Prime Minister’s Illegitimate Daughter - Chapter 14
In the garden of the Prime Minister’s Residence, Chu Mengshuang was provoking Chu Mengli as she tried to block her way.
“You went out of the house? “You, a young lady from a boudoir, actually went out without the permission of the matriarch. Aren’t you being too unruly?” Chu Mengshuang’s face was filled with a sinister look, as well as a smug look.
“Third Miss, the young miss left with the permission of the old master.” Core said in a neither humble nor haughty manner.
“Third Miss, please step aside.” Su Yi stepped forward with an ice-cold expression.
Chu Mengshuang saw that her tone wasn’t good and immediately suppressed her anger. She was fine with it, but she couldn’t deal with it. Where did this maid come from to talk to her in such a manner? Obviously, he was looking down on him.
“Scram!” With that, she raised her hand and struck towards Su Yi.
Su Yi stretched out a hand to grab onto Chu Mengshuang’s arm, holding onto it tightly. Chu Mengshuang was at a disadvantage, and shouted at Chun Er and Qiuju with a ferocious look, “You two still haven’t come to help? Beat this little bitch to death! ”
Chun Er and Qiujie looked at each other, then rushed towards Suyi. She threw off Chu Mengshuang, and quickly went up to the two of them, kicking them out of the way.
Chu Mengshuang held onto her wrist, looked at the two moaning people on the ground, and looked at her with an expression of disbelief, “You …” You … You know martial arts? You’re not a maid? “No, you are not from the Prime Minister’s Estate.”
The plain clothes did not even look at her as she stood behind Chu Mengli.
Chu Mengli looked at the shocked Chu Mengshuang and was secretly delighted in her heart. She’s my new servant girl today. Now that my father is at home, I’m afraid that some things will not go as your third sister wishes. It’s better for third sister to restrain herself. ” Then, he led the two of them away.
Chu Mengshuang stared hatefully at Chu Mengli’s back, and then scolded Chun’er and Qiuju on the ground, “Get up and help me go back, you two pieces of trash!”
Chu Mengdie was arranging some flowers while Chun’er was applying medicine on Chu Mengshuang’s bruised wrist. Chu Mengshuang scolded Chu Mengli as she told her what had happened.
She had paid respects to her mother in the morning and happened to see Chu Mengli leaving the mansion with two maidservants, so she changed the route and went to the Jade Courtyard. While chatting, she had unintentionally mentioned the matter of Chu Mengshuang leaving the mansion, so as to let Chu Mengshuang teach Chu Mengli a lesson. However, she did not expect that she would suffer a loss in front of a fourteen year old girl.
“You’re saying that she has a servant girl that knows martial arts?” When Chu Mengshuang said that she was wearing a plain dress, Chu Mengdie let go of the flowers and lightly frowned.
“That’s right, second elder sister. That maid is awesome!” Look at my hand, “Chu Mengshuang extended her wrist and showed it to Chu Mengdie,” She also said that her father allowed her to go out today, and he even granted her permission to leave the house without passing through the main wife’s door!
“Then the maidservants are from Yinhe Garden?”
“No, Yinhe Garden doesn’t have any martial arts girls. Chu Mengli said that she took in a new disciple today.”
It was also true that if Yimei and the garden knew how to fight, they wouldn’t be bullied by Chu Mengshuang every single time. But where did Chu Mengli get this little girl to learn martial arts? She had just returned from a round trip today to retrieve an extraordinary maid. Furthermore, her father had allowed her to go out …
“Second sister, are we going to let that little slut show off her strength in the future?” Chu Mengshuang was not convinced.
“You go back first.” Chu Mengdie’s tone was stern, no longer as gentle as usual.
Seeing that she was getting impatient, Chu Mengshuang hurriedly brought Chun’er and Qiuju back to the Drizzle Court.
Although her father doted on her, she didn’t think much of her. However, the Crown Prince’s attitude towards her at the feast, as well as Chu Mengli’s performance, made her even more cautious. Thinking about what Chu Mengli had done recently, it wasn’t hard to find out that she had changed. No, that won’t happen. She wouldn’t have been able to disguise herself since she was young, right? What had changed her? Chu Mengdie could not understand.
And that martial arts servant girl, why did she suddenly appear by Chu Mengli’s side? Previously, Chu Mengli didn’t have such a person with her, but who was it that sent her to protect her? However, the only person who could send people to the backyard without the permission of the matriarch was his father.
Thinking of this, Chu Mengdie tightened her grip on the flower bud in her hand. Her father actually doted on her to this extent? Why should she? She was only a concubine, while he was the direct descendant of the Prime Minister. Why? Why? And there was also Prince Dongchen. Why did he treat her so special? Did he like her? She was only a fourteen year old little girl, so how could he not be at her level?
Chu Mengdie’s body was covered in darkness, as she knocked over the vase on the table. The vase fell to the ground with a screeching sound, and the flower bud scattered all over the floor.
The thrush had been serving Chu Mengdie ever since she was young. She knew that this second young miss was usually gentle and charming outside, but in a situation where there were no outsiders, she was extremely shrewd. He was in a bad mood and he didn’t dare to disturb her. Moreover, he had already guessed the reason behind Chu Mengdie’s anger.
He went out and called for the two little girls, saying that some wild cat ran into the Miss’s room and broke the vase, asking them to hurry up and clean it up.
Chu Mengdie looked at the two little girls who were picking up the pieces, and her heart slowly calmed down. All of this was because of Chu Mengli. A strange look flashed in his eyes. The corner of his mouth curved into a gentle smile.
At the end of the month, the embroidery workshop brought in the monthly bonus. Adding on the extra money she earned from ordering clothes with Chu Mengdie last month, Chu Mengli had sixty thousand taels of silver with her. Chu Mengli was overjoyed, so what could she do with this money?
Calling out the name to the wind in the darkness, he gave a few instructions in a low voice, and then left the courtyard in a flash after receiving his orders.
When Chu Mengli woke up from her nap, she was already back in the wind.
“Master, according to your request, I found a restaurant that is being resold. Because the boss has urgent business, he sold it very urgently and the price is also low.”
Chu Mengli asked about the general situation of the restaurant and decided to check it out herself tomorrow.
The next day, Chu Mengli arrived at the restaurant mentioned by the wind early in the morning. It was located in a bustling street. In front of them was a three-storey restaurant. It was large and spacious with a small courtyard at the back. The environment was pretty good. Chu Mengli walked around and felt satisfied.
Back in the courtyard, Chu Mengli stayed in her room and painted for the whole afternoon. When she came out, she gave a piece of paper to Peach, told her to prepare the things on the paper, called for Midsummer, and told her to find someone to redecorate the restaurant and build special tables according to the pictures on the paper.
When Chu Mengli was in high school, she had worked in the hotpot restaurant for two years for living, so when she wanted to pay for something, the first thing she thought of was the hotpot. Not mentioning that she was familiar with it, the weather was getting colder.
However, it was impossible for Chu Mengli to be in charge of the restaurant. Furthermore, she could only be the boss behind the scenes, so she needed a smart and sincere shopkeeper.
In the afternoon, Peach Blossom prepared the ingredients Chu Mengli wanted. Chu Mengli then went to the kitchen to cook the ingredients herself. After considering that the core was not hot and medium summer, she cooked a hot pot of soup for dinner.
On the table, in a hot charcoal bowl, sat a copper pot, fragrant with a variety of fungi, vegetables, meatballs, and sliced mutton.
Chu Mengli sat down Ling’Er, Zhong Xia, and Peach Blossom. The four girls looked curiously at the table.
“Miss! This is the hotpot you were talking about? “But how do you eat these vegetables that are raw?” Xin’er couldn’t help but to ask.
The three of them also looked at Chu Mengli.
Chu Mengli smiled as she introduced the cooking method of the hotpot.
After the four of them heard this, they dipped the meat into Chu Mengli’s so-called sauce, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it into their mouths.
“This meat is both fragrant and tender, it’s really delicious!” Peach couldn’t help but praise him.
“This mountain fungus tastes just as good.” “It tastes better than stir-fried food. It’s very fresh.” Midsummer also revealed a happy expression.
Xin’er picked up another pair of chopsticks and asked, “Miss, are we really going to open a hotpot restaurant?” As the young miss of the Prime Minister’s estate, is it really good to do business in public like this?
“As long as we have money, we won’t be bullied. Do you want to live like before? You want to take a month’s worth of silver and look at other people’s faces? ”
“The prime minister loves his mistress so much. He won’t let her be bullied anymore. I’ll protect her too.” Su Yi also spoke up.
Chu Mengli smiled, “I know, but I cannot protect my father for the time being. Like last time, as long as he is not at home, I will be at the mercy of others. To protect someone I want to protect, isn’t it better to rely on yourself than others? And the first condition to become strong was to have money. Only with money can we not be restricted by the Bai clan. ”
There was admiration in her eyes as well as admiration in her heart.
“Miss has suffered, it’s all because we are useless.” Midsummer’s eyes were somewhat moist.
Zhong Xia looked at the smiling expression on Chu Mengli’s face and nodded his head while holding back his tears. Miss only needed to protect him and he would have to protect her in the future. Only then would he be able to take care of his aunt’s last words.
After an hour, the five of them sat on the chairs and rubbed their stomachs which were a little bulging. Midsummer went to wash the food on the table and drank it.
“In the wind, the kitchen has left a hotpot for you to eat.” Chu Mengli said to the air.
“When the wind on the beams outside heard this, his heart was moved.” “Thank you, Mistress.” After saying that, he flew into the kitchen.
