(This chapter is Tang Xiaojiu's long commentary!

Also, thanks to the old girl and Indifferent 282594044's red packets and Zhang Zhaozhao's stamp. The red packets are almost at a hundred. There will be more updates when the time comes!)

In the end, Eldest Sister-In-Law Rong didn't have the courage to take a step forward and could only silently put the jade pendant into her sleeve pocket.

Her hesitation was seen by the others, and a few of the madams nearby immediately rolled their eyes at her.

Eldest Sister-In-Law Rong had no choice but to silently swallow her anger.

Sister Su was more sensible and knew that this situation wasn't something an unmarried daughter like her could participate in. Thus, she could only nervously observe the situation in the crowd.

Sister Yuan, on the other hand, stared at the sparkling jewelry on the stone table with greed in her eyes.

There were more than twenty pieces of jewelry here, and not a single one was ordinary. If they were all given to her, she would probably go crazy with joy.

Thus, when she looked at Chu Lian, her eyes carried a trace of jealousy, hatred, and vile curses.

Chu Lian's gaze swept over to Eldest Sister-In-Law Rong. She saw that Eldest Sister-In-Law Rong had her head slightly lowered and didn't dare to meet her eyes. Chu Lian laughed inwardly and didn't take it to heart.

"Third Young Mistress of Duke Jing 'an Estate, please!"

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan raised her voice slightly and pursed her lips. Although her tone didn't sound friendly, her eyes were clearly filled with disdain.

Chu Lian stood in the crowd. She wasn't dressed particularly well, but her fearless expression made people want to applaud her courage. She bowed and said, "Madams, please send a few people to the small kitchen with me as witnesses."

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan didn't think that Chu Lian would make such a request again, so she immediately waved her hand for two capable servants to follow her. Madam Yang did the same.

When the crowd saw Chu Lian leave with the four servants to the small kitchen in the Plum Pavilion Courtyard, the voices of discussion grew louder.

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan sneered inwardly as her servant helped her to sit down. She didn't believe that this unfavored servant from the Duke of Ying would be able to stir up trouble.

Don't think that just because your stomach is good, your limbs and brain are good!

Mistress Yang was sitting beside the wife of Marquis Ding Yuan. A servant girl served her a cup of freshly brewed tea. She took it and took a sip, smiling. "What's wrong? Is the wife of the Crown Prince starting to feel sorry for your pearl bracelet so soon?"

"Madam Yang, the longevity peach hasn't been served yet. How can you be so sure that you can win?"

The two of them were like sabers and swords, causing the madams around them to keep quiet out of fear. They all shrank their necks and pretended to be quails.

No one wanted to accidentally become a chess piece in Chu Lian's battle.

In the Cool Breeze Pavilion opposite the Plum Pavilion, the pair of green eyes on the third floor's window flashed slightly and suddenly revealed a trace of a smile. Only a low murmur could be heard, "That brat San Lang has married a fun wife."

The man waved his hand, and the black shadow in the room flashed again, "Have everyone leave first. This Prince wants to see what this Chu Liu can do."

"Yes, Master."

A blue-clothed manservant whispered in Heir Zheng's ear for a while at the lakeside veranda of the Cool Breeze Pavilion. Heir Zheng's eyes, which were originally staring at the opposite side, immediately lit up.

"Is it true?"

"Heir, this lowly one doesn't dare to hide anything."

"Hurry and go. Once you have the results, report to me immediately!" Heir Zheng anxiously kicked the manservant's butt. The manservant laughed and ran away.

Heir Zheng quickly walked to Xiao Bojian's side, who was still standing in the same spot. "Senior Xiao, guess what happened on the other side. Haha, it's so lively. I didn't think that the old Marquis Ding Yuan's birthday would be so lively. This trip really wasn't in vain."

If it weren't for the fact that the opposite side was full of women and that Heir Zheng was unengaged, with his liveliness, he would have gone to take a look.

Xiao Bojian glanced at Heir Zheng. His face was even more exquisite than a woman's, but his thin lips were tightly pursed. His expression revealed a strong sense of abstinence, almost causing Heir Zheng, as a man, to go into a daze.

"Heir, just tell me directly. I hate guessing the most."

Heir Zheng wasn't annoyed by Xiao Bojian's cold attitude. His Senior Xiao was always this cold, as if he had no interest in anything. He felt that it was pointless to speak in such a teasing tone, so he directly explained what happened on the other side in detail.

Heir Zheng even clicked his tongue in praise when he talked about the exciting parts.

"Oh, that's right. Speaking of this Third Young Mistress of Count Jing 'an's estate, didn't Grandmother bring us back a few days ago to try the Xin Xuan Biscuits?

Since she can make such desserts, then these longevity peaches are nothing.

Haha, today, Marquis Ding Yuan's wife is going to have a wasted effort. I really can't wait to see her annoyed expression. "

Xiao Bojian listened to Heir Zheng's words, but his heart was in turmoil.

His thin lips couldn't help but purse into a straight line. His slender fingers on the railing clenched tighter and tighter.

He was thinking much more than Heir Zheng.

How did Lian 'er offend Princess Leyao?

Today's incident was obviously a setup. Zou Yuanqin, Princess Leyao, and Marquis Ding Yuan's wife were all in the same boat.

What was Madam Yang plotting to push Lian 'er into the center of the incident?

And He Changdi!

Since he married her, he mistreated her. This kind of man wasn't worthy of Lian 'er!

Xiao Bojian's slightly raised eyes were brewing a storm. He was suppressing his emotions. He hated himself for not being able to help Chu Lian when she was in her most difficult situation and could only let her face it alone.

Since He Sanlang wasn't worthy, then she couldn't blame him for snatching her away!

Also, he wouldn't let a single one of the people who had embarrassed Lian 'er today off the hook!

If Chu Lian, who was in the small kitchen instructing the two maids to roll out the dough, knew what Xiao Bojian was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes at him.

Here's one more thing: Go somewhere cool and don't get in my way of earning money.

Also, does your mother know that your mind is so twisted and dark?

It was a pity that Chu Lian didn't know anything. She was busy running around in the kitchen.

The four nannies that followed her were the servants of Marquis Ding Yuan's wife and Madam Yang, so no one could do anything.

The small kitchen had all the ingredients because De 'an House's Mister Wang had previously made longevity peaches here.

With Xiyan and Wenqing's help, Chu Lian's speed was even faster.

In the beginning, the four nannies stood at the side with a straight face. Even the two nannies by Marquis Ding Yuan's wife's side were staring at her. However, as time passed, the eyes of the nannies grew wider and wider. The nannies by Marquis Ding Yuan's wife's side began to break out in a cold sweat.

Unfortunately, the other two nannies were watching, so they couldn't leave.

Chu Lian's movements were calm. In less than an hour, she had made several baskets of longevity peaches.

When Chu Lian took out the longevity peaches, the four nannies craned their necks to take a look. However, Chu Lian intentionally blocked them, so they couldn't see clearly.

When Chu Lian cleaned her hands and led the maids and nannies back to Plum Pavilion, all of the women in Plum Pavilion immediately looked at Chu Lian. Then, all of their gazes landed on the food boxes that Xiyan was holding. They felt like their hearts were being itched. They wished they could immediately see what the longevity peaches of Count Jing 'an's third young mistress looked like.

The four nannies hurried back to their respective masters' sides.

The nanny of Marquis Ding Yuan's wife whispered a few words into her ear. Marquis Ding Yuan's wife's expression changed. She asked in a low voice, "Really?"

The nanny nodded and said, "However, this old servant didn't see what the finished product looked like, let alone taste it.

At that time, Count Jing 'an's third young mistress intentionally hid it. "

Hearing the nanny say this, the nervousness on Marquis Ding Yuan's wife's face instantly disappeared.

Ha!

Hiding it meant that she had a guilty conscience.

Who wouldn't learn to act like this? However, she still didn't believe that a young mistress who had never cooked could make a better longevity peach than Sir Wang.

With Nanny Jing's words, Marquis Ding Yuan's wife was even more certain that Chu Lian was just putting on an act. Moreover, having a good appearance did not necessarily mean that it tasted good. She hadn't even seen the real thing yet, so why should she panic and let that annoying Madam Yang see her as a joke?

The nanny wanted to say more, but Marquis Ding Yuan's wife waved her hand and chased her away.

The nanny could only shut her mouth and take a few steps back. She stood in a corner and stared at Chu Lian's movements with an itch in her heart.

Chu Lian led her maidservants into the crowd and bowed to all the madams. "Sorry for the long wait, madams."

Princess Leyao glared at Chu Lian and snorted coldly. "Pretentious."

"Princess, please don't be angry. She can only put on an act for now. Let's see if she can still keep her face when she takes out the food."

Zou Yuanqin hurriedly tried to curry favor.

"Alright, there's no need to be so courteous. Bring the longevity peaches over!" Madam Yang said calmly.

Chu Lian did not waste any time. She had Xiyan place the food box on the stone table in the middle of the crowd and personally opened it.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were glued to the food box. They widened their eyes in fear of missing a single moment. Even Princess Leyao and Princess Duanjia were no exception.

Sister Su anxiously stirred her handkerchief and looked worriedly at the food box. Sister-in-law Rong was nervous and regretful, and her heart was filled with complicated feelings. Sister Yuan, who was sitting at the side, could not take her eyes off the plate of jewelry.

Everyone watched as Chu Lian took out three plates of fresh peaches of moderate size from the food box and placed them on the stone table. The top of the peaches was bright and glistening, and the body was clear and plump. There were a few fresh green leaves on the stem, and the leaves were stained with water vapor. They even gave off a pleasant and refreshing scent. These were clearly sweet peaches that had just been plucked from the tree!

All the madams were stunned, and some even had their mouths agape in shock.

Suddenly, a delicate voice cried out, "Ah!

These aren't fresh peaches, they're made from flour! "

The young girl's cry was crisp and clear, and everyone present understood what she was saying.

What?

These really weren't fresh peaches?

They were longevity peaches?

The young girl realized that she had been rude. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her small hands and glanced at her mother with a flushed face. The madam also knew that her daughter had been rude and apologized to her mother. She apologized as she explained, "When Third Young Madam of Duke Jing 'an's estate brought them out just now, I also thought they were fresh peaches. It was only when I saw that they were still steaming that I realized they were longevity peaches."

The young girl and the madam were the closest to the stone table, so they were the first to notice.

After hearing her explanation, the madam of Full Plum Pavilion was even more shocked. Were those almost fake longevity peaches really made from flour and not real peaches?

Even Madam Yang and Wei Fengzi became interested.

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan stared at the plates of longevity peaches in a daze. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and her tightly clenched handkerchief betrayed her indignation.

"What's the point of looking like them? Sir Wang's longevity peaches can't be made just by looking like them!" Princess Leyao couldn't contain her anger and retorted.
