Chapter 189 No Love
Lou always ate light food, and the food that Song Qingci sent today smelled a domineering fragrance to her.
She was a little hesitant to take the bait.
Xia He advised, "Madam, why don't you try this tomato flavor. It smells sour and should be tasty."
"Then... let's give it a try?" Lou was also curious.
Both the taste and the way of eating were something she had never seen before.
In the circle of noble ladies, there are also particularities about food. The taste is secondary; the most important thing is that it must be elegant.
The ingredients should be elegant, the cooking should be elegant, and the presentation should also be elegant.
This kind of food with soup and bones is not on the menu at all.
From childhood to the present, Lou has been living according to this standard.
It was only in recent years that she had no intention of participating in the social activities of the other family members, which led her to live a more relaxed life.
However, when such a pot of soup was served to her, it was a big shock to her.
Xia He took out some of the mutton and cabbage from the tomato pot, and also took out the bean sprouts.
Lou tried to eat a little, and it tasted so good that her eyes narrowed.
"Xia He! This tomato tastes so good! You should try it too!" Lou said, wanting to share some with Xia He, but Xia He refused.
How could she eat something that her master was still eating?
"Madam, you eat first. It won't be too late to give the rest to me later." Xia He served Lou very politely.
"Okay, this is delicious, I'll save some for you." Lou didn't force it, she pointed at the tofu and said to Xia He.
Tofu has always been a bland dish, and she never thought that one day she would be able to eat such delicious tofu.
"Thank you for the reward, Madam." Xia He smiled and continued to serve the dishes to Lou.
Just as Lou was eating with gusto, Shan Xi's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Mom! You actually ate delicious food behind my back!"
Shan Xi's voice was so loud that all the servants in the yard heard it.
A few little maids even hid themselves secretly and covered their mouths with their hands to laugh.
When Mrs. Lou saw her daughter coming, she did not put down her chopsticks, but instead stuffed another piece of mutton into her mouth.
"Greetings, young lady." Xia He bowed to Shan Xifu, and then continued to serve the dishes to Lou.
"Mom! You are so heartless! You ate such delicious food and didn't even call me! Am I still your biological daughter?" Shan Xi sat directly opposite Lou, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and wanted to touch the food in the pot.
As a result, he was stopped by Lou!
"Mom!" Shan Xi looked at her mother in disbelief.
Are you so stingy?!
It would have been fine if I didn't send it to her, but even though she was already here, she actually stopped me and refused to let me have a single bite.
Is this still her biological mother? !
Lou met her gaze and said confidently, "It's not that I'm cruel and don't want to give you a bite to eat. This is what your sister-in-law said, you can't eat this."
The maid who brought the food specifically said that this food was not suitable for the eldest lady to eat, so she didn't send any food to the eldest lady.
None of the other young masters and young ladies sent any gifts either.
Lou understood what her daughter-in-law meant. She was afraid that it would be bad if she gave the things away without knowing it.
"What?! Did my sister-in-law say I can't eat it?!" Shan Xi came here following the smell.
Today she could always smell a very fragrant smell in the backyard, and she relied on the smell to find her mother.
It turned out to be something she couldn't eat.
What should I do? I feel so sad!
Doesn’t the sister-in-law love her anymore?
