The Otherworldly God

Chapter 145

Originally, the greetings could be paid when they were all gathered together, and then each of them could be offered tea and greetings one by one. However, because of the incident of a maid being killed yesterday, Le Zheng decided to give the Mu family a cold shoulder.

So, at the suggestion of several masters, Mu Xin and Le Zheng Yuhua had to go to their courtyards and pay their respects to them one by one.

The first one is of course the head of the family. In fact, the parties involved did not agree with this proposal, but as the head of the family he had to express his opinion and could only agree.

First, the little boy reported that Le Zhengqin had not woken up yet, and deliberately made them wait for a quarter of an hour.

Then when paying his respects, Le Zhengqin looked unhappy again, which made Le Ying very angry. If Mu Xin hadn't stopped her, she would have definitely made a scene.

Le Zhengqin just greeted him, offered him tea, listened to a few words of instruction, and including the waiting time, it was over in about fifteen minutes.

After Mu Xin left, Le Zhengqin frowned in pain, lamenting that he didn't know how long he would have to continue being a "bad guy".

After Mu Xin and the others left, the children and servants who saw Mu Xin's appearance started talking about her.

Some were jealous of Le Zheng Yuhua for marrying such a beautiful wife, while others were jealous of Mu Xin’s background and deliberately said that she was too thin and looked like she could be blown away by the wind.

Finally, after Le Zheng Hongjun's rare scolding, everyone stopped talking and dispersed.

Le Zhengfang's Qianhe Cottage was a little far from Le Zhengqin's yard, and in a remote place. If Le Zheng Yuhua hadn't known the way, there would have been no one to ask on the road.

"Le Zheng is obviously making things difficult for the young lady and the son-in-law by doing this. This is really too much."

"I'm sorry, I'm not doing well in Lezheng, and I've caused trouble for you."

"Husband and wife should share happiness and adversity, and there is no such thing as not getting involved. As long as we do it well, Le Zheng is embarrassing himself by doing this, and I am just laughing at him. Fortunately, you are the one who came with me today, otherwise Yun Xiu would have to tear this place down."

"I would like to tear it down, but I don't have Sister Yunxiu's ability."

"Look, the scenery here is so beautiful, it wouldn't hurt to take a walk, right?"

Le Ying also knew that Mu Xin couldn't distinguish colors, so how could she know whether the scenery was beautiful or not? She was just saying words to comfort him.

She recognized that this was Qianhe Lake, where she lived in the past. The lingering figure and the crying baby in her mind made Le Ying almost cry, if she hadn't noticed there was someone behind her.

"Who?"

Le Zhengying was discovered and hurriedly pretended to have just seen them and saluted Mu Xin.

"Ying'er greets Miss Mu." Then she looked at Le Zheng Yuhua and blamed him for not bowing to her: "You kid, now that you have a wife, you don't consider me your senior sister anymore?"

"Yuhua has met Senior Sister Ying."

"Xin'er has met Senior Sister Ying."

Their eyes were fixed on the bowl of soup in her hands, the aroma couldn't be concealed even with the heavy lid.

"You are here to pay your respects, right? Master thought you must be hungry when you came here, so he asked the kitchen to prepare some fish soup, which is still hot. Come with me quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Le Zhengying walked to the front with a guilty conscience and a smile to lead them. After turning around, the smile gradually disappeared, and he was still thinking about what Mu Xin had just said.

"As long as we do it well, Le Zheng is embarrassing himself by doing this, but I am just seeing it as a joke."

"Yes, just as Miss Mu said, what these masters asked us to do today is just to make outsiders laugh at us, and they think they have established their prestige."

"Senior Sister Ying is Aunt's only disciple, right?"

"Yes, I'm too stupid. No master wanted me, so I had to beg my aunt to take me in. I said, it doesn't matter if I'm not a disciple, I can just be a little boy. My aunt found me annoying, so she had no choice but to take me in."

"I see Senior Sister Ying as kind as an elder sister."

"Really? Oh, by the way, I just happen to have something I want to ask Miss Mu."

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't you send some cakes yesterday? Master liked them very much, so I thought about making some for her occasionally to satisfy her cravings. Miss Mu, can you teach me?"

"I seldom make cakes, and I'm not particularly good at them. The ones I gave to Auntie yesterday were made by our family's cook. But Le Ying happens to know how to make them, and she's quite good at making osmanthus crystal cakes. You can learn from her."

Unexpectedly, Mu Xin pushed her out directly. She didn't have the confidence that she could hold back when facing Le Zhengfang.

She also knew clearly that if she couldn't even take this step, how could she get revenge?

"Osmanthus crystal cake is also very much loved by the second young lady of the Shi family, so I learned it for a while, but I am not as good as the chef at home, maybe I am just a little stupid. If Miss Ying'er wants to learn, I can teach you how to make it, and you can figure it out yourself."

"Actually, I do know how to make this kind of osmanthus crystal cake, but I tasted the crystal cake that Miss Mu sent me yesterday, and it didn't look like osmanthus. I wonder what kind of flowers the chef in Miss Mu's family used?"

Le Ying glanced at Mu Xin before she replied boldly, "Osmanthus, that is osmanthus, but it is picked from Meili Snow Mountain, and some people also call it ice osmanthus. It just so happens that there is one planted in the young lady's yard, and she occasionally uses it to make food. The taste is better than ordinary osmanthus. If it weren't for Miss Qinchu watching, it would have been ruined beyond recognition."

"Isn't she a new member who has only been in the Mu Mansion for two months? How come she seems to be very familiar with the affairs of the Mu Mansion? And the osmanthus flowers are usually picked in September, and it's only July now. Could it be that the frozen osmanthus is special?" Le Zhengying hid his doubts in his heart and asked, "I wonder if it is a new osmanthus or an old osmanthus?"

"Ice osmanthus is not easy to store and is afraid of heat, so it is naturally freshly picked. If it is used as an ingredient, it will turn into water when exposed to heat. If it is used as an ingredient by an ordinary cook, its unique fragrance cannot be retained. It is different if it is protected by ice. In summer, picking some ice osmanthus and placing it in ice cubes can not only keep you cool, but also make the house fragrant."

"Hearing what you said, we can't grow it here. We were thinking of planting a laurel tree. What a pity."

"How about I teach you other pastries?"

"Thank you Miss Le Ying. I won't be polite from now on. You and your wife should not find me annoying by coming to your house every day."

"Sister Ying, come anytime. We welcome you anytime. If Le Ying didn't know the rules and was talkative, I would have asked her to come every day to teach you. I wouldn't have bothered you to run back and forth."

"There are no rules for me. Master is just a greedy person. If he knew that Miss Le Ying was here to teach me how to cook, he would be so happy that he wouldn't even talk about rules."

"Cough cough!"

Two coughs were heard from afar. It was Le Zhengfang who came out. Le Zhengying, like a child who had done something wrong, gave them a soft "hush" and then walked over quickly with the soup.

"I met the master."

"I thought you were out fishing."

"I'll bring it in right away."

"I met my aunt."

"You should greet someone properly. This won't do. Let's go in and talk."

"Yes."

Le Ying was walking at the end and couldn't help but turn around to look at a villa in the distance.

"Today, the first step of revenge has been taken. Ah He, I am finally back, but you will not recognize me, right?"
