Compared to the lanterns and decorations in the front yard, the back yard was much quieter due to the noise made by the guests.

Red ribbons of joy hung from the beams of the wall, fluttering in the breeze. Peach blossoms bloomed in all directions to please her. The willow trees Yi Yi Yi also seemed to add color to this big day of celebration.

Su He, who usually did not like the expression on his face, became gentle. He was happy for his master.

Thinking that he was going to feed his mistress on the orders of his master, he didn't dare delay any further and headed back to the kitchen.

Smoke swirled around the kitchen as the hot air drifted upwards, reflecting the sunlight coming in through the window in colors.

All the chefs in the house were running about the kitchen, looking for ingredients, and their movements were especially adept at adding oil and food. Although it was noisy like the front yard, and they were extremely busy for the feast, it was still very orderly.

Because Wei Yi had instructed him to prepare the pastries in advance, although Su He wasn't able to find the chef in charge of the pastries, he was able to see a few pastries that were specially placed on an empty table by the side with a single glance.

When Su He found the several pastries his master had given him, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped at the entrance of the kitchen, turned around and stood in front of the peach cake.

From time to time, the fragrance of peach blossoms would waft over. In order to look good, not only were the pastries floral, but there were even some small white things decorated on them. Su He did not know what those things were, but he felt that if they were beautiful, they would definitely suit their appearance.

Su He remembered that the last time he heard his wife mention it in her courtyard, Mo Yun really loved Peach Blossom Cake.

Since his wife hadn't eaten anything, she would definitely be hungry. Mo Yun, who had accompanied her for such a long time, probably wouldn't feel any better either.

Thinking about that, Su He found some papers from the side and carefully wrapped them with paper without any expression.

Wei Yi was in the front courtyard. His bright red wedding robe accentuated his handsomeness, and when he thought of the similarly dressed women in the backyard, his brows unconsciously softened as he spoke. Even the corners of his mouth quirked into a smile.

Wei Yi openly accepted the congratulations of the person opposite him and downed the cup of wine in one gulp. The wine slid down his throat and into his chest as the Adam's apple on his delicate neck moved.

On the cobblestone path, the chef could see from afar that Su He, who was carrying a plate of pastries, was quickly walking over. In an instant, his footsteps had become disorderly.

Su He's many years of training and experiences had resulted in him being extremely alert, especially when the other party was carrying a person. After seeing him and wanting to detour, he could not help but furrow his brows and sink his face.

"Halt." His voice was without anger.

The brawny man was already scared to begin with. When he heard Su He's shout, his heart skipped a beat. Even his body couldn't help but shiver.

After all, this was his first time doing such a thing and he had been caught red-handed. Coincidentally, the one who was run into was Su He!

The brawny man had his head bowed, his body bent, his face buried in the ground, his expression hidden.

Su He walked up and saw that it was the pastry chef. Because he had seen him before, he slightly loosened his guard, but his brows were still furrowed.

"You're not in the kitchen today, why are you running here? Besides, you can enter the backyard? After being in the Palace for so long, you don't even know the rules? "

Su He originally had an aura that caused fear in others. With such a harsh question, the chef's legs went limp.

What kind of luck was this!?

If he were to find out about the matter of suing Wei Yi, not only would he lose his life, he might even take the life of his entire family.

If he really got caught, would he be able to survive after revealing who was the mastermind?

The chef lowered his head, his eyes rolling around in his eye sockets as he spoke the words he had prepared beforehand.

Even if he were to stretch his head forward, it would still be a blade if he were to shrink back!

"This servant was originally disrespectful, but I saw this servant drink too much on the way back. This is not because the front yard is too eye-catching, it would damage the mansion's elegance, and he might get beaten up. Since there are fewer people in the back yard, I brought him back here. I did not expect to meet you, my lord. Please spare my life, milord. " As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. However, the person on his shoulder nearly slipped when he moved.

The cook looked at him with a troubled expression.

Why is life so difficult! The cook was on the verge of tears. Was it easy to earn some money?

Only then did Su He notice the person on his back. The simple and unadorned servant's clothes were no different from that of an ordinary servant. At this moment, his eyes were closed, and three quarters of his face was hidden under the white cloth.

Su He stretched out his hand to pick it up, "Since that's the case, why are you wearing a mask on your face?"

This action of his scared the chef so much that his soul almost left his body.

"Lord, a red rash appeared on the boy's face, and his face was full of red spots. I don't know what it was, but I was afraid of scaring people so I especially helped him put it on. Sir, it's better if you don't look at it." Just as he was about to touch the mask, the cook stopped him, his tone becoming frightened.

Seeing how clearly Su He rejected him, Su He scrutinized him and wanted to see more from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't stand the sight of his master in such a life-threatening situation!

The person on the chef's back who had his eyes closed gave Su He an indescribable feeling of familiarity. However, the black scar on his eyes was too malevolent, it caused Su He's eyes to be broken.

Even though the chef had said so, the always meticulous Su He acted as if there was no reason for him to do so and lifted the corner of his face.

Su He's face was pale under the mask, and numerous red dots lingered on his face. In just a second, Su He put down the mask.

"There won't be a next time."

His words were like a special pardon, the chef's heart dropped to the floor. Fortunately, he was smart enough to do something to her face in advance.

The chef quickly bowed and, not bothering to wipe the cold sweat off his face, picked up the 'boy' and ran as if he had oil on his feet. It was as if a talented wolf, tiger, and leopard were chasing him from behind.

Su He was puzzled. Was he that scary?

Normally, he would just keep his mouth shut. Perhaps it was because he was used to the gazes of fear from the people around him when he was by his side.

Although the chef looked quite strong, he had slipped quite quickly and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.

Su He turned around. Just as he was about to rush out to deliver the food, he was attracted by the white light on the ground.

Wait, this is … A woman's handkerchief?

The handkerchief in his hand was silky smooth. After unfolding it, what entered his eyes was a crane and a cloud. The embroidery was exquisite and did not come from an ordinary person. It was definitely a woman's item.

Cloud... Crane?

Su He was stunned, but suddenly recalled the fair skin on his face just now. It was obviously not the skin of a man, the chef's strange actions, and the red rash on his face …

Su He had a bad premonition, "Not good!" He subconsciously looked in the direction the chef had fled in, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen.

Su He was both embarrassed and ran to the new courtyard.

"Madam, open the door." Due to etiquette, Su He stood outside the house, knocked on the door and took a step back, lowering his head to wait.

No one answered.

Knocking again, no one answered.

He knocked again, but still no one answered.

"Miss Mo Yun, I have come to deliver some food for Madam." Su He's heart was filled with unease. Considering the importance of the matter, he shouted towards the house, "Su He, please excuse me." He did not bother with etiquette and pushed open the door.

The things in the room were arranged in an orderly manner, the eye-catching red light filled the entire room without missing anything. Only Lady Mo Yun and the lady who were originally staying in the room were left.

Su He put down the pastries, and the big red cap was casually thrown on the ground.

Sure enough, something happened.
