By Shen KuanKuan

The top chef, Mei Jing, opened his eyes to discover that he had crossed over.

When he looked again, it was a good fellow! She was forced to marry an old man and Steamed Bun Dad were hiding at the side laughing?She had the heart of a buddha, the body of a wicked blood relative, the family of a Taoist uncle and aunt, as well as all the advantages of an uncle and aunt!

Facing a shabby thatched cottage that was still surrounded by a pack of wolves, Mei Jingtian looked up to the sky and picked up his food. He set up his stall, cooked, opened his restaurant, and brewed wine! The gold and silver that were rolling everywhere came in waves. The trouble of top-grade relatives also came one after another.

Mei Jing rolled up his sleeves as he took his mother to the peak of life.

As soon as the clinker changes, the matchmaker tramples on the door, and the letter of engagement is like a snowflake.

HOUSE

CHAPTER 401 - UNCONDITIONAL TRUST

Ning Chongtian was not a good person to begin with.

It was all thanks to the support of Soong Liangchen and Ning Dan who had the right to sit on the throne.

But now his right hand was about to fall out with a woman.

This...

The imperial concubine walked into the throne room and asked Ning Chongtian about the reason for his anxiety. She then said with a smile, Your majesty, why are you worried? Why don't we take a good look at this young miss of the Chiang Family? Rather than controlling them, who are like tigers deep in the mountains, it would be safer to hold Miss Chiang Family in one's hands …

After Ning Chongtian heard this, he was enlightened and clapped his hands in praise.

At this moment, Chiang Zhixuan was immersed in a mixture of sorrow and joy.

He didn't know that he had been caught in the crossfire …

When Soong Liangchen returned to General Mansion, he did not see Mei Jing. Furthermore, he heard the whole story from Qiu Shi, so he naturally knew where Mei Jing was.

So without even thinking about it, he directly rushed towards the Chiang Family and snuck into the Wutong Courtyard.

The guards arranged by Madame Fuu and Chiang Caisheng were simply a side dish in front of Soong Liangchen, who had great martial arts skills.

Soong Liangchen only made a little move and knocked her out, then he kidnapped the sleeping Mei Jing.

Mei Jing was sleeping soundly, and the tip of her nose was filled with a familiar smell. She rubbed her chest, which was as hard as steel, and changed into a different position before going back to sleep.

Soong Liangchen doted on her enough and she didn't want to wake up, so he just held her and sat on the roof. He used his inner force to keep the cold wind out of Mei Jing's body and put her in the warmest environment.

Time slowly passed. Soong Liangchen looked at the girl's delicate face and made a decision in his heart.

Girl! I won't let Ning Dan's evil hands touch you!

When Mei Jing woke up, she opened her eyes and met Soong Liangchen's eyes that were as deep as black gems.

I knew you'd come looking for me.

The complete and unconditional trust Soong Liangchen had made him full of power.

He raised his rough and rough hands and ruffled Mei Jing's jet-black hair. Only after her hair had been messed up did he reply hoarsely, The Chiang Family people aren't making things difficult for you, are they?

Mei Jing shook her head like a rattle drum, No! The reason they called me back was to display their shamelessness. They had the heart and the guts to do so. All I want is to get the notorious Chiang Zhixuan back on the right track and marry you. I have no choice but to agree to it, Soong Liangchen … You won't be angry, right …

The girl's weak voice sounded a little more cautious, and she looked very cute.

Soong Liangchen's heart skipped a beat as his Adam's apple rolled up and down. He said in a deep and hoarse voice, If I get angry, what will you do?

Mei Jing rolled her eyes and drew her body closer to Soong Liangchen as she kissed his lips, Am I satisfied with what I've done?

Not too bad. Soong Liangchen felt as if he was floating, But what did you mean when you said you wanted Chiang Zhixuan to get back on track and marry me?

At the mention of this, Mei Jing felt angry all over. She immediately muttered the whole story, then looked up at Soong Liangchen and said with jealousy: When the time comes, you can't marry Chiang Zhixuan, even if the imperial decree is to suppress it. You understand?

Soong Liangchen only came back to his senses after a while. His pretty lips curled up as he nodded. Got it …

For some reason, when Mei Jing saw his fake smile, she felt chills run down her spine. Could it be that this fellow had some evil idea?

She thought for a moment. Who cares about him? Whatever bad idea Soong Liangchen had, it wouldn't harm her, so why bother so much!

Mei Jing threw herself into Soong Liangchen's arms, trying to use the warmth as an excuse. However, she found that there was no coldness around Soong Liangchen, causing her to blush.

CHAPTER 402 - SAY A GOOD WORD

However, Soong Liangchen didn't care. Since it was Little Mei Jing who came to the door, he naturally pulled her into his arms and refused to let go.

Only when the sky turned white did Soong Liangchen reluctantly let go of Mei Jing, and said, Girl, go back to your Chiang Family and wait for a while. When I send Qiu Shi back later, how about it?

Why? Mei Jing did not want to see the hypocritical faces of those people from Chiang Family from the start.

Soong Liangchen patted her head and said, Okay, I will let you suffer for a while! I will make it up to you when the time comes. I have something I need to do …"

Mei Jing frowned, not knowing what Soong Liangchen wanted to hide from her.

But she wasn't the type to pester others for no reason. She nodded, gave Soong Liangchen a kiss on the cheek, and got him to send her back to Chiang Family.

Looking at the man's back, Mei Jing was a little worried. Soong Liangchen wouldn't be going to do something illegal, right?

At that moment, Chiang Zhixuan's voice could be heard.

I knew you wild girl! Hmph, let me catch you!

Mei Jing regained her senses and turned around to look at Chiang Zhixuan walking in by herself with her hands on her hips. So? I did indeed leave the Chiang Family last night.

Seeing her attitude, Chiang Zhixuan was so angry that her face twisted, Do you really think you are still the lucky guy that wants to marry General Chen? If I want to pinch you to death, it's even easier than crushing an ant to death!

Oh. Mei Jing replied indifferently.

He turned around and ignored the furious Chiang Zhixuan as he walked back into the house.

She didn't sleep much with Soong Liangchen last night, and now that it was already dawn, she was indeed sleepy.

You dare to look down on me?

It's fine if you say it, I have nothing else to say.

Mei Jing walked into the room and snuggled under the cold blanket.

Before she could close her eyes, Chiang Zhixuan grabbed the blanket and threw it on the ground.

A few black footprints appeared on Mei Jing's pink and blue blanket.

Looking at the young girl being complacent like a triumphant rooster, she felt childish.

Helpless, Mei Jing couldn't sleep anymore, so she sat down at the table, tilted her head, and looked into Chiang Zhixuan's eyes.

Speak, what are you trying to do? If you had come to see my miserable state, it would have been a great disappointment. Mei Jing yawned, If you have something to say, let me be more open with you. Otherwise, if you dare to kill me, I will go out and yell at you to push Miss Bai into the lake!"

You …

Chiang Zhixuan, who had something in her hand, was instantly infuriated.

However, when she thought about Madame Fuu's request, she calmly sat opposite Mei Jing and said in a warm voice, Big sister, I don't want to fuss over the past matters with you. Right now, I only have one thing I want to ask of you.

What is it? Mei Jing's expression was stern.

Chiang Zhixuan thought for a while before saying, Help me say a few good words in front of Madame Zhousheng! She is General Chen's aunt, I will have to deal with her often in the future …

She considered it carefully. After she passed through the door, there was a high chance that Soong Liangchen would leave the capital with his men. At that time, she definitely wouldn't go to the border to suffer with that boorish man. But if he stayed in the capital, it would be impractical for him to hold up his General Mansion by himself, and he would also need Madame Zhousheng's help.

Before Chiang Zhixuan's dream could be completed, Mei Jing interrupted her, You stripped naked at the night banquet and lost so many people. You still want Madame Zhousheng to accept you? What are you thinking about!

You! Don't mention this, it's all because of you …"

Hey! Lu Dongbin's dog bite play is pretty fun. If I didn't exchange that cup of tea, wouldn't I be the one to be embarrassed? Mei Jing looked at her with interest as she started to talk in an unfriendly manner, Rather than arguing with me here, why don't you think about how you can stop the painting in the hands of those sour scholars? Maybe they even drew that mole on your shoulder!"

Ah! Mei Jing, you deserve to die — let me ask you one last time, are you going to help me or not!

Mei Jing looked at Chiang Zhixuan's crazy appearance and thought for a while before slowly nodding, It's not impossible for me to help you speak up in front of Madame Zhousheng. I have a condition!

CHAPTER 403 - SUCH A DEEP GRUDGE

Hearing that Mei Jing still dared to negotiate with him, Chiang Zhixuan was furious!

However, his lifeline was in Mei Jing's hand, so what if she didn't agree?

After a long while, Chiang Zhixuan nodded her head heavily.

Mei Jing smiled in satisfaction, You also know that I have a fried chicken stall in the capital that needs to be taken care of, so staying in the Chiang Family is not a big deal. I'll go find Madame Zhousheng to help you speak up, go find your parents, get them to come in contact with the people guarding me, and let me in and out.

Impossible, what if you run! Chiang Zhixuan rejected him without a second thought.

I'm not familiar with this place in the capital, and only go to General Mansion. If I didn't marry into General Mansion, where else could I have run to? In the past few days, I have been getting along quite well with the elders of General Mansion. I can even speak up for you in front of those people and let you marry them so that you can take care of them. Mei Jing's method of deceiving others was learned from Soong Liangchen. He didn't dare to say it on the side, as it was more than enough to trick a brainless Chiang Zhixuan!

Chiang Zhixuan fought internally and quickly let her guard down.

Sure enough, once Chiang Zhixuan goes into action, she can do it just by acting like a spoiled child.

The next day, Mei Jing obtained her own personal freedom.

Although Soong Liangchen told her to stay in Chiang Family, that didn't stop her from going out to shop.

After gaining her freedom, Mei Jing was the first to go to the fried chicken stall to look for Qiu Shi.

The moment Qiu Shi saw Mei Jing, she immediately shouted with tears in her eyes, causing the customers at the fried chicken stall to raise their eyebrows. They wanted to see what kind of show this would play out.

Qiu Shi, I'm fine. Although Chiang Family hates me, they don't dare to be harsh on me. After all, I still have something in my hands!

Seeing that Mei Jing's mental state was indeed not bad and she did not have any traces of being abused, Qiu Shi was finally relieved. She muttered to herself in self-blame, I shouldn't have let young miss go to Chiang Family that day, otherwise you wouldn't have … Ai, thousands of mistakes are all your servant's fault …"

Alright! It's fine. How's the business of the fried chicken stall these two days? Mei Jing comforted Qiu Shi and then switched the topic back to business.

The business of the fried chicken stall is quite good. However, yesterday, the Flower Peacock and the Black Crow that stole our fried chicken sat here for a whole day and ate quite a few chickens. When Qiu Shi thought of the scene from yesterday, she felt goosebumps rising all over her body.

Gongsun Ning and Zhou Yuxiao were both slim and elegant young masters, but their appetite was even bigger than any strong men she had ever seen! It was truly terrifying!

However, her resentment towards Zhou Yuxiao and Gongsun Ning was also very deep.

Mei Jing's first reaction was, Zhou Yuxiao is here? Have you paid me?

Qiu Shi choked and was about to answer.

At this moment, a melodious and melodious voice came from the side.

Yo! Isn't this Boss Mei from the fried chicken stall? I didn't see you yesterday, I didn't expect to see Boss Mei when I went out for a stroll today.

Hearing this person's voice, Mei Jing didn't even need to look to know who it was.

Curling his lips, he sarcastically said without turning his head, Yo! Wasn't this the State Duke Mansion Junior Marquis who flipped over a wall in the middle of the night to steal a fried chicken and still didn't have the money to give it in the end? How come he didn't even pay when he ate the chicken yesterday, and instead came to deliver the goods today to repay the debt? Tsk tsk, if the young duke Zhou continues like this, my fried chicken stall will become a selling place for jade and treasures! "

Hearing Mei Jing's rude words, Zhou Yuxiao was instantly enraged.

Little girl, can you be a bit more courteous?! At any rate, she's still my cousin …

Mei Jing took a deep breath and looked back at him with a coquettish smile. I'm asking you very politely if you won't pay your debt again!

CHAPTER 404 - MARQUIS AO JIAO

Zhou Yuxiao twitched his mouth. Looking at Mei Jing's smile, he knew she was making trouble for him.

Helpless, he curled his lips and said, Girl, you have a sharp tongue, yet you know how to bully others!

Gongsun Ning glanced at his good brother and then cupped his fist towards Mei Jing, Lady Mei, today we're not here to cause trouble. It's Flower Peacock who knows his cousin is doing business and insisted on coming here to look after you. His mouth is venomous, but his heart is not bad.

Who is it!? Who was there to take care of her business? Chi! Stop joking around! " Zhou Yuxiao said stubbornly, but Gongsun Ning had no choice but to laugh.

Mei Jing knew Zhou Yuxiao was a good friend of hers, and she was also very close to Soong Liangchen. Every time he appeared, she would have to dig up old debts to tease him. But after hearing what Gongsun Ning said, Mei Jing was relieved. She took out the jade thumb ring that she always carried with her and placed it in front of Zhou Yuxiao.

Here! I'll return it to you! "

Zhou Yuxiao was surprised for a moment, and said in surprise, You evil merchant, you are willing to return the thing to me? I haven't paid you back for the last few chickens! In fact, he subconsciously didn't want to return the money. He always wanted to argue with Mei Jing to the end so that they could have a conversation.

Of course, his original intention was simple. He only wanted to look after Mei Jing for his cousin.

When Mei Jing saw him ask that, she became so angry that she made a gesture, I was afraid you'd cry! This jade thumb ring is so important to you. Even I'm worried that you would come and cry in front of me when the time comes … Ai, you already said that I'm your cousin. Is it too much for your cousin to treat you to a few fried chicken? Since you're here to eat fried chicken, then sit down. I'll personally fry it for you!

At this point, Mei Jing was also willing to turn the tables around and forget about Zhou Yuxiao stealing food from the other side of the wall.

Gongsun Ning burst out laughing, extremely disloyal.

He nudged Zhou Yuxiao with his elbow, and it was clear that he was holding back his laughter, Lady Mei, let's just sit down. Didn't you want to eat fried chicken? Hahaha!"

Who … Who wants to eat fried chicken!? Nonsense! Zhou Yuxiao muttered and didn't say anything for a long time, but he still sat down obediently.

Seeing the two of them playing around, Mei Jing secretly smiled in her heart. She quickly took Qiu Shi's place and stood in front of the frying pan to start frying the chicken. Looking at the heavy snow that was slowly falling from the sky, she could not help but feel a bit more resentful. It seemed that it was time to rent a shop.

Otherwise, when the snow flew into the oil pan, not to mention whether it was clean or not, just when it turned into water and exploded, it could scald people into several bags. Mei Jing blowed and got her hands on the oil. If Soong Liangchen saw this, he would probably blame her for it.

It was very cold today, and Mei Jing had fulfilled her duty as a cousin.

After she fried chicken and willow, she personally went to the market to buy some ingredients.

He didn't want to do anything else, so he first used ginger as the main ingredient and then stir-fried a pot of pig lung soup.

This Swine Lung Soup had a very good effect on dispelling cold and stopping cough. Just now, she saw that Zhou Yuxiao was coughing a little, so she drank this and it was just right.

As for dinner, Zhou Yuxiao and Gongsun Ning also refused to leave and ate at Mei Jing's stall.

Because of this, when Soong Liangchen took off his mask and came to 'visit' his business, he even made Zhou Yuxiao praise Soong Liangchen for his physique and figure, which was quite similar to General Chen. It was also because of this day that Mei Jing had faintly grasped the secret on Soong Liangchen's body. Perhaps … Not even Zhou Yuxiao, his cousin, knew the true face of Soong Liangchen?

Mei Jing looked at Soong Liangchen, who was calmly eating his supper. She suppressed the astonishment in her heart.

Who cares! Soong Liangchen was hers!

She was willing to shoulder any secrets with Soong Liangchen!

CHAPTER 405 - SUMMONING

Time flew. With a blink of an eye, it changed to the 27th day of the winter month. Today was the Winter Solstice, and the entire capital was bustling with noise and excitement. Mei Jing had also gotten up early that day, and quietly went to General Mansion to wrap dumplings with Nanny Jiu to survive the winter solstice. Recently, Chiang Zhixuan had also been keeping an eye on Mei Jing. However, Mei Jing had not come into contact with General Mansion for a few days, so she was rather close with the Young Marquis, Zhou Yuxiao, and the others.

He didn't know if this girl was pretending or not. Every day, she would visit that crappy stall. She wasn't afraid of being chilled to death! Chiang Zhixuan thought in such a vicious manner, but when Mei Jing went out, she thought for a moment and decided to follow along. She had been monitoring them for seven to eight days, so she didn't need to wait that long.

When she marries General Chen in a few more days, she will be able to sleep until the end of the day. There is no need to be on guard against that slut Mei Jing fighting with her for a man!

On the day of the Winter Solstice, they were supposed to go back to the Fu Family to spend the winter solstice with their grandparents, but when Chiang Zhixuan wanted to follow Mei Jing, she let Chiang Caisheng and Madame Fuu go first. But before the whole family had even left their homes, the palace's imperial eunuchs had arrived first. It was more or less to summon Miss Chiang Family to the palace for an audience.

Chiang Zhixuan was stupefied, then she went wild with joy.

Chiang Caisheng and Madame Fuu were even more surprised.

One had to know that an ordinary girl couldn't enter the palace as a saint; this was a special honor.

Chiang Caisheng immediately said, Zhixuan! Hurry up and kneel down to express your gratitude?

Chiang Zhixuan was half forced to kneel on the ground, her voice trembling. This humble girl obeys the decree …

The eunuch glanced at her, his gaze searching for something.

He took Chiang Caisheng's red packet and returned to the palace.

The news that Chiang Zhixuan was about to enter the palace had caused a huge mess in the Chiang Family.

Especially the Madame Fuu, they tidied up and searched for good clothes, fighting for Chiang Zhixuan to enter the palace.

However, Chiang Zhixuan refused, her mind finally clear. Mother, it's better if I wear clean clothes. There's no need for me to dress too extravagantly when entering the palace.

Why? A woman's appearance alone was enough to attract people. Even ordinary guests would have to wear a bit better, not to mention this time, she was going to enter the palace and become a saint.

Chiang Zhixuan shook her head. Mom, you don't understand. If I wear gold and silver, won't I be wasting my time and causing trouble for our family? Besides, if I dress up too nicely, if it has the effect of suppressing the nobles by the side of the emperor, wouldn't I be seeking death? Wind on the head has always been the world's most hurtful weapon …

She was quite confident in her looks.

Chiang Caisheng nodded, he had a sense of pride in having just grown up.

This girl had been through a lot and finally understood.

We'll do as you say. It's better for you to enter the palace quickly, in case the emperor gets anxious from waiting. Your mother and I will return to the Fu family first. After you leave the palace, just go straight to the Fu family.
