Zhou Peizhen greeted Jiang Qingyu and asked her to order whatever she wanted to eat.

Jiang Qingyu, who was still in surprise, curled the corners of her mouth. No matter who treated the dinner, wasn't it all the Liu family's money? Why was her aunt so excited?

"I just arrived and I don't know what delicious food there is. I'll just eat whatever I want. I'm not picky."

As soon as Jiang Qingyu finished speaking, Liu Jiayu, who was standing beside her, couldn't help it.

"Dad, Dad, it's my turn. I want all the signature dishes of Nanzhu Restaurant."

Ever since her family reduced her money, she hasn't eaten at Nanzhu Restaurant for a long time.

This was her favorite place to eat in the past. She was generous, ordered a lot of food, and brought many friends. The boss knew her and wished she would go there every day.

Now that she has some money, she wants to go to Yuanchunlin for a visit.

Even if the money couldn't attract Yun Xiao, she would be satisfied just to take a look at him.

So gradually, the food at Nanzhu Restaurant became a luxury for her.

Looking at Liu Jiayu who was so anxious and drooling, Zhou Peizhen felt helpless. Look how sharp the contrast is.

Her daughter seemed like she hadn't eaten in several lives.

"Liu Jiayu, can you learn from your cousin? Do you look a little bit like a girl?

Your saliva is hanging at the corners of your mouth. What a sight! Why don’t you wipe it for me?

Looking at how anxious you are, when has there ever been a shortage of food for you at home?

It's really like a starving ghost reincarnated."

"Mom, why do you scold me as soon as you come back?

Didn’t you say that you can order whatever you want? You can’t go back on your word.

Dad, you too, don’t forget the food at Nanzhu Restaurant.”

"Okay, Dad, don't forget it.

If I forget, you, the big devil, will tear down my study room, right?"

Liu Zixuan's words made Liu Jiayu feel embarrassed.

"Dad, please stop talking nonsense. When did my daughter become so violent? I have to learn to be a lady now."

Looking at his daughter who used to be carefree but now looked so timid, Liu Zixuan said he was scared.

"Haha, stop making trouble here, you will scare us like this, and your grandmother can't stand being scared now.

Mother, madam, do you want anything to eat?"

Ever since she fell ill, the old lady has lost interest in eating out.

Liu Zixuan knew that it was useless to ask, he was just asking symbolically.

Unexpectedly, the old lady actually spoke today.

“I don’t know if Xianglifang is crowded right now. I suddenly remembered their signature Xiangli Cake.

I haven’t eaten lotus cake and mung bean cake for a long time.

Right now, I just want this one."

The old lady smiled and told him what she wanted to eat. As she spoke of this, tears began to flow from her mouth, just like her second granddaughter.

When the old lady first fell ill, she had a poor appetite and ate much less. In just a few days, she became terribly thin.

They knew that the old lady loved the dim sum from Xianglifang, so they often bought them for her.

It turned out that in the end these snacks were either given as rewards to the servants or thrown away because they went bad, and gradually they bought less and less of them.

When Liu Zixuan heard that his mother started to ask for food on her own initiative, he thought it was a good sign.

Liu Zixuan responded excitedly

"Hey, mother, I'll send someone to buy it right away.

Madam, you haven't told me what you want to eat yet."

“Just order more food from Nanzhu Restaurant. I trust Erya’s taste.

Apart from anything else, she is good at eating, drinking and having fun.

If she can't forget it this much, it must be very unpalatable."

Liu Jiayu was embarrassed by her mother's words and smiled "hehe".

What her mother said was true. Since she was seven or eight years old, she had been eating, drinking and having fun in every street and alley in Jiangnan.

You asked her where her shop was and she didn't know.

But if you ask her where to find delicious food or fun things to do, she can tell you for a whole morning.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their ideas, Liu Zixuan said.

"Okay, I'll go make the arrangements first.

You ladies just rest in this room first. I will have someone bring the food here directly.

It's getting hot now, so let's not go back and forth. I'll ask someone to bring in some ice and we can eat here.

In the evening, we will go to the main hall and have a good meal to celebrate Qingqing's arrival."

After saying that, Liu Zixuan pushed the door open and went out, leaving only a few women in the room.

"Qingqing, I heard that you have been in Jiangnan for several days, but you didn't send anyone to tell me. Why did you only come to your house today?

You don't know how much your grandmother has missed you all these years.

Your uncle and I often talk about you, but we are afraid of disturbing you and dare not go to see you.

You may not believe it, but one year your uncle and I went to the capital to do business, and we happened to see you passing by in a carriage at an intersection. You were about seven or eight years old at that time.

Your uncle recognized you and ran after the carriage desperately just to see you a few more times.

Seeing that you are doing well, we feel relieved.

We didn’t even dare tell the old lady about this, for fear that she would think too much and make her condition worse.”

As she spoke, Zhou Peizhen picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Aunt, don't cry, it's all my fault.

It’s all my fault that I was young and ignorant back then and did something that made everyone sad.

Now I know that I was wrong and I want to apologize to everyone, but I’m afraid that everyone is still angry with me.

So I came here secretly. Originally, I thought I would come here secretly to see how everyone was doing and whether they were living well.

Unexpectedly, when I just arrived here today, I saw that my grandmother was sick because she missed me.

I couldn't bear to see her become like this because of me, so I mustered up the courage to reveal my identity and recognize everyone. "

The conversation between the two made the old lady lying beside them burst into tears, and she patted Jiang Qingyu's hand.

"Good boy, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here. How could grandma be angry with you?

You are a poor child, losing your mother at such a young age.

You can’t be blamed for what happened back then. It’s all Liu Siyi’s fault for causing trouble.

I will ask your uncle to talk to the second branch about this matter later and remove her from the Liu family.

Your second maternal grandfather felt sorry for your second maternal grandmother because your mother climbed into bed to give birth to her, so he never included her in the family tree.

The reason why she was included in the Liu family tree was because they wanted to marry her into the Duke's Mansion to give her face, and they even registered her under the name of your second grandmother, making her a nominal legitimate daughter.

This matter has always been a thorn in your second grandmother's heart, and now is the right time to remove it for her.

Humph, she asked for it, so don't blame us for not giving her face."

Jiang Qingyu only then realized the twists and turns involved. But even if she, Liu Siyi, was registered under the name of her stepmother, what was the use? Wasn't her identity as a concubine's daughter known to everyone in the capital?
