Chapter 50: The Kitchen Manager



Some snacks had just been delivered to Yueya Pavilion, and Butler Wang followed closely behind.

Butler Wang came running over, sweat even appearing on his forehead.

"My queen! My queen! My queen!"

Seeing Butler Wang looking so anxious, the servants who had just delivered the snacks all stepped aside.

It was a rare occasion for them to see Butler Wang so anxious. After all, Butler Wang usually looked extremely dignified.

Qian Ruoyu was enjoying some snacks. When she saw Butler Wang running over and then saw his appearance, she immediately had an idea in her mind.

It is very likely that something happened in the attic, otherwise would Butler Wang come here in such a hurry?

"What's up?"

"Go ahead."

Qian Ruoyu's tone seemed nonchalant, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.

As soon as Butler Wang stopped, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke quickly.

"My Lady Princess, we have found out that the poisoning incident really has nothing to do with you!"

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly and pretended to be calm.

"Oh, this princess knows about this matter."

After all, it wasn't Qian Ruoyu who poisoned him, so how could Qian Ruoyu be afraid of it?

"If this princess had poisoned someone, she would have committed suicide out of fear of the crime. There is no way I would have let you wait here. Tell me, who poisoned someone? Was it some blind chef or..."

But then Butler Wang shook his head.

"This... I don't know either. It is said that the clues were cut off after tracing to the cabin outside the city, and no more clues were found. But the prince soon asked me to come to you."

Listening to what Butler Wang said, Qian Ruoyu knew that it seemed that the heartless man suddenly had a change of heart and had lifted the house arrest for her.

But this made no difference to Qian Ruoyu at all. Even if her house arrest was not lifted, Qian Ruoyu could still leave this place at will. After all, those few servants could not stop her.

Qian Ruoyu then stood up and said to Yan'er beside him.

"Come on, Yan'er, let's go to the big attic and eat something delicious!"

Yan'er on the side was a little caught off guard. After all, she had just seen her own queen being confined in there, looking like she was in a very dangerous situation.

Now she heard that we were going to the big attic to eat delicious food. How could she accept it?

But while Yan'er was thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu had already walked out of the yard, so Yan'er had to follow him quickly.

The servant standing by was a little at a loss for a moment. He didn't know what to do after Qian Ruoyu left, so he quickly looked at Butler Wang.

"What are you still standing there for? Take all these things away!"

Afterwards, these snacks were taken away from Yueya Pavilion, and Butler Wang hurriedly followed Qian Ruoyu.

In just a few breaths, Qian Ruoyu had hurriedly brought Yan'er to the big attic.

Although the food in the big attic was a little cold, Qian Ruoyu didn't care. After all, she came here just to get a good look at Chu Mobai's expression.

Chu Mobai had wronged her, so she wanted to know how Chu Mobai could watch her eat.

After seeing Qian Ruoyu enter the big attic, Chu Mobai just took a glance and then retracted his gaze to the guard in front of him.

He ordered, "You guys go down for now. From now on, all the food you buy must be checked one by one. There must be no omissions!"

When Chu Mobai just said this, Qian Ruoyu spoke before she even sat down.

"No, no."

"Such a serious incident as poisoning has happened. Although we haven't found any clues and haven't found out who poisoned the person, are you just going to let it go like this?"

Qian Ruoyu sneered, "No wonder someone dared to poison you. So this is what happened? It's too easy to just say a few words!"

After finishing speaking, Qian Ruoyu spoke to the servants and chefs.

"Hey, don't think that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you. I'm saying this for your own good!"

"If something happens in our palace kitchen in the future, I'm afraid not only will you be held accountable one by one, but your family will also be affected. If you don't find a better person for this matter, you will regret it in the future!"

As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, everyone in the audience suddenly understood.

After all, Qian Ruoyu was right. If they didn’t handle the problem properly this time, if such things happen again in the future, they would probably never be let off easily again!

Chu Mobai also noticed the meaning in Qian Ruoyu's words, and immediately did not think that Qian Ruoyu was deliberately mocking him. Instead, he felt that what Qian Ruoyu said made sense.

And the most important thing is that Chu Mobai misunderstood Qian Ruoyu because of this incident, which made Qian Ruoyu return to the big attic.

Although he had no good feelings towards Qian Ruoyu at all, Chu Mobai felt a little guilty in his heart at this moment.

Chu Mobai spoke.

"Tell me how to deal with this!"

Qian Ruoyu was just about to mock Chu Mobai, but suddenly remembered something.

Mocking Chu Mobai was just a way to satisfy his momentary desire.

But if we can seize the management rights of the palace's kitchen at this time, doesn't it mean that we can make some money from it... No, no, no, it means we can get a small subsidy from it!

Then he wouldn't have to worry about having no money to spend these days. Just going to the palace to make arrangements had cost Qian Ruoyu a little money, and he still owed the treasury a small sum of money.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu told the story.

"The kitchen is small, but the prince's life is important. Don't blame me for saying something cruel. Since I am the queen of the palace, I naturally have to worry about the affairs of the palace!"

Qian Ruoyu said this with great righteousness.

When she said the words "Empress Dowager", she deliberately glanced at Li Zhiyi, which made Li Zhiyi so angry that she had to turn her head away.

"In this case, I will be in charge of the kitchen of the palace from now on. I will be in charge of everything from purchasing dishes to the final cooking. If anything goes wrong, you can punish me as you wish!"

In order to avoid Chu Mobai suspecting that she had ulterior motives, Qian Ruoyu deliberately added a sentence.

"Managing the kitchen is a tough job. I am a delicate lady, and the kitchen is a busy place. I can't choose good dishes. If you don't choose me, it's okay. I can let my sister do it!"

When she heard that it was in full swing and that it would be mixed in with the meat and vegetables, how could Li Zhiyi be willing to do such a thing?

Therefore, Li Zhiyi took the initiative to recommend, "No, no... let elder sister do this. Since elder sister wants to manage it, then let elder sister manage it!"
