After being thrown out of the courtyard by two rough maids, Zhang, the cook, scrambled to Chen's courtyard.

Aunt Chen lay on her side on the daybed, not worried at all when she saw Zhang the cook's miserable state. She casually asked, "Zhang the cook, what happened?"

Cook Zhang knelt on the ground with a thud, wailing, "Waaah, my lady! It's one thing for the madam to bully me, her servant, but she actually said that you're just a slave, a servant, and that she could sell you off if she wanted. She even told you not to be arrogant, my lady."

"Waaah, Madam doesn't even respect you..."

Aunt Chen could no longer remain calm. She sat up abruptly from the daybed, her previous leisurely demeanor completely gone.

With a dark expression, she forced out a sentence through gritted teeth, "Does that old hen that can't lay eggs really dare to say that about me?"

“Replying to your question, my lady, this is absolutely true! Waaah, she even said that she is the mistress and you are the slave, so please don’t be so arrogant…” Cook Zhang embellished the story, recounting how Madam Hu had belittled Concubine Chen.

"Bang!"

Enraged, Aunt Chen swept all the teacups and teapots off the small table. Her eyes blazed with fury as she glared venomously in the direction of Madam Hu's courtyard. Then, she spat out a vicious sentence through gritted teeth, "Heh heh heh, Madam Hu, just you and I will see who comes out on top!"

Su Wanwan, who was fast asleep, was completely unaware of this.

The next morning, sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the earth.

As the first rays of morning sunlight greeted her, Su Wanwan slowly woke up.

As usual, Zisu helped Su Wanwan get dressed and wash up. Meanwhile, Zimu went to the kitchen to get Su Wanwan's breakfast.

At this moment, Zisu is holding an exquisite jade comb and skillfully combing Su Wanwan's hair.

She frowned, looking somewhat preoccupied. "Sigh, I wonder if the kitchen will skimp on your meals again today, Miss. If they do, will you still be having breakfast at Madam's courtyard today?"

Su Wanwan smiled slightly, confidently saying, "Hehehe, don't worry, Mother will teach those unruly servants a lesson for me."

She suddenly went to Mr. Hu's place for dinner last night, and Mr. Hu and his people will find out why she suddenly went to freeload.

Since Madam Hu so desperately wanted to avoid seeing her, she would naturally smooth things over for her.

Besides, Su Wanwan already knew that the cook Zhang, who was skimping on her meals, was a distant relative of Aunt Chen. If Madam Hu found out, she certainly wouldn't let go of any opportunity to put Aunt Chen in her place.

Based on the original owner's memories of Madam Hu, Su Wanwan was quite certain that Madam Hu would severely punish Chef Zhang, thus giving Aunt Chen a good slap in the face!

Hehehe, let's fight, let's fight fiercely.

The fiercer the fight between the two, the greater the enmity will become, which will be more advantageous to her.

In that case, it would be even more difficult for Jiang Wan'er to gain a foothold in the household. As for climbing the social ladder to the Crown Prince, that would be nothing but a pipe dream!

Just as Zisu finished combing Su Wanwan's hair, Zimu rushed back in a hurry, carrying a food box.

"Miss, something big has happened, hahaha." Zi Mu said, placing the food box on the table.

She looked excited, her eyes shining, and her face beaming with joy.

Su Wanwan smiled and said, "Zimu, judging from your expression, do you have some good news to tell me?"

"Miss, you wouldn't believe it! When I went to the main kitchen to get your meals just now, I saw Cook Zhang. And look what she did! Her lips were so swollen, like she'd been stung by a bee. She looked so pitiful, and so funny, hehehe~~"

As he spoke, Zi Mu couldn't help but laugh a few more times, his laughter carrying a hint of personal grudges.
