Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 7: The Prime Minister's Early Death and His Wife 5: Dinner Incident

Four maids came in quickly. Two of them cleaned the room, while two dressed and combed her hair, their movements brisk and efficient.

Now that Nan Xi has the original owner's memories, she can completely identify with the person.

These four were the maids the original owner brought with her from the general's mansion as a dowry. The one who dressed her was called Dongmei, the one she felt radiated with hostility and the best looking of the four. Judging from the timeline, this person should have already taken refuge with Min Rouer by now, and Min Rouer promised to make her Zhao Wenxuan's concubine once she became his wife.

"Miss, why do I feel that your skin has become thinner and whiter?" Dongmei flattered her, but her tone could not hide the sourness.

——Not only is she whiter, why does she feel that the young lady also has a faint and pleasant fragrance? This is not good. Will the son-in-law be seduced by the young lady again?

Chun Tao, who was combing Nan Xi's hair, echoed the words, "I also think that the young lady has become more beautiful. Even her hair is black and smooth. The son-in-law will surely be happy to see her! Who knows, he will come to the Madam's courtyard more often in the future..."

Of the personal servants Nan Xi brought with her, only Aunt Xu refused to change her address and continued to call her "Miss," and then there was Dongmei. Everyone else changed their address to "Madam." However, Aunt Xu and Dongmei's reasons for not changing their address were probably different.

Unfortunately, the original owner never paid attention to this in his previous life, which is why he drank all kinds of medicinal foods with added ingredients that Dongmei brought him again and again.

Nan Xi was also a little curious, as she didn't know what the original owner looked like. She told Chun Tao to fetch the bronze mirror.

The woman in the mirror had black hair like clouds, combed into a half-up, half-down bun by Chuntao. Beneath her arched eyebrows were large, bright eyes, a delicate nose and mouth, and rosy cheeks. While her appearance didn't resemble her own, she was also an undisputed beauty. She was more than suitable for that scumbag, Zhao Wenxuan.

"Oh right, ninety-nine," Nan Xi asked the system in her mind, "The original owner doesn't look like me, why is she also called Nan Xi? Should I call myself by my real name in every small world from now on?"

[No, host. This is because in the first small world, in order to allow the novice host to better adapt, the quick-transmigration game will try to put the host into the same person with the same name. This will not happen in the future.]

"Oh," Nan Xi expressed her understanding.

[Host, don't worry. Even if you need to use the original owner's name when completing missions, your appearance will become more and more like yours after the journey due to the influence of your spirit.] This is why it prefers to choose beautiful women as hosts. Sometimes, even beauty pills can't save hosts with poor foundations. Who understands...?

"There are still beauty pills?" Feeling the fluctuation of Jiujiujiu's information, Nan Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "Take one."

[This...] Jiujiujiu didn't feel sad, but just didn't understand a little bit [Host, you don't need this body] It's already beautiful enough.

"Nonsense, who thinks they are too good-looking?" Nan Xi rolled her eyes - she was obsessed with looks: "If I eat this thing, I won't suddenly become a different person, right?"

[For hosts who won't, their skin will just gradually become whiter, and their facial features will be slightly refined, but the overall improvement is still limited.]

"Okay, more then."

Jiujiujiu gave him a bottle directly. These things were all left by the previous owner, so he didn't feel bad about giving them away.

Just at this moment, Aunt Xu came over with freshly baked osmanthus yogurt. Nan Xi took a beauty pill and threw the rest of the bottle into her own space. Her movements were so fast that no one noticed.

It was getting dark outside and it was time for dinner.

The maids and servants followed Madam Xu, bringing in the dinner in a steady stream. Nan Xi took a look: the table was filled with pickled duck, crystal goose feet, stir-fried vegetables, and scallion-fried sturgeon. Each dish wasn't large, but the variety was impressive.

The staple food was a large plate of Eight Treasures Cake, but the maid only cut two small exquisite pieces and placed them in front of her. The aroma was so fragrant that it made her mouth water.

Nan Xi, a person from the end of the world, hadn't eaten such a rich, homely meal in how long? She instantly felt that this time travel was a great success.

"There's no need to serve the dishes today. Nanny, please sit down and eat with me," Nan Xi ordered.

When Dongmei heard that there was no need to serve the dishes, her face lit up with joy, because in the past she was responsible for serving the dishes to the young lady.

When she heard the second half of the sentence, she started to feel indignant again: Humph, although she didn't want to serve Nan Xi anymore, she didn't want others to steal her reputation. Why did Aunt Xu, an old woman who was almost despised by the young lady, get to eat at the same table with the young lady? She had never even received such treatment!

"Miss, Madam Xu is old and has bad teeth, so I will stay and serve you."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Nan Xi's expression turned grim. Dongmei had recently taken advantage of the young lady's favor and increasingly disregarded them, even daring to make up stories about them. Unfortunately, since the young lady didn't say anything, they didn't dare to say anything either.

Aunt Xu didn't want to argue with a little girl like Dongmei over such a trivial matter. Besides, as a servant, it was not right for her to eat at the same table with the young lady. "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. However, I have just eaten in the kitchen. I will serve you..."

Nan Xi was about to speak when Dongmei interrupted her: "Hmph! I knew you, an old woman, were dishonest. It turns out you just went to the kitchen to eat secretly!"

"You said you made sweet osmanthus yogurt for the young lady yourself, but I think you're just being lazy. Did Chef Zhang make this yogurt for you?"

When Aunt Xu heard this, her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes. She was about to kneel on the ground and said, "My lady, please understand. I didn't..."

"Okay!" Nan Xi slammed the table hard, scaring the other waiters to kneel down.

Only Dongmei was still standing there smugly.

Humph, just wait and see! The young lady has been instigating this lately and already dislikes Aunt Xu. Now, after hearing what she said, she'll definitely kick both Aunt Xu and Chef Zhang out of the Zhao residence.

She couldn't hide her smug look, but unfortunately Nan Xi was no longer the original owner, so how could she let her control her?
