Princess, she is playing again

Chapter 45

"Madam's food here is really good," Xu Chengke was the last to be supported by Aunt Bai, but he was the first to smell the aroma of the vegetables.

Xu Chengke's face was cold, and what he was thinking was that Mrs. Lin asked him to feast his colleagues with a whole table of vegetarian dishes, but he hid in the Linglong Courtyard and ate and drank.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Xu Chengke couldn't care less about the pain in his chest, he raised his voice and shouted, "Mrs. Lin, come out!"

Lin Long, who was preparing to eat with chopsticks, was shaken by the yelling. Nurse Lin walked to the window and looked out, and then quickly returned to Lin Long, "Ma'am, it's Master Hou and Bai Aunt, and Housekeeper Xu."

Lin Long frowned, put down her chopsticks, got up and walked to the door to greet her.

In the courtyard, Xu Chengke was leaning on Aunt Bai's body. The two of them were standing very close to each other. Looking at it from Lin Long's perspective, it was really an eyesore no matter how you looked at it.

"Isn't the Hou waiting for guests in Fengyueyuan? Why do you sometimes come to my Linglongyuan?" Ever since she was smacked in Fengyueyuan that day, Lin Long has lost a little enthusiasm for Xu Chengke.

Seeing him coming at this moment, although I still have expectations in my heart, more of them are sneers.

Xu Chengke heard the sarcasm in her words, snorted heavily, and then walked towards the opened door with the help of Aunt Bai.

At the threshold, Lin Long pushed Lin Long away rudely, and walked into the room. Sure enough, she saw braised rabbit meat, stir-fried mussel meat, and snow clam and cordyceps soup on the table.

"Good job, Mrs. Lin! You let the big kitchen lose face, but you hide in the Linglong courtyard and quarrel." Seeing the dishes on the table, Xu Chengke only felt that his liver and lungs hurt, and he felt sorry for Lin. Long was even more disappointed.

"What are you talking about, Lord Hou? I didn't go anywhere in Linglong Courtyard, so how can I save your face?" Lin Long frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't know where it came from.

"Heh, you're still quibbling! Butler Xu, go to the small kitchen in Linglong Courtyard." Xu Chengke didn't talk to her, and directed Butler Xu to go to the small kitchen.

Lily, who was just about to come out, was pushed aside in a daze.

After a while, Steward Xu walked to Xu Chengke's side and said softly, "Master Hou, the ingredients in the small kitchen are estimated to last three days for the entire Hou Mansion."

"So what?" All the important positions in the big kitchen were arranged by Lin Long, and the small kitchen of Linglong Courtyard is not short of fresh ingredients on weekdays.

So even if the ingredients in the small kitchen can feed the whole house for three days, Lin Long doesn't think there is anything wrong.

"So what? Madam, do you know that Lord Marquis hosted a banquet in Fengyueyuan today for his colleagues?"

Aunt Bai questioned Lin Long out of righteous indignation. Lin Long felt displeased, but Xu Chengke put one arm around Aunt Bai's waist, as if to support her.

"So what if you know!" Lin Long looked at the two of them hugging each other coldly, with a bit of impatience between her brows.

"Ma'am, why are you doing this? What will you do to the honor of Lord Hou!" Aunt Bai was heartbroken, but Lin Long was at a loss.

"Bai Yulan, tell me clearly, when did I disregard Xu Chengke's face?"

"Naturally, Madam, you emptied the ingredients in the big kitchen for your own selfishness, let Hou Ye lose face in front of his colleagues, and made the entire Hou Mansion go hungry."

Aunt Bai's voice was filled with uncontrollable pride, she never thought that Lin Long would make such a stupid mistake, it was simply God helping her.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Long finally realized that the matter was beyond her control. She was eager to explain, but no one wanted to hear it.

The people brought by Butler Xu have already taken away the poultry and beasts in the small kitchen of Linglong Courtyard. Butler Xu gave Lin Long a meaningful look, "Madam, do you know that the ingredients purchased in the big kitchen are marked for easy counting?" .”

So these ingredients in the small kitchen are lost in the big kitchen.

"I……"

Lin Long finally panicked. She tried to grab Xu Chengke to explain, but was thrown away by Xu Chengke.

"That's enough! I can finally see clearly the true face of you, Mrs. Lin. From now on, send Lin Long to Zhuangzi. Without my order, you are not allowed to return to Beijing at will."

Xu Chengke, who had lost his face, just thought that if Lin Long continued to stay in the mansion, he would most likely be ridiculed by more people in the future, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Xu Chengke, you can't treat me like this. I obviously didn't do anything. I didn't ask people to move ingredients in the big kitchen, and I didn't deliberately embarrass you. Why don't you believe me? Magnolia must have asked for help , don't blame me, why blame me instead!"

Lin Long argued loudly, but Xu Chengke took Aunt Bai and walked out. At the same time, he did not forget to tell Butler Xu, and hurriedly sent her away.

All this happened very quickly, and when Steward Xu returned to Songhe Courtyard to report, Mrs. Xu Zhou was very anxious and scolded Lin Long severely. At the same time, she strongly supported her son's decision to send Lin Long to Zhuangzi.

At the same time, I also reminded Housekeeper Xu to prepare a few generous gifts and send them to the homes of the adults who came today, so as not to apologize.

As for Xu Zhaoning, she kowtowed a few melon seeds on the wall of Fengyue Courtyard, peeled a few handfuls of peanuts in Linglong Courtyard, and finally returned to Shao Courtyard, feeling very at ease.

"Miss, are you satisfied with today's results?" As soon as Xu Zhaoning took her seat, Mingyue quietly appeared behind her.

If he hadn't always been vigilant, Xu Zhaoning would have been scared to death by her behavior.

"Girl, you don't need to express your superior lightness skills in this way." Xu Zhaoning cast a resentful glance at Mingyue.

But Mingyue's mouth twitched, and then she replied flatly, "What I want to express is just my method of concealment."

Xu Zhaoning: "..."

So, she was despised again, and she was despised because she was too uneducated?
But Mingyue was not satisfied, and asked again like a curious baby, "Shouldn't you take revenge on the old lady? Lin Long seems a little innocent..."

Xu Zhaoning rolled his eyes, Lin Long is innocent, not to mention how miserable the original owner was by her before, but if Lin Long recovers in the future, he will spare no effort to make things difficult for others, tonight Definitely worth it.

As for the Xu Zhou family, Xu Zhaoning thinks that the future will be long.

Steward Xu's movements were still fast, and the next day Xu Zhaoning found out that Lin Long needed to go to Zhuangzi to be raised because of physical discomfort.

Early in the morning, Aunt Bai brought Shao Yao over.

"Did Sister Ning sleep well last night?"

Laughing before saying anything, Aunt Bai kept her posture extremely low, her voice fell, and she still didn't forget to take two steps forward, wanting to grab Xu Zhaoning's hands to show her closeness.

Xu Zhaoning evaded without a trace, then nodded casually, and asked Aunt Bai after she sat down, "I don't know how Aunt Bai slept last night? I heard that it wasn't too late for Fengyueyuan and Linglongyuan last night, Auntie I just took over the house, and I think it's extremely tiring."

Aunt Bai's expression was a little stagnant. She originally intended to test whether Xu Zhaoning knew about the theft of ingredients from the big kitchen.

She thought about it last night, and she always felt that what happened in the evening was traced by outsiders.Lin Long is not such an ignorant and impulsive person, the missing ingredients in the big kitchen are too strange.

She has no helpers in the mansion, and the only possibility is Xu Zhaoning who has teamed up with her to deceive Lin Long.

But Xu Zhaoning directly pushed the question back, not only clearing up his relationship, but also releasing goodwill invisibly.

"Sister Lao Ning is concerned, Auntie is not tired." Aunt Bai did not reject Xu Zhaoning's kindness, on the contrary she took the initiative to approach.

"Why don't Sister Ning and I go to the Songhe Courtyard to pay my respects today, it's better to have a companion than to blame the old lady alone?"
