Chapter 439: Chapter 440: Bro, Are You Poisoning Us?

Having these three family members who constantly teased her was really enough, Chu Lian felt completely helpless, "Get out, all of you."

Master Chu dragged Madam Chu along, "Madam, let’s go out, we shouldn’t get in the way of our son’s craft learning."

"Son, Mum is looking forward to the ’Golden House’ you’re making, remember to serve it when it’s ready," Madam Chu said as she walked out.

Chu Huan rolled her eyes at her brother and said with a deflated smile, "Remember, we’re all waiting to eat it."

Watching the three family members leave, Chu Lian felt regretting her decision was a mistake. How could she have forgotten about these three eccentrics at home?

In the kitchen, she tried again and again, and finally, on the fifth attempt, she made a dish that looked somewhat presentable, so she decided to bring it to the dining table.

Master Chu, Madam Chu, and Chu Huan were already waiting in the dining room.

"Mum, do you think the dish Brother made is edible?" Chu Huan was really doubtful.

Madam Chu’s facial expressions were a bit unnatural, "It should be, should be edible."

"..." See? Even her own mother didn’t quite believe her brother could make anything delicious.

"Let your father try it first."

"Yes, yes." Chu Huan nodded eagerly. She liked her mother’s idea.

Soon, the servants had served the dishes.

"Master, Madam, Miss, the dishes are all served."

"Alright, you can leave now."

The servants left, and Chu Lian entered the dining room, sat down at her place, and said helplessly to the three family members, "Aren’t you going to try it?"

Madam Chu and Chu Huan simultaneously turned to look at Master Chu, signaling with their eyes for him to taste it first.

Seeing this, Chu Lian held her forehead with both hands, thinking ’Aren’t these my own mother and sister, or are they afraid I’ve poisoned the food?’

Master Chu picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, and ate it without changing his expression, though his heart surged with emotion. His son’s heart, usually so cold towards women, was finally warming up. Even though the dish wasn’t much to speak of, encouragement was still needed, "Not bad at all."

Madam Chu and Chu Huan, believing it was indeed not bad, picked up their chopsticks and started eating with gusto. As soon as the food hit their mouths, their expressions changed instantly, and they spat the food out.

"Brother, are you trying to poison us?"

"Son, let’s just not cook anymore, shall we?"

Seeing how forthright her mother and sister were, Chu Lian was speechless. Did they need to be that blunt? Were they really her own family?

This time, the Kitchen Maid had been giving directions, so it shouldn’t have been too bad. She didn’t believe it, picked up the chopsticks, and took a bite.

Just like Master Chu, she ate without changing her expression, but internally she thought that it was slightly better than the first attempt. The previous dish had been barely edible, but this one was marginally easier to swallow.

It seemed that cooking was indeed a skillful activity, not something one could master after just one or two attempts. Perhaps Li Fugui really did have a talent for it. She needed to observe him more closely.

Looking at the two people who ate the awful dish without batting an eyelid, the dining table fell silent for a moment.

"..." Were Dad and Brother’s taste buds malfunctioning? They could eat something that tasted so bad.

"Brother, let’s not make this dish for that sister; it really is like poison."

Listening to her sister’s sarcastic comment, Chu Lian glared at her and said emphatically, "You don’t need to worry, I will definitely make a dish she can eat."

At those words, Chu Huan and Madam Chu both turned to look at Chu Lian.

"Brother, you’re finally speaking the truth!"

"Son, have you finally come to your senses?"

"..." What enlightenment? He just didn’t want the spoiled girl to look down on him, to say he was inferior to Li Fugui, "I’ve decided, I’ll cook the meals for the next few days, you’re all in for a treat."

"..."
