Chapter 471: Chapter 172 Recipes
Yueyao t Ma Chengteng in the study.
Yueyao, with an anxious look, said, “Uncle, it’s not that I am being overly worried, but Lady Mo just can’t hold back anymore. She did not let return this ti, and if she continues like this, she might even put under house arrest in the future.” Matters within the Lian Mansion were not suitable to discuss with Ruo Lan, but she could tell Ma Chengteng everything in detail.
Hearing this, Ma Chengteng’s eyes blazed with fury. He had not expected that Lady Mo really couldn’t restrain herself anymore. He could not directly take action against Lady Mo, but he had other thods. Right away, he said to Yueyao, “Don’t worry, if Lady Mo really dares to do sothing to you, your uncle won’t just stand by.” As of now, Lady Mo had not done anything substantial, only giving so verbal difficulties. But if she really dared do anything to Yueyao, he would not spare the Mo Family. His niece was not soone to be bullied easily.
Yueyao murmured within her heart, if Lady Mo really did sothing to her, would she still have anyone to turn to? Helplessly, Yueyao asked, “Uncle, is there still no news about the guards?”
Ma Chengteng shook his head, “Finding a female with martial skills is not difficult; the hard part is finding one with a clean background and identity, who is also not too old. But don’t be anxious, we will definitely find one.”
Yueyao sighed inwardly, she couldn’t afford to search slowly, she was running out of ti. Yueyao nodded, “Alright.” She would let her uncle search first. One could never have too many female guards; one more guard ant one more layer of protection.
After Yueyao returned, she instructed soone to pack her belongings, and at that mont Yuehuan ca over. Yuehuan’s reason for coming was to borrow a couple of books.
Yuehuan also heard that Yueying had taken Yueyao aside alone, and she had thought to use borrowing books as a pretense to co over. Having soone to cover for her would always be better.
Hong i very tactfully left, leaving the study with only the two of them. Yueyao, looking at Yuehuan, said, “Why take such a big risk to co here?”
Yuehuan gave a bitter smile, “I had no choice but to ask you for help, Third Sister.”
Yueyao, puzzled, asked, “What happened?”
Without hiding anything, Yuehuan said, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep the silver coins I have.”
A complex light flashed in Yueyao’s eyes; she had long suspected that Lady Mo wouldn’t let the money in the hands of Yueying and Yuehuan go, and she thought that Lady Mo would be more discreet after the last lesson, which would take ti. Yet, she did not expect Lady Mo to act so quickly: “What do you an?”
Yuehuan didn’t specify, “Maternal Auntie’s intention is to have hand over the money, as Lady Mo needs it urgently. To buy peace, I am preparing to give it to her.”
Yueyao wondered to herself, Maternal Aunt Su was truly a diehard supporter of Lady Mo. Seeing the heavy look on Yuehuan’s face, Yueyao asked, “What do you want to do?”
Yuehuan took out a thick stack of papers from her sleeve, covered in writing. Yuehuan: “This is a compilation of various signature dishes I have organized recently from the modern era. I’m hoping you, Third Sister, can help turn them into money. Third Sister, these are all exclusive, and they should be unavailable in this era.” Yuehuan really had no other options; she would have liked to start her own restaurant if she could, but with Lady Mo extorting from her like this, she had the heart but not the courage.
Yueyao flipped through them and saw ‘Capital City Roast Duck’ along with a casual glance at the recipe. Looking up at Yuehuan, she said, “All these are exclusively unique?” If they were exclusive, it would be a bit of a waste to sell them as recipes.
Yuehuan nodded, “I can’t say all of them are, but most likely they are absent from this era.” She owed this to a roommate whose father was a chef; she herself was a foodie, so she recorded many dish recipes to make them herself. She never thought she would have to trade them for money now.
Yueyao, looking at Yuehuan, asked, “Are you in urgent need of money?”
Yuehuan nodded. With all the money handed over, she would have no money left. It was extrely difficult to do anything without money in the Lian Mansion. She urgently needed money now.
After considering for a mont, Yueyao said, “I can’t go out now, and I have to go to the mountains the day after tomorrow, so I definitely can’t turn this cookbook into money. I will lend you the money for now, and you can pay back in the future once you’ve converted these things into money.”
Yuehuan felt sowhat embarrassed, but she really needed the money at the mont. Yuehuan reminded, “Third Sister, you must be careful of Lady Mo harming you. Lady Mo wouldn’t let go of the little over two thousand taels of silver I have, so she definitely won’t let go of the much larger amount you have.” After saying this, she felt foolish, as Yueyao had already lived through a lifeti and knew quite well what Lady Mo was capable of.
Although Yueyao did not need Yuehuan’s warning, Yuehuan’s words were out of concern for her. Smiling, Yueyao said, “Rest assured, I know what to do.”
Yuehuan was a bit sheepish.
After thinking for another mont, Yueyao asked, “Do you know what Lady Mo’s expectations for Yuebing are?” She wanted Yuehuan to focus on what mattered, to avoid trying to please in the wrong direction.
