Su Wanwan carried the somewhat heavy food box and strolled leisurely towards her yard.
Why.
She was quite full.
It's all Hu's fault; her poor facial expression management caused this trouble.
She ate while watching Hu Shi's grief-stricken, angry, and furious expression, and ended up overeating.
Su Wanwan was a little troubled, worried that she had gained weight.
However, the thought that in another day or two, after she had built up enough hatred for Jiang Wan'er, she would have to go back to the countryside to eat coarse food made her feel at ease.
We should take advantage of the good food and drink we have now and show off more meat and rice.
So what if I'm a little chubby? A little fat will keep me warm through the winter!
As Su Wanwan approached the courtyard gate, she saw her two maids, Zisu and Zimu, waiting for her with lanterns.
Upon seeing her, the two men, each carrying a lantern, jogged over.
"Miss, you're finally back! We were so worried about you!"
"Yes, we servants thought you had been harmed by someone again, and we were about to go and tell the general."
As he spoke, Zi Mu took the food box from Su Wanwan's hand and carried it in his own.
Su Wanwan chuckled, her eyes sharp as she looked at the two of them. "Hmph, your young lady isn't stupid. She's been wronged once, but she won't let it happen again. Anyone who dares to harm me again will suffer the same fate as Zijuan."
She said these words as a warning to the two maids.
Upon hearing this, the two maids trembled, remembering the sight of Zijuan bleeding from all seven orifices, and were somewhat frightened.
At the same time, the two women were secretly relieved that they hadn't joined Zijuan in harming their young mistress. Otherwise, they would have been the ones left in the mass grave to be eaten by wolves.
Su Wanwan walked in front, with two maids following behind her.
Zisu deliberately changed the subject, "Miss, have you eaten in Madam's courtyard?"
In the past, his master had dined with his mistress, but each time he was scolded by her and cried loudly, never even getting half a meal.
"Hehe, of course I've already eaten. I went to have dinner with Mom, and she was overjoyed. Look, she even had someone cook some hot dishes for me to bring back."
Su Wanwan raised her chin and nodded towards the food box.
The two maids looked at each other, not believing their young mistress's words at all!
The three returned to the house, and Su Wanwan said with a smile, "By the way, I'm already full. The food inside was packed for you. You don't need to serve me here. Go down and eat quickly."
Zisu and Zimu were deeply moved. They expressed their loyalty to Su Wanwan before leaving the house with the food box.

Linqing Pavilion, the courtyard of the Hu family.
"Achoo~~" Mrs. Hu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and sneezed several times in a row.
"Who's talking badly about me behind my back!" Mrs. Hu said angrily.
Dingxiang smiled and comforted her, "Madam, you're probably overthinking it. Perhaps the General is just missing you, hehehe~~"
"Hehehe, that's true. I know my husband still has me in his heart." Madam Hu covered her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled shyly.
"By the way, Madam. When I went to the kitchen to add food tonight, I heard something about the Sixth Miss."
"What is it? Tell me about it."
“Madam, according to what I’ve heard, the Sixth Miss’s meal tonight was cut short. The cook in the kitchen, Zhang, only gave her two plates of vegetables, a bowl of porridge, and a few dark steamed buns. I suppose that’s why the Sixth Miss came to eat in your courtyard.”
After Dingxiang finished speaking, she added, "Madam, Chef Zhang is a distant relative of Concubine Chen."
"Hmph, what audacious dog of a servant!" Madam Hu slammed her hand on the table, her face contorted with anger. "How dare she withhold food from the young lady's meals? Cook Zhang is showing no respect for me, her mistress!"
Dingxiang, always quick to stir up trouble, said angrily, "They say you have to consider the owner before beating a dog. Doesn't Chef Zhang know that Miss Six is being raised by Madam?"
If you ask me, it must be that Chef Zhang is using the excuse of skimping on Sixth Miss's meals to embarrass Madam!
