I want to make progress

Chapter 37 If you are not deaf or dumb, you cannot be a patriarch
After glancing at Shu Yunfu and the greasy barbecue grill, a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashed across her eyes, and Liu refused without hesitation.

Seeing that Liu was about to leave, Shu Yunfu quickly asked the servants to prepare a plate of barbecue and a large bowl of fish balls, "Madam, you have worked hard for the mansion, so you can't stay for long. Then take it back and eat it. Although it is not as good as a proper meal, it has a different taste."

Raising her eyebrows and looking at Shu Yunfu, Liu just gave a fake smile, then turned around and told the two children, "You two must follow your grandfather and be obedient. Also, don't eat too much messy food, okay?"

The two little guys moved their big eyes around restlessly, glancing at Shu Yunfu beside them, but they could only nod obediently with apologetic expressions.

As the person involved, if it weren't for her good acting skills, Shu Yunfu would have almost lost the smile on her face. What does this mean!

She is still here. If you don't like me, then you don't like me. And you have to show disdain for me in front of her. What kind of person is this!
If she hadn't been the Duchess of England, and if she hadn't thought about having to live under her control for a long time, she really wanted to slap her in the face, snatch back the food she had just given her, and give her face!
You didn't say thank you for taking care of the two kids, and there's no need to be so disgusted in front of her. At least you have to do some face-saving work. Such behavior of not giving her face in front of her is the greatest contempt for her.

It’s really…it’s really…so unpleasant!

"Okay, okay, let's continue. By the way, aren't the fish balls ready? Give me a bowl so I can try some."

The old Duke was a man who didn't quite understand women's minds, but Liu's attitude was indeed too obvious, and he couldn't say he didn't understand.

But if you are not deaf or dumb, you should not be a father-in-law. What's more, one is the wife of the eldest son who has inherited the family business, and the other is the concubine of the second son with whom he has no feelings. There is no need to compare which one is more important, so it can only be mentioned lightly.

Shu Yunfu was not angry either. She took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in her chest, turned her head and smiled at the three people over there, "Great! Fish balls are light and delicious, and are more suitable for you than the heavy oil and strong flavor of barbecue. If you like it, eat two more bowls."

He bent down again, tapped the noses of the two uneasy little guys and said with a smile: "And you two too!"

"Thank you Aunt Shu!"

"I want two bowls!"

Although the two little guys were of noble status, they were not as arrogant and rude as their mother, and they were very respectful to Shu Yunfu. Seeing that Shu Yunfu did not hate them, they smiled happily, revealing a row of cute little pearly teeth like rice grains.

"Two bowls? You just ate so much barbecue, can you still eat so much?"

Touching the two little ones' round bellies, Shu Yunfu laughed so hard that she fell over. It turned out that the cuteness of human cubs was enough to cure any bad mood.

Even if she didn't think they were cute, and only considered Gu Changting's face, she would not vent her anger on these two little things.

Putting aside those unhappy emotions, several people started to have fun again. As for the fish balls and barbecue, some people did not know how to appreciate them, but there were always people who liked them.

She had someone pack a lot of fish balls and barbecue, one portion sent to the old lady and one portion to her stepmother-in-law, who were praised for it. Even the maids who delivered the food received a lot of rewards and were all smiling.

Of course, she also caught a lot. The fish bit her hook one by one, and the wooden barrel beside her was soon full, which made the old Duke who claimed that he often fished in the farm very jealous.

If she hadn't been afraid that the old Duke would lose face, she would have laughed out loud at the jealous look in his eyes. Several people spent the whole afternoon happily by the lotus pond, and when they left, they all left with a full harvest and satisfied smiles on their faces.

The old Duke and the two little ones were even as happy as children. They carried the fish they had caught and said that they wanted the kitchen to cook the fish they had caught into a dish in the evening for everyone to eat together.

With that show-off look on their faces, no one would believe that they weren't real grandparents and grandchildren.

Shu Yunfu naturally would not pour cold water on them. Not only did she contribute her own bucket of fish without competing with them, she also generously contributed several fish recipes. It is estimated that most of the dishes on the dinner table tonight will be made with various fish.

She returned to her yard with a smile on her face, waved away the servants, and the smile on Shu Yunfu's face gradually faded.

The smile on Yuyan's face also disappeared, and she only looked at her master with heartache, "Auntie...Miss, don't be angry. That Liu just relied on her good family background to marry a good husband. Don't argue with her. She is just short-sighted. She only sees the small piece of land in the backyard of the Duke of Ying's mansion."

Everything has become out of control since that accident. If it weren't for Gu Changheng, the young lady would never have endured such humiliation and been looked down upon like this.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not angry." Seeing this girl so worried, Shu Yunfu couldn't help but laugh, and her heart instantly felt relieved. "But you're right, I don't need to argue with her. My goal is different from hers, it's just..."

He leaned his head on the ground and pursed his lips in grievance, "I am very unhappy that I can't fight back when someone looks down on me like that."

"Yuyan, you say..." Suddenly, the corner of his eye curled up and he looked at Yuyan with a wicked smile, "Should I cause some trouble for our Duke's wife, hehe..."

"Ah? Miss, what do you want to do?"

Suddenly she felt a little nervous. She didn't want the young lady to be angry, but now they were living in the Duke of England's Mansion, and the mistress who controlled the entire Duke of England's Mansion was Liu, the Lady of the Duke of England. It would be very dangerous to cause trouble for her.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to expose myself, your lady."

Yuyan was right. Although Liu had a high status and a good family background, she was ultimately just a woman in the harem. Even though she had received a good education, her vision and her world were really small. She just revolved around her parents-in-law, her husband, her children, and the harem.

It is easy to strangle her vital point, and coincidentally, her most important vital point is in her hand.

"Send some food to the Duke and the Second Master as well. The whole family has sent food, so there's no reason to leave them out. By the way, send a message to the Duke, saying that the follow-up to that incident should have a result."

"Miss, you want to..."

"Hmm~!"

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Shu Yunfu smiled and took an apple for herself, taking bites of it. The apple was so sweet!
But these are all trivial matters. Her goals and Liu's have always been different. In her eyes, these disputes are nothing more than trivial matters and cannot affect her mood. She cares about other things.
