Chapter 27: Unease

The maidservant served everyone a bowl of fish soup.

Zhou Datong couldn't wait and took a sip, praising, "Delicious, delicious, so flavorful! Yanyan, I think the chef at Tianxiangju can't cook as well as you."

众人心里鄙夷,拍马屁也不用拍的这么夸张吧!

陆昭南也尝了一口,顿时愣住,看向周胖子,你也好意思拿天香居的大厨跟晏晏比,你家天香居的大厨简直屁都不是。

林景元看陆小王爷的反应心里咯噔一下,难道不好吃?

忐忑地喝了一口。

Um...

"Sis, did you really make this?" Lin Jingyuan couldn't help but question. Maybe she couldn't finish cooking it, so she secretly sent someone to buy a feast from outside and brought it back! This is just too delicious.

Lin Yannan laughed: "So what else? Ask Master Zhou, is there a famous restaurant in the capital that specializes in medicinal food?"

Without hesitation, Zhou Datong replied: "No."

He had visited almost every renowned restaurant in the capital, so he had the most authority to speak on this matter.

Lin Jingyuan chuckled, "Sis, you're really amazing. I'm in for a treat."

It's not surprising that he doubted, Sister's move was really extraordinary, completely unexpected.

Xiao Qian silently drank her soup, secretly admiring, whoever marries Yanyan in the future will be lucky.

Lin Yannan calmly accepted everyone's praise, showing no sign of blushing or excitement. In the world of medicinal herbs, she was knowledgeable about every herb that could be named, and her sense of taste was much more sensitive than the average person's, making seasoning a breeze for her.

With talent and dedication, it was not difficult for her to cook medicinal food.

"Jingcheng, eat more." Lin Yinyin noticed that Lin Jingcheng was a bit uncomfortable, so she took care of him more.

Everyone here was drinking peach blossom wine and eating delicious dishes.

In the Mingxiang Garden, Ms. Yao is on the verge of a breakdown. She received news that today, Imperial Censor Shi accused the Duke of Jinguo and Lord Lao of wrongdoing, and the Emperor declared that Zhu Ziyu and Lin Yannan's engagement should be investigated and annulled. In the afternoon, the Duke of Jinguo was summoned into the palace... and still hasn't come out.

Yao feels a storm is brewing, one that she cannot withstand.

What's even worse, if investigations reveal that she poisoned Yan Yan... that will be a disaster she cannot escape from.

When thinking of the old lady's reprimand and the master's furious rage upon his return, Yao Shi shuddered in fear.

"Madam, you have to think of a solution," Liu Ma urged anxiously. This was the biggest crisis Madam had encountered since entering the Marquis' residence.

“我还能有什么办法?”姚氏颓然,一筹莫展。

事情已经惊动皇上,连晋国公都得吃挂落,她能有什么办法?能找谁说情去?

She is now like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

"How about asking Old Master Yao?"

"No." Mrs. Yao resolutely shook her head. Not to mention that Old Master Yao is far away in Huizhou and unable to help with the immediate crisis, even if he were in the capital city, he would never stand up for her or plead on her behalf. It is already fortunate if he doesn't beat her to death with a cane.

"Aunt Liu, maybe this time, I really won't make it through." Yao cried, filled with remorse. If she had known, she should have stopped Zhu Ziyu's plan and prevented Lin Nannan from attending the Peach Blossom Banquet. Then Lin Nannan wouldn't have resorted to eating toxic buckeyes to lose weight according to her plan. At most, Lin Nannan would have lived for another six months, and all the problems would have been solved effortlessly.

Unfortunately, money can't buy regret.

Mrs. Liu bit her teeth and said, "Madam, when the time comes, you should just push all the blame onto the servant."

"It's useless." Yao Shi knew that Liu Ma was loyal, but this matter wasn't something Liu Ma could handle. Could it be that Liu Ma instigated Zhen Zhen? Even so, it would still be Zhen Zhen's fault, and Zhen Zhen's fault would be her fault.

“要么,咱们就说是朱公子诱惑二小姐,二小姐念着姊妹情分一再拒绝。”

姚氏目光一凛,颇为意动,但随即又摇头:“不行不行,这样岂不是把晋国公府得罪狠了?”

“夫人,眼下咱们自身难保,还管得罪谁?只能把二小姐摘出来,定安侯府就没有责任。”

姚氏很纠结。

“夫人,您快快定夺,万一皇上那边有了裁断,说什么都晚了。”刘妈催促道。

姚氏起身,在房中走来走去,须臾停下脚步,眼中透出一抹狠厉:“刘妈,就按你说的办,立即把话传出去。”大不了跟晋国公府断绝关系。

Liu Ma responded promptly and went to handle it immediately.

After Liu Ma left, Second Young Master Lin Jingxiu stormed in with an angry expression, lifted his clothes, and sat down on a chair.

"It infuriates me."

Yao Shi perked up: "What makes you so angry?"

"Everyone outside is gossiping about Second Miss, saying that she has no shame. What do they know? Also, I just went to Moyuan Pavilion, thinking that Tenth Prince and Prince Lu would be there, so I should say hello. But then that despicable girl Tan Yun blocked the door and a few guards from the Shen family stared at me fiercely."

"Hmph! Just a neglected prince, a proton, a glutton who only knows how to eat. What's so great about them? Who cares to befriend them." Lin Jingxiu said, with seven parts annoyance and three parts arrogance.

Yao Dao said, "You're right to think this way. There's no need to worry about such matters. You should focus on studying diligently. Father will be back in a few days and will definitely test your knowledge. Learn from your older brother in everything, see how composed he is and how well he distinguishes between important and trivial matters."

Speaking of his father, Lin Jingxiu showed a hint of fear in his eyes and immediately stood up: "I'm going back to study."

After her son left, Lady Yao sat there in a daze, feeling anxious.

Suddenly, a maid named Yin Hong rushed in anxiously: "Second Madam, there are people from the palace. The Dowager Empress is asking for you to go to the Ci'en Hall quickly."

"What?" Yao Shi exclaimed anxiously, her vision momentarily going black.

Inside the Mo Yuan Pavilion, a table filled with nourishing delicacies and a jar of fine wine brought joy to everyone as they ate and chatted merrily.

A young maid ran in and said, "Miss, someone has arrived from the palace. Madam requests that the young miss and the Fourth Young Master go to the Ci'en Hall immediately."

Xiao Qian was taken aback when she recognized the maid by the side of the fat lady who had pricked Lu Zhaonan's finger.

Lu Zhaonan also noticed and pointed at Tan Yun without saying a word. Translation: "

脑子有点乱,又好像发现了什么。

林晏晏扶额,檀云啊檀云,你就不能让我多保留几天好形象吗?

“宫里来人,要我和大姐前去,会是什么事儿?”林景元困惑,这事儿来的太突然了。

Xiao Qiandao: "I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but today, the Imperial Censor Shi accused the Duke of Jingguo and your second uncle, saying that they do not discipline their households properly and are ruining the moral standards."

He had wanted to say it earlier, but he never found the right opportunity, and now someone from the palace has arrived.

陆昭南一拍大腿:“肯定是因为这事儿,下午晋国公被皇上宣进宫去了。”

Lin Yannan's heart sank, sensing an impending danger.

周大同没心没肺:“你们干嘛表情这么严肃,该头疼的是晋国公和林侍郎,跟晏晏有什么关系,晏晏是受害者,说不定皇上是要安抚晏晏。”

Lü Zhaonan and Xiao Qian stared at Zhou Datong one after another, and you know nothing.
