Chapter 521 The Golden Lock (Part One)

Yun Shang followed San Niang's eyes and looked out through the window too. She let out a sigh, "I've only been here for a few days and the lotuses already withered, and I'm getting more and more bored these days."

San Niang glanced at Yun Shang and then looked away without saying a word.

At dinner time, Yun Shang picked up some food on her plate, but she put down her chopsticks after only a few bites. She said with a bitter face, "I remember that on the first day I came here, you promised me to ask the cooks in the kitchen if they can make some dishes in the State of Ning. These are all kinds of food everyday, and I really don't have the appetite to eat them at all. San Niang, look at me, I'm thinner than before."

San Niang looked at Yun Shang and found that Yun Shang looked really pale and thinner these days. She kept silent for a while and finnaly said, "I've asked the chef, but he couldn't cook the dishes in the State of Ning. I can do nothing about it."

Hearing this, Yun Shang said in a hurry, "it's not difficult to cook dishes of the state of Ning, but some ingredients are necessary. I'm afraid that you only need to buy some. I can give you the recipe. San Niang, please go to the market and ask the cook to pick up some ingredients. Please try to cook some dishes for me."

San Niang thought for a while and nodded her head. Yun Shang's face lit up at her reaction. She hurried to take out a piece of paper, write down some ingredients and recipes, dry her ink and handed the paper to San Niang.

Yun Shang added again, "by the way, I also want to eat osmanthus cake. When the cooks go shopping, please bring me some osmanthus cake as well. What do you think?"

San Niang took the paper, folded it

t looks very tempting with the orange color, but few people know that there is a secret inside the cake."

Yun Shang abruptly lifted the piece of osmanthus cake in her hand and took out a piece of gold lock inside the cake. She looked at San Niang, whose face had changed a lot, and said, "the gold lock inside the cake is very exquisite. I guess the person who made it must have put a lot of efforts on it. An auspicious word was engraved on its face. It should be the name of a child, 'Xiang'. It's said that name could best reflect parents' love for their children. And the meaning of the name is very good. Presumably, the children are also loved by the parents.

Yun Shang lifted her eyes and passed the gold lock to San Niang. San Niang looked very pale. Yun Shang smiled at it.

San Niang lowered her head and looked at the gold lock with a look of disbelief in her eyes. She bit her lips, shook her head and said: "no, how could it be possible? All your things have been taken by us. Now all the things you used were our things, and there are guards around this yard as well. I stayed by your side every day. How can you get in touch with..."
