I was a housekeeper in ancient times

In just a few days, Zhang's mother packed her clothes and said she was going back home. Before leaving, she met Lin Weiqiao alone.

"Aunt, have you come up with a solution? There's no need to be so anxious. Stay a few more days."

"Alas, ever since you told me about this that day, I have been thinking about it every night when I go to sleep. Seeing that Lian'er is pregnant, but this matter has not been resolved, I feel more and more uneasy. I think, instead of worrying here, I might as well go back and think of a solution. If this matter cannot be resolved, I don't have to come back to this uncle's mansion."

"Aunt, this is serious. If you need help, please tell me immediately."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you, Mom. Tiger is in the front yard, please take good care of him."

She gladly agreed and watched Zhang's mother leave. Although the matter had not been done yet, she had already put most of the burden in her heart down.

She turned around and went to the big kitchen. Now she loved to stroll around the big kitchen whenever she had nothing to do. Firstly, there were fresh food in the big kitchen, and Mrs. Huang loved to feed her. After staying in the big kitchen for half an hour, she would be so full that she could not walk anymore.

Secondly, it is to serve as a reminder to people like Aunt Wu who like to do small things, so that they don’t really think that the big kitchen is a lawless place where they can do whatever they want.

She went to the big kitchen before noon. This was the time when the big kitchen was the busiest and when the food was the most abundant.

When she arrived, Huang Niangzi was scooping up some fried lotus root boxes that were still dripping with oil. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Mom, you're here just in time. These are freshly fried lotus root boxes. Come and try them."

She and Huang Niangzi had a mutual relationship. She often asked Huang Niangzi or Chef Huang to make her favorite food. She would not let others work for nothing, so she gave Huang Niangzi a lot of ingredients.

Whenever she had something she thought was suitable, she would give it to Huang Niangzi, and Huang Niangzi would never be polite to her.

After a few visits, we became more familiar with each other.

Her mouth was full of oil. Huang Niangzi took a spoon to test the oil in the pot and said, "Don't eat so much, mom. We will have fried meatballs later."

Xiaohan was not so busy at this time, so he brought her a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. "Mom, it looks rounder than before. Hey, why is there no red one? I left a meat dumpling for her."

At the moment, her mouth was so busy that she had no time to talk. "I don't know where she went. When it was time and she was hungry, she found me."

Aunt Wu, who was patrolling, glanced at her sideways, her face drooping, her eyes full of resentment and hatred.

The first wife proposed two conditions for handing over the property to the public, one of which was to check the accounts of the big kitchen. As the manager of the big kitchen, Aunt Wu knew very well that the accounts of the big kitchen would not withstand checking. If they were really checked, she would be the first to be in trouble.

She knew that it was Lin Weiqiao who proposed this condition, so how could she not feel resentment? Because she was afraid of being checked, she had been staying up all night to re-do the accounts, for fear that someone would find out the flaws, and she didn't dare to let her family take things from the big kitchen again.

Besides, there are many people in the kitchen, not all of them are from the second wife. If someone tells on her one day, she would be finished.

Things are different now. The status of the first wife has gradually risen, and the maids and servants under the first wife are not as easy to fool as before, which makes it difficult for her to cope with it for a while.

In the final analysis, it’s all Lin Weiqiao’s fault!

Seeing Lin Weiqiao sitting in a corner, eating heartily, she taunted, "Oh, Madam Lin really knows how to pick the right time to come, and she only knows how to pick the best food. The old lady and the others haven't even tried it, but Madam is the first to eat it. It's fine once or twice, but if it happens every time, people who don't know the situation would think it's the young madam in the mansion eating."

Lin Weiqiao didn't even raise her eyes. Eating was more important. Compared with the oil and water that Aunt Wu got from the big kitchen, what was this little bit worth to her? She could even eat a roasted suckling pig.

After eating a bowl of fried meatballs, she saw that there was some duck soup ready, so she asked Xiaohan to get a bowl for her.

Seeing that Lin Weiqiao ignored her and became even more arrogant, Aunt Wu was so angry that she threw the iron spoon in her hand heavily and raised her voice and said, "Mother Lin, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Lin Weiqiao stood up and wiped the oil off her mouth. "Oh, Aunt Wu is talking to me, I really didn't hear it. I wonder what you want me to do, Aunt Wu?"

"I dare not order you to do so. It is you, mother, who has been overstepping the bounds of propriety recently. You cannot rely on your age and status as a respectable person in front of the lady to eat and drink in the big kitchen at will. The big kitchen is not opened for mother alone."

"Oh, really? Don't you know how much the kitchen lost from what I ate? Did I even finish the old lady's and the others' portions? You only ate a few bites, but you're still feeling bad? You didn't run this kitchen by yourself, did you? Besides, I only ate, unlike some people who ate and took away, and made a lot of money."

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room fell silent. They turned their heads towards them silently and held their breath. No one dared to speak.

Aunt Wu was even more stunned. Lin Weiqiao's words seemed to be a slap in her face. She felt her face burning. Everyone knew that she had made money behind her back, but who dared to say it so openly?

Isn't this a clear sign of a falling out?

She sneered a few times, smiling with her face but not her heart, "I don't know who Mama Lin is talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Lin Weiqiao didn’t want to play dumb with this kind of person, so she said directly: “Whoever asks should tell the truth, whoever feels guilty should tell the truth, whoever plays dumb should tell the truth.”

Aunt Wu said viciously: "Mother Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. It's fine if you talk nonsense yourself, but don't try to frame others! You can't throw dirty water on others!"

"Hey, why are you so angry? I just said that, did you take it seriously? I didn't say it was you, why are you so anxious?"

"You...I think you are confused. Don't you know what to say and what not to say?"

Lin Weiqiao continued to eat the fried meatballs. She knew that Aunt Wu would make a lot of money. Now that she couldn't produce any evidence, she might as well cheat. Unexpectedly, Aunt Wu was not good at cheating and jumped up and down after just a few words.

Seeing that everyone was watching the fun, Aunt Wu scolded, "What are you looking at! Have you finished the work in your hands? Hurry up and get busy!" As she spoke, she looked at Lin Weiqiao, gritting her teeth.

Afterwards, Xiao Han quietly asked Lin Wei Qiao, "Mom, aren't you afraid of offending Aunt Wu? Aunt Wu is the most vindictive, and anyone who offends her will have a hard time."

Lin Weiqiao looked indifferent, "So what? She can't poison my food, right? Aunt Wu is just a termite in the kitchen, she is fat and eats a lot of food. Why is Aunt Wu the only one in charge of the kitchen? Her cooking skills are so-so."

Xiaohan was still worried, "Auntie Wu has many relatives in the mansion. What if they make trouble for Mom..."
