Old man Tao at the side was not worried at all and was very nonchalant. "Yes, maybe you are overthinking it. We all know what kind of person Kong Lian is. Even if the wife he married is not good, she is not too bad! Look, if she came with bad intentions, your mother was not a good person to begin with, so how could she suffer a loss?

And if she was just visiting, think about it, if Kong Lian had a little bit of intelligence, she would definitely know what to do, right?

As it's just a simple visit and interaction, your mother naturally won't do anything to the other person.

Anyway, there are only two possibilities, and the key person in both possibilities is not your mother, but your aunt.

As they were talking, they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation. As soon as they stepped inside, they saw that the tables and chairs had already been set up.

Xue Wenyu took a quick glance and thought it was okay. Although he had many subordinates, none of the secret guards who should not show up in public were there.

However, Xue Wenyu also knew that even if it was inconvenient for them to show up for the dinner, his wife would not let them down and would definitely prepare their portions and have someone send them to them.

The people inside also saw them and rushed forward.

"Just do what needs to be done." Xue Wenyu said to his subordinates in a simple manner.

These guys are so blessed because of him!

After Brother Hui went to the kitchen and greeted his mother, he immediately went back to the room to change out of his dragon robe and ran over to help.

The same thing happened to Xue Wenyu. Old man Tao was lazy because he saw that the girl had so many people helping her.

As soon as he sat down on his tiger-skin-covered chair, Nanzhu came over to pour him tea and brought him some melon seeds and peanuts.

Old man Tao leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, sipped his tea, and watched the people around him busying around. He felt like an old man from a wealthy family with many children and grandchildren. He was enjoying a life of luxury!

However, I suddenly thought that not everyone in this world is as lucky as him.

For example, Luo Yi, he was lucky enough to meet Mu Yingbao, but in the end he lost the opportunity to become the luckiest person in the world.

However, if he had chosen her at the beginning, he would not necessarily be happy now, because choosing her meant giving up on repaying another favor.

Unless he can think of a way to have the best of both worlds. In contrast, the current grandson-in-law Xue Wenyu is much luckier. He not only got a beautiful woman as his wife, but also helped Brother Hui with all his efforts. His luck is because

He was not faced with a choice between the two. If not, the one sitting alone on the battlement of the city wall, drunk in the cold wind, would be Xue Wenyu.

Luo Yi often went there to sit, sometimes for half the night.

Not only did Old Man Tao know about this, but Xue Wenyu also knew about it. However, both of them pretended not to know.

Because, even if it's over, what does it matter? The knot in Luo Yi's heart is a dead knot, and it can't be untied by them just going over and sitting with him.

Old man Tao is a bystander and can see things clearly. The loneliness and desolation of Luo Yi is a constant reminder to his grandson-in-law, making him cherish the people around him even more.

Old man Tao didn't feel that he was selfish, because after all, he and Luo Yi were once friends.

However, he is now the girl's grandfather, a family member, and of course his granddaughter's happiness and mood are the most important. As for other things, Old Man Tao felt that he could not take care of so many things. Because, at his age, he did not have the ability to take care of everyone.

By the stove, Xue Wenyu, who was wearing the same apron as his wife, was quick-eyed and quick-handed and handed chopped green onions and plates to his wife at the right time, and then handed the dishes to his men to take away.

Dongzhu and the others were also busy. They put the cold dishes that Mu Yingbao had prepared in advance on plates and placed them on the table.

A rolling plate, a wine and salt wine pot.

After the stir-fried dishes were quickly finished, Mu Yingbao directed Shi Tou, Lin Chuan and the others to bring out the roasted chicken wings from the oven, put them on plates and garnished them with chopped green onions, and then ordered people to bring one stew pot from the small stove to each table.

In the stew pot is Dongpo pork with bright red color, fat that melts in your mouth, meaty but not dry, sweet but not greasy, and fragrant with wine.

In order to make this dish, Mu Yingbao conducted many studies with the imperial wine master in the palace before brewing a rice wine that is very similar to modern Shaoxing wine.

When this Dongpo pork was cooked for the first time, Xue Wenyu and his friends thought that Dongzhu and the other girls would think it was too fat and would not eat it.

Unexpectedly, they had already fallen for Mu Yingbao's braised pork and had no pressure at all, always finishing the dishes.

"Okay, everything has just been served. Let's eat it while it's hot." As always, no one at those tables would pick up their chopsticks unless Xue Wenyu gave the order.

They were not afraid of their master, but were waiting for the hostess who had worked hard to cook to take a seat.

Xue Wenyu himself was also clear about this.

Given their respect for his daughter-in-law, Xue Wenyu was quite satisfied.

Where in the world can you find such a mistress? Not only is she kind to them on weekdays, she also cooks for them from time to time.

As soon as Xue Wenyu finished speaking, the people at those tables quickly picked up their chopsticks and rushed to the dishes they had already picked out.

There were ten people at the table, and there were exactly ten pieces of Dongpo pork in the stew pot, so one dish was finished with just one use of chopsticks.

However, they will not remove the stew pot with only soup left. It will be delicious to use the soup to pour over rice or dip steamed buns in it.

Just because everyone finishes a dish at once doesn't mean that this is everyone's favorite dish on the table.

However, for this dish, the portion is based on the number of people, so everyone can have one piece.

If you don't eat your piece quickly, you might not get any later. This piece of meat is your share, and anyone who doesn't eat it will feel like a loss.

Good brothers who usually go through life and death together are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other. When food is limited, they would rather starve themselves and give food to their good brothers. But now, they can't bear to part with this piece of meat!

No one rushed to eat the Dongpo pork at Mu Yingbao's table because there were only four of them. Mu Yingbao was the cook herself, so no matter how delicious the dish was, she would not rush to eat it.

Xue Wenyu and the other three could have eaten several pieces each, even without fighting over them. Besides, the table was full of dishes, and no matter how delicious the Dongpo pork was, it was not possible to eat several pieces in a row.

"Mother, that aunt didn't get any advantage today." Brother Hui took a bite of a grilled chicken wing with a sauce flavor, and thought of giving his mother a thumbs up. He had just asked Dongzhu and the others.

Xue Wenyu and Old Man Tao, holding wine and salt, also looked at Mu Yingbao with a smile.

But Mu Yingbao smiled and shook his head; "That's nothing. It's not that I'm great. I can only say that she is a scumbag."

Mu Yingbao was not being modest, he was telling the truth. He himself was not a scheming person, and if he really got to know someone that powerful, he would probably not be the opponent.

"My uncle's taste in choosing a wife is really poor. It's a world away from my father's." Brother Hui said casually.

The grilled chicken wings, he remembered giving his mother a thumbs up, he had just asked Dongzhu and the others.

Xue Wenyu and Old Man Tao, holding wine and salt, also looked at Mu Yingbao with a smile.

But Mu Yingbao smiled and shook his head; "That's nothing. It's not that I'm great. I can only say that she is a scumbag."

Mu Yingbao was not being modest, he was telling the truth. He himself was not a scheming person, and if he really got to know someone that powerful, he would probably not be the opponent.

"My uncle's taste in choosing a wife is really poor. It's a world away from my father's." Brother Hui said casually.

This flattery made the father feel comfortable all over.

"By the way, how is my brother doing?" Mu Yingbao looked around with a smug look on his face.
