âYes. My daughter has no other intentions, but she is worried that the distinguished guests in the mansion are not used to it, so she wants to add two dishes to the kitchen. My daughter specially handed the pastry to the cook, and told no one to mention the origin of the two pastries. The daughterâs hand.â Wei Qingwan explained softly without panicking.
Before doing anything, he had expected that Yunâs would come to ask, so he had already prepared the words to respond.
Mr. Yun sighed: âNext time you have such thoughts, you should tell Wei Niang in advance. If you donât tell me, doing this in private is somewhat against the rules.â
âItâs my daughterâs fault. My daughter thought things were simple, thinking that she just prepared two more pastries, and outsiders would just think it was prepared by Fuchuâs kitchen, so she didnât think too much about it.â
Wei Qingwanâs explanation is almost the same as what Yunâs guessed in his heart.
Sure enough, what she thought was right, her daughter was simply thinking about her family.
After all, before this, everyone didnât know that Ruoerâs maid cooking skills were so good, and there was no problem with extra preparation.
âForget it, nothing went wrong anyway, itâs just that your father doesnât approve of your behavior, so donât do such a thing privately next time.â Yun urged.
âFather⊠is he angry?â Wei Qingwan was startled.
âIâm not angry with you, I just think itâs wrong for you to do this.â Yun said.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan lowered her head sadly, tears of grievance lingering in her eyes.
Seeing this, Yun added: âYour father didnât mean to blame you, but he was worried that you had other thoughts. I have already told him about it, and he also hoped that I just thought too much. Later, my mother will explain it to him again. of.â
Wei Qingwan bit her lips: âMother Mingjian, my daughter has no other thoughts. I made a mistake a few days ago, and during the days when I stayed behind closed doors, I was already deeply introspective. Dare to have other thoughts.â
âMy mother banned you because I hope you can reflect on it, and you will have a better way to deal with this kind of thing next time. Now that you are aware of your own problems, mother is very pleased.â
âMy daughter knows about it, so my daughter doesnât resent mother at all.â
âWell, itâs good that you can think like this.â Yun nodded in relief.
âBy the way, mother, how do you rate todayâs meal?â Wei Qingwan asked.
âExcellent evaluation, very satisfied.â Yun replied.
âReally? Thatâs really great.â Wei Qingwanâs face was full of joy.
âHowever, the distinguished guests didnât eat your two pastries.â Yun said.
âDidnât eat?â Wei Qingwanâs expression froze, and the joy on her face froze a bit.
âThe dishes on the table are full, and when the cakes came out, I lost my appetite. I heard that Mr. Lu took a bite, but it didnât satisfy his appetite.â Yun said.
Regarding this matter, Yun was also very surprised. Her daughterâs sweet-scented osmanthus cake and almond cakes were the best, but she never expected that they would be compared by the eldest daughterâs maid.
The smile on Wei Qingwanâs face became a bit forced, but she still praised: âThe dishes cooked by my sisterâs maid should be very delicious.â
âI have never tasted it as a mother. Now it seems that the brothers and sisters of the Xie family did not just say it casually. There is indeed some basis.â Yun said with emotion.
âHmmâŠâ Wei Qingwan responded in a low voice, with a forced smile.
Yun Shi chatted with Wei Qingwan for a while and then left.
After Yun Shi left, the smile on Wei Qingwanâs face completely disappeared.
Why did things turn out like this?
She really didnât plan to rely on two plates of pastries for anything, but in her plan, she could at least contribute to the family.
But now the result is just the opposite. The huge gap made her feel sour.

In the afternoon, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were resting in the yard when news came from the front yard that Nanny Qin had come and brought a lot of rewards.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei came to the front yard. There were already several boxes piled up in the yard, and there were still people moving them into the mansion.
When Wei Ruo saw Chu Lanâs subordinate who came in with a plate of gold, Wei Ruo instantly felt that the table of food cooked for Chu Lan at noon today was a bit crude. According to this standard, he will cook another sixteen dishes it is also fine!
Nurse Qin came to Wei Ruo and gave the list of rewards to Wei Ruo: âMiss Wei, this old servant is ordered by my son to give these things to Miss Wei.â
Because Chu Lanâs identity was not clearly stated, so I can only say a gift instead of a reward.
âIâd like to ask Mammy to pass the message on your behalf. The daughter of the people thanked Mr. Chu.â Wei Ruo said.
Immediately afterwards, Mother Qin said: âIn addition, the young master also ordered the old slave to bring back the planting records of the rice fields in the south of the city.â
âItâs ready, Meimei, go get it.â Wei Ruo told Xiumei to get the planting records.
âThank you, Miss Wei.â Nanny Qin said.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yun came over and thanked Mother Qin: âI am sorry to trouble Mother Qin today.â
Nurse Qin responded politely: âThis old slave is just following orders, and it is my duty to share the masterâs worries and problems.â
Xiumei put the planting records prepared by Wei Ruo in advance in a brocade box, and asked Nanny Qin to check on the spot that there was no problem before handing it over to Nanny Qin.
After Mother Qin and the others left, Mrs. Yun looked at the rewards in the yard, and after thinking for a while, asked all the servants to move to Tingsong Garden.
âGo and sort it out. If you canât fit in Songyuan, just put it in the big warehouse. Make the list and hand it to me, and Iâll keep it for you.â Yun said.
Wei Ruo nodded, and then asked someone to send the things to Tingsongyuan.
Although the ear room in Songyuan that she used as a warehouse has limited space, she still has a storage space, so there is absolutely no problem of not having enough space.
But in order not to arouse suspicion, Wei Ruo would still take some boxes to the large warehouse in Fuchu.
The last time Xieâs family sent a bunch of gifts over, it had filled Wei Ruoâs big warehouse to the brim, and this time there was such a huge pile, if they really put all of them in, no one would suspect that there would be a ghost, So something that takes up space has to be brought out.
Of course, there will be no valuables in the boxes in the big warehouse. Wei Ruo is still used to keeping valuables with him.
After moving everything back to Tingsongyuan, Xiumei checked it all over, and the first thing she took stock of was the conspicuous plate of gold.
âMiss, there must be a hundred taels of gold here!â
âWell, the list says a hundred taels of gold.â
âThatâs great miss, you have money to buy land again!â Xiumei couldnât help but said happily.
âWell, buy more fields! More houses!â
She has been short of liquidity recently, and she has invested a lot of money, which is the time when she is short of money.
This Chu Lan is considered kind, she really gave her something yellow and white, which can be regarded as a little relief of her resentment towards him, it can only be said to be relief, it is impossible to completely eliminate it like this.
