Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, if Brother An reached out his hand to pick up Ma Yun, then Ma Yun would pretend to be dizzy. After all, he was still young, but Ma Yun was already 15 years old and had developed quite well. He was just like a fresh peach, afraid that this would cause endless trouble for the future. However, Ma Yun had fallen down the ladder. As a young general and the master of the mansion, it was impossible for Brother An to just stand by and watch as Ma Yun fell to the ground. If Brother An didn't accept, then if something were to happen to Ma Yun and spread it around, it would be inappropriate to say that the general of the General's Estate had a dark heart and didn't care about the girl's life or death. It didn't matter whether he accepted it or not. It was difficult.

No matter what, he couldn't let Brother An reach out to pick up Ma Yun. He Yuan's heart raced as he pretended to be afraid. He reached out his hand to pull Jiang Hua An away from him. With a flick of his feet, he lifted up the two prayer mats in front of him, and they flew up with the wind, landing on Ma Yun's waist. Just as Ma Yun was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Hua An threw his hands behind his back and grabbed He Yuan's waist. With a twist, he kicked up the prayer mats at Jiang Hua Kuan's and Chen Zhu's feet, stepping onto the spot where he had placed the prayer mats. With a "pa" sound, Ma Yun landed on a few prayer mats.

"Young General, good skill!"

"The young general is brave!"

"What a mighty general!"

Before they could react to Ma Yun's sudden fall, they saw Jiang Huashan use a praying mat to cut into Ma Yun's body. They all applauded and said, "This praying mat was made by the madame earlier this year. It's big and thick, so if we can cut it in half, it won't be bad." As he said this, two of his wives went to help Ma Yun up. They saw that she was unharmed, but her hair was tied up in a crooked bun. Her newly made skirt was dirty, making her look extremely miserable.

Ma Yun knew that if he were to fall, he would definitely land in Jiang Hua An's strong arm. He didn't want to fall head first onto a pile of praying mats. Not only was he disgraced, he wasn't even able to reap any benefits. At this moment, he stole a glance at Jiang Hua An and saw that he was comforting He Yuan, "Sister Yuan, you're not scared, are you? The next time someone falls from a high place, you have to step back before you get hurt. There was a rider in the market the year before yesterday, and suddenly the horse went mad and threw its owner to the ground. "One of the hawkers was unable to dodge in time and was hit in the face. He immediately fractured on the spot, but it was all for naught."

When Ma Yun saw that he had fallen, he didn't care. All he cared was that he was scared of He Yuan. He gritted his teeth, feeling angry and resentful. His eyes reddened, but he started to sob uncontrollably.

"Help Sister Yun in, then send someone to invite a doctor to take a look. Although she isn't knocked down, I'm afraid she's scared." When He Yuan saw that Ma Yun's clothes were all messed up, he covered his face and swallowed. His body slightly trembled and he had a pitiful appearance. If he were a man, he would probably be pitied and could only order his two wives to carry her back. As he pondered, he wondered if the other girls in the house were in the mood to talk, but Ma Yun's intentions were very clear. If he were to keep her in the house, it would be impossible to guard against. Even if Jiang Hua An had been careless, he was afraid that he would fall for the trap if he didn't investigate it. At that point, things would be difficult to deal with. When the madame and the madame came back, they had to think of a reasonable way to deal with Ma Yun as soon as possible.

As Ma Yun fell off the ladder, a few of the wives thought it was bad luck. They came over to He Yuan and said, "Young madam, Ma Yun fell off the ladder when he was still well. I'm afraid he has to give his silent blessing to the Heavenly Lord if he is not sincere enough." A woman then mumbled, "The madame and the madame have just left the house, and Mama Shang and Fuxiang already had stomachs. Last night, Mother Gu and the monk's mother made another ruckus, almost killing them. This time, Ma Yun fell down again. One after another, they all … " When the other woman heard these words, she secretly poked the old woman who was speaking. Only after seeing that she had stopped talking did she withdraw her hand.

When He Yuan heard this, he knew that this was his mother's wife's confidante. Because he was his housekeeper, they couldn't accept it, but he hadn't made any mistakes. It just so happened that Ma Yun's candle had fallen, making it an excuse for him to be disloyal to the emperor. Before she could say anything, a clear and melodious voice came from behind. "You guys are clearly unconvinced with the young madam's intentions. You intentionally provoked her into making things difficult for her, then came to speak with sincerity again. In the name of the Heavens, who is sincere, who is not, of course, clear. Mama Shang and Mother Gu didn't say they would help the young madam manage the family matters, but they started fighting on their own. The young madam was comforting them and asking them to be a doctor. Was that not enough? [Would you dare to make such sarcastic remarks if Madam were home?]

Seeing that it was Chen Zhu who had intervened, He Yuan knew that she had always been straightforward with her words. He didn't want her to offend these wives for him, so he stopped her with a smile, "Alright, since these moms think that you're not sincere, then pay their respects for a while more." As he spoke, he caused everyone to take the prayer mats and kneel down first. When everyone saw this, they could only kneel down and kowtow once before standing up again.

When they returned to their room, Chen Zhu said angrily, "They clearly bullied you because you were young, and now they are criticizing you with their faces. If this month went well, if anything else went wrong, they would say it was your disrespect to the Lord. That year, when my grandmother was ill, my aunt spread the news that my mother had been dishonest when she first paid her respects to the heavenly lord. This was because the heavenly lord had punished Yun Yun, so my mother had no choice but to go to the temple and ask for the peace amulet for my grandmother, and after a month's rest, my grandmother slowly recovered and only then did she rest. Then I overheard the servant say that his aunt had disapproved of my mother's housekeeper and had found some reason to spout nonsense. "

"That old woman is Mother Gu's trusted aide. She ignored everyone around her and said those words. Apart from being unconvinced by my butler, this is also a way to defend Mother Gu! " He Yuan patted Chen Zhu's hand and said, "Mother Gu pushed Mama Shang into the water, nearly causing her to lose her life. When the madame and the madame return, they will definitely be punished. The reason this woman said this was because she wanted to tell others that Mama Shang and Sui Xiang had a bad stomach and Ma Yun had fallen down. There was a reason for all of this. There was also a reason why Mother Gu had pushed Mama Shang into the water. The cause of all this is my disrespect to the Father, who punishes me a little. If Madam had listened to these words, she would naturally not have severely punished Mother Gu. "

"But, the matter of Mother Gu pushing mother to go into the water is all because of last night. 'Worship of the heavenly lord, this is morning … ' Chen Zhu could not understand, tilting her head and asking, "Could it be that you already have a disrespect in your heart even before you began worshiping the heavenly lord?"

"Although it is morning when I pay my respects to the Lord, it is yesterday morning when I paid my respects to the Lord." He Yuan laughed bitterly and said, "This is my first time doing this after all, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I just saw the fruits I bought after the worship today, so some of them were too familiar and fell off the branches." He had heard earlier that these fruits needed to be strung together to worship the Lord of the Heavens. If some of the fruits fell from the branches, someone in the house would definitely fall into the water or fall down. Although it was a coincidence this time, he still agreed to this sentence. Those sharp eyed women must have seen it before me. They intentionally did not mention it, and only used it to justify Mother Gu when Madam returned! "

"This is just a matter of a few days, how annoying!" Seeing that the almonds had been served tea, Chen Zhu took a sip and then said, "You're still young, and this housekeeper's work is too taxing. When Madam comes back, he'll quickly dismiss this matter. He'll be so happy!"

"Young mistress, should this month's money be given out later or at night?" As they were talking, Almond interrupted, "I heard a few mothers in the kitchen mumbling that the Madam is not in the mansion anymore and isn't allowed to pay monthly fees."

"I haven't gone over today, and I'm just sitting down. Why is it that there's no time limit?" When He Yuan heard this, he was truly angry. He snorted and said, "These few moms are helping Aunt Li manage the kitchen, but they usually flatter Mommy. Only they have no master in their eyes, yet they still dare to scheme against me like this. "Later on, we won't give them their monthly allowance and will only send it to other people. I want to see what they dare to do."

The almonds followed He Yuan and suffered from his mother's leisure these few days. Hearing this, they naturally agreed.

When the monthly payment came out, the women who had been muttering about He Yuan's inaccurate monthly payment did not receive the monthly payment. They were depressed for a while. Just as he was about to get someone to go and plead with He Yuan, a girl came in and said, "There's a guest at the front. The young general is staying for dinner, and he's preparing a table of delicate noodles for Aunt Li to eat!

"Yo, my stomach suddenly hurts!" A woman who had not received a month's money was not satisfied. She then signaled the two women in front of her with her eyes as she rubbed her belly and said, "You were too greedy last night. I'm afraid you've caught a cold. I'll take a leave of absence!"

He Yuan was in his room looking at his accounts, the little girl anxiously said, "Young Mistress, all the mothers in the kitchen have reported a fake, saying it's a stomachache. The young general in front of me is staying in the kitchen for dinner, and there's nobody in the kitchen. "

He Yuan was stunned and asked. Hearing that those few wives were the ones who had not received their monthly salary yet, he nodded and said, "We have only delayed our wages for half a day and we are already on strike?" While talking, seeing that the little girl didn't understand, he asked again, "Where's Aunt Li? Wasn't she in charge of the kitchen? Could it be that she doesn't know how to handle things as well? "

"Young Mistress, Aunt Li only knows how to make pastries. Back then, it was the madame who enjoyed eating the little cloud cake that she made, which was why she was in charge. " The little girl whispered, "Aunt Li is having a headache right now!"

"This bunch of people are truly heaven's will!" Chen Zhu stomped his feet in anger, "They only know how to bully the young mistress. When the old mistress and the young mistress return, can't you take care of them? If they didn't, could it be that they were afraid of them? Wouldn't it be fine if he just went to the restaurant and bought a few dishes? "

"There are guests at the front, but we, the magnificent military mansion, still haven't cooked a single dish yet. However, we came to the restaurant to buy the ready-made dishes, so it might not be good if our customers know about it." Furthermore, people will definitely say that I'm in charge of the house, that I can't even control a few of the mothers in the kitchen, and that Brother An's face isn't good either. "

"So what if it isn't pretty? You and I don't know how to cook? If they can cook, they can do it on their own. Why would I be afraid of them? "

Although he wanted to learn the art of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, it was not too urgent for the ladies of every manor. On the other hand, even needlework ladies had to learn carefully. Even though it was not very common for a chef to cook inferior dishes, it was necessary to learn how to cook superior dishes before marriage. Due to the urgent matter of He Yuan and Chen Zhu's marriage, he had yet to learn about the matter under the kitchen.

"Who said I don't know how to control things? I've never eaten pork before, and I've even seen a pig run! " Under Chen Zhu's skeptical gaze, He Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go, we're going to cook in the kitchen!"
