Nanny Xu only said that she wanted to stay herself because she saw that seven girls was at home. On the way there, she had to squeeze together with a bunch of people and there was still Old Lady Liu watching him. It was much easier and safer than staying at home and serving the seven girls well. The people in the kitchen only saw that the seven girls was going to go out in the future, but did not see the seven girls being 5 years old right now, still living in his house for a long time, getting a favour from his house, with such a large Buddha ready to pay respects, and instead giving up the pearl and initiates, are you stupid!?

After the people from the Residence of Liu had confirmed the news, Nanny Xu asked around whether there were any farmers with warm vegetables growing in the suburbs. They would be willing to buy any dish, regardless of the price. As expected, today, someone had sent over a bitter gourd. It was fresh and spirited, and was worth the price of meat dishes.

Although Wan Ting was considered to be frivolous and lively amongst the maids, to be able to stand firmly in the inner court was not a simple person. How could she not know what kind of thoughts was in the mind of this woman in front of him? She did not make a sound on the spot, and only smiled as she received the food, turned her head and walked towards moon-nesting.

Xi Shi and Xi Yun looked at the messy food on the ground, then looked at each other and silently shook their heads. No one had the guts to go up and try to advise them.

In truth, Nanny Xu did not deliver much worse food to fourth wife as well. It was the same as usual, with a Red Braised Rabbit Meat, White Jade Pearl Sturgeon Soup, and three other vegetables that had been stir-fried. They were fresh and still steaming after being thrown onto the ground.

She could only blame Xi Yun for being meddlesome. Today, the big kitchen had delivered the dishes a bit too late, so she asked with her mouth open. The little girl was also quick to speak, she directly said to her, because the big kitchen had to rush to deliver the big kitchen's dinner first.

Coincidentally, the girl had just woken up to take a walk. When she heard that, she immediately got angry. She grabbed the little girl and asked about the dishes given to her in her room. The little girl finally knew that she had gotten into trouble and was forced by Xu Minglan to not speak the truth.

Seeing her walking back without saying a word, Xi Yun was afraid, so he quickly picked up his food box and followed. As soon as he stepped into the room, the food box in his hands was snatched away by Xu Minglan and he threw it onto the ground with a thump. The soy sauce vegetables flew all over the floor, scaring the whole room full of girls and making them turn pale, not daring to move at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Xi Shi immediately ran over, and upon seeing Xi Yun's expression, he knew that it was not good, and stood at the side silently.

"Dog slave, you really know how to lick one's butt. Xi Chun, go take a look.

The girl in red who was called had left with a bitter face.

"Xi Qing, open my box, take out the money and servants, and have them go outside to Hongqing Tower to order a table of the most expensive noodles. Remember, you must bring it in with great fanfare, if your voice is lower, I will ask you a question."

Xi Qing thought, the silver in the young lady's chest was already scarce, for this reason, she had almost spent most of it, it was not worth it. However, she didn't have the guts to say that the girl was angry, so she could only slowly open the box and slowly count out forty taels of silver, hoping that someone could persuade her to change her mind.

But when she was about to go out, Xu Minglan's face was still terrifyingly green. He could only sigh as he walked out the door, find a servant from the outer court who was familiar with each other, and explain in detail what the young lady had instructed him to do. The work done in the outer court was not for nothing. After paying half a silver for the errand, and after the banquet was confirmed and delivered, another 30 taels of silver was required. This was not eating food at all, this was clearly eating money.

The Steel Ox took Xi Qing's silver and was speechless in its heart, these young miss and young masters really had money and no place to spend it, it was not like the mansion did not have any food, each meal had two meat dishes. For people like them who worked in the Xu family, they only earned two taels of silver a month. They only ate mixed grains, steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and only on New Year's Day did they get to see a bit of meat.

The one who gave the money was the boss, since five girls wanted to order the noodles and he had half a silver tael to pay for the errand, no matter how speechless he was, Tie Niu still happily took the money and walked out. Maybe the owner of the restaurant in Hongqing Tower also had something to take away from him. It was fortunate that Wang Da and the rest were not here today. Otherwise, such a good thing would not have happened to him.

After instructing Iron Ox to cook noodles outside, Xi Qing stood in the outer court for a while before she slowly walked back into the Xueju. Fortunately, five girls had finished her tantrum, so Xi Shi and Xi Chun had brought the little girls to cover the leftovers of the dishes on the ground with mud. Hearing her return, they all raised their heads and looked towards the door.

Xi Chun momentarily forgot about the wound on her face, and quickly lowered her head.

Xi Qing's eyes were sharp, but she saw it. She went closer to take a closer look, and clearly saw a red palm print on it.

"Did the girl hit you? "Does it hurt so much?" Amongst the servants, Xi Qing and Xi Chun were the best, so she asked.

"It's nothing, I'm not happy. It's fine as long as I fight." Xi Chun was unwilling to say more and kept his face hidden.

Xi Shi shook his head at Xi Qing and pointed to the house.

Xi Chun was very careful, she also asked for a bowl of flour from the big kitchen to knead the dough, then she kneeled on the ground and used the dough to press the floor once, afraid that there would be more fragments of the bowl on the floor that had not been cleaned up yet. The girls in the room were all wearing soft soled shoes, it would be bad if they stepped on them.

He was just about to get angry when he saw Xi Chun kneeling on the ground and using a piece of dough to make porcelain, causing him to regret for a moment. He went forward to pull her up and said, "Just leave these small matters to the girls below, you are the big girl in my room, so there is no need to worry about doing all this."

Xi Chun laughed indifferently, "I'm afraid that I'm not very meticulous in what I do below, in the end, I still have to do it myself to be at ease, it would not be good if I accidentally poked my foot."

Xu Minglan's heart was moved as she repented, "You're the only one who cares about me the most in this room, I know you're doing this for my own good, I was just angered and couldn't hold it in for a moment, did I hurt you?"

Xi Chun shook her head. She knew in her heart that this was the character of his family's young lady. It was all wrong to do anything good when it wasn't good. She acted on impulse, but regretted it afterwards. She was also afraid that she would ruin the money and regret it tomorrow, so she opened her mouth to advise her daughter. After all, it was still thirty taels of silver.

Xi Qing and the others, who were standing at the side, felt extremely aggrieved. Although they knew what kind of person their master was, to speak of Xi Chun in such a manner in front of them, and feel that they were usually good to her, to be so careful of her, did not enter her eyes at all? Who in this room wasn't interested in her? Which of the food and clothing were not taken care of by them?

It would be better to do less than trying to curry favor with him and make more mistakes. Adding on the match at noon, Xi Shi was completely disheartened. When the lady goes out in the future, she would no longer be willing to follow her.
