Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 469: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 25

Cui Xiaoxiao saw that her nanny had solved the problem perfectly with just a little effort, and she felt very relieved! Cui Xiaoxiao couldn't help but secretly give her nanny a thumbs up!

In this case, I believe the old lady will not want to see her again in the near future.

To be honest, she felt a little sympathetic towards the old lady at this moment. She had not had a good life during this period. She either lost things or was humiliated by others.

It was as if she could not offend anyone in the Marquis' Mansion, and she was no longer the one who had the final say. How could the old lady, who had been showing off for so many years, tolerate this?

One has to say that she has been pampered over the years and has kept her body in very good condition, otherwise she would have fainted from anger after being attacked by so many people in turn.

After paying their respects, everyone silently retreated from the old lady's yard!

However, Nanny Zong Fang's words were soon spread out, and everyone in the Marquis' Mansion looked at Cui Xiaoxiao differently!

Didn't you hear what Nanny Guan said? According to the rules, even the old lady of the Marquisate had to bow to the second young lady. Doesn't that mean she is the one with the highest status in the entire Marquisate?

At this moment, everyone deeply realized that Cui Xiaoxiao was no longer the weak, unpopular and bullied daughter of the family! The servants who had oppressed Cui Xiaoxiao in the past were still a little uneasy, fearing that Cui Xiaoxiao would settle the score later.

Things are different now. When Cui Xiaoxiao walks back to the yard, the servants she meets actually bow to her respectfully!

As expected by Cui Xiaoxiao, the old lady reported being ill the next day and even exempted herself from the greetings! Even when Cui Ningning and Cui Xiaoxiao expressed their willingness to take care of the sick, the old lady refused because she couldn't stand the noise during her illness and needed to rest and recuperate!

When the Marquis's wife saw that the old lady had exempted everyone from greetings, she also exempted herself. Although those words of Guan Ma were spoken to the old lady, they were also spoken to her.

But she was absolutely unwilling to pay respect to Cui Xiaoxiao! Madam Hou once again regretted why she didn't destroy Cui Xiaoxiao, the merchant girl! It was simply that if you don't kill the snake, there will be endless troubles. Now that she has become a big deal, it's too late for anything!

Cui Xiaoxiao used her spiritual power to see that the old lady had been listless from yesterday to today, and she didn't speak a word, which showed that she had been hit hard by the nanny yesterday. However, she exuded a gloomy and dark aura...

I wonder if she will get really sick when she learns that the Marquis was robbed again and lost a large sum of public funds? How will they fill the huge hole of the Fifth Prince this time?

Cui Xiaoxiao thought a little unkindly, and she thought of the old lady's murderous intention towards her yesterday... She sneered, haha, a person who was half buried in the earth still wanted to kill her, it was just a daydream!

But she still had to wait a little longer. She had to let her watch with her own eyes the things she cared about the most being lost one by one and being powerless to change them! But this also required that she didn't make trouble or cause her any trouble. Otherwise, she wouldn't mind giving her a pill that could make her live the dead!

Anyway, as long as the person is not dead, they don't need to observe mourning! The original owner didn't want to take revenge on the Marquis' Mansion. However, if she was blocked from living a comfortable life, then don't blame her for being cruel!

Cui Xiaoxiao felt more comfortable when she didn't have to pay respects! In addition to learning from the nanny, she also taught Xiangchun how to cook. With her own small kitchen, she didn't have to cook, so she wouldn't wrong herself.

No matter whether it was the nanny or the maid, no one doubted why she knew so many delicious foods and how to cook them! Chun Yu, who knew the original owner best, had already left the mansion, and no one in the mansion knew him anymore.

It can be seen that being unfavored also has its advantages. In this way, Cui Xiaoxiao let herself go!

The snacks of this era tend to be sweet, and some are even too sweet. According to the maid, most people don’t eat sugar all year round! But Cui Xiaoxiao is still not used to it. Excessive sugar intake is not a good thing, so many things are made according to her taste.

If everyone thinks the cake is delicious, she will prepare the recipe and send it to the pastry shop owner, and then sell it when the shop opens.

The weather has also turned colder, with shorter days and longer nights in winter. Cui Xiaoxiao specially ordered a few pots and small stoves, preparing to eat hot pot in her own yard! Now you can still buy vegetables for hot pot, but it will be difficult to eat vegetables openly after it snows.

If not now, when?

She also quietly replaced those vegetables with delicious vegetables grown in her space!

That day, Cui Xiaoxiao had just put the pot on the table when it got dark. When she was about to start eating, she heard a familiar knock on the window. She rolled her eyes and asked Xiangqin to prepare a set of clean dishes!

She opened the window, and the Tenth Prince quickly jumped in. Seeing the sumptuous meal on the table, he instantly smiled. "Oh, it's better to come at the right time than to come in time. It seems that I'm in for a treat today?"

At this time, Xiangqin's bowl and chopsticks were also brought. She bowed to the Tenth Prince and went back to guard the door.

"Look at what Your Highness said. How could a dignified prince let you starve? Did Your Highness come here today because of the smell? The timing is just right! Please take a seat!" Cui Xiaoxiao sat down opposite him without any hesitation!

The Tenth Prince had eaten hotpot before, but it was always carefully served by servants, and the food was boiled and placed on a plate before being brought to him. But when he looked at Cui Xiaoxiao's table of raw meat and vegetables, and there were no servants around to serve him, he didn't know where to start.

"The hotpot tastes best when you cook it yourself! I have prepared two kinds of soup bases. One pot contains clear soup, and the other contains a stronger spicy soup. The base of the pot is bone soup. I don't know if Your Highness can get used to it." Cui Xiaoxiao said with a smile!

She saw the embarrassment of the Tenth Prince almost at a glance. After asking him about his dietary taboos and preferences, she personally prepared a dipping sauce for him, and then prepared a small bowl for herself.

Then put the thinly sliced mutton into the boiling hot broth. It was fished out in about 30 seconds, dipped in the sauce and started eating! Hmm, it’s a familiar taste! Cui Xiaoxiao enjoyed the delicious taste in her mouth very much!

While eating, he signaled the Tenth Prince to start!

Although the tenth prince didn't know how to do it at first, he learned it! He followed Cui Xiaoxiao's method and cooked the mutton and dipped it in water to eat. When the mutton was in his mouth, it was fragrant, fresh and tender. He opened his eyes wide as if he had opened the door to a new world.

This is completely different from the exquisite imperial cuisine, which emphasizes the freshness and original flavor of the ingredients! I don’t know if it’s a psychological reason, but I feel that cooking by myself is indeed a different experience!

"It tastes very good. How did you come up with this idea?" He also saw the small hot pot and stove on the table, and thought about ordering a few more sets of this when he returned!

"Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so I just spent all my time thinking about how to make food taste better! Your Highness, try this one with a stronger flavor and see if you can get used to it?"

The Tenth Prince actually tried it. The light flavor was delicious, and the strong flavor was rich and satisfying. He liked both flavors very much.

Good food should not be missed, and then the two of them didn't say much. I ate whatever you ate, you took one chopstick and I took another, and then drank fresh fruit juice to get rid of the greasiness. Even the Tenth Prince, who did not care much for food, enjoyed the meal very much.

After Xiangqin cleared away the mess of plates and cups, the two of them rinsed their mouths and each of them took a cup of apple, rose and hawthorn tea, and then they began their after-meal conversation!

"It seems your father, Lord Le'an, is in some trouble!" The Tenth Prince frowned after taking a sip of tea. He didn't like this kind of sour and sweet tea very much, but he had eaten too much just now, and eating this would help digestion.

"How could that be? Isn't he on his way back to Beijing? Two days ago, the old lady received news that the Marquis would be back soon!" Cui Xiaoxiao said in surprise. Of course she knew what had happened, but she was not stupid enough to say it.

"It may be postponed for a few days! The problem should be serious. My fifth brother even broke his favorite teacup!" The tenth prince said calmly!

"Then the old lady might be unhappy!" Cui Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. Only three days had passed. Did the Fifth Prince get the news so quickly?

Did those people want to confess to the Fifth House and be punished? Or did the group want to hide the fact that they had raised money, but who among them was the Fifth Prince and sent back the news?

"You might have to be careful too. After all, you are still the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis is your father. If no solution can be found, given the Marquis's incompetent and furious character, he might make trouble for everyone in the mansion, and your life might not be so easy!" The Tenth Prince looked at the girl in front of him with some concern.

The reason why he came to tell her this was to let her be mentally prepared!

"I'm not worried. Can't I still use His Highness's power to bully others? But the Marquis' Mansion will definitely have a hard time this year!" Cui Xiaoxiao didn't care. The people in the Marquis' Mansion couldn't hurt her! However, she still accepted the Tenth Prince's concern.

"It's better to be careful in everything! Try not to go through the people in the Marquis' Mansion when purchasing ingredients. This is not difficult to arrange. Fortunately, I also told the old lady at the beginning that all the expenses of your small kitchen will be under my jurisdiction. I'm still thinking about whether I should send a female doctor to you?" The tenth prince also found out that Madam Hua was poisoned to death by someone in the Marquis' Mansion!

He was a little worried. After all, Cui Xiaoxiao's food, clothing and other expenses were all in the Marquis' Mansion. If she wasn't careful, she would be caught. He also felt a little sorry that he couldn't marry her into the mansion earlier without his brothers. After all, no matter how far the Marquis' Mansion had, it couldn't reach into the royal family!

"Your Highness cares about me so much. I am really flattered." Cui Xiaoxiao supported her face with her hands and looked at the Tenth Prince with a smile!

He got the news, and he rushed to the mansion to tell her without even knowing the details. It was obvious that he really had her in his heart. Cui Xiaoxiao didn't care why the man in front of her liked her, but for now, he was still pretty good, wasn't he?

"At present, you are my only concubine, and I asked for you personally. If I don't care about you, who should I care about?" He felt a little aggrieved after saying this. The girl in front of him was a little heartless! If he didn't show up, she would probably have forgotten him!

Could it be that she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet? Yes, without an elder to teach her, how could she possibly understand some of the love affairs between men and women! But it doesn't matter, he will teach her slowly! Thinking of this, the Tenth Prince's ears turned red...!

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Don't worry, I'm still very lucky! As for the matter of the female doctor, I'll just forget about it. I'll pay close attention and try to live a long life." It's enough to slap the Marquis's face once, but you can't always slap them in the face, otherwise how will outsiders view her? Either the Tenth Prince doesn't value her very much, or she, Cui Xiaoxiao, is a real troublemaker!

"That's the best! Is the nanny still doing a good job? Do you want to change someone?" He had noticed the changes in Cui Xiaoxiao, but he was also worried that the nanny was too strict and she wouldn't be able to adapt.

"Madame Zonghua is very nice. She taught me a lot and we get along very well! Thank you, Your Highness, for finding such a useful person for me!" Speaking of this, Cui Xiaoxiao was truly grateful to the Tenth Prince. The madame was really nice.

"As long as you like it!"

Another five or six days passed, and the old lady was a little worried about the Marquis. According to the normal journey, he should have returned to the capital! But now there was no sign of him, so she had to send people to the city gate every day to inquire and see if she could get any useful information...

The Marquis arrived in Beijing seven days later than originally planned, and it was already the twelfth lunar month. After the palace received the news, the Marquis's wife and everyone including Cui Xiaoxiao were waiting at the gate of the Marquis's mansion!

The Marquis had to complete his mission before returning home. Cui Xiaoxiao and the others had been waiting for nearly an hour before they finally welcomed back the Marquis, who looked exhausted and had lost a lot of weight.

Cui Mingen was not in a good state at the moment. He did not smile when he saw his wife, concubines and children. By the time he finished washing and getting ready and went to the old lady's yard to gather, another hour had passed.

Cui Xiaoxiao listened to the mother and son, who seemed to have not seen each other for 800 years, with tears in their eyes. They hugged each other, one saying that his mother had become haggard and he had made her worried; the other said that his son had worked hard outside and had become thinner, and that he should take good care of himself when he returned home.

After a while, the children came to pay their respects to the Marquis again! The Marquis probably had something important to tell his mother, so he didn't even have the reunion dinner in the evening and sent all of them away!

Cui Xiaoxiao returned to her yard and used her mental power to lock onto the old lady and her son! As expected, she soon heard the news she wanted to know, and everything went pretty much as Cui Xiaoxiao had expected.

After they found out that they had lost their money, they immediately reported it to the police! However, they did not say how much money was lost, after all, that was gray income that could not be disclosed, but they said that they had lost all their belongings and valuables.
