Lu Yuhong said, “Every dish here exceeds my expectations. Lord Wei, I really envy you!”

Chu Lan also said, “It is indeed very good.”

Wei Mingting, who was praised, didn’t know how to respond. He actually only found out today that there is a maid in his mansion with such excellent skills.

Four people, four cold dishes and twelve hot dishes, each dish amazed three guests.

By the time the sixteen dishes were served, several people had already eaten their fill.

At this time, the maid who served the dishes brought two plates of snacks – osmanthus flower cake and almond cake.

-osmanthus cake

-almond cake

Lu Yuhong couldn’t eat anymore, but thinking that it was made by Wei Ruo and Xiumei, he took a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.

After taking a bite, he put it down and sighed, “This girl’s skill in making cakes is not as good as her cooking skills. She can improve it.”

After Lu Yuhong said so, Chu Lan and County Head Magistrate Qian, who were already full, had no interest in touching it.

Wei Mingting looked at the two plates of pastries with some surprise. First, Wei Ruo had informed him of the menu in advance and asked him what he thought, and there were no pastries on the menu; second, these two pastries looked familiar, they were exactly the pastries that Wei Qingwan often makes and excels in.

In front of the guests, Wei Mingting didn’t say much.

After dinner, Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong left the Wei mansion first.

County Head Magistrate Qian took Wei Mingting by the hand and said teasingly, “Lord Wei, I really envy you for raising a good daughter! Look, the south part of the city has been appreciated by the nobleman, and today he came to your house as a guest. Look at how long this young master of Chu has been in Taizhou Prefecture. Whose house has he eaten at? Not to mention Xingshan County, even the dignitaries in the prefecture city don’t have the courage to do something like that!”

“It’s not much of a thing, it’s just a meal. And maybe it wasn’t Young Master Chu’s intention, it’s probably Young Master Lu’s craving.” Wei Mingting’s face did not show much joy.

He had no intention of clinging to a powerful figure, especially the prince.

Now that the position of the crown prince was undecided, it was not a good thing to get too close to the prince who had hopes of competing for the position of the crown prince.

“Lord Wei, don’t be modest, the good days of your Wei family are ahead!”

County Head Magistrate Qian smiled meaningfully.

Wei Mingting didn’t say anything. He didn’t agree with or expect such a thing, but it was hard to refute County Head Magistrate Qian in person.

After sending County Head Magistrate Qian away, Wei Mingting asked someone to call the maid who had just served the dishes.

Then pointing to the almost untouched osmanthus cake and almond pastry on the table, he asked, “Are these two pastries also made by the eldest young lady and her maid?”

Wei Mingting remained calm and intimidating, causing the maid to quickly say, “I don’t know. This was given to me by Chef Yu, and I don’t know who made it!”

Wei Mingting’s expression was stern: “The dishes were not served from the big kitchen?”

The maid’s voice trembled with fear: “No… it wasn’t brought from the big kitchen…”

After receiving the answer, Wei Mingting got up and returned to Cangyun Garden.

Seeing that Wei Mingting’s face was not good, Yun Shi thought there was a problem with the lunch and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the food? Did it make the Seventh Prince unhappy?”

Then she said angrily: “I should have let the cook cook this meal.”

Wei Mingting shook his head, “There is no problem with the food, the Seventh Prince and Young Master Lu are very satisfied.”

“Really?” Yun Shi’s heart was relieved when she heard it.

Before her husband came back, she had been uneasy, very worried that something unexpected would happen and make the Seventh Prince unhappy.
