The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Mu Xiyue turned and walked into the main hall. Perhaps all the masters of the mansion were there. There was a large table full of people sitting, with an empty seat left at the bottom.

Mu Xiyue didn't care where she sat. She walked over and sat down directly. She looked around and made sure that no one at the table had any impression of her childhood.

Sitting directly above her was a slightly overweight old lady, presumably the original owner's grandmother. On either side of the old lady sat Mu Fengnian and Liu Mei'er, while the two women at the bottom were Mu Fengnian's concubines.

Judging from their ages, the other five people are probably Mu Fengnian’s children.

When Liu Mei'er saw Mu Xiyue come in, she smiled and said, "Yue'er, today's dinner is specially held for you. You have been away from home since you were a child and you may not know your family very well. Let me introduce you."

Liu Mei'er didn't dare to call herself mother anymore, for fear of being criticized by Mu Xiyue again.

Mu Xiyue felt that this family were all Ninja Turtles. They were humiliated by her in Wenqiyuan, but Liu Mei'er could still speak to her in a soft voice as if nothing had happened. Her skills must be very profound!

Seeing Mu Xiyue smiling, Liu Meier felt relieved. She pointed to the old lady at the top and said, "Yue'er, this is your grandmother. She loved you the most when you were a child."

The original owner, Mu Xiyue, had no memory of whether her grandmother loved her when she was a child, but she clearly saw the flash of disgust in the old lady's eyes when she entered the dining hall just now.

Mu Xiyue had thrown a tantrum in Wenqiyuan as a warning, but now she wasn't going to cause any trouble. When Liu Mei'er introduced her, she good-naturedly called her "Grandma."

Liu Mei'er pointed to the two concubines below and said, "This is Concubine Xu, and this is Concubine Fang."

Then he introduced the five younger ones: the second lady Mu Xiyu, the third lady Mu Xixue, the eldest son Mu Weian, the second son Mu Weiping, and the third son Mu Weiliang.

Among the five little ones, Mu Xixue was the only one who smiled at Mu Xiyue and called her "big sister". The other four acted as if they didn't see her.

After Liu Mei'er finished introducing the old lady, she spoke, "I'm glad you're back, Xiyue. You didn't learn any etiquette in the countryside. Tomorrow, grandmother will send a nanny to teach you. The eldest daughter of our marquis's mansion can't be ignorant of everything. Okay, let's eat first!"

Mu Xiyue just smiled. As a modern person, she had watched many TV dramas and read many novels before the end of the world. The rules were all similar. Did she still need you to teach her?

The atmosphere during the meal was very strange. Only Mu Xiyue ate very comfortably. She ate the food with big mouthfuls. She stood up to grab the food that she couldn't reach, which made the old lady frown.

After dinner, when she left the dining hall, Xiaotao was already waiting for her outside.

When they returned to the courtyard, Mu Xiyue asked Xiaotao, "Did you have enough for lunch?"

Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady, you'll have enough to eat. I've told the kitchen to get some raw ingredients later and we'll cook our own food. The main kitchen is quite far from our yard, so the food will get cold by the time we get it here. Also, I don't think the people in this mansion have good intentions towards you, young lady. I'm afraid their food is poisoned. Isn't that what the storyteller in the county said? We'd better be careful."

Mu Xiyue laughed, "You're right, you're aware! Let's cook it ourselves. I still have a lot of ingredients in my space!"

Nanny Chen, who had gone to pick them up in the afternoon, came over with four maids. "My lady, Madam said that there are too few people in your courtyard. Madam arranged these four people to serve you."

Mu Xiyue glanced at the four of them. They looked young, about thirteen or fourteen years old. Except for one who was a little cautious, the other three were a little arrogant.

"What are your names, and which courtyard did you work for?"

The four of them reported their names one by one. Two of them were odd jobs in Liu Meir's yard, and two were odd jobs in the front yard.

Mu Xiyue sat at the table and looked at the four people in silence, tapping the table with her fingers.

The four of them felt the eldest lady's gaze was very oppressive. After a long while, Mu Xiyue spoke, "My courtyard is small, so we don't need so many people. Chun Ya will stay, and Nanny Chen can take the others back! Oh, and bring me Chun Ya's indenture contract."

Chun Ya was the most timid one. She immediately knelt down and saluted Mu Xiyue, "Chun Ya greets the young lady."

Nanny Chen's mouth twitched. "Miss, please let all four of you stay. Having only two people serving you is not befitting of your status."

Mu Xiyue looked at Nanny Chen with a half-smile and said, "I don't like to say it a second time, Nanny Chen, you are just doing things for others, is it necessary to suffer?"

Nanny Chen shuddered and immediately bent down and said, "Yes, that old servant took the three of them back. Chun Ya's indenture is with Madam. I will tell Madam what the young lady meant."

After saying that, Nanny Chen quickly retreated with the three of them.

Mu Xiyue then looked at Chun Ya and said, "Are you a family-born child or were you bought into the mansion later?"

Before Mu Xiyue came, Chun Ya heard the servants in the mansion talking about how terrible the eldest lady was. She didn't dare to hide it and knelt down in front of Mu Xiyue, trembling.

"My dear Miss, I was bought into the mansion three years ago."

Mu Xiyue found it funny to see her frightened look. Was she really that scary?

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"I have parents, an older brother and two younger brothers at home. My family is poor, so I'm being sold."

Mu Xiyue nodded. "Well, I don't have any other requirements for working for me. The only thing is loyalty. Xiaotao, make some arrangements for her. Chun Ya will take us around the mansion later."

In fact, there was nothing much to arrange. Xiao Tao was Mu Xiyue's maid on the surface, but in reality she had never done anything to serve anyone. When the two of them were in Mujia Village, they did everything together.

Chun Ya went back to her original residence, took out all her clothes and moved into the yard here.

After Chun Ya settled Mu Xiyue down, she asked her to lead the way around the entire marquis' mansion.

Mu Xiyu, Mu Weian and Mu Weiping are all born to Liu Mei'er. The three of them are considered legitimate sons and daughters, and they all have their own courtyards. The courtyards are also very exquisite, slightly smaller than Wenqiyuan, but much larger than Mu Xiyue's courtyard.

Mu Xixue is Aunt Xu's daughter. She is twelve years old this year. She does not have her own courtyard and lives with Aunt Xu.

Mu Weiliang was eight years old. He was Aunt Fang's son and lived in the same courtyard with her.

Liu Meir's Yaxin Courtyard is the best courtyard in the entire marquis's mansion. Not only is the courtyard large, but the flowers, plants and rockery inside are also beautifully arranged.

Mu Fengnian is worthy of being a marquis. His mansion is so big. I wonder how rich his family is?

In the evening, Xiaotao took Chunya to the big kitchen to get some food. The people in the kitchen didn't make things difficult for them, and when they came back, their hands were full of things.

Mu Xiyue went forward to take some of the things and went to the small kitchen to put them away. "You've got quite a complete set. Not bad. What kind of meat is this?"

Xiao Tao said excitedly, "This is venison. The people in the kitchen said it's a rare find. It came in from outside the city this morning. We've never hunted deer there before, so I thought I'd try some to see if it tastes good. I'm very kind and only cut off a small amount. I'll leave the big head for them!"

With Chun Ya around, Mu Xiyue couldn't take anything from the space. Fortunately, the two of them got all the seasonings from the big kitchen, and Mu Xiyue cooked the dishes herself.
