61 Little Cookie

Yu Kangtai had just returned from the government office and had yet to change out of his official uniform. When he heard that Second Master Jiang was here, he went straight to the study.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, he heard what Yu Sheng said.

It turned out that Yu Sheng had been harmed by Jiang Ze!

It was because of Jiang Ze that Yu Sheng suffered such a prison sentence for no reason and almost lost his life.

Before Mrs. Jiang could speak, Yu Kangtai strode into the study.

He looked extremely uncomfortable.

“The anti-government poetry case has been investigated and the emperor has convicted Jiang Ze. There’s no room for negotiation. Don’t waste your efforts.”

Second Master Jiang said anxiously, “Ah Ze is still a child. Even if he really did something wrong, he doesn’t deserve to die. You’re Ah Ze’s uncle. Can you help me think of a way?”

Yu Kangtai sneered and said cynically.

“He’s nineteen, but he’s still a child?!”

He originally had a good impression of Jiang Ze. That child was good with words and was very good at winning the favor of the elders.

However, the thought of Jiang Ze almost killing Yu Sheng made Yu Kangtai grit his teeth in hatred.

Yu Sheng was his only son, the heir he had painstakingly nurtured. Whoever dared to touch his son was equivalent to touching his lifeblood!

He wished he could strangle Jiang Ze now. Why would he be willing to spend the effort to save him?

Without waiting for Second Master Jiang to say anything, Yu Kangtai flicked his sleeve and ordered his guests to leave.

After chasing Second Master Jiang away, Yu Kangtai said to Mrs. Jiang.

“Don’t interact with the Jiang family anymore.”

Mrs. Jiang said awkwardly.

“Even if Ah Ze made a mistake, it won’t implicate the entire Jiang family. After all, they’re my family.”

Her family was her backing. If she cut ties with her family, she would not even have anyone to help her when she encountered any difficulties in the future. She didn’t want to get into that kind of isolated situation.

Yu Kangtai was very tough.

“Why wouldn’t it be? The emperor had already ordered that the entire Jiang family would be exiled and could never return to the capital.

What did this mean? It meant that the emperor had completely despised the Jiang family! What you have to do now is to completely cut ties with the Jiang family and never interact with them again. This way, we will protect you, me, and our children!”

Mrs. Jiang’s face turned pale as if she had been struck by lightning.

She said in disbelief, “What did you say? Does the emperor want to exile the entire Jiang family? You’re lying to me, right? This isn’t true, right?”

Yu Kangtai folded his hands and bowed in the direction of the palace.

“This is an imperial edict personally issued by the emperor. How would dare I fake it?!”

Mrs. Jiang’s body swayed twice.

Yu Sheng hurriedly held her. “Mother, are you alright?”

Mrs. Jiang cried out, “How did it become like this? How did it become like this?!”

When the sky turned dark, the earthen oven was officially completed.

While there was still some warmth in the oven, Yu Niaoniao put in the small pieces of dough.

Dang Gui was in charge of controlling the temperature of the oven so that the biscuits would not burn. Yu Niaoniao continued to busy herself with her dinner.

The hot oil stir-fried the ingredients and added the oyster sauce. Then, she cut the tender tofu into small pieces and marinated beef slices in the soup.

When it was out of the pot, she sprinkled onions, sesame seeds, and garlic powder before pouring hot oil.

There was a sizzling sound as the fragrance was completely aroused.

Dang Gui could not help but take a deep breath and say in an intoxicated tone.

“It smells so good!”

Yu Niaoniao walked over and pulled open the oven to take a look.

The little cookies were neatly arranged on a baking sheet. Because of the added brown sugar, the cookies were slightly reddish brown.

She pulled the baking tray out with tongs and tasted a small biscuit.

When she bit down, it made a crunchy sound and had a crispy sweetness.
