Chapter 33: Hungry Cat
Marquis Wen Yang was angry, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted at this moment.
He has endured for many years and doesn't want to endure it anymore!
"Since your heart and eyes are full of your good niece, then go and celebrate the New Year with your niece. You don't treat us as a family anyway!"
Mrs. Wen stood there in a daze, head down, not daring to say a word. Her face was so pale that it was almost bloodless, and she was staggering as if she was about to fall down.
In the past, Yun Jinglan would have stepped out to smooth things over, but today he pretended not to see it and even lowered his head pretending to look for something.
Su Junyao wanted to teach his mother a lesson, otherwise no matter how much property the Marquis' Mansion had, it would not be enough for Zheng's mother and son to move away. He counted the account books of these years, and the accounts were well kept, especially every time Yun Jinglan was pregnant, most of the expenses were recorded for her and the child!
Su Wenqi was about to speak when Liu Yueyao stopped him with a look. The henchman was powerless. Su Changxu, who had just been scolded, was even more powerless.
This time, Wen Yanghou was serious and actually had Wen sent to the mansion in the east of the city. Wen struggled in vain and was actually forced into the carriage by the housekeeper.
Marquis Wenyang stood at the door and watched the carriage go away. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of absurdity that she should not be a member of the Marquis' Mansion.
His feelings towards Wen have been very complicated over the years. When he proposed to her, he was indeed genuinely happy, but the guilt he felt after being separated for many years was even greater.
However, because of the matter with Zheng's mother and son, these feelings were gradually worn away and even became extremely annoying. Sometimes, looking at her for even a second would make him feel extremely irritated.
Now he actually felt a little relieved, and did not order people to close the gate of the mansion until the carriage could no longer see Marquis Wen Yang.
This kind of disturbance is bound to make for an uneasy night.
Wen Yanghou waved his hand and said: "This old man can't hold on any longer. He doesn't have the spirit of you young people. You guys keep watch."
He looked a bit sad as he walked unsteadily.
Su Wenqi's face turned even paler when the cold wind blew. He suggested, "How about we go back?"
Liu Yueyao rolled her eyes at him and corrected him, "It's Chinese New Year!"
During the Chinese New Year, every family is reunited, but only the old lady in their marquis's mansion likes to make trouble instead of enjoying such a good time!
"Of course, we can't change the rules of staying up all night during the New Year." Liu Yueyao winked at Yun Jinglan, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Yun Jinglan hesitated for a moment. She felt that she didn't really want to hear what Liu Yueyao was going to say next.
Without even giving her a chance to refuse, Liu Yueyao directly grabbed Yun Jinglan's hand and said, "Let's go to Jingxin Garden to eat hot pot and play mahjong!"
Although I know that Liu Yueyao went there for Jiujiu, it is undeniable that this is a good way to kill time.
On New Year's Eve, snowflakes slowly drifted down from the sky. Wen Yanghou stood by the window, watching the snowflakes slowly descend and disappear. Suddenly, he asked the people behind him, "Have they gone back to rest?"
The old housekeeper smiled and said, "The Third Madam suggested going to Jingxin Garden to eat hot pot and play mahjong. They all went there."
Wen Yanghou was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "That's a good idea. The third daughter-in-law is really good at handling things."
Among the three daughters-in-law, Liu Yueyao has the worst family background, but she is the only one in the whole mansion who lives freely.
"That's good. Don't be too twisted in life, otherwise, it will be too tiring!"
The old butler didn't know whether Marquis Wenyang was speaking to him or himself, so he smiled and didn't answer.
Marquis Wenyang was also tired, so he asked the old butler to go back and rest.
"It's New Year's Eve today, so don't serve me here anymore. Go home." Marquis Wenyang took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the old steward. "This is a red envelope for your son Qiu Cheng. You must give it to him personally so that he can study hard at the academy and not let your efforts go to waste."
The old butler had worked in the Wenyang Marquis's mansion all his life. He did not refuse the offer from Wenyang Marquis. After thanking him, he accepted the red envelope and left.
He also needs to go back and spend time with his family.
The room was cold and quiet. Marquis Wenyang blew out the candle and went to bed early.
Some people go to bed early, some people wake up early...
Jiujiu was sleeping soundly, but there was a mysterious force calling her, as if saying - Jiujiu, it's time to eat!
After being awakened by the aroma of the hot pot, Jiujiu felt his mouth watering. It turned out that this was the power of delicious food.
I want to eat duck blood, lamb rolls, goose intestines, duck intestines, tripe, and big slices of meat!
Others didn’t know, but Yun Jinglan’s family of four were desperately swallowing their saliva and said they were hungry when the dishes were announced.
In fact, the hot pot had just arrived and the food was not cooked yet, but Jiujiu said he was hungry.
"Gulp."
Liu Yueyao: "Who?"
Yun Jinglan got up and picked up the little glutton from the bed: "This?"
The room was warm, but Chiu Chiu was still wearing a thick cotton coat, which made her look like a round ball.
Jiujiu was really angry.
You guys were cheating on me by eating!
"Slurp!"
[You're being disloyal! I'm going to cause trouble!]
Yun Jinglan was helpless against this little glutton, so she quickly asked Xia Zhi to warm up a bowl of milk for her and bring it over.
"Three-month-old babies can't eat hot pot."
Yun Jinglan tried to reason with her daughter, saying, "What kind of baby girl can recite the names of dishes at three months old, and even drool when she can't eat them?"
"Slurp, mua!"
Jiojio, raise your little fist, it smells so good!
Let me smell it!
Chiu Chiu's little fists commanded: "Third Brother, the lamb rolls are getting overcooked!"
In a flash, a piece of mutton roll disappeared in front of Liu Yueyao.
Liu Yueyao: “?” Where is the meat I’ve been staring at for so long?
Seeing that her third brother had eaten the mutton roll for her, Jiujiu, who had been drinking milk to satisfy her craving, was satisfied.
[Fourth Brother, grab a tofu puff, soak it up the broth, and devour it in one bite!]
Liu Yueyao had just aimed her chopsticks when the tofu disappeared from her sight.
Su Xiucheng tasted the bean curd soup that his sister highly recommended and said, "Delicious!"
Chuchu sped up her sucking, but her little eyes kept glancing at her two older brothers' bowls. [This is Chuchu's favorite!]
Although I still love goose intestines, duck intestines, tripe, and large slices of meat!
The meat was killed one after another, and Liu Yueyao was dumbfounded. When did the eldest brother's family become so good at fighting over food?
"Leave some for me!" Liu Yueyao puffed out her cheeks and reached for the bowl to scoop some out. Su Wenqi, worried that she would get some on herself, quickly rolled up her sleeves. "You can eat it if you take your time. I'll ask them to let you have some."
Su Wenqi gave everyone a pleading look, saying that his eldest brother's family really had the potential to become bandits!
A vicious little bird that hopes others won't get to eat it either, just because it can't eat it itself: 【Charge! Don't give Third Aunt a chance!】
Liu Yueyao: "Hurry, my meatballs! Su Wenqi, I want tofu and duck intestines!"
"Okay, okay, I'll give them all to you." Su Wenqi, "This meatball is for Yaoyao!"
While other families are having a lively time, Su Changxu, a lone man, seems even more lonely.
He watched the group of people grabbing food, and the smile on his lips could barely stay on.
Jiujiu was infected by the lively atmosphere and was shaking his head. Suddenly, he noticed that his second uncle, whom he was not very familiar with, had a resentful look in his eyes, as if he was unhappy about something.
[Hey, Uncle looks like the dog that got kicked on the street!]
The four members of the Su family: "..."
No, why is Chiu Chiu cursing because she can't get hot pot?
