat.

"It's amazing that beef can be cooked so tender and tasty." Mrs. Huo liked it very much and took another piece with her chopsticks.

The dishes on the table were novel and unique. Mr. Xie San quickly picked up his chopsticks and tasted each one. His eyes lit up as if he had seen a beauty. "I have lived half my life and have never eaten such delicious food. It's wonderful!"

Mrs. Bai raised her eyes and glared at him, but Mr. Xie acted as if he didn't see anything and just continued eating.

Marquis Yongchang took a piece of boiled fish with chopsticks with a skeptical attitude. It tasted spicy and fresh without any fishy smell. It could be said that this was the best fish he had ever eaten.

He looked at Gu Jin, who was smiling with curved eyebrows, with complicated eyes. Old Gu's daughter was full of clever ideas and was really nothing like him.

Xie Liu, the youngest son of the third wife, also had his mouth full of oil, and he kept hissing because of the spicy boiled pork slices, "Third sister-in-law, this meat is really delicious, but it hurts my tongue because of the spiciness."

"Will you not eat if it hurts?" Bai said gritting her teeth.

Gu Jin smiled gently, reached out and served Xie Liu a bowl of pumpkin soup, "Try this."

Xie Liu took it and took a big sip. The pumpkin soup was sweet and smooth. The key point was that after drinking it, it really didn’t taste spicy anymore. “After drinking it, I feel like I can eat another bowl of rice!”

Bai felt it was too much to bear, and was secretly annoyed at why her husband and son were so disappointing. "Have you never had a full meal? Look at how useless you are!"

Xie Liu was at an age of rebellion and willfulness, so he was not willing to listen to Bai's nagging, "Only if you eat more can you grow taller and be as majestic as your third brother. How can you be a loser!"

Xie Liu's words made Xie Qing's face grim. He was obviously the eldest brother, but Xie Liu actually took the treacherous villain Xie Ran as his role model.

Gu Jin admired Xie Liu's vision. If Xie Ran heard this, he would probably be pleased.

"You are young and have a weak stomach. If you eat too much spicy food, you will have a stomachache. Then you won't be able to eat tomorrow.

I will prepare other delicious meals tomorrow, don’t you want to try them?”

“Is there anything more delicious than this?”

"of course."

Xie Liu's eyes sparkled. He had never looked at his mother with such admiration before. "Then I'll listen to my third sister-in-law!"

Bai just felt even more depressed. Neither the father nor the son was a good person!

Xie Qing looked at Gu Jin with gentle eyes as she spoke to Xie Liu patiently and gently. She didn't expect that she was so good at coaxing a child. She would definitely be a qualified mother in the future.

Gu Rou glanced at Xie Qing and poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks.

Adulterer and adulterer!

"Grandmother, since Mrs. Li can't come back for the time being, and the daughter-in-law of Zhu Er's family can't run a big kitchen, why don't I let my restaurant supply the meals for the mansion these days, so that you can try the new dishes I have developed."

Mrs. Huo was very satisfied with the taste of the food. After thinking for a while, she nodded and agreed, "Since there is no one in the kitchen who can cook now, there is no need to buy anything. The restaurant's meals are paid for by the family. We can't let the whole family eat for free."

Xie Miaorong didn't expect that this move not only did not embarrass Su, but also gave Gu Jin an advantage. She was so angry that she immediately lost her appetite.

Xie Miaorong tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. When she woke up the next day, she quickly got up and put on her makeup.

Since this plan failed, she could only use her trump card.

Following her instructions, Manager Zhang specially transferred away the maids and servants in charge of the garden. Now the garden has been unattended for many days. If the master of the mansion is tripped by the vines, Su will definitely be blamed.

However, if an ordinary person fell, it would probably not cause any trouble. If you want to make a big fuss, there is only one way...

Xie Miaorong went to Songhe Hall early and sincerely apologized to Mrs. Huo, "Grandma, Miaorong has reflected on it carefully after returning home. You are right. It was Miaorong who was ignorant before.

Over the years, I have received a lot of kindness from my aunt, but instead of being grateful, I took it for granted. In the future, Miaorong must be careful with her words and actions and respect her. "

Xie Miaorong was the first girl in the mansion, and Mrs. Huo loved her sincerely and had high hopes for her.

Seeing that the expression on her face did not seem fake, Mrs. Huo patted her hands with great satisfaction and said, "It's good that you can figure it out. If you can correct your mistakes, you will still be a good child in the future.

We are all of the same blood, and only when the family is harmonious can everything go smoothly. Ran'er and Jin'er are both good children, and you should get along well with each other in the future."

Mrs. Huo could see that Xie Ran and Gu Jin were the most capable among the younger generation. In the future, the Yongchang Marquisate might have to rely on them. She hoped to see the whole mansion working together.

Xie Miaorong was full of disdain in her heart, but she showed a gentle smile on her face and nodded, "Miaorong will follow grandma's teachings."

She chatted with Mrs. Huo for a while, and suddenly said, "Grandma, I think the weather outside is nice today, Miaorong will go out for a walk with you."

Mrs. Huo didn't want to move. As she got older, she didn't like to go out.

But she couldn't resist Xie Miaorong's persuasion. In addition, Mrs. Huo had a good appetite yesterday and ate more than usual. Mrs. Huo thought it would be a good idea to go out for a walk, which would help digestion and improve her appetite in the evening.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk today."

Xie Miaorong was delighted and quickly helped Mrs. Huo up.

Looking at Mrs. Huo's graying hair, Xie Miaorong felt a sense of guilt.

But only if the grandmother falls will the whole house be alarmed and Su will be punished.

Although this was a bit unfair to her grandmother, she was also considering the long-term future of the Marquisate.

How can such a great marquisate be controlled by a merchant girl? My grandmother will understand her good intentions in the future.
