After taking a stroll outside, she returned with the stove and the signature, and then led the people in the courtyard to start skewering meat. They quickly skewered quite a lot, but since there weren't many people in the household, she stopped after skewering a few.

It was already afternoon, and she had prepared the fruit and wine. She sent someone to the front yard to invite Lord Wen over.

As it turned out... when Lord Wen arrived, he was followed by his second uncle, Wen Ershu.

Upon seeing the delicious food, Uncle Wen Er greeted them and immediately sent someone to invite Aunt Wen Er over. Aunt Wen Er was talking with Aunt Wen San when they heard that Du Mingxian had something good to eat, so the two sisters-in-law came together.

This is like pulling out a radish and bringing out the mud along with it.

When Aunt Wen arrived, she saw that everyone was there except for Uncle Wen. She immediately sent someone to invite them, and soon everyone arrived.

Du Mingxian looked at the things she had prepared before, but now they weren't enough, so she immediately told the people in the courtyard to continue preparing.

Wen Yibin was a little unhappy. He accepted that Du Mingxian had asked his eldest brother to come over, but why did his second and third brothers bring their families along?

When Aunt Wen smelled the aroma of roasted meat, she immediately sent her maid to invite her son over. Wen Yibin, who was full of displeasure, saw this and immediately spoke up to stop her.

"Don't go."

Aunt Wen was a little embarrassed, but as a mother, she naturally wanted her children to have some of this delicious food. So she looked at Wen Yibin with some difficulty and said, "Fourth brother, this looks fresh, why don't we let the children come over together?"

"Second sister-in-law, that's enough. Huan'er only wanted to invite eldest brother. The fact that second brother came with eldest brother means that the two of them are together and came to take a look. After second brother finished looking, he sent someone to invite you. I didn't say anything. You all really don't act like outsiders."

"Do they really think we're all fools? They always try to take advantage of us when there's something good to eat. I've never seen them treat Huan'er like a sibling."

"That's all for today. If you don't want to eat, or if you're worried about the children, you can go home first."

Wen Yibin doesn't get angry easily, but when he does, it's not something an ordinary person can handle; he goes straight for the kill.

Aunt Wen was extremely embarrassed. She wanted to leave, but her love of food prevented her from taking the first step. However, if she didn't leave, she would be embarrassed by what people said about her. She didn't know what to do.

Uncle Wen stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "I think Fourth Brother is right. Those children aren't close to Huan'er usually, so they shouldn't come over now. It's just the few of us today."

After saying that, he pulled Aunt Wen to sit down next to him and whispered, "I used to ask you to talk to the children and have them talk to Huan'er more often. Did they listen to you?"

"You're thinking about your son today, but have you considered that all these things were prepared by Huan'er? Why should they come over to eat? Don't say that Fourth Brother is unwilling, I'm not willing either."

Aunt Wen didn't resent anyone; she simply wanted her son to have a good meal. "Alright, the kids are grown up now. It's time to let go. They wouldn't listen to what I told them before, so stop worrying about them now."

Aunt Wen: "..." What kind of talk is this person giving?

This incident passed quickly, and Du Mingxian didn't say a word. She was happy that someone was willing to stand up for her, but she wasn't going to be a fool and act like a saint.

She didn't like any of the children in the Wen family's current generation.

The reason Aunt Wen and the others came over must be because Master Wen was too embarrassed to speak directly to his own younger brother and sister-in-law, so he could only call Uncle Wen over and ask him to go back and talk to Aunt Wen to find a suitable wife for Wen Yibin.

It just so happened that someone from her courtyard went to invite him, and that's how Uncle Wen came over, which led to what happened next.

Du Mingxian guessed the truth, but she certainly didn't expect that when Lord Wen heard her invitation, he immediately told Uncle Wen to go back to his own courtyard.

But Uncle Wen really liked the food Du Mingxian made, and said a lot of nice things to persuade Lord Wen to bring him over.

After everyone had hot pot together last time, Uncle Wen and the others had been thinking about it, but they didn't dare to come and see Du Mingxian on ordinary days, for fear of upsetting their patriarch, Lord Wen.

This girl is now Lord Wen's darling.

With such a great opportunity today, no one wants to miss it.

Not only Aunt Wen Er wanted other children to come, but even Aunt Wen San had the same idea. However, with Aunt Wen Er in front, she didn't speak up.

Fearing being disturbed, Wen Yibin directly told the butler to arrange for the food to be delivered to the other young masters, as the elders wanted to have a meal together and discuss some matters.

After explaining all this, Wen Yibin immediately closed the gate to Du Mingxian's courtyard, making it a closed gate that he wouldn't open for anyone, wanting only to eat in peace.

When the little foodie heard the news, he actually came. He knocked on the door a few times and shouted in the yard. With Wen Yibin blocking the way, who would dare to open it?

So the little foodies called out for a long time without getting a response, and finally Wen Yibin gave them a cold "Get lost." and they all ran away.

Their uncle, not much older than them, was a ruthless and unruly man who would beat them up without hesitation, unlike their parents, who, even if they said they would beat them, would never actually hit them.

Du Mingxian watched the excitement from the sidelines. After the people outside left, Wen Yibin picked up another skewer and ate it with great joy.

Seeing that Du Mingxian had been grilling the food and hadn't eaten much herself, Lord Wen felt a little sorry for her. "Huan'er, let the servants grill some more. Come and sit here and rest for a while."

"Ok."

Du Mingxian had already instructed Ke'er and Lian'er to sit down and eat with the elders.

Perhaps it was the delicious food that put everyone in a good mood, because no one said anything discouraging that night, and everyone left very late, still wanting more.

After finishing this meal, Wen Yibin was already thinking about the next one, but he knew that unless something came up, the girl definitely wouldn't prepare another one, so he said, "Next time, let's invite Qi Ji to have a barbecue together."

Du Mingxian burst out laughing. She wasn't going to pretend not to see through his little scheme. She asked directly, "Is Uncle afraid that if I don't invite him, I won't cook you anything delicious?"

"That's true. Your uncle is really pitiful as an elder; he doesn't even dare to order you around."

Du Mingxian blinked. "If Uncle wants to eat something delicious, it's simple. Just find an aunt as soon as possible. I'll teach all my cooking skills to her, and Uncle can eat whatever he wants from now on. She'll cook everything for you."

"You naughty girl, you must have said something to your eldest brother today. Did you see that your father went to see your second uncle this afternoon? He must have told your second uncle to go back and tell your second aunt about finding me a partner."

It’s true.

So everyone figured it out.

“I didn’t say anything; it’s your father who cares about you.”

"I don't believe you." Wen Yibin said and left, exuding a lazy air.
