“What? The Third Prince saved you?” Madam Cui exclaimed.
After that, she looked at her with a complicated gaze. The expression on her face also changed, just like in an opera performance. It was interesting, to say the least.
Yang Wanning was overjoyed when she saw this.
“You didn’t expect it, did you? After all the scheming, you actually helped me out. You must be vomiting internally.” Yang Wanning thought to herself.
However, she could not understand why she did not expect to meet the Third Prince in her previous life.
There was no such thing as promoting sweet potatoes, and the Gu family went radio silent after returning to the countryside.
Could something have happened? Or was it because of her regression?
She didn’t have a clue, and this wasn’t the time to think about it. She continued, “Yes, but to be precise, I was saved by my third cousin and his wife, who followed the Third Prince to the capital.”
“Third cousin?” Madam Cui was stunned for a moment. But, the Cui family had yet to come to the capital recently.
She thought of something and asked in disbelief, “The Gu family, aren’t they guilty? How can they be by the Third Prince’s side?”
Yang Wanning replied with some fake surprise, “I’m not sure about the details. It could be because Third Cousin’s medical skills are not bad, as he was the one who bandaged my head.”
She was familiar with the Yang family’s personality; they exemplified bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They would only make a move once they understood the depth of the Gu family.
Madam Cui would not make things difficult for her and her brother before more information was gathered.
This would give Yang Wanning time to a.s.sess the situation and figure out what had happened in her previous life before launching a counterattack.
Of course, it would be preferable if the Gu family could recover or have their crimes pardoned if they couldn’t. This way, her partic.i.p.ation in the consort election would be unaffected.
Madam Cui did not ask any more questions after hearing this. Instead, she waved her hand and told her to return to her room.
In the afternoon, Zhou Huaiming brought the mutton and barbecue tools over, and they called for three servants to skewer the meat.
After the skewers were done, Zhou Huaiming went to call the Third Prince over. There was also a young man in his thirties who wore luxurious clothes and had a firm expression.
After Zhou Huaiming returned, he introduced them to each other.
Only then did Zhou Ying and her husband learn that this was the butler’s eldest son and the Third Prince’s G.o.dbrother, Feng Chun. He currently manages all of the Third Prince’s private property.
“Doctor Gu, Lady Gu, if you need anything from me, just let me know.” Feng Chun stepped forward and greeted them.
“Of course. If you need my help, don’t hesitate as well.” Gu Chengrui returned the greeting.
“Alright, now that we know each other, let’s quickly sit down and start the barbecue.” Zhou Huaiming said.
After saying that, he walked straight to the grill and grabbed the skewers to barbecue them.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he helped smash some charcoal for preparation.
After a while, Zhou Ying handed many cooked skewers to Zhou Huaiming and said, “Brother Zhou, you guys eat first. 1’11 cook.”
“Alright, we’ll take your place later.” After Zhou Huaiming finished speaking, he took the skewer into the dining room and placed it on the table.”Hurry up and eat while it’s hot. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
After saying that, he took a skewer and started eating. “Mmm, it’s still the same. Fragrant, fresh, and tender. It’s amazing.”
As for the Third Prince and Feng Chun, they shook their heads when they saw his gluttonous appearance. However, they soon succ.u.mbed to the temptation and could not stop eating.
Gu Chengrui helped to light some charcoal. After the second batch of skewers was ready, he carried it into the house.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying felt they had enough to eat for a while, so she roasted the lamb leg. At the same time, she called over three women to help them roast more.
Once the lamb leg was ready, the four men in the dining room were almost full.
Zhou Ying and the three women cooked while they ate. At the same time, she started chatting with them..
