Mu Qingyang, the Patriarch of the Mu Mansion, is very busy on weekdays and often goes back home late at night, so the Mu Mansion's dinner is often served in their respective yards, and it is rare for everyone to gather in the dining room.

On this day, Mu Qingyang returned to the mansion early. Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Xia sat on either side of him. Mrs. Meng, the fourth wife, sat on the other side of Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu are all in their 24s. Mrs. Jiang comes from a scholarly family, while Mrs. Liu is the daughter of a merchant. Both of them were brought into the mansion after Mu Qingyang met while doing business outside.

Mu Qingyang doesn't have many heirs, except for Liuyun and Yuchen, the pair of direct children, Lin's sons and daughters Lan Xi and Hongjing, Xia's daughter Jinhan, fourth wife Meng's daughters Siya, Jiang Shi and Liu had been pregnant for a few years in the mansion, but unfortunately they both had miscarriages before the full term, and no wife has ever been pregnant since then.

Among the several daughters, Lan Xi is the most outstanding. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is known as the number one talented woman in Linyang City, so she is the most favored by Mu Qingyang. Mu Qingyang dotes on Lan Xi the most.

Liu Yun was the last one to arrive. As soon as she stepped into the dining room, countless eyes were cast on her, with different expressions, but Liu Yun ignored anyone indifferently, walked straight towards Mu Qingyang, and then slightly blessed her body. "Father, my daughter is late."

Such decency and politeness surprised everyone.

"Let's take a seat." Mu Qingyang waved his hand, and Liuyun sat beside Yuchen, and the servants began to serve the dishes.

Lin is not yet forty, she is well-maintained and radiant, she covered her mouth with a smile and said: "It happens that everyone is here today, so let's try these newly made dishes in the kitchen, this is the main thing in the old lady's birthday banquet Eighteen dishes."

Mu Qingyang glanced at Lin who was beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Ru Yu."

"What did the master say? I am too happy to be able to hold a birthday banquet for the old madam." Lin smiled slightly at Mu Qingyang, with anticipation flashing across her eyes, as if she was inviting something, Mu Qingyang turned towards Mu Qingyang She nodded slightly, then lowered her head shyly.

Mrs. Xia didn't say anything, but Mrs. Liu, who was sitting at the end, couldn't help raising her eyebrows and mockingly, "My sister is so busy, the master is so distressed."

"Spoof." Mu Qingyang treats Mrs. Liu well. Among the concubines, she is the only one with a straightforward personality. She has seen a lot of dignified and generous ladies, so this kind of charming woman is a bit more attractive. .

Lin's complexion froze, and she was about to speak when the steward of the kitchen had already brought a group of servants to serve the dishes, and while standing by the side, she introduced, "This is three fresh scallops, hibiscus prawns, shredded money, and phoenix spreading its wings. Gold cake duck tongue, Xueyue mutton, bergamot gold roll, pearl mandarin fish, mandarin duck fish dates..."

Looking at the delicate dishes in front of him, Liu Yun suddenly remembered some things from his previous life. The Lin family also prepared the grandma's birthday banquet in the same way, presenting the most luxurious delicacies from mountains and seas as much as possible, and invited the retired from the palace. The old imperial chef is in charge of cooking, and he does all kinds of tricks to please the old lady.

Who would have imagined that the old lady is a vegetarian and has always been frugal. When she saw such a rare beast on the dining table, she hated it very much, but it prevented the guests from being angry. Lin did not take credit for it, but gave all the credit Liuyun, Liuyun didn't know the depth, and even ran to the old lady to ask for credit. Since then, the old lady's sympathy for Liuyun's premature loss of her biological mother has disappeared.

Now that I think about it, if the old lady had some compassion for Liu Yun and was willing to come to save her life, maybe she would not have died in Huangquan.It's just that Liu Yun couldn't guess that Mrs. Lin did it on purpose at the beginning, or because she found out the old lady's displeasure, she impulsively pushed the matter to Liu Yun. Later, Liu Yun was treated coldly by Mrs. Lin and complained to Mrs. Lin , Lin also reassured her that the old lady had always been like this, so she didn't have to care about it. Now that she thinks about it, she has really acted as a shield many times.

"Why doesn't Missy not move her chopsticks, don't you like to eat?" Mrs. Lin narrowed her eyes and smiled warmly at her, "Is it because I'm still sick? I'm too anxious. I should come back when Missy is better. Taste the dishes."

These words are weird, at first hearing, it seems that Liu Yun is the master of the Mu family.

As expected, Mu Qingyang's complexion changed, Xia Shi glanced at Lin Shi without a trace, Yu Chen frowned, and looked at Liu Yun worriedly, if Liu Yun responded casually at this time, her father would definitely resent her .

But this time, Liu Yun smiled, "Whatever Second Aunt said, as long as Dad likes it, Liu Yun will naturally like it."

"Liuyun's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Xia's mouth turned towards Mu Qingyang, and Mu Qingyang also smiled, dispelling the embarrassing atmosphere.

"But Daddy can't eat this Xueyue mutton." After Liu Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Wan Qing who was beside him, and Wan Qing immediately walked over to remove the dish. Mu Qingyang looked at his daughter in surprise .

"Why can't Daddy eat Xueyue mutton?" Meng's daughter Siya asked curiously.

"Aunt Xia mentioned yesterday that Daddy's anger has been high recently. I asked Qian Lan specifically. Qian Lan said that the high anger is caused by staying up late and busy. You should avoid hot food and eat more vegetarian and light food. This way Xueyue mutton, isn't it the hottest dish?" At the end, she said to the kitchen steward, "You are in charge of my father's diet, you should pay more attention, don't take money and do nothing, let this lady know , to keep you from eating and wandering around."

Such false and true words surprised everyone at the table. Such a coquettish and arrogant attitude is undoubtedly the eldest lady, but how their domineering eldest lady would say such an orderly and reasonable words is really surprising. .

"Yes, the old slave knows." The kitchen steward immediately bowed his head and nodded in agreement.

"Missy has grown up and knows how to care about the master's body." Xia's voice was still soft, and it rang in Mu Qingyang's ear, which made Mu Qingyang's complexion soften a bit.

Suspicion flashed in Lin's eyes, but he suppressed it secretly, and also laughed, "Yes, the eldest lady is sensible, and the madam must be very pleased if she is alive."

When mentioning his dead wife, Mu Qingyang was slightly distracted, and nodded after a while, "Yes, Liuyun has grown up."

Afterwards, the people at the table turned their attention back to the delicious food at the other table, but no one thought that today was a test dish, which was prepared for the birthday banquet in the near future.

Liu Yun showed a slight smile, that's good, this table of extravagant delicacies is a good weapon, how can people find something wrong?

It's just that she didn't notice that the smile on the corner of her mouth was caught by Yu Chen who was beside her. Her taciturn younger brother glanced at her and immediately looked away, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
