Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 664 - Chapter 664 Chapter 664 The Kitchen A Critical Place

Chapter 664: Chapter 664: The Kitchen, A Critical Place Chapter 664: Chapter 664: The Kitchen, A Critical Place “Should we make a fuss on our first day here, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” Madam Xie was full of concern. There are many rules in a big household, let alone the General’s Mansion, which is no ordinary place. She didn’t want Xuexue to offend anyone on her first day back at the mansion, as that would make life difficult for her in the days to come.

Xuexue had just returned to the General’s Mansion and her emotions fluctuated greatly. Everything from her past life seemed as if it had happened just yesterday, filling her with unresolved hatred. However, after a few Shichen of calm, she had gradually settled down.

“Precisely because we have no food to eat on our first day, we should establish our authority. Otherwise, how are we to stand our ground in the General’s Mansion?” Xuexue was very dissatisfied with Madam Xie’s compassionate woman’s viewpoint. She shouldn’t have come to the Capital to be embroiled in troubles. However, now that she was here, she would do everything in her power to ensure her own safety.

Ever since Mo Xiaoqiang learned of Xuexue’s true identity, he became even more careful around her.

He quietly tugged at Madam Xie’s clothing and said, “Wife, Xuexue is right, we can’t allow others to bully us on our first day at the General’s Mansion.”

Madam Xie slapped away his hand forcefully, “You’ve never lived in a big household, what do you know? The slightest carelessness could make enemies for Xuexue. If we can bear it, we should endure it for now.”

Xuexue showed neither agreement nor disagreement with Madam Xie’s words.

In her past life, she had lived according to Madam Xie’s teachings, enduring and yielding at every turn, thinking that would lead to a peaceful and prosperous life. Unfortunately, she ended up with such a tragic end, not only harming herself but also implicating her young daughter. She was only a few months old, so adorable, yet Situtu Qinger threw her into the brazier alive, burning her to a cinder.

Xuexue said no more and turned to walk out; she simply couldn’t believe she, the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the General’s Mansion, couldn’t even get a meal.

Watching her departing figure, Madam Xie grew anxious and called out from behind, “Xuexue, don’t go, we can endure being hungry for a meal or two.”

Mo Xiaoqiang: “Don’t bother calling her, just let her be. After all, no matter what, she is the mistress of the General’s Mansion.”

“I know, but she has never lived here since she was little. I’m worried she’ll offend people.”

“Xuexue has grown up, she knows how to conduct herself. Let’s not worry too much.”

“Sigh! Once the child is grown, the mother has no say.”

Xuexue had already gone out and Madam Xie couldn’t do anything about it, so all she could do was to let nature take its course.

Guided by memories of her previous life, Xuexue walked through winding paths, passed a vibrant garden, and arrived in the kitchen.

Saw within, the place was brightly lit, maids bustling in and out with food boxes, making for a lively scene.

Indeed, it was just the time of dusk, the mealtime, and the busiest moment in the kitchen.

Xuexue stepped in, and the maids glanced at her and continued with their tasks, ignoring her completely, treating her as if she were air.

The kitchen was large, with more than a dozen Old Maids and maids busying themselves; they were frying dishes and serving food, all bustling and lively.

On a rectangular table in one corner of the kitchen, there was an array of freshly cooked dishes, steaming and sending off an appetising fragrance.

Xuexue reached out to pick up a multi-tiered food box from beside her, walked over to the table, chose three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a bowl of rice, and was about to leave carrying the food box.

“Who are you? How dare you trespass in the kitchen, and even dare to steal food; do you no longer wish to live? Stand right there!”

Suddenly, a harsh shout rang out, bringing everyone in the kitchen to a halt, as they turned to look this way.

Xuexue slowly turned around, only to see a round and fatty middle-aged woman covered in pockmarks and shining with an oily face, glaring at her ferociously, as though she was ready to skin her and pull her bones apart.
