I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

Looking at the food that was brought back, he hardly touched the food.

Cheng Yu thought there was something wrong with the taste of the food he cooked.

She hurried forward and walked over.

But the person who brought the leftovers was Xianglian, the maid who followed Dingxiang.

And there is Pearl.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the taste?" Cheng Yu asked, looking at the food in front of him.

Zhu Er immediately walked up to Cheng Yu and whispered, "I didn't go in, but I heard that my wife had no appetite and only ate a few pot stickers reluctantly without even drinking the soup. She asked them to take it all away."

Cheng Yu immediately became worried, wondering if the food he cooked was not to Zhao Rulan’s liking.

"But are we talking about food?"

Zhu'er: "I didn't hear it, but you should still ask Dingxiang, aren't you on good terms with her?"

Cheng Yu hummed.

I thought that the mistress didn't want to eat because she was in a bad mood, not because there was something wrong with the taste of her food.

Xianglian, who came with Zhu'er to deliver the leftovers, had not left yet. Cheng Yu asked Zhu'er to call her to a place, picked out two small bowls of meat and vegetables, and urged them to finish eating quickly before leaving.

Thinking that these leftovers were because the mistress was in a bad mood, the servants did not dare to steal them. If the mistress had eaten well and there were some leftovers, she would send the servants to eat them. Even if the mistress knew about it, she would not say anything.

But now, it was obvious that the mistress was in a bad mood, and the people below did not need to get into trouble just for a bite of leftovers.

However, when Cheng Yu served them the food, Xianglian saw that Zhu'er did not refuse and started eating, so she also quickly took a few bites.

Especially the pot stickers stuffed with mutton, with juicy meat and crispy skin. It is so delicious after taking a bite.

Zhu'er and Xianglian finished their meal quickly and wiped their mouths before leaving.

Cheng Yu knew that Zhao Rulan's poor appetite was caused by her mood.

This is just the beginning. If she knew that her husband had a mistress and had a child with her, she would be so sad.

The remaining food has not been touched much. The big pot meal has just been finished. The taste of the big pot meal is indeed disappointing. It is just enough to satisfy people.

Cheng Yu ate half a bowl and was not full to begin with.

Now looking at these pot stickers, she ate some. Mother Wang also came over and without waiting for Cheng Yu to say anything, Mother Wang picked up the pot stickers and started eating.

While eating, he said, "The taste is fine. Madam Mistress doesn't eat it. She probably doesn't have much appetite."

Cheng Yu didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart: You have said all the good and bad things, what else can I say?

The mistress has no appetite, but I see that you have quite an appetite.

While they were talking, Mother Wang ate five pot stickers, and Cheng Yu couldn't even see her chewing.

Seeing that Cheng Yu ignored her, Mother Wang took the plate of vegetarian pot stickers away and seemed to be taking it away.

Mother Wang is the type of person who has a family. They live in the courtyard of the servants' quarters that have been allocated to them. It is a large courtyard with several families living in it. She has a husband and children. When her own children get married, they will also have daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

Mother Wang has grandchildren.

Of course, her grandchildren are slaves, and when they grow up, they will also have to work for the master.

But now the children are young, and they have to take care of their own food and drink.

Mother Wang would take some food from the small kitchen and give it to her grandchildren at home.

Cheng Yu just looked at it and pretended not to see it.

Anyway, they were just some leftovers that the mistress didn’t eat. Besides, since Madam Li didn’t say anything, why should a little maid like her meddle in other people’s business?

The mistress ate little for lunch, and without waiting for Dingxiang to say anything, Cheng Yu was thinking about what to cook for her.

Suddenly I thought of something.

Seeing that there were quite a lot of ingredients in the small kitchen, Cheng Yu thought of Malatang. She liked to eat Malatang in modern times and had made it at home. The taste was no worse than that sold outside.

The key to this spicy hot pot is the soup base.

There happened to be some broth hanging on the stove in the kitchen, and knowing that the mistress preferred spicy and sour food recently, Cheng Yu planned to make a tomato one and another spicy one.

Cheng Yu didn't dare to cook too much, so he just picked out some ingredients.

Like three to five slices of beef, three or two slices of vegetables, then some fish balls, beef balls, added some black fungus, bean curd, quail eggs, and a few slices of bacon and cured sausage. The staple food in it, the tomato soup base is hand-rolled noodles, so that you can also drink a few sips of the soup with the noodles.

The spicy soup base is made with rice noodles, which makes it more chewy.

Taozi saw Cheng Yu still busy during his break, so she stepped forward to lend a hand.

"Yu'er, can my wife eat these things you made?" Taozi asked casually.

"Make it first and send it over. My wife is still pregnant. Even if she doesn't want to eat it, the baby in her belly will always have to eat it."

After Cheng Yu was ready, she brought it over at around noon.

It just so happened that Zhao Rulan was feeling very uncomfortable due to pregnancy regurgitation.

The morning sickness wasn't that severe before, but it was very severe this afternoon.

She couldn't sleep at all because of the pregnancy reactions.

Just then Cheng Yu brought the food over.

Ding Xiang let Cheng Yu come in directly. She walked into the house and said to Zhao Rulan, "Madam, Yu'er, who works in the small kitchen, made some food. It tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it?"

Zhao Rulan was about to refuse, but saw Cheng Yu coming up with it.

Smelling the sour and sweet taste, Zhao Rulan suddenly had a better appetite. "What are you cooking?"

Cheng Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lady, I made spicy hot pot today. However, I was worried that you might not be used to the spicy taste, so I made two flavors. The first one I'll serve is the tomato flavor."

"Bring it up here so I can see it..."

Cheng Yu then came forward and brought a bowl of tomato-flavored spicy hot pot to Zhao Rulan.

"There are meat, vegetables, and noodles. This cooking method is really strange."

Cheng Yu: "My dear, please try it. Eat a little bit for the sake of the baby in your belly."

Hearing Cheng Yu talking about the child, Zhao Rulan's face lit up with maternal radiance, "You're right, for the sake of the child, I should eat a little."

Zhao Rulan is not stupid, she just doesn't want to think about whether there is something wrong with her and Lu Zhaowen's relationship.

In fact, with her means and abilities, she could find out everything if she wanted to. However, how many of these men can truly practice monogamy and stay together until old age?

When her mother was still alive, her father was very good to her, but he also had many concubines and aunts, and there were more and more ladies in the family.

She has a child, and thinking about giving birth to the child, the man will always focus on her and the child.

Lu Zhaowen had concubines and aunts in the backyard, but none of them had children.

If the mistress doesn't give birth to a child first, other women in the backyard are not allowed to give birth first.

This was the request Zhao Rulan made before she married into the Lu family, and the Lu family agreed to it.
