Xie Jingrun glanced at her and said, "I'll let it go this time, but you're not allowed to cook noodles again next time."
Rong Qingqing nodded, "I understand. Then please wait in the front hall, my lord. I'll bring it to you when it's cooked."
"Mm," Xie Jingrun responded, and walked towards the front hall.
"My lord, do you know which types of people in this world you should never offend?" Rong Qingqing suddenly asked.
Xie Jingrun paused slightly, turning his head to look at her. "What?"
Rong Qingqing blinked and said casually, "A cook is one of them. You never know if they might spit in your food or add something else." After saying that, she ignored the man's darkening face and took Xiao Tao to the kitchen.
Xiao Tao followed behind her cautiously. How dare Miss say such a thing? Even she could understand the meaning, so how could the Marquis not understand?
In case the Marquis flies into a rage...
She just saw that the Marquis's face had turned black; it was terrifying.
After Rong Qingqing and her servant had walked away, Xie Jingrun came back to his senses, a shadow passing over his brow.
He couldn't help but suspect that the dishes this woman had cooked in the past might have been unclean, or that she might have spat on them...
Thinking of this possibility, he frowned deeply.
Rong, Qing, Qing!
He gritted his teeth!
The footsteps that were originally heading towards the front hall suddenly changed, and the person went towards the kitchen instead.
If Rong Qingqing really dares to add anything to the dish, she's doomed.
Since it was just noodles, Rong Qingqing went to the main kitchen to get some ingredients and then went back to the small kitchen in Qinfangyuan to cook them.
"Miss, why did you say that just now?" Xiao Tao was still shaken, afraid that the Marquis would get angry and they, mistress and servant, would be in deep trouble.
Rong Qingqing was actually a little scared, afraid that Xie Jingrun would suddenly draw his knife and attack her.
But at that moment, she didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to get revenge on Xie Jingrun and let him know that although she couldn't shake him, she wasn't someone to be trifled with.
If she angered him, she would tamper with his food.
"I can't just let him bully me without fighting back, can I?" she said with a sigh, seemingly indifferent. Thinking about Xie Jingrun's dark expression earlier, she felt a sense of satisfaction; she figured Xie Jingrun was probably traumatized by now.
Even if she didn't actually do anything, he'll definitely have a lingering fear when he eats in the future.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao couldn't help but remind him, "But I've heard that the Marquis is cruel, eccentric, and ruthless. What if we anger him..."
Rong Qingqing said seriously, "I know, I won't provoke him again next time." She wanted to stay alive and enjoy life, how could she be defeated like this? She shouldn't be so impulsive next time. It wasn't worth risking her life just to spite Xie Jingrun.
However, after this incident, Xie Jingrun probably won't let him cook again.
Thinking it was the last time she would cook for Xie Jingrun, Rong Qingqing made the noodles exceptionally delicious; the aroma could be smelled from a great distance.
She and Xiaotao hadn't eaten yet, so she cooked two more bowls.
When the noodles were ready, Xiao Tao's mouth was practically watering.
"Miss, this noodle smells delicious."
"It smells good, right? We'll be able to eat it in a bit." Rong Qingqing smiled as she put the noodles into a bowl.
"I'll take the Marquis's portion over," Xiao Tao said. That way, if the Marquis was still angry about what happened earlier, he wouldn't be able to take it out on the young lady.
Rong Qingqing understood her concerns and felt a warmth in her heart. "No need, you eat first, I'll take it over myself."
