I was a housekeeper in ancient times

She said, "Oh, the second wife is the head of the household, right? What you mean is that the second wife only lets her own daughter eat good food and doesn't let other girls eat good food? Are you calling the second wife a black-hearted person?"

It's not that she is arrogant, she just feels that the people in the kitchen are used to being overbearing. It is true that Ding is the housekeeper, but Yu Muyan is the real wife of Marquis Pingrong.

They prioritize the second wife and neglect the first wife, and they are unaware that they are putting the cart before the horse. Sooner or later, they will suffer backlash.

If there is no backlash, let her do it manually.

She had spread the word that if the other girls did not receive the same cakes as the second girl today, the second lady's reputation as a black-hearted woman would spread throughout the Earl's Mansion.

Before leaving, she packed up her breakfast, which included a bowl of wontons, a bowl of tofu pudding, a few pieces of fried radish cake, three meat-filled buns, a plate of glutinous rice cake, and a handful of fried peanuts.

Of course she couldn’t finish all of it by herself, wasn’t she still thinking about Xiaohan?

Huan Jie stayed in the big kitchen. With her ability to find food, she didn't have to worry about being hungry. But Xiao Han was a maid of the lowest rank. She ate poorly and worked hard.

Xiaohan got meat-filled buns and glutinous rice cakes and radish cakes, and ate them with tears of gratitude. "They all envy me for being able to stay with my mother. My mother is kind-hearted and always thinks of me when she has food. If my mother doesn't mind having another daughter, I, I want to recognize my mother as my godmother and be filial to her in the future."

Lin Weiqiao, who was eating wontons, paused and said hurriedly: "You kid, you recognize me as your godmother for such a small amount of food. If I give you a chicken leg one day, won't you recognize me as your godmother?"

"Mom is still young, how can she be a grandmother?"

"Uh, I mean, don't be too polite with me."

After dealing with some messy things, she went to Shuangxiyuan and made up an excuse to go to Qi's house.

Yu Muyan was lying on the couch, leaning against it. She looked better than before, but her face was still pale and her eyes showed her haggardness and fatigue.

But what’s the old saying? A woman should look pretty in mourning clothes. Yu Muyan was still in mourning, and she was dressed very plainly and elegantly. She was in the room, with her hair not in a bun, but with her black hair loose. She didn’t wear any makeup, and her face was completely undecorated, but her original beauty was revealed even more.

In addition, her pale face and thin body made her look like a delicate and fragile flower bud, making her look even more lovable.

When she heard Lin Weiqiao say that she was going to Qi's house, she frowned slightly, "We have already disturbed my aunt enough. If we go again, will it be..."

Lin Weiqiao said, "Madam, relatives need to visit each other often to maintain their kinship. Besides, the county lady is the elder, and we, as the younger generation, have to visit her more often even if we have nothing to do, not to mention that the county lady raised you. No matter what happened in the past, it is all over. The county lady can help us a few times because she still remembers the friendship in the past. We have to visit her often even if we have to be thick-skinned."

It's easy to convince Yu Muyan, but it takes a lot of effort.

Lin Weiqiao went to the private store and picked out a few things. She couldn't go empty-handed. Anyway, they weren't taking her things, so she didn't care. She just wanted to own these valuable things anytime.

Afraid that she didn't have that much face, she ignored the rule of not being able to be a guest during the mourning period and brought her younger sister along.

Lu Yuxuan is not Wanjie'er's biological father, and he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. I don't know what kind of filial piety he is.

The servant who was responsible for carrying things for her was called Mugua. Like Xiaohan, he was a teenager and was the lucky one she picked randomly from the front yard.

When asked why papaya is called papaya, papaya said that when his mother gave birth to him, the papaya tree planted in front of the door happened to have ripened and the papayas fell off, so his mother gave birth to him.

When I arrived at the Qi family, I came at an inopportune time because the Lady of Huiyang County had gone back to her parents' home and was not in the mansion.

Lin Weiqiao was quite annoyed. Fan Jie'er's matter could not be delayed any longer. If the Qi family did not take action, she would have to do it herself.

When she was worrying about how to deal with this matter, Wan Jieer shook her hand, "Mom, mom, look."

She asked, “What are you looking at?”

Wan Jieer pointed to a man and a woman standing in the courtyard in front and said, "They look like Uncle Tai and Third Aunt."

This name made her think for a long time but she couldn't remember who it was. It was Mugua who reminded her, "It's Master Motai from the Qi family and Miss Qin from the Yu family."

She nodded. Qi Motai? Is he the affectionate male lead who loves Yu Muyan but remains chaste?

Before she could think about it, Wan Jie'er had already walked over and called out, "Uncle Tai, Third Aunt."

Qi Motai didn't expect that Wan Jie'er would show up at his home. He was surprised and delighted. He looked behind Wan Jie'er expectantly, and said with an excited tone, "Wan Jie'er, who are you with?"

Wan Jieer said, "I came here with my mother. Mother asked us to come visit my great aunt, but we didn't know that my great aunt was not at home."

"Your mother, is she okay?"

"Mom was ill a few days ago and is still recovering."

Lin Weiqiao, who was following behind, stopped breathing the moment she saw Qi Motai.

Qi Motai is a good example of what it means to be a natural beauty.

He is tall and strong, with an imposing look, handsome appearance, deep and bright eyes, a straight nose, and well-defined facial features. Just standing there motionless is enough to attract people's attention.

Not to mention that he was wearing a simple dark blue military uniform, with a sword and a white jade auspicious cloud jade pendant on his waist. He had an elegant temperament, a gentleman, and was well-mannered.

This was the first time Lin Weiqiao saw the handsome man who had only appeared in books.

She swallowed uncontrollably, staring at the man with her eyes fixed, her mouth watering.

Qi Motai asked, "Mother Lin, Yan, Sister Yan asked you to come here specially, is there something wrong?"

She was stunned. "Ah, no, no, I just came to visit the county lady. I didn't expect that Master Tai would also come back. This is a happy event."

She sighed as she watched, thinking that God was indeed unfair. Such a handsome man was not the protagonist in this world, but just a loyal and outstanding second male lead.

Although she didn't know what Lu Yuxuan looked like, no matter what he looked like, he could not compare to Qi Motai, not only in appearance, but also in his qualities as a human being.

She also couldn't understand what Yu Muyan was thinking. She had such an outstanding cousin, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, but why did she just look down on him and insist on putting her best interest on this scumbag Lu Yuxuan?

Perhaps, this is a common problem for female protagonists?

No wonder she couldn’t wear the body of the heroine, she really couldn’t let go of such a handsome man.

Yu Muqin, who was standing next to Qi Motai, glanced at Lin Weiqiao and Wan Jie'er who suddenly appeared with dissatisfaction, with a slightly disgusted expression.

She had planned to come to Qi's house today for a long time. She heard from various sources that Qi Motai would return home today, and Huiyang County Lady happened to be returning to her parents' home.
