Chapter 116 Accidentally Captured the Old Lady's Stomach

The old lady's noble and kind face changed in an instant.

"you………."

"Why don't you sit down and eat something? It's a light porridge hot pot. Only when you're full will you have the energy to curse."

Seeing Yun Qiao like this, Mrs. Chang, who was standing by, felt like laughing in her heart, and then she persuaded the old lady.

"Mrs. Qiao is a very good cook, old lady. Why don't you sit down and taste it?"

"Am I here to eat some kind of porridge-based hot pot?"

As the old lady spoke, her eyes were fixed on the porridge hotpot. The taste was indeed rich in the aroma of rice porridge, and it was really pleasant. But no, this was not the main purpose of her visit.

"Mrs. Qiao, do you know why the Marquis went to Guangcheng?"

Yun Qiao stood up and said respectfully, "I don't know. The Marquis didn't tell me anything when he left."

"He really loves you." The old lady snorted twice, then continued, "I don't know what's going on in Guangcheng, but it's not a good thing. You are the Marquis's favorite concubine in the Marquis' Mansion. Now that the Marquis' Mansion is without a mistress, can't you pay more attention to the Marquis?"

"I understand." Yun Qiao said softly.

Our main point is that you say yours and I listen to mine, it goes in with the left ear and out with the right ear.

"The Marquis is not here, so you should all behave yourself."

Yun Qiao nodded again, "Yes, I will listen to the old lady."

Seeing that she was indeed well-behaved, not making excuses or talking back, the old lady had nothing to scold her for, so she took Mother Chang away.

Just wait until we get back to the main courtyard.

The old lady whispered, "Go, make me a porridge hot pot. Just prepare it like Aunt Qiao's. The shrimp in the porridge hot pot looks good too."

Mother Chang nodded hurriedly.

"Madam, please wait a moment..."

On this side, Yun Qiao, after seeing off the old lady, continued to eat hot pot around the stove.

He also instructed Qiuye to prepare some small things and send someone to deliver them to the Marquis in Guangcheng.

This means that she cares about the Marquis.

Just as he finished explaining, he heard the little maid outside the door say that Madam Chang who served the old lady had arrived.

Yun Qiao was afraid that the old lady would have some new ideas, so she stood up and walked towards the door.

"Mother Chang, why are you here? Did the old lady leave something here?"

"Aunt Qiao, this porridge hot pot looks good to me. Could you please prepare one for me?"

The side dishes for hot pot are easy to prepare, but this porridge-based hot pot is made by Aunt Qiao herself.

The people in the big kitchen are really not very good at it.

Mother Chang came to find Yunqiao.

Yun Qiao looked simple but not stupid. After hearing what Chang Mama said, she understood. It was said that it was Chang Mama who wanted to eat it, but in fact, it was the old lady who wanted to eat it.

"Why not? I'll prepare it right away. So, Madam Chang, please go back first. I'll have the maid bring it to you when it's ready."

Yun Qiao's words made Chang's mother like her even more.

"Then I'll trouble Aunt Qiao. I'll go back first."

"Mother Qiao is sending Mother Chang off." Yun Qiao said as she walked out.

Mother Chang smiled and said, "No need to send it. Aunt Qiao is busy preparing the soup base, but it has to be exactly the same as what you are eating."

Yun Qiao smiled faintly and nodded.

After Chang's mother left, Yun Qiao called Qiu Chan over and started preparing porridge-based hot pot in the small kitchen.

"Mother Chang just wants to eat it, there's no need for you to prepare it yourself."

"You don't understand this, do you? Madam Chang is the old lady's servant. When did Madam Chang become someone who doesn't know her limits?"

"What do you mean?" Qiu Chan paused, as if she had discovered something, and immediately became a little excited: "Is it that the old lady wants to eat the hot pot you made?"

"Auntie, if you can capture the old lady's stomach, your life will be safe."

Yun Qiao smiled and tapped Qiu Chan, "Stop talking nonsense. Get ready quickly and take it to the old lady."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Chan was right.

After the old lady ate the porridge-based hot pot prepared by Yun Qiao, she really liked it. She especially liked to dig out the cooked winter melon and eat it.

Suddenly one day, the old lady was in a good mood and called Yun Qiao to have a crab feast.

I have to say, following the old lady is really a life of luxury.

After all this, Yun Qiao herself didn't expect that her relationship with the old lady had improved a lot.

The old lady is really a person of good nature. She can see that Yun Qiao is a really good person and has no ulterior motives. The two of them just eat and drink together.

Today Yun Qiao thought of a delicious dish and sent someone to give it to the old lady to try.

After a few days, the old lady would ask her servants to send the delicious meals she ate to Yun Qiao to taste.

It's as if we owe each other nothing, we just go back and forth.

Yun Qiao suddenly felt that following the old lady was much better than following the Marquis. At least with the old lady, she didn't have to give birth to children. The old lady didn't want her to give birth to the Marquis's children at all.

"Auntie, the hawthorn water is ready. Drink it while it's hot."

"Okay, bring it to me quickly to help me digest the food. The old lady is really a foodie. The food she eats is all delicious. Today's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is the best I have ever tasted."

Because it tasted so good, she accidentally ate too much.

At this moment, I can only drink some hawthorn water to aid digestion.

"The old lady is so kind to you."

"When the Marquis comes back and knows how much you please the old lady, he will definitely be happy for you."

Yun Qiao sipped the hawthorn water and spoke slowly, "The old lady and I were simply exchanging delicious food. It has nothing to do with anything else, and it has nothing to do with the Marquis either."

"Auntie, I really can't guess what you are thinking. As your maid, I am undoubtedly unqualified."

Qiu Chan said in a low voice.

As a maid, one has to guess the master's thoughts to make a living, but Qiu Chan found that she, Qiu Ye and even Xiao Tao did not quite understand what Aunt Qiao was thinking.

Yun Qiao finished drinking the hawthorn water and sat on the couch.

She was also thinking about Qiu Chan's words.

But, does she need to be understood? She doesn't really want to be understood.

When she first traveled to ancient times, she lived in the body of a six-year-old girl. Her skinny body could not support her ambitions and aspirations. She also wanted to do many things to gain recognition from others, especially her uncle Chen Ruhai...

But in the end he got nothing and was beaten severely by Zhou.

When she didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, she would go to her uncle and cry to him.

But in the end, Chen Ruhai turned around to take care of his official business and left her to Zhou. Zhou would suppress her with force and beat and scold her often.

Later she stopped saying anything, learned to hide her shortcomings and act like a blockhead.

This actually reduced the number of times he got beaten, and he also played dumb and put down his attitude so that he could eat his fill in the kitchen.

Ancient times are not modern times, you can't do whatever you want.

There is no so-called personal freedom here, let alone starting a business. It is difficult for ordinary people to survive, let alone her, an orphan fostered in her uncle's house.

She grew up with patience, but was not able to live a free life as she wished. Instead, her aunt sold her to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in order to curry favor with her.

Is Chen Jingyan really that good?

He may be genuinely kind to her, but Chen Jingyan is not a man without means.

That time when she left the Marquis' Mansion and walked on the mountain, she encountered men in black handling corpses. If she guessed correctly, it should be Chen Jingyan and his men.

Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan had awe, fear, catering and flattery, but they did not have love.

To avoid being hurt by others, you must protect your own heart.

Yun Qiao felt that she was doing fine the way she was now.

"Don't guess what I'm thinking. I'll tell you what I want."

"Qiu Chan, do you think I'm easy to get along with?" Yun Qiao asked her.

Qiu Chan nodded. "Although I can't guess what Aunt Qiao is thinking, I do know that Aunt Qiao is the best mistress to us servants. You don't know that in this mansion, except for the people in the old lady's courtyard, everyone in the other courtyards envy us, saying that we just idle away our time without Aunt Qiao scolding us."

Qiu Chan immediately spoke out what was in his heart.

She was also afraid that if Yun Qiao found out, she would punish them for being sneaky, so she immediately said, "Auntie, we haven't been idle all day. We have been doing everything you said."

Yun Qiao smiled and said, "I'm not angry, why are you so nervous?"

"As long as you complete the tasks I assign you, you can then do your own things. It's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone, and that's how we all win. If you're in a good mood, you'll serve me wholeheartedly, right?"

Qiu Chan nodded hurriedly.
