Early in the morning of the third day, Jiang Yuan took Lu Zhu out of the yard and walked towards the front yard. On the way, he met He Xiang. He Xiang immediately stood beside Lu De, lowered her head, and bowed.

Walking past her, Jiang Yuan glanced at her. Seeing that her face was still swollen, he raised the corner of his mouth calmly.

This time, Jiang Wan deliberately sat where she could see Jiang Yuan.

There were four plates of cakes and a pot of tea on the table.

She stared at him with resentment, as if she could eat Jiang Yuan alive in the next second.

Jiang Yuan's hands circled around the four plates again and again, but he didn't put them down.

She glanced at Jiang Wan who had been staring at her and couldn't help but smile.

Finally, she reached into the cloth bag that Luzhu was carrying, slowly took out an oil-paper bag from her arms, put it on the table, and opened it.

Inside was a bag of chestnut crisps, which I ate in small bites.

Jiang Wan's eyes almost popped out. She actually brought a bag of pastries with her?

She didn't even touch the fruit on the table.

Today is her last chance. If she fails, the prince will be really angry with her. Not to mention whether she can ruin Jiang Yuan, if the prince is disappointed in her and doubts her ability, the position of the prince's consort that she has obtained will be gone.

There was no choice but to grit her teeth and walk towards the pavilion.

When Luzhu saw Jiang Wan walking towards them, she felt panicked, thinking it was abnormal that her eldest daughter had not acted up in the past two days.

Today is the last day of the birthday party, and as expected, she is here to ridicule her daughter.

Luzhu was extremely anxious and whispered a few words to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Wan walked into the pavilion with a smile, "Sister, why are you here alone?"

Without waiting for Jiang Yuan to say anything, she had already sat down, looking at the cakes on the table, and said in a surprised tone, "Oh, why did my sister bring her own cakes? Is it because the cakes in the mansion are not to my sister's taste?

This pastry chef was invited from Xuanyang Marquis's Mansion. Could it be that my sister thinks the chef from Xuanyang Marquis's Mansion is not good enough?"

She deliberately spoke loudly, attracting the attention of several ladies not far away. One of them happened to be the third daughter of Xuanyang Marquis's Mansion, Cui Ru, who is now the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion.

When she heard that someone disliked the cook from her mother's family, her face suddenly changed and she became very unhappy.

So she brought her daughter and walked towards the pavilion, and the ladies who had been talking to her also followed her towards the pavilion.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, he said loudly, "My chef was taught by the royal chef in the palace.

If Lord Jiang hadn't come to the Marquis's Mansion in person and said that he didn't have a good pastry chef and was afraid of being impolite at the banquet, we would not have lent it.

What's the matter, the precious Second Miss Jiang, are you disgusted with her?"

Jiang Yuan was not annoyed. He placed the chestnut crisp in his hand on the plate, stood up and saluted, with a very sincere attitude, "Please forgive me, Madam. It's not that the pastry chef of the Marquis' Mansion is not good. The cloud cake and walnut crisp are both delicious.

It's just that they are so delicious. I ate a plate of Yunpian cake the day before yesterday and a plate of walnut cakes yesterday. I couldn't stop eating them and I felt a little overeating.

I wanted to eat chestnut crisps, but my father was allergic to chestnuts and no one in the mansion made them. I was really greedy, so I had to ask the maid to buy some from the street.

Really, I am sorry to make you all laugh."

After saying this, Jiang Yuan lowered her head in embarrassment, her face slightly reddened, looking like a shy little girl.

When the ladies heard that this was the reason, they didn't know what to say.

Especially the lady who came with Cui Ru, her little daughter beside her also chimed in, "It's really delicious. I also ate Yunpian cake yesterday, and I couldn't help but eat a few more pieces, and got scolded by my mother." As she spoke, she lowered her head, her little face also red, just like Jiang Yuan.

Cui Ru calmed down now. Thinking it was just a misunderstanding, she didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the matter was resolved like this, Jiang Wan was anxious and interrupted, "Yesterday the servant said that he saw my sister like to eat cloud cakes.

I thought since my sister thought it was delicious, I specially asked the servants to prepare some for her today, as well as some new jujube paste and walnut cakes. She should try some too."

Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Wan with a smile, then slowly raised his hand, picked up the stack of date and walnut cakes, and under Jiang Wan's gaze, handed them directly to the ladies.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Big sister is right. I didn't see the jujube paste and walnut cake the past two days. I should try it today. Since all the elders are here, why not try it together?

I am a junior, and since there are elders present, I should let them taste the food first."

As he said that, he handed the plate to Cui Ru first.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's ability to speak and act, Cui Ru's anger subsided. She raised her hand and said, "Let me tell you, my master's jujube and walnut cake is a must-try. You can't find it anywhere else in the capital."

Just as Cui Ru's hand was about to touch the pastries, Jiang Wan suddenly screamed, rushed over and knocked the plate over.

The plate and the pastries on it all rolled to the ground, accompanied by the crisp sound of the plate breaking.

Everyone in the pavilion was stunned, and even people far away heard it.

"Ms. Jiang, what are you doing?" Cui Ru asked angrily, standing up.

This was a plate that was held in front of her, and it was broken just like that. It was a slap in her face.

Jiang Wan realized that she had done something wrong and panicked. "I, I just saw a flying insect on the cake. I was frightened by the flying insect and bumped into the lady."

The girl who just agreed with Jiang Yuan said, "Flying insects? I didn't see any. My eyes were focused on the plate of cakes. I didn't even look away."

The little girl spoke bluntly, and her mother quickly pulled her. The little girl then realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and immediately pursed her lips.

When Aunt Qiu heard the noise and saw what was happening in the pavilion, she was shocked and hurried over. She said a lot of nice things and only then did she cover up the matter.

She also said to Jiang Yuan in a friendly manner, "You are also frightened. Go back to your room to rest and change your clothes."

When the cakes were knocked off, some of them stained Jiang Yuan's skirt. She bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Jiang Yuan is rude. I will not accompany you ladies. I will take my leave for now."

Then he bowed and said goodbye to the others.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yuan, whose eyes were red and who looked cautious, but who was very well-behaved and polite, like a lady from a noble family. When they compared him with Miss Jiang, who had inappropriate words and deeds, they had some thoughts in their minds.

He was able to leave the banquet and walked briskly towards the backyard with Luzhu.

When passing through the Moon Gate, I encountered He Xiang again.

He Xiang was so surprised when she saw Jiang Yuan walking towards her with a refreshed look on his face that she stood there in a daze.

Walking up to her, Jiang Yuan smiled, "Oh, you got beaten, the job wasn't done, the master was furious and broke so many things, I feel really bad for you."

The maid was shocked. She ignored the rules and looked up at Jiang Yuan in horror.

Jiang Yuan sneered and uttered two words, "Idiot."
