Marquis Weiyuan thought for a while and said: "My grandmother was worried that Yuanhang would be burdened by hatred, so she didn't let my father tell him this.
When a person lives alone, he seeks his ancestors upwards, takes root downwards, and reproduces from generation to generation. I think it is necessary for us to let Yuanhang know the truth.
Mrs. Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Jun is right. Yuanhang is the son of the Jiang family. He should know the truth."
There was a knock on the door, and then Lao He brought Jiang Min in, "Master Marquis, Jiang Min is here."
"Okay, step back!" Marquis Weiyuan said.
Jiang Min stepped forward and bowed to Marquis Weiyuan.
Marquis Weiyuan waved to him and said, "Come and sit."
Ning Wei chatted with Mrs. Qian for a while in Nuange. She looked up at the hourglass and saw the lunch spot, so she said, "Grandma, it's lunch time. I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."
Mrs. Qian nodded and said, "Okay, go and see if there are enough dishes. If you don't have time to cook them, ask someone to go to Fengle Building to buy some."
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Okay, Wei'er understands."
Ning Wei came out of the Nuan Pavilion and saw Lao He leading Jiang Min into the living room. Ning Wei's doubts became more serious.
Why is shopkeeper Jiang here? Ning Wei then thought about it, Sanpinxuan is the property of the Marquis of Weiyuan, maybe the Marquis has something to tell Jiang Min.
Ning Wei walked towards the kitchen, and when she reached the corner, she was frightened by the person hiding there and took a step back.
Just as Ning Wei was about to open her mouth and scream, a strong force pulled her over, and her mouth was covered, "I'm here, miss, don't shout!"
After Ning Wei saw clearly that it was Hu Rui, her tense nerves relaxed.
He raised his hand and patted his chest and said, "Sir, you scared me to death. Okay, what are you doing hiding here?"
Hu Rui grabbed Ning Wei's arm with one hand and raised his index finger to his mouth with the other hand, signaling Ning Wei to be silent.
Ning Wei lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hu Rui pulled Ning Wei aside, looked towards the living room, and then asked: "Miss, Qiao Yi said that both the Marquis and Jiang Min have come to the house?"
Ning Wei followed Hu Rui's gaze, glanced towards the living room, and said, "I didn't see Mr. Hou, but my grandmother said that Mr. Hou was here. What? Sir, you are afraid of Mr. Hou?"
Hu Rui shook his head, "That's not true! Is there someone in charge of Mr. Hou, Jiang Min, or someone like the leader of the Hou Mansion?
The Marquis doesn't even recognize someone like this, so what do you have to be afraid of?"
Ning Wei looked Hu Rui up and down and asked, "Since you are not afraid of Mr. Marquis, what are you doing hiding here?"
Hu Rui blurted out: "I'm hiding from Wei Yuan!"
When the words came out, Hu Rui was so shocked that she covered her mouth, annoyed that she was so quick to speak. Why did she say it to this person?
"Huh?" Ning Wei stared at Hu Rui and asked doubtfully, "Sir, can you tell me why you are hiding from Uncle Wei? Have you offended Uncle Wei?"
Hu Rui's eyes were darting around, and he was talking about him from left to right.
"How could I offend him?
So what, the lady is going to the kitchen, right?
It’s time to eat. There are guests in the house. It’s important to greet the guests. Miss, go and get busy!”
Ning Wei looked at Hu Rui, who felt guilty, and folded her arms in her arms.
He asked with a half-smile: "Sir, your expression betrays you, sir, tell me, is there anything I don't know?"
Hu Rui pushed Ning Wei towards the kitchen, "Miss, there are distinguished guests here today. Miss, please go to the kitchen and have a look. Nothing is wrong here, really!"
Even if I beat her to death, she wouldn't be able to talk about how she was drunk and molesting Wei Yuan last night.
Ning Wei was pushed forward by Hu Rui, turned to look at Hu Rui, and said as she walked: "Sir, if you are panicking, it means something must be wrong.
Sir, he who never lies will reveal his truth whenever he lies.
Sir, just tell me the truth, how did you offend Uncle Wei?"
Hu Rui refused to admit it, "I really have not offended Mr. Wei, I promise."
"really?"
Hu Rui said: "Take it seriously, absolutely take it seriously!"
When they arrived at the kitchen door, Hu Rui let go, and Ning Wei turned to look at her, "Sir, his eyes are evasive, his face is red, and he looks panicked. He must be hiding something from me.
I'm busy today, so I won't ask you any more questions, sir. Let's discuss this later."
If she wasn't busy preparing lunch, she would have asked Hu Rui.
Seeing that Ning Wei was not pursuing the case now, Hu Rui felt relieved and leaned over and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go and do it first."
Jiuniang raised her head to look at Hu Rui, who was leaving quickly, then lowered her head and continued busy with her work, "What's wrong, sir? Are you running so fast?"
Ning Wei looked away, "She has something to do. Is Jiuniang going to be a squirrel fish?"
Ning Wei looked at the fish in Jiuniang's hand and asked.
Jiuniang nodded and said: "Yes, Grandma Shen said that Mrs. Jiang has not had a good appetite these days. I want to make some dishes that are suitable for the old lady."
"Okay, Jiuniang is interested."
As Ning Wei talked, she walked to the stove to check and saw chicken soup simmering on the fire, pork belly and glutinous pork ribs steaming on the cage bed, and old duck simmering in the big pot.
"Jiuniang, you are making squirrel fish. We have a distinguished guest in the house today. I will add some more dishes. You go and wash the piece of beef and the pair of pork loins and bring them over. You go and wash these vegetables and bring them over."
Ning Wei pointed to the dishes on the shelf and gave instructions to the two handymen in the kitchen.
Jiuniang turned to look at Ning Wei, "Are you a distinguished guest here? Do we have enough dishes? Do you want to go to the restaurant and order some more dishes?"
When Jiuniang heard about the distinguished guests, she was worried that she would not be able to serve the food she cooked.
"No, there are chicken, duck, fish and meat. I'll cook a few more stir-fries, that's enough."
Ning Wei took an apron from the shelf and tied it on, washed her hands, turned around and stir-fried the old duck, tasted it and asked, "Has the old duck been cooked for half an hour?"
"Yes, have you tasted it?" Jiuniang asked.
"That's it, I'm going to start the pot!" Ning Wei said as he took the old duck out of the pot, washed the pot, and said to the woman who was lighting the fire: "Big fire."
The mother-in-law hurriedly added firewood to the stove.
Ning Wei waited for the pot to boil dry, poured oil into the pot, and said to Jiuniang: "It's hot and oiled, you come and fry the fish."
"Okay! Thank you miss, I'll be here right now."
Jiuniang put the battered fish into the oil pan, turned around and walked to Ning Wei,
She asked in a low voice: "Miss, are Mr. Hu and Mr. Wei getting close to something good?"
Ning Wei was cutting the waist. After hearing Jiuniang's words, she stopped and almost cut her hand.
Ning Wei stopped what she was doing, looked up at Jiuniang, and asked in a low voice: "Who are you talking about having good deeds with whom?"
"Mr. Hu and Mr. Wei!"
Ning Wei thought of Hu Rui's abnormal behavior today, lowered her voice and asked: "Jiuniang, did you see something? Tell me carefully."
Jiuniang gently pushed the fish with a spatula. When she saw that the fish still couldn't be pushed, she let the fish continue to fry.
He turned to Ning Wei and said: "Last night, while the servants were cleaning up in the kitchen, Mr. Hu came to the kitchen looking for some wine. He said he was happy and wanted to drink some.
The servant gave Mr. Hu two jars of red wine, and he took the wine and left."
