C76 (1/2)

Compared to the lanterns and decorations in the front yard, the back yard was much quieter due to the noise made by the guests.

Red ribbons of joy hung from the beams of the wall, fluttering in the breeze. Peach blossoms bloomed in all directions to please her. The willow trees Yi Yi Yi also seemed to add color to this big day of celebration.

Su He, who usually did not like the expression on his face, became gentle. He was happy for his master.

Thinking that he was going to feed his mistress on the orders of his master, he didn't dare delay any further and headed back to the kitchen.

Smoke swirled around the kitchen as the hot air drifted upwards, reflecting the sunlight coming in through the window in colors.

All the chefs in the house were running about the kitchen, looking for ingredients, and their movements were especially adept at adding oil and food. Although it was noisy like the front yard, and they were extremely busy for the feast, it was still very orderly.

Because Wei Yi had instructed him to prepare the pastries in advance, although Su He wasn't able to find the chef in charge of the pastries, he was able to see a few pastries that were specially placed on an empty table by the side with a single glance.

When Su He found the several pastries his master had given him, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped at the entrance of the kitchen, turned around and stood in front of the peach cake.

From time to time, the fragrance of peach blossoms would waft over. In order to look good, not only were the pastries floral, but there were even some small white things decorated on them. Su He did not know what those things were, but he felt that if they were beautiful, they would definitely suit their appearance.

Su He remembered that the last time he heard his wife mention it in her courtyard, Mo Yun really loved Peach Blossom Cake.

Since his wife hadn't eaten anything, she would definitely be hungry. Mo Yun, who had accompanied her for such a long time, probably wouldn't feel any better either.

Thinking about that, Su He found some papers from the side and carefully wrapped them with paper without any expression.

Wei Yi was in the front courtyard. His bright red wedding robe accentuated his handsomeness, and when he thought of the similarly dressed women in the backyard, his brows unconsciously softened as he spoke. Even the corners of his mouth quirked into a smile.

Wei Yi openly accepted the congratulations of the person opposite him and downed the cup of wine in one gulp. The wine slid down his throat and into his chest as the Adam's apple on his delicate neck moved.

On the cobblestone path, the chef could see from afar that Su He, who was carrying a plate of pastries, was quickly walking over. In an instant, his footsteps had become disorderly.

Su He's many years of training and experiences had resulted in him being extremely alert, especially when the other party was carrying a person. After seeing him and wanting to detour, he could not help but furrow his brows and sink his face.

”Halt.” His voice was without anger.

The brawny man was already scared to begin with. When he heard Su He's shout, his heart skipped a beat. Even his body couldn't help but shiver.

After all, this was his first time doing such a thing and he had been caught red-handed. Coincidentally, the one who was run into was Su He!

The brawny man had his head bowed, his body bent, his face buried in the ground, his expression hidden.

Su He walked up and saw that it was the pastry chef. Because he had seen him before, he slightly loosened his guard, but his brows were still furrowed.

”You're not in the kitchen today, why are you running here? Besides, you can enter the backyard? After being in the Palace for so long, you don't even know the rules? ”

Su He originally had an aura that caused fear in others. With such a harsh question, the chef's legs went limp.

What kind of luck was this!?

If he were to find out about the matter of suing Wei Yi, not only would he lose his life, he might even take the life of his entire family.

If he really got caught, would he be able to survive after revealing who was the mastermind?

The chef lowered his head, his eyes rolling around in his eye sockets as he spoke the words he had prepared beforehand.

Even if he were to stretch his head forward, it would still be a blade if he were to shrink back!

”This servant was originally disrespectful, but I saw this servant drink too much on the way back. This is not because the front yard is too eye-catching, it would damage the mansion's elegance, and he might get beaten up. Since there are fewer people in the back yard, I brought him back here. I did not expect to meet you, my lord. Please spare my life, milord. ” As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. However, the person on his shoulder nearly slipped when he moved.

The cook looked at him with a troubled expression.

Why is life so difficult! The cook was on the verge of tears. Was it easy to earn some money?
