Chapter 193 True or False Thoughts

When Li Wanbai saw Li Shuchen disembark with the disaster relief supplies, her horse began to tremble violently.

Give me some, give me some! I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to get rich quick!

"Here you go. If I had arrived a moment later, you would have been drooling with envy."

Li Wanbai couldn't hear anything, her head was buried in Kuku's Hyun.

Hmm~ Announcement~~ Announcement~~~

Li Shuchen shook her head helplessly. How could she have raised such a glutton?

Grape: "Miss, Princess Changning and Lord Gu have arrived."

"Quickly serve the dumplings and mutton soup, and take them to the Three Treasures Hall."

"Yes, miss"

Li Shuchen hurriedly went upstairs and into the house, where the two were already sitting at the octagonal table.

"You're so lucky! I had just finished making the dumplings when you arrived."

Gu Ziying smiled

"Then I'll have to try them and see if Shu Chen's dumplings are as delicious as the other dishes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Grape brought in dumplings.

"Miss, the dumplings and mutton soup are here."

Zhang Lingyu, Zhang Yuling, and Yu'er followed closely behind, each carrying a basin. The four of them put down their items one by one, then turned and left.

Three large bowls of dumplings and one large bowl of mutton soup were neatly arranged on the table.

Princess Changning couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"Li Shuchen, how many dumplings did you make?"

Li Shuchen washed his hands and sat down.

"There's plenty, more than we can eat."

Gu Ziying picked up the nearest dumpling, took a bite, and said...

"These dumplings are surprisingly sour; they're so appetizing!"

Princess Changning became interested upon hearing this.

"I'll try some too. It's good, delicious!"

Li Shuchen smiled smugly

"Of course it'll be delicious! This pickled cabbage is my own secret recipe; you won't find it anywhere else. The pickled cabbage and pork dumplings are pretty good, aren't they? We also have lamb and onion dumplings, and beef and carrot dumplings. Eat them while they're hot; they're so fragrant!"

Gu Ziying and Li Shuchen kept eating without stopping.

Princess Changning, however, put down her chopsticks after trying one of each dish.

Li Shuchen chewed on his dumplings, puzzled. Changning usually ate the most, so why did she stop eating so quickly this time? There must be something fishy going on. He asked...

"Changning, you're full after eating just three dumplings?"

Princess Changning smiled shyly upon hearing this.

"I ate the dumplings that Young Master Shen gave me before I came, but I don't feel like eating anymore."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen's mouth froze for a moment.

Sure enough, if you don't eat at home, you just eat your fill outside.

Then, casually, he asked...

What kind of filling did he give you?

"Chive and tofu filling"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen angrily put down her chopsticks.

"You won't even give me the meat filling, and you won't even give me two eggs?"

Princess Changning retorted

"He's so good to me, you wouldn't believe it. He was worried the dumplings would get cold, so he kept them warm in his arms for me. When I ate them, they were still warm."

He also told me, 'Even though these dumplings have scalded my chest, it's worth it for you.' Shu Chen, Zi Ying, no man has ever treated me like this before. I don't know how to repay him."

Li Shuchen was speechless upon hearing this.

Good, good, good. You won Changning's heart with such a cheap and low-cost effort. What's wrong? Aren't her three kinds of meat dumplings delicious? You're moved by such a small cost? Changning is really stupid, so stupid!

Gu Ziying remained silent, quietly eating her dumplings. She knew Shu Chen's meat dumplings were definitely more delicious than the chive and tofu ones; she wanted to eat more.

Li Shuchen advised him with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Changning, to see if someone is good to you, look at whether they give you what they lack, not at what they already possess."

Princess Changning nodded.

"I was drawn to his rare finds. He said the chive and tofu dumplings were made just for me, while his family eats only tofu dumplings. Young Master Shen is truly kind to me."

~%?…；*'☆&c$︿★?

Li Shuchen was completely bewildered, utterly bewildered. She hadn't expected, she truly hadn't expected, that chive and tofu would be the best dumpling filling in Shen Feng's royal family. What could she say? What could she possibly say?

Gu Ziying was taken aback upon hearing this, then recovered and said...

"Changning, the Shen family is so simple... can you really stand it?"

Princess Changning shrugged indifferently.

"I have money. All I care about is that Young Master Shen treats me well; nothing else matters."

Okay, okay, Li Shuchen really has nothing to say.

Princess Changning stood up and said

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm leaving."

Li Shuchen grabbed Princess Changning and asked...

"What to do?"

"This morning I noticed that Young Master Shen was dressed so thinly, so I asked him why he wasn't wearing winter clothes. He said he didn't have any, so I thought I'd go to Huashang Pavilion to buy a few sets of winter clothes for Young Master Shen and his family. He's good to me, so I should be good to him too. I'll be going now, you all enjoy your meal."

Princess Changning left after speaking.

Gu Ziying watched Changning leave and said

"Shu Chen, I feel Chang Ning is getting deeper and deeper into this."

"Yes, silly Changning, even though he said he didn't have any, she still went out of her way to buy it for him. A man who truly loves someone will never show his embarrassment; he'll only say he's doing great."

Young Master Shen said he didn't have any, but he just wanted Changning to buy him winter clothes. I think sending dumplings was a pretense; he really wanted winter clothes.

Gu Ziying finished eating and put down her chopsticks.

But Changning can't recognize it.

"It'll be soon. Changning will soon realize what kind of person Shen Fenghuang is. Ziying, would you like to watch this grand show with me?"

"That's natural"

"At noon on the fifteenth of this month, let's meet at Xiangchi Tower in Changning to discuss the division of chapters!"

Gu Ziying nodded solemnly and stood up.

"I'm heading back now. Shuchen, let's go to the temple fair together tonight."

"it is good"

After seeing Gu Ziying off

Li Shuchen went to the backyard and packed a lot of dumplings that had been wrapped but not cooked and were frozen solid outside into a food container.

"Aunt Wang, there are still so many dumplings outside. Could you please share them with everyone? If you can't finish them, you can take them with you."

"Understood, Miss."

Lee House

"Father, Mother, Xiao'er, I'm back."

Master Li: "Chen'er, you're back."

Li Lingxiao: "Sister, you're back."

The father and son both looked at Li Shuchen, their eyes bright and hopeful, as if they had seen a savior.

Master Li was covered in flour from head to toe, and Li Lingxiao wasn't much better off; they were both in a terrible state.

"Father, what are you doing?"

Today is the Winter Solstice, and I'm thinking of making some dumplings.

"Why are you making dumplings in such a mess?"

Li Shuchen stepped into the kitchen, and what she saw shocked her.

The flour flew all over the kitchen, and a large bowl of flour lay scattered on the floor.

Mr. Li stood to the side, somewhat awkwardly.

"It's all Dad's fault; he can never get things right."

Li Shuchen handed the dumplings from the food box to Li Lingxiao.

"Xiao'er, cook these dumplings."

Li Lingxiao reached out and took the food box. Opening it, she saw it piled high with plump, round dumplings. They were clearly thin-skinned, generously filled, and incredibly delicious. She happily exclaimed...

"Sister, you've wrapped it all up?"

Master Li gave a perfunctory compliment.

"My Chen'er is so amazing! He even makes such beautiful dumplings. Xiao'er, hurry up and cook them. Remember to call me 'Father' when they're done."

"Understood, Father."
