Yan Beichen looked around and soon noticed Jiang Youzhi sitting at the main table. He seed to sense sothing and suddenly shot a sharp glance over here.
Yan Beichen stared at Jiang Youzhi without flinching, his lips slowly curling up, then he raised his hand and gave Jiang Youzhi the middle finger.
Jiang Youzhi, being clever as well, figured this gesture wasn’t friendly, and snickered, returning the sa gesture.
The two n engaged in a silent competition.
However, this competition had no winner or loser for the mont.
The mastermind behind the gestures, Yun Jiao, didn’t stay in the Duke Mansion for the wedding feast; she returned to the Gu Family residence.
When she got back, Gu Yuheng was cooking in the kitchen. Yun Jiao wouldn’t let him go out, so recently, besides reading dical books at ho, he cooked for himself.
Granny Tian was just a rough servant, and the als she made were practically inedible, so Gu Yuheng had to learn to do it himself.
The first dish he made received praise from Gu Chuan, and it was eaten up completely, which greatly boosted Gu Yuheng’s confidence.
While he was busy cooking, Gu Chuan and Yun Jiao ca in together.
Gu Yuheng hurriedly said, "You both should go out, be careful not to get splashed with oil."
Gu Chuan sniffed, "Wow, this fried chicken slls amazing."
Gu Yuheng proudly said, "Of course, I specifically used tea oil today. You have no idea how expensive tea oil is."
Yun Jiao found it a bit funny. Her father had now beco a standard ho cook, but as she laughed, she suddenly had a revelation, "I got it!"
Gu Yuheng turned around, "What did you think of?"
Yun Jiao waved her hand, without saying anything.
Gu Yuheng didn’t press further, and soon he served the fried chicken. Yun Jiao went to take the dish, and Gu Chuan took the bowls and chopsticks.
The siblings seed to be back to their childhood, only missing two family mbers.
As the family ate in the main room, Gu Yuheng suddenly said, "I’ve thought it over; from now on, I don’t want to remarry. Stepmothers rarely have good intentions. From now on, I’ll rely on Xiao Chuan as father and son."
Yun Jiao didn’t say anything, as long as he didn’t bring Lady Li, who disgusted her, she was fine.
Even if Gu Yuheng wanted to remarry in the future, she wouldn’t oppose.
After dinner, Yun Jiao returned to the mansion under the escort of a guard.
Back at the mansion, she sent Cai Ping to find Lady Wu’s main maid, Lin Qiao. Cai Ping greeted Lin Qiao, "Our girl asked us to find the lady for sothing important. If the lady is free later, please pass a ssage to our courtyard, and the girl will co over."
Lin Qiao agreed.
At the hour of Xu, a young maid from Lady Wu’s courtyard ca over, saying the lady had just finished her chores.
Yun Jiao quickly took the maid and servants over to the main courtyard.
Lady Wu and the Duke were there, and Yun Jiao entered to pay her respects, glancing at the Duke hesitantly.
The Duke noticed Yun Jiao’s hesitation and smiled, "What’s wrong? Do you and your mother-in-law have sothing you can’t say in front of ?"
Lady Wu glared at him, "Then why aren’t you leaving quickly?"
Jiang Zhongxing chuckled and stood up to leave. Yun Jiao thought for a mont and said, "It’s nothing else, just the matter that wasn’t resolved last ti." She was afraid Lady Wu would not be clear if she explained.
Jiang Zhongxing’s steps halted.
Lady Wu asked puzzledly, "What happened last ti?"
Her expression suddenly changed as she waved the servants away, "Are you talking about Zhong Xing being unable to have children?"
Jiang Zhongxing’s face darkened.
Yun Jiao admired Lady Wu’s quick mouth. Earlier, she hesitated because she feared awkwardness. After all, discussing a future father-in-law’s infertility wasn’t a big deal to her; she mainly worried that the Duke might feel embarrassed.
