In the kitchen, mothers and mothers-in-law stepped aside.
Wen Qingzhu put on an apron and started kneading the dough.
"Look, you have to choose the best refined flour for this flour. You can crush the lotus petals into foam, or you can cut them into small pieces visible to the naked eye..."
Wen Qinghe stood beside her, with the exact same raw materials in front of her.
When Wen Qingzhu took a step, she followed suit.
Half an hour later, the two-point lotus cake was freshly baked.
Wen Qinghe looked at his own and then at Wen Qingzhu's, his cheeks heating up slightly.
Her crooked appearance was completely shapeless when evaporated.
Wen Qingzhu's hair is neat and round, making him appetizing just by looking at it.
"Seventh sister, I obviously did the same thing as you..."
Wen Qingzhu took off his apron and handed it to Lu Tao. He turned to her and said, "The main thing is the strength of the dough. Just remember the steps. If you practice more in the future, sooner or later you will be the same as me."
"Um!"
Wen Qingzhu's words encouraged Wen Qinghe.
After putting away the two pastries, the two returned to the front hall.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the real aunt sitting on the main seat.
Seeing them coming, the real aunt put down the melon seeds in her hand, stood up and stepped forward.
"Miss Seven hasn't left yet."
Wen Qingzhu still ignored her and turned to look at Wen Qinghe: "Where is the third sister? Let's give the cakes to the third sister to try."
Wen Qinghe couldn't help but nodded immediately: "Okay, okay! Third sister is in the backyard, I will take you there right now."
The two of them just ignored the real aunt and went to the backyard.
Staring at their leaving figures, the real aunt was so angry that her silver teeth almost broke.
"jasper!"
Biyu, who was standing next to her, immediately walked out and whispered back: "Auntie."
"Snapped!"
The real aunt slapped Biyu in the face with her backhand.
She was not very strong, but Biyu still took several steps back, and a bright red slap mark suddenly appeared on her face.
"I asked you to keep an eye on them!"
Biyu quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Auntie, have mercy on me, it's Miss Seventh Miss's girl Jasmine who is dragging me to say this and that, and I can't leave!"
The true aunt was still angry and resentful. She stepped forward and kicked Biyu in the heart.
"I asked you to keep an eye on them! It's better for you! I was tripped by a girl! If you do things like this next time, you have seen Lulu's fate!"
When Biyu heard Luzhu's name, her face was instantly defeated.
She crawled to her true aunt's feet on her knees and kowtowed tremblingly: "I know this! I won't do it next time!"
In the backyard, Wen Qingzhu finally met Wen Qinglian, the third young lady of the Wen family.
Wen Qinglian in her previous life never left Liuyuan.
Not to mention her, even Wen Qingxin, who was making trouble all over the Wen family, had never seen Wen Qinglian.
When he saw Wen Qinglian, Wen Qingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although Wen Qinghe is cute and cute, her appearance takes after He's.
But Wen Qinglian is secretly on the contrary. Her facial features are not delicate, but when combined, they have a unique elegant style.
"Third sister." Wen Qingzhu called her.
Only then did Wen Qinglian realize that there was someone else there. When she looked up, her eyes were blank.
Wen Qinghe hurried forward, took her hand and explained: "This is the third uncle's eldest daughter, the seventh sister."
Wen Qinglian hurriedly stood up, knelt down and saluted: "I've met Miss Seven."
"Third sister, you're welcome." Wen Qingzhu hurriedly helped her up.
After learning her identity, Wen Qinglian was very restrained and kept her head down, not daring to raise her eyes at all.
Seeing this situation, Wen Qingzhu suggested: "Qinghe, when you came in just now, you saw a wintersweet tree in the courtyard. Can you take me to take a look?"
"Okay!" Wen Qinghe didn't think much, got up and took her out.
When Wen Qingzhu stood up, he found that Wen Qinglian suddenly raised his head with worried eyes.
After getting up, Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly at Wen Qinglian, conveying her kindness.
Wen Qinglian was startled and watched them go out blankly.
When I got to the yard, I stood under the wintersweet tree.
Wen Qingzhu asked Wen Qinghe tactfully: "Does Third Sister hardly go out?"
"Well, in my impression, Sister A has never left Liuyuan. Many times, I wanted to ask her to go out with me, but she refused."
Speaking of this, Wen Qinghe felt a little lonely.
Recalling the situation just now, Wen Qinglian's temperament was very timid.
And after hearing that she was the eldest daughter, she immediately knelt down and saluted.
Although the second wife is a concubine, Wen Qinglian is the direct daughter of the second wife.
Although his status is not as good as hers, there is no need to salute her.
At this time, Xiaoman suddenly shouted at the hanging flower door in front: "Come out!"
Wen Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was being spied on, and immediately ran over with Xiaoman.
Just as Wen Qingzhu was about to speak, Jasmine came in through another hanging flower door.
After walking to her side, she reported in a low voice: "Miss, someone from True Auntie's side has gone to Zimingtang."
Setting off so soon!
Wen Qingzhu tilted his head slightly and whispered: "When we get out, we will act according to the plan."
"Yes." Jasmine lowered her hands and stood aside.
After a while, Wen Qinghe ran back panting.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Seventh Sister, you should go back today! From now on, I will go to your place to find you."
Wen Qinghe looked apologetic, as if he had something to hide.
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu just saved the excuse for leaving.
All the way out of Liuyuan, Wen Qingzhu discovered that someone seemed to be peeping behind him.
It seems that Liuyuan is not a stable place either.
After coming out, the three of them walked to the fourth-bedroom Fuyuan together.
At this time, the fourth lady's maid, Su Xin, should be sending the tonic soup to Zimingtang.
Standing outside the courtyard wall at the back of Fuyuan, Wen Qingzhu looked up at the small round mirror on the wall.
This was what she had ordered Jasmine to place in advance.
Using the refraction of light, you can see whether someone is passing by inside the courtyard wall.
Soon, two little maids passed by.
Wen Qingzhu and the other two people standing outside the wall heard their conversation clearly.
After holding her breath and waiting until the maids left, Lu Tao was surprised and said, "How do you know the walls here are not soundproof?"
Wen Qingzhu thought of some bad memories in his mind, smiled and said nothing.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Wen Qingxin for this.
"Miss." Jasmine kept staring at the small round mirror and suddenly reminded them in a low voice.
Lu Tao stopped talking immediately.
When Su Xin approached with the tonic soup, Lu Tao held her voice and said: "Hey, have you heard? Biyu in the second bedroom has been the fifth young master's wife for a long time. The last time Miss Eleven was drugged, it was basically... The second room did it on purpose."
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu casually changed his tone.
"That's not the case! It's strange to say that I've seen Biyu come into contact with Sanfang and Luyu next to Aunt Wu before!"
Lu Tao played the role of the talkative maid seriously, and her expressions became lively.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and continued her words: "These two aunts actually interact with each other! The old lady hates the second wife the most, and Aunt Wu still dares to interact with the real aunt..."
After saying that, Wen Qingzhu looked up at the small round mirror.
He found that Su Xin had moved closer to the wall without knowing it, and he wanted to put his ear to the wall.
Lu Tao and Jasmine naturally saw it too.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes signaled to Jasmine: It's time to take action.
Jasmine nodded.
After checking their eyes, the three of them split up.
There was suddenly no sound outside the wall, so Su Xin simply put her ear to the wall.
Unfortunately, only footsteps were heard.
The fourth lady has been investigating this matter these days, and Su Xin is not willing to let it go.
She held the porcelain cup and hurriedly ran towards the front exit.
When I went out, I saw a white figure turning into the corner.
what to do
Su Xin quickly put down the porcelain cup, gritted her teeth and ran quickly, chasing the white shadow to the east.
After Su Xin had walked away for a while, Wen Qingzhu appeared from behind the big tree.
"We can go back and wait for news." Wen Qingzhu raised his hand.
Jasmine was relieved when she was doing things.
Yanyuan East Courtyard.
Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the desk, holding a brush and writing seriously.
"Miss! Jasmine is back!"
Lu Tao stood at the door and turned to shout at her.
"Um."
After answering, Wen Qingzhu finished writing the last tick before putting down the brush.
Jasmine walked into the room, stood in front of her, and reported with lowered hands: "Miss, everything is done. Su Xin should be back in Fuyuan now."
"That's good, let's just wait quietly." A smile appeared on Wen Qingzhu's lips, and his eyes gradually deepened.
On the rice paper in front of her, the word 'Jing' was written in italics.
As long as Aunt Wu, the person behind the scenes, can endure it and calm down for a while.
Wen Qingzhu would not find such a suitable opportunity to expose her to everyone.
Although the fourth wife, Mrs. Yang, is not very smart, the old lady came from a group of aunts who fought for her.
In Fuyuan.
Su Xin told Mr. Yang word for word what she heard.
Yang immediately slammed the table and said angrily: "It was Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhen who teamed up to harm our fourth room!"
Su Xin was also shocked: "Then what is Madam going to do now?"
"Of course I'll capture them and beat them a hundred times! Then I'll take control of the previous medicine and sell it out!" Yang did not hesitate.
In Yang's eyes, no matter how high her status is, her aunt is still a slave and can be sold at will.
Su Xin hurriedly advised: "Madam! You can't do it! They are not the aunts of our fourth room!"
"So what!" Yang didn't care at all.
Su thought about it and finally suggested: "Why don't you ask the old lady, she loves you very much and will definitely make the decision for you!"
"Yes! Go find aunt!" Yang suddenly realized.
Without staying for a second, she hurried to Fushou Hall with Su Xin.
That night, there was no movement in the Fushou Hall, and there was no movement in the four-bedroom Fuyuan.
When Jasmine came back to report, Wen Qingzhu was not surprised.
"Miss, we have told them the truth, why don't they take action?" Lu Tao was very confused.
Wen Qingzhu sat in front of the dressing table, looked at himself in the mirror, and sighed slightly: "Grandma is a grandmother after all. If we tell her so openly, she still has to be suspicious."
"Then the old lady just forgets it?" Lu Tao was very dissatisfied.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, grandma will not let Aunt Zhen off so easily, and Fourth Aunt will not let off Aunt Wu so easily. They..."
"What's wrong?"
"They are bound to retaliate."
