Lu Jingyan looked at the retreating back of Leng Meixuan and she sighed. She looked at Xuanmo, he also looked at her like he understands what she was saying and he only nod in response
"Sister in law. What were you doing in the kitchen in the first place" Leng Yumo asked
"I was just trying to help in the kitchen"
"The kitchen is for the maids not a place for a Leng" madam Leng said
"For a Leng? As if she is bearing the Leng' family name" Ning Ruomo said
"Leng family name? Lu Jingyan is a family. My wife and I would not tolerate anyone saying she isn't a Leng" Leng Xuanmo said
"Xuanmo. What kind of poison did this girl feed you? Are you sure you aren't under some kind of spell?" Ning Ruomo asked
"Eiya, Mother. Can you stop saying all of this? Every time you want to say something about sister in law all you know how to say did she use some kind of spell?" Leng Yumo asked
"I heard Grandpa didn't accept you either. Did you some kind of spell to marry Father?" Leng Yumo asked
"Leng Yumo" Ning Ruomo called
"Jingyan. The Lengs aren't meant for the kitchen. The Lengs carry power and power we give. Not to be In the kitchen and do some odd jobs" madam Leng said
"I don't think working in the kitchen is a stain to the Leng' family name" Lu Jingyan said
"In what way?" Madam Leng asked
"If a Leng is out there working. They need food to replenish energy" Lu Jingyan said
"That why we got maids dummy" Ning Ruomo said
"I know, but me waking up and doing nothing in this house feels like me freelancing" Lu Jingyan said
"At least you are aware of that" Ning Ruomo said earning a glare from madam Leng
"You aren't freelancing, Jingyan" madam Leng said
"Everyone has a role to play. Grandma you carry the weight of the family. Xuanmo works his butt off to make sure the family never lack in anything. Yumo has to appear nicely and make sure no scandal can be found. And both I and Xinyan did nothing. Working in the kitchen isn't that bad" Lu Jingyan explained
Madam Leng looked at Lu Jingyan like she had two heads. At that she moment she can't deny she saw her younger self in Lu Jingyan when she married Into the Lengs family decades ago and she remembered what great length she went through to get to the position she is right now. She felt proud of this young lady and it's a pity her family is going through a lot not like this daughter in law of hers
"Jingyan you are right. I now give you the permission to oversee everything going on in the kitchen. No mistakes done" madam Leng said.
Lu Jingyan smiled happily. Finally, she can do something she can do something for the family and no one can stop her although it's not much she is contented
"Mother. You should be careful that this vixen would poison our foods one day" Ning Ruomo said
"Before you start I want you to know everything about everyone. What they liked to eat and not eat" madam Leng said
"Am allergic to butter" Leng Yumo was the first to say
"Butter. Got it" Lu Jingyan said already trying to search for butter free dishes in her head
"What of you?" Lu Jingyan asked Xuanmo
"Avocado" he said
"Avocado" she repeated and "same allergy as my father" she said remembering her father and she instantly grew sad and annoyed the person who made her family like this
