Faced with Shi Yu's wide-eyed stare, He Qiuniang quickly poured the small bowl of egg and meat soup into her own mouth.
After finishing her meal, He Qiuniang couldn't help but smack her lips.
Indeed, just as her sweet little daughter said.
It's quite delicious.
"Yuyu, I didn't get to eat at the birthday banquet, and now I'm hungry. I couldn't resist the aroma of your delicious egg and meat soup..."
He Qiuniang's acting was poorly executed, and she lied.
I have to lie.
Otherwise, how could her well-behaved daughter, who is only a little over a month old, eat egg and meat soup?
She must not be her biological mother to feed Shi Yu egg and meat soup.
That tiny spoonful just now—it showed how heartless she, as a mother, was.
Moreover, if we make Shi Yu cry and cause the capital to flood, wouldn't that bring sin upon her precious daughter?
"Yuyu, you won't blame your mother, will you?"
He Qiuniang looked at Shi Yu with trepidation.
Shi Yu's tears, which she was about to shed, were caught in the middle.
He Qiuniang took a look and thought, "Oh, there's still hope!"
She pressed on, "But to make amends, Mother had Chunhua make you a bowl of fragrant goat milk."
"Chunhua, hurry up and feed the young lady."
As He Qiuniang spoke, she quickly gave her beloved little daughter to Chunhua.
Seeing Shi Yu's tearful face, this old mother couldn't bear it.
Shi Yu was heartbroken; she drank goat milk while grieving.
Waaaaah... My steamed egg and meat custard is gone!
[That mother is such a bad person! She actually stole the children's food.]
Yu Yu was heartbroken, but her conscience and filial piety told her that it was her duty to respect her mother.
But Yu Yu is still so sad, my egg and meat soup.
[Waaaaah...]
While crying inwardly, Shi Yu continued to slurp her goat milk without any apparent concern.
Goat milk tastes pretty good, but it's a bit monotonous.
[If you make milk tea with milk and tea, and then add crushed peanuts, raisins, red beans, mung beans, etc...]
It would taste amazing to eat this, and even better if it were chilled.
Oh, and double-skin milk pudding too.
[Sigh...]
Just thinking about it made Shi Yu's mouth water.
He Qiuniang: What are milk tea and double-skin milk?
Or, could she secretly ask the kitchen staff to make it and see?
When Gua66 saw Shi Yu eating sadly, he quickly jumped out to comfort her.
【Yuyu, although I can't give you milk tea, I can give you melon to eat with your rice.】
[Eating melon seeds?] As soon as Shi Yu heard there was melon seeds, her aggrieved little expression immediately disappeared.
[Speak quickly, speak quickly!]
[If there's something interesting to eat, I might be willing to make do with goat milk.]
Chunhua looked at the nearly empty bowl: "Young Miss's compromises are indeed quite remarkable."
But if there's any juicy gossip, she'll want to hear it too.
Quietly, Chunhua pricked up her ears.
Melon 66, [Yuyu, the melon I'm going to tell you this time is related to your grandfather whom you've never met.]
[Yuyu, you're in trouble! You're about to have a step-grandmother.]
He Qiuniang/Shi Chengya/Chunhua: Step-grandmother? ??
What the hell is this?
He Qiuniang gripped the handkerchief in her hand even more anxiously.
You should know that her father remained single for more than ten years after her mother passed away, and never met a suitable person to remarry.
Why did one of them suddenly appear this time?
[Gua66, are you sure it's a stepmother and not a vixen?] Shi Yu's beautiful big eyes were serious.
Gua66, [Yes, that's confirmed. And your maternal grandfather is coming to visit with your stepmother soon.]
"How did they meet?" Shi Yu asked curiously.
Gua66, [Your maternal grandfather saved her on his way to the capital, and the two of them gradually fell in love.]
"May I ask how old my step-grandmother is?" Shi Yu asked in her childish voice.
He Qiuniang/Shi Chengya/Chunhua: Same question.
She's only in her early twenties; a very young and charming widow.
[It's said that she was abandoned by her husband, heartbroken, and wanted to jump into the river.]
Shi Yu: [Then my grandfather happened to save her, and she started dating him?]
Gua66, [That's indeed the case.]
Shi Yu's sweet, childlike voice was even more puzzled.
[Hero saves the damsel in distress?]
Shouldn't she have fallen in love with the servant who rescued her?
What do you think she's after from my grandfather?
[This picture shows my grandfather's advanced age and poor health.]
[Is she a widow after my grandfather died a few years later?]
"Cough cough cough..." He Qiuniang choked on Shi Yu's honest and realistic little voice.
Luckily, her father wasn't here, or he would have been furious.
But it's all for the best; at least she knew about her stepmother beforehand.
Gua66: [Yuyu, please don't make things difficult for a system like me. How am I supposed to know about human emotions?]
"Oh, my mom is so pitiful," Shi Yu sighed in her sweet little voice.
My mother got divorced, and her father got married.
[With a step-grandmother comes a step-grandfather.]
Do you think my stepmother will kick my mother out when she goes back to her parents' home?
[Waaaaah, my mom is such a pitiful woman.]
[Poor Yu Yu's granddaughter.]
From now on, if I ask my maternal grandfather for something, he'll have to go back and ask my stepmother for permission.
He Qiuniang was slightly taken aback: No, why did I suddenly feel sorry for her?
Why did she suddenly become so pitiful?
That day, He Qiuniang finally received news that her father was coming.
