Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

This made the chef and all the staff in the kitchen unbelievable. What Xiao Yunyan brought out today included roasted whole lamb, roasted suckling pig, braised pork in a pot, beggar's chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, and four large pots of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Especially Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is a dish that takes a lot of effort to prepare, and the ingredients are also very varied and expensive. Even ordinary officials' families cannot afford it.

The chef couldn't believe it. Such a precious dish had to be shared with the servants in the palace?

The chef confirmed with Xiao Yunyan again, should these dishes also be distributed to the servants in the mansion?

Xiao Yunyan nodded and said, "That's right. All the dishes I brought out today will be shared by all the family members in the mansion. There is no need to divide them by rank. We can all set up a table and have a meal together.

Because today is August 13th, and the prince and I will spend August 15th in the palace. I cannot come to the Xiao Mansion tomorrow because of something else, so today is just to celebrate August 15th with the Xiao family in advance.

The whole family celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival together in advance."

The cooks had not expected that the young lady and her husband would be so generous. Since the master had given the order, they had no scruples.

In addition, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan also took out a lot of ready-cut pork heads, pork elbows, pig ears, braised beef, pork tenderloin sausages, and many vegetables that were only available in this space.

Xiao Yunyan and the children often sent various vegetables to the Xiao family kitchen, and the cooks all knew how to cook them.

There was no major dish that required much effort, and it didn't take long to prepare the rest of the dishes. All the kitchen staff started working enthusiastically again.

The maids and servants who were in charge of setting the table also informed everyone that they would have dinner together, and the dinner time was postponed by half an hour.

Xiao Yunyan ordered the kitchen to provide enough dishes for both the main table and the servants' tables today. Except for the servants and maids on duty at night, everyone else could drink some chrysanthemum wine, which was low in alcohol and not intoxicating.

After arranging the dinner at the Xiao Mansion, the couple quickly flew to the rigorous courtyard of a first-rank official, the current cabinet minister, which was not far from the Xiao Mansion.

Because it was dinner time for each mansion, they went directly to the restaurant in the main courtyard.

At this time, the Yan family was having dinner, with men and women sitting at separate tables. The atmosphere at the men's table was somewhat dull and serious.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan had already entered the space in the courtyard of Yan's mansion. They entered the restaurant from the space and walked in swaggeringly, but no one knew about it, so no one was on guard.

At this time, Lord Yan said to his sons and grandsons: "Recently, our secret forces have suffered great losses.

Zhang and Zhao, two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, have been arrested, and the gold they had recently hoarded has also been confiscated.

Mr. Li, his men, and the contact person who secretly transported weapons and supplies for us were all found out.

The news is so intense that I am afraid that someone has found some clues about our Yan family. Therefore, in order to prevent the government from finding more evidence, all members of our Yan family must act strictly and keep a low profile recently, and never do anything that will attract the attention of outsiders.

At the same time, you must cut off all contact with the contact person above."

Yan Xi, the eldest grandson of Lord Yan, is now also a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. He asked his grandfather in confusion: "Grandfather, we have written down everything you said.

But the higher-ups are pushing us so hard, if we suddenly stop everything, will we be punished? My grandson is very afraid of the methods used by those men in black.

Grandfather, you know that my grandson is already very weak. If I were to go through such a painful ordeal again, I'm afraid my grandson's life would be in jeopardy."

Of course, Lord Yan knew that those people were extremely cruel. If he had not been threatened with the lives of his entire family, how could he have been so foolish as to confront the government?

The emperor and empress are not in the court now. The emperor's grandsons in power are all immortals. The crown prince and the crown princess are even more powerful. If the Yan family uses their small power to fight against the emperor, isn't it like using an egg to knock against a stone?

However, the master behind the scenes was too crazy, forcing their family to become his subordinates, and the master wanted to secretly plot for power and usurp the throne. So the Yan family had to work hard to secretly send people and help.

Elder Yan wanted to tell Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan about this, but they were never in the court. Later, he also wanted to tell the emperor's grandchildren about this, but before he could act, his family was arrested.

The female members of the family were all fed poison and had to take the antidote once every half a month, otherwise they would die from the pain.

In addition to the four great-grandsons who were sent away, the other men in the Yan family were not only fed poison, but also poisoned with insects. Even if they wanted to resist, the insects would control them and obey their commands.

Yan Xi was originally a righteous man and did not want to get involved in such things. He even strongly advised his grandfather and father not to associate with the evil people behind the scenes. If the matter was exposed in the future, the Yan family would be destroyed.

But less than half a day after Yan Xi finished saying these words, he was tortured to death by the poisonous insects in his body.

The manipulator behind the scenes told Lord Yan that if they dared to reveal this matter to the emperor, their whole family would be killed on the spot before Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan could save them.

Such threats made Yan Ge Lao compromise. He did not dare to gamble with the lives of his family.

Elder Yan told his grandson that he had reported the current serious situation to his superiors. They were allowed to suspend their actions and retain their strength, so that their family would not be bitten by the poisonous insects.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan heard clearly what the men of the Yan family said. At the same time, they also used their telepathy to understand what the Yan family members were thinking.

Yan Ge Lao himself had no intention of seeking power and usurping the throne. However, he was afraid that his family would lose their lives, so he had to compromise.

Moreover, because he and his children had already boarded the pirate ship, they secretly had fantasies. Once the person behind the scenes succeeded in usurping power, their Yan family would definitely be rewarded and reused as they were a family of officials who had followed the dragon.

Therefore, as long as the Yan family acts cautiously and keeps a low profile and keeps secrets, no matter who becomes emperor, the Yan family will be invincible.

However, Lord Yan and his sons and grandsons also had a trick up their sleeve.

The Yan family now has four great-grandchildren, all under the age of five. These great-grandchildren have been sent out of the capital.

Now the four children are all far away from the capital, being cared for and educated by the loyal servants of the Yan family and people sent by their respective families.

Once the Yan family's deeds were exposed and they were wiped out, the four roots left behind and the inheritance left to the four great-grandchildren would be enough for the four children to live a prosperous life in anonymity.

When they grow up and rebuild their family in the local area, the Yan family will continue.

After Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan found out the Yan family's behavior and thoughts, they left the Yan family.

When they returned to the Xiao Mansion, the big kitchen was almost ready, except for the seafood that had not been steamed.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan came back, and the housekeeper happily ordered the dishes to be served immediately.

On the night of August 13, the Xiao family's house was brightly lit and filled with laughter.

The family sat around a sumptuous dining table to celebrate this reunion festival in advance. The table was filled with delicious food and wine, the aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.
