Chapter 10 Establishing Prestige

Only Jinxiu remained calm and refilled Zhao Xiwei's tea cup with a smile.

Jinxiu smiled when she saw the nervous expressions of Pearl and Yulan.

It's good that the eldest lady is in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but no matter how powerful she is, can she be as powerful as the Prime Minister?

From the moment the prime minister asked his entourage to deliver the book, she knew that the future of her young lady would definitely be the same.

Of course, this life depends on management. How well you can live depends on how capable your lady is.

For example, right now, Mother Ding is not an ordinary maid. She is an old man who has lived in the house for more than 20 years. She has always been very decent in front of the servants. How can the young lady control her?

Yin Bao brought the food box over.

Mother Ding watched her open the box and put the dishes on the table one by one in front of her. Her face slowly became ugly: "Miss Third, what is this?"

Zhao Xi smiled and did not answer, but called out: "Yinbao, show me your seat to Mother Ding."

"Yes!" Yinbao responded resoundingly, "supported" Ding's mother, pushed her seat down, and then placed the bowl of eight-treasure rice in front of her.

Ding’s mother’s brows twitched.

Zhao Xiwei personally held the chopsticks, picked up a piece of green leafy vegetables, and put it into Ding's mother's bowl. She said with a smile: "Mom, please use it slowly!"

Mother Ding's face was stiff and she didn't move her chopsticks.

Now she finally understood that this third lady was trying to scare the monkeys by using her as an example!

She is just a concubine, but she is not liked by the eldest lady. She does not believe that she can go to heaven.

Thinking like this, she straightened her back again and said with a smile: "I appreciate the kindness of the young lady, but I have just eaten."

Her eyes sparkled, "Don't you want to know the cooking skills, young lady? How did you bring out the dinner?"

"Yes." Zhao Xiwei smiled lightly, but it was as if it was a cold winter: "I don't want to talk to Mother Ding about how I managed to cook a table of broken meals on such a cold day!"

"I really don't know what the young lady is talking about." Mother Ding made up her mind not to bow her head and admit her mistake. She stood up and said goodbye: "I have something important to do in the kitchen, so I will leave first."

With a "pop" sound, the silver chopsticks fell onto the table.

Mother Ding subconsciously retracted her raised leg. She raised her eyes in surprise and saw Zhao Xi suppressing his smile and giving her a cold order: "Come here, serve Mother Ding and have a good meal!"

"yes!"

Yinbao and Jinxiu immediately moved forward, holding her hostage from left to right.

"What do you want to do?" Ding's mother panicked.

Yinbao smiled and said, "Please let mom eat this bowl of rice before leaving." After saying that, she couldn't help resisting, so she put all the dishes in the bowl, piled them up like a mountain, and sent them to Ding's mother.

The corner of Ding's mother's mouth twitched. She had ordered her servants to prepare this meal. It was all leftovers from yesterday's sour soup. It had been left out overnight, so naturally it didn't taste very good.

Zhao Xiwei picked up the teacup and said slowly and calmly: "Mama Ding, you have to chew your food carefully. If the food is spoiled or rancid, you won't be able to tell the difference. If you just eat it in one bite, it will not be good for your stomach."

Mother Ding's face turned red.

But with the support of the powerful eldest lady and the second lady, how could she easily bow to a concubine?

With a straight face, she raised her voice and said: "Miss, the Prime Minister's Mansion has the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You can't act recklessly. If you have any dissatisfaction with the slave, you can report it directly to Madam, Old Madam. Instead of deducting any money,

Hold your slave and don’t let your slave go back.”

"The most important thing in the house right now is the fourth lady's wedding banquet. The big kitchen has been very busy recently. From the selection, purchase and acceptance of ingredients, everything is waiting for the slave to arrange it."

He glanced arrogantly again: "If you delay such a big event, can you afford it?"

"Mother Ding is so decent." Zhao Xiwei smiled coldly and lightly opened her red lips: "I just want to treat Mother Ding to a meal, but my mother wants to use the eldest lady and the old lady to suppress me. It's really a toast but not a meal."

Eat fine wine."

With a sneer, Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Put it into my mouth!"

"This..." Pearl and Yulan's expressions changed drastically. Even Jinxiu was a little hesitant, "Miss..."

Zhao Xiwei sneered: "What? Do you want to eat leftovers for the rest of your life?"

"I don't want you to, slave!" Yinbao was the first to bear the brunt and grabbed Ding's mother with a single stride.

Jinxiu followed closely behind, holding a bowl and coming over: "Mom, please eat this bowl of rice first."

"You, you little hooves, how dare you disrespect me! I am the mother in charge of the house!"

Mother Ding was so anxious that she didn't care about maintaining her previous dignity. She rounded her arms and pushed Yinbao hard, causing Yinbao to fall to the ground. She raised her hand again and Jinxiu staggered.

The rice bowl he was serving fell to the ground with a bang and fell into pieces.

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Xiwei's pupils shrank, "Pah-!"

A clear and resounding slap silenced the noisy room.

Mother Ding swayed, and a burning pain came over her face, and she came to her senses: She had been beaten!

"Miss Third!" Ding's mother covered half of her red and swollen face and said in disbelief: "You actually hit someone! You, a lady from a wealthy family, actually hit someone!!"

After saying that, he fell to the ground and cried loudly: "What exactly does this slave do to you that you don't like? You can report it to the eldest lady. You can't beat this slave without being clear about it!"

Several maids were also frightened by this scene and looked at Zhao Xiwei blankly.

"What's wrong with hitting you?" Zhao Xiwei sat down on the chair and looked at her coldly as she sat on the floor and said, "Yinbao, serve Mother Ding for dinner."

"You!" Mother Ding shuddered all over, and immediately got up from the ground, staggering to go outside: "This slave has disturbed the eyes of the third lady! I have no shame in staying in the Zhao Mansion! I will go and report to Madam Ming now,

Quit working in the kitchen!"

"Okay, I will go with you now!"

He originally planned to leave it at that, but as soon as he heard this, Zhao Xiwei stood up, took the cloak from Jinxiu and tied it up, then stepped forward and passed in front of Mother Ding.

"I was just about to ask why the dignified lady of the prime minister's house ate leftovers!"

You..." Faced with Zhao Xiwei's cold gaze, Ding's mother couldn't help but take a few steps back. She had been working as an errand in the back house of Zhao Mansion for so many years and had seen countless masters, big and small, but she had never seen any female family members.

Such a cold and cold aura like a wild wolf.

But in the blink of an eye, the words that the fifth young lady told me came back to my ears: "Mother Ding, for the sake of Sister Yan's future, you must destroy the majesty of that wild girl! If you need anything, Madam, the Second Madam will help you with it!"

Yes, this wild girl dared to use the kitchen knife on the first day she entered the house. If she gave in, wouldn't Sister Yan be stepped down by her every day in the future?

Besides, I don’t believe she really dares to challenge the eldest lady!

So he gained some courage, and shouted with a red and swollen face: "Miss Third made a fuss on her first day back home, aren't you afraid that the eldest lady will accuse you?!"
