Marry the crippled king and seize the kingdom with space!

"Yes, yes, yes. As long as it's cooked by my pretty sister, it's delicious. Does that mean it's not delicious if it's cooked by my mother?"

Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat: [Huh? Is my mother angry? ]

He asked cautiously, "Mom, are you angry?"

Brother Zhang smiled and explained: "Your mother is not angry, she is jealous."

Ogawa tilted his head, his face full of confusion.

"Dad, what is vinegar? Is it the vinegar that mom usually uses when cooking?"

He turned around and pouted at Mrs. Zhang.

"Mom, I have tasted that vinegar secretly before, it is not tasty at all."

Mrs. Zhang pretended to be angry and poked Xiaochuan on the forehead.

"You little devil, you've even been jealous before."

Ogawa lowered his head and muttered softly.

"Ah, Xiaochuan, I won't dare to do that next time. I won't eat it secretly anymore. That thing is not good at all."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and teased him intentionally.

"Why, if it tastes good, you'll continue to eat it secretly?"

Ogawa shook his head quickly and explained hastily.

"No, no, I won't steal food again."

Looking at Xiaochuan's serious expression, Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but smile at each other, their hearts filled with warmth.

------------

On the other side, Ye Zirou called Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing!"

Xiaoqing heard Ye Zirou calling her and hurried to the kitchen.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Take this fish to those yamen runners." Ye Zirou smiled and pointed to a plate of fragrant braised fish on the table.

"Miss, why do you always send them a portion every time you make food?" Xiaoqing asked in confusion.

"Because Miss, I want to stay in Changping County for two more days, so of course I have to make some delicious food and ask them to be accommodating. Besides, they have been very nice to us along the way."

Ye Zirou smiled gently, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Xiaoqing nodded, and although she was still a little reluctant, she still agreed.

"Ok."

"Well, go quickly and come back soon." Ye Zirou reminded.

Xiaoqing held the fish in both hands and walked towards the yamen runners' room with some trepidation in her heart.

She was actually not very willing to go to that place, after all, there were only men there.

Even though she knew nothing would happen, it still felt a little inappropriate.

Ye Zirou obviously didn't consider the issues of sex. If she had thought about it, she might not have let Xiaoqing go.

Just then, Long Yi happened to meet Xiaoqing who was holding a plate in the corridor, and a hint of concern flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Xiaoqing, where are you going?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

"The young lady asked me to bring some food to the yamen runners." Xiaoqing said a little embarrassedly, her voice a little low.

Long Yi seemed to see her concerns, so he took the initiative to suggest.

"Miss Xiaoqing, if you don't mind, why don't you let me go with you?"

When Xiaoqing heard this, the gloom on her face instantly disappeared.

"Is it really okay? Would this be too much trouble for you?" She looked at Long Yi in surprise, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"No, let's go." Long Yi smiled gently.

Then, the two of them walked towards the door of the yamen runners' room together.

Xiaoqing knocked on the door gently. It was Wu Yong who opened the door. When he saw that the person who came was Xiaoqing, the maid beside Ye Zirou, who was holding dishes in her hands, he spoke.

"Miss Xiaoqing? What's the matter?"

Xiao Qing said slowly: "This is what my young lady asked me to bring to you as a reward. You have all worked hard along the way."

When the people inside heard the noise coming from outside, they gathered at the door and looked around curiously.

I saw Miss Xiaoqing standing outside the door, holding a tray full of steaming food.

"Miss Xiaoqing, you've worked hard. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?" One of the yamen runners stared at Xiaoqing with lustful eyes and teased her.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke out around him.

"Yes, yes, come in and sit down."

"Yeah, just chat with the brothers."

Others followed suit, their tone filled with ill intent.

Xiaoqing felt her face burning after hearing these unbearable words, and her originally fair cheeks turned red in an instant.

She held the tray tightly in her hands, her body shaking slightly involuntarily.

At this moment, Long Yi, who was standing aside, had an angry look on his face and his eyes were like sharp knives, coldly scanning everyone present.

Wu Yong also noticed the guard Long Yi beside Mo Tianyu at this time. He was holding a long sword, exuding a fierce murderous aura, and staring at him and others viciously.

Wu Yong knew that his colleagues had gone too far in joking.

His face darkened, he turned around and glared at them, shouting loudly.

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?" The voice was deafening, full of majesty and anger.

Those colleagues were shocked. They never expected Wu Yong to be so angry. They didn't dare to speak for a while, and the whole scene became silent in an instant.

Wu Yong realized that his tone was a bit extreme, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

A smile reappeared on his face and he spoke gently to Xiaoqing.

"Miss Xiaoqing, you must not bother with them. They are just uneducated and rough people who don't know etiquette."

After saying that, Wu Yong reached out his hand, gently took the fish from Xiaoqing, and continued.

"Please, Miss Xiaoqing, convey my gratitude to your young lady."

Xiaoqing nodded slightly to show that she understood, and then she left hurriedly, as if she didn't want to stay any longer.

In the room, Ye Zirou and Xiao Ling had just put the dishes on the table when they saw Xiao Qing and Long Yi coming back together.

Ye Zirou could tell at a glance that Xiaoqing's face looked strange, and she quickly put down what she was holding.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoqing shook her head gently, trying to hide her inner uneasiness.

"Nothing." Her voice trembled slightly.

Ye Zirou saw that something was wrong when she saw her expression, she frowned and said firmly:

"What do you mean nothing? You're obviously hiding something from us! Look at you, it's all written on your face."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoqing's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

Xiao Ling watched from the side and couldn't help but started crying too.

Ye Zirou looked at them in such a state, her heart filled with endless pity and heartache, and she hugged them tightly in her arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry, tell me what happened? I will avenge you."

At this moment, Mo Tianyu quickly glanced at Long Yi, who was standing on the side with his fists clenched, and asked in a deep voice.

"Long Yi, you go ahead."

Long Yi took a deep breath and told him everything that had just happened.

However, before he could finish his words, Long San was already so enraged that he could no longer suppress his inner impulse and was ready to rush out the door to teach those who spoke so arrogantly a lesson.

Ye Zirou suddenly shouted, "Stop! I'll protect my people."

Then, her eyes flashed with burning anger, and she was about to walk out the door.
