The moment the little girl was thrown to the ground, she started to sob and cry.
Everyone was confused and looked curiously at Meng Ling Xuan. Some of them recognized the servant girl on the ground and exclaimed, "Xiao Hong? I was wondering why I didn't see you just now. "
When Jin Xiangyu saw Xiao Hong, her face paled. If it weren't for Qiu Lingpi's support, she would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.
Seeing her expression, Song Xiangsi knew there was something fishy about it. She coldly glanced at Xiao Hong and asked, "Speak, is this matter related to you!?"
Qiu Lingpi was no fool. At this moment, he also understood what was going on. He stared coldly at the maidservant on the ground and bellowed, "Did you steal this?"
Little Red was still sobbing and did not answer. Meng Liangxuan's eyes turned cold and he humphed deeply, "Huh?"
Little Red was just a little girl who had never seen any worldly matters. Being frightened by him, coupled with the fact that she had already been taught a lesson by Meng Ling Xuan, she was well aware of how scary this person was, so she hurriedly told him about what had happened.
"It really has nothing to do with me. It's Madam … Madame told me to put the bracelet in Miss Song's room. "
"Shut up, you stupid girl, what nonsense are you spouting?"
However, Qiu Lingpi's expression had already sunk. His cold eyes landed on her body. Golden Fragrance Yu became even more anxious.
"Head, you must believe me. It must be the fault of this little girl. She was afraid that she stole something from me, which is why she framed me!"
As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Meng Fanxuan and coldly said, "It must be this man. In order to help Song Xiangsi get rid of the charges, he turned Xiao Hong into his opponent, and even brought the blame onto me!"
"Yes, they are in the same group!"
Jin Xiangyu was in a hurry to make a complaint, and her usual dignified and steady demeanor was gone.
She was not a scheming woman, much less someone who knew how to act. Thus, with just a glance, Qiu Lingpi could tell that she was lying. Disappointment flashed across her black eyes as she waved her hand, allowing someone to drag Xiao Hong out.
"She committed the act of stealing. After the incident, she even slandered the matriarch. She hit the twenty big boards. Throw her out."
Little Red was scared to death. Tears were streaming down her face as she begged for mercy, but Qiu Lingpi was determined. He waved for someone to drag Little Red away and then turned to look at Song Xiangsi, smiling as he apologized.
"The servants in the house do not understand the rules. Please forgive me for wronging Miss Song."
Song Xiangsi pursed her lips. Although she did not like being wronged by others and was extremely dissatisfied with the narrow-minded Jindan, she still nodded in agreement on account of how Qiu Lingpi had always believed in her.
Jin Xiangyu pouted and felt relieved, but at the same time, she also felt a bit unhappy. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by a cold glare from Qiu Lingdi. She could only roll her eyes and shut her mouth.
Today, when Song Xiangsi was about to leave, Qiu Lingpi left the two of them to eat at home in order to express his apologies. Originally, Song Xiangsi wanted to refuse, but Meng Ling Xuan disliked having Song Xiangsi stay.
However, he could not bear with Qiu Lingzhi's invitation. In addition, Uncle Liu also stayed behind, saying that the store was about to reopen and would like to discuss further.
Song Xiangsi had no choice but to pull Meng Ling Xuan to stay. Xiao Hong was chased out of the house, and her family was short of manpower. Thus, Jin Xiang Yu was summoned by Qiu Lingzhi to the kitchen to help.
Golden Fragrance was extremely dissatisfied. She stood against the wall of the kitchen, not moving an inch. She was directing the women's work until the dishes were ready. Then, she reluctantly carried the dishes into the living room.
Just as he reached the door, he heard Song Xiangsi's plan, saying that he must not be greedy in the first three days and that he had to limited the sales volume. However, he accepted the reservation.
She curled her lips, thinking that this damned girl had quite a lot of schemes in her heart. In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Right now, it's said so lightly, but I just don't know. When the time comes, who will pay?"
As she said this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes inside. Even if she lost, it wouldn't be a loss to her, Song Xiangsi. No wonder this girl was so conflicted.
Song Xiangsi could not be bothered with her and could only reply with a smile that was not a smile, "When the time comes, Madam will just watch."
Jin Xiangyu curled her lips. The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, so Qiu Lingdi hurried out to smooth things over. "My wife has always been this straightforward. She's worried about the profits and losses, so she just said it out loud. Hahaha …"
Song Xiangsi curled her lips into a smile and did not say a word. She grumbled inwardly. There were always people who treated being rude as being straightforward!
However, lovers were always different. It was just a matter of a couple. Who cares about her? As long as it doesn't get in her way and she doesn't earn money, it's fine.
Because there were guests here today, Qiu Lingpi arranged for people to make a few more dishes, eight meat dishes and five different kinds of dishes. Because there were guests here today, Qiu Lingpi also arranged for people to make a few additional dishes, eight meat and five five five different kinds of dishes.
Perhaps these dishes were considered good in an ordinary person's home. In fact, they were comparable to the dishes cooked by the head chef of a restaurant in a county. However, in front of Song Xiangsi, they were not even worth looking at.
She had always been a picky eater, so she had no interest in these things.
Even Meng Xuanxuan only meaningfully ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks. His handsome brows slightly knitted as he thought to ask Song Xiangsi to provide more food for him when he returned.
His mouth was already being cultivated by Song Xiangsi. Not only was he on the verge of starving to death, he could not even eat the food cooked by others.
Meng Ling Xuan couldn't help but feel depressed. He thought to himself that he must think of a way in the future to coax Song Xiang Si into coming home, cook for him, and warm his bed!
Only after eating two bowls of rice did Qiu Lingpi realize that the dishes in front of the two of them had not been touched at all. He could not help but feel curious. He thought for a moment and was still unable to hold back from asking.
"I don't think the two of you have much appetite. Is it because the food is not to your liking?"
Song Xiangsi hurriedly shook her head. Although she knew it was impolite to do so, she could not force herself to eat after forcing herself to be late. For a moment, she could not find any excuse, so she could only poke Meng Ling Xuan with her arm. Asking him to help her out.
Meng Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't care about that much. He glanced at the dishes on the table, then pulled the corners of his lips and bluntly said, "That's right. Compared to the food cooked by our boss, there's simply no way to eat it."
Speaking of which, his lips curled up into a smile, and his chin tilted upwards. He even had a sense of honor.
Qiu Lingpi was surprised. "Oh?" Is it that exaggerated? "
He had originally thought that since Song Xiangsi and Meng Lianxuan usually lived in the countryside, their food would be rather coarse. Today's feast of fish and meat, with all sorts of delicious dishes, should be very popular.
