Liu Mu thought about it and agreed.
When He Liugen woke up in the morning, he saw two soaked people kneeling in front of his door.
"Please forgive me, Uncle He!"
He Gulai immediately told them about the trouble they had made with him, and He Liugen angrily said, "Get out of here! Don't come and dirty my land!"
Yuan Ke and Liu Mu immediately felt as if they had been pardoned and ran away with their buttocks between their legs.
Ling Zhi immediately smiled: "Uncle He, you are so kind and righteous. They were planning to burn down your thatched house last night!"
He Liugen was immediately shocked: "What? There is such a thing?"
"Mr. Ling, thank you for punishing them!" He Liugen immediately bowed tremblingly to express his gratitude.
"No need to thank me, it's my daughter who asked me to stay here to prevent Liu Mu and Yuan Ke from harming anyone again!"
Liu Mu and Yuan Ke ran back to the gate of Xiliu Manor. "Yuan Ke, how come we were caught by that secret guard when we went to set the fire?"
Yuan Ke touched his chin and said, "This Ling Zhi is really ruining our plans. So, we~!"
Ning Xiaotang was drinking her morning rice porridge in Shangshui Village, accompanied by two plates of light side dishes.
"Miss, you said that for food like this, our young lady would not say anything, but that Second Madam actually got up early in the morning and asked what kind of food the First Madam prepared. Is it something that people can eat? I was there at the time."
Seeing the stir-fried bok choy and the vinegar-fried Chinese cabbage, she said, "Isn't this a delicious meal? Why is Second Aunt not used to it?"
Quan Yue immediately stepped forward and said, "The Second Madam has been clamoring to go back to the Princess's Mansion. The food there is more exquisite!"
"That's because I'm in the Princess's Mansion, so the food is exquisite. If I'm not in the mansion, you can ask Shi Bo, the food there is just ordinary food."
This is what I said to the Second Madam when I was in the kitchen. You know what the Second Madam said: "Quanyue, you follow Ning Xiaotang every day and you have everything you want. How can you understand my difficulties?"
At this time, Ning Xiaotang took a sip of porridge and picked up a small cabbage and put it in the bowl.
"If she said that, she's just being narrow-minded. She thinks I'm secretly eating something delicious. Actually, I eat the same food as everyone else. It's all cooked by my aunt, so I eat whatever she cooks. Why is she being so fussy?"
Quan Yue immediately said, "Miss, the Second Madam is probably still in the kitchen asking the First Madam to fry two eggs for her!"
"Let her be. My aunt will fry two eggs for her."
Just as I said this, I heard Banyue come to report: "Miss, the second wife was scalded by the oil from the first wife's frying eggs in the kitchen, and she is furious!"
Ning Xiaotang immediately said, "I'll go and take a look." Then Ning Xiaotang put down the bowl of porridge and chopsticks.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Luo Xiangqin had already arrived.
"Second brother, what are you doing in the kitchen? Just for these two fried eggs?"
"Mom, I was just greedy. I didn't get to eat the fried eggs. Look how painful my hand is!"
Hai Moying stretched out his hand, and Luo Xiangqin immediately said, "A Yuan, apply some medicine to the Second Madam."
Liu Ayuan immediately took the medicine and applied a layer of medicated oil on Hai Moying.
Hai Moying immediately said inconspicuously: "Let Liu Mu apply medicine to me!"
Liu Ayuan immediately handed the medicine to the maid Liu Mu.
Liu Mu immediately blew on Hai Moying's hand and said, "Second Madam just wanted to eat two fried eggs. If First Madam didn't want to, she could have just said so. Why did she let Second Madam get burned by the oil? This woman's hand is also very important!"
Chen Ya was immediately furious when he heard this: "I-I told my second sister-in-law that frying eggs would use up a lot of oil, and asked her to stand further away, but she insisted on standing right in front of the pan and watching."
Ning Xiaotang came in and saw the atmosphere. "Auntie, next time anyone dares to ask for more food midway, you make them pay! The processing fee is one tael of silver per time!"
Hai Moying immediately gasped, "The monthly salary is only a dozen or so taels of silver, and one tael of silver is required for one processing? Tangtang, you can't be so partial to Chen Ya!"
Hai Moying's hands were as hot as pig's trotters, and he held them up while they turned red.
"Second Auntie was in a bad mood after getting burned, and I understand that, but this time the burn was all because you stood too close to the pot. And what did the eldest aunt mean? She clearly warned you, didn't she?"
"It's a reminder, but she can't burn me!"
"Who knows where the high-temperature oil will explode?" Chen Ya immediately retorted.
"So my hand got burned in vain?"
"Second aunt, you don't want to blackmail the eldest aunt, do you?" Ning Xiaotang spoke in a baby voice, which startled Hai Moying's face and changed.
"Then I can't suffer in vain!"
"Did you find it yourself? Why do you want to blackmail me?" Chen Ya immediately became excited.
Chen Ya was really panicked. She had fried an egg for her with good intentions, but she got burned and wanted to blackmail her first.
How can we not be urgent?
"Aunt, you scalded Second Aunt with your fried egg. Did you get burned yourself too?"
Ning Xiaotang's little concern immediately made Chen Ya's eyes red.
"Tangtang, my aunt was also burned. She's here." Chen Ya immediately stretched out his left hand.
At first glance, the red burn was no smaller than Hai Moying's.
"Second aunt, look at yourself. First aunt's hand was burned, and she hasn't come to you to settle the score yet, and you're screaming like that!"
Hai Moying immediately noticed the burn on Chen Ya's hand. She shrank her neck and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't even notice you were burned. Don't take it to heart!"
Chen Ya snorted in his heart, but said: "I also burned you, and I burned myself too. What do you think we should do about this?"
Ning Xiaotang immediately said, "Give half of the second aunt's medicated oil to the eldest aunt. This medicated oil is also very good and has a strong therapeutic effect on burns."
After hearing this, Hai Moying nodded slightly and said, "Liu Mu, give half of the medicinal oil to the Madam."
Although she was reluctant to give up this high-quality medicinal oil, she had to give it away in order not to anger the old lady.
Luo Xiangqin immediately said, "Ya'er, you take a day off today. I'll make lunch."
Chen Ya immediately put her hands up and shook her head: "No, mother, Chen Ya is only slightly injured. The kitchen work should be done by my daughter-in-law."
How could she dare to let Luo Xiangqin cook?
What if it was discovered that she had secretly hidden the food? Wouldn’t that ruin her plan?
Seeing Chen Ya working so hard, Luo Xiangqin was very happy: "Then you can take a break in the morning. I'll ask two maids to come over and help."
"No need, mother, I'm not tired. It's just a minor burn. I just need to be careful."
