Hu Nianzhen suddenly lost her temper, and immediately asked the servant girl to call the cook here. It is already midnight, and some people have already begun to fall asleep.

Hu Nianzhen was waiting in the kitchen, and her patience gradually disappeared while waiting.

When the maid came back, the cook followed her closely. Hu Nianzhen looked at the cook with a very bad expression, her face was gloomy, and she didn't say a word.

Hu Nianzhen looked at him like this with her hands folded, but she didn't express anything.

"Young lady."

The man yelled reluctantly, and Hu Nianzhen sneered, then slapped the chopping board with her hand, and asked, "How many years have you worked in this house?"

"20 years." The man raised his head, which is indeed a proud thing. "The young master grew up eating my food."

"Very good." Hu Nianzhen nodded, and asked him instantly: "Since you are an old man in this family, have I offended you in any way?"

"What did the young lady say? I should ask you where I offended you—even in the middle of the night, no one was allowed to sleep."

Seeing that the cook was still stubborn, Hu Nianzhen immediately lowered her face, and opened her mouth to reprimand. "I have asked the servant girl to tell you that I want to buy haggis for two days, but you always shirk it. Can you please explain to me now."

"Young Madam doesn't go shopping, how can I know that I always go to buy but it is always sold out."

The cook still wanted to speak harshly, but Hu Nianzhen couldn't bear the tone and wanted to take it out on him, but the cook spoke in a leisurely manner.

"I know that the young lady is very capable. If I don't prepare everything for you, there will definitely be troubles. I just put together a small amount of haggis, and I will let my mother-in-law bring it to you later. .”

When the cook talked like this, Hu Nianzhen became less angry and let him go.

When her mother-in-law brought the haggis over, Hu Nianzhen frowned looking at those things, most of them were leftovers, and very few of them could be used.

It was intentional, even the ingredients used in the kitchen to remove the fishy smell were uneven.

Mrs. Fei was ill in her room these days, she helped to take care of the affairs of the house, which was in the way of other people's eyes, and she wanted to call the cook over again to reprimand her.

But Fei Boyuan needed supper when he was studying later, Hu Nianzhen could only endure the anger in his heart and was busy in the kitchen.

While kneading the dough, Fei Qing led his servants past the kitchen, saying that he wanted some dough.

Without further ado, Hu Nianzhen scooped up some more flour, and after it was done, she cut a lot for Fei Qing.

She could not help frowning as she watched Hu Nianzhen turn around and remove the inferior parts of the haggis on the chopping board.

"Sister-in-law, why did you suddenly deal with these things? Didn't the cook at home take care of it?"

The Fei family would never buy such ingredients, but Hu Nianzhen shook her head and sighed.

"Maybe I'm not qualified enough to be a young lady, and I can only afford to make a bowl of noodles with your brother."

"Where is this saying? Let me see who dares to say that in front of me—it's going to piss me off. Anyone who thinks like this should be kicked out."

After Fei Qing said that, he asked his maid to invite the chef over. His mother was too old to turn around, and these servants in the family were ignorant of current affairs.

The cook was called twice in one night, and he was very upset when he was woken up, and he started yelling before entering the kitchen.

"Young Madam's arrogance is getting bigger and bigger. Why bother to bully one of our servants? You sleep and enjoy every day, but we servants must work hard."

He was yelling in the yard with his mouth open, but at this time Fei Qing pushed open the door and went out to look at the chef and snorted coldly.

The whole person was stuttering when speaking, and immediately became sober and servile. "Why did Second Miss come to the kitchen at night? If you want to eat something, just let the maid come and tell me."

"But I heard that the cook has been very tempered recently. Even my sister-in-law can't control you. Can my second lady use you?"

Fei Qing wholeheartedly wanted to get Hu Nianzhen back. Looking at this person's face, she knew that he was tricking others, but she just disliked such a person, and it was not easy to relax with a cold face.

"I see that my brother didn't beat your skin well when preparing for the township examination recently, and you are itchy. You don't even listen to the young lady's words and do your job well. Do you want to be sent out too?"

"Second Miss, what you said is serious. My loyalty to the Fei family is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. I have worked for the Fei family for 20 years, how could I be disloyal."

"So relying on seniority to rely on the old to sell the old? My brother is tired from studying and eats a bowl of noodles. Look at what you bought, and I will definitely go to the accounting room to check the accounts to see if you have swallowed money privately."

Fei Qing's crisp words made the cook's face turn red, and his whole voice trembled, wanting the second lady to raise her hand.

"These things today are all my fault. Second Miss must be merciful. I don't want to go anywhere except Fei's."

"What's the use of begging me? You should be begging my sister-in-law. She is so kind-hearted and doesn't criticize you very much. I'm different. I hate people's double-decker attacks the most."

What Fei Qing said, even if the cook was a fool, he understood it, and immediately apologized, asking Hu Nianzhen to help him and say something nice in front of Second Miss.

"It's all my fault. Whatever Young Madam wants in the future, I will prepare the best for you as soon as possible. I have lived here for so many years, and I really can't leave Fei's house."

Hu Nianzhen looked at his completely opposite attitude from just now, and knew that Fei Qing was helping her, so she told the cook to leave after a few words.

Fei Boyuan was still waiting for his supper, so Hu Nianzhen hurried to do it. Fei Qing saw that he had nothing to do, so he took his maid and prepared to leave.

"Today's matter is really thanks to you. Hurry up and I'll cook you a meal." Hu Nianzhen really couldn't spare, so she could only make an appointment with her next time.

Fei Qing waved his hands and said he was not in a hurry, "We are all a family, so why be polite, if my sister-in-law really wants to thank me, then you can avoid arguing with my mother - she is too old to understand some things, you just need to ignore her .”

Fei Qing blinked at Hu Nianzhen after speaking, and Hu Nianzhen nodded in agreement.

She didn't have much prejudice against her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law was easily provoked by others, and that's why the two of them bickered every day.

But she is Fei Boyuan's mother, my own mother-in-law, so I have no reason not to respect her, but sometimes I feel aggrieved.
