For several days in a row, Xuanyuan Yu did not sleep at night and was not making pastries. Just make something good to eat. There was also a lot of work done. Like this, the ladies and ladies were done eating, and the maidservants also had something to eat. Thus, everyone liked Xuanyuan Yu a lot.

The one Cai Ruo Mu looked forward to the most every day was the morning because every day when she opened her eyes, she would see the delicious food that Xuanyuan Yu cooked. Even though he loved her a lot sometimes. Tell her not to work so hard. Xuanyuan Yu only shook her head.

She couldn't sleep at night now. She just had to lie down on the bed. When she heard the footsteps outside, as well as the torch, Xuanyuan Yu's heart would always drop. She would only be constantly busy, so she did not need to be so afraid.

By now, everyone in the mansion knew that although the new maidservant looked a little ugly, her cooking skills were very good. The most important thing was that she was willing to risk her life for Third Mother.

The few young misses would walk by thoughtfully, while Niu Mei remained indifferent, and Xuanyuan Yu didn't pay any attention to her. Although she didn't want to be too nosy, as long as they were safe and sound, she wouldn't be able to curry favor with others.

Time continued to pass. Seven or eight days had passed. Xuanyuan Yu was still listening to the footsteps outside and the footsteps were getting more hurried. Xuanyuan Yu knew that now that they were in a hurry, the entire outside of the city was not allowed in and out. In less than a month's time, they would have to open the city gates even if they didn't open them.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

Seeing the moonlight outside, Xuanyuan Yu got up from her bed and walked to the kitchen. Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from inside and Xuanyuan Yu was startled. He quickly lit the lamp. It turned out to be a Mavis. She had something wrapped around her hand.

Niu Mei avoided her eyes uncomfortably when she saw Xuanyuan Yu. He immediately ran out. However, the things that had just been wrapped up did not look good in front of Xuanyuan Yu, and they had scattered in the blink of an eye.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at the object that had fallen to the ground. He couldn't help but be taken aback.

Niu Mei was embarrassed. He ran out.

Xuanyuan Yu hurriedly shouted, "Niu Mei, wait a moment!"

Niu Mei stopped, but she did not turn around.

Xuanyuan Yu picked up the things on the ground and walked over. Walking up to her, he placed the food in front of her. "If you want to eat, then tell me. I'll make it for you!"

Niu Mei suddenly stretched out her hand to knock over the pastries. "You're done!"

Xuanyuan Yu sucked in a deep breath. To her, he coldly said, "That's enough. I have never been a kind person, and I also don't want to be enemies with you. You can see that I am trying to talk to you every day, but you always avoid me. I couldn't do anything about it. I really don't know how I offended you. If you think I've taken what you deserve, then I can tell you the truth. All I want now is to live, to be able to stay here, and I'll leave soon. "So you can rest assured, I'm not a threat to you." He walked away.

She didn't want to explain so much. These matters were nothing in Xuanyuan Yu's eyes. She knew that Niu Mei had repeatedly avoided her and rejected her just for the Miss's sake of putting her in her heart. She didn't care about the danger to her life. She was more worried about the pursuers outside. She didn't care about anything else. However, she was only going to explain it to her today because she did not want to stir up any more trouble, as long as she endured it for a little while longer. Only then would she be able to breathe a sigh of relief. The people outside intended to hack her into a thousand pieces at any time.

As Xuanyuan Yu was walking, she suddenly heard crying. He turned around. Holding the dessert in his hand, he walked over.

He looked at Niu Mei and said, "Let's talk!"

The two men sat down in the corridor. The weather was slightly cool. Xuanyuan Yu pulled her clothes up. The autumn season was always chilly, and she didn't want to be like that in the spring. It felt more mature. This made him more suitable for thinking. But what Xuanyuan Yu didn't want to think about the most right now was … He picked up a dead branch from the ground and dug at it.

Xuanyuan Yu slowly said, "Don't cry, I will leave soon."

Niu Mei gave her a look and thought these words were meant to comfort her. Her grandmother was dead and had finally entered the house. Madame, Miss, everyone in the house loved her. There was no reason for them to leave.

Xuanyuan Yu knew what she had said and did not have the strength to believe it. But he didn't want to explain. He said slowly, "If you want some pastries, I'll make you another one in the future."

"Actually, it's not me who wants to eat it, but my younger brother!" Niu Mei's tears fell uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Yu was astonished for a moment. She never thought that Niu Mei would have a younger brother, never having heard her mention him before.

Niu Mei continued, "No one in the manor knows about this, and I've never told anyone about this. In my house, my dad loves to gamble like a man with his life. My mother is a housewife and doesn't know anything, she's just making clothes for others and sewing for them. I have one who is seven years old today, he was originally very healthy, but when he was three years old, he suddenly fell ill, and my father had already gambled until there was nothing left. My mother was begging everywhere, but the relatives didn't want to mess with us. My brother was very ill. No money to see a doctor. Then came a kind of demented disease, which was slow to respond to anything, and when the disease left him, he would stay in bed for the rest of his life.

My father gambled every day and was always at home to vent his anger on the three of us. Every now and then, he would scold my little brother and hit my mother. When I was twelve years old, my father said that the family was too poor to support so many people, so he wanted me to share some of the burden. My mother didn't want to, so he beat her up again. I really don't want to be in a house like that. Then, my father sold me to the mansion as a servant girl.

He stayed here for five years at a time. I have served the Eldest Miss for many years. The maidservants have changed one after the other, but I have not been replaced. And since you are so diligent, not only the Eldest Miss, everyone in the house likes you, I must stay. My brother likes osmanthus cake. "I secretly took a few. I want to bring them home for her to eat tomorrow."

Xuanyuan Yu looked at Niu Mei's beautiful appearance and couldn't help but feel touched. And then he said to her, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Niu Mei said incredulously, "Really?"

Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head, "Wait, we'll go do it. You can take it home tomorrow. It's too late today, and outside — it's not safe. "

Niu Mei hugged her immediately. "Thank you, thank you, I've wronged you."

Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled. He didn't take it to heart.

"Let's do it!"

The two of them stood up in the corridor and Xuanyuan Yu walked over.

Niu Mei looked at the ground casually. Endure. His heart was slightly moved, then he followed her.

He only realized how complicated the process was after he finished the plum blossom. Niu Mei wiped the sweat off her forehead. "This is too hard to do."

This was something that only the imperial concubines and emperors of the palace could eat in the past. Naturally, it was not something that could be compared to the average person, and if she wasn't the granddaughter of the Prime Minister, she wouldn't have been able to eat it either.

The two of them steamed a few cages.

It wasn't until the sun was about to rise that the two of them were able to get it done.

Niu Mei was already lying there resting from exhaustion.

Xuanyuan Yu gazed at her sleeping appearance and couldn't help but be lost in thought. There was another reason why she was actually so accommodating towards Ox-Plum. Thinking about how that girl had blocked that sword for him, even his heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Liu Mei.

"It smells so good!"

Xuanyuan Yu raised her head. It was the kitchen woman.

"I'm here every day now to smell the fragrance. "I knew it was a girl making pastries here!"

Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled, not caring.

The woman picked up a piece of pastry and sniffed it. "I just don't know, how could a lady's hand coincidentally produce such a pastry? I've never even seen such a pastry before!"

Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled and used her plate to pick up a few pieces, giving them to the woman.

The woman smiled brightly and said, "How can I be embarrassed like this? Eat the girl's pastries every day!

Xuanyuan Yu gave it to her with a smile. These people, they were all like that. He clearly wanted to eat it, yet he said something that was not true. If he really didn't give it to them, how would he be able to scold them?

In a moment, everyone in the kitchen had arrived. They all went to snatch the pastries from the old woman's hands.

"Don't, don't steal it." The old woman stuffed the plate into her mouth and held it up high, not allowing anyone to touch it.

Niu Mei woke up as soon as she found them. She glared at them unhappily. And then it disappeared without a trace.

Xuanyuan Yu laughed again. "Everyone, don't fight over this. We've done too much today. You can all eat a little more. " Just as he finished speaking, a group of people surrounded a plate and came over again: "Lady's hands, what a coincidence, it's really delicious, it's the most delicious thing I've ever eaten." They all started talking at once.

Xuanyuan Yu took a few more out. In a short moment, the fight was over.

Niu Mei was slightly displeased.

Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled, knowing what she was thinking.

Looking at the empty plate, Xuanyuan Yu said again, "This steamer will still be used for a while longer. When the sun rises, I'll send it over to Miss!"

"It's fine, it's fine. You can use as long as you want."

Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled and said nothing. She only meant that she needed to be polite when she didn't have a good mouth.

After a while, the sun appeared. Xuanyuan Yu picked up the box and placed a plate and a plate inside. Every plate of color, pattern, and taste was different. The old servant looked at Xuanyuan Yu's pastries and drooled.

Until it was full. Then he left with Niu Mei.

As soon as they left, a group of people squeezed past them again to see if there were any more inside. Usually, there would still be some leftovers. As he ate the instant pastry in his mouth, he felt that his entire being was floating in the air. He had never expected that the pastry would be so delicious.

"It's really delicious!"

"Smart hands. "It means that the microchick looks like —"
