In the hearts of everyone in the Imperial Capital, Pei Yucheng is the eternal god.
The four great families stand in a four-way stalemate, dividing the wealth and power of Z Country. Yet Pei Y...
"Heh~, so what if they have a marriage certificate?! Can it change the fact that she's not favored?! When the eldest young master agrees to let her sleep in the master bedroom on the third floor, she can be considered the true mistress of the Pei family. But, does she have that ability?! Everyone in the Pei family knows that the eldest young master's true love is Miss Ning. No matter how shamelessly Ji tries to seduce the eldest young master, he won't even look at her. In everyone's heart, Miss Ning is the true mistress. The Pei family's secret guards all obey Miss Ning's orders. Do you know what this means?!"
"No matter what it means, this is the eldest young master's private matter. Don't say anything more. If Chief Steward Liu hears you, you will be kicked out of the Pei family."
"I'm just pissed. Fengning Mountain only produces a batch of 'premium chickens' every five years, and each batch only has twelve, exclusively for the Pei family's Patriarch. They're not even good enough for the Second Young Master and the Young Crown Prince. And now, what happened? Did you hear what the kitchen manager said?! The eldest young master actually gave the order last night to have six chickens delivered by helicopter, one a day for her to supplement. If she eats the premium chicken, what will the eldest young master eat?!"
"..." Listening to the maid's incessant complaints, another maid was speechless. She seemed quite jealous of Ji Yuqi, but... she wasn't as cynical as that maid. The Pei family's patriarch's special chicken was his to give to whomever he pleased. As long as he pleased, servants like them had no right to interfere. No matter how indignant they were, it wouldn't change the facts. If they had anything to blame, they could only blame their bad births, not having powerful tycoon husbands.
…
In the restaurant.
Ji Yuqi stared at the chicken soup in front of him for a long time.
Just now, I heard from the maid that this bowl of chicken soup was made with the best chickens from Fengning Mountain.
The hierarchy of the chaebol circles in Country Z and its affiliated allied countries has always been extremely strict.
In the past, Ji Yuqi always thought that the four major families had already reached the "ceiling" of the chaebol world.
However, at this moment, compared with the Pei family, the four major families that Ji Yuqi was once proud of are clearly at the "floor".
She had never imagined that the Pei family's hierarchy would be so strict.
The planting base in Fengning Mountain alone has fully demonstrated the Pei family's hierarchy system.
The maid said that the crops produced in Fengning Mountain were ostensibly for the enjoyment of the entire Pei family's huge clan, but in reality, every scallion produced in Fengning Mountain was divided into different grades and distributed from the head of the Pei family down to the lower levels according to their social status.
The maid also said that as the direct descendant of the Pei family, even if Ji Niancheng was included in the family genealogy and became a true prince, he could only get second-class items from Fengning Mountain in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities.
In the Pei family, only the head of the family is of the special class.
No matter how noble the status of anyone else is, including the Pei family's Buddha and Pei Quyan, they can only enjoy the first class at best.
However, the premium chickens from Fengning Mountain belong to the “special class” category.
The maid said that the expensiveness of high-quality chicken cannot be measured by money, and even the nutritional value of every drop of blood is immeasurable.
However, Pei Yucheng actually gave her the best chicken to nourish her body.
I caught six at once.
Ji Yuqi lowered her eyes and slowly stirred the chicken soup with a spoon. At that moment, a myriad of emotions surged in her heart, beyond words...
