"Cough cough cough—"
This time, Madam Cen also started coughing. Before Xu Wanying could ask, she took the initiative to explain, "The dishes today are too strong in flavor, and they're a bit too salty for my throat."
"Madam Hou, please drink the soup. This soup is light and refreshing."
Granny Liu quickly ladled out a bowl of soup and pushed it over, her diligence and attentiveness making it seem as if she was about to feed her herself.
Feng Xing, who was serving the soup, immediately followed suit and served a bowl of soup as well. Both mother and daughter were very respectful, and even their postures when serving the soup were exactly the same.
Only Li Chunlan's maid remained silent. Normally, Li Chunlan would have been furious and would have given her a good scolding when she got back. Even though she hadn't coughed, all the other maids knew to bring her soup. How could her maid be so dense?
But now she is very glad. It's okay if the girl is a little stupid. What's the use of being as smart as Granny Liu? She's so smart that she keeps a man outside and causes so much trouble for her master. In the end, she still has to clean up Granny Liu's mess.
Xu Wanying continued, "Hasn't Liu's husband ever discovered that she's been keeping a mistress outside for so many years?"
[Feng Fugui kept many more women outside the marriage and couldn't care less about her. The two had been happy together when they were young, and their two sons were born during that time. However, later Feng Fugui disliked Liu Caihua for getting old and losing her looks, and secretly kept several young women outside the marriage. Liu Caihua naturally knew, but she could only turn a blind eye; as long as they weren't brought home, she pretended not to know.]
[How was Feng Xing born? She was only a year older than Jiang Jinyu, and by then Feng Fugui and Granny Liu had long since lost their affection for each other.]
The system calmly replied: "Of course, it was born to curry favor with the master's family. Their eldest son followed Jiang Chengzong, and their second son followed Jiang Chengli. At that time, Cen Shi wasn't pregnant with twins yet, but Feng Fugui and Liu Caihua were both ambitious and wanted to have a third child, just in case. If it's a man, he can become a manager with Feng Fugui; if it's a woman, she can become a concubine or maidservant for the two masters."
[Host, if Jiang Jinyu hadn't been born, Feng Xing might be serving you tea with the proper etiquette for a concubine right now.]
The system spoke as if it wanted to stir up trouble, completely in a state of watching the show.
