Chapter 13 Dark Front
"Aman, go get the account book!" the elder lady said to Aunt Bai!
"Yes, old lady!" Nanny Bai responded and went into the inner room.
The elder lady said, "The eldest daughter-in-law will stay, and you can all go away!"
Everyone agreed, and Yuan Ziyu followed Ning's mother and daughter out of Shousong Hall!
Yuan Zitong looked at Yuan Ziyu's outfit with envy. Compared to hers, her own clothes were so shabby that she said with a curled lip, "Second sister, you look so beautiful today!"
It was so beautiful that she wanted to grab it and wear it herself!
Yuan Ziyu could see Yuan Zitong's jealousy and just smiled, pretending not to know: "Thank you for the compliment, big sister. Qingying and the others insisted that this outfit suits today's weather. It seems they have good taste!"
"It's really good!" Yuan Zitong held Lian Qiao's hand tightly. Lian Qiao felt pain but didn't dare to make a sound, but her face turned pale with pain.
Yuan Ziyu glanced at Lian Qiao obscurely and smiled happily: "I think so too!"
Looking at Yuan Zitong's appearance, Yuan Ziyu once again lamented his stupidity in his previous life. He couldn't even see such obvious jealousy!
Seeing her daughter about to lose her temper, Mrs. Ning hurriedly said, "Tong'er, I made some plum blossom cakes. You've been saying you want some, so come with me and get them!"
After saying that, Ning smiled at Yuan Ziyu and said, "Second girl, come to Second Aunt's yard and have some snacks!"
"Thank you, Second Aunt. I won't go today. I'll bother you another day. I hope you don't find me annoying!" Ning smiled, and Yuan Ziyu was naturally happy too.
"Then I'll ask the maid to send some to you later!" Ning didn't force it!
"Thank you, Second Aunt!" Yuan Ziyu thanked with a smile.
Ning dragged the reluctant Yuan Zitong away. Qingying frowned slightly and glanced at the backs of Ning and her daughter, then said to Yuan Ziyu, "Second Miss, the snow is getting heavier. Let's go back!"
"Let's go to the big kitchen first!" Yuan Ziyu said after thinking for a while!
"Ah!" Qingying didn't expect Yuan Ziyu to want to go to the big kitchen, so she hurriedly said, "Second Miss, the big kitchen is so smoky, what will you do if it gets choked up?"
Yuan Ziyu laughed and said, "You think your daughter is a porcelain doll that cannot be touched, right? I'm not that delicate!"
"But you have just recovered from your illness!" Qingying was still a little worried!
"Just go and take a look, and come back soon!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile!
"Okay then!" Qingying knew she couldn't convince her daughter, so she had to compromise: "Then just take a look and come back!"
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and looked at Qingying.
From Shousong Hall to the big kitchen, one has to pass through a plum forest. At this time, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, falling on the branches of the plum trees. Among the silver and bronze, the newly opened buds are exuding bursts of fragrance!
Yuan Ziyu was delighted by this, so he ordered Qingying to pick a few red plum blossoms and put them in a vase when he got home.
When they arrived at the big kitchen, before Qingying could say anything, the kitchen manager, known as Mother Fan, came out to greet them!
"Why is the Second Young Lady here?" Mother Fan said to Yuan Ziyu with a smile on her face, "Is there anything you want to eat? Just ask someone to tell you, and I will make sure it's ready for you."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm just here to take a look. I'll be leaving soon!"
Mother Fan didn't know why Yuan Ziyu came to the kitchen. Seeing that Yuan Ziyu didn't say anything, she smiled and followed Yuan Ziyu, listening to his instructions at any time.
Yuan Ziyu did not walk into the kitchen, but only walked to the door of the kitchen. A pungent smell filled her nostrils.
It’s the smell of locust leaves!
Yuan Ziyu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil!
Such a strong scent of locust leaves can only mean one thing: almost all the food in this big kitchen has been drugged!
That person wants to deal with the entire General's Mansion!
But who is that person?
How long has this medicine been taken?
Yuan Ziyou's heart trembled a little. He glanced at the kitchen solemnly and said to Mother Fan, "Mom, please get busy. I'm leaving now!"
Having said that, he took Qingying's hand and left!
Mother Fan was a little confused. She didn't know what Yuan Ziyu was here for. After she couldn't figure it out, she left it aside and went back to the kitchen to arrange various matters.
After returning to Wuyou Pavilion, Yuan Ziyu ordered Qingzhi to get a blue and white porcelain vase with twined branches of plum blossoms, put the red plum blossoms in it and place it in front of the window. Then he went to the study and asked Qingying to brew a pot of tea. While sipping the tea, he began to read the sword manual.
When Qingying and Qingzhi saw Yuan Ziyu reading a book, they quietly left, not knowing that Yuan Ziyu was extremely uneasy at this moment!
At this time, Zihuayuan where Ning lived was also in turmoil!
"Tong'er, why are you so impatient?" Ning said to Yuan Zitong helplessly!
"Mom!" Yuan Zitong said unwillingly, "I'm just so angry. Look at what that damn girl is wearing, and then look at what I'm wearing. We're both girls from the Yuan family, so why is there such a big difference? Now that damn girl is going to live in the capital permanently. If I go out to a banquet in the future, I'll be so embarrassed!"
Ning Shi was also indignant at this, but she was naturally more cunning than Yuan Zitong. "That place is so close to Shousong Hall. Do you want your grandmother to know that your usual gentleness and virtuousness are all an act?"
Yuan Zitong was startled when she heard this and said hurriedly, "Mom, I was wrong!"
Ning heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tong'er understood everything immediately. "Tong'er, you're not a child anymore. You should be careful with your words and actions from now on. Last time, you asked Rendong to do those things without my consent. If Rendong hadn't come back and told me, and I hadn't taken care of the situation for you, do you think you could have escaped your grandmother's eyes?"
Yuan Zitong turned around and glanced at Ren Dong who was standing behind Ning, and curled her lips: "Mom, I'll be more careful next time!"
"You!" Ning helplessly tapped Yuan Zitong's forehead and said to Rendong, "I won't pursue the matter of last time. If it happens again, I will not let you off easily!"
Honeysuckle knelt down and apologized, "Madam, I won't do it again next time!"
"Alright, get up!" Ning waved her hand and said to Yuan Zitong, "Remember, next time you do something, you have to tell me!"
"I understand, mother!" Yuan Zitong leaned against Ning's side and looked at Ren Dong: "Mother, please give Sister Ren Dong to me!"
"No!" Ning refused!
"Why, Mom, I like Sister Honeysuckle!" Yuan Zitong said coquettishly!
"Hmph, don't think that mother doesn't know your little thoughts. If I say no, it means no!" Ning said after taking a sip of tea!
Yuan Zitong pouted unhappily because she failed to get the honeysuckle!
Honeysuckle stood behind Ning, lowering her head slightly, with a dark glint in her eyes.
