Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

The old women were doing things with their hands, but their ears were perked up, afraid of missing anything. When they heard Li Yuening say this, they all had their own little thoughts.

The maid Cui'er secretly cursed these old women for being useless and tried to slip away to inform Feng, but was discovered by Li Yuening, who winked at Xiaosui'er and tied Cui'er up.

"Sister Cui'er, you just happened to be talking about the young men in the mansion yesterday. It's still early now, so please continue to tell me about them, so as to avoid breaking taboos next time we meet."

Cui'er had no choice but to respond incoherently.

When Xie Shi heard the servant report about Luo Zhiyuan's affairs early in the morning, he jumped up from the bed with a start, packed up his things and went out.

Avoiding the eyes of others, Xie Shi observed from outside the kitchen, and felt relieved when he saw that Li Yuening was not really preparing the meal.

In Xie Shi's opinion, a pretty girl like Li Yuening shouldn't suffer from the smoke and fire.

He looked up at the sky. It was 6: in the morning. His grandfather had also gotten up. Xie Shi took one last look at Li Yuening and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, he met her smiling eyes. Xie Shi's ears felt hot. He nodded, said hello, and quickly returned to the yard.

Xie Shi took out a 50-liang silver note from his pocket and said, "Bai Yi, go to Manxiangju and order a vegetarian meal for me. I'll get the lunch."

The man in white took the banknote but did not leave. He asked in confusion, "Sir, you don't like vegetarian food, why did you order vegetarian food?" Isn't this just a waste of money?

Xie Shi's face turned cold, "I need to report to you about what I have done. When you come back, go to Chungui Tower and ask Ziyi to come. I have something to tell you." Seeing that Baiyi was still standing there in a daze, he urged, "Why don't you go quickly?"

Seeing that her husband was already angry, Bai Yi did not dare to delay and crossed his arms, "Yes, I will go right away."

Xie Shi sighed. There were four servants around him. The one in green was calm, the one in red was lively, the one in white was well-behaved, and the one in purple was smooth.

Bai Yi was very methodical and would always ask for a reason before doing anything, so he usually only took Qing Yi and Fei Yi with him when he went out. Zi Yi was good at communicating with people and was more skilled in observing people's words and expressions than an old hand, so Xie Shi placed him in Chun Gui Tower.

Xie Shi had been unpopular since childhood, and had been hanging around in Jinling City since he was in his teens. At that time, no one knew that he was a member of the Xie family. Later, he was spotted by Feng's people. Not only did she not stop them, she also had people exaggerate the situation and spread the news. Since then, Xie Shi's reputation has never been good.

The four servants were snatched back by the young Xie Shi from beggars and bad guys.

After he became an adult, Chun Gui Lou happened to close down due to poor management. Since that was the place where his mother had lived before her death, Xie Shi took four servants to the gambling house and exchanged their lives for silver to buy Chun Gui Lou. No one knew that the owner behind Chun Gui Lou was a teenager.

It was also at that time that Xie Shi’s fierce look was firmly engraved in their hearts, and they were filled with deep fear.

At 2:30 am, the Xie family members arrived at the dining hall one after another. Xie Lin sent someone to invite Li Yuening, fearing that she would not be used to living there the first night. Unexpectedly, the servants said that Li Yuening was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the Xie family.

Xie Lin felt so distressed, thinking that Ning Jie'er must be uncomfortable in the Xie family, so he decided to arrange her marriage as soon as possible so that Ning Jie'er could feel at ease and regard this place as her home.

People from both rooms have arrived. All the masters, big and small, have come today. Xie Lin also wanted Li Yuening to recognize some people and take a look at these little ones.

"Greetings to Dad/Grandpa."

Xie Lin waved his hand and beckoned to Xie Zhan, "Brother Zhan, come here and sit next to Grandpa."

Xie Zhan's face stiffened slightly, and he walked over and sat down uncomfortably.

Everyone sat down one after another, and the maids began to serve breakfast, which was the same as usual, but Li Yuening did not show up for a long time.

"Xie Fang, go take a look..." Xie Lin hadn't finished speaking when he saw Li Yuening coming in from the door, "Come on, Sister Ning, come over here."

Li Yuening was supported by Xiaosui'er and walked over to sit on the right side of Xie Lin. On the left sat Xie Zhan with his head down. It seemed that the old man still wanted to match her and Xie Zhan, but unfortunately she was going to make trouble.

"Grandpa Xie, I'm sorry, I may not be a good wife of the Xie family." Li Yuening's eyes were slightly moist.

"What's going on?" Xie Ling was confused.

Li Yuening glanced at Feng and then looked away in panic, lowering her head slightly and said aggrievedly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I may not be able to get up at dawn to prepare breakfast.

Look, you guys only had dinner at 7 pm, and you sat there all morning for nothing, disappointing Grandpa Xie. It’s all Yue Ning’s fault.”

Mao hour? It's not even daybreak yet.

Except for Feng, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, everyone else looked at Feng in disbelief: this man started to rub his daughter-in-law before he even entered the door.

Besides, this lady from the Li family is not necessarily her daughter-in-law.

Feng was about to open his mouth to refute: It is three quarters of the morning hour, not the morning hour...

Li Yuening stretched out her hands, her red and swollen blisters reflecting the light. "It's all Yuening's fault for being clumsy. When she saw the porridge was about to burn, she quickly took it off the stove and forgot to put a rag under it."

"Mrs. Zhu, bring the porridge up quickly. I heard that Aunt Feng likes thick porridge the most. She even likes the bird's nest to be thick. You should eat more later. It will make my burn worthwhile."

Grandma Zhu brought in a casserole and placed it on the table. Xiaosui hurried forward and served everyone a bowl. The porridge in the bowl was soft and mixed with white scallops, just like what they usually ate.

Xie Yi could see that Madam Li had something against his aunt. He was happy to watch the show, so he deliberately asked, "Madam Li, can you cook?"

Li Yuening tilted her head, "Who are you?"

Xie Lin took the opportunity to introduce him: "He is from the second brother's family. The fifth brother is called Xie Yi, Yi Ge'er."

"Thank you, Fifth Brother, for your courtesy." Li Yuening glanced at the nervous Lu and smiled, "Yuening doesn't know how to cook, it's good enough that she doesn't cause any trouble."

He hid his hands under the table and said, "But I heard from the maids in the kitchen that Aunt Lu likes to use ginseng to nourish her body.

Yue Ning has read a few medical books and found that eating ginseng frequently can easily cause weakness and insomnia. Now seeing that Aunt Lu looks relatively healthy, it can be considered that she has stopped taking the medicine for a while, which is just right."

Mrs. Lu raised her eyes and looked at Li Yuening. If Li Yuening had been trying to flatter Mrs. Feng before, now she was saying that the kitchen had stolen her ginseng.

No wonder the recent medicinal food doesn't taste like ginseng. Mrs. Lu looked at Mrs. Feng and said, "Sister-in-law has always been strict in managing the household. I didn't know the kitchen dared to openly deduct the food from my second room. Father-in-law, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Lu's eyes were slightly red. Mr. Xie, who was sitting next to her, saw that his wife was about to cry, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Wife, don't cry." After saying that, he glared at Li Yuening angrily. She was the one who was talking here, and it must be her who made his wife cry. "You made my wife cry, you are bad."

Li Yuening quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and shook her head, "I didn't, thank you, Second Uncle."

Xie Lin also realized that something must have happened when he was not aware that Ning Jie'er had been wronged. Ning Jie'er was not someone who would suffer any loss, so she had a fit on the spot. It was good this way, as even if he was not around, Ning Jie would not be bullied.

"Sister Ning, does your hand hurt so much? Why don't you treat it?" Xie Lin was worried about the blisters on Li Yuening's palm, fearing that his wife would be left with scars.
