Jiang Zihai continued to act coquettishly, but Aunt Dong refused to agree. He stamped his feet in anxiety and his whole body began to tremble.

If throwing a tantrum didn't work, Jiang Zihai was going to start crying next: "Mother, just promise Hai'er and let Hai'er go. Hai'er promises to listen to Second Sister and never cause any trouble or run around!"

Aunt Dong still didn't express her opinion, but turned to look at Jiang Fugui: "Second Miss..."

Jiang Zihai also turned around and started to act coquettishly from Aunt Dong to Jiang Fugui: "Second sister, second sister, Haier wants to go..."

Perhaps because he was afraid that he was not pitiful enough, Jiang Zihai's eyes were filled with moisture, which was a sign that he was about to cry.

Jiang Fugui smiled and said, "Did Brother Haier hear something wrong?"

"Hmm? Is there? Shouldn't there be?"

When asked by Jiang Fugui, Jiang Zihai also started to think. He just heard that they were going out to the restaurant to eat, right?

"Shan Tu and Shan Ying are indeed going to the restaurant later, but they are just going there to order some food and bring it back to the mansion. We will dine in the courtyard."

Jiang Fugui walked to Aunt Dong, bent down, and explained to Jiang Zihai at eye level.

Jiang Zihai's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot. He nestled in Aunt Dong's arms without saying a word, and even pouted his lips. Ha, could he really have made a mistake?

Now it was Aunt Dong's turn to feel something was amiss: "Second Miss, why did you go to the restaurant to order food?"

"Grandmother allowed me to recuperate in the courtyard and sent over a lot of fresh food. I had originally thought that since the small kitchen in the courtyard was already built, I wouldn't have to go to the main kitchen in the palace to get dinner. However, since there was no one in my courtyard who could cook, I thought about borrowing someone from the main kitchen to help, but the kitchen manager refused. So, we discussed it and decided to order a few dishes from the restaurant and bring them back to the courtyard to eat."

"Oh, the housekeeper dared to do this. I guess she must have received instructions from Jiang Weishi, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so boldly."

Aunt Dong heard the trick at once. No one else would do this except Jiang Weishi.

"I don't know the intricacies of this matter. It's just a small matter. I don't want to trouble Grandma again. But dinner still needs to be eaten."

"That's why you say the Second Young Lady is so kind!" Aunt Dong felt sorry for Jiang Fugui again, thinking that Jiang Weishi was going too far. "Okay, let's not order food from the restaurant outside. If the Second Young Lady doesn't mind, I'll cook dinner for you."

Jiang Fugui was slightly surprised: "Excuse me, Aunt Dong, no... no, not quite... okay?"

"There's nothing good or bad about it. Hai'er and I will be making dinner when we return to the courtyard, so why not cook together? With more people, dinner will be more lively, and we can add a few more dishes."

Aunt Dong thought her suggestion was excellent and even started thinking about what dish to prepare. Thinking about it, she called Xianggui over and said, "If the Second Young Lady needs anything, please come back to our courtyard and get it."

Xianggui nodded, responded, and took note of Aunt Dong's instructions.

"Please, Miss Shanying, take me to the small kitchen in your courtyard to take a look." Aunt Dong made arrangements while introducing Jiang Fugui, "Second Miss, I'm afraid you don't know that the kitchen is newly built, so you need to heat the stove to start cooking. This way, the Kitchen God will know where the new stove is for offering incense."

Shan Ying looked at Jiang Fugui in embarrassment, seeking help: "Miss, this..."
