Chapter 8: There’s Something Wrong With You

Aunt Ning can have the grace of raising Zhao Su, the original owner is also closest to Aunt Ning, hearing that it was her, Zhao Su immediately stood up.

Room door with the sound of walking into a number of people, Aunt Ning more than thirty years old, very well maintained, fair skin at the moment more highlighted the red circles of the eyes, high Ò hair as thick as dark clouds, a stone green spring shirt wrapped around her still slim body, see Zhao Su she rushed over: “You this child, can put me in a hurry!”

Zhao Su has only been embraced by her grandmother and elementary school class teacher, and now she is tightly clasped to her chest, moved but not daring to move.

Xing and the others said, “Auntie don’t worry, the girl is back in one piece!”

Aunt Ning wiped her tears and let go of Zhao Su, pulling her hands together and looking at her several times, “Did the Empress Dowager punish you? How did you get back?”

This should be a question that everyone is concerned about.

Seeing their concerned eyes, Zhao Su originally wanted to make a few perfunctory remarks.

After thinking about it, she thought that if Empress Dowager Lu suddenly ordered her to become a cook in the palace tomorrow, they would in all likelihood fall over in shock. In order to minimize the shock level, she still chose to give an honest explanation at this time, giving them a precautionary shot in advance.

So she sat up a bit straighter, then scrutinized their faces one by one, “I cooked a meal for the Empress Dowager-”

“Cooked?”

There weren’t too many people in the room, even the masters and servants were only twenty or so, hearing this, it was as if they had all been strangled, opening twenty mouths to look at her!

Even Marquis Qingyun and Uncle Zhao Nan, who came in through the door, heard Zhao Su’s reply and stood under the threshold with their jaws agape, as if they were holding their breath!

Originally, having caused this trouble, it was already not easy for Zhao Su to come out safe and sound so quickly on her own, and she actually said that she had cooked for the Empress Dowager –

She was born with a golden spoon, and what she received in her mother’s womb was everything that was superior in this world, when did she ever cook? I’m afraid she didn’t even know which way the kitchen door opened!

Besides, if she had the intelligence to cook, would she still have gotten into this mess?

“Sister Su, in front of father and eldest uncle, no lying!”

Aunt Ning gave Zhao Su a wink.

“There’s no lying, don’t believe me, go into the palace and ask.”

Previously, Empress Dowager Lu let her cook can be seen by many people, this matter can not be hidden? There is no more need to hide it, right?

Marquis Qingyun took a step across the door, “Say that again?”

“I said, I just made a meal for the Empress Dowager, she let me go.”

Marquis Qingyun looked more and more alarmed: “Then the empress dowager ate it?”

“Ate ah! And ate it all.” Originally thought an elite like her would prefer steak, who knew it was spicy hot! It seems that next time, we can be bolder and give her some fried stinky tofu to try if we are in a position to do so, or snail powder she might not refuse.

“…… Then is she okay after eating it?!”

Marquis Qingyun looked so horrified that he was about to turn his back, and even the voice that asked the question was so light that it couldn’t land on the ground.

Think about it is indeed also enough to scare, she and Lu dowager one is a little brain lack of uneducated little girl piece, one is ten thousand people on the prestigious dowager, a dare to do, a surprisingly also dare to eat!

“Quite good. And let me enter the palace again tomorrow.”

“Done and done!” Marquis Qingyun began to ball up, “Where’s Old Four? Where did he go? Hurry up and have him send someone to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager!”

Another towards called out to the long follower, “Go and get my court dress ready, take the horse whip, I’ll go into the palace to apologize to the emperor and the empress dowager! –How come I didn’t listen to the Emperor in the palace just now? Otherwise it would have saved me from delaying for so long!”

After saying this, he stomped his foot fiercely and drew his legs to rush out!

Great-uncle Zhao Nan knew that the situation was serious, and seeing that Zhao Ying wasn’t there, he hurriedly sent Xing Clan into the palace to greet Empress Dowager Lu, and then followed the Marquis of Anqing out himself.

On this side, Aunt Ning tightly grabbed Zhao Su’s shoulder: ”Why is this child of yours so unaware of the importance of things? If the empress dowager eats something bad, how can you stand it? ……”

“……”

Zhao Su looked at a room full of people who slapped up their thighs and shouted Bodhisattva, feeling that he really didn’t let Empress Dowager Lu eat out of order this matter, and had already jumped into the Yellow River and couldn’t wash it away.

“Mistress, Mrs. He is visiting with the He family’s eldest girl.”

The people in the house were just jittery about Zhao Su, who was as calm and self-assured as a dead pig, when the maid came in to inform.

“Got it.”

The worried Huang responded.

Zhao Su’s heart stirred, “Which Mrs. He?”

“Back to Third Miss, it’s the eldest daughter-in-law of Old Minister He of the Ministry of Industry, the First Lady of the He Family.”

It was the mom of the He family’s young lady who had her birthday today! Zhao Su immediately reacted. What are these two doing here? Are they here to spy?

There was also the second girl, Zhao Ha, who was present: “They don’t come early, they don’t come late, and they only come when everyone is back.”

Du was also unimpressed: “Earlier in the theater club was very cheerful, this time to sell false flowers.”

“Say less.” Huang stood up, “I’ll trouble auntie to accompany sister Su first, a few of us will go out to meet the guests.” She also instructed Zhao Su, “Sister Su’er stay well in the house and reflect. Alas, I hope everything is peaceful in the palace!”

She sighed, and Fang and Du and Zhao Ha led the way to meet the guests.

Zhao Su followed Aunt Ning to the corridor, watching the line of beauties meandering out of the courtyard door, and then looked at the three brick walls and windows only seen in movies and books, and smelled the corner of the courtyard peony flowers, only then gradually have a few points in ancient times of the real sense.

Back to the house, Aunt Ning’s previous anxious color floated to her face again: “What did the Empress Dowager say to you? How could she allow you to enter the kitchen?”

The palace kitchen was such an important place that it was obvious that it was not something that could be entered at will.

The point was, Zhao Su was telling her the ins and outs truthfully, she wouldn’t believe it either!

She didn’t say anything.

Aunt Ning looked at her suspiciously, “I always feel that there’s something wrong with you.”

Zhao Su subconsciously touched her face and looked at her as well.

Aunt Ning’s mother’s family was a large family in Huizhou, very rich and had business dealings with the government. Her husband’s family was also a scholarly family in Huzhou, but unfortunately, they were not well off.

Aunt Ning was widowed with a large dowry and an only son, not even a family can be close to the widow’s door is more than right and wrong, and because of the desire to cultivate their son, Ning Jade to become a talented person, so they went to the capital to join the cousin since childhood, and want to ask the cousin has become a powerful wife of the dynasty’s sister family to help Ning Jade to find a good teacher.

To the capital only to know cousin has been sick and died, at that time Zhao Su no mother, Ning family mother and son and far away, by the wife’s maternal relatives to take care of the young daughter, this is indeed a proper arrangement.

Twelve years later, Ning Jade had long since passed the jinshi exam, and had already served as a county magistrate in Tongzhou last year, but Aunt Ning was still living in the Marquis of Qingyun’s residence to take care of Zhao Su.
