Chapter 688: Chapter 693: Compensate Me_1
"Of course, I make sure to treat the child well with good food and drink every day!"
Qiao Duo’er said proudly, this little one was discovered in her home and moved for the first time there, a stroke of fate indeed.
Qin Longyun felt a bit jealous but then swelled with pride.
Still in the belly and already knows how to charm people, he’s going to be a real slick one.
The highlight of today quickly arrived, and that was the dumplings.
"The dumplings are here, make some room!" ChunTao reminded everyone.
Lord Qin looked at the dumplings placed in front of him, and the smile on his face stiffened, was this the punishment for his being late?
Looking at everyone else’s bowls, their dumplings were small and plump, a world apart from his.
"Why is this one mine?" Qin Longyun said with a face full of protest, just a moment ago everything was fine, so why were they picking on him now?
"Son-in-law, the miss personally made these for you."
ChunTao hurriedly explained, seeing how displeased the son-in-law looked, her miss was surely going to be upset.
Qin Longyun forced a dry laugh twice, "No wonder they are unique."
"What do you mean?" Chen Yiling asked with narrowed eyes.
"At first glance, they seem tastier than the others." Qin Longyun threw his integrity out the window and started eating one.
He had thought his dumplings would have more filling, but when he bit into one, it turned out to be all dough.
What could he say to that...
Chen Yiling asked expectantly, "Tasty, isn’t it?"
Qin Longyun nodded and stuffed the rest of the dumplings into his mouth, dumplings are indeed better with filling.
"Brother Qin, do you want to switch to another plate? There’s plenty of dumplings," Tan Zhenghong offered, finding it hard to watch.
Qin Longyun shook his head, "I’ll eat these, Ling’er made them well, they’re filling."
Chen Yiling was very satisfied, she knew Lord Qin wouldn’t look down on her.
What Qin Longyun was thinking about was finding a chance to talk to Qiao Duo’er and asking her to keep his wife out of the kitchen from now on.
Otherwise, he feared he’d have to eat ’moving’ food that would bring him to tears every time.
"ChunTao, why don’t you sit down and join us?"
Qiao Duo’er asked—a maid and a coachman had come with Ling’er, and since all the men who came with Qin Longyun were servants, it must have been hard for ChunTao to eat with them.
ChunTao promptly shook her head, "No, I’ll go to the kitchen later."
She was a servant and must not forget her place.
"This isn’t home, there aren’t so many rules here, go get a pair of chopsticks and join us," Chen Yiling commanded, leaving no room for refusal.
In a few days ChunTao would regain her freedom, and now was the time to shake off her servant’s mindset.
Otherwise, being bullied in her future marriage was inevitable.
ChunTao was still hesitant, but Chen Yiling kept her eyes on her until she gave in.
She would forever remember this kindness, from these people who never treated her as just a maid.
That night, Qiao Duo’er took out the deed to the property.
"This is what Yi Ling gave me today, the locations of the shops are all excellent. What do you think we should do with them?"
Tan Zhenghong swallowed hard, "My thought is, perhaps we should give the shops back."
What if Lord Qin got punished?
"Don’t worry, everything was obtained through proper channels. I’m asking about what ideas you have for the use of the shops," Qiao Duo’er asked helplessly, her man was just too honest.
After pondering for a while, Tan Zhenghong said, "Open two Duo Meifang stores, one in the county and one in Mansion City. We can also start a restaurant or something. Your cooking is the best, I can’t think of anything else."
