"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt Li." Yi felt a warm glow in her heart.
Li Ma appeared flattered and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Young Madam, you're too kind. As servants, it's our duty to do whatever we need to do for our masters."
As they were talking, Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen and was slightly surprised to see Li Ma.
Li Ma glanced at the dining table and saw that there was only a cold bread and milk on it; her face immediately fell.
"Xiao Zhang, what's going on? You fed the young mistress this this morning? Even we servants wouldn't eat this stuff, how dare you give it to her?!"
"I..." Aunt Zhang was a little flustered, and glanced at Yi Yi, "This...it's the young mistress who said...that breakfast should be simple. Besides, isn't bread and milk quite nutritious?"
Yi Yi: "..." She does dislike trouble and feels that too many breakfast options are a waste, but she has never said anything about eating a simple breakfast.
What's more, when Mu Nanxun was at home a few days ago, she would make a variety of breakfasts, and every morning the table would be full. But on her first day away on a business trip, all that was left for breakfast was bread and milk.
For Yi Yi, what she ate wasn't important; what mattered was that Aunt Zhang was using her as a front to fool Li Ma. Did she think Yi Yi was easygoing and easy to bully?
“I never said that.”
Yi denied it.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang opened her mouth as if to defend herself, but after glancing at Yi Yi, she swallowed back what she was about to say.
That look again!
Her eyes made it seem as if she were a monster who would devour people without spitting out the bones.
Li Ma was experienced after all, and she knew what was going on at a glance. She loudly reminded everyone in the villa, as if she wanted everyone in the villa to hear her.
"Xiao Zhang, don't think you can fool the young mistress just because the young master isn't here. Let me tell you, the young mistress is the young master's darling, and he will never allow her to suffer the slightest grievance. This morning when the young master called me, he specifically instructed me that if anyone tries to wrong the young mistress, I can punish that person on his behalf. When he returns from his business trip, he will personally teach them a lesson."
Sure enough, after mentioning Mu Nanxun, Aunt Zhang's attitude improved significantly.
“Sister Li, look at what you’re saying. We treat the young master and young mistress the same. We just moved into this villa not long ago and have been so busy that we neglected to prepare breakfast for the young mistress. Please wait, I’ll go make it for her right away…”
"Look at the time! Breakfast? We should be preparing lunch. Oh, and I've compiled a list of the dishes the young mistress and young master like, as well as their preferred flavors. Take a good look at it and memorize it. Otherwise, you'll be in a rush and make mistakes."
As she spoke, Li Ma handed a document to Zhang Auntie.
Goodness, this needs to be documented? It's so formal and serious!
Aunt Zhang silently accepted it, "Yes, then I'll go prepare it right away."
Then he turned and walked into the kitchen.
Li Ma still maintained her airs, directing the remaining servants, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go help in the kitchen. If you used the time you spend gossiping to do things, there's nothing you can't do well."
"Yes, Aunt Li—" Several maids also lowered their heads and jogged into the kitchen.
After they all left, Yi Yi gave Li Ma a thumbs up. "Li Ma, you're amazing! You have such a knack for scolding people."
