Chapter 508 Eating meat made me feel hot.
Aunt Xue trembled, and in fear, she quickly retreated, silently returning to the place where she had just eaten.
Shu Yu, "..." She hadn't even had a chance to say anything.
But it doesn't matter, she originally planned to come again tomorrow anyway, so that Aunt Xue could warm her up a bit and get her some good stuff.
The group resumed their journey.
As it was getting dark, we finally arrived at the post station.
Meanwhile, Meng Yunzheng led the Lu family down another small road, bypassing them and entering a small town ahead.
Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi were the only two people there, and they usually just found whatever accommodations they needed at night.
They either camped out in the open, or took a different route like today to enter the town or county first, or stayed at the inn where Shu Yu and the others were staying.
Today he's taking Lu Erbai to see Shu Yu; the rest of the Lu family still need to open an inn in town.
The town is not big, with only one or two inns. It's rare to see so many guests. The innkeepers are very welcoming.
Therefore, when Meng Yunzheng asked him if he could borrow the kitchen, he immediately and readily agreed.
Once in the kitchen, Meng Yunzheng said to the old lady, "They don't eat very well during the day when they are in exile, so I usually prepare some food for her to take with her in the evening. Since you've come today, perhaps we can give her a surprise and make some of her favorite dishes."
The old lady immediately rolled up her sleeves. "Alright, alright, we'll do it. Didn't Ayu eat well during the day? Well, I'll go ask the shopkeeper for some chicken, duck, fish, or meat..."
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Yunzheng stopped him, touching his nose and saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Let's skip the chicken, duck, and fish."
"Why? Is it because it's hard to carry? That makes sense, the smell is a bit strong, other people might be able to smell it."
Meng Yunzheng coughed lightly, and Zhao Xi chuckled beside him, "No, it's because when A-Yun was bringing food to Miss Lu before, she had the same idea as you, bringing her meat every day, which made Miss Lu feel hot, so Miss Lu asked us to bring her some vegetarian food."
The Lu family, "..."
They all stared at Meng Yunzheng in shock, then wanted to laugh.
It's unbelievable that the seemingly elegant and capable Young Master Meng would encounter such a situation.
The old lady smiled and said, "Alright, let's make something simple and light."
After a pause, she said gratefully to Meng Yunzheng, "Actually, you kept saying that Ayu hadn't suffered any mistreatment along the way and had been eating well. Although I didn't think you were likely lying, I was still worried that you were just trying to comfort us. But when I heard that you've been feeding her meat every day and that she's even getting a sore throat from it, I really felt relieved."
Let alone those who are exiled, even in ordinary households, who can afford to eat meat every day?
Feeling embarrassed to stay any longer, Meng Yunzheng said to the others, "You all go ahead with your work. I'll get ready and take Uncle Lu over in a bit."
He practically fled in panic, and the Lu family members behind him chuckled quietly at the sight.
This was the first time they had laughed so easily since they learned that Ayu had been exiled.
The old lady and the others prepared a meal, and Meng Yunzheng also returned, carrying a few fruits in his hand. "The place we passed by a few days ago didn't have many fruits for sale because it was too late, but this time I found a few pomelos, and I'll take them to her later."
