Qian Ruoyu then looked at Li Zhiyi seriously and found that Li Zhiyi had clenched her fists tightly.

But Qian Ruoyu did not let Yan'er and Xiaohong let go of Dan'er. Instead, she asked them to hold Dan'er all the time.

After being punished by Qian Ruoyu for several times, Dan'er felt pain in several places on her body, but she couldn't cry out at all because she felt extremely wronged.

This master and servant seemed to be connected to each other, and they both felt wronged at the same time.

Qian Ruoyu said calmly.

"What's wrong? Did I punish your maid on purpose?"

"Your maid said it herself. She soiled your food, so she must be punished. This is the palace, not your vegetable garden!"

"Since the prince is not here, I am qualified to enforce the family law on his behalf. And as far as I know, this is only the mildest punishment. If the family law is really to be enforced, I am afraid I will have to go to the ancestral hall to get the red-headed stick!"

Li Zhiyi trembled when she heard these words.

Dan'er also trembled.

There was indeed a red-headed stick in the ancestral hall, which was a stick used to enforce family rules.

As the saying goes, family rules, Chu Mobai did not make any regulations, but Qian Ruoyu, as the mistress of the palace, was qualified to enforce them.

Now Qian Ruoyu was only using a few slaps to punish Daner. If he really used the red-headed stick, Daner would probably be covered in bruises.

Daner began to feel a little bit of fear.

Li Zhiyi said even more worriedly.

"You... Qian Ruoyu, I advise you not to do anything rash... I admit that Dan'er did make a small mistake in this matter... But, but I don't blame her!"

Qian Ruoyu finally realized at this time that Li Zhiyi was not as angry as before, and was actually trying to reason with her.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly to Li Zhiyi.

"What's wrong? Are you now able to reason? So you know how to reason?"

This matter is exactly the same as the previous one. It is not a big deal or a small matter, but if you really look into it, it is bound to be related to family rules.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zhiyi is so scared and chooses to reason at this time.

Li Zhiyi said with some stammering.

"You...I...When have I ever been unreasonable? I have actually forgiven my maid. Then there is no need for my maid to continue to be punished. She was just careless."

Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, then continued.

"You are right, but I am not punishing Dan'er for dirtying your food, but for wasting food. You know that food is very important nowadays. It is shameful to waste food like this!"

After saying that, Qian Ruoyu slapped Dan'er again, which scared Dan'er.

Dan'er had become a little nervous because of Qian Ruoyu's slap, so when she saw this slap just now, she was immediately shocked.

Li Zhiyi quickly walked over a few steps, stretched out her hand and spoke slowly.

"Qian Ruoyu... I, listen to me, I won't come to the kitchen, okay? This matter is written off, I will take my maid back to my yard and starve right now, and I will never tell the prince about this!"

"I just need you to let Daner go."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu finally waved his hand with satisfaction.

Xiaohong and Yan'er then let go of Dan'er, and Dan'er immediately came to Li Zhiyi's side.

But just after she came to Li Zhiyi's side, Dan'er actually started crying out of grievance.

Qian Ruoyu threatened coldly.

"Keep crying."

"Keep crying. You've already cried like this in front of me. Who knows how you'll cry in front of the prince?"

Li Zhiyi hurriedly comforted Daner and said to Daner at the same time.

"Okay, Dan'er, don't be like this..."

Dan'er finally stopped crying, but when facing Qian Ruoyu, she had already begun to suffer psychological trauma.

I just caught Daner and slapped her a few times, but it made her so scared.

That kind of tremendous psychological pressure was not something Daner could bear.

Li Zhiyi asked: "Can we go now?"

After hearing this question, Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly, and Li Zhiyi then hurriedly took her maid Dan'er and left the path in front of the kitchen.

But looking at the way the two people walked, Qian Ruoyu could tell that Dan'er and Li Zhiyi were indeed not full.

Next, Qian Ruoyu just asked Xiaohong to continue standing guard here, and then he took Yan'er back to the kitchen and asked Fatty Wang for a meal.

Qian Ruoyu pointed at the food on the stone table and said to Yan'er.

"You can send these to Li Zhiyi. They seem to be starving."

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Yan'er hurriedly picked up the food on the table and went towards Li Zhiyi's yard.

Just when Dan'er arrived at the gate of the yard, Li Zhiyi and the other person also appeared at the gate. They had just returned.

"Greetings, Madam Concubine. This is something our Madam personally asked me to send over."

Yan'er said to the two of them.

Yan'er's words were even more perfect, without any flaws at all. She was polite and had substance.

Li Zhiyi took a look at the food and thought it was just some pickles, but she didn't expect to see two bowls of meat dishes in it.

Daner swallowed hard after seeing this.

Afterwards, Li Zhiyi asked Dan'er to take the food away, and Yan'er hurriedly returned to the kitchen alone, fearing that she would also be detained there.

The Concubine is not a good person to begin with. If she directly detains Yan'er because of what happened just now, it would be a loss instead of gain. It would be safer for her to just leave quietly.

After making sure that there was no problem with Li Zhiyi, Qian Ruoyu felt a little relieved. At this time, the celebration banquet in the kitchen had already begun.

The entire dining room was set up with a banquet. There were nearly eighty dishes on a long table, and most of them were meat dishes, which were not often seen on ordinary days.

Some of the younger ones were ready to pick up their chopsticks, but were stumped by the older ones next to them. At the same time, they all looked at Qian Ruoyu, as if waiting for her to speak.

After all, the master hasn't spoken yet, how dare they take action first?

This reminded Qian Ruoyu that there are also some places like this in modern times.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu waved his hand and said without hesitation.

"Since this is a celebration banquet, why are you waiting for me? Just eat your food. This princess is also going to feast on it!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Qian Ruoyu stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork in front of him, and put it in his bowl. Seeing Qian Ruoyu like this, everyone stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the dishes.

There were bursts of laughter and joy coming from the kitchen.
