The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Ever since Lin Manqing showed up in front of all the wealthy families in the capital, Li House has been very lively these days. The wealthy families in the capital, starting from the Xijia family, have people visiting their doors every day.

This time, the kitchen was very busy.

Master Rong rarely cooked in person, but now Li Zhai's back chef has become a rather large team, and Master Rong's apprentices are now enough to support the facade.

But there were so many people in the past few days, and the dishes were so big, that the kitchen staff was tight, and he was worried that something might go wrong that would damage the Li family's face. So Master Rong picked up the horse spoon and the kitchen knife again, but even so, Still very busy.

"Master Rong, I will add some delicious dishes to the back room today." A maid came over and said.

"The back room?" Master Rong was stunned for a moment while holding the horse spoon, and then he remembered that Wu Jinshan was locked in the back room. He blew his beard and glared angrily and said, "I'm too busy, what kind of food should I add to that grandson? Good food! Get out!”

"It's Madam's order." The maid was neither humble nor overbearing in the face of Master Rong's anger.

Master Rong rolled his eyes and threw the spoon into the big iron pot. It made a clanking sound and the apprentice next to him was startled.

"Add two more dishes to the back room! Okay - dishes -" Master Rong lengthened his voice and shouted angrily.

The apprentices got started immediately, and soon the vegetables were ready. One plate was fried with green onions and sea cucumbers, and the other was like honey.

Boss Wang swayed with his hands behind his back, sniffing and came in, smiling: "What does this room smell like? It's fragrant and irritable! Old Rong, who messed with you?"

"Tch! Who is messing with me? It's not the grandson in the back room. I'm very busy here, and I have to give him some good food! I'm so busy!"

Master Rong banged the iron pot, as if he hated these two dishes, and shouted impatiently, "Take it away! Take it away!"

The maid rolled her eyes at him, put the dishes in a special basket, and walked out.

Boss Wang looked back at the maid's back and said with a smile: "Old Rong, Old Rong, it's time to change your bad temper. Mother Wu is the old man here, why are you angry at her?"

"I'm not targeting Mother Wu. I'm just angry. Wu Jinshan's grandson is obviously a disaster, and I still have to take care of him!"

Boss Wang said: "You just stir-fry two dishes, and you don't even think about it. Mother Wu is going to deliver the dishes to others. Aren't you more aggrieved than you?"

Master Rong thought for a while, and probably felt that it made sense. He also felt that he had gone too far, and said, "Okay, I'll add another dish later to make amends to Mother Wu."

Wu Ma was one of the first people to enter Li's house. Several people who came in with her all died in the Wu Yuchun poisoning incident. Wu's mother was a survivor. She felt unwell that day and took leave to go to the hospital.

Li House now has more than just one housekeeper, Hou Qigui. Hou Qigui is the general manager. Below the general manager, each house has a butler.

Wu Ma's education level is low and she cannot be a housekeeper, but her qualifications are such that only Master Rong dares to yell at her, but no one else dares.

Of course, Wu Ma is easy-going and kind, and she is also very popular. Hou Qigui rarely arranges heavy work for her now, and only asks her to do light things. If Lin Manqing comes, she will also be asked to follow Madam and do her bidding in front of and behind the house.

Lin Manqing was mainly surrounded by two people in the capital, one was Yin Ying and the other was Wu Ma.

Wu Ma carried the food box to the back room, said hello to the patrolling security guard, and walked to the room where Wu Jinshan was imprisoned.

When he was about to open the door, he saw Wu Yuqi coming over.

"Hey, Mother Wu, how can I trouble you to personally deliver meals to the prisoners?" said Wu Yuqi, who is now the security captain.

"Oh, Madam asked me to bring him two extra dishes." Wu Ma said as she opened the door.

"Additional vegetables? Let me see what vegetables are added?" Wu Yuqi came up and curiously opened the lid of the food basket to take a look.

Wu Ma let her go, just opened the door and walked in.

Wu Jinshan is locked in this room.

Although they say they are being detained, it is actually no different from staying in a hotel. The room is clean, equipped with tables, chairs, beds, and a high-definition TV. Meals are also served. In addition to not being able to go out, don't be too comfortable.

But Wu Jinshan was going crazy.

He is the second master of the Wu family. After coming to the capital, he has always wanted to get wind and rain. How has he ever suffered such a crime?

As soon as Wu Ma came in, he rushed up to her like crazy and shouted: "What are you going to do with me? When will you let me go back?"

But when he saw Wu Yuqi's knife-like eyes behind Wu Ma, Wu Jinshan's madness subsided and he sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Wu Ma looked back and saw that Wu Yuqi hadn't left. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't, so she took out the food from the food basket, put it on the table and said:

"Madam said, I will add two delicious dishes for you today."

Wu Jinshan was startled, with a hint of panic on his face, and asked: "Husband...what do you mean, madam?"

"Wouldn't it be better to add two delicious dishes for you? What are you afraid of?" said Wu Ma.

"No, it's impossible to add food for no reason. I know that the death row prisoner Qiu Hou will eat a good meal the day before his execution. Do you want to kill me?"

"You have to eat whether you die or not. What's the point of asking?"

"I……"

Wu Jinshan glanced at Wu Yuqi again, swallowed, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Wu Ma said: "You eat slowly, I will take care of it later."

She turned around and went out. Wu Yuqi took one look and also went out.

……

Lin Manqing and Hou Qigui were discussing matters in the inner hall.

Yin Ying came in and whispered a few words in Lin Manqing's ear.

Lin Manqing's face turned slightly solemn, and she nodded: "I understand."

After Yin Ying went out, Lin Manqing said to Hou Qigui: "The Jinzhou Wu family is more difficult to deal with than we thought. Even Mrs. Gemen Duan couldn't rescue Zhou Shaoyi. It seems I have to go there myself."

Hou Qigui said in surprise: "Mrs. Duan took action?"

"Yes, every move we make in the capital must be in the eyes of the other party. No matter who I send, the other party will notice it. So I simply stood still and detained Wu Jinshan for negotiations to make him relax his vigilance. At the same time, I asked Gemen to take action. I want to save Zhou Shaoyi."

Lin Manqing sighed, "I didn't expect that even Mrs. Duan would miss it."

"Is there anything wrong with Mrs. Duan?" Hou Qigui asked.

"That's not true. After all, he is the leader of the Ge clan and a descendant of the Mo family. How can something happen so easily? Although he was not rescued this time, Mrs. Duan also brought back some news, which is very useful to us."

"what news?"

"Wu Jinshan is the younger brother of Wu Jincheng, the old man of the Wu family. Wu Jincheng wants to save people, but his daughter Wu Hongli doesn't seem to be very keen. This is expected, but it makes me more sure that the power of the Wu family now lies with Wu Hong In Li’s hands.”

"In addition, there is a monk next to Wu Hongli. The two have a close relationship. This man is closely related to Wutai Mountain and has both Buddhist and demonic qualities. It was he who made Mrs. Duan miss. But judging from his attitude towards Wu Hongli, Wu Hong Li’s cultivation is above this person.”

"Also, Zhou Shaoyi has not spoken yet, and they have not used evil methods such as soul searching on him."

Lin Manqing stopped here, frowned and thought.

Hou Qigui said: "The Wu family is not a benevolent family. In addition to worrying about the public anger of Xuanmen, I am afraid there are other reasons."

"What do you think it will be?" Lin Manqing asked with a smile.

Hou Qigui thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the Wu family knows where the things are, and it doesn't matter whether Zhou Shaoyi tells them or not."

"You know where it is, why don't you look for it?"

"Because of that place, they can't find it."

"You mean..."

Lin Manqing and Hou Qigui looked at each other and suddenly laughed at the same time:

"Li Zhai!"
