Xi Cha was young and served the legitimate daughter Lan Qin in the Lingzhu Mansion, so she had never been so neglected in these matters.
She said indignantly, "Why did Princess Yin take her breakfast just now? We arrived first, why can't we take our food?"
As soon as she said this, Lülan quickly pulled her aside. But the eunuch Huang's expression had already changed. He abandoned the two maids, ignored them, and went to inspect the kitchen.
