Chapter 302: Yun Qiao leaned against the window as a spectator and unexpectedly ate delicious fried chicken

Chen Jingyan glared at Mai Dong, "Ahem, what are you talking about? I'm your brother, and you don't show any respect at all. Okay, just laugh it off, go back to your room and go to sleep."

"I understand. I will learn from my sister-in-law tomorrow how to control her husband."

Chen Jingyan was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned away.

Maidong smiled behind her, but her heart was warm. She had hated her parents before, wondering why they didn't want her.

Now seeing how good her brother was to her, her heart was healed again.

The next morning, Maidong came to have dinner with Yunqiao in a good mood. Chen Jingyan had not gotten up yet. Yunqiao heard the maid say that Miss Maidong had come and was watching three boys reading in the morning outside.

Chaochao and Mumu have the habit of reading in the morning.

Because Li Yuan and Gu Heng went to Jiangcheng, and Chen Yang himself did not want to live in Chunhui Garden, he lived in the East Courtyard with his two brothers.

Seeing his two brothers reading in the morning, he also called the maid to help him dress, took the Three Character Classic, and read seriously with his brothers.

Maidong was just outside watching them, and it looked very festive.

After hearing what the maid said, Yun Qiao was about to stand up.

But the man grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms, "Let them go play. You usually stay in bed and won't get up even if you call you, but today you are quite diligent."

Yun Qiao struggled to break free and whispered, "Be gentle."

"Maidong is here, I have to get up and have breakfast with her."

Yun Qiao glared at Chen Jingyan and said, "Aren't you still going to Jiangcheng? It's already this late and you're not going to get up yet?"

Chen Jingyan took Yun Qiao's arm and kissed her twice on the face.

"Get up, get up now."

"Madam, your temper has been getting worse lately. Once I have dealt with the flood in Jiangcheng, I will come back and put out the fire for you."

Yun Qiao pushed Chen Jingyan's arm away and said, "Go away, you're talking nonsense."

Yun Qiao called the maid in to help him dress and wash. Chen Jingyan got up only after she was done. It was much simpler for him. He didn't need anyone to help him wash his face.

When Yunqiao is ready, ask the maid to bring breakfast.

Hearing Yun Qiao's voice, Mai Dong stood up, "Sister-in-law."

"Looking at your face, you must be in a much better mood. Last night I asked you but you didn't tell me that you had a quarrel with Lu Yu. Tell me and I will take you to the Zhao family to find him."

Maidong then laughed, "No, sister-in-law."

"Don't worry about it. How about we go have breakfast together now?"

Maidong also didn't want Yunqiao to worry about his own troubles.

Since Maidong didn't say anything, Yunqiao didn't ask either.

"Okay, let's go eat first. But don't mention the trip to Jiangcheng. Write a letter to your friends and have your brother take it back to you. I think everything should be fine. Don't worry too much."

Maidong's expression turned serious. "I hope so."

"I've lived in Jiangcheng for so many years and never experienced a flood like this. This time, it was very serious. I didn't go, but I've heard about it. The water inside the city was waist-high. The farmland outside the city was basically completely submerged. Crops were completely destroyed, and countless people were killed or injured..."

"Don't be too pessimistic. The court will find a way."

Chen Jingyan, who arrived from behind, looked at Mai Dong and continued, "Food and a large number of men have already been sent there. Furthermore, the patrol troops in the city have been dispatched to Mobei to rescue people and farmland. The Mobei troops will also come to Jiangcheng to carry out post-flood reconstruction work. The court will pay for this."

"Really? Brother, did the emperor say the same thing?"

Chen Jingyan didn’t know whether the emperor said it or not, but he knew that as long as he was there, the little emperor had to do it.

Chen Jingyan gave a perfunctory "hmm".

"Hurry up and eat."

The three children were also called over and surrounded Maidong, calling her "Auntie".

Maidong picked up food for the three children throughout the meal with a loving look on his face.

But he has always taken special care of Nian Nian.

"Nian Nian is our family's treasure. Eat more and tell your aunt what you want. Your aunt will satisfy you. Okay?"

Nian Nian lowered her head and ate whatever was given to her.

But if they encounter something they particularly dislike, they will frown, but they will still eat it.

There is no one in the family who doesn't love Nian Nian.

Maidong watched the little girl eat with gusto. She sighed, "Sister-in-law, is there really no cure for Nian Nian's illness?"

"Maidong, stop talking."

Chen Jingyan reminded.

Yun Qiao said softly, "It's okay."

"Nian Nian's illness cannot be cured for now. Perhaps when she grows up and matures, she will suddenly recover."

"So, I also ask you, my aunt, to take good care of our Nian Nian in the future."

Mai Dong immediately assured, "Of course, you can rest assured, sister-in-law."

After breakfast, the three children went to study, and Nian Nian was taken by the maid to play in the yard.

But usually, it was the maids who teased the children, and Nian Nian just watched indifferently without any reaction.

Yun Qiao was packing Chen Jingyan's things for his trip to Jiangcheng, including food, drinks, and daily necessities. He also needed to prepare several sets of clothes and shoes, as the weather was hot and he wouldn't have enough clothes to change into.

"Your Highness, don't worry. I have prepared everything for you."

Yun Qiao said softly, "I trust you to do the job. Alright, send these things to the carriage."

Lily groaned and went out with the things in her hand.

Chen Jingyan came out from the inner room and kissed Yun Qiao on the lips several times.

"I really want to take you there too."

"You're going on errands. Besides, you have a little son who needs someone by his side."

Chen Jingyan knew it, but he only said that he would take Yunqiao to Jiangcheng.

Yun Qiao sent him to the carriage and was about to come back when she saw a man standing outside the door, hesitating and hesitating.

It seems like someone has discovered him.

Yun Qiao looked at the man and walked over, "Mr. Lu..."

"Your Highness." Lu Yu turned and looked at Yun Qiao. "I actually wanted to come look for Mai Dong. We had a misunderstanding that day, and I wanted to look for her, but she wouldn't see me."

"I know. Come in."

"Maidong is a girl, and she's younger than you, so you should be more tolerant of her. If you think she's gone too far, come and tell us. We're her family, and we can talk to her, but don't be mean to her or scold her."

Lu Yu immediately said, "How could I bear to scold her?"

"Let me be honest with you. It's about my cousin. We both know deep down that I don't like her, and she doesn't like me either. It might be because she's always been arrogant and can't stand others liking her, so some of her behavior might be awkward..."

Yun Qiao understood everything Lu Yu said and didn't say.

"I can understand the little girl's awkward thoughts."

"After you get married, you'll move out anyway, and you won't be living in the Zhao family..."

Lu Yu hesitated for a long time. There were some things he didn't know how to say, so he just thought about it in his mind.

But Yunqiao can read people's thoughts.

[My grandmother wants me to continue living in the Zhao family after I get married. How should I tell Princess Huayang about this?]

[Forget it, let's talk about it later. Right now, I just need to appease Maidong.]

Yun Qiao's eyes changed slightly. It seemed that if Mai Dong could not leave after marrying Lu Yu, then the young lady of the Zhao family would have to get married as soon as possible.

"Can I go in and see Maidong?"

"Well, go in."

Yun Qiao said this and walked forward, with Lu Yu following behind and entering the Marquis' Mansion.

Mai Dong was leading Nian Nian. When she saw Lu Yu following behind Yun Qiao, she raised her voice and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Maidong, I want to say a few words to you."

"Maidong, you guys chat, I'm going back to the house first."

Yun Qiao went straight into the house, leaving some alone time to Maidong and Lu Yu. There were servants and Nian Nian in the yard, so she thought Lu Yu would not do anything out of line.

***

Seeing that Maidong ignored him, Lu Yu felt uncomfortable sitting on the chair.

Especially since there are several maids standing around.

"Maidong, shall we sit down and have a good chat?"

"What are you talking about? Can't you see I'm playing with the kids?"

Lu Yu glanced at the child and asked in a low voice, "She looks so strange."

"You are the weird one, your whole family is weird. My niece is the cutest and most wonderful little girl." When Mai Dong heard Lu Yu say bad things about Nian Nian, he was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Lu Yu became even more nervous, "That's not what I meant..."

"She's too quiet."

At this time, the little maid who had been taking care of Nian Nian said softly, "Master Lu, my little lady is sick, so she looks a little strange. Please don't be offended."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I said something I didn't know."

The little maid took Nian Nian aside.

Mai Dong sat down and looked at Lu Yu. "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

"I just want to explain to you that Lingxi and I are really not what you think. Besides, we are getting married soon. If the emperor hadn't passed away so quickly, we would be a real couple now."

With no one around, Lu Yu spoke much bolder.

"Keep your voice down, this is my sister-in-law's house."

They didn't know that Yun Qiao was lying in the window at this time, watching the situation outside.

I have to say, watching people fall in love is really exciting.

"Your Highness, please take it easy and don't hurt your back..."

Lily was worried because she looked a little uncomfortable in the position she was lying in. She was afraid that she might get excited and twist her waist.

Lily's mouth had been blessed by a master, right after she finished speaking, Yun Qiao saw Lu Yu grabbing Mai Dong's arm with great strength outside the window, and she also became excited.

I didn't stand still, it was really...

Hearing Yunqiao's muffled groan, Lily immediately stepped forward, "Your Highness, did you really sprain your back?"

"Hurry, hold me up, I can't bend my waist anymore."

The two people standing in the yard outside the door were still pulling each other, and Yun Qiao, who was watching the fun inside the house, really sprained her waist.

Well, she really has to lie in bed and rest these days.

There was still noise outside the door.

Maidong wanted to drive Lu Yu away and made a fuss, saying that he wanted to cancel the engagement and not marry her.

When Lu Yu heard this, he immediately became anxious.

When this woman gets angry, she is like a pig that cannot be restrained during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Yu directly grabbed Mai Dong's waist and kissed her.

"Mai Dong, I'm sincere to you. We've come to this point now, we can't just break up."

"I've already apologized to you. I'll listen to you from now on. I won't listen to her anymore. Actually, my uncle is not at home. When he comes back, I will leave the Zhao family immediately."

Mai Dong deliberately asked him, "Can you still bear to leave your grandmother?"

"I'm willing to give it up, I'm willing to give it up, the one I'm most reluctant to give up now is you."

In fact, Maidong just wanted to hear Lu Yu say something soft and conciliatory.

Hearing him say this, coupled with the kiss just now, Maidong's heart softened.

"Let me go quickly." she whispered.

Lu Yu immediately let go of Mai Dong, "You just said you wanted to cancel the engagement, you weren't serious, were you?"

"It's true." She said this deliberately.

Yun Qiao was inside the house, listening to the maid saying, "Kiss, kiss..."

"You little girl, the one you kissed was your daughter."

The maid was quite happy to see her cabbages being eaten by the pigs outside.

After being scolded by Yun Qiao, the little maidservant immediately stopped laughing.

Yun Qiao also wanted to go and see it, but her waist was not feeling well at the moment, so it was difficult for her to get up. Otherwise, she would have gotten up and gone to see it long ago.

Yun Qiao immediately asked the maid to bring two glasses of water and send them over.

Maidong and Lu Yu avoided mentioning their identities and sat obediently on the chairs.

Lu Yu nervously picked up the teacup and drank the water, and almost got scalded.

This again caused the little maid to cover her mouth and laugh.

"Mr. Lu, drink slowly and don't be in a hurry. My wife said that this tea is a little hot."

Lu Yu's face suddenly turned red.

After the tea-serving maid left, Mai Dong glared at Lu Yu fiercely, "It's all your fault. My sister-in-law must have seen you doing that just now."

"I, I'm anxious too."

"I won't do that next time."

"Maidong, can we get married first? I..."

He really couldn't wait any longer.

Mai Dong said, "How can you and I get married at peace when Jiangcheng is flooded right now? Your uncle has gone to Jiangcheng, my brother has gone to Jiangcheng, and so have my second brother and his wife. No matter how simple our wedding is, we still need relatives like them to attend, right?"

"Okay, we'll get married as soon as the flood in Jiangcheng is resolved."

He didn't want to wait any longer.

He was also afraid that if he waited any longer, his marriage would fall through.

Lu Yu did not dare to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for too long and went back before lunch started. However, before returning to the Zhao family, he bought some food outside and sent someone to deliver it to the door of the Marquis' Mansion, saying that it was sent by Lu Lang to the young lady. He also bought some for the children in the family.

The food outside is not expensive, and Yunqiao doesn't restrict the children from eating snacks.

They eat a lot, but they are children after all, so they still like to eat snacks when they see them.

Yunqiao also got a portion of fried chicken.

"This fried chicken tastes pretty good. Where did you buy it?"

Yunqiao ate two pieces and found it really tasted like the fried chicken from a modern hamburger restaurant. She quite liked it.

"This time it was bought by Master Lu. Last time I went out shopping, I saw a shop called Xiaomo Fried Chicken. It seemed to be newly opened and there were quite a lot of people. I thought it was this shop."

Xiaomo fried chicken?

Could it be the fried chicken shop opened by Su Mo?

It's not impossible.

Su Mo, a modern person, says she wants to be low-key, but deep down she still wants to be flamboyant. It's good that she can open this fried chicken shop, at least she can eat delicious fried chicken.

If Su Mo could develop a hamburger, she would like it even more.
