Seeing Lu Jinfeng not saying anything for a long time, Chen Mu felt that he had frightened a little child. Smiling slightly, he comforted, "Don't worry, I'm not talking about you."
But if he were to marry her, wouldn't he be the one to end his bloodline?
However … Her request wasn't too excessive either.
The two of them loved each other and shared the same thoughts. There was no reason for a woman to protect the man's body like jade, while a man could see the new and hate the old.
If his wife wasn't clear with other men, he would be tempted to tear her into pieces.
After thinking about it, Lu Jinfeng's heart started to feel better. After pondering for a while, he thought of Qin Tianshui and asked: "Chen Mu Mu, when do you plan on chasing that Qin warrior away?"
"We can't chase them away." Chen Mu Mu Mu also felt a little helpless, "He can stay however long he wants."
Qin Tianshui's influence was there, could she really use a broom to kick a prince out? Furthermore, Qin Tiansei's bodyguards were no pushovers. If she had the guts to attack them, she might have already been thrown out before she could even raise her fingers.
Most importantly, "He is our benefactor."
Putting aside her status as a prince, Qin Tiansei had indeed helped her quite a bit. As a friend, she agreed to cook for him and reward him, so she could not go back on her word.
"But his actions …" Lu Jinfeng felt his heart tighten when he thought about it, "Sooner or later, this will bring about disaster to us."
His mouth could not help but spread the news everywhere, enraging Madam Li to the point where his condition worsened.
"Not necessarily." Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't agree with him, "Qin Tianshui always has a sense of propriety when it comes to doing things. Although he's always sloppy and careless, he has a certain level of confidence when it comes to doing and not touching things."
Lu Jinfeng frowned: "He had even said a few things to Mother that he shouldn't have said. I see that you are also angry."
"I am indeed angry, but it is still too late." Chen Mu Mu said, "Anyway, we are going to the capital, so Mother will find out sooner or later. Rather than hiding in the dark, I might as well plan ahead and enjoy a few more days of warmth."
"You speak for him." Lu Jinfeng was gloomy, "Could it be that you like him?"
"Naturally, I became friends because I liked her." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't mind Lu Jinfeng's words at all, "I treat him as a friend, so I should believe in his actions."
"Aren't you afraid that he will harm us?" Lu Jinfeng saw that her tone was firm, and felt even more stifled.
"He won't." Chen Mu gazed at the rooftop, where some dust had settled. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he smiled, "I trust him, just like how he trusts me."
Lu Jinfeng was confused: "When did you two get so close to each other?"
It was actually to the point of trusting the Seamless.
"It has nothing to do with intimacy. It's just my intuition. Qin Tianshui won't harm us." The smile on Chen Mu's face deepened. "It's even more beneficial to us if he stays here."
"Oh?" Lu Jinfeng's mind moved, "You're talking about …."
The mysterious person who had been looking for trouble with them recently, as well as the North King Palace who had never fought face to face with them before?
No matter what, his status was still there. The people of North King did not dare to lay their hands on him, even if they avoided Qin Tiansei's attacks on his family. Since Qin Tianli lived here, how could his subordinates be weak?
Chen Mu Mu exchanged a glance with the other party, and understanding his thoughts, he nodded his head.
There were some things that she did not say that Lu Jinfeng might not be able to guess. If Qin Tiansei knew that Lu Jinfeng was the son of the North King and still stayed in Xingyu Village, he would definitely have some plans. Currently, Qin Tiansei had not displayed any malicious intentions towards them. That must have been for the sake of profit.
If there were benefits, then there was the possibility of them being friends. For the sake of those so-called benefits, Qin Tiansei would definitely protect the safety of his family.
"The dishes are ready. I'll go wash the vegetables and you can start the fire." In the many busy days outside, I haven't had a good meal, so I'm hungry right now. " Hearing the sound of people stomping on tiles as they left the rooftop, Chen Mu stood up while carrying a vegetable basket and said with a smile.
Qin Tianshui already knew their attitudes. He should know what to do in the time they spent together.
Dinner was ready, and there weren't many ingredients in the house. With two or three simple dishes, they began to eat.
After the table was served, Qin Tiansei looked at the meat, vegetables and soup on the table. The corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "You guys are too …"
Got it.
"It's a country bumpkin's house. The conditions are bad, and we don't have any ingredients, so let's just eat." Chen Mu Mu Mu knew that this arrogant young master didn't mind and said, "If you find the food too little, go buy some ingredients from the town tomorrow."
As usual, it was good enough to have something to eat. She was a country girl, it was not like he didn't think about her being poor.
"I don't mind. I just feel that this is my first time visiting the Village of Xing Yu. You guys are too friendly, I'm just a little flattered." Hearing Chen Mu Mu's words, Aunt Wang had already raised his head and suspiciously looked at Qin Tiansei. Being stared by his elders, even if Qin Tianshui was thick-skinned, he still didn't dare to admit it.
Moreover, in the countryside, four dishes and a soup were already very sumptuous.
However, compared to Chen Mu Mu's promise to be delicious, the difference in taste and taste was just too great. This was why he was somewhat unable to endure it.
"That's good, that's good." Aunt Wang was pleased, "We villagers treat our guests warmly. If it wasn't for the fact that we don't have any more ingredients, we would not only cook these dishes, you can eat as much as you want, and don't have any burdens in your heart."
Aunt Wang's train of thought was very simple, because in Xingyu Village, two meat, two vegetables, and a soup were already very sumptuous. She did not expect that Qin Tianshui would say such words because he despised the dishes.
However, there were some words that Lu Jinfeng and Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't say. The Aunt Wang seemed to be an outsider's ignorant words, but they had no choice but to accept it.
Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng looked at each other and laughed, but did not say anything.
Qin Tiansei did not expect Aunt Wang to really think he was being modest. After being mute for two seconds, he could only brace himself and continue praising.
Praise was something he had to bite off more than he could chew, but there were only a few dishes on the table. If he didn't eat them, he would starve.
Qin Tiansei had no choice but to slowly move his chopsticks, slowly reaching into the dish and picking up a piece of fish.
"Eh?" When the fish entered his mouth, Qin Tianshui's eyes immediately lit up. The meat was very smooth and delicious, and the taste of the meat was extremely fresh and tender. It was completely different from what he had eaten before.
"What kind of fish is this? Why is it so delicious?"
"Fresh river fishes from the village's river, so the smell is relatively fresh." If the food workshop continued to operate, there would only be a few fish left for her to cook dinner. However, what happened to the food workshop two days ago was sealed off by the government and it had yet to reopen. As a result, he had not used up the fish he fished out that day. He was still keeping them in the tank and could eat them at any time.
Of course, she definitely wouldn't tell Qin Tiansei that this fish had already been raised at home for several days.
For princes like him who lived a luxurious life, the ingredients needed to be the most fresh. If she were to reveal the truth, Qin Tiansei would definitely feel that the taste had changed.
"Then what is this dish called? Ben, I don't think I've ever tasted it before." After eating the first mouthful of delicious food, Qin Tianshui could no longer stop. His mouth was full as he asked.
"Clear water tofu fish." Seeing his interest, Chen Mu Mu introduced, "This tofu is new. Don't think that the fish is delicious. Actually, the tofu and the fresh fish are cooked together. Most of the fish's fragrance has entered the tofu. Have you tried a piece of tofu? Do you think it's different from ordinary tofu, especially fragrant and tender, and especially soft and smooth? "
Qin Tiansei was skeptical. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the tofu, but who would have thought that the tofu was so soft? Before he could pick it up, it split into two and fell back into the plate.
Qin Tiansei's face was filled with black lines: "It doesn't seem to like me much."
"But isn't there a sense of accomplishment in chasing it?" Chen Mu Mu continued to encourage him.
When Qin Tiansei failed to pick up a piece of tofu after seven or eight attempts, he was overjoyed and handed him a spoon.
"Thank you very much." Qin Tiansei had been unable to get his tofu when he saw that spoon in his hand. He was just about to let out his bellyful of anger when he saw the spoon in his hand and took it without a trace of politeness.
This time, he managed to scoop the tofu into his mouth. He nibbled on it and sighed in satisfaction, "The tofu is very cunning, but it tastes really good. Even though it's been tormenting me a few times, I feel really good about it."
"Of course. It takes a lot of effort to get something good to eat." Chen Mu Mu smiled as he pointed to the other dishes on the table, "Don't be so busy eating fish, tofu and fried vegetables. This dish is called Oil Dew Vegetable Heart, this dish is called Mushroom Grilled Eggplant, this is Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, a bamboo tube frog. "
"The names of the dishes are so vulgar." Qin Tianli ridiculed, "Even if the taste isn't bad, if you take the dishes out to the restaurant, they won't be served."
"I think so too." Chen Mu Mu nodded. "Then why don't you give them separate names?"
"Sure." Qin Tianshui ate happily, and was in a good mood, "But first, you have to tell me how these dishes are made."
Qin Tianshui shook his head, a look of regret on his face. "Same ingredients. My chef has also cooked these dishes many times. However, the taste is vastly different."
"It's easy. If you want to learn, I can teach you. "First, let the ribs bleed in hot water, then..." As he was speaking, a smell suddenly came from his nose. Chen Mu Mu sniffled as he asked the three of them in confusion, "Are you guys cooking something?"
Lu Jinfeng shook his head: "No, I have already cooked. The fire was extinguished too, how could I be cooking?"
He rubbed his nose and frowned. "What a smell."
"Something's burning up." Qin Tianshui also smelled it.
"The smell of paper money." Aunt Wang's face immediately darkened as he stood up, "Which heartless person burned paper money at dinner!"
Aunt Wang's anger was not without reason, because the Liu Family's courtyard was quite a distance away from the other family's house. If someone else was burning paper money in front of their house, the smell would not be so strong, but the smell they smelled right now was so strong, it was definitely burning paper not far from their house. At their doorstep.
Thinking up to here, Chen Mu Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng Qin Tianshui's faces turned black.
This was no longer a matter of spoiling the mood. It was a curse. It was an extremely unlucky thing!
"I'll go take a look." Lu Jinfeng suddenly stood up, and started walking towards the exit of the hall aggressively.
"I'll go too." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu hurriedly followed behind him.
This was the house she bought, her home. Who would dare burn paper money outside her house?
Qin Tianshui was someone who liked to watch the show, so when he saw something interesting, his face revealed a few traces of interest. He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and followed her out.
The four of them walked out of the lobby and arrived at the main entrance. Sure enough, they saw a gust of black smoke coming in through the crack in the door. They opened the door and saw the woman who was burning money.
Madam Niu.
Chen Mu Mu rubbed her temples as the horses galloped in her heart, causing her to be unable to suppress her emotions.
Lu Jinfeng did not even try to suppress her, he just stared at the Madam Niu angrily and asked coldly: "Old lady, what are you doing now?!"
When Madam Niu heard this, his originally nonchalant attitude instantly lit ablaze like paper. He suddenly stood up: "Little bastard, who do you call an old woman?
When a woman gets old, she would have always minded others calling her old. Yet, this fellow, just by saying a few words, was able to poke her in her weak spot!
"Not for a long time." Lu Jinfeng snorted, "Back then you chased us out of the Lu family, but we still have that piece of paper with the severed relationship on it.
He paused, with a cold expression, he faintly heard the sound of grinding teeth, "Therefore, you had better give me a reason to do so today, or else I will not guarantee that you will be safe and sound after leaving this place!"
