After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 355: I am afraid it will lead to a fatal disaster

"If you think it tastes good, then eat more." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Hmm." Lu Shuangshuang nodded. She wanted to turn her grief and anger into strength and eat heartily.

So what if he's the emperor?
Maybe he has never eaten such delicious roast duck.

Thinking of this, Lu Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, are you sure that in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, except for our restaurant, no one can make this kind of roast duck?"

"Of course." Qiao Jingjing said confidently.

Hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang became even happier.

Before I knew it, I ate too much.

She held her round belly and said contentedly, "When our roast duck restaurant officially opens, I will definitely go to support it."

"It's settled then." Qiao Jingjing was in a good mood.

The roast duck made by Master Li is becoming more and more authentic in taste. She is more confident about the official opening of the shop in two days.

Today, after she and Lu Shuangshuang left the palace, they passed by Qingfeng Tower on their way back home. She suddenly felt like eating roast duck, so she went in and ordered two.

After Qingfenglou's renovation, it has not yet officially opened, but in order to improve his skills, Master Li makes roast duck every day. That's why she was able to order roast duck even when she placed an order at the last minute.

Of course, in order to save ingredients, Chef Li now only makes two a day.

After Lu Shuangshuang returned to the yard, Qiao Jingjing was planning to go to the Duke's Mansion, but saw Lu Xingzhi coming back. She hurriedly took his hand and asked about her father welcoming her mother's tablet today.

She was originally going to go with them today, but the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned her to the palace, so she had no choice but to let Lu Xingzhi go to help.

"Everything went smoothly. My mother-in-law's tablet has been brought into the Duke's Mansion." Lu Xingzhi said in a gentle voice.

"That's good." Qiao Jingjing felt relieved.

What the two of them didn't know was that when Qin Moyuan welcomed Yu Fei'er's tablet back to his mansion today, the news spread like wildfire in the capital, attracting many people to watch. Some praised Qin Moyuan for his loyalty and righteousness, while others were puzzled as to what he had done.

Among the crowd watching the excitement, there was a woman who was so shocked when she heard what happened that she dropped the things in her hands to the ground without even being able to react.

She ran back home in a hurry.

She lives in a village outside Beijing and came to Beijing to buy New Year's goods.

She ran all the way back home, and when she saw the woman sitting in the yard, she immediately calmed down.

"Xiao Cui, why did you come back so early?" The woman saw that she came back empty-handed and was a little curious, "Where are the candied haws you promised me? Why didn't you buy them for me?"

Xiao Cui scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, "I forgot."

"How come you are as forgetful as me?" the woman muttered.

Looking at the woman's tanned face, Xiao Cui felt very apologetic.

She had no ability and could only let the young lady live a hard life with her.

The once beautiful face has long been replaced by haggardness and old age.

Facing the woman's doubts, Xiao Cui approached and coaxed her: "Next time I go to the city, I will definitely bring it to you."

"Then you have to keep your word." The woman hooked her fingers and made love with her.

Xiao Cui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't show any impatience at all, "Okay."

Not long after, Xiao Cui's husband and son came back.

"Mom, what delicious food did you buy in the city today?" The son started yelling as he entered the door.

Xiao Cui's husband and son are both hunters. It is winter now and it is difficult to hunt prey. Fortunately, the father and son are diligent. Before winter, they hunted a lot of prey and exchanged them for a lot of silver, so there is still some surplus food at home.

Today, Xiao Cui went into the city, originally planning to buy New Year's goods, but unexpectedly, she heard such shocking news.

She was worried about something and didn't have the energy to deal with her son. She just said, "I went into the city today and forgot to bring money, so I didn't buy anything." Hearing this, her son complained, "I finally got into the city, but you were so careless."

Zhao Dali, Xiao Cui's man, slapped him on the back of his head when he heard this, "How do you talk to your mother?"

His son Zhao Junsheng suddenly didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing this, the woman waved to him and said, "Come here, auntie has something delicious for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junsheng quickly put down his bow and arrow, and approached with a smile, "Aunt, what's delicious?"

The woman looked at Xiao Cui and saw that she was not paying attention to them, so she took out an egg from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Junsheng's hand, whispering, "Eat it quickly, I saved it for you."

"Thank you, aunt." Zhao Junsheng sat beside the woman contentedly, secretly peeled the eggshell, and then he and the woman each ate half.

Xiao Cui found it very funny but pretended not to see anything. She took her husband's hand, went into the house, and told him what she had heard in Beijing.

Zhao Dali was surprised when he heard this, "Why did Duke Qin want to marry Junsheng's aunt's tablet?"

"I don't know either." Xiao Cui frowned, also confused.

"Didn't Duke Qin marry that evil woman back then?" Zhao Dali said.

Although they seldom went into the city often, and in order to conceal their whereabouts, they had only been into the city a handful of times in the past decade or so, they had heard about the Duke of Qin marrying Yu Feng'er.

However, during this period of time, they did not enter the city, so naturally they did not know that Yu was dead.

"You go into the city to investigate tomorrow." Xiao Cui said after thinking for a while.

She couldn't sleep until this doubt was resolved.

She has been living in seclusion in Zhaojia Village with her young lady for nearly twenty years and really doesn't want any more trouble.

She just hopes that the young lady and her family will be well for the rest of their lives.

"Okay, I will go into the city early tomorrow morning." Zhao Dali nodded in agreement.

After the couple agreed, they felt relieved for the time being.

The next morning, Zhao Dali entered the city.

Because of the big commotion caused by Qin Moyuan's wedding tablet yesterday, everyone in the capital is still discussing the matter enthusiastically today.

Zhao Dali found out easily and learned that Yu was dead. He also heard from the people that Duke Qin was originally going to marry Yu Feng'er's sister Yu Fei'er, but was deceived by the Yu family and married Yu Feng'er.

Some time ago, Duke Qin finally learned the truth, and his only son was not born to Yu Feng'er, but to his younger sister Yu Fei'er.

When Zhao Dali heard the news, he was so excited that tears came out.

God is watching over us. That vicious woman named Yu finally got the retribution she deserved.

At that moment, Zhao Dali hurried home and told Xiao Cui about this important event.

When Xiao Cui heard this, she burst into tears. She held her husband's hand and kept asking, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true. These things happened not long ago, and the people in the city are still talking about it." Zhao Dali said excitedly.

Once Yu died, their family no longer had to hide.

"If this is true, then could Prince Qin be the young lady's son?" Xiao Cui asked hopefully.

Zhao Dali shook his head. "I don't know about this either. How about I go into the city tomorrow and try to find out more?"

"This is the only way." Xiao Cui nodded.

Thinking of Yu's cruelty back then, she worriedly told him, "Do everything within your ability and don't be impulsive."

Although Mrs. Yu is dead, the Yu family is still alive. Judging from the fact that they cruelly abandoned the young lady in the other courtyard, there are no good people in the Yu family.

Until the matter is clarified, the young lady's affairs must not be leaked rashly, otherwise, it will bring disaster upon oneself again.
