Chapter 341 Seeing Him for the Last Time
After Zhou finished her hot spring bath, she discovered that Shen Huazheng and the other two were gone.
She picked up the teacup and asked the steward beside her.
"Where are the county lady and the others?"
The steward was waiting on the side: "Madam, the county lady and her friends have gone to the kitchen. They said they wanted to make some new and exotic food for you to try."
He paused and added, "The county lady said that Madam will know it during lunch."
Zhou paused slightly while drinking tea and couldn't help but smile.
And it's so mysterious.
These girls always like to stay together and tinker with food.
As long as they can have fun.
Zhou took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I see, you can go ahead and do your work."
She knew that the steward had to take care of many things in the manor and there was no need for him to stay with her all the time.
"Yes, ma'am."
The steward responded and left.
Zhou put down the teacup, picked up a piece of sesame and walnut cake and took a bite.
What new and strange foods can Zheng'er make?
There are all kinds of food in this farm, including various fruits and vegetables, as well as various flowers and trees.
Thinking that her daughter seemed to like adding flowers and fruits to cooking, Zhou couldn't help but feel moved.
Today’s lunch could be related to plum blossoms.

Mingguogongfu
Fang Qingyu was looking at the letter in her hand, which was sent by her cousin from Jiangnan.
Not long after Fang Qingyu and her mother Wei returned to their maternal grandparents' home, they learned that the Wei family was planning to set up a girls' school in the clan.
The Wei family already had a clan school, but it only provided schooling for eligible males in the clan.
For some unknown reason, the patriarch of the Wei family, Fang Qingyu's grandfather, and several elders suddenly proposed to set up another girls' school.
Let all girls of school age in the tribe go to school.
Fang Qingyu thought it was a good thing for girls to be able to read and write, and believed that the decision made by her grandfather and the elders was correct.
This time her cousin wrote to inform her that the girls' school was almost complete.
Fang Qingyu put down the letter in her hand and looked at the maid beside her.
"That's great! Haitang, my cousin said that the girls' school is almost ready. When spring comes, the sisters in the clan can go to school."
Haitang also had a happy look on her face: "This is a good thing. The girl has been thinking about this since she came back."
Fang Qingyu: "I remember packing a few boxes of books and putting them in the West Pavilion a few days ago. You can go there with me later."
The Wei family wanted to set up a girls' school, and she also wanted to contribute.
Although I can't do anything else, I can still organize some suitable books and send them to Jiangnan.
"Yes, girl."
Fang Qingyu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stood up.
"Forget it, go now."
At this moment, another maid walked in at the door——
"Miss, the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion has sent us plum blossoms again."
Hearing this, a look of disgust flashed across Haitang's eyes.
This Chen Lin is so disgusting. It was obviously him who insisted on getting entangled with Jiang Yirou, and it was also he who betrayed their girl.
It had been agreed at the beginning that the marriage contract between the two families was annulled.
In the future, whether men or women get married will have nothing to do with each other.
But ever since the lady and the young lady came back from Jiangnan, Chen Lin had sent people to deliver plum blossoms every day.
Now that things have gotten to this point, I don’t know who I’m doing this for.
Fang Qingyu's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned: "Didn't I tell you? Just throw it away, no need to report it."
The maid hesitated: "Miss, this time it's not just Plum Blossom. Ningyang Marquis's son is here too. He has been begging outside the mansion. He also said..."
Fang Qingyu: "What?"
"He said that he only wanted the girl to see him once. Just this one time, and he would not bother her again in the future."
Fang Qingyu understood what was going on, and she was determined to break off the engagement and not give him any chance at all.
Chen Lin was probably unwilling to accept this, so he came here to ask her for an explanation.
"What did parents say?"
"The Duke and his wife said that everything depends on the girl's wishes. If the girl doesn't want to see it, then don't bother."
Fang Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Go tell Dad that I want to see Chen Lin."
The maid's face lit up: "Yes, I'll go right away."
After saying this, she left in a hurry.
Haitang looked at the maid walking further and further away and spoke carefully.
"Girl, if you don't want to..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Fang Qingyu——
"If I don't go, Dad will be in trouble."
If Duke Ming really didn't want Fang Qingyu to meet Chen Lin, this news would not have reached her.
They said she was allowed to choose, but in fact she had no choice at all.
No matter what Fang Qingyu thought, she could only go to see Chen Lin now.
Haitang felt sorry for Fang Qingyu: "Miss..."
Fang Qingyu smiled at her and said, "I'm fine. Daddy also has his own difficulties."
In fact, Fang Qingyu could understand it. Even if Chen Lin's incident was ridiculous, the Chen family still had a concubine in the palace.
Furthermore, Chen Lin is currently the eldest son of the Ningyang Marquisate.
Ningyang Hou also held an official position in the court.
No matter what, things can't be done too extreme.
Fang Qingyu was already very grateful when Duke Ming agreed to let her break off the engagement.
At least, her parents are not the kind of people who would push their daughter into the fire pit for their own selfish reasons.
Just think of it as the last time I see him.
He is always unwilling to not see him.
After today, Chen Lin will no longer have any reason to harass her.
