But the older he got, the more he looked like his mother.

The same is unparalleled in beauty.

Over the years, he has restrained his edge and willingly stayed in this dilapidated courtyard. However, there are still many maids in the mansion or young ladies visiting the mansion who show their affection to him.

So Jiang Ziyi was naturally classified as one of these people.

But it was impossible for him to change his opinion just because of half a basket of silver bone charcoal. Anyone related to Nangong Muyun was not trustworthy.

The attendant saw through his thoughts and said, "Sir, don't worry too much about this. If the young lady has any other ideas, she will definitely come to our courtyard again. We will see what happens then."

Nangong Shuyan nodded, and for some reason he remembered the girl's back as she hurriedly left his yard.

He was also a little curious about what reason she would have for coming next time.

After returning to Huashaoyuan, Jiang Ziyi closed the door of the cabin and held a short meeting with Chunqin.

"You also found out today that the food provided by the kitchen is not right."

Chunqin nodded cautiously. "The lady had already spilled the meat and refused to let anyone eat it, so there must be something wrong."

"So we'll cook for ourselves from now on."

Haruko nodded subconsciously.

Then he said in shock: "Huh?"

Chunqin said with some embarrassment: "But Miss, I can't cook..."

Jiang Ziyi waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I can do it. Just go to the market and buy some vegetables."

After all, after completing the main task of giving birth in her previous two lives, she traveled around without any servants and did everything by herself, so naturally she also learned how to cook.

But Chunqin was very skeptical about this statement.

After all, the young lady was the legitimate daughter of the prefect. When had she ever cooked soup?

She was very skeptical whether the food the young lady made was edible.

He said tentatively, "Miss, if you are not sure about the food in the kitchen, why don't we buy it directly from the restaurant..."

Jiang Ziyi shook her head and interrupted, "How much is our monthly allowance?"

Chunqin thought about her empty purse and nodded sadly: "Miss, you are right, it is Chunqin who is ignorant."

"A-choo!" Jiang Ziyi sneezed again because of the cold.

Chunqin hurried to light the charcoal.

But it’s still early. If we order it now and then order it again at night, it won’t be enough.

Jiang Ziyi saw that Chunqin looked anxious.

He rubbed his hands and said to her, "Let's go to the next yard to pay a visit."

Chunqin's eyes suddenly widened. Isn't that Miss Su's yard next door? Is her own young lady preparing to show off her power?!

She immediately picked up the broom excitedly.

"Miss, let's go."

Jiang Ziyi looked at her as if she was ready for a fight, smiled and shook her head.

"You, put this down."

"We are going there to persuade them in a friendly way, not to fight."

"Oh..." Chunqin was instantly deflated and put the broom back into the corner.

She asked worriedly, "Miss, are you really not going to bring anything with you? What if they bully you?"

Jiang Ziyi raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

Bully?

Her self-defense skills are a one-time purchase and are valid for life.

If it comes to a one-on-one fight in this mansion, I'm afraid no one can beat her.

She embraced Chunqin and said, "Let's go. Your young lady will never be bullied!"

Hearing Jiang Ziyi's inexplicable confidence, Chunqin was no longer panicked. Since the lady said so, there must be a reason for her!
