After the daughter was treated harshly by her family, everyone knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 1018 This is Concern

The master grabbed her wrist, and Teng Elan stopped using her chopsticks.

"Why don't you eat it?"

“How can I know if a dish is delicious if I don’t taste it?”

"Don't be nervous, Master. You've practiced so many times, so it will definitely be effective."

"The dishes are not very attractive, but that's not a problem. I was like this when I first started learning to cook."

Zhuang Rui's explanation was concise and clear.

"I'm not worried that the food won't taste good, but I'm worried that you might get sick from eating it."

"It would be better to find someone to taste the food."

Teng Elan had a complicated expression.

"Master wants to harm his family again?"

Zhuang Rui was confident and righteous.

"What do you mean by entrapment? Madam, you used the wrong word."

"I cooked this myself. This shows my concern."

Teng Elan broke out in a cold sweat.

"Okay, I'll change that."

"Master wants to care about his family again?"

Zhuang Rui acted somewhat forced and argued convincingly.

"The rich and powerful should not oppress the common people. I can't give this dish to the servants in the mansion to taste. I can only ask my family to taste it."

Teng Elan was stunned.

"Bullying?"

"Why do you say that, Master? Didn't you say that this was out of concern?"

Zhuang Ruili's words are upright and honest.

"Inviting your family to taste it is a sign of care."

"To disturb servants while they are working is to oppress them."

"Is there a problem?"

Teng Elan was unable to refute.

"Master, you are a very eloquent person."

"no problem."

She thought about it and pleaded earnestly.

"Can you let the other family members go and let me taste it?"

“What if they don’t like the food, and it ruins their mood and makes them unable to sleep well?”

Zhuang Rui’s words are insightful and to the point.

"My thoughts are like priceless treasures, priceless. How could they think they are not delicious?"

"I guarantee they'll be so happy they'll sleep till dawn."

Teng Elan was full of concerns.

"But what if they get sick from eating this?"

Zhuang Rui took it for granted.

"If you have an illness, just treat it. It's such a simple thing."

"They can find a doctor themselves, so we don't need to worry about it."

Teng Elan continued to plead.

"I can also treat my illness and find a doctor myself."

Zhuang Rui vetoed.

"No, I won't."

Teng Elan was anxious.

"Why don't you allow it?"

Zhuang Rui quickly thought of an excuse.

"You're so busy with work that you go in and out of the state governor's office almost every day."

"The governor of the state is under the command of Prince Dijin. How could you hide your illness from your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"My father-in-law is kind and won't give me any trouble. But how can I bear the criticism from my mother-in-law?"

"Also, my dear father-in-law, upon hearing that you were ill, you must be heartbroken and resentful that you couldn't accompany and care for you. How could you bear to let them worry so much?"

Teng Elan was in a dilemma and could only sigh.

"I...sigh."

Zhuang Rui was very happy and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, ma'am, just think it through."

He picked up the jade bowl and jade plate and put them into the food box.

"At this hour, Third Sister is probably practicing calligraphy. It's a perfect opportunity for her to try my delicious food and cultivate her literary talent."

"I'll send it to her right away."

Unable to bear Hui'er's suffering, Teng E-lan tried to stop her.

"Master has given her a few tastes of it, and each time it upset her stomach. Every failure is a lesson learned. Now, Hui'er must be on guard."

Zhuang Rui changed his mind.

"Then I'll take it to Youqing Mansion and invite Big Brother to taste it."

Teng Elan grabbed the master's wrist and wouldn't let him leave.

"Master, have you forgotten? The first time you cooked, you invited your eldest uncle to taste it."

"The second time you go, you won't be able to find him. From then on, whenever you are found entering the kitchen, it's as if Big Uncle has vanished from the world, leaving no trace."

Zhuang Rui suddenly realized.

"Oh, yes, big brother is difficult to deal with."

"Well, ma'am, you have a point. We won't look for him."

"Mother should not have gone to bed yet. Let's go to Yujie Residence quickly."

Teng Elan used moral principles to persuade the master.

"Brothers and sisters, just play around and stop bothering mother."

"As the old saying goes, a gentleman and a virtuous person should be filial and respectful, and should not act rashly."

Zhuang Rui was in a dilemma.

"If not looking for mother, then looking for father?"

"My father has left Beijing and his whereabouts are unknown. Where can I find him?"

"His schemes are unpredictable. Even if I could find him, I wouldn't be able to defeat him."

Teng Elan emphasized.

"Master, didn't you hear me?"

"One should be filial and respect the benevolent. Respect, benevolent."

"Zun refers to father, Dad; Ci refers to mother, Niang."

Zhuang Rui felt helpless after hearing this.

"I know what Zunci means."

"If you exclude them all, who will be left among the Zhuang family members?"

Teng Elan pointed at herself.

"I."

Zhuang Rui felt even more helpless.

"You... have been going around in circles, all the way back to yourself."

"I told you not to taste it."

Teng Elan stared at the master.

"Then, you're the only one left."

Zhuang Rui decisively refused.

"I don't taste it either."

"I'm not stupid, so I won't suffer this."

Teng Elan took the opportunity to persuade them to stop.

"Then next time, Master, keep trying."

"That's all for today's cooking training."

Zhuang Rui is stubborn.

"Madam, how can you waste food? I want to find someone to eat it."

He had an idea.

"Have it!"

Teng Elan felt vaguely uneasy.

"What's left?"

Zhuang Rui smiled complacently.

"I'm going to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor."

"Knowing me, if I cook for him, the emperor will surely be very pleased and will be eager to eat it all."

Teng Elan couldn't help but feel scared.

"it's not good."

"If you damage the dragon's body, you might end up dead."

Zhuang Rui comforted her.

"Don't worry, ma'am, it won't happen."

"I have my measure."

Teng Elan suggested.

"I'll accompany you to the palace."

Zhuang Rui declined.

"Aren't you tired? Rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow to work."

Teng Elan was worried.

"It is very unsafe for the master to enter the palace alone."

Zhuang Rui was relaxed and at ease.

"Madam, you worry too much."

"For so many years, I have entered the palace alone. Don't worry, it's okay."

"Go take a shower, change clothes, and go to bed."

After confirming that his wife had gone into the bathroom, Zhuang Rui smiled triumphantly and rushed to Yujie Residence as quickly as possible. Unexpectedly, his mother was not there.

Will she stay at Sishaoju tonight?

Her father left Beijing, so why did she stay at Sishaoju? Was she reminded of him by the things he had seen?

After thinking about it, he hurried to his father's residence, but still could not find his mother.

Fang Zhixuan's attendant, Lu Siwei, has been ordered to stand guard and wait here.

"Who is the Second Young Master looking for?"

Zhuang Rui gave a simple bow.

"I respectfully wish you the best, Lord Lu."

"My father is away, and you, my Lord, are busy reporting for duty. You should go to the Secret Service. Why are you staying here?"

Lu Siwei has a bright look and a handsome appearance.

"Before leaving the capital, Lord Bo ordered me to rest during the day and be on guard at night. If it happens that the governor, Lord Teng, is on his day off, I must be on guard all day."

Zhuang Rui understood his meaning and felt unhappy.

"What do you mean, father?"

"Guard against whom?"

Lu Siwei was humble.

"Forgive me for not making any speculations."

Zhuang Rui asked.

"Where is Jia Ci'an?"

Lu Siwei answered.

"My wife just went out."

Zhuang Rui was shocked.

"Going out so late? Where's mother going?"

Lu Siwei told the truth.

"Master, please leave a message. If it is confirmed that the Second Young Master was in the kitchen, then send the Madam out of the house for a while."

Zhuang Rui was shocked and dumbfounded.

"This...he...is unreasonable..."

"Master Lu, why are you working so hard? This is not your job."

Lu Siwei smiled.

"Thank you for your concern, sir."

"My Lord, you have advanced me wages and given me generous rewards. Moreover, with the Emperor's approval, I shall certainly accept your offer."
