Chapter 313: Dessert and sweet treats

While Mama Chi had made her escape, the old madam suggested that they all leave the parlor and go out for fresh air and stretch their legs.

Because the husbands usually followed their wives, the older crowd moved their party to the dining room. Even Minister Su and the emperor followed. The emperor was planning to leave because he had stayed for food and he was satisfied.

"Don’t you want to taste the cake?" minister Su asked.

The emperor contemplated for a while and then he said, "Well, maybe a little bit. I am only staying because you are insisting."

Minister Su would have laughed if it were anyone but the emperor. To preserve his life he said, "Yes I insist your majesty, please have some cake before leaving."

When the butler noticed that the older guests had moved to the living room, he hurried to ask the maids to come and cater to them.

Quickly fresh juice, wine, cakes, almond jellies, snow fungus soup with pears and other snacks were delivered.

"So many snacks!" the grand dowager commented, "and a note, what’s this?"

On each tray was a piece of paper with five other snacks which could be prepared on demand in the kitchen if one wanted.

"Wow, the Chi’s are going all out." One of the older women who were invited by the old madam commented. "I want glutinous rice balls."

"The food here is top notch; I wonder where they sourced their ingredients from." Another woman commented. She was none other than old master Tao’s tigress wife.

"Old Jun, I hope the little girl is not planning to make a move into the food business." Old master Tao said. "Yichen used to tell me all the time that the snacks she sends Muyang are so tasty but I assumed he was just shooting his mouth off as usual. She could give us a run for our money if she moved into our industry."

"Chi-Chi has no plans of starting any other business, she has to manage the ones she has." The old madam answered on her husband’s business.

Old master Tao beamed like a light at that confirmation. One more competitor in the market means less money for Tao foods.

"They prepared Chinese rice pudding with yellow rice. It’s the same rice they served for lunch." The emperor noted.

"It must be a new breed; I will ask her about it later." Minister Su answered.

Old master Huang called one of the maids, "Can I get fried milk?" he asked.

"Yes sir." The maid replied politely and off to the kitchen she went to make the order.

As others were surrounding the snacks and talking about the amazing food and snacks, madam An was whispering furiously to her husband.

"Somebody has been beating her up or used to beat her up Shiqing, where is the investigation report? Why has Caizu not reported back yet? I need to know who has inflicted pain on my child." Her voice was shaky, as if she wanted to cry but her eyes were spitting fury.

"Are you sure about this wife?"

"I heard it Shiqing, she whispered but I heard it and I saw the look on their faces when I asked. Even the Jun’s know about it." She said assuredly even though she had no evidence.

"I am going to talk to Bolin, all he told me was who she was but he never told me about her history. Whatever the outcome of the investigation is, I have made my mind up to chase her out of the Wang family clan. She will pay a heavy price for all the suffering our daughter has endured." Her husband replied.

His eyes too were spitting fire, extremely angry from the ugly news his wife had just delivered to him.

"When are we telling her Shiqing? I want to talk to my daughter comfortably; I almost grabbed her back when she run away from me after I asked who had beaten her. I don’t want to wait anymore, why are we waiting? Haven’t the years I had to spend mourning her death enough? I am an old woman, I don’t have many years left on earth and I would rather not waste a single minute away from her unnecessarily if I don’t have to." An Nuo answered her husband. Her eyes were and voice was reeking of desperation.

’We will return tomorrow when the guests are gone. We can’t ruin the party by breaking such news to her abruptly. I am sure that she will be happy, she looks like you; she has your eyes and chin." He told her.

Madam An smiled, "Really?" she asked slightly excited.

"Yes, haven’t you looked at her closely?" he asked tenderly.

"I was afraid to scare her off so I only stole a few glances. If I looked at her for too long I was afraid that I would scare her." She answered.

While they discussed in hushed whispers, Chi Lian came out of the kitchen with the fried milk. The little prince and Mei-Mei were like her little tails, following behind her while holding hands.

"Fried milk is here." She announced.

Old master Huang leaped up to get to it first before others could. He had mentioned it first after all. He was in competition with old master Tao to get to the fried milk first.

"Tsk, tsk, look at them, one would think they have not had fried milk before." The emperor said.

"You have tasted the milk from those cows, I am also curious about the taste of that fried milk." Minister Su replied.

"What are you waiting for, go and bring me some." The emperor commanded. "Better yet, I have been here long enough; it’s about time for us to go. I would hate to leave empty handed, tell Miss Chi to extend her generosity."

Minister Su carefully escorted the emperor out of the house and made sure that he was tucked away safely in the car before returning to the house and pulling Chi Lian aside.

"What is it, do you need a favor?" She asked him.

"I will be straight with you, the emperor has enjoyed your party, especially the food and he requests that you extend your generosity."

"Aah," she said with humor in her voice, "your friend that was keeping to himself all night." She said.

Minister Su appeared to be shocked at her words. Chi Lian looked at him smugly, did he really think that she did not know who he was. She was a woman with a system, T4 could recognize anyone as long as their pictures were somewhere on the internet and the emperor was definitely on the internet.

Not even his careful disguise could fool T4.

"I send supplies weekly." Chi Lian said.

"The yellow rice is new, and the soy beans. Some of these desserts will not hurt as well and the pears."

"He really treats my house like a supermarket. I am going to send the butler out with the supplies. However, I am going to need something approved by him. I want exclusive use of that lake in the courts, I won’t use it for free, I am willing to trade for this."

She handed Minister Su two vials of the low quality strength serum.

"What’s this?" he asked.

"Something new, but it’s a good thing. I am sure you will be knocking on my door within a week or two after you see the results. Give these to two of the emperor’s most trusted guards and observe them for a while.

Or if you trust me, take one yourself and see the results."

Chi Lian called the butler and some guards and sacks of rice, pears, soy beans, apples and other things were carried out.

All this had been observed by the guests in the house and most of them assumed minister Su was taking the food stuffs for himself. Some of them made up their minds to request for something small before they left.

"Do they think my daughter’s house is a supermarket?" old master Wang mumbled.

Chi Lian went back to the party, she joined the younger crowd in the living room where Chi Wei and Jian Yu were torturing everyone’s ears while butchering a love ballad.

She joined Muyang on the couch by the window, sitting down with her head on his chest and his arm around her waist.

"Are they drunk?" she asked.

"Fifty-fifty." he answered.

"Is the emperor gone?" he asked.

"With half of my stock." she answered.

He laughed softly and kissed her head. "Merry Christmas." he said.

She smiled in return and patted his tummy with her hand. This right here was a happy moment. The love, laughter, joy and warmth was the reason she threw the party.

Everyone was so peaceful and the environment was loud but tranquil.

Even the dogs were dozing off in front of the fire place happily. Today had been a good day.
