On this day, the white housekeeper came back from outside in a hurry, running out of breath and sweating profusely, Xue'er just held a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, ready to send it to Chen Youyi, and met the white housekeeper halfway, and the two of them almost bumped into each other.

Fortunately, Xue'er reacted quickly, protected the lotus seed soup of the play, and looked at the white butler with a puzzled expression, "Butler, what are you doing so in such a hurry?" is a lot older, why does he still look like a child, and he can't hold his breath at all. ”

"Oh, something has happened to Miss Cher, I have to tell Madame quickly." didn't bother to talk too much to Xue'er, turned around and ran towards the hall, Xue'er shouted, "Madame is not over there, she is in the sincere study." ”

Hearing this, Butler Bai turned around and ran towards Mo Xincheng's study, and Xue'er also hurriedly followed, looking at Butler Bai's expression just now, something big must have happened.

When the white housekeeper saw Chen Youyi in the study, he gasped for breath, "Madame, it's not good, our quota has been cancelled......"

Chen Youyi was talking to Mo Xincheng about advancing the accounts, and also mentioned some business matters, wanting Mo Xincheng to worry more, but before he finished speaking, Butler Bai broke in and shouted such a sentence, which made Chen Youyi and Mo Xincheng stunned at the same time.

Fortunately, Chen Youyi was relatively calm, got up and said patiently, "Don't be in a hurry, butler, speak slowly." ”

"Madam, our quota for the cooking competition has been cancelled, I went to check it today, and found that our name was not in the third round of the competition."

Chen Youyi's face was shocked, and she couldn't help frowning, but she wasn't as anxious as Butler Bai, and said indifferently, "How could it be canceled?" After the second round, our names were announced, but at this time, there was no us, did you ask what the reason was? ”

"I asked, but those people refused to say, madam, I think there must be someone behind the trouble, otherwise, how could we suddenly be disqualified?" The white butler guessed.

At this time, Mo Xincheng also stepped forward and said, "Could it be another ghost from Yuefu?" Recently, they have been putting pressure on us, especially Lele, who is always looking for trouble for us, could it be that they are worried about ......"

As soon as the words came here, Mo Xincheng didn't continue, but glanced at the housekeeper next to him.

Chen Youyi's expression was solemn, but her mood was very calm, she slowly sat down on the seat just now, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly asked, "Butler, do you know which official is in charge of this competition?" ”

"I know, it's Ouyang Shuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

This person's name sounded a little familiar, Chen Youyi was not very familiar with this, so he asked again, "Then Ouyang Shuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which side does he prefer in the court?" ”

Steward Bai was a little embarrassed, frowning and not knowing how to answer, "This, I don't know, it's just that I heard that this Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the Ministry of Works, Li Tianyou, are more friends, and Mrs. knows Master Li, so you can ask him." ”

Hearing this, Chen Youyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it turned out to be someone Li Tianyou knew, so she had to ask Li Tianyou, "I know about this matter, you go down first to work on your own, and I will solve this matter." ”

After the housekeeper left, Mo Xincheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam, I think there is definitely something strange in this matter, maybe Lele bought off the officials in order to prevent you from entering the palace and asked them to remove our names." ”

Chen Youyi took a deep breath, a gloomy light flashed in her deep eyes, she gritted her teeth, and said with a cold snort, "This matter is definitely related to Lele, sincerely, you go to prepare the carriage, and by the way, buy some gifts, and we will go to Master Li's for a trip." ”

Mo Xincheng quickly prepared his things and took Chen Youyi to Li Tianyou's residence, but Li Tianyou was not at home, only Mrs. Li was at home and the two little maids were sitting in the courtyard enjoying the flowers and chatting.

I still remember the first time I saw Mrs. Li, her face was pale, her face was bloodless, and she didn't look energetic, but now Mrs. Li's body is much tougher, with a smile on her face, and her body is also a lot bloated.

It's just that when I saw Chen Youyi, as usual, I came forward directly and grabbed her hand, "You really haven't been here with me for a long time, why did you want to come over today?" Come and sit down, come and sit, but you think I'm broken, let me see you. ”

Although Mrs. Li rarely sees Chen Youyi on weekdays, she treats Chen Youyi as her own daughter, if it weren't for Chen Youyi, she and Li Tianyou probably wouldn't have come to this day, maybe they will still stay in that dark room, don't go out all day, and even end up depressed.

"Mrs. Li, how are you doing lately?"

"It's much better, look at me, I've gained a lot of weight, thanks to you, I often let people bring me delicious food." Mrs. Li said very politely, seeing Chen Youyi was happy in her heart, but when she saw the haggard look on her face, her brows couldn't help but screw together, she sent the maids around her down, and then pulled Chen Youyi to her side and asked, "Did you encounter anything difficult?" Tell me what has happened these days. ”

In fact, Mrs. Li also knows a little about Chen Youyi's affairs, there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and Chen Youyi's affairs will more or less reach her ears.

Chen Youyi smiled and pretended to be fine, "Don't worry, old lady, what can I do, as long as you take care of your body, it's more important than anything else." ”

The old lady also understood in her heart, knowing that Chen Youyi was unwilling to tell herself, not to mention, even if she did, she couldn't help others, so she asked, "Are you here to find Tianyou?" ”

"Is he at home?"

"I just went out, saying that there was something wrong, you wait here, and when I left, I told me that I would come back for lunch, and it just so happened that you came, and you also stayed here to eat, and I asked my family to cook something delicious for you."

Saying that, Mrs. Li stood up, called back the little girl who had just left, and asked the kitchen to cook more meals, Chen Youyi wanted to stop her, but the old lady didn't let her, she had to let her stay and eat, "Say anything today and eat here, let's go, I'll take you to the Lotus House to have a look!" ”

When it comes to the lotus, Chen Youyi suddenly remembered that Li Tianyou married a daughter-in-law, just added a son, and came here to eat full moon wine a few days ago, but the child has not seen it yet, "Since the old lady said so, then I won't leave today, I will accompany the old lady over there to have a look." ”

After that, Chen Youyi accompanied Mrs. Li to the lotus house, where she rested for a while, it was nothing more than what some women said, Lotus is more introverted, doesn't like to talk, people look quite honest, Chen Youyi also looked at her son, who looks very cute.

When they were chatting, Li Tianyou came back from outside, and Chen Youyi got up and left with the old lady.
