Chapter 3: Snob



"Grandma...you..." Xiangyun looked at Su Nuannuan's sparkling eyes and scratched her head in confusion: "I always feel that there seems to be something different about you, but Sister Honglian doesn't let me say anything nonsense."

"Nonsense, how can it be the same? Don't forget, I died once." Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes at Xiangyun: "How do you think I came back to life? The King of Hell said that my life span has not yet ended and I should not die. In order to express their apology for detaining the wrong soul, they also gave me some skills."

"Grandma's words...how come I can't understand anything?" Xiangyun looked at Su Nuannuan eagerly, thinking that Sister Honglian was right, Grandma was indeed different, but she is so nice now. If it were in the past, I wouldn't dare to talk to Grandma like this.

"Well, it's right that you don't understand." Su Nuannuan muttered. Seeing Xiangyun's eyes widened instantly, she coughed quickly and said seriously: "Anyway, you just know that grandma is a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Now your grandma has been reborn, do you understand? There is no need to understand. How can a little servant like you understand a peerless beauty like my grandma who is wise and brave, born with intelligence, and has skin as white as snow and bones as jade?" Huh, the last sentence was so disgusting that Su Nuannuan almost vomited because of her unprecedented narcissism.

"Haha, it really is grandma. She used to say this a lot." Xiangyun jumped three feet high with joy: "Great, it really is grandma. I've been having nightmares these past two days. I dreamed that grandma turned into another person."

Oh! Did that woman often say such things before? This... How thick-skinned she must be. Su Nuannuan wiped the cold sweat from her head, thinking that this little girl was easy to deceive, but that Honglian seemed not so easy to deceive. Fortunately, I inherited the memory of this body, so if she tried to test me, it would not be difficult for me. Most importantly, I have a perfect excuse of resurrection from the dead. A woman who has been back from the underworld, you should allow her to change appropriately.

"Grandma, Xiangyun..."

Suddenly, they heard Honglian's voice coming from the back door. Su Nuannuan and Xiangyun turned around quickly and saw Honglian standing in the sun, but with a sad expression on her face.

"What's wrong? Didn't you get anything from the kitchen?"

Su Nuannuan patted her clothes randomly and walked over quickly. Just by looking at Honglian's expression, she understood.

"Grandma, the kitchen asked me to talk to Grandma Yun about this. They said they dare not give us things carelessly, otherwise they will not be able to do anything if the accounts are not reconciled in the future." Honglian sighed and shook her head helplessly, "Otherwise, let's wait a little longer. I will go to talk to Grandma Yun this afternoon."

"Go and tell Grandma Yun? And then you'll be mocked and scolded by her maids?" Su Nuannuan snorted coldly: This is the big mansion, what does it mean that a phoenix in trouble is worse than a chicken? Here you can get the most realistic interpretation.

"Otherwise, grandma, just forget about it. The kitchen won't dare not send food over, right? Isn't it nice to eat whatever is available?"

Honglian felt very sad for her grandmother, but now they were in a state of poverty. The young marquis loved beauties, had great power, was a big shot in front of the emperor, and was the cousin and best friend of the princes. The women he could take into his mansion were all of good family background and appearance. However, in her grandmother's family, the Duke of Ping's mansion, everyone was now a slave. In this mansion, they had no room to speak.

"Rely on them? They can't even make good food out of good ingredients, and wasting them is the most shameful thing." Su Nuannuan frowned slightly and murmured, "Fortunately, it's spring now, and the vegetables in the backyard will be ready to eat in a few days, but you can't expect me to make the rice, flour and seasonings, right? The kitchen... Humph! Since when did the people in the kitchen dare to turn their eyes on me?"

Honglian smiled bitterly, thinking that it had always been like this in the mansion. Not to mention the kitchen, even a maid who was sweeping the yard dared to glare at her. How could she expect the people in the kitchen to treat them well? Honglian now admired her grandmother's optimism. She actually wanted to eat well? In her opinion, she was afraid that in ten days or half a month, the kitchen would probably not send food to them. By then, even if they didn't want to fend for themselves, they would not be able to survive.

Su Nuannuan didn't expect that the first step of becoming self-reliant would encounter such a severe test. She tilted her head and thought for a long time. She really didn't want to go to the kitchen to make a scene, but now it was obvious that if she didn't go, her future survival would be in jeopardy.

"What do you mean? I don't even have a dowry or anything?"

Back in the house, Su Nuannuan sat on a chair and started thinking quickly. At least those modern novels about house fighting were not read in vain. She quickly thought of the dowry issue: Anping Marquis's Mansion was not as rich as a country, but it was almost as rich. Duan Tingxuan, that scumbag, shouldn't be so shameless as to take his wife's dowry into his pocket? If she asked him to spit out some of it, it should probably not be a problem, right?

"Grandma, of course, had a dowry. It was only because something happened in the Duke of Ping's Mansion that I managed to get that result. Otherwise, with the emperor's wrath, I'm afraid the Duke of Ping's Mansion would have been confiscated and exterminated long ago. Grandma and I had a big fight before, and I was so angry that I put you under house arrest here. I also told grandma very clearly that the management cost thousands of gold, and you squandered a lot of grandma's dowry...so..."

Su Nuannuan waved her hand: "Okay, I understand, so my dowry has been spent, right? Strictly speaking, I still owe that bastard Duan Tingxuan thousands of gold, right?"

Looking at the shocked expressions of the two maids, she finally remembered that what she said was a little unreliable, so she immediately knocked her head and said, "Ahem... That, I remember it too. Alas! It's probably a problem left over from the previous incident where I almost died by hanging. My memory is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and I forget things all the time."

"Grandma is lucky to have survived. It's not a big deal that her memory is sometimes good and sometimes bad." Seeing that her grandmother looked annoyed, Honglian hurriedly spoke to comfort her, not knowing that Su Nuannuan was beating her chest and stamping her feet in her heart, thinking that it's really not good if she's not professional. Her acting skills are too bad. It's been two days, and she still can't get into the role. Her acting skills need to be improved.

"Grandma, what should we do now?" Xiangyun now completely regards her grandmother as her backbone. The more she thinks about it, the more worrying the future becomes, so she can't help but ask Su Nuannuan for advice, completely forgetting that Honglian was responsible for such brainstorming in the past.

"What else can I do? I have to go to the kitchen myself." Su Nuannuan slammed the table and stood up: Humph! You forced me to do this, you scumbag. Su Mengnuan and you have been married for three years. It's not too much to ask you to pay for the loss of your youth, right? It's just some rice, flour, oil and salt. Speaking of it, I have to pay less for the loss. Well, I have decided. I have to ask for it more times, otherwise it will be too much. Although Su Mengnuan is dead, as her spokesperson, I have the right to get this compensation for her.
