The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Qin Wanrou glared at her lightly, and Aunt Hua immediately fell into the arms of the white-haired Master Li beside her as if she had no bones.

"Master! Look at the eldest young lady, she is really fierce."

Mr. Li just patted Aunt Hua on the back and did not coax her with sweet words as usual.

After all, his eldest daughter-in-law is not so easy to offend!

Chunju waved to her subordinates, and someone immediately came forward and tore off the outer cloth, revealing the paper packaging inside!

"ah!"

The people below immediately exclaimed, "Look, is this wrapped in paper? Why is the picture so beautiful? It doesn't look like it was painted on, it's like it's integrated with the paper."

"Yes! And this paper is hard, and the outer layer seems to reflect light. Is there something smeared on it?"

Everyone is very curious about the outer packaging!

Mr. Li didn't expect that his daughter-in-law would bring out such a good thing. On the surface, it was wrapped in a layer of rag and looked ordinary, but the thing inside was so magical that everyone could only marvel at it!

Aunt Hua was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief.

When Chunju followed Yu Ruyue's instructions and opened the outer paper, the cake inside was immediately revealed. The pictures are for reference only (found online, please delete if infringed, haha). Everyone present stared at the three-layer cake in front of them, their mouths wide open in amazement. "Oh my god! What is this? How come I've never seen it before? What's that milky white thing on top? Why does it smell like milk? And those painted flowers and longevity peaches on it, why do they look fake!?"

When Concubine Hua saw what was inside, she immediately became excited. "What kind of white flour cake is this? How dare you bring it to celebrate Master's birthday? We are not poor and cannot afford peaches. What's the point of putting a fake peach on it?"

Qin Wanrou still ignored Aunt Hua!

Smiling, she went forward and invited Mr. and Mrs. Li to come down, then waved to Yu Ruyue and said, "Ruyue, come here. This thing of yours is really new and I'm a little confused."

"Isn't there a singing candle?"

"Come and help me light it."

Yu Ruyue immediately walked up to them with a smile under everyone's gaze, and gave a very standard greeting to Master Li, Madam Li, and Qin Wanrou, "My humble servant greets Master Li, Madam Li, and the eldest young lady."

Aunt Hua, who had finally squeezed in, was successfully ignored.

She was so angry that she started to taunt again, "What singing candle? How come I have never heard of it? You are just a peasant, I am afraid you are lying."

Yu Ruyue ignored Aunt Hua, and the people around her would not talk to a concubine, completely ignoring her.

Concubine Hua couldn't get angry, but Li Lin could. He relied on the fact that he was favored by Master Li and had really gotten into a lot of trouble. Now, regardless of the occasion, he stood up and pointed at Yu Ruyue and said, "Where did you come from, you lowly maid? Didn't you hear my mother talking to you? Why don't you bow to my mother?"

"Sister-in-law! You don't know etiquette yourself, and the maid you raised is just as ignorant of etiquette as you."

"Brother! Isn't that little incident from before over? My aunt said it wasn't intentional, so why are you still holding on to it? Are you trying to cause family discord and become an unfilial son?"

Li Quan was most afraid of being accused of being unfilial. He immediately stood up and looked at his pregnant wife with some disapproval, "Wanrou, where did you find this person? How could she be so ignorant of etiquette?"

Qin Wanrou glanced at him calmly and asked Master Li directly, "Father! Do you also think that I am the one who doesn't know etiquette?"

Mr. Li's originally good mood suddenly disappeared. Although he liked Concubine Hua, he knew that the Li family could not offend his eldest daughter-in-law, or more accurately, could not offend the Qin family behind him.

But Aunt Hua and Li Lin were his treasures after all, so he could only order Yu Ruyue, "Okay, stop talking, and quickly take out the candles. Let me see what a singing candle is."

Yu Ruyue looked at Qin Wanrou next to her, and after getting Qin Wanrou's approval, she took out the lotus candle from the side, inserted it in the center of the cake, and took out a fire starter from her sleeve, placed it on the lotus candle and lit it.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the lotus candle. Suddenly, the candle split in the middle, and accompanied by a burst of music, a lotus slowly blossomed. The petals even swirled around the pistil, shocking everyone so much that their mouths dropped open. "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you..."

Qin Wanrou and the maid beside her sang the song taught by Yu Ruyue along with the music!

The melody was simple and easy to understand, and soon people started singing along. In the end, everyone joined in and sang Happy Birthday together.

After it was over, Yu Ruyue took the lead in clapping and said to Master Li with a smile, "Master Li! You can make a birthday wish now. Just make a birthday wish facing the birthday candles, and they will come true after you blow them out!"

Madam Li smiled and said, "Master, make a wish!"

At Yu Ruyue's suggestion, Mr. Li closed his eyes and silently began to make a wish, then suddenly blew out the candle.

Everyone thought that after the candle was blown out, the lotus candle would stop rotating and singing, and they all felt it was a pity, but unexpectedly, after the candle was blown out, the song continued to sing!

Yu Ruyue explained with a smile, "Don't worry, the candles will continue to sing for a long time. Just pull them out and put them aside."

Chunju hurriedly tried to pull out the candle, but Master Li waved her hand away and carefully removed the candle from the cake himself. He then handed it to his personal butler and said, "Put it in my room!"

The butler held the candle carefully, as if it were some rare treasure, and trotted back to the inner room under the envious gazes of everyone.

Qin Wanrou was also amazed by the magic of the candle and wanted to listen to the melody for a while longer, but her father-in-law was too stingy and just took it away.

Yu Ruyue quietly pulled her sleeve and said with a smile, "Madam, you can cut the cake and share it."

Qin Wanrou finally came to her senses. Yu Ruyue was right next to her and she couldn't leave her. So she had to have a cake for her birthday.

So she took out a long knife from the side and handed it to her father-in-law.

Yu Ruyue had already greeted Qin Wanrou in advance and prepared the knives and forks, and she took out the knives and forks that came with the cake.

After Master Li cut with the knife, Yu Ruyue took the lead in applauding again, as if Master Li had done something great!

Mr. Li was so pleased with the compliment that he immediately waved his hand and asked people to distribute the cake.

He soon regretted this decision.

He had just dug for a while when he put the cake into his mouth. The creamy and smooth taste filled his mouth, making him open his eyes wide in surprise. Then he dug out a piece of the cake base below. It was sweet and soft in the mouth, with jam in the middle. The taste was very rich, and he couldn't help but eat bite after bite.

He is old now and has lost several teeth, so many things are difficult for him to eat. But he swallowed this cake with just one bite, without even chewing.

He took a bite of the fake longevity peach that Aunt Hua complained about. The peach was covered with a layer of hard sugar that melted in his mouth, and inside was soft, sweet and cream that made him unable to stop.

He couldn't help but sigh, "This longevity peach is actually even more delicious than the real thing. What's that hard layer on the outside? How can it taste so unique?"
