Chapter 739: Gossiping Behind The Scenes (1)

The former master’s greetings made the two of them smile and nod. They then approached him.

They took their seats one after another. The former master’s first question was, “How many months has it been?”

Zhao Youlin seemed to have expected the former master to ask this. She smiled and spoke truthfully, “It’s been three months. The doctor said that the child is very good and healthy.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” The former master’s gaze was fixed on Zhao Youlin’s stomach. His eyes flickered for a moment before he said in a low voice, “Take a rest first. Go to the kitchen to take a look. If there’s anything you like to eat, just tell the cook. This is also your home.”

In fact, before Zhao Youlin had arrived, the former master had already specifically warned the kitchen about her situation. However, Zhao Youlin’s current situation was quite special. He did not know what she could eat and what she could not eat… The best way was to let her go in and talk to the cook.

Zhao Youlin smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

The former master and Mu Tingfeng were men of very few words. Although he was very happy that Zhao Youlin had brought Joy over, he didn’t show it on his face.

Zhao Youlin naturally knew this, so she didn’t care too much about the former master’s seemingly cold attitude. She knew how to read the faces of the Mu men, it was a warm welcome. She still smiled like a flower and maintained a gentle and patient attitude.

The few of them chatted for a while and mostly asked about Zhao Youlin and the child in her belly. Zhao Youlin did not hide anything from them and answered honestly.

After a while, the servants at the side looked at Zhao Youlin with the same surprise as the butler when he first saw Mu Tingfeng’s attitude towards Zhao Youlin. After the surprise, the servants looked at Zhao Youlin. The group of servants no longer dared to treat this young madam any more lightly.

Most of the people who could work in the main residence were the former master’s trusted aides who had been by his side for many years. The former master’s attitude towards Zhao Youlin was enough to show Zhao Youlin’s status in the Mu family.

After the three of them chatted for a while, the former master announced that he had something to say to Mu Tingfeng. He first brought Mu Tingfeng upstairs while Zhao Youlin brought Joy to the kitchen.

The former master had specifically told the kitchen staff that his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson were coming today and that his granddaughter-in-law was already pregnant. Therefore, for today and for the next few days… the dishes had to be based on their tastes.

As for Mu Tingfeng, he was of a lesser priority. The most important thing now was his precious grandson and his pregnant granddaughter-in-law.

The former master’s words had already fully demonstrated the importance he attached to his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson. Most of the people in the Mu family were shrewd people. How could they not understand how to treat these two people?

The Mu family’s intelligence system had always been advanced. The former master’s unusual attitude toward Zhao Youlin and Joy had spread to every corner of the Mu family the moment they entered the mansion.

When they saw Zhao Youlin and Joy enter the kitchen, almost all the people in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and carefully watched the two of them.

The person in charge of the kitchen did not know why Zhao Youlin had suddenly dropped by. He went up to her with a smile and probed, “Young Madam, you and Young Master Joy…”

Zhao Youlin knew that these were the most senior staff of the Mu family, so she did not dare to put on any airs. She smiled and said, “Joy and I just got off the plane and are a little hungry. We want to see if there are any ready-made snacks in the kitchen to fill our stomachs.”

As she said this, Zhao Youlin turned her head and glanced at the chefs in the kitchen, who were peeking at her from time to time. She smiled and said, “Don’t let use distract you. Don’t mind us.”

Zhao Youlin’s friendly attitude made everyone in the kitchen feel a little relieved. Their impression of this young madam, who only existed in rumors, also became a little more favorable.

When the person-in-charge heard Zhao Youlin’s words, he also heaved a sigh of relief. Wouldn’t it be easy to find something to eat? There was nothing in the kitchen except for food!

“Young madam, they are already preparing the food. It will probably be ready in a while. How about this? There’s a piece of pastry here that has just been prepared. You and Young Master Joy can make do with some to fill your stomachs first. It will be dinner soon. If you eat too much…”

Zhao Youlin lowered her head to look at her son, whose eyes sparkled when he heard about the pastry. She nodded and said, “Okay.”

The person-in-charge was also greatly relieved when he heard Zhao Youlin agree. God knows how nervous he was when he was proposing this. This was the precious treasure of the young master and the former master, the most important people in the Mu family right now. If he accidentally offended her, his days in the Mu family would be over.

The person-in-charge moved very quickly, and the pastry was quickly placed in front of Zhao Youlin and Joy.

Joy couldn’t wait to take a bite, and his big eyes immediately curved into two crescent moons in satisfaction.

Zhao Youlin looked at his satisfied and cute appearance and couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “Is it good?”

Joy hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes!”

Zhao Youlin then turned to look at the person-in-charge. “Who made this pastry?”

The person-in-charge was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head and shouted, “Alice, come here.”

Before he finished speaking, a girl about the same age as An Qi hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. She looked at Zhao Youlin and the others with a blank expression. “Young Madam, Young Master Joy…”

Zhao Youlin glanced at the girl and smiled. “Don’t be nervous. I just wanted to ask if you made this pastry?”

Alice nodded timidly. She didn’t understand why Zhao Youlin would suddenly ask this question.

After getting an affirmation, Zhao Youlin didn’t say anything. She turned to look at Joy. Joy immediately took a step forward and looked at Alice with admiration in his eyes. He said crisply, “Sister, you are so amazing. The pastry is so delicious. Thank you!”

Alice and everyone in the kitchen, including the person-in-charge, were shocked by Joy’s words, especially Alice.

The poor girl’s mind was filled with the thought… That the young master of the third generation just called me big sister? Young Master Joy actually called me big sister! Oh, my God, I must be dreaming!

In order to confirm whether she was dreaming or not, the girl twisted her arm hard. The sudden pain made her grimace, and she realized that she was not dreaming!

After confirming this, Alice was completely shocked.

As mentioned before, most girls loved cute, little things, and Alice was no exception.

Seeing Joy, such a cute child, staring at her with adoration and admiration, and using that soft voice to express his love for her and the things she had made, this sense of accomplishment was not to be underestimated.
