After the gang ladies and girls received the rewards, Mother Li took them away, and Jinglan Pavilion suddenly became much quieter.

Except for the two girls Jingshuang and Yingxue, there are no other serving girls in this courtyard. There are only two stout women who have been cleaning Jinglan Pavilion here. However, they are not here ten years ago.

The people who serve Gu Tinglan were only sent here in recent years.

The two women gave Cen Xiyan a courtesy, and Cen Xiyan sent them out without saying anything else.

With no outsiders in the room, Yingxue couldn't help complaining angrily, "The lady hasn't been back to the house in ten years, and now that she came all the way back, she just threw her into this yard and ignored her!"

Today is the first day back home, and no one even wants to see me! What do you mean?"

"Okay! If you talk too much, say less!" Jingshuang scolded Yingxue because she was afraid that Cen Xiyan would get upset, but in her heart, she was actually a little resentful for her young lady.

Cen Xiyan didn't care about this at all. In her heart, she didn't have much expectations for family affection from the so-called relatives in Cen's family. Without expectations, it was natural that she couldn't talk about disappointment, or the loss after being left out.

Therefore, she said with a smile: "Isn't this good? I have been traveling all day and I feel tired now. If I am called to say hello, I don't know how long it will take. I don't have to worry about it now. I have a good night's rest."

That’s the right thing to do.”

"That's what the lady said." Jingshuang couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

Yingxue's mouth was still pouting, "What time has it been? Everyone else in the house should have eaten long ago, but the lady and we haven't eaten anything yet! I'll go out and ask where the big kitchen is.

If others don't care about us, we can't let ourselves go hungry!" After saying that, he walked out angrily.

Jingshuang looked at Yingxue's back and was a little worried that if she went out like this, she would quarrel with the people in the kitchen, so she opened her mouth to call Yingxue and ask her to go to the kitchen instead.

But Cen Xiyan said at this moment: "You don't have to worry about her. Although Yingxue has a straightforward temper, she is not ignorant of propriety."

Jingshuang thought about it. After being together for more than ten years, she naturally understood Yingxue's temper. She was a little concerned about it just now, but she was confused. Now after hearing what Cen Xiyan said, she gave up, turned around, and pulled off Xiao Amy's

I put a few sunflower seeds on the insulating cover on the birdhouse and put them in little Amy's small bowl and fed it to her.

When little Amy saw the light, she became active again. While eating, she jumped up and down and made a fuss. The originally deserted small building suddenly became lively again.

Jingshuang smiled and nodded little Amy's head, then went to gather things.

Yingxue came back not long after she left. She was still carrying a food box in her hand and her expression was not very good.

"Why are you back so soon? The kitchen, it seems, is not only in Lijinglan Pavilion, right?" Jingshuang asked strangely.

Jingshuang is almost eighteen years old, and Yingxue is seventeen years old. Both of them were bought by Gu Tinglan to serve Cen Xiyan since childhood. Before going to Qingyuan Town, they also followed Cen Xiyan's predecessor in the capital Cen Xiyan.

Having lived in the Cen Mansion for more than a year, the six or seven-year-old girl has already remembered things. Although it has been too long and her memory of many things in the Cen Mansion has been blurred, she still remembers some things, for example, the Cen Mansion.

They all remembered the layout and the locations of each courtyard, so they knew that the large kitchen of Cen Mansion was not close to Jinglan Pavilion.

"I was walking halfway when I met a helpless girl from the kitchen. She said she was delivering food to our hospital. She asked me if I was Miss Six's girl. When I said yes, she gave me the food box and said yes.

There was still work to be done in the kitchen, so I left in a hurry." As Yingxue spoke, she put the food box on the table, stretched out her hand to open the food box, looked inside, her face darkened, and then she opened it

On the second and third floors, his expression became worse and worse, and finally he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Sure enough! It's really too much!" The rough girl only used a food box instead of food for her and Jingshuang.

She felt something was wrong when she was separated from the lady. It was just that she was outside at the time, so she couldn't just open the food box and check it. And at that time, she thought she was overthinking, but she didn't expect those people would really dare!

Jingshuang looked into the food box, her brows furrowed involuntarily, and she looked unhappy.

Cen Xiyan glanced at the food box and saw only the first and second layers. There were two dishes each. They were all common winter foods such as tofu and radishes. There were no green vegetables or meat dishes. The third layer

, only three bowls of rice.

After winter, although vegetables are valuable, wealthy families have very particular vegetable cellars. Aristocratic families like the Cen family will certainly not be unable to eat vegetables in winter, let alone meat!

In the Cen family, the food for the servants is probably better than this! The people in the kitchen dared to prepare such a dinner for them. It was obvious that someone had secretly manipulated Cen Xiyan!

Little Amy also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room and didn't care about eating. She looked at this and that with a pair of small bean eyes, showing her cleverness.

"If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have let that girl go! I had to drag her to Jinglan Pavilion!" Yingxue said angrily.

Jingshuang sighed, "What can you do if you bring that girl here? She is just a servant who does what others do."

"I'll ask the kitchen steward!" Yingxue said, folding the food boxes and carrying them back to the kitchen.

"Come back!" Cen Xiyan called Yingxue, then sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and said calmly: "Eat!"

"Miss! How can you eat this?" Yingxue was anxious.

"What can't you eat? It's not like I've never eaten it before." Cen Xiyan picked up a chopstick of tofu without changing his expression, put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, swallowed it, and nodded slightly, "As expected of the Hou Mansion.

Chef, it tastes very good.”

"Miss! Jingshuang and I are girls, so it doesn't matter, but you are different! You are the daughter of the Cen family, do you need to wrong yourself so much?"

The daughter-in-law? The daughter-in-law who was sent to a different hospital thousands of miles away to fend for herself for ten years? Cen Xiyan smiled sarcastically. She was not raised as a daughter-in-law in a boudoir, nor did she want to be a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

Son!

"Sit down and eat." Cen Xiyan said again. Although his tone was light, it contained a commanding tone.

Yingxue's stubborn temper rose, "I won't eat it! Miss, you don't want to eat it either! I'll go find them to argue!"

"Yingxue, Miss knows what she knows!" Jingshuang said anxiously: "On your first day back, Miss, so many pairs of eyes in this mansion are staring at Jinglan Pavilion. Don't you think it would be nice to make a fuss tonight? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble to Miss?

Is it troublesome?"

"But..." Of course she understands the truth, but it's hard to swallow this breath!

"In your eyes, your young lady and I are just a soft persimmon who likes to suffer losses and can be picked on and bullied by anyone?" Cen Xiyan looked at Yingxue and said lightly.

Yingxue quickly shook her head, "Of course not..."
