Yan Canglan had been hungry all night and now he was eating like whirlwind, with his mouth full of food and his cheeks puffed up.

Yan Shuqin glanced at her brother secretly, thinking, isn't he going on a hunger strike? Isn't there anything anyone can do to stop him?

Yan Canglan not only ate heartily himself, but also urged his sister to eat quickly to prevent that vicious woman from snatching the food.

Lu Yundi folded his arms across his chest and watched the brother and sister finish their breakfast with a smile without saying a word.

She nodded gently, turned around and instructed the maids around her, "Remember, if the young master goes on a hunger strike again in the future, don't send him food, so as to avoid waste and save the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion."

The maids all agreed in unison and dispersed.

Lu Yundi still had a faint smile on his face as he turned and left Fufeng Garden.

Yan Canglan looked at her gracefully leaving back, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Sister, did you hear that? That vicious stepmother actually wanted to starve me to death. What does she think of us?"

Yan Shuqin put down the bowl in her hand, frowned, and looked at him worriedly: "Brother, we can't just let her do whatever she wants. The Loyalty and Bravery Marquis Mansion is the legacy of our grandparents, she has no right to make the decision on her own."

Yan Canglan slammed the table heavily, burning with anger: "Does she think that she can manipulate us at will just because she is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion? I must let her know that neither of us brothers and sisters are easy to bully."

Yan Shuqin's eyes flashed with determination, and she gently patted her brother's hand: "Brother, don't be angry. Why don't we protest with practical actions? Starting from today, we will eat a little more to let her see that we are not so easily starved."

Yan Canglan nodded, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Good idea, we should not only eat more, but also eat well, so that she knows that we in the Yan family have backbone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Canglan's eyes suddenly lit up and he suggested, "Come on, sister, let's quietly follow that bad woman. Since she has the housekeeper's card, I want to see how a concubine's daughter of a Shangshu Mansion is qualified to manage household affairs? Let's go and see what's going on!"

Yan Shuqin hesitated slightly, but finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and nodded.

The two of them quietly followed Lu Yundi and arrived at the gate of Jinghong Garden.

At this time, all the servants in the mansion had gathered at the gate of Jinghong Garden. They lined up in order, waiting for Lu Yundi's inspection. Lu Yundi looked around sharply, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Butler, take them to pay their respects." Lu Yundi ordered lightly.

The butler hurried forward and shouted to the servants, "Quick, salute the madam!"

The servants knelt down hurriedly and shouted in unison: "Good luck to the Madam!"

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with no expression on his face.

Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin hid in the dark, watching all this, sneering in their hearts.

"Butler, come here." Lu Yundi suddenly called out.

The butler walked tremblingly to Lu Yundi and bowed to receive his orders.

"I heard that there has been some unrest in the mansion recently, and the servants have been talking about it in private. What do you think?" Lu Yundi stared at the housekeeper sharply.

The housekeeper's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly said, "Madam, these are just trivial matters. The servants are ignorant and talking nonsense. I have warned them. This will never happen again in the future."

Lu Yundi sneered: "What's the use of warning? They are dissatisfied in their hearts, and they don't say it, but they are laughing at me in their hearts. Look at them, which one of them doesn't have flickering eyes and is absent-minded?"

The butler didn't dare to answer, he just lowered his head and remained silent.

"Butler, do you think I am qualified to manage this household?" Lu Yundi suddenly asked.

The housekeeper was stunned and said hurriedly: "Madam, you misunderstood. You come from a famous family and are talented. It is natural for you to manage household affairs. The servants are talking about it just because they are jealous of your ability."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "In that case, then tell them that from today on, I will personally manage the household chores and let them see whether I, Lu Yundi, am just a name for nothing."

The housekeeper's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Madam, this... this is not allowed. The affairs of the mansion are complicated, how can you handle it alone?"

Lu Yundi's eyes were firm: "Housekeeper, don't worry, I know what to do. As long as you help me, I believe this family will be more orderly."

The housekeeper had no choice but to nod and agree.

Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin hid in the dark, watching all this, secretly surprised. They didn't expect that Lu Yundi was so confident that he dared to manage the housework himself.

"Sister, do you think she can manage it well?" Yan Canglan asked in a low voice.

Yan Shuqin shook her head slightly: "I don't know, but looking at her, she seems to be full of confidence. Let's observe first."

The two continued to hide in the dark, watching Lu Yundi and the housekeeper arrange the work for the servants one by one. Lu Yundi's eyes were sharp and his words were strict. Although the servants were dissatisfied, they did not dare to slack off.

At this time, a kitchen servant stumbled over and hurriedly reported to Lu Yundi: "Madam, there is a fire in the kitchen!"

Lu Yundi's face changed and he immediately rushed to the kitchen with the housekeeper and several servants.

Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin were curious and followed quietly.

In the kitchen, the fire had spread and smoke filled the air. Lu Yundi decisively ordered: "Quick, put out the fire! Protect the ingredients and utensils in the kitchen!"

The servants all took action, some with buckets of water, some with pumps and hemp ropes, and together they put out the fire.

Lu Yundi stood aside, giving orders in a calm and orderly manner.

The fire was gradually put out, and the damage in the kitchen was minimized. Lu Yundi looked at everything in front of him and secretly felt lucky.

Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin watched this scene and secretly admired it in their hearts.

They didn't expect that Lu Yundi was so capable that she not only dared to manage housework, but also could stabilize the situation in times of crisis.

"Sister, it seems we have underestimated this woman." Yan Canglan sighed.

Yan Shuqin nodded slightly: "Yes, although she was born a concubine's daughter, her ability and courage should not be underestimated. We should be careful in the future."

The two of them quietly left the kitchen and returned to their room.

At this time, Lu Yundi was arranging the servants to clean the kitchen. Her eyes were firm and her lips were slightly raised, as if she had foreseen the success of her management of housework.

Lu Yundi sat on the official hat chair under the eaves, listening calmly to the servants' whispers. When their topic came to an end, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes as sharp as torches, and swept over the whispering servants. She said calmly, "Are you discussing about my identity?"

The servants were speechless for a moment and lowered their heads. One of the brave maids raised her head and answered carefully: "Madam, the servants are indeed dissatisfied and have some opinions, but please understand that this is because they do not know the truth."
