Suddenly, two men came up and captured Gu Yanyue. Gu Yanyue did not resist, and said with a frustrated look on her face: "Sister, I know I was wrong. I thought you were so gentle and would not be angry."
The madam didn't quite understand her, but she was still angry. She had been so docile before and she thought he was very obedient, but he ended up running away halfway. How could she not be angry?
"What's there to be angry about? How can I not be angry if you run away?"
Gu Yanyue instantly became an actor, tears welled up in her eyes, and she started crying: "I-I think my sister is so beautiful. Staying with her is like a withered flower. It's really shameless. I don't want to live like this. I wish I could leave here. I really can't stand being overshadowed by her beauty. I'm going to collapse if this continues."
The madam felt happy when she heard this. It was the first time in her life that someone praised her like this. She was praised to the skies.
Moreover, Gu Yanyue's sincere expression, with tears coming out, did not look fake at all. Could it be that I was really as beautiful as she said, so beautiful that it made people collapse?
"Besides, when I saw Sister's smiling face earlier, I thought she was a very gentle person. Someone so gentle must be a fairy, right? So I thought Sister wouldn't be angry if I left. After all, Sister can support the entire brothel by herself, so losing a little girl like me is no big deal. But I didn't expect Sister to be angry... Oh, oh, oh, if I had known Sister would be angry, I wouldn't have run around."
When the madam heard this, she thought, "Did I meet a little fan girl?" Her expression changed immediately, and she smiled brightly: "Ah, why would I be angry? I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid something might happen to you. You shouldn't blame me..."
"How could I blame my sister? I'm just afraid that my sister will blame me. Oh, it hurts so much..." Gu Yanyue looked at the man who was holding her hand and showed a tearful expression.
"Can't you be a little more gentle with us? You've hurt the little girl, why don't you let her go?" As the madam said this, the men let go.
"But your sister is still a little angry about you running away without permission, so you still have to be punished. These are the rules of the brothel. Although I like you very much, I can't be partial to you." The madam said with a smile on her face.
"Well, let me accept the punishment together with Sister Yueyue." Qin Ruoruo stood up timidly.
Gu Yanyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Qin Ruoruo was so loyal and righteous. Even when she was about to be punished, she stood up to stand with her. Gu Yanyue was really moved.
But there is still punishment, and now one more person is going to suffer, which is really not a wise move!
Although she didn't know what the punishment was, Gu Yanyue didn't want to be punished. She thought for a moment and remembered that a cook in this brothel had died in the riot, and she could cook. How could she give up this good opportunity to "take credit"?
So, as Gu Yanyue was walking, she turned around lightly, like a little elf, and then said with a playful smile: "Sister, I can actually cook. My mother taught me since I was a child that to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach. My cooking skills are quite good. I want to cook a few dishes for you to try. I wonder if you are willing to give me this opportunity. If you think it tastes good, please don't punish us. Right now, we just want to stay by your side and live a comfortable life. We don't want to suffer anymore."
Speaking of cooking, the madam remembered that a cook died during the war in the brothel, and now they are short of people, so why not let this little girl try.
"Can you really cook?" asked the madam.
Gu Yanyue held her head high and chest puffed out, looking at her confidently and said, "Of course, I've been cooking since I was a child, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the food!"
The madam became interested after hearing her say this. This little girl was smart, but also sharp-tongued. She really didn't know if she was pretending or was really that naive. It would be better to be careful for now.
Qin Ruoruo, who was watching all this, really admired Gu Yanyue in her heart. How could she talk to the madam as if she was talking to her own family? This was too amazing!
So, Gu Yanyue temporarily got the identity of a cook, but the madam was still wary of her and actually stood aside and watched her cook.
But I still have to drug her. Even if your madam is watching me, what can I do? You can't understand my methods!
Gu Yanyue was full of confidence and cooked several dishes at once. Her smooth movements impressed the madam instantly. Her movements were even more skillful than the previous chef's.
Soon, waves of mouth-watering aroma wafted in the air, but Gu Yanyue deliberately made this dish a little drier, leaving some defects in the taste.
After it was done, Gu Yanyue picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste it, savoring it carefully: "Hmm... It still lacks some texture, a little dry, it will be better if I add a little more soup."
Then he presented the dish to the madam: "Sister, you can try it too. I think it's a bit dry and the taste is not subtle enough. I wonder what you think."
The madam saw that Gu Yanyue had tasted the dish herself, so it was definitely not drugged. Moreover, since she was watching it the whole time, she had no chance to do so.
So, the madam took a piece and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. The delicious taste instantly exploded in her mouth. She felt as if she had reached the pinnacle of her life...
"This, this, this is so delicious!" the madam said excitedly and took several bites at once.
"Really? But there are still some defects in the taste. It's not delicious enough." Gu Yanyue said, and walked naturally to the pot of soup. He swept his hands over it, and the medicinal powder was sprinkled in. Then he picked up the big spoon beside him, giving people the illusion that he was just holding a spoon.
Then, Gu Yanyue used a spoon to sprinkle the drugged soup on each dish.
"After adding some soup, the taste is perfect. Come and try it! If you have any comments, just tell me. I will definitely work hard to change and do better and better!" Gu Yanyue tilted her head and smiled innocently.
The madam now thought she was a godly chef, and the servants also tasted these dishes and praised them highly.
"Little girl, you really impressed your sister!" said the madam, tasting the dish soaked in soup. She could not find any fault with it to begin with, but now she realized that it was indeed a little dry when no soup was added.
"one two three."
After Gu Yanyue counted to three, everyone fell down one after another, and only Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo were left standing in the kitchen.
