Chapter II

Time flies, and another three months have passed in the days of recuperation and school girl popularity.

In the meantime, after Yuan Niang's decoction was broken, her biological mother Xu came once, as for Zhuo Xiyu, she has not come again since that questioning, and in the past few months, by chatting with Lan Mei around her, Yuan Niang also has a general understanding of the situation at home.

There are a total of eight masters and servants inside and outside the house, in addition to a girl by their side, there is also a personal girl left by the former wife, that is, Zhuo Xiyu's nurse and the Feng family.

The thread in Yuan Niang's hand kept stopping, and she sighed in her heart, if she wasn't sick, where would she be qualified to raise a girl by her side, although Lan Mei didn't say it directly, she also guessed eight or nine points.

"Then who does our usual food? There should always be a cook, right? Yuan Niang stopped and looked at Lan Mei.

"Miss, the daily meals are made by Mrs., and there is no input in the house, so Mrs. said that it is a point to save a point."

Yuan Niang had a belly in her heart, so how could Zhuo Xiyu still dress like a rich man, and raise her like a big lady, and sighed again, who made the family the real Miss Yan, she is now the second Miss Yan is just a halfway monk, as for the Xu family, who is the main wife, I am afraid that there is also some engine in it.

"Lan Mei, are you in the house?"

Hearing the shouts in the courtyard, Lan Mei stood up from her chair, "It's Yu Yan next to the eldest lady." โ€

One side has responded, "Yes." โ€

And the man went out.

Listening to the sound outside, Yuan Niang walked to the window and peeked out, sure enough, she was also an eight or nine-year-old girl, dressed better than herself.

"Just came from the kitchen, and Mrs. asked me to come over to see what the second lady was doing, and asked her to go to the kitchen to help."

"I know, what about Sister Yuyan" Don't look at Lan Mei's usual boldness, as soon as she saw something related to Zhuo Xiyu, she was as timid as a cat and a mouse.

Yuan Niang watched Lan Mei weakly and Yu Yan go back to the house, walked back to the bed and sat down in a few steps, and when she heard Lan Mei open the door and walk in, she pretended to put down the embroidered cloth she had just picked up in her hand.

"Miss, Madame told you to go to the kitchen."

"What's the matter?"

Lan Mei hesitated, "I don't know either." โ€

Yuan Niang looked at her for a while before standing up, "Then I'll take a look." โ€

I don't dare to say it.

After all, the dignified second lady wants to go to the kitchen to be a girl, and it is a shameful thing to let a girl, especially a girl who serves herself, but I don't know what this Xu family thinks.

Zhuo's house is a two-entry courtyard, the east chamber lives in Zhuo Xiyu, Yuan Niang lives in the west chamber, the kitchen is in the wing room behind the main house, Yuan Niang passed the weeping flower door under the guidance of Lan Mei, and arrived at the back of the wing, looking at the room with windows and doors, is smoking outside, I think it is the kitchen, when people come to the front, Xu Shi just came out of it.

There were no outsiders around, only their mothers and sisters, Xu only raised his eyelids and glanced at Yuan Niang, "Pick this bundle of spinach, peel the potatoes, and bring some firewood in when you're done." โ€

After saying that, the man turned around and went into the kitchen again.

With a cold and capable attitude, Yuan Niang instantly understood, Yuan Niang did this job every day before she got sick, otherwise how could Xu let a seven-year-old child do this without a little hesitation.

In her previous life, she was used to being rich, where did Yuan Niang do this kind of work, obviously she couldn't do it.

Half an hour later, Xu Shi walked out of the kitchen with a cold face, "I'm sick, why is my hand movement slowing down, isn't it just picking a dish?" Do you really think of yourself as a young lady? โ€

As soon as she heard this, Yuan Niang became angry and threw the potatoes in her hand with a snap.

"If Madame dislikes what I've done badly, then let someone else or do it myselfใ€ใ€ใ€"

ใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€

Xu's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to point at Yuan Niang, "You dare to learn to talk back?" Didn't Lan Mei's girl teach you? I knew that you should drive that girl away after you got well, if it weren't for the face of Zhuo Fu, why bother to eat idle food for nothing. โ€

Zhuo Mansion has been impoverished to this extent, but it can also have some prestige, and there is not even a girl to serve by the master's side, how can it be passed out, after thinking about it, the Xu family left Lanmei down.

"There are a lot of idle meals in the house, why does the lady say that I am the same? Speaking of which, I'm the youngest in this house, so why is it my fault everywhere? "She is not the former Yuan Niang, she can be bullied.

"Yo, I heard you right, right? These two young ladies are talking back to their ladies, right? Feng Ma walked in from the hanging flower door in a strange voice.

Yuan Niang obviously looked at Feng Ma's words and made Xu's hand tremble slightly, and in the next moment, Xu's slap fell on Yuan Niang's face without warning, and Yuan Niang was stunned.

"Second Miss, although our Zhuo Mansion is now defeated, it is also a famous family, and the direct family is still an official in the capital, this rule can't be messed up, and the conflict between the children and the elders will ruin the reputation of our house."

Feng Ma walked slowly like a proud peacock.

"Did you hear that? Give me to kneel in front of the master and the lady's spirit card," Xu Shiqiang pulled out a smile at Feng's mother.

She carefully observed Feng Ma's expression, and when she saw that she had spoken, Feng Ma nodded with satisfaction before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Niang was slapped by this slap to understand, not to mention the side, that is, she occupies the great reason, in this kind of family, she can't be ignored, because her identity is a concubine Miss, even if she has become the second Miss now, it is useless.

Xu is the wife who was lifted up from her aunt, looking at the faces of the daughters and subordinates of the real lady everywhere, the identity of this wife is more important than her own daughter.

The warmth and coldness of the people made Yuan Niang very disappointed in the Xu family in front of her just once.

It is also good that if it is interrupted, it will be disturbed.

The real Yuan Niang was pushed down the lake by Zhuo Xiyu and died, which can be regarded as returning her life to the Xu family, and she will not owe anything to the Xu family from now on.

Seeing that Yuan Niang lowered her head and one side of her face was swollen, Feng's mother was very satisfied, "The eldest lady asked me to come over to see if the meal is ready?" โ€

Xu Shi responded again and again, "It's done, the sweet and sour fish and pork ribs that the eldest lady wants to eat have just come out of the pot." โ€

When Xu folded it out of the kitchen, he held the food box in his hand and handed it to Feng's mother.

"Then I'll drop by and send the second lady to the ancestral hall." Feng Ma glanced at Yuan Niang, turned around and left first.

Seeing that Yuan Niang was still standing with her head down, Xu pushed her hatefully, Yuan Niang staggered a few steps before she stood firm, but she didn't look at Xu again, and followed Feng Ma all the way to the ancestral hall in the front yard.

The ancestral hall is dedicated to this side of the tablet, the door from the outside as soon as it is closed, there is a kind of eerie feeling, although it is summer, but the knees kneeling for a long time the cold is slowly surging up, the stinging feeling Yuan Niang is the first time in her life to feel ah.

She is not stupid, she is only seven years old, and she is arguing with them in front of her, and in the end, she is the only one who suffers.

Today's slap made her understand that if she continues to die hard like this, she will suffer even more.
