I was a housekeeper in ancient times

She was just about to have a good rant to show off her status as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, Xiaohan said, "It has nothing to do with the kitchen, it's Sister Huan'er."

Sister Huaner?

Her brain suddenly froze, and a pretty but lazy girl appeared in her mind.

She curled her lips. According to the original owner's memory, this Sister Huan was her adopted daughter.

This made her so angry that she lost her mood to eat. "Go call someone over here."

Xiaohan agreed and turned to leave.

She sorted out the original owner's family relationships. The original owner lost her husband early in life and raised two daughters and a son by herself.

The eldest daughter, Xijie'er, got married last year. The eldest son, Shanger, also got married at the end of last year, marrying the original owner's niece, Zhenyu.

The second daughter, Huan Jie'er, is fifteen years old this year and still young, so she stayed with her in the Bo's mansion.

After a moment, a young girl came over. She had a fair complexion, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and a rosy face. She was quite pretty.

This is her adopted daughter, Huan Jie’er.

Huan Jie'er behaved in a disorderly manner, cracking melon seeds as she walked, with her sleeves half rolled up to her elbows, a conspicuous kingfisher hairpin and silk flowers pinned to her bun, pearl earrings on her ears, a carved silver bracelet inlaid with gold and jade on her slender wrist, and a light pink silk skirt.

If you don’t know the whole situation, you might think she is an unmarried young lady from some wealthy family because of her attire.

Seeing the accessories on Sister Huan, she finally understood why the original owner had so few belongings. It turned out that they were all on Sister Huan.

"Mom, why did you call me here? I still have work to do." Huan Jie'er came in and sat down, completely unaware of the anger in her mother's eyes.

“Let me ask you, were you the one who picked these dishes?” Lin Weiqiao suppressed her anger and looked at her daughter in front of her, her teeth almost breaking.

"Yeah. The wine-steamed chicken was not good. The wine smell was too strong and the chicken was too tough. The texture was not good. The duck soup was not bad, but it was too little. The people in the kitchen were really stingy. They didn't even give me a few more pieces of duck meat."

"You touched my food without asking me? You let me eat the food you left over?"

Xiaohan saw that something was not right, so he tactfully closed the door and went out. He thought that since Mother Lin fell ill this time, her temper had changed a lot. In the past, she would have wanted to give all the good things to Sister Huan, so why was she fussing about this little meal today?

Huan Jie'er in the room also realized this. Her mother was actually angry with her because she picked the food? Was her mother sick and stupid?

"Mom, why are you..."

"I remember that during the few days I was sick, you didn't seem to come to see me much, right? Not to mention taking care of me, you didn't even pour me a bowl of water."

"Then I am busy, right? I am working in the fourth girl's room."

"The fourth girl hasn't been found yet. May I ask what job you do?"

Huan Jie choked up, holding onto Lin Weiqiao's arm and acting coquettishly, "Oh, Mom, it's not that I haven't come to see you. I have, but you were asleep every time I came, so you didn't know. Even if I'm not good enough, I'm still much better than my big brother and big sister. They haven't even come to see you."

Lin Weiqiao calmed down and realized belatedly that since the child was not her biological child, there was no reason for her to be angry.

But on second thought, if nothing unexpected happens, she will have to live with this body for the rest of her life, so the original owner's children will be her children.

If you are not angry now, you might be angry to death in the future.

She took a deep breath, and seeing Sister Huan like this, she knew that the original owner was a loving mother who doted on her daughter, a great mother who burned herself out and dedicated herself.

She sneered. The original owner didn't know how to teach the child, and neither did she, but she wouldn't spoil him.

Seeing her mother didn't say anything, Huan Jie'er thought her anger had subsided and was about to take the half bowl of duck soup. She had drunk half a bowl before she came and thought it tasted delicious, but too little.

As soon as her hand touched the edge of the bowl, there was a "bang" and she was hit by her mother!

"mother?"

"What should I drink if you drink it? Do you want me to drink the northwest wind?"

"I……"

"Is there not enough food for you in the mansion? You even take your mother's food. Are you afraid that I, your mother, will starve to death?"

Huan Jie'er was already feeling wronged after being hit on the hand, and when she heard her mother speak so harshly about her, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Lin Weiqiao tasted the duck soup and it was indeed delicious. She was also afraid that Huan Jieer would notice her weirdness, so she didn’t want to go too far. She softened her tone a little, “When mom was sick this time, she dreamed about your dead father.”

As she spoke, she gulped down half a bowl of duck soup. Afraid that the food would get cold and not taste good, she finished her meal first before acting.

Unexpectedly, after solving Yu Muyan's problem, she still had her own family affairs to deal with.

Fortunately, there are only a few children and no one else, otherwise after this drama, there would be no way for people to survive.

Maybe Sister Huan was yelled at and was a little scared. After she finished her meal, she even remembered to pour her a cup of tea.

"Your father said that I spoiled you guys too much and made you all behave badly." She said while picking her teeth. The chicken was a little stuck in her teeth because the original owner had a bad tooth.

"I'm already this old, how much longer can I keep doing this? What will you do when I'm really no longer able to do it and leave you guys behind? I can spoil you for a day, but I can't spoil you for a lifetime."

"Alas, you have seen the current situation. Without the master, Madam is soft-hearted and easily bullied. If I hadn't been tougher, would you still be able to dress so respectably and eat and drink so well like you do now? Only when I live well can you live well."

After all, Sister Huan was young, so after hearing what she said, she believed it all.

She patted Huan Jie'er's shoulder and said, "I spoiled you too much in the past and made you disrespectful. You dress so ostentatiously and act so casually, which easily leads to gossip and jealousy. It's true that I am the mistress's companion, but this mansion doesn't just belong to the mistress. From now on, mother will be stricter with you and discipline you properly."

Sister Huan hung her head, not looking very happy.

She doesn't care. She has said both good and bad things anyway. It depends on Sister Huan whether she listens to it or not.

Even if she is your own mother, it’s good enough that she cares about you to this extent.

You can't just raise a child alone, you also have to teach him, otherwise what's the difference between that and raising a pig.

After leaving the room, Huan Jie'er was still wondering, how come her mother had become so talkative? She didn't even seem like her real mother anymore.

But she didn't think much about it. She heard that some people's temperaments would change to some extent after experiencing serious illness or disaster. At least her mother changed for the better.

After dealing with this troublesome matter, Lin Weiqiao lazily lay on the bed, stretching, feeling so comfortable.

Although she had only been here for less than a day, she had already completely gotten used to her identity and situation, and was able to handle all kinds of things with ease.

"Oh, oh, it's only the first day and I'm already exhausted." She fell asleep.
