"Oh dear, the kitchen is on fire! We can't have lunch today."
After putting out the fire, the maids chased after the culprit, 'Tianfeng'.
Tianfeng ran around wildly, making a racket, and smashed all the flowers and plants in the yard to pieces.
Upon seeing this, Xie Shuning immediately called out to the maids who were catching the bird, "Stop chasing it, or the whole mansion will be in disarray."
After hearing this, the maid noticed the messy ground behind her.
One by one, they were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground with a thud, "Madam, this servant did not mean to."
"But this bird can breathe fire, so we're thinking of catching it to prevent it from burning other places."
"Yes, yes, Madam, we servants..."
"Alright, get up, everyone." Xie Shuning followed Li Xinghe, looking disheveled, and led Lin Wanwan back to the front hall.
When the group saw what the three looked like, they were shocked.
The old lady stood up excitedly, "What happened to you? Why are you all covered in dust?"
Xie Shuning felt extremely frightened when she thought about what had just happened.
She carried Lin Wanwan back to Ye Lanyin, not daring to hug her again.
"Mom, we almost died!" Lin Wanwan immediately complained to Ye Lanyin.
Ye Lanyin turned pale with fright. "How could you almost die? Are you hurt anywhere?" Ye Lanyin grabbed Lin Wanwan and prepared to check her body.
Xie Shuning explained with a smile, "Lanyin, actually the kitchen burned down, so we probably won't be able to have lunch today."
Ye Lanyin looked at Lin Wanwan incredulously, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
[Hehe, Tianfeng said she'd help the maid start a fire.]
[Who knew that using too much force would burn the house down...]
Ye Lanyin turned to look at her two sisters-in-law, whose faces were covered in soot from the fire, and was shocked.
"Lanyin, it's not Wanwan's fault. That bird somehow knocked over the firewood, and the kitchen caught fire immediately."
"The maids were trying to catch it, but the bird seemed to have a mind of its own and it shattered all the flower beds in the yard."
Madam Ye and General Ye were dumbfounded after hearing this.
How could a bird cause such a commotion?
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't discipline Wanwan well, and she caused trouble."
Lin Wanwan bit her lip, feeling extremely wronged. She lay on Ye Wennan's body and suddenly burst into tears, causing everyone present to scramble to catch their breath.
[Waaaaah, it wasn't me.]
[The nest was abandoned by it.]
"Waaah, I'll stew it when I get back, and it'll never appear in front of you again."
"I...I'll stew it!" she cried, pointing at the phoenix hiding on a distant branch. "You guys eat it!"
Tianfeng was taken aback from a distance.
'Stew me?'
'That won't do.'
In its haste, it flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
'Only a fool would wait to have it cooked for you.'
Lin Wanwan pouted, cursing inwardly.
Go, and it's best you don't come back!
【You've completely disgraced me, your ancestor!】
"Waaah..." Lin Wanwan cried out as loudly as possible, peeking out one eye to look at her mother, "Mom, I let it go, don't blame me..."
Old Madam Ye felt extremely sorry for Lin Wanwan's pitiful appearance.
She took Lin Wanwan from Ye Wennan's arms and coaxed her, "Oh, Wanwan, don't cry. Grandma is here. Grandma doesn't blame you, doesn't blame you."
"It's just a kitchen fire, right? It's no big deal. We can have someone clean it up and buy some new kitchen utensils."
"We'll order food from Hongxinglou later. Tell your grandma what you like to eat, and she'll buy it for you, okay?"
Hongxinglou?
Lin Wanwan stopped crying instantly.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Lanyin.
Grandma Ye gently turned her head and said, "Don't worry, with your grandmother here, I'll protect you. Just tell me what you want to eat!"
"Your maternal grandmother will have someone make them all for you."
Hearing that someone was protecting her, Lin Wanwan spoke up without any hesitation.
"Meat,...meat...meat..."
Everyone pricked up their ears, looking on with suspicion. "Meat?"
Braised chicken, duck, goose, big fish, small fish, pork knuckle... bring us a plate of everything!
[After that, we'll have dessert: milk, melon seeds, and grapes.]
Oh, right, while you're at it, stew the Heavenly Phoenix...
Madam Ye was flustered and confused upon hearing this; she dared not do any of the things mentioned.
What will you return in the end?
Eat the Heavenly Phoenix?
Is it that bird that flew away?
The old lady chuckled awkwardly a few times, "Hehe, Wanwan, Grandma will order baby food for you, don't worry, it's all meat."
As she spoke, she pointed to one of the maids beside her.
"Send a few people to Hongxinglou to order food. Remember, order a baby meal for Wanwan, understand?"
"I want meat, I want meat, did you hear me?"
The maid understood immediately and said with a smile, "Reporting to Madam, I understand. I will go right away."
Lin Wanwan waved to the maid with a smile.
"Get angry quickly."
I'm hungry!
I'm so lucky! My family is wealthy, and I'm wealthy too. I'm the happiest little girl in the world!
Soon, Hongxinglou delivered the food.
Everyone sat at the dining table waiting for the waiters from Hongxinglou to serve the meal, while Lin Wanwan stood on a chair, craning her neck to stare at the food in the waiter's hands.
"What the hell?"
The waiter had never seen such an adorable child before, and couldn't help but take a second look.
"Little girl, you'll have yours soon. Your family specifically instructed us to do this."
