Chapter 74: Enemies Are Bound To Meet

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Uncle woke up before three o’clock in the morning.

Aunt was woken up by him and muttered unhappily, “You’re not going. Why are you up so early?”

Master Xiao Wu only ordered the stinky tofu, and Yu Wan could make it. There was no need to trouble Uncle to follow her.

However, the truth was that Uncle had secretly done it several times behind Yu Wan’s back, but no matter what he did, it was never as stinky as the stinky tofu that Yu Wan made. Uncle was deeply shocked and decided not to let anyone discover this secret. He was still a legend in the kitchen, and he was still the most powerful uncle!

Aunt and Yu Feng, who had long discovered the secret: “…”

Uncle put on his clothes and said with a smile, “Ah Wan is going to the Capital. After she’s done, she’ll go visit those children. I’ll make some food for her to bring.”

“Do they lack your food?” Aunt glared at him, but she suppressed her sleepiness.

After five in the morning, the sky gradually turned bright. The faint morning light rushed through the clouds and landed dazzlingly.

Shangguan Yan sat in front of the dressing table and inadvertently glanced at it. She closed her eyes slightly because of the colorful glazed tiles outside the window.

Nanny Fang hurriedly pulled the curtain closed.

The maidservant stood behind Shangguan Yan and tried an entire row of dazzling hairpins on her.

It was rare for Shangguan Yan to wake up early. It was for no other reason than today was Master Xiao Wu’s aunt’s birthday. She was there to congratulate Old Mrs. Wei.

Speaking of this Old Mrs. Wei, she was really an extraordinary person. She lost her husband in her early years and her daughter in her middle age. She only had a youngest daughter left.

When life was about to end, she took her daughter to take refuge with a distant cousin, which was Xiao Wu’s family.

However, what Old Mrs. Wei did not expect was that Xiao Wu’s family was also ridiculously poor. Xiao Wu was a loafer, and Xiao Wu’s mother’s personality was too weak to control him. She also had a pair of children to take care of, so she did not have the time to support this family.

Fortunately, although the Xiao couple was poor, they did not mind having two more mouths at home. However, no matter how much they did not dislike it, the rice bag still deflated bit by bit.

Old Mrs. Wei was forced to do what she had learned from her late husband and started to make a living.

A widow supporting a big family alone. The hardships involved were unimaginable.

It could be said that without Old Mrs. Wei, there wouldn’t be the current Xiao Wu and his family.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao had passed away a few years ago. Old Mrs. Wei originally planned to bring her daughter back to the countryside, but Xiao Wu persuaded her to stay.

Xiao Wu had bought a mansion for her, and Wan Zhaoyi had even given her a royal decree. Not only that, Wan Zhaoyi had even brought her daughter into the palace to educate her.

As such, Old Mrs. Wei could not bring up the topic of returning to her hometown and completely settle down in the Capital.

“Madam, the Second Master’s carriage is ready.” A second-class maidservant entered through the curtain and reported softly.

The new young maidservant picked out a peacock hairpin and said arrogantly, “Let him wait!”

Nanny Fang glared at the young maidservant.

The maidservant pursed her lips. “Madam always makes the Second Master wait…”

Shangguan Yan adjusted the hairpin on her bun and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. “I really can’t let him wait today.”

“Second Master can wait. Second Master said that Madam is the most important!” The maidservant said firmly.

Shangguan Yan looked in the mirror and put on her earrings. “Who’s afraid of him waiting?”

Today was Old Mrs. Wei’s birthday. Shangguan Yan still owed Old Mrs. Wei a big favor, so she naturally could not cause trouble at her birthday banquet.

The maidservant helped Shangguan Yan into the carriage.

After arriving at the Wei Manor, the male guests went to Master Xiao Wu’s place. The women were led to the Xi Chun Pavilion in the inner residence. Only Shangguan Yan was invited to Old Mrs. Wei’s room by the steward with a smile.

On the other side, the Yu Family’s carriage had also arrived at the Wei Manor.

Uncle didn’t come, but Yu Feng and Yu Song came. The two of them were Yu Wan’s assistants.

Yu Wan carried a bag and jumped off the carriage with a small jar. The two of them carried down the basket and jar containing the ingredients.

The jar was sealed very well, and the smell inside could not be smelled. However, compared to the delicacies coming in and out of the manor, the few baskets and clay jars still looked a little shabby.

The pageboy guarding the door looked at them for a long time, but he did not recognize what they were here for. It was not until Yu Wan took out the invitation left behind by Master Xiao Wu that the pageboy realized that the three people in front of him were the chefs invited by Master Xiao Wu.

After what happened to the Bai family, the three of them changed out of their original clothes when they went to Capital. Although they were still dressed in plain clothes, they looked much more presentable than before. It was just that… They seemed to be too young.

However, Master Xiao Wu also said that the person in charge was a young girl.

The pageboy accepted the invitation and gestured towards the manor. “This way please.”

The three of them walked into the manor.

Suddenly, Yu Song’s back loosened. The strap on one side of his back broke and the basket fell down. The sweet potatoes and radishes inside fell out and rolled on the ground like pearls.

Yu Song hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but he was in such a hurry that he didn’t notice a carriage stop in front of him.

A maidservant jumped down from the carriage and coincidentally bumped into Yu Song.

The things that Yu Song had painstakingly picked up fell to the ground again, and the box in the maidservant’s hand also fell.

The lid of the box fell open with a bang, and the snacks scattered all over the floor.

The maidservant turned pale. “Aiya, my things!”

Yu Song was stunned.

Yu Feng and Yu Wan rushed over.

The maidservant said angrily, “Look at what you’ve done! It wasn’t easy for me to carry it until now! But you made me drop them! Now, my young miss is going to scold me to death!”

Yu Song looked at the snacks on the ground and muttered, “Aren’t they all fine? Just pick them up.”

“Pick it up?” The maidservant was fuming. What kind of person was this? It was already dirty, could she still pick it up and eat it?

Yu Song knew that he was in the wrong and lowered his head to stop arguing with her.

Yu Wan took a look at the snacks, opened her bag, and walked forward. She said to the maidservant, “I’m sorry we knocked your snacks away. I have a lot of snacks here too. My uncle made them himself. He used to be a chef in the Capital. His culinary skills are very good. Try and see if there’s anything you like.”

These were all made by her uncle for the little fellows. Not only did they taste very good, but the style was also very exquisite. Yu Wan was confident that they were definitely not inferior to the box of snacks that was broken.

If she liked it, she would compensate her with two boxes. If she didn’t like it, she would discuss other ways to compensate.

However, the maidservant didn’t even look at it—

“Who does your uncle think he is! How can he compare to Madam Du!”

The maidservant waved her hand and knocked all the snacks in Yu Wan’s bag to the ground!
