518 Born to Win (1)

Of course, these were only the Second Old Master’s guesses. No one would ever know the truth.

Helian Beiming chatted with the Second Old Master for a while more. As he spoke, he saw the Second Old Master close his eyes.

Helian Beiming was stunned. “Second Uncle… fell asleep?”

No, he fainted from anger.

When Madam Li entered the courtyard and planned to cry to her father-in-law, Helian Beiming and Yu Shaoqing had already left. The Second Old Master was once again unconscious.

Helian Beiming did not say anything about Yu Shaoqing growing up in the Lotus Flower Village for the time being. After all, the culprit had yet to be executed, so it was better not to expose Little Bruiser’s existence.

“Does Little Bruiser look like you or Sister-in-law?” Helian Beiming asked his brother on the way back to the courtyard.

Yu Shaoqing said seriously, “Of course he’s like me!”

His daughter looked like Ah Shu, and his son looked like him. They were especially similar! It was obvious that they were his children!

Helian Beiming imagined what that child looked like and couldn’t help but smile. “If Mother sees Little Bruiser, she’ll definitely like him very much. But let’s not tell her for now, in case she’s in a hurry to see him and falls ill again.”

Of course. You don’t have to remind me! Yu Shaoqing did not have a good attitude towards his brother, who had burned paper money for him for thirty-five years. He snorted and returned to his room.

Initially, they didn’t know about this relationship and planned to move to the courtyard under Little Gu Elder’s name. Now, they couldn’t move even if they wanted to. When the two brothers went to the West Manor, Old Madam asked the servants to move Yu Shaoqing and Madam Jiang’s luggage into Wutong Courtyard.

The East Manor became even more lively.

The servants who worked in the East Manor had a tacit understanding that the East Manor was cold and cheerless. Every year, it becomes colder and colder. The East Manor was not populated. Previously, when Miss and Old Master were in the manor, they were barely passable. After that, one got married, while the other passed away. Later on, something happened to Madam Tan and Young Master. The manor that was not prosperous to begin with became even more empty.

The Old Madam and the General cut off all contact with the outside world. The servants realized that even the sparrows were unwilling to fly to the East Manor. The liveliness seemed to have always belonged to the West Manor. Every time they passed by the West Manor, they would be secretly envious.

The sky in the East Manor seemed to be gray, while the sky in the West Manor was blue and filled with rainbows.

But now, they no longer had to envy the West Manor.

Chef Liu was an old-timer in the East Manor. When the Old Master was still alive, he was already a chef in the manor. He had been working for thirty years and his grandson had already been born in the manor. He had never been as busy as he was recently. He was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground and he was so busy that he did not even have the time to drink water. However, he was happy to be so busy.

“Chef Liu, what are we cooking tonight?” The apprentice asked him.

Chef Liu smiled. “Cook whatever we have!”

Before the Young Master returned to the manor, the Old Madam had a picky appetite. However, ever since she recognized her little grandson, she ate whatever her little grandson and granddaughter-in-law ate.

As for the tastes of the Eldest Young Master, the Eldest Young Madam, and the three little masters, Chef Liu had more or less figured them out. The ingredients he bought were all their favorites. As for the Second Master and Second Madam, who had just returned to the manor, according to his observation, Chef Liu basically had a plan.

Two hours later, a large table of steaming dishes was served.

As a family, they should have a lively meal. Old Madam was not interested in setting the rules for her daughter-in-law. She held Madam Jiang’s hand and let her sit down beside her.

Madam Jiang was beautiful and sickly. She was extremely lovable.

Chef Liu made steamed egg custard, peppery tea mushroom prawns, crab roe tofu, braised mutton, winter melon meatball soup, sweet and sour radishes, stir-fried loofah, and a large bowl of glossy braised pork. The braised pork was accompanied by garlic cloves and green onions. Coincidentally, it was placed in front of Madam Jiang.

Little Sly Jiang: Onion! Garlic! Slurp!

The old madam did not know her daughter-in-law’s taste, so she picked up some of each dish.

Looking at the green onions and garlic cloves piled in his wife’s bowl, Yu Shaoqing’s temples throbbed. Ah Shu didn’t eat such a heavy food! Ah Shu was a lady!

Yu Shaoqing was about to take the vegetables from Madam Jiang’s bowl when Madam Jiang gently pressed his hand and said gently and softly, “It’s mother-in-law’s kindness. As your wife, I shouldn’t reject it.”

Yu Shaoqing was extremely touched. His Ah Shu was indeed the gentlest and most virtuous woman in the world.

The green onions and garlic cloves on the plate entered Madam Jiang’s stomach like a tornado.

The dumbfounded Yu Shaoqing: Ah-Ah Shu is trying to please Old Madam. It must be…
