Xixi gave us so much delicious food, so naturally it should be eaten by our own people. We can't let those heartless bastards get away with it!
They don't deserve it!
The things Xixi brought back are treasures, they are so precious!
After being reprimanded, the people in the manor became much more obedient and dared not run around, fearing that they might accidentally offend some master and get another beating!
That's no joke!
You can't understand it unless you experience the pain yourself!
Who would want to go back covered in injuries?
After returning, I still have to drag myself to work; there's no time to rest!
In this mansion, one must learn to assess the situation, adapt to changing circumstances, and feign ignorance when necessary!
If you don't understand your place in the world, things could get really bad!
There are only a few true masters in the mansion; those concubines and such don't count!
Even the children born to concubines are only half masters and can't make any decisions!
Everything was fine when the young lady was still alive, but ever since she disappeared, things have slowly started to change in the manor!
Those concubines thought they could turn the tide and jumped around wildly, but they were just relying on the Marquis's favor to act recklessly!
The eldest son is no pushover. He usually appears gentle and easy to talk to, and seems easy to bully. Who would have thought that he would suddenly change his personality!
When it comes to dealing with people, they show no mercy or leniency, and their attitude towards others is cold and indifferent!
The old lady and the Marquis both tacitly approved and supported the eldest son in disciplining the others, so how dare the subordinates still be so presumptuous!
Most importantly, the two young masters later started to do the same thing!
The concubines cried and begged the Marquis to make a decision, but the Marquis simply used the excuse of having a headache and feeling unwell to avoid the matter, and even told the concubines to listen to the eldest son, which made the concubines furious!
After a lot of cleanup, many people in the manor were sold off, and many new people were added. In short, anyone who is unruly, doesn't follow the rules, or doesn't know their place will only be sold off!
The eldest son shows no mercy; once someone has his eye on you, no amount of persuasion will work!
The eldest son's simple statement, "I'm worried that more people might go missing," silenced the master above!
Because everyone knows that the young lady disappeared because she was betrayed!
When the old lady and the marquis heard about the eldest daughter, they were so saddened that they lost all interest in managing anything and just let the eldest son do as he pleased!
In this household, the old lady makes the decisions on important matters, while the eldest young master makes the decisions on minor matters!
The worst thing on the road is running into the young master. He'll scrutinize you, and it'll send chills down your spine!
Even if you haven't done anything wrong, you have to be extremely careful!
After tidying everyone up, Su Luolin happily started preparing hot pot!
He found it very interesting that eating with family was perfect – it allowed them to share delicious food and strengthen their bonds!
However, none of the people in the Marquis's mansion had ever eaten it before, and they were very puzzled, not knowing how to eat it!
"Brother! You called us to eat this? These vegetables are all raw!"
"Yeah! Bro, where did you learn this new way of eating? It's so weird! We've never seen anything like it before. There's practically nothing in the pot, so what are we going to eat?"
"I told you you guys were ignorant, but you wouldn't believe me! This is the newest and hottest way to eat it. Others have to order it ten days or half a month in advance! I've prepared everything I need and brought it back, so we can eat it at home. It's so much more convenient! If we want to eat it again, we can make it anytime!"
"Brother Lin, how are we supposed to eat this? I'm totally confused. There's raw meat and cooked meat. Are we going to stew it all together? Is it some kind of fresh mixed stew?"
"Grandma, no! Alright, enough talk, let me demonstrate for you! You'll see how in a moment! I guarantee you'll want to come back for more!"
So everyone's eyes turned to Su Luolin. It looked so simple, she must be able to do it at a glance!
They're so smart, they don't need to learn much at all!
However, they had never eaten like this before, and they had to do it themselves, which made them a little uncomfortable!
Normally, the servants would prepare the food properly and serve it on the table for the children to eat. What kind of family prepares their own food like this?
Given her status and her airs, she still can't quite let loose!
"It's alright! I've made all the arrangements. There are guards outside, no one will dare to break in! The door is closed, and there's no one else around, just the few of us. Don't be shy, relax and give it a try, it's really a lot of fun! Mmm! It smells so good!"
Su Luolin said to them while scalding the vegetables.
Seeing that they were still looking at each other blankly, holding their heads high and unable to relax, he simply cooked the food, put it in their bowls, and let them taste it first. Once they knew how it tasted, they would gradually get into it!
He was like that back then too!
snort!
We dare not move now, but in the end, who knows who will be the one making the most moves!
"Mmm! Delicious! It really tastes different! I want to try it too! It's so good!"
"Indeed! Brother Lin, where did you learn this? I don't think we've ever heard of this way of eating in the capital!"
"Eat more if you like it! Grandma, I learned this from out of town! Don't worry, it won't be long before there are shops like this in our capital! If you like it, Grandma, I'll take you there to join the fun!"
"Great! Suddenly I feel like there might not be enough to eat! I haven't had enough! Haha!"
"Grandma, these vegetables are delicious! You should try them!"
"well!"
"Brother, I want to go with you next time! I'll save up some money so we can eat our fill!"
"I wasn't very well prepared this time because I didn't know if you would like it, so I didn't prepare a lot. If you want to eat it, I'll make more next time so you can eat your fill!"
"Mmm! Great! This sauce is really good, it has a slight spiciness, it's very satisfying!"
"I'm glad you like it!"
The concubines in the mansion had been dealt with and were no longer allowed to come to the main courtyard at will. They heard that they were eating something delicious there, but they could only endure it and curse inwardly.
They can't sit down to eat, but it's a bit much to exclude even their children!
Is it because they're no longer favored that they act this way?
They sensed danger and were extremely anxious. If they didn't come up with a solution soon, they might be doomed!
But they forgot that they were just concubines, and could be sold at any time!
Years of being pampered have made them forget their place and think they are quite capable!
Little did they know, they were nothing at all!
Thinking you can turn the tables and take control of the entire Marquis's mansion? You're dreaming!
The heart is fed until it grows bigger, desires swell, and the desires become more and more numerous!
They not only want affection, but also real power, status, and reputation!
"Mother! What should we do? Grandmother and Father seem to have changed; they're ignoring us completely! If this continues, we're doomed! The people in the manor are so good at playing favorites; they're clearly neglecting us!"
"Stay calm! It's just a small matter, why are you in such a hurry? You can't be impatient when it comes to important things!"
