The Grand Commander did in the end take a clean spoon from the Eight Immortals Table and "give" it to her.

Meng Qianqian held the little girl in her arms, folded a clean handkerchief and placed it under her chin, then slowly fed her with the handle of a porcelain spoon.

The little guy opened his mouth and sucked it impatiently.

Seeing that the little guy really ate it, Lu Yuan narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, as if he was a little surprised.

"Have you ever taken care of a child?"

he asked casually.

Meng Qianqian said: "I have a younger brother at home."

Lu Yuan folded his arms and looked at her lazily: "Your younger brother Meng Lang is only one year younger than you."

He actually called out her brother's name accurately. I'm afraid even her husband Lu Lingxiao might not know it as clearly as he did.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Even though it's only been less than a day, the most ruthless man in the world would bring his child to find her in the middle of the night. He must have checked her entire family.

"Cousin."

Meng Qianqian said.

"You are also in charge of my cousin?"

"My pleasure."

The little guy smacked his lips, looking at Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian from time to time, as if he was listening to what they were talking.

Meng Qianqian looked into the little guy's big dark eyes and said, "You can tell at first glance that this child is not even a year old."

Lu Yuan curled his lips and said arrogantly: "If I say she is one year old, then she is one year old."

Yes, who else but you can call a deer a horse?

Meng Qianqian stopped talking and concentrated on feeding the baby.

Lu Yuan sat on a bare stool with no backrest and no footrest, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He exuded a cold and irritable vibe.

You can see that he is trying his best to endure it.

No one in the capital city could have expected that the all-powerful commander-in-chief would one day be so frustrated by a little kid that he couldn't even vent his anger.

I don’t know how long it took, but the little guy was finally full. He burped twice, raised his little chin, and fell asleep very proudly.

During this time, neither Meng Qianqian nor the Grand Commander mentioned the Lu family's attendance at the one-year-old celebration banquet.

One of them doesn't care, and the other doesn't care either.

Meng Qianqian didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already the next morning. The commander-in-chief and the little guy were gone.

If it weren't for the faint scent of milk lingering in her arms, she would have thought that the father and daughter had never been there.

She caught a cold, so she did not go to pay her respects to the old lady, but stayed alone in Haitang Courtyard to recuperate.

Nanny Li stewed bird's nest for Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian was eating when the housekeeper from Fengyuan came over.

It turned out that Lin Wan'er had picked out several pieces of fabric yesterday and had them delivered to her house.

It was delivered early in the morning and I am waiting for payment at my house.

Meng Qianqian said: "Let her tie it herself. Why ask me for help? I didn't buy the material."

Nanny Qian was shocked beyond words.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Meng Qianqian asked, "Anything else?"

Madam Qian came back to her senses and said in doubt, "There is indeed a second thing. Fengyuan needs to eat a bowl of blood swallows every day to replenish Miss Lin's energy and stabilize her pregnancy. But there is a fixed number of blood swallows in our house. You can go to the storehouse to get as many as you want. Today, Luluo went to get it, but she didn't get any."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Nanny Li, thinking that it was Nanny Li who was making things difficult for Fengyuan.

After all, the eldest young lady had been a soft persimmon in the mansion for several years, and was known to be generous and easy to control.

Meng Qianqian put down the spoon and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "It's my idea. If Miss Lin wants to eat, let her pay for it herself."

Bird's nests are precious and are shipped from far away. When they arrive in the capital, they can be sold at a high price of thirty taels per catty. Blood bird's nests are even more expensive, even a hundred taels is a bargain.

The old lady eats one bowl every day, and sometimes the second lady and Lu Linglong would also go to get a few bowls. This is not to mention the old lady who eats and takes some back to her parents' home. Every month, she spends hundreds of taels of bird's nest alone.

Meng Qianqian was reluctant to eat it before, but look, she has been feeding a bunch of ungrateful people for many years.

Madam Qian looked at the large bowl of blood swallows left on Meng Qianqian's table and said with a wry smile, "Isn't Miss Lin also trying to expand the Lu family? How can Miss Lin pay for this money herself? Besides, you can't eat so much by yourself, it would be a waste, right?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Even if I eat half and pour out the other half, that's my business. If she doesn't want to pay, then don't eat."

Nanny Qian didn't expect the eldest young lady's attitude to be so tough, so she hurried to Fushouyuan to report to the old lady.

The old lady was so angry that she sent the nanny beside her to scold Meng Qianqian, telling her not to be ungrateful, saying that the ingredients were bought for her future great-grandson and the bird's nest was also for her future great-grandson to eat.

Meng Qianqian said, "Since Grandmother loves her precious great-grandson so much, why not take out the money from Fengyuan as a token of your appreciation? It's not expensive, only about seven or eight hundred taels."

"Did she really say that?"

"Yes, old lady, it is absolutely true. I dare not lie."

The old lady was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "This girl is rebellious!"

She wouldn't pay even seven or eight hundred taels!

The nanny asked, "I heard that the eldest young master brought Miss Lin to the banquet yesterday. Is it because of this?"

The old lady said angrily, "Isn't it her own fault? Someone helped her out, but she wasn't grateful. Instead, she cut off their spending... I told you not to marry a girl from a small family like this. She's always jealous of others. No wonder Xiao Ge'er won't enter her room!"

Begonia Courtyard.

After Meng Qianqian finished eating the bird's nest, she said to Li Ma, "After I finish this batch of bird's nest, I will never buy it again."

Nanny Li hesitated: "If this happens, then the old lady won't have anything to eat, right?"

Meng Qianqian said: "I still say that, if you want to eat, buy it yourself."

Having suffered so much injustice yesterday, Matron Li can understand any decision the young lady makes today.

You can vent your anger, but you can't touch the principles.

The old lady is the principle of the Lu family.

Nanny Li closed the door.

"Miss, please be honest with me. What are your plans? Do you want to put pressure on the Lu family and control Miss Lin, or -"

Meng Qianqian shook her head: "Why should I control her? As long as she doesn't bother me, I can ignore her."

Madam Li said, "The young lady did this..."

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "Mammy, it was the Lu family who came to ask to marry me. My grandfather was reluctant to let me marry far away at such a young age. The old man repeatedly promised that he would treat his granddaughter well and would never let her suffer any grievances in the Lu family. In the past few years, I have fulfilled my duties as a wife and the filial piety of a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. I gave everything I should and shouldn't give, but what did I get?"

"A husband who doesn't love her, and an in-law family that drains her dry."

"Mammy, I don't want to do this anymore."

Early in the morning, Lu Lingxiao went to the military camp, and when he came back he heard about the material and bird's nest.

He frowned and said, "Let Songzhuyuan tie the knot first."

The servant said, "The money for the Pine… Bamboo Courtyard is gone. Young Master, from today on, you are a pauper."

Lu Lingxiao's body trembled!
