Mrs. Jiang's heart sank. She knew Yu Niaoniao was going to take advantage of the situation.
But she had no room to refuse.
The most important thing to her at the moment was her son's safety. She would promise anything to see her son.
Mrs. Jiang gestured for her to tell her. Yu Niaoniao extended a fair and tender finger.
"First, you're not allowed to restrict my personal freedom in the future. I can go wherever I want. You can't interfere."
This request was too simple, so simple that it exceeded Mrs. Jiang's expectations.
She nodded without hesitation. "Okay."
Since she wasn't her biological daughter, she couldn't be bothered to care where he went.
Yu Niaoniao looked at Yu Kangtai.
He was the head of the family. His attitude was the key.
Yu Kangtai was obviously very reluctant. It was only right for a father to discipline his daughter. Yu Miaomiao's request was obviously a challenge to his dignity as a father.
But for his son's sake, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Sure, go wherever you want. If you get into trouble in the future, don't expect me to clean up your mess!"
Yu Niaoniao did not take the other party's threat seriously.
The truth was, she'd never expected much from her father, Yu Kangtai.
They would be lucky if they could live together in peace.
Yu Wenxian extended a second finger and continued.
"Secondly, if I want to cook hotpot at the Green Jade Residence in the future, don't stop me."
Yu Kangtai recalled that the last time she had a barbecue in her house, Prince Lang had chanced upon the scene. The corners of his lips twitched. He wanted to curse, but he held back because of his son.
His face was grim as he spoke stiffly.
"Do whatever you want. I want to see what else you can do in the future!"
He really did not understand. Why did Yu Qianqian choose to cook instead of being the daughter of an official?
Did the Yu family lack food?!
Yu Pingping had similar thoughts.
He looked down on Yu Yingying's way of doing things. By insisting on cooking personally, it would be lowering her status and seeming to ve too petty!
Mrs. Jiang was still suspicious.
She had a feeling that Yu Niaoniao was not that simple. She would definitely not let go of such a great opportunity to ask for benefits.
As expected, in the next moment, she saw Yu Niaoniao extend a third finger.
"Third, I want something. You guys have to get it for me as soon as possible."
Mrs. Jiang sneered secretly. It seemed that she was right. This girl was indeed very scheming.
Next, Yu Qianqian would definitely ask for a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry. She might even suggest splitting the Yu family's assets.
Just as Mrs. Jiang was waiting for the other party to open his mouth, she saw Dang Gui hand over two pieces of paper.
The paper was covered in writing.
Yu Niaoniao said, "It's a list of what I want."
Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath and was prepared to suffer the pain.
She focused on the paper and saw—
One furnace,
Ten pounds of charcoal,
Two pounds of pork belly,
One pound of chili,
A bundle of garlic sprouts,
Shallots, ginger, garlic, two taels each,
A jug of cooking wine,
Salt and vinegar…
Mrs. Jiang almost thought that she had seen wrongly.
Her eyes widened involuntarily as she read the list again.
Yet no matter how many times she read it, nothing on the list changed.
She was not the only one. Yu Kangtai was also stunned.
He asked in disbelief.
"That's it?"
Yu Niaoniao was baffled. "What else could it be?"
Mrs. Jiang quickly came back to her senses.
She replied quickly as if she was afraid that the other party would regret it.
"Alright. I'll have someone get it ready."
