Chapter 10
This matter, Gu Caiwei did it carelessly, Du Yi carefully covered it up, both of them thought it was just a trivial matter, and it passed away without a sound, but they didn't know that this scene had already fallen into the eyes of caring people.

This caring person is naturally Du Juanqing, the owner of Changning Hou Mansion.

At this time, Du Juanqing had just finished the work at hand when he saw the maid from the concubine Liniang's side come again.

"Master Hou, my lady has prepared your favorite red bean cake, and I would like to invite you to sit down."

"No, let her rest in peace! The Marquis still has something to do, so I'll go see her when I'm done." Du Juanqing frowned slightly, but he still spoke in a calm manner, as usual, making people listen to her Can't figure out what's on his mind.

The maid couldn't persuade her, so she had to take out a box of red bean cakes from the food box she carried with her. "The lady also thought that you might be too busy, Lord Hou, so she ordered the servant girl to bring a copy for you specially. This is just bought from Guiyun Tower, and it is still hot. Please use it slowly, Lord Hou."

"Yes, I see." Du Junqing nodded, picked up a piece and took a bite.

Seeing this, the servant girl happily resigned and left.

However, just as the maid left on the front foot, Du Juanqing turned his head on the back foot and spat out the red bean cake in his mouth.

The personal servant hurriedly brought a cup of tea, and Du Juan rinsed his mouth several times before slowly relaxing his frowning brows.

The servant took the opportunity to ask: "By the way, what would you like to have for lunch, Lord Hou?"

"Go and ask the prince! Benhou will have dinner with him." Du Juanqing said indifferently.

Unexpectedly, the servant immediately looked embarrassed. "This... the prince has already eaten."

"Huh?" Du Juan frowned, "Have you eaten?"

The boy nodded. "Just now Ah Zhong came over to say it. The prince went to his wife's yard again today, and then..."

"Then, he ate the food cooked by Mrs. Gu?" Du Juan understood clearly.

"No, no, no!" The servant shook his head hastily, "It's the shepherd's purse and mutton wontons thrown out by the madam for the wild cats outside, but the prince picked them up and ate them."

Surprise flashed in Du Juanqing's eyes.

"Madam threw out what he didn't want, but he picked it up? Did he still eat it? Have you finished eating?"

"It's over, it's over." The servant said hurriedly, "He ate all of the ten or so small wontons, and he even drank up the soup, not even a drop."

Du Juanqing immediately sat there blankly, without saying a word for a long time.

The boy also shrugged his shoulders and stood aside.Given how much Hou Ye disliked his wife, he certainly didn't dare to say a good word about her.It's just that in the current situation... what should he say?
He couldn't think of anything to say, so he didn't say it at all.

It took a while for Du Juanqing to react slowly. "Forget it, since the prince has eaten it, then this Marquis can eat it himself!"

"Yes! Then what do you want to eat, Master Hou?"

"Just eat a shepherd's purse and mutton wonton!" Du Juanqing blurted out.

"Ah?" The servant was stunned upon hearing this.

Du Juan raised his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just a wonton. Master Hou, if you want to eat it, I'll let the kitchen make it for you!" The servant quickly shook his head like a rattle, turned around in a hurry, and went to send a message.

Not long after, a bowl of fragrant shepherd's purse and mutton dumpling was brought to Du Juanqing.

Du Juanqing put a wonton into his mouth, and he immediately frowned.He scooped up another spoonful of soup and drank it, and his brows were twisted into a Sichuan character.

The boy was trembling. "Master Hou, what do you think?"

Without raising his eyelids, Du Juanqing uttered two words loudly - "It's unpalatable."
