Chapter 1550: Chapter 1547: Idiot
The shopkeeper sighed regretfully: “Ah, it's really rare to eat a meal personally cooked by Madam, but the food sent from the Chu family is already delicious enough. Her disciples are truly well-taught by her.”
“Hehe, I've had plenty of chances to enjoy gourmet meals since I've been following Lord Chu.” Liu Ruying boasted, catching envious and jealous looks from the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper hurried off, while Liu Ruying turned and entered the main hall, enthusiastically pouring tea for Chu Heng, flashing a flattering smile: “Lord, please have some tea, hehe.”
“Sit properly, let's discuss serious matters.” Chu Heng cast him a sideways glance.
Liu Ruying quickly sat up straight, chuckling: “Lord, how about when Madam cooks, you send me a portion too?”
“Madam is generous; as long as you mention it, you'll surely have your share.”
Zhang Zhi initially mocked Liu Ruying's inability to sit still, but upon hearing this, couldn't help but salivate and glanced at Chu Heng with some embarrassment, full of longing in his eyes.
Chu Heng held his teacup, took a sip, and thought of Ah Yu, his expression softening with a smile.
Amidst their eager gazes, he said calmly: “There's a kitchen maid at the residence with culinary skills close to Madam's. She takes care of Nuanbao every day and doesn't have much time to cook.”
“Alright, the cook at the residence is good enough.” Liu Ruying felt slightly disappointed but figured he'd eventually have a chance, so wasn't in a hurry.
“By the way, Lord, I just found out that even Doctor Lu rarely gets dishes personally cooked by Madam. They used to be prepared by the residence's cooks, and now that Madam has sent one of the cooks over, there's even less need for her to send them personally.” Liu Ruying reported this information to Chu Heng, as if seeking credit for it.
Zhang Zhi's heart sank, wanting to reach out and cover his mouth.
Chu Heng, having listened, showed rare signs of emotion on his usually impassive face.
“Is that so?” He bit down on these words gently, carrying an air of danger.
Liu Ruying, still oblivious: “Yeah, but Madam's really kind, always sending medical books to Doctor Lu. I was wondering why Lu Yizheng didn't have such skills—turns out it's Madam helping that cultivated Doctor Lu's abilities!”
Zhang Zhi extended his leg and kicked Liu Ruying's calf.
“Ow, who kicked me?” Liu Ruying cried out in pain, nearly jumping up.
Zhang Zhi's face flushed red, not daring to look at Lord Chu's reaction, so he glared at Liu Ruying, making exaggerated gestures.
Chu Heng's fingers stroked his teacup, eyes shifting with a gloomy brilliance as he stood up: “You stay here.”
“…Yes, Lord…”
Watching Chu Heng leave swiftly, his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Ruying scratched his head, completely puzzled: “What happened here?”
“You're driving me crazy. Didn't you consider that Lord Chu might get mad because of what you said? Saying Madam always sends medical books to Doctor Lu—that'd make anyone think there's something unsavory going on, not knowing how precious Madam is to the Lord! You made this comment which could upset him!” Zhang Zhi's heart was anxious too, fearing a fight between Lord and Madam could be blamed on him later.
Liu Ruying, feeling apprehensive upon hearing this: “I was praising Madam, belittling Doctor Lu. The Lord should be happy about that!”
“Happy, my foot.” Zhang Zhi knocked him on the head, not holding back the force, causing Liu Ruying to holler in pain.
“Wouldn't you be mad if you heard your wife was close to another man!”
