Chapter 107



107 The Unruly Yu Niaoniao

Almost at noon, Yu Niaoniao threw away the book she was reading and jumped up excitedly.

It was finally time for a lunch break!

“I’ll check out the dining hall.”

And with that, she bounded out.

Xiao Juan put down his brush and got up. He walked around the screen, and to the small desk.

The brush on the desk was casually placed. The pen holder had long been tilted. The paperweight had fallen to the ground, and several books were scattered beside it.

The sharp-eyed Xiao Juan also realized that there were some pastry crumbs on the table.

Everyone in the Justice Department knew that Duke Lang was meticulous and never ate when he was working. The only food that could be sent to Mirror House was tea.

The pastries were definitely not provided by the kitchen. She could only have smuggled them in.

The thought of her eating while working made his forehead twitch.

This woman really had no manners!

Xiao Juan could not stand the chaotic scene in front of him.

He bent down and reached down to pick up the books that were scattered on the floor. He put them back on the desk and tidied it up briefly.

The table, which had been a mess, suddenly looked much neater.

Xiao Juan washed his hands and exhaled lightly.

At least it was now pleasing to the eye.

In the kitchen, the fat cook and his disciples learned several new dishes under the guidance of Yu Niaoniao.

It was probably because yesterday’s lunch was too delicious that the Eagle Guards went back to discuss this matter with their colleagues. Those Eagle Guards who were previously unable to come to the dining hall were piqued, causing the number of Eagle Guards who went to the dining hall to increase exponentially.

Even Lo Pingsha, who usually liked to hide and eat alone, appeared in the dining hall at this moment.

He deliberately avoided the crowd and chose an unnoticed corner to sit down.

The Eagle Guards were all gossiping about Duke Lang and Miss Yu. The dining hall was noisy.

Their voices crept into Lo Pingsha’s ears.

“I didn’t expect Miss Yu to be so good at cooking.”

“In the past, we could only eat stew every day. It was either stew meat or stew vegetables. I ate so much of those that I almost vomited.”

“Fortunately, Miss Yu is here. We’re finally in luck!”

“Which of yesterday’s dishes was your favorite? Three-cup chicken is my favorite.”

“Only children make choices. I like all of them!”

… .

Lo Pingsha had heard a lot and could not help but be curious about the rumored Miss Yu.

At that moment he saw a slender figure emerge from the scullery with a tray.

At first glance, one would think that the person was a young man.

However, Lo Pingsha was very observant and immediately recognized that it was a young girl dressed in men’s clothes.

Many of the Eagle Guards knew her. When they saw her appear, they greeted her warmly.

“Miss Yu, what delicious food did you make today?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled and replied generously.

“There’s dried loofah with bamboo shoots, salmon tofu, bonefish, red silk lettuce.”

Just the names alone were delicious!

The Eagle Guards were itching to know what kind of delicacy it was. However, they did not dare to go up to take a closer look due to etiquette and could only watch as she walked away.

Ever since Duke Lang came to the dining hall for lunch yesterday, the fat chef had gotten someone to bring over two screens and separate a small private room in the dining hall.

At this moment, Xiao Juan was sitting in a private room.

Even though there were no outsiders here, he still sat upright, his back straight.

Yu Niaoniao walked into the private room and placed the tray on the table.

“Time to eat!”
