Chapter 1452: After Modification: Chapter 1449 News

The servants standing nearby and watching the scene all kept their heads down, occasionally stealing curious glances.

Chu Ziluo had already gotten used to her parents’ shows of affection as if no one else was around. As their long-suffering child, she was accustomed to it and only focused on the lamb skewers, ignoring the couple.

As soon as a layer of honey was brushed on, the aroma of the roasting meat instantly filled the air, making the nearby servants struggle to keep from drooling.

Ye Muyu handed ten lamb skewers to the few attending servants, including Su Mei, “You all can eat these.”

“Thank you, Madam.”

The servants hadn’t expected to get lamb skewers personally grilled by Ye Muyu and felt deeply honored; they were reluctant to take a bite.

But once they tasted it, no one could resist.

They devoured them whole, barely savoring the flavor before they were gone.

Chu Heng ate elegantly. He had full confidence in Ye Muyu’s cooking and was not surprised by the others’ reactions.

Ye Muyu roasted some pork belly skewers next.

Chu Heng, beside her, pulled off the lamb skewers and occasionally fed her a piece.

Chu Ziluo ate her lamb skewer in silence, feeling very happy. There wasn’t much difference between her own cooking and her mother’s. With a bit more practice, she was sure she would master the culinary skills.

If Mother could win over Father with her cooking, she definitely could too!

Ye Muyu had no idea that her daughter had already grasped the idea that winning a man’s heart starts with winning his stomach.

Once the food was prepared, Ye Muyu stopped to rest and followed Chu Heng back to their room to eat slowly.

Outside, Su Mei and others stood by the cook, learning how to roast skewers. The flavors varied, but the meat was well-marinated, making it delicious even without extra seasoning; the worst batches were still pretty good.

There were plenty of lamb skewers prepared. Ye Muyu was not a stingy person. She and Chu Heng couldn’t finish them all, and Ziluo was still small and prone to overheating, so she couldn’t eat too much.

In the end, the entire Chu family’s servants got a taste. Almost everyone got a share of the lamb skewers, but only Su Mei and a few others were lucky enough to taste the ones personally made by Ye Muyu.

Having eaten too much in the evening, Ye Muyu went for a walk in the yard to digest.

Ziluo wanted to practice making lamb skewers and was busy with the cooks in the mansion.

Chu Heng had already gone back to his study to handle official business.

When Lu Chuan came in and saw Ye Muyu, he nodded in greeting.

“Here to see Ah Heng?” Ye Muyu asked casually.

Lu Chuan nodded, “Yes. I’ve met the Madam.”

“Then go ahead.” Ye Muyu waved her hand and continued strolling around the yard. In the north corner, there was a grape arbor that bore clusters of amethyst grapes in the summer. By winter, the vines had withered, and the leaves had fallen.

Lu Chuan scratched his head at Ye Muyu’s leisurely demeanor and quickly entered the small study.

“Master, there is news from Madam Tang.” Lu Chuan had unexpectedly received news about Madam Tang, as he usually didn’t handle such matters; Duke Zheng’s people were always watching him.

“Today, I went to find someone to forge iron sheets for the Madam and happened to see Madam Tang and her maid leaving the medicine shop. I investigated and found out that Madam Tang was there for health treatments, seemingly preparing for pregnancy.”

Lu Chuan wasn’t stupid. A woman preparing for pregnancy usually has different feelings towards the child’s father.

But what surprised him most was that despite Duke Zheng’s advanced age, he could still father children. Could he really manage?

Such thoughts, of course, he was too embarrassed to voice. Knowing the importance of the news, he rushed back to report to Chu Heng.
