Wei Ruo’s response was watertight and boss-proof. Wei Qingwan could do nothing to her and turned her head to look at Lady Yun.

Lady Yun also felt that her elder daughter had said nothing wrong: “Wanwan, if you want to learn, after returning to Wei Residence, I will have the chef teach you. Given your cooking skills, you should be able to learn very quickly.

“Hmm.” Now that Lady Yun had spoken, Wei Qingwan had to let it go.

However, her heart was still fixated on Master Chu whom she had only managed to get a fleeting glimpse of.

After the carriage of the Wei Family left, Lu Yuhong was still thinking about his mushroom sauce. He turned his head to Chu Lan and said, “Brother Chu, haven’t you been in frequent contact with Miss Wei recently? Could you please help me obtain a jar next time?”

“What are you talking about? People who don’t know the facts might think that

I have some secret affair with Miss Wei.”

“No, no, I mean, didn’t you send Madam Qin to help Miss Wei deal with the matter of reclaiming the wasteland in the south of the city? You two are in close contact. If you ask for it, getting a jar of mushroom sauce shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“When will your gluttonous habit change, Brother Yuhong?” Chu Lan asked in a teasing tone.

“That’s probably never going to happen in this lifetime. I have two great passions in life, fighting and food. I wouldn’t survive without either of them,” Lu Yuhong answered.

Chu Lan couldn’t help but laugh.

He actually quite liked Lu Yuhong’s disposition. In addition to Lu Yuhong’s identity, his personality was also a big reason for their close relationship.

He was straightforward and easy to understand.

“Brother Chu, you ate it last time too. Don’t you think that mushroom sauce was very special and delicious? Anyway, I’ve never eaten mushroom sauce hke that in the Capital City,” Lu Yuhong asked curiously.

-It is indeed special and indeed delicious, but not as much as Brother Yuhong speaks of,” Chu Lan answered.

He would certainly enjoy good food, but he wouldn’t long for it as much as Lu Yuhong does.

If it’s there, he would eat it; if not, it would be no problem. He wouldn’t take it so seriously and wouldn’t bother asking people for a sauce specifically.

“Anyway, I really like it. Will you let your Madam Qin help me get a jar next time? I won’t take it for free, I’ll exchange it with something else,” Lu Yuhong said.

“Alright, I will let Madam Qin ask for you next time,” Chu Lan agreed.

“Great, I’m looking forward to it!” Lu Yuhong was very happy, his smile was pure and direct.

His simplicity was rare in the mixed circles of the Capital City. And Chu Lan, who is part of the royal mud pit and has seen many cunning and conniving people, naturally enjoyed becoming friends with someone hke Lu Yuhong.

After a while, the horse-drawn carriage of the Wei Family reached a villa.

The villa belonged to the Xie Family, and it was Madam Xie who took the initiative to offer it to Lady Yun to accommodate the mother and daughters of the Wei Family for a few days.

This act of Madam Xie solved a big problem for Lady Yun. Originally, it was not appropriate for her as a woman with two daughters to stay in an inn. The Wei family had not bought any residence in Government City, and they were worrying about how to settle down when Madam Xie extended a helping hand in their hour of need.

Madam Xie owns several shops in Government City and has also bought several houses there, making it convenient for her children and herself to have places to stay when they go to the city.

The villa that the Wei Family is now going to live in is just one of them.

Lady Yun was very grateful for this. The Wei Family and the Xie Family did not have much interaction. But at this time, Madam Xie could take the initiative to lend her villa to them for temporary residence, which really moved her.

The housekeeper of the Xie Family’s villa came out to greet them.

She first politely greeted Lady Yun, then turned her eyes to Wei Ruo. The housekeeper smiled at Wei Ruo and said, “Miss Wei, our young lady asked this old servant to prepare food and drinks from the most famous Zuixian Residence in the city for you, including Zuixian Residence’s osmanthus wine. The young mistress wants you to eat well and drink well.

“Thankyou, Madam. You have worked hard,” said Wei Ruo.

“Oh no, Miss Wei is a friend of our young mistress, and an honored guest of our house. It is our duty as servants to take care of the honored guests,” said the housekeeper with a smile all over her face.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Wei Ruo, Lady Yun, and Wei Qingwan, who had been on the road all day, entered the dining hall of the villa.

Surely enough, the dining hall had been filled with a banquet of sumptuous dishes. According to the housekeeper, they should have just been brought back from Zuixian Residence, still fresh and hot.

in fact, this meal was not arranged by Xie Ying, but by Xie Jue. However, to avoid inviting criticism, he specifically instructed the old lady to say that it was arranged by Xie Ying.

Lady Yun looked at the banquet table and sighed once again in her heart about the generous hospitality of the Xie Family.

Of course, Lady Yun was very clear in her heart that the Xie Family’s warm hospitality at this time all came from the friendship between her eldest daughter and Miss Xie.

Wei Qingwan felt uncomfortable, as if all the preferential treatment they were receiving now was gifted by Wei Ruo, which made her feel oppressed.

Wei Ruo didn’t think that much. Since these fine dishes were prepared by Xie Ying, she would make an effort to enjoy them while they were hot.

She also wanted to know what kind of skill level the chef of the best restaurant in Government City had.

After tasting them, she was slightly disappointed. To be honest, the chef’s skills were certainly very good, and many of the dishes were well done, but some were a bit subpar, not because of the cooking skills, but due to the seasoning and spices.

Some of the big braised dishes were lacking in excellent seasoning and spices, and naturally, the taste would be a little bland.

This discovery gave Wei Ruo a thought, and then she laughed. If she had enough time and the chance this time, she would go to Zuixian Residence.

Wei Ruo thought the taste was ordinary, but Lady Yun and Wei Qingwan found the dishes brought from Zuixian Residence to be very delicious. The cooking skills surpassed the cook of the Colonel’s family by far.

Lady Yun even complimented that the cooking of Zuixian Residence was on par with the big restaurants in the Capital City.

Wei Qingwan agreed and told Wei Ruo that she would take her to taste the food of the Capital City’s restaurants once they arrived there.

Wei Ruo just smiled, according to their words, Wei Ruo felt that even the restaurants in the Capital City couldn’t compete with the cooking skills of her family’s Meimei, so there was nothing to look forward to.

After dinner, Wei Ruo went to rest in the room prepared for her. The physical effort lost on the road needed to be replenished by sleeping.

Although Wei Qingwan appeared to be much weaker than Wei Ruo on a daily basis, she didn’t immediately rest after a day of carriage riding. Instead, she had her maid inquire about the whereabouts of Young Master Xie Jue of the Xie Family.

Cuihe quickly came back, “Young Miss, Young Master Xie is not in this villa. Madam Xie arranged for us to stay in a different villa from Young Master Xie for our convenience.”

Wei Qingwan was a little disappointed to hear this. She then had Cuihe help her bathe and then retire to bed.

The next day, Lady Yun went out with Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan.

Since there were still a few days till the garden tour, Lady Yun decided to take her two daughters around Government City first, which was a rare opportunity in ordinary days..
