The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 266: Flattering the Wrong Person

In the evening, after closing the shop door, they had dinner.

Gu Yunjiao usually sat next to Mrs. Chen.

When she entered the room this time, she noticed that Li had taken Mrs. Chen’s usual seat.

Mrs. Chen, being the elder, sat in the main seat facing the door.

After Li came yesterday, Mrs. Chen gave up the main seat to her and sat beside it herself.

Li sat back down, pretending to be considerate at first glance.

But now, Gu Yunjiao found herself sitting next to Li.

Gu Yunjiao silently sat down to eat.

She had just picked up her chopsticks to get some dishes when she saw Li quickly use the communal chopsticks to put a chicken wing in Gu Yunjiao’s bowl.

Then she looked at Gu Yunjiao with a somewhat ingratiating expression.

Gu Yunjiao stared at the chicken wing in her bowl, looking at it blankly for a while.

At this point, Sanya blinked and looked at Li in confusion, "Aunt, elder sister-in-law doesn’t eat anything with skin, even chicken skin she doesn’t eat, how could she eat a chicken wing?"

"Aunt, don’t you know?"

Li felt extremely awkward upon hearing this, as she was trying to please Gu Yunjiao but ended up making an awkward mistake.

Mrs. Chen glanced at Li, not quite understanding. As a mother who raised her daughter for over a decade, eating at the same table every day, how could she not know what her daughter likes or dislikes to eat?

After her embarrassment, Li felt aggrieved. She lowered her head and tried hard to purse her lips to avoid crying.

Gu Yunjiao sighed, stood up, and put the chicken wing into Gu Chuan’s bowl.

Li finished her meal sullenly and then got up to walk outside.

Gu Yunjiao watched her back, contemplating.

No matter how you put it, today was the first time Li actually took the initiative to serve food, so Gu Yunjiao couldn’t discourage her enthusiasm and needed to encourage her properly.

Even if her motivation might not be out of maternal love, it’s still her effort to try.

Gu Yunjiao followed Li into her room and, after doing some mental preparation, finally said, "Thank you for serving me food today."

Li, sitting by the bed, looked up at her.

She sensitively perceived that Gu Yunjiao didn’t call her ’mother’.

Gu Yunjiao continued, "From now on, during meals, why don’t you sit beside Xiao Chuan and serve him food?"

"Xiao Chuan likes chicken wings and drumsticks, he likes fish but doesn’t know how to pick out the bones, and he doesn’t eat garlic or cilantro."

She paused, "Compared to me, Xiao Chuan needs more maternal care."

After Gu Yunjiao finished speaking, she left, and Li silently cried covering her face.

She thought carefully, ever since she came here, in these past two days, Gu Yunjiao had given her good food and accommodation, but had never once called her ’mother’.

No, it seems she hasn’t called her ’mother’ since she got married.

Why is it like this?

The next day, people from Prince Mansion came to take Gu Yunjiao’s drawings.

Meanwhile, in a large mansion in Xiang City, a woman dressed in red was listening carefully to the servant’s report.

"Reporting to Miss, I went and inquired around Renxin Hall. That pharmacy was set up by Mr. Jiang’s elder sister-in-law, and now Mr. Jiang’s entire family lives in the courtyard behind the pharmacy."

"And also, I heard someone saying that Mr. Jiang’s elder brother is no longer around, and now all the family matters are managed by this sister-in-law."

Qin Yan waved her hand after listening, and the servant withdrew.

The maid Liu Er leaned in, "Miss, although they run a pharmacy, they’re just an ordinary family, nothing compared to us."

She glanced at Qin Yan, "Besides, the people who went to inquire at the academy earlier came back saying that Mr. Jiang was only at a B level there; it might not be easy for him in future exams either."
