Tang Yue roughly noted down the roads in the manor, so it shouldn't happen if he got lost in his own home.

Lunch was also eaten in his own room. When he asked, he found out that only dinner was used in Marquis's Mansion for families to gather together. Breakfast and lunch were both eaten in their own rooms, and the maid would punctually go to the large kitchen to receive the meal.

Tang Yue did not hold much hope for food anymore. After eating the whole meal, he decided to ask if it was possible to set up a small kitchen in his own courtyard.

When the butler from Marquis's Mansion heard his request, he asked carefully, "Does my husband feel that the food in the big kitchen is unappetizing?"

Of course, Tang Yue could not say yes, "No, it's just that I was thinking about how far my courtyard is from the big kitchen, how wind and rain would have to travel to the big kitchen to bring food, and how by the time we arrive, the food would already be cold."

The butler secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "It's my fault for not taking this into account. This matter belongs to Madam. I'll help you ask her about it."

"That's troublesome."

Tang Yue was curious about his own subordinate, he thought that the butler was also a servant. After asking about the mountain, he found out that the butler was once the personal guard of the Yueyang Marquis.

Hearing the butler's report, Marquis's Wife was so angry that her teeth itched. This brat wanted to use the kitchen as soon as he entered, but when she was pregnant, he had treated her like this.

After dinner that night, she casually asked, "Master Hou, Yue'er said that he wanted to set up a small kitchen in his courtyard. I think this is good as well, what do you think the little kitchen could do with what he wants to eat?"

Of course the Yueyang Marquis didn't feel good, in this house there wasn't even a kitchen in the old lady's courtyard, what right did he have to make a kitchen for his son?

However, his son had just entered the house, and he was feeling extremely guilty. He wanted to make up for it, so he didn't reject it.

When Tang Yue heard Marquis's Wife's words, he immediately knew there was a trap. He quickly stood up and repeated the reason again, the important point was that it wasn't that the food in the kitchen wasn't tasty, and it wasn't that he wanted to open a small stove, but that it was too troublesome.

"If it's too much trouble, then forget it. I was thinking if there's a small kitchen in the yard, I could eat as much as I wanted without wasting any food. The food in the big kitchen is way too sumptuous."

Marquis's Wife covered his mouth and laughed, "Child, the food in our noble home in Marquis's Mansion cannot be too shabby. If you tell others, people will think that I, your mother, have treated you unfairly."

Tang Yue thought: This woman is really good at speaking, no wonder she was able to gain such a virtuous reputation without giving birth to a son.

But who didn't know how to act like a white lotus?

Tang Yue lowered his head, the corners of his eyes drooping down 45 degrees, "You're right, I still want to make some good food for my family when I have the time, so that everyone can have a taste of my hometown's unique flavor. It's not in vain for everyone to treat me like this."

The Old Mistress and the Yueyang Marquis were moved, they felt that this was a good child with filial piety. As for the food that Tang Yue was talking about, they did not hold any hope.

The Marquis's Wife frowned and disagreed, "Yue'er, your filial piety is commendable, but you are a man after all. This gentleman is far from the kitchen. Don't mention it anymore."

"Ever since my birth mother died, I've made my own food." At that time, he didn't have the qualifications to be a gentleman.

Tang Yue explained all the grievances of the original owner with one sentence.

Yueyang Marquis waved his hands and made a decision, "The small kitchen is still set up. You don't need to cook anything yourself, just let the maids bring the food back and heat it up to avoid eating a cold meal."

Marquis's Wife still wanted to speak, so he was preempted by Yueyang Marquis: "The other courtyards are the same, the children are all growing up, it would be more convenient to eat hot food at night."

Tang Yue had achieved his goal so he naturally did not mind the Yueyang Marquis treating him equally. Furthermore, he discovered that everyone was happy, so it seemed like he was not the only one who had objections towards the big kitchen.

To be honest, this coarse old man had quite a fatherly love for his children.
