Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Strange Apprenticeship
Yun Xiao raised her head from the busy green, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead, then said with a smile, “I am the fourth girl of Yun Clan.”

Yun Family’s Fourth Young Lady? Liu Chan muttered, but she did not remember knowing the Yun Family’s fourth young lady.

Liu Chan lowered her head and looked at Yun Xiao’s hand that was adding firewood. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she frowned and said, “How did you make this beggar chicken?”

Without waiting for Yun Xiao to speak, Chun Lan, who was beside Yun Xiao, had already said, “My family’s young lady’s culinary skills are among the best in the capital. Naturally, she can make beggar chicken!” Although Chun Lan was also curious as to why the girl would think of such a way to make a beggar chicken, she still felt that she had to speak up for the girl first, looking at Liu Chan’s attitude.

Number one?

When Liu Chan heard this, she was also slightly stunned, and then a bitter smile appeared in the depths of her eyes.

She lowered her head again and saw a semi-finished painting shed placed by Yun Xiao. She reached out and picked it up.

In the painting was a bamboo forest outside her courtyard. Although it was only a semi-finished product, it was already in its embryonic form. There was a different flavor in its shadows, and it touched the heartstrings of people. People couldn’t help but walk forward and cut open the layers of bamboo leaves to see if there was anything good hidden between the bamboo leaves.

This painting is not bad, cooking is not bad, “how did you come here?”

This place was very secluded. Very few people would come here. Sometimes, not a single person would appear here for a year or two. Therefore, three people appeared in front of her house. They did not say anything but cooked food at the entrance of her courtyard. This had to attract her attention.

Seeing Liu Chan ask this, Yun Xiao lowered her head and looked at her painting. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She sat down and smiled. “Today, she was annoyed and irritable, so she took the maidservant out to relax. She didn’t expect to come here and couldn’t bear to disturb her master, so she lit a fire at the door to cook.”

When Liu Chan heard Yun Xiao’s words, she snorted with a fake smile and said angrily, “Little doll, although I’m old, I’m not old yet. You brought a maidservant here to create such a formation, it won’t be meaningless.”

Yun Xiao had to say that her master was really smart.

However, she had already thought of her words and said with a smile, “You should know Cao Bingrong, right?”

“Cao Bingrong?” Upon hearing this name, Liu Chan’s heart skipped a beat and she nervously said, “Where is he now?”

Ever since her son suddenly disappeared a few months ago, she had never heard of him again. Now that she heard his name, she naturally knew that what happened today was not an accident, but that the little doll had done it on purpose.

Yun Xiao opened the dishes one by one, then slowly ate them. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, he is very well and safe now. I believe that he should be back soon, and I will give you a surprise.”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s tone and tone, it seemed that nothing had happened to her son. Liu Chan unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. She also sat down with Yun Xiao and picked up her chopsticks to eat the dishes on the table. Her movements were so skilled that it seemed as if she had practiced them many times. “Do you know where he is now?”

Chun Lan looked at Liu Chan, who was sitting with her own girl and was extremely familiar with her, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, but there was a trace of a smile in her eyes.

Although his behavior was a little unrestrained, it seemed that he was still very cute.

Yun Xiao picked up her chopsticks with a light smile and picked up Liu Chan’s chopsticks. She smiled and said, “I made this dish for me and my maidservant. It’s better if you don’t touch it.”

Liu Chan felt speechless at the taste of delicious food that she could not enjoy in front of her. Looking at the glittering light in Yun Xiao’s eyes, she secretly felt a headache, this girl! “You used my place to cook in front of my courtyard. Half of this meal is mine.”

There was also such an unreasonable person!

Yun Xiao smiled brightly and said, “Even so, we did not enter your courtyard, so this meal cannot be distributed to you.”

After she finished speaking, she called for Chun Lan and Qing Mo to sit down and eat together.

As for Qing Mo, he understood Yun Xiao’s intentions very well and stepped forward to point out Liu Chan’s acupoints.

Liu Chan, who was motionless, could only watch as Yun Xiao and the others ate up their meals bit by bit and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

In his heart, he was very dissatisfied with the little doll who had tapped his acupoints.

She looked at the roasted beggar chicken with a light gaze, and a faint fragrance floated out.

She didn’t need any other meals, but she was exceptionally persistent towards the beggar chicken. She looked at Yun Xiao and said, “Little doll, since you came to my place today, you must have some requests. Tell me what you want first. Maybe I can do it.”

A faint smile flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes and she whispered, “You guessed correctly.”

Liu Chan acted like I knew it, “Hurry up and tell me.”

“I want a master to teach me how to paint. Are you willing?” Yun Xiao stared fixedly at Liu Chan, her gaze carrying a trace of indifference.

Liu Chan was slightly stunned. “No, no, I’m not accepting any more disciples.”

Yun Xiao wasn’t angry either. In her previous life, she had been rejected many times by Liu Chan. She continued to say, “Then I’m sorry. Don’t even think about Cao Bingrong and the dishes.”

Liu Chan’s face turned red from Yun Xiao’s anger, but there was a trace of hesitation in her eyes. She looked at Yun Xiao and coughed dryly before continuing, “Little brat, tell me first, did Cao Bingrong send you here, or did you come here yourself?”

“What does it matter?” Yun Xiao faintly retaliated, but her smile carried a faint smile.

Liu Chan was momentarily speechless from being asked, That’s right. What does it matter? She is depressed and unwilling to speak. Seeing that Yun Xiao has already rolled over the beggar chicken and a fragrant smell enters her mind, Liu Chan is immediately shocked. She says dryly, “Little doll, let your people unlock the acupoints on my body. I’ll take you as my disciple.”

Yun Xiao waved her hand and immediately asked Qing Mo to remove the acupoints for Liu Chan. She walked to the side and held the tea she had prepared in her hand. She smiled and said, “Please have some tea, Master!”

Liu Chan glanced at Yun Xiao and unwillingly swallowed the tea.

After Liu Chan put down the teacup, Yun Xiao took out the painting that she had been keeping. She raised her hands above her head and said respectfully, “Since I am a disciple, I have prepared a greeting. I hope Master can accept it.”

Liu Chan waved her hand and said, “Alright, alright. There’s no need for these false gifts …”

Just as he said this, his entire voice seemed to be stuck. He could no longer pronounce a syllable because Yun Xiao had already opened the painting bit by bit.

The familiar painting style, the familiar seal, and the familiar words all surprised Liu Chan. She grabbed the painting in Yun Xiao’s hand.

She had searched for this painting for a long time, but unfortunately, she could not find it. She did not expect it to appear in Yun Xiao’s hands. Only then did Liu Chan know clearly that Yun Xiao had already prepared for her coming to apprentice today.

However, to be able to obtain this painting, it seems that her identity as a disciple is not simple.

Liu Chan stroked the painting over and over again, revealing a satisfied feeling like a child. “Disciple, no matter why you came to apprentice today, I have to thank you very much. This painting was once lost by me. I didn’t expect that I would be able to find it before I died.”

When Yun Xiao heard this, her face was filled with sorrow. In her previous life, when Liu Chan passed away, even before she left with regret, she did not retrieve her lost paintings.

“Master, don’t say that. As long as you have the heart, you can find anything.” Yun Xiao’s expression was calm, as if it was really like this.

Liu Chan regained her composure and felt extremely emotional in her heart. Therefore, she shared Yun Xiao’s words deeply. She would definitely be able to gather all the paintings before she died.

Yun Xiao did not look at Liu Chan again. Instead, she looked at the beggar chicken. This time, the beggar chicken was already cooked. Yun Xiao shattered a layer of dry soil outside and a fragrance swept over. The four people present unconsciously narrowed their eyes. This beggar chicken only smelled delicious and felt that it must be delicious.

Liu Chan carefully put away the painting, and then snatched the beggar chicken from Yun Xiao’s hand. “You all used your meals just now, so this beggar chicken is mine.”

Yun Xiao shook her head and laughed. Master really didn’t change at all. However, she still let Qing Mo cut the beggar chicken in half with her longsword. This way, Liu Chan would not eat too much. It would be bad for her body at that time.

Liu Chan was very dissatisfied with this, but she still divided the beggar chicken into a few pieces and carefully ate it. She did not forget to ask, “Little doll, don’t change the topic. You haven’t said where Cao Bingrong went yet.”

Yun Xiao looked at Liu Chan. After thinking for a while, she decided to tell the truth, “Master, Cao Bingrong has entered the capital and is now the second in command of Imperial Kitchen in the Imperial Palace. He is very good at cooking. In Imperial Kitchen, no one can threaten him. He is very safe.”

Unexpectedly, after hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Liu Chan’s expression was slightly stunned. The expression of satisfaction on her face also disappeared completely. She immediately jumped up, wanting to capture Cao Bingrong.

After taking a step outside, Liu Chan stopped and looked at Yun Xiao who had been staring at her. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Can you tie Cao Bingrong up and bring him out! That unfilial son! He wants to anger me to death!”

Yun Xiao did not expect that Liu Chan would react in this way. If she wanted to find her son, she should go out and look for him by herself at this time. However, she was clearly so impatient that she came back after taking a step.

Like she was scared to go out?

Was it the same in his previous life? This was especially true for Master, who was always very resistant to the royal family, but why?

“Master, I think he’s determined. Besides, he can’t come out now. The Emperor won’t let him come out.” She, the manager of the Imperial Cuisine Room, was always not in the Imperial Cuisine Room. Cao Bingrong was in charge of everything in the Imperial Cuisine Room alone.

At this time, the Jin Emperor would definitely not let Cao Bingrong come out as well.

“What?” Liu Chan never thought that things would turn out like this. “You mean he met the Emperor?”

Yun Xiao nodded, but Liu Chan’s expression became even more embarrassed. She suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand. Her voice carried an indescribable sorrow, “Good disciple, do you have any way to let him out?”

Cao Bingrong couldn’t see that man! Absolutely not! She would not let Cao Bingrong stay by that man’s side!

Yun Xiao felt that Liu Chan’s actions were even more puzzling. She shook her head. She was able to come out on her own because her back was against the Yun Clan. Cao Bingrong was different from her.

Liu Chan suddenly let go of Yun Xiao’s hand in a dispirited manner. Her entire body felt as if someone had tapped on an acupoint. She stiffly walked into the courtyard and said, “You go.”

After she finished speaking, she closed the fence fiercely.

Yun Xiao looked at Liu Chan’s messy footsteps and felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but she couldn’t figure it out for a moment.

Yun Xiao stood outside the fence for a long time. Looking at Liu Chan’s forgotten Liu Lin’s road map, all her master wanted was to find this painting, but now, this painting could not compare to that piece of news?

Yun Xiao opened the fence and carefully walked in. She sent in the painting and the beggar chicken. Seeing that Liu Chan was fine, her expression was a little strange.

When Liu Chan ordered her to leave again, Yun Xiao had no choice but to leave with her maidservant.
