Hearing this, Aunt Yue was slightly startled.
He quickly guessed in his mind, what exactly did Wen Qingzhu mean
"These days, the food cooked in the kitchen is not very appetizing. My aunt's cooking skills are so good. Qingzhu is greedy and wants to trouble her for some time."
When Aunt Yue heard this, she immediately thought of Ruyun and was shocked.
So that’s it!
"Since Miss Seven doesn't mind it and is now sick again, I will make some soup and make some delicious snacks to send over every day."
"Thank you so much, auntie." Wen Qingzhu knew in his heart that this aunt is indeed not simple.
"You're welcome, Miss Seven. You have a good rest, and I'll go back first." Aunt Yue stood up and bowed again to express her attitude to Wen Qingzhu.
After sending Aunt Yue away, Wen Qingzhu turned around and went to the inner room.
Lu Tao opened the box and rummaged for a while before finding Lu's dowry list.
This stack of lists had a finger-long hole torn in the middle, and each list was carefully glued together.
Looking back at the beginning, if these lists were not relatively thick, I would probably be torn in half.
After Wen Qingzhu counted them one by one, he found that Lu's dowry list was missing two items, but none of the keys to the warehouse were missing.
"Lv Tao, where is Mother Ye now?" Wen Qingzhu held the list with a serious look on his face.
Hearing this, Lu Tao burst into tears and choked up: "She, she is in the laundry room..."
"I'm sorry, it was me who made Mother Ye suffer." Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but regret it when he thought of what happened back then.
Lu Tao wiped her tears and shook her head: "It's okay! Just keep the lady's dowry!"
In the bedroom in the west courtyard, Wen Qinglan walked back and forth in front of Aunt Wu.
"Lan'er, sit down! It would be bad if your father comes and bumps into him." Aunt Wu had a headache and couldn't help scolding Wen Qinglan.
Wen Qinglan immediately stopped, stood in front of Aunt Wu, and said anxiously: "Mom! If this doesn't work, go and beg daddy, he will definitely help your daughter!"
Aunt Wu looked at her with pity and helplessness.
In recent days, Wen Shuquan never spent the night in her room, and she had no chance to mention Wen Qinglan's marriage.
Wen Qinglan turns thirteen this year, and the daughter of a normal family has long started to look at her.
But their third room lost their mistress early on.
As an aunt, she couldn't go out to find out.
Last time, she finally begged the old lady to go to Fengguo Temple, but things didn't go as she wished.
On the other side of her family, her sister-in-law said openly and secretly that Wen Qinglan's status was too low.
In addition, the guy in the east courtyard somehow became smarter and made Chunbi the scapegoat.
Wen Qinglan didn't notice for a moment, so she offended the old lady.
After this encounter, Aunt Wu lost both her wife and her troops, and was extremely angry.
Ever since the plan to arrange Lu's dowry list failed two years ago, she had fallen out with Dongyuan.
Originally, she wanted to destroy Wen Qingzhu's good reputation, then let the old lady make the decision to straighten him out, and then slowly plan for Lu's dowry.
Now that the previous plan had completely failed, she had to find another way.
Although she manages a three-bedroom home, she can make a lot of money.
But in the eyes of my sister-in-law, this oil and water is not enough at all!
If you want this sister-in-law to help, you must have more money!
"Dew!" Aunt Wu made a decision in her heart.
Dewdrops outside the curtain immediately came in, bowed her head and asked, "What are your orders, aunt?"
"How's Miss Seven doing lately?" Aunt Wu's idea slowly took shape.
Luzhu replied respectfully: "I made them all according to your instructions. Huan'er said that Miss Qi eats them every day."
"Ms. Lu taught her medical skills, didn't she see any problem at all?" Aunt Wu was taboo about this, so she only dared to administer a little chronic poison.
Luzhu replied: "These days, Huan'er has taken away Xi'er's work. Every time she returns the food box to the kitchen, I have seen it clearly, and it is always clean. Miss Seventh has been ill recently, and Aunt Yue I even went to see her.”
"Aunt Yue went to the east courtyard?" Aunt Wu frowned.
"Yes, I heard that she was visiting a doctor. She also said that when she saw Miss Qi's complexion was not good, she made soup and sent it to her every day." Luzhu reported one by one.
Aunt Wu thought for a while, and then asked: "Where is Ruyun? Have you got the key?"
When Luzhu heard this, she lowered her head: "My servant is not doing well. Although Ruyun agreed, she has not sent any news for a long time. She has been ill for the past two days, so I took the opportunity to go over and explore the situation."
"Okay! You should come here as soon as possible." Aunt Wu nodded, changed the subject, and lowered her voice, "More weight will be added to the meal tomorrow!"
Luzhu raised her eyes suddenly, and finally nodded in agreement.
Before noon the next day, Lu Tao called Huan'er over.
"This is five taels of silver. You ask the kitchen to prepare four dishes and one soup. Miss wants to eat better." Lu Tao looked at her weak look and became increasingly unhappy.
But when she thought that it was her fault, Lu Tao endured it.
Seeing the silver, Huan'er immediately opened her eyes and grabbed it.
She was about to say yes, but her words changed again: "How can this little silver be enough! At least ten taels of silver!"
Lu Tao was not angry, but according to Wen Qingzhu's plan, she still took out another five taels of silver.
Taking the money, Huan'er happily went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, after handing five coins to Mrs. Li who was in charge, Huan'er said arrogantly: "Miss Qi wants four dishes and one soup. You cook them well. I'll pick them up later!"
Mother Li was so angry that she wanted to throw the money back into Huan'er's face, but thinking of Miss Luzhu's instructions, she could only hold back for the time being.
Huan'er returned to the house carrying the food box. She wanted to complain a few words and then try to extort Wen Qingzhu a few taels of money.
As a result, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Uncle Wen sitting inside before she opened her mouth.
Uncle Wen turned around and when he saw Huan'er's face, his voice suddenly dropped: "Don't you understand the rules?"
Huan'er was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground: "Yes, I have met the third master."
Uncle Wen snorted coldly, and Lu Tao quickly took the food box, deliberately letting Huan'er kneel down and not move.
"Father, don't be angry. This Huan'er was assigned to Zhu'er by Aunt Wu. She knows all the rules." Wen Qingzhu explained in a gentle voice.
Huan'er heard this and hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes! This slave belongs to Aunt Wu!"
Hearing this, Wen Shuquan's face became even more gloomy.
He glanced around the room and found that there was almost nothing decent in the room. There were only three maids including the one who cleaned the yard.
Uncle Wen was thinking deeply while tapping the table with his ring finger.
After Lu Tao had laid out the food, Wen Qingzhu personally gave him a piece of pork belly.
Wen Shuquan did not move his chopsticks. He looked at the dishes and asked, "Does Zhuer usually eat these things?"
"The master came and the servants gave the kitchen ten taels of silver to do this!" Lu Tao couldn't help complaining.
