Chapter 949: What’s This Meat?

　　“The Three Golden Flowers seem to be coming this way.” Bu Yaolian, who had been sent to stand guard, hurried over.

　　“They’re fine. Just say that we’re roasting meat. They don’t know what we’re roasting. Don’t worry.”

　　Ah Luo wasn’t happy. “My lady, you can’t give them dragon meat. I’ll drive them away.”

　　Ah Luo knew that these people would definitely want to eat a few pieces when they smelled how delicious the meat was, and she didn’t want to give them any.

　　“Petty.” Gu Bailu poked her in the head.

　　Ah Luo said seriously, “I don’t want to give them any.”

　　“Fine, fine. Send them away.”

　　Ah Luo was very straightforward. She rushed out and shouted, “Stop! Our lady is resting here, and doesn’t like to be disturbed.”

　　One of the girls frowned. “Who’s your lady?”

　　“Princess Zi.”

　　Another girl said, “It’s Princess Zi. We should greet her.”

　　“No need. My lady is roasting meat. She doesn’t have time for you.”

　　With those words, Ah Luo dismissed them and left.

　　Bu Yaolian was lost for words. “Ah Luo, you don’t want to give them meat, but you told them that Lulu is roasting meat…”

　　“My lady, was I wrong?” Ah Luo was confused. They were indeed roasting meat; it was just that she didn’t want to give the Three Golden Flowers any.

　　“You weren’t wrong, it’s fine.”

　　Ah Luo had the nature of a child, and Gu Bailu had never taught her to lie.

　　Bu Yaolian sighed. “For Ah Luo to be this innocent is really a miracle.”

　　How many lies had she told Shao Zun?

　　If those lies were exposed, they would be riddled with holes.

　　Gu Bailu smiled. “Everybody has their own way of doing things. You’re not bad yourself.”

　　Bu Yaolian shook off her emotions and drooled at the delicious dragon meat.

　　“How long will it take? I can’t stop drooling,” said Bu Yaolian.

　　“A while longer. Go out and keep watch. If Shao Zun finds out, watch your back.”

　　“It should be fine, right? Shao Zun doesn’t know what we’re roasting.”

　　“It’s best to be careful,” said Gu Bailu.

　　Bu Yaolian nodded and stood outside obediently.

　　A fragrant smell and smoke rose from among the plum blossoms every now and then.

　　The Three Golden Flowers looked at it again and again. “Princess Zi is really enjoying herself, coming to our garden to roast meat.”

　　“Why does this meat smell so good… But Princess Zi is so stingy. She won’t give us any.”

　　“Sister Lian’er won’t give us any either. To think that we made snacks for her first.”

　　“Sister Lian’er is so petty.”

　　“Sister Lian’er never wanted to give Shao Zun to us to begin with. She’s always been petty.”

　　The three sisters agreed that Sister Lian’er was petty.

　　Sister Lian’er, who was regarded as petty, was eating to her heart’s content. Her mouth was oily and she praised enthusiastically, “It’s so delicious. All the meat in the world can’t compare with dragon meat. I can eat the whole dragon.”

　　Ah Luo was too busy eating to talk.

　　Gu Bailu roasted two more plates. “Leave one for your Shao Zun and one for my husband.”

　　“Okay, but will they be able to tell?”

　　“My husband doesn’t know much about fine food and will just eat it. Shao Zun probably won’t be able to recognize it. I’ve roasted it in a special way, and he won’t be able to tell what meat it is.”

　　Thus… at night, Su Shenfan saw a plate of golden meat on the table, sprinkled with all kinds of seasoning.
