Chapter 57: Follow Me to Deliver Meals
Wei San leaned forward suddenly, and the colander slammed to the ground. He grabbed Chef Su's collar with his palm as big as a palm fan, with infinite strength.
His beard nearly touched Chef Su's nose, and his tense face instantly revealed a murderous aura only found on the battlefield. "The new chestnuts are clearly in the kitchen storeroom, and you idiot are lying with your eyes open!"
"You dare to hide the food my master wants to eat?!"
Before he could finish his words, Wei San flew into a rage and punched him.
"Ouch!" Chef Su screamed like a pig being slaughtered, kicking his feet off the ground. His butt was hit against the stove by the punch.
The copper pot clanged loudly, and a few drops of boiling water splashed out, scalding him and making him scream even more miserably.
"This is a rebellion! How dare you, a handyman, attack me! Someone, come here—"
Wei San turned a deaf ear to him, strode forward, grabbed Chef Su's neck, and lifted him up again viciously.
Chef Su's shouting suddenly stopped, his face flushed purple, and he stared in horror, "You, what do you want to do? You'll be kicked out of the house if you cause trouble without reason!"
Liang Weiyuan frowned and looked at Wei San's bulging veins, noticing that his handshake gesture was extremely professional, which was exactly the method used in the army to defeat the enemy.
With such skills and the fact that he stood up for the eldest wife, could it be that he was once Huo Jinjian's subordinate?
"stop."
Liang Weiyuan's voice was neither too loud nor too low, scolding Wei San, causing him to freeze suddenly.
The big man let go of his hand, and the old scar on his left eye twitched: "Madam, this dog slave..."
"The kitchen is a restricted area, no fighting allowed."
Liang Weiyuan kicked the colander on the ground in front of Chef Su, who looked ashen. "This time, Wei San taught you a lesson. Just take it as a warning. If you shirk responsibility and deceive the mistress again, I will not forgive you lightly."
"Go and bring the new chestnuts here now. This lady will personally watch over them."
Wei San was the first to injure someone, so regardless of whether he was justified or not, if there is to be punishment, both of them should be punished together.
Liang Weiyuan didn't know Wei San's identity, but seeing how enthusiastic this man was for Huo Jin, she decided to make a small matter out of a big deal to avoid hurting her own people.
Chef Su also realized this and didn't dare to say anything bad about Wei San anymore. He ran towards the warehouse as fast as he could.
Wei Sande stood there like a wooden stake. When he saw Liang Weiyuan looking at him, he scratched his head and looked at a loss for a moment.
"Your name is Wei San."
"Yes!" The big man's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up straight, the wooden spoon hanging on his waist clanging loudly. "Madam, I used to work for the eldest young master!"
His eyes were determined and bright, and he was nervous but expectant about Liang Weiyuan's question.
Liang Weiyuan had expected this and nodded in understanding. She looked at him and asked, "Since you are the eldest son's man, why did you end up doing odd jobs in the kitchen?"
Wei San's face turned red instantly, like a pig's liver that had been burned by fire.
He suddenly fell to his knees, his forehead hitting the bluestone slab heavily, making a dull sound.
"It's me who's useless!" His deep voice with a nasal tone made Liang Weiyuan's eardrums numb.
"After the eldest young master got into trouble, the Yu family immediately conducted an investigation of his personal guards. Some of my brothers died, some were scattered... I was assigned to the kitchen by that vicious woman of the Yu family. She wanted to humiliate me and force me to leave on my own!"
Liang Weiyuan looked at the bulging blue veins on the back of his neck, as well as the burn scars of varying sizes on the backs of his arms and hands.
It can be seen that this loyal and brave man suffered humiliation in the kitchen, but he always remained loyal to Huo Jinjian.
"So you'd rather wash pots and dishes here surrounded by fumes than leave?"
Liang Weiyuan lowered her voice slightly.
Wei San raised his head, his eyes bloodshot yet surprisingly bright. "The eldest young master saved my life! As long as the eldest young master is still in the Marquis' Mansion, I, Wei San, will never leave the mansion even if I have to be a cook for the rest of my life!"
Liang Weiyuan's heart moved slightly when she heard this.
This man with a face full of flesh may be clumsy in his methods, but his heart of protecting his master is eye-catching.
Liang Weiyuan's eyes were like the reflection of snow, and her thoughts could not be seen. She only said lightly, "Get up and help me take care of the meals for the eldest master."
Wei Sanda roared "Yes", turned around and widened his eyes, staring fiercely at Chef Su and his companions as they cooked porridge.
Whenever anyone moves unusually, he will rush forward and check carefully.
Everyone in the kitchen had just witnessed Wei San beating up Chef Su, but Liang Weiyuan had saved him with a calm word. They were so intimidated that they dared not make any small moves and were busy working with all their heart and soul.
Half an hour later, when the lid of the casserole was opened, the rich sweet aroma of chestnuts mixed with the coolness of snow water spread out, and a bowl of chestnut porridge was full of color, aroma and flavor.
"Bring the food box and follow me to Qingzhu Courtyard to deliver the meal to the eldest master."
Liang Weiyuan gave Wei San instructions casually as if it was natural.
Wei San was stunned at first, then he showed ecstasy and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Madam!"
Huo Jin saw that Wei San had been unconscious for a long time and had never had the chance to see his master since he was sent to the kitchen, so it was not surprising that he reacted so excitedly.
Liang Weiyuan suppressed her thoughts and continued to observe silently on the way back to Qingzhuyuan.
Wei San followed closely, and when he was almost at the moon cave gate, he suddenly stopped and his Adam's apple rolled violently.
