Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

Xiao Lan looked at the sumptuous lunch on the table, including sweet and sour fish, pork rib soup, and a few red and green delicacies that she couldn't name. In short, it looked very appetizing.

She thought that the best thing she had eaten here before was the dim sum. Even though the chef had provided good ingredients, he didn't have much cooking skills.

"The restaurants on our street are really good!" Xiao Lan picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, her eyebrows raised with joy.

"How is it? Is it delicious? The restaurant chosen by these two servants is really good! There were customers in the store at noon. They selected four restaurants and ordered some from each. You can try some from each one!" Jasmine smelled the fragrance of the food, and the previous haze was much dispelled. She was also hungry and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"Sit down and eat!" Xiao Lan reached out to pull her, but she moved away.

"How can that be? The rules must be followed!" Mother Xu picked up some dishes from the table and put them into the bowl to feed Xin'er, not forgetting to glance at Jasmine as a reminder!

"Eating alone is tasteless!" Xiao Lan put down her chopsticks and looked at Haitang. Although the two girls were not injured, they were tired from the night and Xiao Lan could hear their stomachs rumbling.

"Madam, wait until you finish eating, then we will eat!" Haitang looked aggrieved when she saw Xiao Lan not eating.

"We are friends for life and death! You must sit down and have a meal with me today, tomorrow, and every day from now on!"

Although the family was in chaos, and Xue Wu had just said she was still in danger, Xiao Lan felt much more relaxed now that she no longer had to put on a front in front of Sun Shaohua, and didn't have to worry about Mother Yu and Housekeeper Wang trying to kill her. She couldn't help but sigh, perhaps this was the protagonist's halo!

She had always been willing to live a carefree life, and it was like that before, and it was still like that now that she was in this place! She felt that her life of traveling through time could only be officially begun now.

"Madam, if someone sees us eating at the same table with the servants, they will definitely say we are impolite and gossip about us!" Seeing that Xin'er really couldn't eat anymore, Mother Xu finally stopped feeding her. She collected Xin'er's bowl and chopsticks, stood next to Xiao Lan, and picked up some food for her.

"Mother Xu, do we live our lives by rules? Since you insist so much, forget it!" Xiao Lan picked up her chopsticks and looked at everyone with a serious expression. "I order you to sit down and eat with me! If you don't want to sit, then take your indentures and go find your own way!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, knowing that Xiao Lan was just trying to scare them. But Jasmine still turned around and went out to get three sets of bowls and chopsticks, handing them to Haitang and Mother Xu, and taking a set for herself.

"Thank you, Madam!" She poured herself a bowl of pork rib soup and took a big sip. The delicious flavor and warm temperature blossomed in her mouth, making her smile. "This pork rib soup is so delicious! It's much better than what our chef makes!"

Haitang and Xu's mother exchanged a glance, then finally shoved some food into their mouths. However, the three of them ultimately didn't sit down. Xiao Lan knew some things needed to be done more slowly, so she was already quite satisfied.

Xin'er watched everyone eating from the side, burped, and said in a baby voice, "Excuse me!", which made everyone laugh.

-----------------

Time always passes quickly in the busyness. In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the bandits broke into Sun's house.

During these days, the Sun family had not only gained a few strong servants, but also hired a few servants and maids. Many people in the family were injured last time, so it was always good to have more people to work.

Mei'er, who had suggested buying more maids, was very proud when she saw that everyone said that the lady had listened to her suggestion.

Sun Shaohua could only recuperate in the house every day, and it was difficult for him to get out of bed. Xiao Lan admired her courage to keep him that day, so she generously sent two servants to serve him, and Chi Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Fang Qingqing's high fever subsided on the second day, and her skin and flesh grew well and had begun to scab over. Xiaoqing and Xiaobai took care of her very attentively every day.

Doctor Li's trauma medicine is really effective. Lian Xiner's affected area has begun to scab over. But because of this, two people have to take turns watching her every night to prevent her from scratching herself.

Li Si and Qian Jiu eventually stayed. One of them had a serious shoulder injury, and the other had some mobility issues, so they couldn't do heavy work and couldn't find a job earning money elsewhere. So they stayed with Jasmine, helping to manage the servants and maids.

The small kitchen was taking a long time to build, but Xiao Lan didn't mind. She had already booked a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for the entire house at the best restaurant. She had handed over the responsibility to her two servants, Sailong and Saihu. They had done a good job last time, and the daily meal orders were calculated neatly, which made Xiao Lan very satisfied.

"Jasmine, come with me for a walk!" Xiao Lan can now come and go freely, but in the past ten days, she has not had time to go out.

"No, Madam, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Even if we don't have to prepare a banquet at home, we still need to buy some things. Didn't you say that Madam Sun's room should be cleaned up so that Mr. and Madam Xiao can stay there when they come? I have to replace everything in there with new ones. I'm busy!"

Xiao Lan looked at Jasmine's workaholic look and shook her head helplessly. Ever since she handed the housekeeper job to Jasmine, she had completely gotten the hang of it!

"Weren't you willing to be lazy and live a good life before? Why are you so dedicated now?" Xiao Lan complained.

"What do you mean by dedicated?" Jasmine didn't understand. She watched the servants carrying bottles and jars, making a clanking sound. "Don't knock them. Put this in that yard. I'll ask Mei'er to arrange it later. Don't do it! You don't arrange it properly at all!"

"Hey, I didn't give you a chance to use your skills before. It was my fault!" Xiao Lan turned around and saw Haitang looking at him expectantly.

"You want to go?"

Haitang smiled widely and nodded vigorously.

"Let's go! Let's go together!" Xiao Lan pulled her arm and pulled her to his side.

Today, she was desperate to go out for a walk. Xin'er was recovering well, and with Mama Xu's thoughtful care, Fang Qingqing would soon recover. Sun Shaohua also asked her to arrange his mother's funeral. Xiao Lan was reluctant at first, but then, thinking that the dead were the most important, she invited a monk to perform a ritual and buried the body! Sun Shaohua was furious at home, saying that Xiao Lan didn't keep vigil on the seventh day after death, and there was no light in the house when his mother came home! His mother wanted to bury the body in the ancestral tomb, and asked Xiao Lan why she didn't watch over it herself, in case something went wrong along the way...

But Xiao Lan had only heard these things from hearsay. After all, she wouldn't go to Sun Shaohua's house and listen to him bragging. That man couldn't even get out of bed to throw a pot on his mother's head. Why should she, who had been bullied to death by that old woman, be responsible for his funeral? It was good enough that she buried him. She wasn't a saint!

This was the first time Xiao Lan went out on the street since she last went to the county government office. Seeing the bustling streets, she felt that her good days were coming!

Her parents were arriving in the next two days, and Xiao Lan was filled with anticipation. She hoped to see them soon. Her current self looked exactly like her modern self, and her parents were exactly the same. She desperately needed the intimacy of meeting an acquaintance.

Xiao Lan became increasingly excited as she thought about it. She dragged Haitang into a fabric store. She wanted to make some nice clothes for Xin'er to wear during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She also wanted to pick out some for Fang Qingqing and Moli. She wanted to introduce her daughter and her best friend to her parents in all their splendor.

The women went into the fabric store to choose fabrics and styles. The constables disguised as servants who followed them were too embarrassed to go in, so they just waited at the door.

Xiao Lan sensed something was amiss as soon as she entered. Several women who had been selecting fabrics immediately hid aside and started pointing and commenting. Although they were well-dressed, they looked like gossipy women from the city.

"Is this the man?"

"It seems so. I saw her when she was a girl. She's a little older now, but her appearance hasn't changed."

"You spent the whole night cuddling with that thief?"

"Yes! The washerwoman across from my house used to work for her. I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Then Master Sun can still tolerate her?"

"Why not? She's the only one left at home now. My mother-in-law was murdered, and Mr. Sun is bedridden and a cripple. This woman is the one who's in charge."

"Could it be that she hired the bandits to harm her husband's family..."
