After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 101: That’s My Stepmother, and She’s Quite Attractiv

The cook was busy in the kitchen. Seeing ng Yao co in, she was a bit surprised. Ap told her that ng Yao was here to make pancakes for the young master, and the cook had a look of preparing for a battle.

Did she think ng Yao was the new cook? Afraid of losing her job?

ng Yao found it sowhat amusing.

"Ap, help start the fire," ng Yao said.

"Ap is here to take care of the young master, how can he do such heavy work? Let do it," the cook insisted.

ng Yao said nothing, just looked at Ap.

"It’s not heavy work, I can do it," Ap hurriedly said, "Cook Liu, you go and do sothing else."

"But the adult praises my cooking as delicious," Liu insisted.

"No one is saying your food isn’t good. It’s just that the young master wants to eat the pancakes made by Mrs. Zhao. Stop dawdling here, if you delay the young master’s al and he’s unhappy, what then?" Ap was a bit impatient; how could this person not get the hint?

Reluctantly, Liu left the kitchen.

ng Yao chopped up so shredded radish and cabbage, cracked in a few eggs, added a little flour, and mixed until the consistency was just right, then began seasoning.

Ap quickly started the fire, and once the pan was hot, ng Yao poured a circle of oil around its edge.

Zian doesn’t like eating vegetables, so to get him to eat more, ng Yao always makes these pancakes.

However, making them is a real test of skill; if the vegetable batter is too thick, it won’t spread well, too thin and it won’t hold shape, and it will definitely fall apart when flipped.

ng Yao’s skill was superb, every piece was perfect.

"Mrs. Zhao," Ap suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" ng Yao thought he wanted a pancake to eat.

"Our adult is a really good person, he has no foul habits, is honest in his duties, and is quite gentle in private," Ap said seriously.

He wasn’t asking for a pancake, he was promoting his master.

"Previously, if I wasn’t mistaken, you seed to have so hostility towards ?" ng Yao’s speech was slow.

Ap was a bit embarrassed, "I originally thought you had ill intentions, trying to use the young master to gain control over our master. The master scolded , saying you weren’t that kind of person. The master is very perceptive, so it was I who judged you with suspicion."

ng Yao laughed.

"Please don’t deny our master just because of my offense, he truly is a very good man," Ap said hastily.

"Your master isn’t in a hurry, why are you so anxious?" ng Yao said, sowhat speechless.

"It’s because I think you’re great! Plus, the young master is very attached to you. If you agree, the young master will surely be very happy," Ap said.

"This is not a trivial matter, I need ti to think it over," ng Yao said.

Even though Ap couldn’t quite understand, he felt this was a great opportunity for ng Yao, anyone else would be ecstatic to agree. Though he thought this way, he still said humbly, "It’s indeed worth thinking over, no rush, no rush."

ng Yao spoke to Ap about delivering water, and Ap patted his chest in assurance.

"Madam, rest assured, I will definitely take care of this for you," Ap said.

He even skipped the surna Zhao, directly calling her madam.

"The pancakes are done, when you eat at noon, just heat the pan, warm them slightly, and they can be eaten," ng Yao said.

"Alright, I’ll serve the master and young master at noon," Ap said.

ng Yao wanted to say these were made for Zian, but looking at the quantity, not only was there enough for the County Magistrate, but also for Ap.

"Then I’ll head back now," ng Yao said, removing her apron.

Zian and Ap escorted ng Yao and Wen Nuan to the door, Zian holding ng Yao’s hand, reluctant to let go, Ap whispered in his ear, and the little guy imdiately let go, happily saying goodbye to ng Yao.

Ap was right, he should hurry and tell his father, so his mother could quickly move in, and they wouldn’t have to be apart every day.

At the alley entrance, ng Yao encountered Chen He.

They had just passed each other a few tis at the inn, so ng Yao didn’t stop to greet him.

Besides, thinking of what Wen Nuan had said, ng Yao’s impression of this person was extrely poor.

Even without what Wen Nuan said, from his microexpressions, ng Yao could tell he was a person of ill intent.

Such a person, ng Yao wanted no interaction with him.

Chen He considered himself a scholar, worthy of respect everywhere he went.

Yet, this woman outright ignored him!

It must have been that little attendant of Wen Shu’s slandering him again.

Chen He stared sullenly at the backs of ng Yao and Wen Nuan for a while, and when he was about to leave, another woman erged from the alley, muttering as if cursing.

"Auntie, I’m new to the town and a bit lost, would you mind telling whose house this alley leads to?" Chen He asked politely.

Liu, worried about her job, was a bit upset when stopped abruptly, "How could you not know? The alley leads to the County Governnt’s backyard, where the County Magistrate’s family lives."

"Just one family?" Chen He pressed.

"Obviously," Liu said impatiently.

So, was that woman with Wen Nuan coming from the County Governnt’s backyard?

Chen He thought for a mont, then took out a small piece of broken silver, "To be honest, I’m not lost, I ca following soone."

Seeing Liu’s puzzled look, Chen He put on an awkward expression, "My mother ca to town with my younger sister, my father was worried, and told to follow them secretly."

In these days, everyone loved gossip.

Liu’s eyes shone, "Why would your father ask you to follow your mother?"

She was almost certain that the woman she saw just now was this young man’s mother.

"She’s my stepmother, quite charming... My father is fifty this year," Chen He sighed.

"Does your stepmother often go out?" Liu asked excitedly.

Surely the old man had found sothing out, otherwise, why have his son follow?

She thought so, that woman looked all charming and seductive, clearly not up to any good.

If she was of bad character, Liu wouldn’t need to worry about losing her job.

"Co, young man, tell more about it," Liu said eagerly.

Chen He vaguely said so bad things about ng Yao, and Liu got an idea, saying a few ambiguous things herself.

The County Magistrate’s young master and his attendant were very courteous to ng Yao.

The young master loved eating ng Yao’s cooking.

Liu, with suggestive looks, implied that ng Yao must have so important backing to be going in and out of the County Governnt’s backyard.

Just short of directly telling Chen He that ng Yao was cheating on his father.

To Chen He, this was explosive news.

What if that woman’s backing was the County Magistrate?

The woman’s son had co to take the exams, Wen Shu seed to have so connection with this woman.

Did this not prove that there were hidden manipulations in the upcoming exams? If he were to threaten that woman...

Chen He believed that this ti, he was sure to succeed in the exams.
