Chapter 142: 142 Birthday today, directly hitting 10,000 more updates

As she soaked the ingredients in her hand, she explained to the camera, "The Second Miss has returned home, and Old Master Yan said she’s too skinny and needs nourishing! I’m planning to make fish maw and pigeon soup for the Second Miss. Girls who can afford it should buy some fish maw, you don’t need too many ingredients, just pairing it with a few red dates and wolfberries is enough."

[Am I lacking red dates and wolfberries? What I’m lacking is fish maw!]

[Wow, as a native of Guangzhou, I want to comment that the quality of the fish maw Aunt Sun took out... it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen!]

[Stop looking, last time Aunt Sun mentioned this brand, just that small piece in her hand, it’s gonna cost sixty thousand yuan.]

[Sixty thousand yuan?!!! Is breakfast almost costing a hundred thousand now?!!!]

[Second Miss, the wind is too strong, it blew you and this old servant apart, wuwuwu...]

[I’m tired of saying I’m jealous... Can we see the servant’s room later? I want to know where I’ll be staying in the future?]

[Servant’s room? I’m more curled up! I’ll stay in the garden!]

To the netizens, these items were shocking, but to Aunt Sun, they were just everyday ingredients.

She quickly finished preparing everything and continued to take out another jar of ingredients: "Today, we also have three young guests. They shouldn’t eat anything too nourishing, so I will make cordyceps flower and pigeon soup instead."

[Though cordyceps flowers aren’t as nourishing, they’re not cheap, okay?]

[I dare not ask the price of these cordyceps flowers, for fear that you’ll mention a price that will scare me to death!]

[There are so many rich people, would taking me in kill them?]

Aunt Sun had five stew pots ready, placed them in the steamer, and then started to make other main dishes.

"Next, I’m going to make winter melon with shrimp, stir-fried mushrooms with beef in sauce, egg yolk tofu, steamed brown-spotted grouper, sweet and sour pork tenderloin..." she listed the dishes, "and one more dish of boiled Chinese broccoli."

Having said this, she began to organize the ingredients.

The barrage was stunned by the items she took out.

[What? Isn’t it just winter melon and shrimp? Why are you taking out baby azure dragons?]

[Lobster meat is one thing... The mushrooms are matsutake? The beef is 5A marbled beef?!!!]

[It’s over, with advanced ingredients present, even if she casually took out an egg now, I would think it’s been rolled in the Phoenix Nest...]

[Wuwuwu, does the manor still need a dog? I’m well-behaved and don’t bite, some leftovers will suffice!]

[Back when I was a mercenary, bullets would whoosh past my ears, and suddenly a bullet hit my helmet. I quickly lay down, took off my helmet to check, and it turned out to be your little Pearls.]

There are many bloggers on Douyin showing off their wealth, checking in at various high-end spots, taking photos in VIP suites...

But it’s rare to see someone like Aunt Sun, who casually takes out things so expensive it’s terrifying!

Especially her calm reaction, as if it’s all routine, highlighted just how inexperienced the netizens in the live stream were.

Yan Yueqing had been watching the live stream for half an hour and found it quite interesting.

It wasn’t until Yan Wang called out to her from behind that she came back to her senses, "Mama, Great-grandfather is looking for you."

"Alright," Yan Yueqing put away her phone, "Let’s go over."

With that, she held out her hand to her son.

Jun Residence.

Since the ending of the "National Parent" live stream, Housekeeper Mu had returned to his lazy days of watering the plants and feeding the cats.

In the house, except for him, everyone else was busier than one another.

Particularly Jun Jiu, who seemed to be dealing with something every day and would show up to report with deep dark circles under his eyes.

At night, after spending the entire day in the study, Jun Lii finally came downstairs.

Seeing him, Housekeeper Mu greeted him politely, "Master, I’ve prepared some Nourishing Spirit Soup for you. Would you like to drink it now, or shall I bring it to the study for you?"

"No need, I’ll go out for some fresh air."

"Alright."

Jun Lii was on his way out but suddenly remembered something and stopped, "Where’s Xiao Yan?"

"He’s at Miss Yan’s place in City C."

"What’s he doing there?" Jun Lii frowned, "Didn’t the Jun family send someone to pick him up? What about Xiao Yi?"

"It was Young Master Yan’s own idea," Housekeeper Mu said with a smile, "He said he would report in every day to ensure you wouldn’t worry."

This kid...

He’s getting more and more ideas.

Housekeeper Mu added, "Xiao Yi went to City C as well, but he didn’t stay at Miss Yan’s place. He chose a nearby hotel instead."

Jun Lii, upon hearing this, felt somewhat irritated, "Let him be."

With that, he started walking toward the garden.

After only a few steps, he turned back.

"Book a flight to City C for tomorrow morning."

Housekeeper Mu was not at all surprised by his master’s decision: "Okay, I will arrange it right away."

Once Jun Lii had given his orders, he lost all interest in his walk and headed straight back to the study.

Before long, Jun Jiu came down from upstairs with a huge stack of documents, his eyes as darkly circled as a national treasure’s.

Seeing Housekeeper Mu, the child was on the verge of tears, "Uncle Mu, the master is inhuman! He’s pushed through almost a month’s worth of work in these few days ... waaah, waaah, he’s rolling so hard, he’s going to kill me!"

"The master is going out on a trip, of course he would want to wrap up his work first," Housekeeper Mu consoled him.

"Going where ..." Jun Jiu looked up, "Does that mean I can take a day or two off secretly while he’s away?"

"City C."

At the mention of the place, Jun Jiu was energized, "Hahaha! Is the master planning to catch his own obedient son and bring him back?"

"Mhm," Housekeeper Mu nodded.

Actually...

He felt that bringing Young Master Yan back was of secondary importance!

The master’s true purpose, he suspected, was to go see Miss Yan...

As Young Master Yan’s birth mother, the master’s indifferent attitude toward her was quite intriguing.

After the paternity test report came out, Housekeeper Mu thought the master would reinvestigate the events of that year, but ... the man did not mention a word!

The calmer things seemed, the more suspicious they appeared!

Connecting this to the recent piling workload on Jun Jiu, Housekeeper Mu concluded — the master wished to investigate personally!

Jun Jiu was thrilled, "That’s great! When Young Master Yan comes back, the master will be all focused on educating the child, and probably won’t have time for me! I need to catch up on sleep."

"That won’t do," Housekeeper Mu said. "You shouldn’t go anywhere recently, just stay at home."

"Ah? Why?"

Housekeeper Mu’s gaze was sharp, "Tomorrow morning, I am going with the master to City C."

"You’re going too?!" Jun Jiu complained, "Then what about the house?"

Housekeeper Mu’s lips curled into a smile as if he were a ruthless capitalist, "After finishing up the company’s work, you can help me take care of the house. You don’t have a problem with that, do you?"

Jun Jiu was so startled that the documents in his arms scattered all over the floor.

Housekeeper Mu, with a kind and approachable manner, said, "Hmm, it looks like you’re quite willing, so I won’t be polite."

Jun Jiu: ???!!!

No!

Please no!!!

But Housekeeper Mu, slippery as an eel, quickly made his exit!

It was good that the master wanted to investigate the events from five years ago.

However... given the master’s character, he might not get along or communicate well with Miss Yan.

He needed to follow him there!

Sigh...

Not a dime of this housekeeper’s salary was earned easily.

Elsewhere.

In the Jiang Garden living room.

Steward Yan brewed a pot of fruit tea for everyone.

Tang Tang cradled the orange cup, drinking cutely.

"Yueqing, you’re here?" Old Master Yan looked up, "We have a guest coming to the house today."
