Chapter 536: The Servant Who Pretends to Obey but Disobeys
Shen Xia walked into the room without hesitation, and her eyes fell directly on Su Yao.
At this time, Su Yao was also looking at Shen Xia, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
When the little maid standing by saw Shen Xia come in, her originally tough tone instantly became weak.
Her eyes were slightly red, tears welling up in them, as if she had suffered great injustice. She looked at Shen Xia pitifully and said, "Princess, why are you here?"
Shen Xia did not answer the maid's question immediately, but asked: "Have you been wronged?"
Hearing this, the little maid nodded quickly, and then complained aggrievedly: "Miss Su dislikes the breakfast prepared by our house."
Looking in the direction of the little maid's finger, Shen Xia noticed the food on the table - a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.
This kind of breakfast configuration is probably only enjoyed by the lowest-ranking servants in the mansion.
But the porridge was so thin that it could only reflect a person's reflection, so the servants shouldn't be held to this standard.
Shen Xia frowned, turned to look at the little maid and asked, "Well, it's indeed a bit bad. Is there no other ingredients in the kitchen?"
Faced with the princess's question, the little maid was a little at a loss, secretly guessing what the princess meant.
After hesitating for a moment, she replied cautiously: "My lord, Miss Su got up too late today, so these are the only things left in the kitchen."
After saying that, the little maid raised her head timidly and secretly observed the changes in Shen Xia's expression.
Shen Xia stared at the little maid's eyes closely, and after a moment of silence, she asked again: "Is it really just because of this reason?"
Her voice was not loud, but it contained an unquestionable majesty that made the little maid shiver.
Then he looked at Jixiang and said, "Go to the kitchen and take a look."
Jixiang nodded: "Yes."
Shen Xia would not wrongly accuse a servant. After all, was there really no one left, or was the servant deceiving his master?
If it's really gone, it's the kitchen's problem.
If there is, and the servant didn't take it, then don't blame her for being rude.
Although she is kind, you can't fool her.
Work in her hands.
If you do your job well, you will have everything, but once you violate the bottom line and principles.
Sorry, turn right when you go out!
Shen Xia looked at Ruyi: "Go tell mother that I want a housekeeper."
Ruyi nodded: "Yes, ma'am."
The little maid stood by trembling with fear.
Shen Xia ignored her completely.
Instead, he looked at Su Yao: "I'm sorry for wronging you."
"I'm not wronged. How can I let myself suffer a loss?" Su Yao replied with a smile.
Then he sat down and started eating the porridge.
"Don't eat it. I'll ask someone to bring some more later."
"It's okay, it's the same, just less."
After saying that, he took a bite and said, "Well, this pure natural taste is still good, but it's not as delicious as the one you made."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
The little maid listened to the princess' words?
My defenses were instantly broken!
My body instantly turned cold.
Although I still don’t understand who this young lady who is staying here is?
But it must be different to have the princess cook for her herself.
The body sways slightly!
Finished!
Originally, she was this young lady's personal maid.
At least it's better than being a cleaning maid.
Now there is no idea what punishment she will face next.
She has only been in the mansion for a few days.
I heard from the people before that the masters in the mansion are very nice and never beat or scold their servants.
The wages are also high.
I heard from the elderly that there are rewards during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, and four days of vacation a month.
The rewards for celebrating the New Year and other festivals in other palaces are very little, let alone holidays, at most one day off.
The master is still in a better situation.
At that time, servants all had indentures. Forget about the benefits. As long as they had the indenture, the government would not care even if they were beaten to death.
Servants with indentures became the master's private property and could be dealt with at will.
The little maidservant had already thought about all the possible punishments she might face at this time.
I thought about what I had heard from the people before me, that the host’s family was very nice.
Su Yao looked at Shen Xia and said, "The benefits are so good, and you can even order food!"
"That depends on who the other party is. If it's you, I'm sure you can do it!"
"Okay then! I'll order boiled beef slices, young ginger rabbit, shredded ginger frog, and diving fish fillet."
Shen Xia listened to the names of the dishes Su Yao announced.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. Fortunately there was space at this time, otherwise the frog would be gone.
"Okay! But I'm not sure we can eat it today. If we don't have enough ingredients today, we can make it tomorrow."
"Good good."
Su Yao nodded repeatedly.
I just mentioned the name of the dish and then looked at the steamed bun in my hand and lost my appetite.
Just in time to see Jixiang coming back.
He was also holding some exquisite snacks in his hands.
There is also shredded chicken porridge and natural grain chicken, the aroma makes you hungry just by smelling it.
Jixiang respectfully placed the plate on the table.
Then he placed the food in front of Su Yao one by one.
Everyone close to the family knows about it.
Although Miss Su has no status, the lady respects her very much.
You can all accompany Miss Su, but not the gentlemen.
The relationship is so good that even the Fourth Master is jealous of them.
How could a servant like her dislike him?
The little maid looked at Jixiang bringing so much food.
I quickly thought about what to say.
Shen Xia looked at her: "Anything else to say?"
Xiao Yahuang knelt down quickly and said, "Princess, this has nothing to do with me. I went to the kitchen to get breakfast, and the people in the kitchen only gave me these."
Shen Xia looked at Jixiang: "What do they say over there?"
Jixiang said: "Madam, the cook who met Xiaohua this morning was Madam Fang, and she came with me."
"Call in."
Xiaohua heard Jixiang say that the people from the kitchen had also arrived.
I knew it was over, there was no point in explaining it.
In fact, Fang's mother had already heard this while waiting at the door.
I did something wrong and I wanted to push it to the kitchen.
Although they servants all gossip.
Curious about who this Miss Su is?
I heard he was just a friend of the lady.
But it's just gossip, and I don't have the courage to step on it.
After all, not everyone is as stupid as her, who dares to make trouble before even knowing the territory well.
Jixiang walked to the door and looked at Fang's mother: "Mother Fang, come in for a moment."
When Fang's mother came in, she glanced at Xiaohua who was kneeling on the ground.
She thought to herself, this damn girl dared to throw dirty water on her, let's see if she won't tear her apart when she gets the chance in the future.
Shen Xia looked at Fang's mother: "There are steamed buns and a bowl of porridge on the table. Is this Ayao's breakfast?"
When Mother Fang heard the princess address Miss Su, she knew that Miss Su held a high position in the princess' heart.
Only that idiot would do such a thing.
Mother Fang took a look and quickly replied respectfully: "Madam, the master of the mansion, Nanny Yu, has already told me that when Xiaohua came this morning, I didn't give her these at all?"
