Chapter 26 It's not good, don't look at it
Yuan Wanru didn't want to be caught between the male and female protagonists, so she suggested taking her sisters and Cao Lanxin and the others with her.
So, the person who had a headache became Lu Jiangnian.
Originally, he only needed to bring one, but the thought of bringing so many girls together made it noisy.
Wang Min invited Liang Yusong to have dinner, but Liang Yusong did not stay long and left Wangchun Hall first.
During the meal, Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian sat on Wang Min's left and right.
The Lu family is not a noble family, and there are only three of them at the moment, so naturally there is no need to be so particular.
Wang Min picked up a piece of braised pork for Yuan Wanru: "This is the braised pork I specially asked the kitchen to make. Eat more."
The braised pork is a mixture of fat and lean meat, and is made from top-quality pork belly. It is stewed until it is crystal clear and elastic, and you can't help drooling just by looking at it.
Yuan Wanru took a bite and the aroma of meat instantly filled her mouth, mixed with the sweetness of rock sugar. It was not dry or greasy, but soft and delicious. She ate a large piece in one go.
Then, she was still not satisfied, so she picked up her chopsticks and took another piece.
After finishing eating, she couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and eat another piece.
After eating several pieces in a row, she still felt it was not enough, but she couldn't eat it alone.
There were only four pieces left on the porcelain plate. She couldn't eat them all.
So, she could only regretfully look away and pick up other dishes, but her eyes would still fall on the dish of braised pork from time to time.
If they don't eat it later, she might as well eat it to avoid waste.
So, she deliberately left some food in her belly, waiting for the meal to be cleared.
How could Wang Min not see her eager eyes? It was rare for this child to be so greedy.
"Eat if you want. I'm old and I don't like these."
Yuan Wanru's eyes lit up, and her smile was sweeter than honey: "In that case, I won't be polite. Such delicious braised pork cannot be wasted."
However, someone was quicker than her. There were four pieces of braised pork left, but Lu Jiangnian picked up three of them at once, leaving only one piece.
She looked over with wide eyes: "You..."
He said calmly, "It tastes good, perfect with rice."
What to do? They were so grown up, they couldn’t fight over food. She quickly took action and put the last piece into her bowl.
Wang Min looked at Lu Jiangnian in surprise. She had never seen her son fight with others for food since he was a child. This...
She exchanged a glance with Aunt Gui, who was serving beside her, her eyes full of amusement.
After getting married, Lu Jiangnian, who had been steady since childhood, also showed some childish behavior.

When we returned from Wangchun Hall, it was gradually getting dark.
Yuan Wanru was very satisfied with the meal and felt her stomach was much rounder.
The chef in Wangchuntang's small kitchen is really good at cooking. Every dish he cooks is very appetizing. She will come again to eat if she has the chance next time.
This body is not even sixteen yet and is still growing. I eat a lot and get hungry quickly, but I am not afraid of getting fat.
She is a doctor, so of course she knows that the human body's functions will degenerate at a certain age, and the energy needed will not be as much. If you eat too much and cannot digest it, you will get sick.
When you are young and beautiful, it would be a waste of time if you don’t eat more delicious food.
Lu Jiangnian was walking beside her and accidentally glanced at her, and the familiar irritation rose in his heart again.
"Don't wear this dress anymore."
Yuan Wanru's eyes were sparkling, and they stood out in the dim night. She said in dissatisfaction, "Why?"
He snorted, "It doesn't fit. It's ugly."
"you……"
Yuan Wanru sneered: "Ugly?"
"I don't know who it was just now, but he was staring at me so intently that I felt embarrassed."
"Now, you're embarrassed to say it's ugly."
Lu Jiangnian retorted: "When did I not take my eyes off you? I just wanted to remind you that this dress is inappropriate."
Yuan Wanru raised her eyebrows and smiled a little devilishly in the night: "Husband, is it really ugly?"
The dress Cao Lanxin was wearing was of fine texture and exquisite embroidery with a peony pattern. Apart from being a little tight, Yuan Wanru thought it looked pretty good.
"Look carefully, the peony on the chest is so beautifully embroidered. The material is fine gold-woven silk, and it is very comfortable to wear."
"My husband, I think it looks pretty good."
The voice is pleasant, gentle and charming.
She took two steps forward and deliberately straightened her chest to make the already high bulge even more magnificent.
How could Lu Jiangnian have the nerve to watch?
He turned sideways, avoiding her, his eyes wandering, and scolded: "Behave yourself, we are outside."
She smiled bewitchingly: "My husband, do you mean that I can be unruly in the house?"
His ears were red as if they were about to bleed, and he didn't know how to respond.
Yuan Wanru stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Do you think it really doesn't look good?"
Lu Jiangnian took a deep breath, opened his eyes and looked at her. Just as he was about to say something, she had already put away the ambiguous smile on her face and said with a straight face: "If you don't think it's beautiful, don't look at it in the future."
"Next time, I'll wear it for someone who can appreciate it."
What girl doesn’t love beauty? Who wouldn’t like to hear others say that she is not good-looking?
"Your taste is nothing special. I really don't care about you."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked past him towards the front.
Lu Jiangnian almost reached out and grabbed her hand, asking: Who else do you want to wear this for?
She was unhappy, but he was even more unhappy!
Is the mansion short of money?
Are you short of fabric?
Instead of wearing this one, she could make new clothes. When she went to the study to find him, the blue dress she was wearing would look pretty good, wouldn't it?
She doesn't care about him seeing it, who else does she want to show it to!
She can forget about wearing that dress again.
Lu Jiangnian frowned and looked at the empty night sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yuan Wanru originally thought that Cao Lanxin and the others would not make a fuss until at least tomorrow, but she never expected that not long after dinner, she heard that a thief was being caught in Rongshou Hall.
Liu Yan helped her to wring out her hair and gave her a lilac colored skirt to change into.
"You're still making trouble so late. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep early tonight."
"The eldest son and his wife have to go to Xiangyuan Temple tomorrow. If you don't sleep well at night, you won't have energy tomorrow."
"Why can't they just be quiet for a while!"
Yuan Wanru sat in front of the dressing table and picked out a simple silver hairpin to put on: "I'm afraid you don't want me to go out tomorrow, so you can't wait any longer and want to catch the thief."
"Let's make a fuss. We won't leave until after noon tomorrow anyway. We can get up a little later in the morning. It won't delay anything."
Since I was planning to go to the night market, I didn’t have to rush to Xiangyuan Temple too early.
"Make me a pot of tea. I don't know when they will come. I can't just sit there and wait."
She picked up a book, sat on the couch, and prepared to read to pass the time.
Liuzhi and Liuyan were doing needlework beside her to keep her company. For a moment, the room was silent.
Soon, someone came to break the silence: "Madam, someone from Rongshou Hall is here, please come over."
Madam Pang came in and said, "I won't tell you what it is, I just want you to come over and ask a question."
Of course she knew the Cao sisters' plan, but she still had to inquire and pretend.
"It's okay. I'll be back soon. You and Liuzhi keep an eye on it."
Until now, she has never found the traitor around her in the Wangzhu Lake incident.
When something happens, it is also a test of people's hearts. She had already instructed Madam Pang and Liuzhi to pay attention to the movements of people around them, hoping to find some clues.
Liu Yan held a lantern and walked slowly towards the gate of Lingshuiju with Yuan Wanru.
Unexpectedly, I saw Lu Jiangnian under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
He looked at her quietly: "Do you want me to go with you?"
He heard the noise of someone coming to Rongshou Hall just now, and he guessed what it was about.
The Cao sisters are really clueless.
Yuan Wanru shook her head: "No need, I can handle it myself, and the stolen goods are not in my hands, so who can do anything to me?"
Thinking of something, she smiled mischievously: "Maybe I will receive another apology from the old lady tonight."
Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and wanted to laugh. If this was the case, he was afraid that his grandmother would be sick again tomorrow.
"Be gentle. Something important will happen in the mansion in two days. Grandmother can't get sick again."
She looked at him puzzledly, wondering what big thing might have happened in the mansion, but saw that he had turned around and went back.
