Yan'er paused, then softly said to Song Yushu, "Miss Song, you're worrying too much. The maids in the old master's courtyard will naturally take good care of you. Besides, it's not time to eat now."
It was almost like saying Song Yushu was a country bumpkin. People in Kyoto don't eat at this time.
"Have you served our prince before?"
"In reply to Miss Song, this servant has never served the prince."
"You've never served him before, so how do you know he doesn't want to eat right now?" Song Yushu chuckled and waved Yan'er's hand away. "Or is it that in such a large Lin Mansion, there's no kitchen where I can make snacks? It's even worse than our country?"
Yan'er took a deep breath and bent her knees slightly. "Miss Song, calm down. The small kitchen in the Lin Mansion has quotas for use. I'm afraid it's unreasonable for you to suddenly add to it."
Seeing Yan'er finally getting angry because of him, Song Yushu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Do you believe that if you don't tell me, I will search the entire Lin Mansion for you?"
Although everyone in the Lin family really looked down on the eunuch's sister, Lu Zhixing's attitude was obvious. Even Mrs. Lin didn't dare to confront him head-on, and Yan'er finally gave in.
Wouldn't it be a huge joke if this country girl was allowed to run around the Lin Mansion?
Just as Song Yushu was on his way to the small kitchen, Lin Zhiyao was sitting restlessly in Mrs. Lin's room.
"Mom! My cousin's attitude clearly shows that he doesn't want to marry me. What should I do?" Lin Zhiyao knew Lu Zhixing a little bit. She was very worried that Lu Zhixing would get angry and leave the Lin Mansion.
Mrs. Lin sat in her seat, holding her chest to calm her breath. She had been irritated enough today. When she heard her daughter say this, she sneered, "He has to marry her even if he doesn't want to! It's not up to him!"
"With my cousin's temper, can we really force him?" After all, Lin Zhiyao has feelings for Lu Zhixing, and she is also a young woman who still yearns for love between men and women.
Madam Lin glanced at her beaming daughter, waved to her, then took her hand and spoke earnestly, "The affection between a man and a woman is the easiest to fade. Wasn't your father also filled with joy for me back then?"
"But what was the final result? Isn't it the same as always seeing the newcomers laugh while the old ones cry? Not to mention the status of King Jing? You have to remember that you want the position of the principal wife. Everything else is just a passing cloud!"
Lin Zhiyao glanced at her mother and finally nodded. "I understand, daughter. Let's not delay any further. Let's get started tonight. Let Uncle Chen put something in the dinner. Why worry about cousin not complying?"
Madam Lin shook her head. "It's a bit hasty to act tonight. I've already made arrangements and will act the day after tomorrow. Yan'er and Xi'er have been with Prince Jing these past few days. He's in such a gentle place, I don't believe he won't submit."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhiyao became angry. She shook Madam Lin's hand in dissatisfaction, "Mom! I haven't even touched my cousin yet, why did you let those two little bitches do it first?"
"You're already guilty right after I said that!" Madam Lin slapped the back of Lin Zhiyao's hand. "They're just two maids who are not worthy of being accepted by the public. So what if they are taken in by Prince Jing?"
"What's more, they were both raised by me, your mother. They were originally meant for your father. Their indentures are in my hands. If they get them first, won't they still do their best to help you?"
It is obvious that Lu Zhixing is now on extra guard against the Lin Mansion, and he came here because he was forced by the Emperor and the Queen Mother. It would be a good idea to use two beautiful maids to distract his attention first.
Lin Zhiyao certainly knew this, but she was still very dissatisfied in her heart. However, she took a look at Mrs. Lin's face and had to swallow her dissatisfaction.
At this time, someone came to report that the country maids brought by King Jing filled the kitchens of the mansion with food, saying that they wanted to make cakes for King Jing.
"Look, a country girl can only do this much." Madam Lin shook her head and sneered, not caring about Song Yushu's behavior. "Let her be, but don't alarm the old man."
"Why didn't you stop her?" Lin Zhiyao felt so angry when she thought that this country maid might have been with Lu Zhixing that she gnashed her teeth. "A country girl like this should be beaten to death!"
"I just taught you that!" Madam Lin was helpless with her doted-on daughter. "A man is in the mood, aren't you just embarrassing yourself?! You're the wife! If you don't have this much grace, I'd better find another girl from the clan!"
Although she knew that Princess Jing would never replace anyone else, Lin Zhiyao also knew that her mother was really angry, so she curled her lips and sat aside without saying a word.
"You! Your father and I loved you so much in the past that you developed this personality. When you become Princess Jing in the future, you will..."
While Mrs. Lin was teaching her daughter, Song Yushu had taken the opportunity to walk around most of the Lin Mansion, and finally came out with a basin of horrible-looking pastries.
Yuzhu was still praising her, "Young lady is really a great chef! She can make such a cake on her first try!"
The fact that she could say such words to this plate of black pastries shocked everyone around. They didn't expect that this country girl could be so flattering!
Song Yushu raised his chin proudly, "That's right, your daughter is truly gifted! No more words, hurry up and give it to the prince, or it will get cold soon!"
Although everyone in the kitchen looked down on this country girl, the food was to be served to Prince Jing after all, so the kitchen manager couldn't help but say, "Miss Song, why don't I make some cakes for you to take to the prince? This is really..."
Song Yushu placed the dark cakes he had made in a food box and stuffed it into Yuzhu's hand. "What? Are you jealous that I made such delicious cakes and want to steal my credit?"
Everyone: “…”
In the end, Song Yushu still took her black pastry and left. When she reached a corner, Yuzhu used her body size to squeeze Yan'er behind her, and Song Yushu quickly sprinkled a bottle of medicine into the black pastry.
When Yan'er shook Yuzhu off and caught up with Song Yushu, she had already walked a long way forward and was completely unaware of what Song Yushu had just done.
When they arrived outside Old Master Lin's courtyard, Song Yushu loudly instructed the servants guarding the courtyard, "This is a cake I made myself. You must deliver it to our prince. If he tells me tonight that he didn't eat it, just wait and see!"
This immediately alarmed the old man in the courtyard. He looked at Lu Zhixing gloomily, "Is this the woman you're looking for? Can she even compare to Yao'er?"
