After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 24

The Marquis's wife uttered a soft "Exclamation," and said, "Zhao Zhao, why are you here so early?"

Lu Zhaozhao lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Maybe it's because I've moved to a new place and I can't sleep at night, so I thought I could come here to help Nanny Sang."

Nanny Sang came forward and supported the Marquis' wife, smiling and praising her, "Madam, Miss Zhaozhao is such a thoughtful child. She came to help so early in the morning. She is so hardworking and intelligent. You are so lucky to have such a good child by your side."

The Marquis's wife looked at the dining table and saw that two new dishes had been added to the usual meals.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her gaze to Lu Zhaozhao, and asked softly, "Did you make these two dishes?"

There was a questioning look in the Marquis's wife's eyes as she looked at Lu Zhaozhao, waiting for her answer.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded gently, a shy smile on her face, and said, "Aunt, I wanted to change the taste for you and uncle, so I made these two dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste.

After hearing Lu Zhaozhao's words, the Marquis's wife was deeply moved. "Zhaozhao, when did you get up?"

Lu Zhaozhao: "Aunt, I get up at 11:00 AM. When my mother was alive, I would often get up at this time to serve her. I'm used to it."

As soon as Luo Shuiyao walked to the door of the dining hall, she heard Lu Zhaozhao's words. She entered the room and greeted the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his wife, and was then invited by the Marquis' wife to sit next to her.

She looked at the exquisite meals on the table and sighed in her heart. It was no wonder that the original owner was made to look greedy and lazy by the heroine, and the heroine was too virtuous.

Luo Shuiyao didn't want to be the heroine's foil, nor did she want to get up so early every day to compete for the heroine's favor. She could compete for favor, but she didn't want to get up so early.

She came to the Marquis's Mansion to enjoy herself, not to be a servant, so no one could stop her from sleeping in.

Thinking of this, Luo Shuiyao smiled at Lu Zhaozhao, and said with a tone of amazement and shame: "Sister Zhao, when did you come? Why didn't you call me when you came? If you want to come tomorrow, please call me! I also want to learn from you how to serve the elders. Although my hands and feet may be clumsy and not as clever as you, Sister Zhao, I will definitely learn from you."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis' wife showed a gentle smile on her face, then waved her hand gently, asking Nanny Sang to serve the tempting emerald white jade soup to Lu Zhaozhao and the others.

She said softly, "You guys, you came to this mansion to be masters, not to serve others. There are so many servants in this mansion, why do you need to do it yourself?"

Nanny Sang, who was serving soup nearby, heard the voice and quickly agreed, "That's right, young ladies. Just enjoy your meal and don't worry about these trivial matters. Besides, if you do all the work, what's the point of having us servants?"

Nanny Sang was serving dishes to Luo Shuiyao and the other two, and she pretended to be afraid and ashamed.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had already picked up a white jade fish ball with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a few times and said, "It's fresh, smooth and tender, and chewy and springy. It's really good. Try it." As he spoke, he picked up a piece with his chopsticks for the Marquis' wife.

The Marquis' wife took the fish ball from her husband's bowl, took a bite, and looked at Lu Zhaozhao with surprise. "Zhaozhao, your cooking skills are really good. It seems that whoever marries you in the future will be blessed with a good taste!"

"Uncle, aunt, it's good as long as you can get used to it," Lu Zhaozhao said modestly.

She glanced at Luo Shuiyao casually, "Sister Yao, are you used to eating this? I don't know if you have this kind of food over there. If you're not used to it, tell me."

Luo Shuiyao... why does she feel like the heroine is pulling her down?

Blinking and not thinking any more, she picked up a fish ball and took a bite, praising it sincerely, "Hmm! It's really delicious. Sister Zhao is really ingenious and skillful."

The Marquis's wife smiled, her eyes curved. "Alright, let's have breakfast! Afterwards, we'll go to the Treasure Pavilion to pick out some jewelry for you, especially Yaoyao. Your jewelry is a bit too crude."

Madam Hou then turned her gaze to her second son and said, "Okay, if you have anything to do today, why don't you accompany your two sisters?

Ye Yunxing was enjoying his meal when he was startled by his mother's words. He chewed a few mouthfuls of food and swallowed them before saying, "Mom, I'm busy today. I have to go to see the Master with Changning and the others."

Upon hearing this, the Loyal and Brave Marquis frowned and said, "Why are you going to see the Master? You should learn from your two younger sisters and spend more time with your mother when you have time."

It's not that he wants to ask too many questions, but mainly because this kid often plays tricks with the other kids from the Du family, so as a parent, he naturally has to discipline him.

"That's right, your father is right. You are not young anymore, so don't act foolishly all day long," the marquis's wife echoed the words of the loyal and brave marquis.

Ye Xingyun didn't expect that he would be scolded by his father and mother just by saying a few words.

He put down his chopsticks and said to the Loyal and Brave Marquis with grievance, "Dad, I made an appointment with them to visit the Master because he accidentally broke his leg a while ago. Everyone else went to see him, but we didn't. That's why we made an appointment to go today. I'm your son, how could you miss me like this?"

Nanny Zhang had watched Ye Xingyun grow up, so naturally she felt very sorry for him. Seeing this, she quickly tried to persuade him, "My Lord, Madam, the Second Young Master has been filial since childhood. He usually spends the most time with Madam. He must have something to do before he left today."

The Marquis's wife looked at her son's aggrieved and incredulous expression, and said with some distress, "Alright, Master, please have your meal soon! Don't delay the morning court."

After finishing his meal, Marquis Zhongyong left the house.

In the carriage, Manager Zhang followed him.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery looked at Steward Zhang and asked, "Did the Crown Prince and Miss Luo have any disagreements while on the way to pick her up?"

Steward Zhang was stunned for a moment before reacting and responding, "There was no unpleasantness. The prince and Miss Luo never met."

"Never met before?" The loyal and brave Marquis showed an expression of disbelief.

"Didn't I send a message asking him to pick up Luo Yatou? Even if he came back later, how could the two of them not meet?"

Steward Zhang hesitated for a long moment before slowly saying, "For some reason, the Crown Prince seems to be extremely disgusted with Miss Luo and doesn't want to meet her, so we didn't go the same way as the Crown Prince."

Marquis Zhongyong slowly exhaled, thinking to himself that his son had hated evil since he was young, and there must be some misunderstanding between the two.

Regardless, now that Miss Luo had been brought home, he couldn't allow this misunderstanding to continue. He decided to ask his eldest son today what exactly had caused him to dislike Miss Luo so much.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After the morning court session, Ye Yunzhou was stopped by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery as he reached the door, "Yuan Zheng.
