Qiao Kou snorted and glared at Qi.

She did not dare to disobey Auntie Ling, but she felt really unconvinced. She did not think that Auntie Ling needed to respect the Shao Family so much. They could do whatever they wanted to do with them.

Why bother saying such empty words?

Soon, Concubine Du and Ms. Fang came back. Qi went away to get some tea.

Since the guests asked for tea, he was going to serve it to them, for his Fifth Sister-in-law’s sake.

But he recalled how his Fifth Sister-in-law spoke highly of golden sprouts and lavender, which were rare, even for rich people.

He thought for a while and grabbed some really old tea and poured three cups for the guests.

In the hall, Ms. Fang kept the guests company, while in the kitchen, Yang San and Zhang Sier also tried to get something out of Yang Xiaoni regarding the

Shao Family.

Yang Xiaoni was honest but she was not stupid.

Her Fifth Sister-in-law kept telling her that they should keep a low-profile and make a fortune without showing off. She understood that they should conceal the wealth, or there would be trouble at the door.

Exposing the family wealth would bring them trouble from those who wanted to steal it.

So, when Yang Xiaoni heard them asking about what was going on in the family, she got alarmed. She kept saying that she had no idea what was going on.

Yang San and Zhang Sier felt annoyed and even sneered. “You are the daughter-in-law of the Shao Family, how can you know nothing?”

Yang Xiaoni showed a natural smile. “Mother-in-law is in charge and I have an Elder Sister-in-law. Also, my Fifth Sister-in-law is more capable than me, so I just do what they ask me to.” The two maids were speechless.

Honestly…

After this, they decided to become lazy.

They did not want to help Yang Xiaoni for real. They were only trying to get something out of Yang Xiaoni, but failed. So, they found an excuse and left the kitchen.

They were servants, but they were not going to help the countryside people.

Yang Xiaoni pursed her lips. She did not care.

Good that they were out of the way.

She did not intend to make a sumptuous lunch.

Ms. Fang did not need to stress because a foodie like Yang Xiaoni would not want those people to stay for lunch. So, she was not going to provide them with good food.

It was a vegetarian fare. Only Ms. Xu and two children had steamed eggs.

The three guests were not very happy seeing the dishes.

Qiao Kou said involuntarily, “You live in such a big house and have everything, but you only have these dishes for lunch?”

Yang San cut in. “l can see many chicken, and fish in the yard!”

Ms. Fang glanced at Yang San.

She had been careless not to keep eyes out for these two people who took a walk in the yard.

Ms. Fang did not feel embarrassed and explained. “Chicken should be kept for laying eggs. My elder daughter-in-law is pregnant and she needs to eat eggs everyday. When she is in her first month of confinement, we would kill a few chickens for her nutrition. No one kills chicken every day, and fish are being kept to exchange them for spices.”

Qiao Kou sneered. “We are your guests.. Is this how you treat your guests?”
