My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

steamed stuffed bun!

There was finally light in Lu Xingcheng's eyes.

In the past, at Lu Mansion, people had steamed buns every morning, and they were small steamed buns filled with only beef and green onions.

At that time, Lu Xingcheng only ate beef dumplings from Huaixiang Pavilion, the most famous restaurant at the entrance of Kyoto Alley. During the years when he was Wen Qiqi's son, Die Jiu often bought them and placed them in front of the young master as morning tea.

Thinking about his past life, Lu Xingcheng felt as if it were a lifetime ago.

"Mom, put more meat! I want to eat beef!"

"Okay... Mom will spend some money today and go to town to buy some beef."

Aunt Mei hurried out. She hadn't done any kitchen work for many years and had long forgotten how to make dough for buns. So before going to the town to buy meat, she first went to the yard where her brother, sister-in-law, parents and parents lived, hoping to ask her sister-in-law to help her make some flour.

When her sister-in-law heard that she wanted her to help with the work, she stood at the door with her hands on her hips and sneered, "Mei'er. Do you still think you are the concubine of the Lu family? You are always bossing people around!"

Aunt Mei swallowed her saliva and thought to herself, you gave me two hundred taels of silver, can't I ask you for help to make some noodles now?

But now that I'm living under someone else's roof, I'll have to ask my brother and sister-in-law for help more often in the future, so naturally I won't dare to turn against them easily.

"Sister-in-law, I've been in the Lu Mansion for so many years that I've almost forgotten my cooking skills. I can make some porridge and stir-fry some dishes, but I'm really bad at making dough! Xingcheng is a picky kid, and I'm really worried when I see he can't eat..."

Aunt Mei is a person with very high emotional intelligence. Now that she has been defeated, she will naturally bow to her brother and sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law rolled her eyes at her and leaned against the wooden door: "Ah... As an aunt, I naturally feel sorry for my nephew! But Mei'er, don't think too highly of yourself! We country people say what we want to say. When you went to the Lu Mansion, you were a maid! You did rough labor. My family wouldn't sell a girl to be a maid!"

"In the final analysis, you are not as good as me! You just lived a good life with your money-grubbing man in the capital for a few days. Now that you are back, you have more problems!"

"..."

Aunt Mei's face turned red for a while, then pale for a while!

Her mother felt sorry for her and said to her sister-in-law, "Don't blame her. She asked you for such a small favor, so as a sister-in-law, you should just do it!"

"Come on!"

The sister-in-law patted her belly exaggeratedly: "I want to eat steamed buns today, too. I'll go to your house to get some more flour, and you... go to the town to buy some more meat! Our whole family will eat meat buns!"

Aunt Mei felt a pang of pain in her heart and nodded in agreement.

Now, she needs to live so frugally.

However, if she had not decisively left Old Lady Lu and Lu Shengshi, her life would have been even more miserable than it is now. What awaited her and Xingcheng would have been starving to death along with the mother and daughter of the Lu family!

In the town, the man selling beef was a relative of the Lu family. After seeing Aunt Mei, he told her that the third and fourth branches had gone back to live with Old Madam Lu.

"Mei'er, we are from the same hometown, so I have to tell you something. I'm afraid you don't know yet? The Lu family is very wealthy. They have renovated the old house and built two wing rooms. Why don't you take your son back quickly? If it's too late, I'm afraid all the benefits will be taken by the third and fourth wives!"

Aunt Mei was not willing to believe it. Old Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi had no money when they returned to the old house from Kyoto. They were both people who could not endure hardship. If they had a hundred or eighty taels of silver, they would not eat porridge every day and sleep in worn-out cotton covers...

"really?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, just go back and see it from afar! The mother and daughter have changed since they came back from Kyoto. It's amazing!"

Aunt Mei carried the beef in her hand and went straight to the Lu family's old house.

As expected, the Lu family's old house had been renovated, and two wing rooms had been built. In the yard, the sound of children from the third and fourth rooms playing could be heard...

Aunt Mei was standing far away and was stunned for a moment.

Although the old house was simple and could not be compared with the Lu Mansion in Kyoto, she still had a moment when she seemed to see the prosperous and wealthy scene of the Lu Mansion in Kyoto...

After coming to her senses, Aunt Mei walked into the yard without saying a word, carrying the beef in her hand.

Lu Xingpeng, the son of the third wife, was squatting in the yard. He looked up and saw Aunt Mei first: "It's Second Aunt who's back!"

Aunt Mei is Lu Zhanyao's second wife in the Lu Mansion, so the children from the third and fourth wives call her Second Aunt.

When Lu Xingpeng shouted, the third and fourth wives quickly came out from the west wing...

"Hey, isn't this Aunt Mei? You told us to move out quickly and run away when disaster strikes, but why are you flying back today?"

The third branch of the Lu family has a savage temper, and even now that the Lu family has been defeated, their temper has not changed at all.

Aunt Mei was too lazy to talk to her, and pretended to be calm and said: "Of course I came back to be filial to my mother! No matter what time it is, the Lu family cannot be disbanded, Xingcheng and I are also members of the Lu Mansion!"

After saying that, she quickly walked into the main house carrying the beef.

Old Madam Lu sat upright on a chair, showing the same demeanor she had when she was in the Lu Mansion, and looked at Aunt Mei coldly: "We have already separated, what are you doing back here! Get out!"

Aunt Mei immediately burst into tears: "Mom, please don't say that! I am a member of the Lu family in life and a ghost of the Lu family in death! A few days ago, I just wanted to reduce the burden on you and Sheng Shi, so I thought of escaping separately... Now, now I still can't let go of mother and Sheng Shi. When I bought beef today, the first person I thought of was my dear mother!"

After saying that, Aunt Mei quickly handed the beef to Lu Shengshi: "Shengshi, please stew the beef quickly. Mother likes to eat beef. The beef in this town is very fresh, and it is no worse than the beef in Kyoto!"

"Who wants your broken beef!" Lu Shengshi threw the piece of beef hard in the middle of the room, and scolded Aunt Mei severely. Aunt Mei cried and listened. After a long time, Mrs. Lu felt that it was enough.

"Go and bring Xingcheng back. I'll let you come back for the sake of that child! The east wing is reserved for you and Xingcheng!"

Aunt Mei nodded quickly and was about to leave when Lu Shengshi said, "All the private money of the third and fourth rooms has been handed over to me! If Aunt Mei also wants to come back, she must do as I say!"

"Yes Yes!"

Aunt Mei's heart tightened, and she immediately decided to give Lu Shengshi one hundred taels.

Rather than living in my mother's house and having to face my brother and sister-in-law's face, I would rather go back to Old Lady Lu...

However, she didn't know whether the mother and daughter of the Lu family were really wealthy or had other sources of money, so she had to make other plans for herself and Xingcheng.

I watched Aunt Mei hurried back to pick up Lu Xingcheng.

Old Madam Lu took a long breath and said, "Oh my God, there is always a way out! My eldest grandson will be back soon... With the help of a noble person, our Lu family will eventually make a comeback!"
