“I saw them all in the book collection.”
"Which book is it?" Feng Jinyu asked casually while sipping the egg tart.
Xiao Lingyu was speechless for a moment. Would he discover her abnormality?
Xiao Lingyu was speechless for only a moment before he had already thought of an excuse. "I don't remember. I read too many different books."
Most of the original owner's collection of books were given to him by Feng Jinyu.
A small part of it is the book collection in the original owner's mother's dowry.
The second is that the original owner’s grandfather collected it from the people for the original owner.
Most of the books collected by the original owner's grandfather were given to Feng Jinyu by the original owner.
After Xiao Lingyu finished speaking, he looked at Feng Jinyu calmly.
Feng Jinyu didn't seem to notice anything wrong and said, "It doesn't matter if I read a lot of different books. As long as I can make sweet, crispy and soft egg tarts, my book collection is worthwhile... Then how do you make the birthday cake?"
Seeing that he had no doubts, Xiao Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's try making the birthday cake now. Jinyu, you're not in good health and can't stand for long. I'll send the cake to your room when it's ready so you can try it."
Xiao Lingyu sent Feng Jinyu and his servant away and handed the egg brush to Su Xingyi.
Looking at the red and swollen corners of his lips, he smiled and said, "Okay, since the boss is not here, you have to do the hard work."
"Okay, but there aren't many egg tarts left, so the eldest and third sons didn't get to eat any."
Xiao Xier, upon hearing this, Su Ningjie quickly put the egg tart he had just picked up back into the small bowl.
"Mom, there are four left. Big brother and third brother can eat two each." Xiao Xier said while smacking her lips.
I want to cry, she hasn’t eaten enough!
Su Ningjie looked at the egg tarts with greedy eyes: "Two should be enough for my third brother, but it may not be enough for my eldest brother."
Seeing the two little ones still looking unsatisfied, Xiao Lingyu said, "You guys should eat them all. I'll make two more batches of egg tarts before we return to the village."
As soon as the words fell.
The two little ones stretched out their claws and quickly divided the four egg tarts.
Since there was no butter, Xiao Lingyu used lard instead.
Following Xiao Lingyu's instructions, Su Xingyi placed the pure white lard, eggs, sugar, and milk into a bowl, and used an egg brush to beat them to make butter...
Seeing that his parents were busy making a cake, Su Ningjie took Xiao Xier to the yard.
Wei Ying approached and said, "Young Master, the housekeeper just reported that the masters of the second, third, and fourth houses, as well as Young Master Gan and Young Master Kun, will arrive at the Lu Mansion's villa by water before noon. The master requires you to return to the mansion for lunch at noon."
Su Ningjie lowered her curled eyelashes and said calmly, "I understand. I will go back for lunch at noon."
Xiao Xier was very puzzled when she saw this. Her second brother was going to see more family members today, so he must be looking forward to it, nervous and excited.
Why is he so indifferent at this moment?
＊
On the Lu family merchant ship.
Lu Zexu, the third master of the Lu family, had his eyelids twitching. "Second brother, fourth brother, when we get close to the dock, hold on to your purses and the large boxes where you keep your gold and silver jewelry."
Lu Zexu intuitively felt that if they didn't lose money today, then something big would be waiting for them.
At this time, the master of the second and fourth rooms looked a little flustered, with sorrow in their eyes.
How should they face their father today?
If my daughter-in-law persecutes my elder sister-in-law, can this family still live under the same roof?
What they are most worried about is that the old man will ask them to split up the family business, as life will be difficult if the family is divided!
The two of them shared their concerns with Lu Zexu.
"Second brother, you must persuade our father."
Lu Zeyu echoed: "Yes, second brother."
Lu Zexu pressed his right eyelid, which was throbbing violently, and said:
"I don't want to either, but it all depends on Yuan'er's opinion. What's the difference between Yuan'er and Yao'er living in Xishui County all these years and splitting up the family? Now that this has happened, our relationship as uncle and nephew is no longer the same."
After Lu Zexu finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the two brothers Lu Hangan and Lu Hankun who were sitting back to back on the deck.
He no longer sees the bright smiles on the faces of the two brothers.
What a sin!
The careers of both of them were ruined.
"Brother, do you think Sister Yao'er's madness has improved?"
Lu Han was silent for a moment before saying, "I actually hope she gets better. I also hope she doesn't remember what happened on the day of my aunt's difficult labor."
Lu Han was very conflicted. He hoped that Lu Yao's madness would get better.
But, I don't want her to remember what happened back then.
The two brothers had already lost the favor of their eldest sister and didn't want to lose their only cousin...
He was feeling a little annoyed at the moment, as their relationship with the eldest sisters was no longer what it used to be.
At the end of the Si hour, the group arrived at the Lu Mansion Villa.
"Three masters, two young masters, you are finally here. The head of the family is waiting for you. Please come in." Zhou Tong respectfully welcomed them into the yard.
Chen arrived late and exchanged a few polite words with Lu Zeyi and others, then took her man to Fanghua Garden.
"Ah Xu, I already know what my second sister-in-law and fourth brother's wife did."
Lu Zexu hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly, has Yao'er's madness been cured? Can Yuan'er still have her own child?"
Chen smiled and said, "Yuan'er will not only be able to get pregnant in the future, but Yao'er will also get married. I will also take good care of Yao'er. After all the hardships over the years, she will definitely be spoiled by her husband."
This is the only happy thing that Lu Zexu has heard in the past few days.
"That's good, that's good. Big brother and sister-in-law also hope that the two sisters will live happily. Alas, what a pity..."
“Hmm…”
Chen quickly reached out and covered his mouth with her hand. "Don't sigh for now. There's one piece of good news I haven't told you yet."
"Then tell me quickly." Lu Zexu was anxious, "What kind of happy event is it? Let me be happy."
