The head of the Nie family ordered the steward to take the family physicians away first, detain them, and have them write statements, and then order someone to send them to the old lady!
He then had Qin Luo's sterilization tray and scalpel cleaned before instructing the butler to prepare a banquet!
Madam Nie has fully recovered and is in much better spirits!
They then discussed with the head of the Nie family when to go to the Yuan residence to acknowledge Old Master Yuan as their father.
Patriarch Nie repeatedly advised her not to rush and to wait until after the New Year.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua inwardly scoffed.
"Son, do you think Old Yuan would be happy if he suddenly had a daughter?"
Wu Hua thought about Yuan Lao's temperament.
"Not necessarily, but I don't think he wants a daughter that much!"
"What should we do? What if he blames us?!"
"Who cares! We're both leaving!"
"You really are your grandfather's best grandson!"
"Of course, let's start the feast! Don't think about these unpleasant things, eat up!"
"Take it easy, don't eat too much!"
"Okay, okay, I understand, Mother Luo!"
"What? What did you say, you brat?"
"It's nothing, I was just complimenting you!"
"You little brat, just you wait until we get back, and see if I don't beat you up!"
Wu Hua was already in a state of not replying after reading the message; she was staring intently at the food in the maid's hand!
Madam Nie's mouth watered at the sight of it, and she stopped the maid from serving the dishes one by one and announcing their names.
"Quickly, bring everything up! The little one is hungry. Let's not stand on formalities and eat!"
Wu Hua was overjoyed to hear this and handed her small bowl to Madam Nie.
"Auntie, I want to eat that, that, and that too!"
"Okay, okay, Auntie will get you some!"
Qin Luo barely ate anything during the banquet.
Even when the Nie family head and his wife praised the fruits and vegetables they brought as delicious, Wu Hua was only given a perfunctory reply, and they kept reminding Wu Hua in their hearts to eat less!
Fortunately, Wu Hua was very considerate and only ate a little bit of each item.
After the meal, the two prepared to return home, and the head of the Nie family and his wife saw them to the door.
A group of servants followed behind, each carrying a food box.
The people queuing outside to give gifts watched with great curiosity.
It's always been others putting things in; this is the first time I've seen someone taking things out.
But why are they all carrying food boxes? Could it be that they're full of gold?
The Nie family head and his wife were very thoughtful; they even specially assigned a pair of guards to escort the two of them all the way to the gate of the Yuan residence.
The gatekeepers of the Yuan residence were extremely curious when they saw the two young masters returning with a donkey cart full of food boxes.
But no one asked any questions; they simply moved the items into the mansion in silence.
Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately went to the kitchen and held a quick meeting with the cooks.
"You must have heard, right? The two young masters brought back a donkey cart full of food from the Nie residence. Do you understand what that means?"
The chefs looked at each other, and finally the head chef stepped forward.
"Could it be that the Nie family has come up with some new flavor that we don't know how to make?"
The butler shook his head.
"No, I secretly checked when they moved it. It's all bird's nest cakes, orchid pastries, and the like. We have all of that in our mansion!"
The head chef stared at him in disbelief.
"Could it be that the young masters think our cooking isn't as good as the Nie family's? That can't be!"
"Why not? I've made myself perfectly clear. Whether you can win over your little masters' stomachs is up to you!"
Upon hearing this, the head chef waved to the cooks behind him.
"Brothers, bring out your best tricks today! I refuse to believe that our Yuan family can lose to the Nie family!"
Butler: This feud has escalated a bit too far!
Completely unaware, Qin Luo and Wu Hua, who were already in the kitchen, were storing the pastries from the food box into their spatial storage.
"Son, next time you eat with other people, can you do what you did today and only eat a little bit of each kind?"
Wu Hua thought for a moment and said, "Alright then! But when there's no one else around, I still want to eat a lot!"
Qin Luo pinched his rosy little face.
"Okay, okay! You can eat as much as you want when no one's around!"
After reaching an agreement, the two began thinking about how to return the food boxes.
The final decision was to put various kinds of fruit in these dozens of food boxes and then have the butler deliver them.
When the housekeeper arranged for someone to return the food boxes, he opened each one and checked it again.
Upon seeing it, I was shocked again; there weren't any fruits this big and fragrant in this mansion!
Not to mention that the manor doesn't have them, you probably couldn't buy them even in the entire Hanyun County.
Could these have all been sent by the young masters' clansmen?
This is no small matter! Not a single person in the entire mansion noticed it, and not a single guard or sentry reported it!
This needs to be reported to the head of the family immediately! And everyone in the household needs to be alerted!
Qin Luo and Wu Hua were unaware that the housekeeper had been frightened by their actions.
The two were in the room, taking out the calligraphy and paintings for the prefect, the wild ox, and Yuan Lao's mechanical beast.
They also picked over a dozen baskets of fruits and vegetables, and took a large pile of rice and flour.
After all, these were grown by Wu Hua herself, so they taste countless times better than those from outside.
Qin Luo selected a painting for the prefect, one that he had acquired from Fan Xing's warehouse!
Although there were seals and inscriptions on it, she couldn't understand the messy handwriting and seal script at all.
I don’t know exactly which artist it is, but I figured it must be a famous painting, since it’s been a thousand years!
Wu Hua chose a leopard-shaped mechanical beast for Elder Yuan, and even placed an energy ball inside it that could both defend and attack.
This is so that it can automatically protect its owner in times of crisis, instead of waiting for the owner to operate it.
