When Su Qian heard this, she looked at her daughter helplessly.

This child was indeed a blabbermouth. She had actually revealed her relationship with Gu Qingyou.

She hadn’t finished what she wanted to do yet, so she couldn’t expose that the Feng Lin Auction House was her influence. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for her to break off the engagement.

“Uncle Gu? Could it be Gu Qingyou, Great Steward Gu?” Lady Wen widened her eyes in shock. “No way, Qian’er, you know Great Steward Gu?”

“Yes, I know him. He has helped me a lot all this while,” Su Qian said after a moment of hesitation.

Su Ye could tell that Su Qian’s predicament. After clearing his throat, he said calmly, “Uncle Gu and Mother are good friends. They have a good relationship.”

“Good, good, good. That Gu Qingyou is the second-in-command of the auction house. It won’t be bad for us to be on good terms with their Feng Lin Auction House,” Nangong Lie said with a smile.

“So, Grandmother, you don’t have to worry about me, let me help.” Su Qian hugged Lady Zhou’s arm and said coquettishly.

“Sigh, you’ve really grown up. Alright, then do as you say.” Lady Zhou smiled and agreed.

“Thank you, Grandmother.” Only then did Su Qian feel relieved. Then, the family continued to enjoy their meal happily together.

Qian Rong delivered the message that Gu Qingyou had something important to discuss with her, Su Qian was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to stay with the Nangong family. After lunch, she took her children and left the Nangong family.

After returning to the Su residence, Su Qian led the children home. She took a deep breath and instructed Qian Rong, “Qian Rong, go inform the chef in the kitchen that they don’t have to prepare dinner tonight.”

“Mother, are you taking us out to eat?” Su Qingqing raised her head and asked innocently.

Su Qian shook her head and smiled gently. “No, tonight, Mother will cook a nutritious meal for the two of you.”

The two children immediately felt weak in their legs.

“Mother, there’s no need. You’ve been busy for the past few days. It’s not easy for you to take a break. Why do you have to tire yourself out?” Su Ye tried his best to maintain a smile.

“Yes, Mother. What do you want to eat? Brother and I will help you make it. You don’t have to worry about it.” Su Qingqing thought of what Su Qian had done, and her legs couldn’t help but tremble.

“You’re really my good child. But don’t worry, I am fine. Now that the Su family is gone, I’m refreshed and have endless strength. It won’t be a problem for me to cook!” Su Qian didn’t notice the twitching corners of the children’s mouths. She raised her hand and touched their little faces. “It just so happens that I have learned a few new recipes. I’ll make them for you to try tonight.”

As soon as Su Qian finished speaking, she heard a woman’s laughter from behind.

“I didn’t expect Miss Su to be so skilled. She’s actually a good cook. It makes me want to try it too.”

She was obviously trying to feign enthusiasm, but this young lady’s voice was really too lively and delicate. Not only did it not annoy people, but they could not help but be curious.

Su Qian held the children’s hands and turned to look at the young lady not far behind her.

Ji Wanwan, dressed in a white dress, jumped out of the carriage happily and walked over to Su Qian. She bowed and greeted, “Hello, Miss Su.”

“Miss’s voice sounds so familiar. If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Eldest Miss of the Blood Demon Pavilion, right?” Su Qian sized up Ji Wanwan and was very sure that she had not recognized the wrong person. She was even more curious about why Ji Wanwan had come to look for her.

“Miss Su is really smart. You recognized me just by hearing my voice.” Ji Wanwan smiled at Su Qian. “Miss Su, I haven’t eaten yet. Why don’t we sit down and talk slowly?”

She wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. Su Qian felt that this Eldest Miss Ji was even more difficult to deal with than the First Elder.

However, before Su Qian could say anything, Su Qingqing and Su Ye walked over enthusiastically and held her hands respectively. With the mentality that if they could drag one of them to death, they definitely wouldn’t die themselves, they brought Ji Wanwan into the house. “Since this aunt wants to taste Mother’s cooking, why not stay and try it with us?”

Anyway, since Ji Wanwan was here, she had to eat. The more she eat, the less they would have. Moreover, they guaranteed that after Ji Wanwan witnessed her mother’s cooking skills, she would definitely not come again in the future!

Ji Wanwan was flattered and happily followed the children into the Su family’s house.

Since everyone had gone in, Su Qian couldn’t say anything else. She could only continue to pretend and follow them in to prepare dinner.

An hour and a half later, Su Qian finished preparing dinner.

Ji Wanwan, Su Ye, and Su Qingqing looked at the table full of delicacies and fell into a deep silence.

There were a total of six dishes and one soup on the table. All of them were pitch-black and unrecognizable. They also emitted an indescribable burnt smell that made it clear they were not edible.

“Why are you all just sitting there without eating? Didn’t you say you were hungry?” Su Qian asked as she sat opposite the three of them and drank tea.

“Um… Miss Su, aren’t you going to eat?” Ji Wanwan didn’t even need to eat to know that this was a table full of dark cuisine. It definitely didn’t taste good!

As long as Su Qian had tasted it herself, she would definitely not force them to eat it!

“I ate a lot of snacks while cooking, so I’m not hungry. You can eat it.” Su Qian’s indifferent words shattered Ji Wanwan’s illusion and almost made her shut herself up.

Su Ye and Su Qingqing had obviously weathered the storm before. The two of them picked up the charred dishes on the table and put them into their mouths. They swallowed hard and forced a smile. “Mother, your cooking has improved again.”

“Brother is right, it’s really delicious…” After Su Qingqing finished speaking, she lowered her head and started digging for rice.

“If you like it, Mother will cook more next time.” After Su Qian finished speaking, she looked at Ji Wanwan.

Ji Wanwan was so frightened that she quickly picked up a piece of black pork rib that could barely be identified as pork rib. She put it into her mouth. It was bitter and salty, so much so that she almost died on the spot.

Ji Wanwan swallowed the pork ribs forcefully and praised with a mournful face, “Miss Su’s culinary skills are really extraordinary. I, I’ve learned something today.”

“Enjoy and eat more if you like it.” As Su Qian spoke, Qian Rong walked into the dining room.

“Master, the Ninth Prince is here.”

“Don’t see him.” Su Qian said expressionlessly.

“Don’t be like that! Mother, please let him come in. What if Ninth Uncle hasn’t eaten yet?” Su Ye looked at the table full of food and said anxiously.

“Yes, Mother, let Ninth Uncle in. I want to see him too.” Su Qingqing wanted Ninth Uncle to share the food on the table with them. Otherwise, what if they couldn’t finish the food and Mother was sad?

Even Ji Wanwan, who had never seen Xiao Yan before, said passionately, “Yes, quickly invite His Highness in!”

Su Qian was puzzled, but she still cooperated and invited Xiao Yan in..
