Ah Li smiled as she took the divorce papers from Liu Chuye and tore them up right in front of him and Situ Yan.
Liu Chuye did not stop Ah Li; he would protect his sister in his own way.
However, Liu Chuye frowned at this moment, and for some reason, he felt as if he had forgotten something.
Those things seemed very important to him.
It's about my older sister.
My sister is still the same sister.
However, seeing her and Situ Yan so loving and affectionate, he felt calm and even pleased.
Liu Chuye didn't understand, and he didn't stay in the princess's residence any longer.
Because the Empress Dowager sent ministers to invite him back to the palace.
The memorials from the palace were piled up like a mountain, waiting for his review.
After Liu Chuye left, Bai Lan secretly told Ali, "The Xu family is gone."
Situ Yan went to the kitchen and said he was going to cook Ah Li his specialty dish.
Ah Li reached out her hand, and Bai Lan immediately stepped forward to support Ah Li's arm.
Ahri, holding Bai Lan's hand, strolled around slowly. "Are they all gone?"
"Yes, not a single one survived."
"Who did this?"
"It is Your Majesty."
Bai Lan spoke very softly, as if she was worried about being overheard.
Ah Li paused slightly. "Has anyone seen this?"
"I don't know."
Seeing that Ah Li was looking at her, Bai Lan continued, "I haven't been able to find out when His Majesty went there that day. In the past two days, the entire Xu family has been wiped out, and people outside don't dare to spread rumors."
In other words, no one dared to spread it.
Because the person most likely to take action is the eldest princess.
Some officials in the court also submitted memorials requesting a thorough investigation.
It's uncertain who Liu Chuye will have investigate since he has just returned to the palace.
Ah Li raised her hand to adjust the flower in her hair. She walked to the kitchen door and looked at Situ Yan, who was cooking inside.
"Tell everyone in the manor to keep their mouths shut about this. If anyone goesssips, beat them to death with sticks."
"Here you go."
Bai Lan responded and then went downstairs.
Ah Li then stepped into the kitchen. "Ah Yan, what delicious food are you making?"
When Situ Yan saw Ah Li enter, he quickly came forward and said, "Your Highness, the kitchen is smoky, you shouldn't have come in."
"If my son-in-law can enter, why can't I?"
Ah Li took Situ Yan's arm and asked him to take her to see the food he had prepared.
There are meatballs, fish, meat, and vegetables.
Situ Yan also told Ali the name of the dish, "This is Pearl Jade White Jade Ball. It is made with fresh shrimp and spinach juice, wrapped in glutinous rice and steamed. It has a soft and glutinous texture but is also refreshing."
"Also, this steamed perch is made with the fattest perch from the river, which I specially selected. It's seasoned with ginger and scallions, and the simple seasoning brings out the purest freshness of the fish."
"And what about this?"
"This is braised pork belly. I specially simmered it over low heat until the meat was tender and soft, not greasy at all, and melted in your mouth. And this is stir-fried vegetables with emerald greens. I used the tenderest vegetables, which have a bright color and an excellent taste."
As Situ Yan spoke, he led Ah Li to look at each of the objects.
Ah Li listened with great interest and praised him, "Ah Yan, you are really amazing! Not only are you skilled in both literature and martial arts, but you can also cook. Where can you find a prince consort like this?"
She winked playfully at people, her tone full of coquettishness and pride.
Situ Yan gently pinched Ah Li's nose and smiled, "It is my greatest honor to be able to cook for Your Highness."
"Then you continue, I'll watch you do it."
Ah Li had a chair brought over, and she sat down while Situ Yan continued cooking.
Worried that people would go hungry, Situ Yan washed his hands and continued cooking.
However, he was worried that Ah Li would get hungry if he waited too long, so he prepared some pastries for Ah Li first.
The pastries are delicate and small, with an enticing color and a faint sweet aroma, which is Ali's favorite flavor.
She gently picked up a piece, chewed it slowly, and her face was filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Seeing this, Situ Yan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and became even more enthusiastic about cooking.
