Chapter 542 Mother, Come and Live Here
"Well, you can do whatever you want."
"I have asked Master Cheng to take some people to do it."
Uncle Cheng is Cheng Kuan. In Wang Youcai's words, the two brothers are now in charge, so they can no longer call Cheng Kuan or Cheng Lu, but have to call them Uncle and Second Uncle.
"Okay, if you need money, just tell me."
Wang Youcai nodded: "Yes."
As soon as we finished discussing this matter, Xier ran in happily.
"Ma'am, look who's here."
Before Lu Shian opened his mouth to ask, a familiar voice came: "Shian, my son."
Yu Xiuying led Ziyuan into the house. Lu Shian hurriedly stood up and greeted them: "Mom, why are you here?"
Mother held Lu Shian's hand and looked around: "Now you can enter and leave the palace freely, but you have never come to see me. Since you are busy, I have no choice but to come and see you."
Lu Shian took Yu Xiuying's hand apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I'm really too busy. I always wanted to visit you in a few days, but I didn't expect that I haven't been there yet, but you want me to come and see me."
"Alright, alright, mother knows you are busy. I heard from Xi'er that you still want to be in charge of the harem now?"
Lu Shian hummed: "The Queen is pregnant, and the Emperor wants her to rest and take care of the baby."
Yu Xiuying was a little unhappy: "The emperor loves the queen, but aren't you also busy inside and outside the house?"
"Mom." Lu Shian quickly patted Yu Xiuying's hand, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Yu Xiuying was not convinced: "Mom just feels sorry for you."
"I know mother loves me, and the emperor trusts me, so he entrusted all these matters to me."
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't find it hard."
Lu Shian pulled Ziyuan over and said, "Ziyuan, do you miss your second sister?"
Lu Shian would occasionally have people send candies and snacks to Ziyuan. Of course, these snacks were not available at other places, no matter how rich they were. They were absolutely unique. Every time they were sent, Yu Xiuying would stare at Ziyuan with special care as she ate them. But this time, she had finished eating all the snacks she had sent.
As soon as she saw Lu Shian, Ziyuan pulled her second sister's hand and asked for candy.
Zi Yuan ate chocolate and answered obediently, "Yes, I do."
Yu Xiuying smiled and said, "Just spoil her. This kid is always thinking about your candy at home."
Lu Shian gently scratched Ziyuan's nose: "Little greedy cat."
"She's not only a greedy little cat, but also a naughty girl. You don't know how powerful this little girl is now. The dogs in the backyard will run away with their tails between their legs when they see her."
Ziyuan was not convinced and ran out with a pout.
Lu Shian saw it and quickly asked Que'er to follow.
Without outsiders around, the mother and daughter can talk to each other privately.
"Mother, have you been happy in the Marquis' Mansion recently?"
"My daughter is now the virtuous concubine. Who dares to disrespect me? Even your father often came to my room, but things have changed. I no longer have the same feelings for your father as I did back then. Your father stayed in Huaishu Village forever. Now he is just the Marquis of the Marquisate."
"Mom, since you are unhappy in the Marquis' Mansion, why don't you move here?"
"Move here?"
The more Lu Shian thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea. She couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, mother, if you move here, the people in the Marquis' Mansion will definitely not say anything. This way you can see me often."
Yu Xiuying also thought this was a good idea: "Okay, I don't want to see them being jealous every day."
Speaking of this, Yu Xiuying couldn't help but nag: "Dong Xuan'er and Wang Xuening fight every day. I'm so tired of listening to them."
"Then don't go back today, just stay here. We have our own people here, so we guarantee your safety."
As he was speaking, there was a sudden noise outside.
Lu Shian frowned slightly and sent Xier out to check.
After a while, Xier came back and said, "Madam, something bad has happened. There was a small fire in the kitchen, but it has been put out." Yu Xiuying asked worriedly, "What happened? Was someone careless?"
At this moment, Ziyuan suddenly lowered her head, tugging at the corner of her clothes with her little hands.
Lu Shian's heart moved, he squatted down and asked: "Zi Yuan, do you know something?"
Zi Yuan muttered quietly, "I saw something shiny in the kitchen and tried to get it, but I accidentally knocked over the candlestick."
Yu Xiuying's eyes widened: "How can you be so naughty, kid!"
Ziyuan burst into tears.
Lu Shian hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. As long as no major damage has been caused, don't be so naughty in the future." Zi Yuan nodded while crying.
Yu Xiuying sighed helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do about you."
Lu Shian teased, "Mom said that even dogs are afraid of you, but I didn't believe it. Now I believe it."
Ziyuan pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, and then she burst into tears.
Lu Shian hurried to coax her: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, Second Sister is not going to blame you, just be careful next time."
After coaxing Ziyuan for a while, Lu Shian finally took out another handful of candies, and Ziyuan finally burst into laughter.
Yu Xiuying said: "This child needs to be properly disciplined."
Lu Shian smiled and said, "Mom, Ziyuan is still young, just teach her slowly."
At this time, Wang Youcai came to report: "Madam, although the small fire in the kitchen has been extinguished, a lot of food has been damaged. I'm afraid today's meal will have to be simpler." Lu Shian waved his hand: "It's okay, just make something simple and light."
When Zi Yuan heard this, she came over and hugged Lu Shian's arm and acted coquettishly: "Second sister, I want to eat meatballs."
Lu Shian tapped her nose and said, "No meatballs today. The kitchen caught fire just now and ruined the ingredients."
Ziyuan's little face fell.
Seeing this, Yu Xiuying suggested: "We can send someone to the street to buy some food."
Lu Shian thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we make some barbecue?"
Since she became pregnant, gave birth, and then breastfed, she has always been very careful about her diet. Now that Chen'er is weaned, she has to let herself go.
Yu Xiuying smiled and replied, "That's a good idea. Mom is also greedy. No matter how others cook barbecue, it won't be as delicious as yours."
"So, shall we have a drink today?"
Yu Xiuying nodded happily: "Drink some."
So the mother and daughter ordered the servants to prepare the ingredients and drinks needed for the barbecue.
Soon, everything was ready. Lu Shian skillfully manipulated the grill, putting slices of tender meat on the grill, and instantly the meat started sizzling and smelled delicious. Yu Xiuying helped pass the seasonings, her eyes full of anticipation.
Ziyuan was watching eagerly at the side, her saliva almost dripping out.
Lu Shian smiled and baked a small piece for her, blew it cool and handed it to her. Zi Yuan couldn't wait to take a bite, her cheeks puffed up, and she said incoherently: "Second sister bakes the best."
After three rounds of drinking, Yu Xiuying's face flushed. She took Lu Shian's hand and said, "My daughter, the thing that makes me most happy in my life is that I have a filial and capable child like you."
Lu Shian responded to her mother's affection, "Mom, as long as you are happy, I will be content."
