The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 77 This terrible cooking

There is a small kitchen in Qingliang Courtyard, which was used by Xiao Shi when she lived there. Nanny Ji sealed the kitchen in the other courtyard, but she didn't care about the kitchens in the west, so the kitchen can still be used.

Ye Qingmei took her maid to the kitchen and asked for three radishes. The cook added two onions, two garlic cloves, and secretly gave her a bowl of lard. Before leaving, she felt that it was still not enough, so she gritted her teeth and took out another piece of meat from the vegetable cellar.

In fact, most people in the mansion liked Ye Wenyan. After all, she was the granddaughter that the old man loved the most. She was generous on weekdays and would give tips to the kitchen whenever she thought the food was to her taste. In addition, the eldest lady never treated the servants harshly when she was in charge of the household, so he hoped from the bottom of his heart that the eldest lady and her family could live a good life.

But now that the head of the family has changed, the old lady doesn't like the eldest lady's family, and the servants can't do anything even if they feel sorry for the fourth lady. They are absolutely not happy with the meals they had before, but because the old lady's people come to watch over the three meals a day, they can't even add a little rice to the eldest lady's family.

Finally, the old lady stopped sending anyone these past two days. I heard that the old lady was struck by lightning. And the eldest lady came to ask for radish dumplings. The maid in the kitchen felt that the opportunity to show off had come, and she was so excited that she almost went over to help make them herself.

Ye Qingmei was very nervous all the way back to Qingliangyuan from the big kitchen. Her maid Ruizhu held the meat in her arms like a thief, fearing that someone would see it.

Fortunately, no one saw it, and even if someone did, they wouldn't dare to say anything.

What happened on the night of the seventh day of the sacrifice was widely spread, from the second master's hand being burned, to the third young lady being hung up and beaten, to the old lady being struck by lightning. Each event was passed on in a mysterious and bizarre way, until it was finally spread as: Whoever goes against the fourth young lady will be taken away by God.

The image of the fourth young lady as a witch was reestablished! Finally returning to Qingliang Courtyard, Duanzhu ran into the small kitchen with the meat in her arms, and saw Aunt Ji standing there kneading dough. She was dumbfounded at the time and stammered: "Ji, Aunt Ji, I, I took it..."

Madam Ji glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "The head kitchen staff are smart enough to give me a piece of meat. Go chop it up quickly and mix it into the stuffing. It's been a while since we've seen any greasy food."

Ruizhu thought she had misheard, "Doesn't Mammy go to each courtyard to prevent them from eating meat at three meals a day?"

Zhuier couldn't listen any longer: "Sister Ruizhu, Nanny Ji went to watch over the East Courtyard and the Central Courtyard, but she never wandered around our West Courtyard! They are not allowed to eat meat, but that doesn't mean we can't eat it either. Come in quickly and close the door. We'll have a good meal after it's cooked." After that, she asked Ye Wenyan, "Miss, can you let me taste two?"

Mu took over the conversation: "Everyone has a share. We don't distinguish between master and servant today."

The maids were very happy, and Madam Ji also smiled. Ye Qingmei put the radish, green onion and oil in her hand on the stove, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Ye Feiyu who had rushed over and said, "Next time, let my brother do this kind of thing."

Ye Feiyu nodded, "Okay, I'll go next time. But remember, after this meal, burn some incense for your father and grandfather at night, and chant a few words to them. Don't let the deceased think that we, their descendants, are unfilial."

Madam Mu took over the conversation, "It's not that complicated. The vegetarian thing was originally brought up by the old lady because she couldn't save face. Otherwise, people in this mansion would eat meat every day, but we just can't eat it. Your father and grandfather won't make a fuss about this, and they won't think we are unfilial because of this."

Ye Feiyu nodded, "Mother is right. Didn't I mention that just now?" Then he looked at Ye Wenyan again. This look scared him so much that he shouted, "Yan'er, what are you doing? Put it down quickly and don't do it again!"

Everyone turned around, and saw Ye Wenyan standing in a corner secretly kneading dough! This small kitchen had no rice or flour since the second day of the twelfth lunar month. Later, Ye Wenyan sold gems for rice and got some, and with the rice sent by Jiang Wanting, Qingliangyuan was able to fill up.

Ye Wenyan has lived two lifetimes, and the only thing she hasn't figured out is cooking. No matter whether it's rice or noodles, she can't cook either of them.

For example, how to describe the scene that Ye Feiyu saw at this moment? He poured noodles with one hand and water with the other. If it was too thin, he added noodles. If it was too dry, he added water. He watched the noodles at the bottom of a basin fill up. Then, a large bowl of water was poured in, and the noodles became thin again.

Everyone was stunned, even Aunt Ji covered her eyes silently. It turned out that the omnipotent Fourth Miss Ye couldn't cook! I don't know if Lord Emperor Zun can cook. If he can't, she must inform the Ji family to quickly train a few chefs and send them to Yanhua Palace. After all, Lord Emperor Zun said that the food in the imperial kitchen of the palace was too bad, and he would rather fast than eat more.

The Emperor can practice fasting, but the Fourth Young Lady may not be able to, so the Ji family has to take on this task. Nanny Ji thinks far ahead, and Madam Mu doesn't think near either. Seeing the scene her daughter created, she sighed, "Although you don't have to cook for yourself after you get married, you still have to learn how to make some small meals. Otherwise, if your future husband is hungry at night, and you can't even roll out a noodle, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Ye Wenyan also felt embarrassed. Cooking is such a simple thing. Why can't she do it well? She originally planned to knead the dough and wrap it herself, and then bring it to Shi Liyuan to taste in the evening and let him praise it. Who would have thought that she would be ruined at the step of kneading the dough? Is kneading the dough really that difficult?

Ye Feiyu begged her: "Just hide away, don't do anything and you will be a great help to us."

Ye Qingmei also said, "Yes, just sit by and wait for the food. You have been the one waiting for the food since you were a child, and we are used to it. It's a pity that I don't have any candy in my hand, so I can't coax you like before."

Ye Feiyu silently took out a piece of candy from his pocket and said, "I have it and it's always ready. You used to like it, but I don't know if you still like it now." After he said this, he looked at his sister with a bit of nervousness in his eyes, but also expectation.

Ye Qingmei was puzzled: "Can tastes change? What's the difference between the past and now?"

Ye Feiyu didn't answer, but asked again: "Yan'er, do you still like to eat candy now?"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "I like it! Candy is sweet, and what my brother gives me is even sweeter to my heart. Thank you, brother." She stood still, but opened her mouth! Just like the fourth young lady of the night before, she only needed to open her mouth, and her brother and sister would always push the candy aside, put it in her mouth, and then gently scrape it on the tip of her nose, saying: naughty.

Ye Feiyu also smiled, "I'm glad you like it. I'll keep it ready in the future. Come to me if you want to eat it." After that, he peeled off the candy wrapper, put the candy in her mouth, and scratched her nose habitually, "You're naughty."

Everyone was having a great time in the small kitchen, but outside the kitchen, Ye Lianmian was watching this scene quietly and listening to them talking. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. The more he listened, the more he wanted to snatch the candy and put it in his own mouth.

She was obviously a younger sister, so why did her brothers and sisters only love Ye Wenyan? Her mother also only loved Ye Wenyan? Only her father treated her well, but unfortunately, her father was gone, and there was no place for her in the first house.

But it doesn't matter. She doesn't care about these things. She was raised by her grandmother, so she is naturally the closest to her grandmother. Unfortunately, her grandmother is old, and the death of her grandfather has made her feel a sense of crisis. She is afraid that one day her grandmother will also be gone. What should she do? Rely on her second uncle and second aunt? She has tried to curry favor with them these days, but unfortunately, her second uncle and second aunt treat her coldly. She always tries to please them with her warm face, which is very undignified.

She had to do it even if it meant no dignity, because her own mother didn't love her and her brother didn't care for her! She was the most redundant one in the eldest wife's family. She was rejected and sent away when she was born. Now the whole family was happily making dumplings, but no one remembered her, as if she didn't exist and was picked up. It was said that even the servants could eat together, but no one thought of asking her to join in. She wanted to curse this family, curse them to have a short life and a bad death!

While people were eating dumplings around the table in Qingliang Courtyard, it was a completely different scene in the Second Madam's Huayu Courtyard.

Xiao stood in the middle of the yard, staring at the direction of the woodshed with a gloomy face, twisting a handkerchief in her hands until the threads were torn off.

Jinxiu advised her, "Madam, think positively. The Second Master just went in to persuade Xichun and try to find out who else she told about that matter. As long as we find out who that person is, we can kill her directly and don't have to keep her alive anymore."

Xiao knew this was the truth, but she was panicking in her heart. She felt that this matter was not that simple, and Ye Jingsheng's persuasion might not really get her to say what she wanted to say.

If she couldn't get the truth out, the only option left was to make Na Xichun her concubine. Even if she was unwilling, she had to swallow her anger and accept the reality. The matter was too big and could not be exposed, otherwise the first wife would definitely turn against her.

She was not afraid before, she even dared to exchange Ye Wenyan's kiss with the old lady. But after these few days, she was really afraid. She was afraid that Ye Wenyan would press her hand into the brazier, and even more afraid that Ye Wenyan would hang her up and beat her. And the thunder that struck the old lady, although it was thunder from the sky, why did she always feel that the thunder was related to Ye Wenyan?

The fourth girl was very evil, and had been acting evil ever since she came back alive on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. She didn't want to confront her head-on for the time being.

With a clang, the door of the woodshed opened. Xiao's heart trembled, and she subconsciously ran forward a few steps. At a glance, she saw Xichun delicately holding Ye Jingsheng's injured hand and walking out of the woodshed. As she walked, she said, "Master, be careful. Don't move this hand anymore. I will help you hold it, so it will heal faster."

With the word "concubine", Xiao Shi understood that her husband had decided to take Xichun as a concubine...
