She only hated herself for not discovering the truth earlier, and hated her body for not being able to keep up.

If her elder sister hadn't been kind enough to find her the miracle doctor's pills, she might have had to wait for two or three months before she could get what she wanted.

Now that the time had come, she really wanted to laugh out loud, but she knew she couldn't.

The outcome is still uncertain, so she cannot act rashly or reveal her true colors.

The head maid Feng He walked slowly into the main house carrying a four-layer food box.

The food box was opened, and various dishes of meat and vegetables were placed in front of Jiang Chen. At the bottom of the food box was a bowl of matsutake black chicken soup.

The butter on the chicken soup has been removed, leaving only the plain soup with white and green chopped green onions floating on it. The chicken is soft and tasty, and you won’t feel sick of it even if you drink a bowl of it in hot weather.

This is a soup that the kitchen prepares for the masters and ladies of each room every day. Because it has the effect of replenishing blood, boosting energy, and strengthening the body, the masters of each room love to drink it.

But the fragrant chicken soup did not wake up the fourth young lady Jiang Chen, whose thoughts were wandering.

Feng He saw that her young lady didn't know what she was thinking, so she handed the food box in her hand to the little maid beside her and ordered: "You guys go out first, young lady, I'm here."

Fenghe and Jiangxiang are the maids beside Jiang Chen, and their orders are Jiang Chen's orders.

"Yes." The maids filed out.

Fenghe winked at Jiangxiang again, and Jiangxiang immediately understood. After she followed the maids out of the door, she closed the door and pulled a low stool to sit on the porch at the door, looking around.

The sound of the door closing brought Jiang Chen back to his senses.

When only the master and the servant were left in the room, Feng He whispered, "Miss, everything has been added in as you ordered, so don't worry."

Jiang Chen stirred the matsutake and black chicken soup beside him and asked, "Is it enough? Has anyone seen it?"

"The quantity is definitely enough. The maids in charge of the kitchen have all been called to Qiu Shui Courtyard by the Second Madam, leaving only a few maids to look after the meals. I'm being very careful, no one will notice." Feng He said in a low voice.

Jiang Chen nodded: "That's good." Feng He was steady and reserved, and he was reliable in his work. She was always at ease with him.

Feng He was a little worried about what would happen tomorrow. After hesitating for a while, she finally asked: "Miss... Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday, and it is the first time that the second lady has hosted such a big banquet. I... I see that the second lady has been so busy these days that she has lost weight. If something goes wrong at the banquet tomorrow..." She didn't dare to say the next words.

If something goes wrong at the birthday party, the first person to be blamed will definitely be the Second Madam.

Isn't that young lady just lifting a rock and hitting her own mother's foot?

Jiang Chen swallowed a mouthful of black chicken soup, and with a "click", he threw the white jade spoon in his hand into the small bowl. The chicken soup in the bowl splashed onto the eight-immortal table as the spoon fell.

Feng He knelt down hurriedly: "Miss, please calm down. This servant... this servant..."

As a slave, being obedient and loyal is the first step.

"It's okay, just get up. I know you mean well, so how could I blame you?" Jiang Chen sat on the stool and reached out to pull Feng He, who then stood up.

"But Fenghe, I can't help it." Jiang Chen said angrily as he looked at the closed wooden door.

Feng He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.

"I have tolerated her for two months. If I continue to tolerate her like this, I will go crazy. Although I don't know what the result will be tomorrow, even if I can't make her pay for her blood debt with blood immediately, even if I ruin her reputation, I will feel relieved. As long as I can live, there is still a lot of time, and I will slowly settle this debt..."

Feng He looked at Jiang Chen like this, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

"As for whether grandma's birthday was good or not, I don't care at all. Although mother hosted the banquet, as long as there are no mistakes elsewhere, they can't blame mother afterwards!"

When Feng He heard her say this, he thought that this was the case and stopped worrying.

She hurriedly smiled and took the silver chopsticks beside her and picked up some cold bamboo shoots and put them on the plate in front of Jiang Chen: "Miss, you are right, I am too worried. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. This is a new cold dish from the kitchen. It looks refreshing and not greasy. Please try it."

Jiang Chen stopped thinking about those messy things and started eating with his chopsticks...

There are some things that must be done, otherwise, she will not be able to overcome herself. She needs to eat and drink enough, and keep her body strong, so that she can fight with someone.

In Fu'an Hall, Jiang Miao was helping Madam Jiang walk towards the Eight Immortals Table in the side hall, when he heard the little maid at the door report: "Madam, the old lady is here."

Madam Jiang's face darkened when she heard this. She raised her right foot and suddenly felt extremely sore, and it was more difficult to put it down than before.

Although Jiang Miao didn't know about the past between his mother and aunt, he had already witnessed the tit-for-tat between the two in the ancestral hall.

Seeing that Old Madam Jiang was standing there without saying a word, he was afraid that Old Madam Qi outside the door would get angry if she waited for too long, so he instructed Mother Qin, "You help your mother to sit down first. I will go to greet your aunt." Then he turned and went out.

Mother Qin nodded quickly, held Madam Jiang's arm, and asked her to sit down.

Madam Jiang was of course extremely unwilling to do so, but she really had no choice but to snort coldly and let Mother Qin help her to the eight-immortals table and sit down on the stool.

If this stool was a person, it would have been knocked unconscious by her. It can be seen that Madam Jiang's resentment is really not small.

After a while, Jiang Miao and Jiang Zhou supported Old Lady Qi on both sides and entered the house.

Madam Jiang looked up and was furious! Her two sons, whom she had raised with great difficulty, were now being manipulated so easily by Jiang Baozhi, a bitch.

Seeing her face turn blue with anger, Old Lady Qi felt relieved and smiled even more kindly: "You are all good children. Your mother is blessed. Unlike me, I have never had a child in my life and have to spend the whole day in seclusion on the mountain."

As she spoke, she looked at Madam Jiang's expression, followed their hands and sat opposite Madam Jiang, and continued, "Although it was a bit hard, but being able to bring back so much glory for the Duke's Mansion, my aunt's life was not lived in vain. Since my death, every time a girl surnamed Jiang goes out, everyone will praise her a few words!"

When Madam Jiang heard this, her face turned from green to purple, and then from purple to green. It was very interesting. But what Madam Qi said was the truth, so she had no way to refute it.

After hearing what she said, Jiang Zhou and Jiang Miao felt more or less guilty.

Their father, the old Duke of Zhenguo, had said a few words about what happened back then before he passed away.

But at that time he was already in a daze and unconscious, occasionally saying one or two words, "Zhi'er, I'm sorry for you," "Zhi'er, you're back," "Zhi'er, please forgive your brother..."
