No matter what, Chu Qingniang is still the benefactor of the Qi family. Even this huge mansion was built by the lady herself.

Qi Che's behavior was too heartless. Was he trying to starve people to death?

Qi Che, however, gave the housekeeper a cold look: "If the shop problem is not solved, the whole family will have to starve. I don't mean that you really want to starve her to death, but I just want to pretend to temper her temper. Do you understand what I mean?"

She was so disregarding of their old relationship and so cruel to ruin his reputation that he only let her starve for two days was already considered merciful.

A drop of cold sweat dripped down the butler's forehead. "Yes, I understand."

The next morning.

In the kitchen of the Qi Mansion, several maids were eating melon seeds under the stove. Suddenly.

With a "bang", the door was kicked open from the outside. Nanny Li was so scared that she jumped up from the stool.

"Miss Zhixia, what are you doing? Who provoked you?"

Zhixia didn't say anything and appeared in front of the rice jar in a flash.

She opened the heavy wooden lid with one hand, picked up the cloth bag beside her with the other hand, and filled half of the bag with rice with a "clatter".

"Rebellion! They're going to rebel!" Nanny Li screamed and was about to rush over to stop them, but Zhixia easily dodged them by turning sideways.

Nanny Li didn't have time to stop, and she crashed into the stove with a thud, and immediately saw stars.

"Someone come! There's a robbery going on!"

Five or six servants immediately surrounded them, trying to stop them, but Zhixia just tiptoed up into the air, stepped on everyone's shoulders and lightly jumped to the pickling rack.

"then!"

Zhixia waved her arm, and three strings of bacon flew through the air. The old women hurriedly dodged, but the bacon hit the wall with a "bang", raising dust everywhere.

"This, this is saved for the New Year..." Nanny Li beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Zhixia turned a deaf ear to him and moved around the kitchen like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, she had cleared out all the fresh vegetables on the chopping board, the eggs in the cupboard, and the smoked fish hanging on the beam.

Finally, she announced arrogantly: "Tell Qi Che that if he wants to starve my young lady to death, he has to tear down the entire Qi Mansion!"

After saying that, she picked up the bulging cloth bag with one hand and walked towards the door with a swagger. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw five or six servants holding bundles blocking the way.
