Chapter 40: The Amazing Yu Niaoniao!
Granny Xiuyan quickly said, “Yes, yes. He’s eating less and less. Sometimes he doesn’t eat all day when he’s busy.”
Yu Niao Niao said, “We have to treat his anorexia first. Make him psychologically interested in food. That way, we can further nurse his stomach.”
Granny Xiu Yan asked anxiously, “How can I cure anorexia?”
Yu Niaoniao thought hard for a long time before giving a three-word answer.
“I don’t know.”
Granny Xiuyan, who thought that the other party already had a solution, was speechless.
After a round of fierce analysis, that was it? That was it?! 1
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Yu Niaoniao picked up her chopsticks again and said as she ate.
“Give me some time to go back and think about it. Maybe I can figure out a solution.”
Granny Xiu Yan felt hopeful again. “If you think of a way, please tell me. I’ll do my best to cooperate with you.”
Yu Niaoniao gave her an OK sign.
Granny Xiu Yan was confused. “What do you mean by that gesture?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “It means no problem.”
After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Niaoniao was a little sleepy. Sister Xiuyan hurriedly got someone to clean up a guest room for her to let her have a good sleep.
By the time she woke up, it was late.
Yu Niaoniao prepared to go home.
Before she left, she spoke shyly to Granny Xiuyan.
“I want to think about the medicinal cuisine. It can help nourish one’s stomach, but I don’t have enough ingredients on hand…” 1
Granny Xiuyan immediately brought her to the kitchen and said generously, “You can choose any ingredients here. If there’s not enough, I’ll get someone to buy them immediately.”
Looking at the dazzling array of fresh ingredients, Yu Niaoniao’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
She flew over happily, like a little hamster in a hurry to stock up on food before winter came. Her small hands moved quickly, hugging the ingredients one by one. 2
When she couldn’t hold it anymore, she found a bamboo basket and placed the ingredients into it.
Soon, a bamboo basket was filled.
“Then let’s have a second bamboo basket.”
It was not until three full bamboo baskets were filled that Yu Niaoniao stopped.
She looked at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen and silently warned herself that she had to know when to stop. She had to leave time for the flock to grow. She couldn’t leave the sheep bald all at once. 2
When Sister Xiu Yan saw that she was going to bring home so many ingredients, she was extremely touched. For the sake of Duke Lang’s health, Miss Yu had really put in too much effort! It was the duke’s great fortune to have such a wife! 6
Granny Xiu Yan wanted to arrange for a carriage to send Yu Yuanyuan back, but she politely declined.
She placed two bamboo baskets on the donkey’s back, one on each side. Dang Gui carried the remaining bamboo basket on her shoulder.
Although Dang Gui had thin arms and legs, she was very strong.
Such a large basket of ingredients was nothing to her.
Yu Niaoniao led the donkey back while Dang Gui followed behind with the wicker basket.
The two of them walked happily home.
When the butler of the Yu Residence saw that Yu Niaoniao had brought back a bunch of messy things, his old face instantly frowned.
He asked painfully.
“Didn’t Master already agree to prepare a dowry for you? Why did you still buy so many things?”
Yu Wenxian raised her chin like a proud little peacock and flaunted proudly. 2
“I didn’t buy these. I brought them back from the Lang Jun Imperial Palace.”
Look how amazing she is!
Not only did she freeload at the Lang Jun Imperial Palace, but she also brought back so many good things. 1
She was simply a homemaker!
The butler was in disbelief. “Did Duke Lang give you all these things?”
Yu Niaoniao thought for a moment. She had taken these things back from the Lang Jun Imperial Palace. Everything in the Lang Prince’s Mansion belonged to him. It was equivalent to the Duke Lang giving them to her.
So she nodded righteously.
“That’s right!” 3
