A girl about the same age as Ah Qiu walked in from the door.

Seeing the cloth-clothed Shen Zhu, Zhuer's delicate and pretty face carried a trace of contempt.

"Someone the Uncle Chen has personally invited? I thought that he had grown three heads and six arms, but it seems like there's nothing special about him now! "

Zhuer said in a strange tone, his neck tilted to the side as he looked at Shen Zhu with disdain.

"Zhuer, aren't you on duty today? Why did you come to the courtyard at this time of the day? "

The smile on Aunt Liu's face gradually disappeared, and his tone became stern.

Ah Qiu turned his head and looked at Shen Zhu who had a calm expression.

Sigh, to be harmed by others for no reason, no one felt good.

In any case, with her mother here, this woman wouldn't be able to act arrogantly.

"Didn't I hear that a new person has arrived at Villa? Of course, I came back to take a look."

Zhuer was not polite at all. He saw the green ball on the table unceremoniously pick it up and stuff it into his mouth.

She looked at Shen Zhu who did not seem to be angry at all, feeling extremely depressed in her heart, and unhappily continued to speak.

"I heard that you will have to stay at the Villa after giving birth. Seeing Lady Shen's appearance of not touching the Yang Spring Water at all, it seems like I have been wronged to come to the Villa to help out with cooking."

Shen Zhu chuckled, "It's my fortune to be invited to the Villa to help with the chefs, why would I feel wronged?"

The answer came in a series of twists and turns.

Who doesn't have a few weird neighbors? From the moment Zhuer had said those provocative words when she entered the room, Shen Zhu had felt that her future life wouldn't be peaceful at all.

"Lady Shen's words are really clever!" Zhuer coldly snorted, he was so angered that not a single word came out of his mouth, and he shoved two more balls of green into it.

"Miss Zhuer must be joking, I'm just discussing the matter. It's normal for Miss Zhuer to not catch my eye since she was born in the villa." Shen Zhu said in a neither hurried nor slow manner.

She had just heard from Aunt Liu that Zhuer had always hoped to manage the large kitchen and the position of the head chef, but because his culinary skills were limited, he had never been able to get the attention of his master.

Shen Zhu's culinary skills were approved by her master, so she promised to stay in the manor after the delivery. To Zhuer, this was an especially big threat.

Shen Zhu only ever since the beginning had been for living, he didn't want to make enemies with her.

"My husband and I did not sell ourselves to the manor. Miss Zhuer should first treat our neighborhood as a nice place to get along with each other."

She wasn't someone who could be easily taken advantage of.

Hearing Shen Zhu's self-deprecation, Zhuer was complacent, and did not take the reminder from Shen Zhu to heart.

He thought to himself: How good can a peasant girl's craftsmanship be? Maybe the young mistress was just drawing a fresh picture.

"I still have things to do, so I won't be accompanying Lady Shen." Zhuer stood up, his expression obviously better than when he first entered.

"Miss Zhuer, take care."

Shen Zhu sent them off politely.

The Aunt Liu sneered, "Zhuer relied on her elder sister to be the favorite concubine of the Young Master and has done a lot of impressive things. You be careful."

She could tell from her observations just now that Shen Zhu had his own ideas, so she only needed to give him a brief reminder.

When Su Zongwen came back, he saw two more people in the room. He looked at them in surprise and nodded politely.

"Brother Wen, you're back."

Seeing that Su Zongwen had returned, a hint of unknown joy appeared on Shen Zhu's face as he introduced him to the Aunt Liu and the Ah Qiu.

"The two of them are also serving in the manor ? Aunt Liu's son and Ah Qiu."

"Aunt Liu, this is my husband, Su Zongwen." Shen Zhu laughed.

Su Zongwen nodded his head, his voice steady and powerful, "Thank you very much, Aunt Liu and Miss Ah Qiu."

A trace of praise flashed across Aunt Liu's face as he said unhurriedly: "I was just accompanying Yue Niang while chatting, and I was even getting food and drinks along the way."

"Aunt Liu is too courteous, Yue Niang is moving around with his body so it is inconvenient, I still have to thank you all for your help, there are not many good things for you guys."

As Su Zongwen looked at the green orb on the table, he immediately understood what Aunt Liu meant by "slurp slurp slurp". He then said, "It's just some coarse food brought by your family, Aunt Liu doesn't mind."

"Yue Niang's skills are so good, there's no reason for him to despise her. Furthermore, it's all in the Villa, it's only right for us to help each other out."

With Su Zongwen's courteous words, old granny Liu became even more joyous. Furthermore, her relationship with Shen Zhu was great today, so she directly changed her name to "best friend".

Old woman Liu was a person with eyes, upon seeing Su Zongwen's gaze on his wife, she pulled Ah Qiu's hand.

"I won't bother you guys with your packing. Take me back first, if you need any help, then come find me."

Su Zongwen supported Shen Zhu as he escorted the mother and daughter pair to the door, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Liu."
