The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"Don't worry, what's yours is yours alone. No one can take it away from you unless you agree to it," Shen Jinzhu said with a smile, patting her daughter's head.

When Chen Dongxi heard these words, it became as if Shen Jinzhu had deliberately said them to her.

Tell her to stop daydreaming about competing with Yu Ningyao for anything.

If one day Yu Ningyao disagrees with her living in the mansion, will they also listen to her without hesitation and drive her away?

Chen Dongxi clenched his fists.

Shen Jinzhu turned to look at her: "Xi'er, do you see anything you like? If not, I can pick some for you later."

Chen Dong smiled and shook his head.

"No need, these are all gifts from my brothers and sisters, so I won't take them. I came here to let my little brother Ziying try this hibiscus cake. My aunt had someone teach me how to make it."

After saying that, she added, "I'd like to have Ziying try it first. If it tastes good, I'll make a new one for you and Uncle Yu tomorrow."

"You're so thoughtful, child." Shen Jinzhu would never allow herself to give others a chance to use her reputation against her.

She immediately ordered her maid to fetch a pair of silver begonia openwork earrings.

"Here, this is for you."

"It's too valuable, Aunt Shen, I can't accept it," Chen Dongxi said, feigning reluctance.

After a brief back-and-forth tug-of-war, Chen Dongxi finally accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.

Upon seeing the delicious food, Yu Ziying couldn't resist immediately opening it and taking a bite.

"Since it was made for me by Sister Xi'er, then I won't be polite."

Before Shen Jinzhu could stop him, she saw him eat it.

"Delicious." Yu Ziying ate happily and even took out the rest to share with her brother and sister.

Shen Jinzhu quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Alright, the rest is up to Mother. You all, hurry up and wash your hands, it'll be time for dinner later."

Although Yu Ziying wanted to eat another piece, he obediently put down the hibiscus cake after his mother had spoken.

After the children left.

Shen Jinzhu ordered her maid to take the hibiscus cake to a doctor for examination.

“Madam, you suspect…” Emerald’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Better safe than sorry." Shen Jinzhu frowned slightly.

Last time, my husband was poisoned by the eldest wife's food, and my elder brother was almost killed by poison in his wine.

With these two examples in mind, Shen Jinzhu is now paying extra attention to what she eats.

Apart from the food delivered from the small kitchen, everything else must be strictly inspected before it's safe to eat.

"Yes." Jade hurriedly went to have someone check it.

Not long after, she returned with the news.

"Madam, it's normal. Nothing else was added inside."

Shen Jinzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Perhaps I was overthinking it. However, we still need to carefully check the things that are sent from the main branch in the future."

"Yes," the maids replied.

……

Yu Ningyao had been worrying about how to get the medicine into the two concubines of the main wife, but Chen Dongxi's actions today gave her an idea.

She could also take the good things and give them to her aunt.

If all three of them get pregnant at the same time, wouldn't they be even busier?

Yu Ningyao decided to treat them all equally, so that they would all get pregnant and none of them would have come for nothing.

So the next day she insisted that Shen Jinzhu teach her how to make pastries.

Shen Jinzhu was both amused and exasperated, and reached out to tap her forehead.

"You child, you're not even as tall as the stove, what are you trying to learn to make pastries for?"

"I made it, so Daddy and Mommy can try it~" Yu Ningyao tugged at her sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"Mother, please say yes!"

Seeing that she seemed determined to do this, Emerald joined in to persuade her.

"Madam, please agree. Just let Miss have some fun. As for the specifics, let the cook do it; just let her participate."

"Mmm-hmm." Yu Ningyao nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, I'm really scared of you, you little devil. Let's go, let's make some red bean cakes today." Shen Jinzhu finally gave in.

Shen Jinzhu helped her make several plates of red bean cakes.

They only stopped when Yu Ningyao got tired of playing.

"You made more than ten plates of these, how can we possibly finish them all?" Shen Jinzhu looked at the table full of red bean cakes with a helpless expression.

When Chen Dongxi arrived with the freshly made hibiscus cakes, she was stunned to see a table full of pastries.

"Aunt Shen, what's this?"

"I did it!!!" Yu Ningyao patted her chest and proudly introduced herself.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongxi's expression instantly turned sour.

She made pastries to please Uncle Yu and Aunt Shen, and Yu Ningyao copied her. She's shameless.

What a brilliant but pedantic scholar!

"Little Yaoyao is really amazing, she can make pastries at such a young age." Chen Dongxi was indignant, but still praised Yu Ningyao aloud.

"It's nothing special, it was just a joke." Shen Jinzhu affectionately pinched her daughter's cheek.

Chen Dongxi looked on with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

"Aunt Shen, please try my hibiscus cake." She handed over the cake.

Shen Jinzhu looked at the agate.

Agate quickly added, "This servant watched Miss Xi'er do it; she didn't delegate the entire process to anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinzhu knew that the items were safe.

So I smiled and took a bite.

"It tastes good, you put a lot of effort into it."

"If Aunt Shen likes it, I'll make it for you every day from now on," Chen Dong said, looking at her ingratiatingly.

"No need. A young lady's hands are precious; these food-related matters can be left to the servants. You should rest well," Shen Jinzhu shook her head and declined.

Chen Dongxi's smile froze.

Shen Jinzhu clearly didn't want to eat what she made, yet she made up so many excuses.

Yu Ningyao pushed one of the plates of red bean cakes to Chen Dongxi.

"Sister Xi'er, eat."

"Thank you, Yaoyao." Chen Dongxi forced a smile. "It's just that I ate too much hibiscus cake earlier, so I can't eat any more now."

She didn't want to eat a single bite of what Yu Ningyao made.

She wished she could feed what she made to the dogs.

"Oh, okay then." Yu Ningyao looked at her mother again.

"Mother, this is for Grandpa and Grandma, this is for Uncle and Aunt, this is for..."

She started distributing the red bean cakes one by one.

"You are such a filial child, you have arranged everything so perfectly." Shen Jinzhu looked at her daughter with satisfaction.

She then gave the order: "Jadeite, Glass, do as Miss instructed and deliver these red bean cakes to each room."

"No, I'll deliver it myself!" Yu Ningyao didn't trust anyone else to deliver it.

She planned to drug him on the way there and then watch Cui Ruixin take the drug before she felt at ease.

Otherwise, if the medicine is given in advance, it might be delivered to the wrong place, such as to the old lady.

What a fright it would be if the old lady suddenly became pregnant.

Shen Jinzhu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to agree to let her go with the maid to deliver red bean cakes to the various courtyards.

After the old Marquis and his wife accepted the gifts, Yu Ningyao and her entourage went to the main house.

Cui Ruixin was somewhat surprised to hear that Yu Ningyao had sent her some snacks.

Shen Jinzhu cherished this daughter like the apple of her eye, so how could she let her come to her courtyard alone?

She quickly had someone bring Yu Ningyao in.

Yu Ningyao saw the opportunity and decisively administered the medicine.

"Auntie, I made this. Try it! It's so delicious!"

She smiled and held the red bean cake to Cui Ruixin's lips.
