Taking a bite, the chewy texture made his eyes squint with pleasure.
Wuming, standing nearby, swallowed his saliva as he watched.
Nan Jin Yu tried the other two, probably all made with added pork, but each had a different taste.
Raising his head, he saw Wuming staring outside, looking somewhat absent-minded.
Nan Jin Yu asked, "What’s wrong?"
Wuming shyly scratched his head, "Miss Gu made quite a lot, and also prepared a portion for me and Wuxin!"
Seeing Nan Jin Yu enjoying his food so much made Wuming crave it even more.
If it were Wuxin, he would never have said such words.
But, Wuming was different.
When Nan Jin Yu was young, he once encountered danger, and it was Wuming’s father who protected him with his life. Since Wuming wasn’t very bright, his father was most concerned about him before he passed.
Although he wasn’t smart, he had excellent martial arts potential.
Later, Nan Jin Yu took him under his wing.
Most of the people around Nan Jin Yu were orphans; after he joined the Prince Mansion, he no longer used his original name, fearing enemies would use his family to threaten him.
"Alright, you don’t need to serve here anymore, go out." Nan Jin Yu wasn’t fond of getting close to people, and ever since he was poisoned, he became more reclusive, doing things by himself whenever possible.
Only this way, he felt that he wasn’t useless.
"Yes, then I shall take my leave." Not only was Nan Jin Yu considerate of Wuming, Wuming himself was rather simple-minded. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
Fortunately, Wuxin was there to teach him, and the two had a close relationship, rarely causing any embarrassing situations.
In the Lin Family, Dahu was busy in the kitchen, while others were eating happily in the courtyard. Lin Sanshui happily brought out his treasured two pounds of liquor, drinking joyfully with Lin Ershui, without showing the discomfort he felt when he learned the sausage recipe had been leaked.
Looking at the table full of dishes, it was laid out with various kinds of Wanzi, some drizzled with sauce, some braised in red sauce, and others steamed, all made with different methods.
"Oh my, you have to admit, Niannian is indeed clever. I wonder how her previous parents raised her, how they could bear to give such a good child away! If I had such a capable daughter, I’d treat her like a treasure!" Mrs. Zhu couldn’t help but praise as she ate.
Mrs. Zhu didn’t know Gu Nian’s real background, but Mrs. Jiang did. Hearing this, she quickly glanced worriedly at Gu Nian, reminding, "Second Sister-in-law, the children are all here."
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly covered her mouth, her smile turning awkward, "Oh, my careless mouth, can’t even speak properly. Niannian, don’t mind what I said?"
Gu Nian feigned confusion and turned her head, "Second Aunt, what did you say that I shouldn’t mind?"
Only then did Mrs. Jiang breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed the child was too engrossed in eating to hear the words just now.
Mrs. Zhu thought the same as Mrs. Jiang.
Actually, Gu Nian wasn’t deaf, so how could she not hear?
Having inherited the original owner’s emotions, she surely felt uncomfortable upon hearing those words so suddenly.
But she also knew that Mrs. Zhu didn’t mean it intentionally.
This Second Aunt was just straightforward, sometimes the words slipped out as fast as her thoughts, but she harbored no ill intentions.
Before finishing the meal, Lin Shui arrived with his son Daniu, yet the instigator Mrs. Wang was nowhere to be seen.
