Second wife Xiao came hurriedly from Yaxinyuan with doubts, and spotted Jiang Si at first sight.

It was not completely dark yet, and although the lights were on in the house, they were not very bright.

The girl turned her head and raised the corners of her lips slightly, and the room was immediately filled with light.

Xiao began to feel sour in his heart.

The old man was appointed Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department, a fourth-rank official in the capital. This was much better than those noble children who only received salaries but had no real power. This was also the reason why her daughter was able to marry into the marquis's mansion.

What the Changxing Marquisate valued was never the status of their daughter as a young lady from the Marquisate, but the master's own abilities and future potential.

However, Xiao still felt a little regretful.

Two years ago, Prince Lu, the fifth son of the current emperor, was choosing a wife. The final candidate did not come from an outstanding family, but she was extremely beautiful.

Qian'er also attended the princess selection banquet at that time. If Qian'er had looked like Jiang Si, she might have been the Princess of Lu.

No matter how good the Changxing Marquis' Mansion is, it is still a far cry from the position of princess.

Of course, Xiao only dared to think about it in his heart.

Jiang Qian's marriage was a matter of pride. If outsiders knew that she still felt regretful about her daughter marrying into the Changxing Marquis's Mansion, they would inevitably be ridiculed.

"The old lady hasn't rested yet." Xiao greeted Old Lady Feng with a smile.

Jiang Si stood up and bowed slightly to Xiao: "Second Aunt."

"The fourth young lady came to pay her respects to the old lady?" Xiao said in a friendly manner. "We should really let Li'er and Pei'er learn from the fourth young lady. I spoiled those two girls and they are not sensible at all."

A mocking smile flashed across Jiang Si's lips.

The "Li'er" and "Pei'er" mentioned by Xiao are the fifth girl Jiang Li and the sixth girl Jiang Pei respectively.

Jiang Li and Jiang Pei were both girls from the second wife's house, but they were concubines' daughters. Naturally, Xiao could casually say something bad about them, and it could also show the love of the legitimate mother for the concubine's daughters.

Old Madam Feng coughed lightly and glanced at the food on the table.

Xiao was stunned, then suppressed his surprise and laughed: "This is——"

She had just hinted to Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen, in the morning, and Jiang Si came to complain to the old lady in the evening?

Xiao couldn't help but glance at Jiang Si.

The girl's face was calm, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Xiao was completely unable to believe it.

She has always been the housekeeper in this mansion. How dare Jiang Si, a little girl who has lost her mother and whose engagement just broke off, do this!

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't a little girl behave herself and keep a low profile?

After this girl has suffered for a few days and knows her own worth, she will naturally hint to Mrs. Liu to stop doing anything tricky.

Xiao's performance obviously pleased Jiang Si, and the corners of the girl's lips became more curved.

In her previous life, she was a picky person who cared a lot about her reputation. If Xiao had done that at that time, she would not have been willing to ask her father and brother for help, nor would she have wanted her grandmother to look down on her. In all likelihood, she would have temporarily endured it and thought of a more appropriate way to resolve the issue.

But now, if fame can't make her life more comfortable, it's bullshit, and no one can make her unhappy.

"Let Second Aunt know that this is the lunch and dinner sent to Haitangju." Jiang Si said with a cold face.

"What's wrong with the food?" Xiao pretended to be confused.

"It's hard to swallow." Jiang Si said directly, "Ah Fu and Ah Xi have both tasted it. If Second Aunt doesn't believe it, you can try it yourself."

Mrs. Xiao's face changed color: "What the fourth lady said makes Auntie uncomfortable. If the fourth lady doesn't eat well, just tell Auntie. Auntie will definitely give the cook a good scolding to vent her anger on the fourth lady."

"How does Second Aunt plan to teach the cook?" Jiang Si smiled. "I remember that the one in charge of the kitchen is Mrs. Liu, right?"

Xiao's expression just now was just an act, but now her expression really changed. She asked with a friendly smile, "How does the fourth lady want the aunt to teach the cook?"

As an elder, she was so humble. If Jiang Siruo acted aggressively, she would not get any good result with the old lady. If word got out, the servants in the mansion would think that the fourth lady was mean and was making things difficult for the servants.

Jiang Si pointed at the dishes on the table and sneered: "If you say one dish is badly cooked, it may be a mistake, but it is so that all four dishes and one soup are inedible. If you say one meal is badly cooked, it may be that the cook is still asleep, but it is so that for both meals."

Jiang looked at Xiao with a half-smile: "If you can't tell right from wrong, you might think that Second Aunt said something to the kitchen manager, so the kitchen used such a meal to embarrass my niece."

Xiao's face was completely embarrassed: "Fourth Miss, you are making Auntie sad by saying this. Auntie has been the housekeeper for a year or two. Am I such a person?"

"Why are you so anxious, aunt? Didn't I tell you that only people who can't tell right from wrong can make such misunderstandings? Could it be that aunt thinks your niece can't tell right from wrong?"

"Of course not..." Xiao forced a smile.

Jiang Si asked questions one after another, so frankly and without disguising anything, that Xiao, who was used to talking to the point, felt overwhelmed.

Jiang Si's face straightened, "Since Second Aunt didn't know about the kitchen matter, then Mrs. Liu is deceiving her superiors and hiding the truth from her subordinates, and wants to teach me a lesson about being a servant who bullies his master. Second Aunt, how do you think such a servant should be punished so that other servants can learn from her mistakes?"

"This..." Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Since Mrs. Liu has failed in her duties, let her give up her job in the kitchen and work in the sewing room."

Mrs. Liu was acting according to her instructions. Going to the sewing room would cause her considerable losses compared to the job of managing the kitchen. If she was fined more severely, it would discourage those who worked for her.

"Second aunt only sent a servant who bullied her master to the needlework room. She is really kind-hearted. But I wonder what she would do if it was Second Sister who was bullied by Mrs. Liu?" Jiang Si asked bluntly.

Xiao had never expected Jiang Si to dare to speak so harshly, so she insisted, "Mrs. Liu has been working in the kitchen for many years and has always been very accommodating. Even if your second sister has encountered this, you can't leave the old servant no chance to survive and disappoint her."

Haha, Qian'er has been married for a long time anyway, so of course she won't encounter such a thing.

Jiang Si frowned, "Second Aunt is right. How could a person who has been in charge of the kitchen for many years and has always been very competent suddenly become confused? It seems that it is not as simple as a servant bullying his master."

When Xiao heard this, her face turned even worse.

Or maybe it's the slave who is bullying the master, otherwise wouldn't it be her who ordered it?

As Xiao's expression changed, Jiang Si knelt down to Old Madam Feng and said, "Grandmother, you are very wise. Why don't you give your granddaughter some guidance? Why did Granny Liu suddenly make such a fuss?"

"Why else could it be? That old slave must have been blinded by greed!" Xiao hastily replied, deciding to abandon Mrs. Liu as a chess piece. "Fourth Miss is right. We cannot tolerate servants who bully their masters. Let her family go to the farm in the suburbs of Beijing to dig the land. What do you think, Fourth Miss?"

Jiang Si nodded reluctantly: "Since Second Auntie said so, I won't care about it. After all, Mrs. Liu still has a family to live for."

All that's left of the Xiao family is hehe.

It's you who doesn't leave any chance for others to live, you sharp-tongued girl!

Jiang Si bowed to Old Madam Feng leisurely, "Grandma, I will not disturb you from resting."

She nodded slightly, and Ah Man and Ah Qiao immediately cleared away all the food on the table.

Seeing that Jiang Si no longer asked for dowry, Old Madam Feng wished she would leave, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Jiang Si walked briskly to the door, as if he remembered something, turned around and smiled, "My second sister came back today, and I heard that she didn't go to my second aunt's place. Don't be sad, second aunt, who knows, my second sister might come again in two days."

She said, and walked away.

Old Madam Feng glanced at Xiao coldly with an unfriendly look on her face.

Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Si, this damn girl, actually dug a trap for her before leaving!
