After returning to the Shen Mansion, everyone gathered together for a meal. During the meal, Sun Manman still did not come. Shen Yun asked the kitchen to send some food, but according to the maid's report, Sun Manman did not eat much.

Shen Yun was worried and wanted to go check it out, but was reminded that he had to visit his mentor today, so he had to rush out to buy gifts.

Shen Hao and Shen An had business matters to attend to, so they left immediately after dinner. Zhou and Yu were not familiar with Cheng Jinchu after all, so they could not chat with him for a few minutes, so they also left, saying that they had something else to do.

Cheng Jinchu went to the big kitchen. It was just past dinner time and there was only a maid cleaning the kitchen.

The busy old woman was stunned when she saw Cheng Jinchu. She didn't know who she was and felt that she was the master. However, she was alone without a maid to serve her, so she was very confused about whether to show respect or not.

She was just about to ask when a decently dressed woman came in from outside the kitchen.

As soon as she came in, the old woman who was about to ask a question spoke respectfully to the old woman.

"Mother Qin, this person came in suddenly, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Mother Qin interrupted her.

"Shut up, this is Miss Five."

Mother Qin saw Cheng Jinchu as soon as she entered the kitchen. Although she had never seen her before, after all, Cheng Jinchu had not been in the mansion for a long time and had no presence, so many servants had never seen her.

But she was the kitchen manager and was better at judging people than others. She had heard of Cheng Jinchu a long time ago and could guess who she was just by looking at her stunning beauty.

After hearing what Mother Qin said, the old woman quickly knelt down.

"It's my fault, Fifth Miss. I didn't recognize the real master!"

Cheng Jinchu waved his hand casually.

"It's okay, get up. I just heard about mother's loss of appetite when I returned home. I've always been good at cooking, so I thought of making something for mother to try and see if it can stimulate her appetite!"

After hearing what Cheng Jinchu said, the old woman quickly stood up, bent her body, and walked behind Cheng Jinchu.

"What do you want to do Miss Fifth? I'll help you wash the vegetables."

Cheng Jinchu looked around the kitchen.

"Just help me wash some vegetables! Someone else can help me boil some water and blanch some vermicelli."

After that, the other people in the kitchen started to get busy, boiling water, blanching noodles and cooking vegetables, while Cheng Jinchu prepared the seasoning on the side.

She asked Orange to pick some peppers for her, chopped them up and put them in a bowl, added some other seasonings, and waited for the two men to blanch the noodles and cook the vegetables before putting them in the bowl.

A bowl of spicy and sour noodles was ready. Cheng Jinchu looked at the noodles and nodded with satisfaction. He put the noodles into the lunch box and went to Sun Manman's yard.

At this time, Sun Manman was lying on the bed. She had been feeling a little uncomfortable recently, but it was not because of her pregnancy, but because the person who knew her secret was not dead.

She hoped that Mo Ling would die. When she brought Mo Ling back, in addition to the evidence that Mo Ling said, she was also threatened. She hated being threatened the most, so she was also considering what to do.

This was the truth behind her discomfort today. Today, this discomfort reached its peak because she sent people out to listen to the trial process. Her people came back earlier than Shen Yun and the others, so she knew that the evidence in the hands of the person who called herself Shen Taohua was false, but she did not die with those people.

Originally, seeing how confident she looked, she didn't put any hope on the case. She just wanted to know the whole process of the matter out of curiosity, but unexpectedly, she found out that the "Shen Taohua" was fake.

What surprised her the most was that Cheng Jinchu actually expressed his forgiveness in court. Sun Manman was so angry that she wanted to die. What kind of person is that? He actually forgave her. She wanted to kill him. She cursed him countless times in her heart.

This is also the reason why Sun Manman did not show up today. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but curse!

She felt that Shen Jinyi, this saintly woman, was really going to piss her off to death. She had originally thought about whether she should be nicer to her this time. After all, she looked exactly like that person, and she still felt guilty about him. Now, she wished she could kill Shen Jinyi.

If Cheng Jinchu knew what Sun Manman was thinking, she might have added insult to injury and told her how she brought the fake girl back to be her maid.

Although Cheng Jinchu didn't know it at the moment, it didn't matter. Mo Ling had already entered the mansion, so she had plenty of time to hang around in front of Sun Manman.

Sun Manman was so angry that she couldn't sleep. She turned her head to look at the door. Her maid ran in and stood at the door. Before she could open her mouth, she was pushed open by someone who came in behind. The maid was not paying attention and lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

"Mom, I'm here to see you. I heard that you have lost your appetite recently."

Cheng Jinchu picked up the food box and showed it to Sun Manman.

"Someone come and help mother up..."

When Cheng Jinchu said this, he seemed to have just noticed the little maid who had fallen to the ground.

"Ah~! What's going on? Why are you lying on the ground? It's so cold. Hurry up and help me lift your mother up!"

Sun Manman looked at Cheng Jinchu, tried her best to force a smile, and stretched out her hand from under the quilt.

"Xiaoju, come and help me get dressed!"

There are four maids around Sun Manman, namely Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju.

Xiaoju glared at Cheng Jinchu with resentment, then quickly got up and helped Sun Manman to put on her clothes. Cheng Jinchu was not in a hurry either. He put the lunch box on the table without opening it, and just sat there waiting for Sun Manman to come.

Sun Manman came over after she had packed up. Looking at Cheng Jinchu who was sitting, she was a little dazed. She thought Cheng Jinchu must be standing and waiting for her.

It's no wonder she thinks this way. Cheng Jinchu has not been in the Shen Mansion for long, and the impression she gives people is indeed the same. Those people think that she looks delicate and must be a delicate and weak little girl.

In addition, Cheng Jinchu was very polite when they met for the first time, so not only Sun Manman, but everyone else would think that Cheng Jinchu would stand there respectfully while waiting.

"Mother?"

Cheng Jinchu called Sun Manman softly. Sun Manman was a little dazed when she came to her senses. No matter what time it was, she would still be afraid when she looked at Cheng Jinchu's face. She subconsciously wanted to step back. Fortunately, Xiaoju supported her.

Cheng Jinchu found Sun Manman's expression somewhat amusing. She stood up, walked over to support Sun Manman, took her to the table and sat down, then gently opened the food box, and a fragrance wafted out.

When she smelled the fragrance, Sun Manman's face changed and turned pale, and she smiled stiffly.

"Jinyi, what delicious food did you make? It smells so appetizing!"

Cheng Jinchu brought out the hot and sour noodles and placed them in front of Sun Manman, then took out a pair of chopsticks from the food box and put them into Sun Manman's hand.

"I heard that you've lost your appetite lately, and you're pregnant, so I thought of making something sour for you to try."

"Oh, I see! That's thoughtful."

Sun Manman didn't look up at Cheng Jinchu. Her hands holding the chopsticks were slightly sweaty.

"Try it! See if it tastes good."

Cheng Jinchu sat next to Sun Manman and said with a smile.

Sun Manman took the chopsticks stiffly and took a bite, then turned around and looked at Cheng Jinchu with a smile.

“It’s delicious, thank you!”

Cheng Jinchu supported his chin with his hand, with a smile not reaching his eyes, staring at Sun Manman. Sun Manman looked at Cheng Jinchu, and for a moment she actually wanted to stand up and run away.

However, she seemed to be frozen, just watching Cheng Jinchu's red lips slightly open.

"I don't know if it still tastes the same as you like after not doing it for a long time."
