Chapter 371 Tie Her Up
Rong Madam: "Yes, yes, yes, Madam, you can rest assured. I have worked in the kitchen for many years and have seen how to manage it. I will definitely manage it well for you."
Song Ci smiled and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you. Since I allow you to do it, just do it well. I'll support you in everything."
Upon hearing this, Mother Rong knew that the young lady was extremely dissatisfied with Madam Pei, and this was to let her go and show off her prowess in the kitchen.
She is already on the young lady's side, so naturally she will do her best.
Mother Li was eating at home with her feet up, her face full of pride. She spat at the subordinates beside her, "What young lady? Bah! She comes from a humble family and is not even worthy of carrying our lady's shoes, and she is even in charge of the kitchen. When the lady comes out, she will have a hard time."
The others all agreed with a smile, not daring to say anything more.
When gods fight, they just hope that the fish in the pond will not be affected.
Mother Li continued, "I only made a small contribution, and the kitchen is out of fresh fruits and vegetables. Let's see what she will do. If the master and the young masters can't eat well, it's all her fault. If she fails in her duty, the master will know that the family is ultimately managed by the mistress. He might even let the mistress out early. With the mistress around, we can live a good life."
Mother Li was very proud of what she said. There were many people in the Pei family who had the same idea as her. One was Mrs. Pei who had been managing the Pei family's inner house for many years, and the other was the young lady who had just arrived and had a low status.
What to do should be a good choice.
Mother Li was drinking, and the people below were saying flattering words. Mother Li couldn't hide the pride on her face. She drank a few more glasses, her face was flushed, and she felt her mind was floating.
Suddenly, someone rushed into the house and shouted anxiously: "Mother Li, something happened in the kitchen, you'd better go and take a look."
Mother Li frowned. "What could possibly be so frustrating?"
The people below echoed, "That's right, didn't you see Mama Li eating and drinking? If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Seeing that Mama Li didn't care, the man said anxiously, "Mama Li, something terrible has happened in the kitchen. The young lady has sent Mama Rong to replace you as the purchasing manager."
"What!" Mother Li's mind immediately became clear.
"It's to take away the position you purchased!"
"How dare she!" Mother Li shouted angrily, standing up in an instant. "I want to see what they are going to do. What about the young mistress? The mistress is still here. You all come with me."
"yes."
The people below rushed forward.
Mother Rong went to the kitchen with several close friends of the Pei family. Mother Li and her men were not there, and they all frowned.
Then he started rummaging through the drawers.
Mother Li’s biggest mistake was the account book. As long as that thing was found, there would be no way for Mother Li to turn things around.
"Found it, found it, isn't it this one?"
Someone took out a piece of paper from under a stove, but she couldn't read, so she gave it to Mother Rong.
Mother Rong looked through it carefully, and the smile on her face grew wider and wider. "Sure enough, it's this! This old woman has been eating a lot of gluttonous food over the years. How could she not be eaten to death!"
As she was flipping through the books, Mother Li arrived. She stared at the account book in Mother Rong's hand with tears in her eyes.
Mother Li: "What are you doing? Who allowed you to come?"
Mother Rong took the account book slowly and said, "It was the young lady's order."
Mother Li: "Young Madam, we are Madam's people! Madam arranged for us to do this, and this is our territory."
Mother Rong looked at the domineering Mother Li and smiled nonchalantly, "Now, Master Pei has handed over the kitchen to the Young Madam. You keep calling her Madam, but where do you put her? Or do you look down on her? You think she's young, superficial, and easy to bully."
This sentence was like a slap in the face, and Mother Li didn't dare to admit it.
"That's not what I meant."
"That's not what I meant. Why are you calling Madam? Or was it Madam who told you to do this? Madam is unwilling to listen to Master and hand over the kitchen stewardship."
Mother Li's forehead was covered with sweat. She agreed with all these words, but she didn't dare to admit it. If she did, it would be a serious sin.
"What do you want?"
"The young mistress said that you are ill and need to rest at home. The kitchen cannot be left without management for a day. Today, because of you, the masters of the house have not eaten well. So before this, the purchasing rights are given to me."
Give it to Mother Rong? Can it be returned later? Mother Li didn't believe it.
"I'm fine now, I'm fine now!"
Mother Rong wrinkled her nose, smelling a strong smell of alcohol, and immediately became furious, "Well, you said you were sick and couldn't get up and take care of things, but you ended up drinking and slacking off behind the young lady's back!"
Mother Li choked. She had indeed been drinking, but she didn't expect to be discovered. She stammered and didn't know what to say.
"What do you want?"
"I don't want to give up the purchasing rights anyway."
Mother Li was furious. "You're dreaming."
She has made a lot of money from this job over the years. With this money, her eldest son got married and had children, her youngest son had the opportunity to go to school, and the whole family lived a good life. How could she be willing to give it all up?
Asking her to hand it over is no less than asking her to cut off the flesh from her body.
"You don't want to hand it over? Don't you want to listen to what the young lady says?"
"I belong to the Madam! The Young Madam has no right to ask me to move."
Her words hit the mark of Rong's mother, and she suddenly smiled, "Okay, you said it."
After he finished speaking, a person slowly walked in from the door. Who else could it be but Song Ci?
Her eyes were indifferent, and the cold light in them was like a sharp knife, slicing fiercely into Mother Li's body. She had always seemed gentle and kind, never fighting with others, but suddenly her aura became sharp, frightening Mother Li.
Is this still the usual easy-going young lady?
Song Ci's voice was calm and unhurried, but the words that came out of her mouth frightened Mother Li.
"Catch her and lock her up in a woodshed. Then find her account books from all these years. Everyone heard what she just said. I need to have a good talk with my father. If the kitchen is not under my control and I'm not allowed to be in charge, then I'm done with it."
After she said that, she turned and left. The rest of the people rushed forward and tied up the pale-faced Mother Li with a rope.
Her face was pale and she felt indescribably depressed, but she also knew that she was finished.
Once she said those words, she lost everything.
She had committed the crime of insubordination and had no way out.
Mr. Pei was unhappy when he saw the table full of half-baked dishes for breakfast. Lunch was also full of half-baked dishes. He was getting angry at the waiter when Song Ci arrived.
"Father."
Master Pei: "Why are you here at this time?"
