After the cooking competition, the Ye family was all excited.
As soon as he left the yamen, Qingtian started asking to be held by Mrs. Ye.
As soon as Mrs. Ye picked her up, she was kissed hard by her.
"Mom, you're amazing! Everyone who tasted the food just now said you cook better than Chef Qian!"
Mrs. Ye quickly asked her to keep her voice down, as there were so many people around and it would be bad if someone heard them.
After the Ye family came out, Miss Zhou quickly followed the crowd out.
Mrs. Ye immediately went up to talk to her.
"I didn't expect you to come over tonight."
"I wanted to see Madam You cook, so I came here." Madam Zhou said this, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at Ye Laosi who was standing behind her.
Mrs. Ye was an experienced person, so how could she not see through her little thoughts? She thought to herself, it seems that the fourth brother is not too one-sided!
"Then you haven't had dinner yet? We are about to go out for dinner, why don't you join us?" Mrs. Ye invited directly.
Miss Zhou was a little tempted, but Qiuyun beside her politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss You, but it's so late now, my daughter has to go back quickly."
Mrs. Ye had no choice but to ask the girl where she lived, as she was too embarrassed to ask, "Well, I live in Rongxi Village. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."
Miss Zhou had come out secretly to participate in the cooking competition, and she didn't dare to tell anyone where she lived. She could only memorize the Ye family's address, said goodbye to the Ye family, and left with Qiuyun.
Third Sister-in-law Ye immediately came over and whispered to Sister-in-law Ye, "Sister-in-law, why do I feel that Miss Zhou is not completely uninterested in our Fourth Son?"
"What's the point of her being interesting? Will her parents agree?
"Don't be fooled by her unassuming attire; she's just being low-key in order to participate in the cooking competition.
"Didn't you see that her personal maids were dressed better than us?
"Unless the fourth child can make a name for himself in the future, forget about this marriage."
"Ah, that's true." Sister-in-law Ye also said, "This is not a good match. Even if it really happens, it will be difficult to get along in the future.
"We should find someone with a similar family background to ours who can live a down-to-earth life."
After having dinner outside, everyone went back to Wang's house to stay for one night, and hurried back to the village early the next morning.
Lin Yumei wanted to persuade him to stay, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just stay for two more days!"
"It would be nice if we could go to the capital together to buy some New Year's goods, and then you can go home!"
"We originally planned to go home after the competition tomorrow, but we've already disturbed you for another night.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, but I haven't prepared anything at home yet. I have a lot of things to do!
"Besides, your eldest brother became a tiger-killing hero, and the imperial court is going to send someone to commend him. This is going to happen a few days before the New Year, so we need someone at home to do it."
Lin Yumei looked envious when she heard this.
"Madam You, you are so lucky. Not only do you have a skill, but your husband is also so capable, and your child is so well-behaved. I can't envy you enough."
Wang Ge Niang, who was listening to this, added, "Yes, if you try harder and give birth to a son, it would be perfect."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yumei quickly winked at her mother-in-law, asking her not to talk nonsense, and then looked at Mrs. Ye with an apologetic look.
Mrs. Ye has no plans to have another child, but she also knows what others will think and say.
There was no malicious intent in Wang Ge Niang's words, so she naturally wouldn't take it to heart.
Fortunately, Qingtian is still in the house and hasn't come out yet. As long as the children don't feel uncomfortable after hearing it, it's fine.
Mrs. Ye said directly to Wang Ge Niang, "Auntie, I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid I won't be able to have children in the future."
"Is that so..." Wang Ge'niang looked regretful when she heard this, but this was someone else's business and had nothing to do with her.
Originally, she was quite envious of the Ye family, but now when she heard this, she suddenly felt that her own family was better, at least she had all her grandchildren.
After the Ye family packed up their mule cart and said goodbye to the Wang family, they went to the street to have breakfast and then left the city to go home.
Soon after he got on the official road, he was caught up by several horsemen behind him.
"Brother Ye, where are you going? Is it on the same route for us?" The leader caught up on horseback and joked with Boss Ye.
Boss Ye turned his head and saw that it was not a stranger, but Mu Zheng again.
"Well, I calculated with my fingers, we should be on the same way!" Boss Ye also joked with him.
Mu Zheng laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then asked, "The cooking competition is over, right? Sister Ye should be fine, right?"
"I thought you had already gone home yesterday, so you left the city early this morning to rush here!"
"It's over, but it ended very late yesterday, so we stayed an extra night." Ye Laodao said, "Your sister-in-law naturally won, but it was a difficult victory."
"Ah?" Mu Zheng asked in confusion, "Isn't there Master Cen here? And my sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good. Could it be that this small Fengle County is actually full of hidden talents?"
Since there was nothing to do while traveling, Boss Ye told Mu Zheng everything that happened in the cooking competition over the past two days.
"Xu Lei and Zhang Chuanlu, we shouldn't have let them go last time!"
But Mu Zheng had been working as a civil servant for several years after all, and after a little thought, he realized the problem.
Zhang Chuanlu was arrested after the second competition. His crime was that he tampered with the seasoning but did not mention the dry firewood.
So who was the person who tampered with Ye Dasao's firewood?
