Foodie chef, my three-star queen

Chapter 25 Anger, Discovering Clues

"It's okay. Anyway, there are not many people in the courtyard, so it's pitiful to let her outside alone. Let her in." Mi Qilin didn't care, "Besides, hasn't it been calm since she came here?"

Lian Xin thinks so too, Yue Ya has quick hands and feet, and has been working honestly, so far, she hasn't found anything suspicious about her yet.Then he nodded and went out to call Yueya.

Yue Ya was also shocked by the fact that Mi Qilin asked her to eat at the same table, and kept waving her hands and refused to sit down.

"Yueya, no matter whether you were sent by Aunt Shui before, you are mine if you enter my yard. If you do well, I will have my own reward. If you don't do well, whatever I do with you is mine. She has nothing to do with it. Do you understand what I mean?" Mi Qilin showed both grace and power, pointing to Yueya.

"Yes. The servant has written it down." Yueya replied in a low voice.

"Okay, don't let the slaves grow longer and the slaves be shorter. From today on, you will be called Xiangyou. It will match with Lianxin Aloe and her." They are all edible.

"Yes."

After Xiangyou nodded and thanked Mi Qilin, she sat down with Lianxin Aloe, but she obviously couldn't let go, half nervous and half restless sitting at the bottom.

"Xiangyou, the dinner time will start earlier tomorrow. Just make the amount for the three of you. After Shenshi (3 to 5 pm), I will have a rest, and you all should go back to your room early to rest." Mi Qilin said casually.

"Miss, don't you need dinner?"

"Loose weight. Don't eat." Mi Qilin answered simply, losing weight as soon as possible is her first goal. "By the way, we will close the door to thank guests after Shenshi. If anyone visits in the yard, they will all be declined."

"Yes..." Xiangyou opened her mouth, swallowed what she wanted to say, and nodded in agreement.

Mi Qilin was very satisfied with Xiangyou's performance, nodded and continued to drive, completely ignoring the different expressions of the other three.

Just after eating, I heard a commotion in the yard.

"Lian Xin, go and see what's going on." Mi Qilin frowned and looked towards the door.

"This old slave has seen Missy." Chen Nai, who was beside Shui Yunmei, appeared at the door of the house at the right time, and said respectfully: "I heard that Missy is not feeling well, so this old slave specially invited Imperial Physician Yuan to treat you."

"Thank you, Mother Chen." Mi Qilin nodded slightly, lowered his head and sighed, "Well, it stands to reason that Mother Chen is so caring, so I should express my heart, but Aunt Shui hasn't given me anything from the emperor so far. I have my monthly money... When Dad comes back, I have to ask him to change the accountant, and I always forget what it means to send me monthly money?!"

"This..." Nanny Chen laughed along, but couldn't say anything.

"Hehe. Look, I'm just complaining. I'm just short of cash, and I don't have anything to give to Nanny Chen. Don't be offended. If there is, I will definitely not be stingy." Mi Qilin said so, But there was nothing apologetic in the expression and tone of voice.

"Miss is just kidding, this old slave is not for rewards, this is what old slaves should do. Miss, you are polite." As expected of the person next to Shui Yunmei, Madam Chen is tactful and sophisticated, her humble tone really makes people who do not know Lovers thought she was a good mother in the general's mansion.

"Look at me, I'm just talking. Xiangyou, go and make tea for Imperial Physician Yuan." Mi Qilin deliberately yelled Yue Ya's new name, and then said to Nanny Chen, "Please, Imperial Physician Yuan, go to the hall. just go."

"Yes." Nanny Chen bowed her back and stepped back. After the imperial physician had been invited, she looked around and ran to the small kitchen after confirming that no one was there.Imperial Physician Yuan is about fifty years old, with a goatee, and his slightly obese figure does not match the fresh identity of an imperial physician, but rather bureaucratic.This Imperial Physician Yuan and Concubine Yuan Li in the palace are relatives, Concubine Yuan Li also gave birth to a prince for the emperor, so relying on the status of the Yuan family in the court and the importance of mother and son, both he and Concubine Yuan Li are somewhat pampered.

The first time Mi Qilin saw Doctor Yuan, he didn't have a good impression of him, thinking that he was pretending to be sick anyway, so he asked him to see off the doctor as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Yuan." Saying that, Mi Qilin stretched out his arm.

Putting a veil on Mi Qilin's wrist, Imperial Physician Yuan began to feel the pulse. He stroked the goatee with one hand and frowned tightly. After a while, he opened his cloudy eyes and said seriously: "Missy's illness is serious." It’s not cured yet, the old man will prescribe a few more prescriptions and take it on time, it should be fine.”

"Oh." Mi Qilin knew with his knees that he was lying, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he said with a worried face: "I'm used to it, and now I feel very lucky to be able to wake up. But my mother... ...The mother's illness is also treated by Imperial Physician Yuan? How long will it take for her to recover?"

"Miss, don't worry. The old man was ordered by the emperor to heal the young lady and the general's wife. I will do my best not to neglect. Old man..."

Physician Yuan made a big deal, it was nothing more than how serious and responsible he was working hard to treat, but he didn't explain Yuchi Yanning's condition carefully, only saying that it would take time.Mi Qilin couldn't help waving his hand to interrupt him with a fake speech. If he listened to it again, it would only damage his ears, but he wouldn't get any valuable information.

"Physician Yuan, all the prescriptions for my mother will be handed over to me from now on, and I will cook them in the small kitchen." Mi Qilin turned to Lian Xin again and said:
"Lian Xin, send Imperial Physician Yuan to Aunt Shui to receive the reward." Although this kind of imperial physician was sent by the palace, it seems noble, but a reward is essential, but she has no money, so she can only make Shui Yun charming. Take the money, anyway, it's not the money in the general's mansion.

"Yes. Imperial Physician Yuan please."

Lian Xin led Imperial Physician Yuan out of the courtyard, Mi Qilin winked at Aloe, and the two walked towards the small kitchen.As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Nanny Chen walking out in a hurry.

"Yo, Nanny Chen. What's the matter? Come and visit my small kitchen? I'm sorry, it's too simple and there are not many ingredients. I'm afraid it can't compare with Aunt Shui's?" Mi Qilin put his hands on his chest and squeezed The voice teased.

"The old slave is just here to tell Yue Ya to take care of the young lady with all her heart." Nanny Chen was embarrassed, and changed into a flattering smile in a blink of an eye.

"Chen Nanny, she's not called Yueya now. She's called Xiangyou, and she's from my yard. I don't need to bother Chen Nanny." Mi Qilin's light eyes swept over Chen Nanny, and finally fixed on the kitchen door .

Without waiting for Nanny Chen to reply, she put on a sad expression and said with a sigh: "If Nanny Chen really cares about me, why don't you tell Aunt Shui that the things you mentioned last time haven't been delivered yet. Here I am. After all, I am also the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion, and my food and clothing are not as good as the maids next to Aunt Shui. Wouldn't it be a joke if it was spread? I am afraid that my monthly money will be deducted by the accountant. Please ask Chen Mammy tell Aunt Shui, ask her to make the decision for me and punish Diao Nu."

"Yes. Yes. Don't worry, miss. The old slave will go back and report. The old slave is leaving." Nanny Chen ran away in a hurry.

"Hmph... It's definitely not a good thing to be courteous for nothing." A voice came out of Mi Qilin's nostrils, and he raised his head and pointed his chin at the kitchen, "Aloe, let's go in and have a look." Mi Qilin entered the kitchen and saw Xiangyou on the stove. Before I was in a daze, the boiling kettle on the stove was already steaming, and the boiling water was bubbling and foaming, and the lid was about to be knocked off.But Xiangyou stared at the kettle unconsciously, without any intention of mentioning it.

"Xiangyou. The water is boiling." Aloe reminded in a low voice, her voice alarmed Xiangyou who was in a daze.

Xiangyou hurriedly reached out to lift the kettle, and even forgot to put a thick cloth towel on the handle.

"Oops!" Xiangyou blew air while covering her reddened hands.While apologizing to Mickey Lin ashamedly, "I'm sorry miss, I'm clumsy, I'll just make tea."

"No need. Doctor Yuan has already left. Come to my room." Mi Qilin turned and left.If you read correctly, Xiangyou's eye sockets are red, and the tip of her nose is also a little red. It doesn't look like she was crying in pain after being burned. She should have been crying for a while.

Mi Qilin knew that Nanny Chen must have said something to Xiangyou. Since Xiangyou entered her yard, she has always behaved very well, and there is nothing suspicious about it.So... It is very likely that Xiangyou did come in with an order, but she didn't move for a long time. Aunt Shui was in a hurry, so she forced her.Well, [-]% is the case.However, what kind of mission Xiangyou brought here is unknown.

Mi Qilin waited in the room for a while, Xiangyou came in with tea, made a cup of tea for Mi Qilin without saying a word, then stepped back a few steps, and knelt down with a plop.

"Xiangyou, what are you doing?" Mi Qilin frowned, she didn't want anyone to kneel down at her, but Xiangyou obviously had something to say, so she didn't wake her up.

"Miss, I beg you to save this slave." Xiangyou cried as she spoke.

During Xiangyou's intermittent cries, Mi Qilin understood that her family lived in the southern outskirts of the city, and she was the eldest daughter from a poor family. To support the family, she has been a slave since she was a child, sending her monthly money back home to support her family.

She was originally a maid in Shuiyunmei's yard, but this time she was assigned to Mi Qilin's yard. Although she is also a rough envoy girl, she only needs to cook and clean the yard every day, and she will not be beaten or scolded by her master. Being bullied by other slaves is much easier than life before.But there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and the price for her to serve Mi Qilin is that the lives of her family are in Shui Yunmei's hands...

"Oh? Then how do you want me to save you?" Mi Qilin put his eyes on the teacup in front of him, the mist rose and the tea fragrance overflowed, but she still smelled a different smell.

"Mother Chen came to me just now and asked me to tell her the details of Miss's daily diet and daily life. She also said that if I can't do it with my family..." Xiangyou covered her mouth and broke down in tears , she didn't finish the rest, but it must be Shui Yunmei threatening her family's life.

"Then do you want my permission to tell them something they want to know. Or do you want me to save your family?"

"Miss, the servants have never confided anything about the young lady to them since they came here. I heard that the young lady has... a stubborn illness. These days, it seems that Aunt Shui is jealous of the young lady. Now the only one who can save the young lady is the young lady. This is why the slaves have the courage to ask for help."

"You go down first. Let me think about it." Mi Qilin waved his hand.

From Mi Qilin's expression, Xiangyou didn't seem to be moved by her words, but she couldn't say anything more, so she bowed her head and left.

Mi Qilin squinted his eyes and stared at Xiangyou's back, thoughtful... The next day

Mi Qilin went to Ningxinyuan to visit Yuchi Yanning as usual, she was still only awake for a while, and then passed out after eating something, Mi Qilin didn't know what went wrong.After returning from Ningxinyuan, she asked Xiangyou to explain all the recipes and ingredients used to cook for Yuchi Yanning every day, and she took notes.

Xiangyou reported the ingredients, and Mi Qilin stopped her when she turned to leave:
