Chapter 1492 - 1487: Getting Closer to the Target
Mu Shuangshuang took the initiative to speak with the Protector who managed all the staff in the main hall.
The Protector was immediately puzzled by her words.
"You can do it?"
"Of course, you can’t judge a book by its cover, just as you can’t measure the sea with a bushel! You may see me as just a little girl, but in reality, I know just as much as those old folks!"
Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Alright, I’ll report this for you, but you better have some skill. Our City Lord has a bad temper and shows a good face only to my Lady wife!"
"Thank you, brother!" Mu Shuangshuang politely smiled at the man.
The Protector waved his hand, "Don’t thank me. It’s good if you can actually do it!"
The Protector left the main hall and after a while, returned with an older middle-aged man in his fifties, and came to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Housekeeper Zou, it’s this girl who said it!"
The Protector pointed at Mu Shuangshuang and said.
The Housekeeper with the surname Zou looked Mu Shuangshuang up and down a few times.
Finally, he said: "Follow me! I’ll take you to see the City Lord!"
Mu Shuangshuang saw Ye Tianfan in another parlor. The man was just in his early thirties and carried an impressive aura.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, he didn’t ask much, but his lack of questions didn’t mean Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to explain.
"City Lord, it is like this. When I said that, I meant I know what to eat that can increase your Lady’s milk production!
It’s similar to using medicinal cuisine to heal diseases, but what I offer has no medicine, as medicines are partially toxic, and I suppose you don’t want your Lady, just after childbirth, to eat those toxic things!"
As Mu Shuangshuang was speaking, she kept observing Ye Fantian’s expression.
From the moment she began to speak until she finished, Ye Fantian’s expression changed.
Which means, Ye Fantian cared about what she was saying.
No one wants their wife to use painful methods to stimulate milk.
If it’s just like Mu Shuangshuang said, eating a meal could solve the problem, he would definitely choose Mu Shuangshuang.
"Alright, it’s you then! Starting tonight, you’re responsible for my Lady’s diet, but before any dish reaches her mouth, you must taste it first, can you?"
"..."
Mu Shuangshuang was dumbfounded, testing with a silver needle was fine, but tasting it herself?
So much collagen-filled food, does he want her to just get fat?"
Seeing her hesitation, Ye Fantian’s hand clenched into a fist, ready to strike her when Mu Shuangshuang suddenly said: "It’s not that I’m unwilling to eat, it’s just that those things, for a girl like me who hasn’t given birth, eating too much isn’t good!"
"..."
Ye Fantian, for the first time, felt both like crying and laughing. He quickly withdrew his hand and had the housekeeper take Mu Shuangshuang away.
Though it was said that she would start cooking at night, Mu Shuangshuang began preparing early in the morning.
Pig’s feet and soybeans were a must.
They are the best milk increasers, along with carp soup and pigeon soup. With all these, she didn’t believe the City Lord’s wife wouldn’t be effective!
Mu Shuangshuang spent an entire day in the kitchen, and by dusk, when dinner time came, a pot of premium pig’s feet soup was ready.
In front of everyone, Mu Shuangshuang took a sip before the soup was taken to the City Lord’s wife.
When the servants of the City Lord Mansion informed her that the Lady had drunk the soup and found it delicious, she requested to go back.
Mu Shuangshuang had already told the housekeeper in the morning that she wouldn’t be staying at the City Lord Mansion for now but would return every early morning.
The housekeeper asked the City Lord, and he consented.
But he also privately assigned people to follow Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang had long known this would happen, so she had Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen prepared.
Her place for the night was an ordinary farmhouse.
The owner of the courtyard had just gone to the Capital City and would not return for two months.
Forget two months, in half a month, she would have left this ghostly place!
Thus, Ye Tianfan’s men only knew where Mu Shuangshuang was staying, but everything else was unknown to them.
Mu Shuangshuang went back to the City Lord Mansion early the next morning and was informed by the housekeeper that the City Lord’s wife had a positive effect from what she prepared.
"Little girl, you’re in luck, the City Lord has said you can stay!"
Housekeeper Zou said in front of all the servants to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Thank you, Housekeeper Zou!" Mu Shuangshuang thanked Housekeeper Zou.
The old man was in a good mood, after all, a problem that had troubled his master for so long had been solved at once.
Moreover, in the long run, this girl’s dietary therapy method will only get better and better.
After becoming an official servant of the City Lord Mansion, Mu Shuangshuang was informed of a pile of prohibitions.
The City Lord’s study was off-limits, the City Lord’s wife’s room was off-limits, and then, don’t ask questions about matters you shouldn’t.
Mu Shuangshuang immediately thought the city defense map must be either in the study or the City Lord’s wife’s room!
Both places were tricky to access!
And she didn’t spend the night in that house either!
Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt she was too clever for her good.
If she had said she had nowhere to stay yesterday, she could have logically stayed the day and night.
This way, she could sneak around to gather information at night.
Just as she thought so, Housekeeper Zou spoke again, "Right, the City Lord said, since you’re the Lady’s cook, you shouldn’t be staying outside.
Never mind anything else, right now, the Da Wei and the opposing Ning Dynasty are about to go to war. If you stay outside and something happens, what will you do?"
"Ah, war... going to war? Wasn’t it said that there would be no war for ten years? What about my parents in the countryside?"
Mu Shuangshuang deliberately acted flustered.
Whether it was because he was in a good mood or felt pity for Mu Shuangshuang, the housekeeper said proactively, "You may as well ignore that agreement!
Who doesn’t know, our City Lord is equivalent to the opposing general! Besides, in these years, our Da Wei has gained strength. Since the ceasefire agreement, we’ve been intensifying military drills.
The Ning Dynasty people aren’t our match!" The housekeeper spoke with some arrogance.
But there was some truth in it.
After the ceasefire agreement, although Da Ning has been sending troops and grain to Xing City every year, compared to Da Wei, it’s still insufficient.
Moreover, the Emperor of the Da Ning Dynasty has been busy nurturing and recuperating over the years, and hasn’t paid attention to military warfare.
Fighting is losing, and not fighting is also losing!
Additionally, this Wen Nantian is stubborn and self-willed, with talent but lacking a general’s ambition.
Da Ning indeed appears to be in jeopardy!
"With Housekeeper Zou’s assurance, I’m relieved. If the war really starts tomorrow, I’ll tell my parents not to worry!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Alright, go ahead and work. Whatever you need, tell the kitchen steward! If he can’t manage, come to me.
Anyway, your status right now is quite special, don’t let yourself be mistreated!" said Housekeeper Zou.
