In the dining room on the first floor of Xie Yuhuan’s villa.
Feng Qing walked to the dining table. Xie Jiuhan pulled out a chair like a gentleman and sat Feng Qing down. Xie Shihao looked around and finally sat beside Feng Qing.
In other words, only Xie Yuhuan and Long Yuning were opposite them.
Seeing that everyone was here, the servants quickly served the food. Long Yuning picked up the spoon and gently scooped a bowl of golden soup for Xie Yuhuan. She was not being pretentious, she usually waited on Xie Yuhuan like this.
They did not speak during the meal. Xie Yuhuan had always maintained the habit of the older generation. She wore a smile throughout the meal and did not say a word.
After Xie Yuhuan finished her meal, Long Yuning picked up two mouthfuls of green vegetables and ate them. However, she only took two bites. Feng Qing wished she could bury her face in the ground. No wonder Long Yuning was very thin. She didn’t even eat much, so how could she be fat? Looking at herself, she was like a roasted duck that had been blown up. Her chest, in particular, had welcomed her second puberty recently, it seemed to have grown a lot.
The meal ended silently. The servants removed the plates and served many desserts. Just as Long Yuning picked up the public chopsticks and was about to serve it, she was stopped by Xie Yuhuan. “Yuning, take a rest. Since Qingqing is here, let her serve me.”
Long Yuning nodded. A servant in charge of the food and beverages came over and handed the public chopsticks to Feng Qing. Before Feng Qing could reach out to take them, Xie Jiuhan’s cold voice sounded. “You’re fired!”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Xie Jiuhan in confusion. The servant in charge of the food and beverages said with a pale face, “Ninth, Ninth Master, why did you fire me? I… I didn’t do anything!”
Xie Jiuhan said coldly, “You were fired because you didn’t do anything. The Xie family did not hire you on a gold-collar salary just to let you watch a show.”
The servant’s legs went weak and he fell to her knees with a thud. He kept kowtowing and begging, “Ninth Master, please give me a chance. I’ll definitely perform well next time. Moreover, I do a lot of work in the kitchen every day. I’ve never been lazy!”
He wasn’t afraid of Xie Jiuhan, but he was afraid of losing this job. The reason why the servants of the Xie Manor were so subservient and obedient was entirely because of the high salary offered by the Xie family. In half a year, they, commoners without education or background, could buy a house in their hometown in full. There was no other employer like this in the entire Capital.
“Since you know that you’re in charge of the food and beverages, why didn’t you serve Little Aunt’s meal? Giving the public chopsticks to Mrs. Xie is equivalent to giving your job to the Madam of the Xie family. This is a classic case of offending your superiors. Stop talking and get lost from the Xie Manor!” Xie Jiuhan said mercilessly.
Xie Yuhuan raised her eyebrows. “Jiuhan, what do you mean by that? Is there a problem with letting Qingqing serve me something to eat? I’m your elder after all. If you let her serve me something to eat, it will not only show that she is a filial niece-in-law, but it will also make people feel that our family is harmonious. I think it’s quite good!”
Xie Jiuhan put down his chopsticks and said calmly, “Little Aunt, there are many ways to be filial to you. Feeding you doesn’t necessarily mean filial piety. You can completely let the servants do such things. Moreover, that’s their job.”
After staring at Xie Jiuhan for a moment, Xie Yuhuan sighed. Xie Jiuhan was the master of the Xie family, after all. In front of all the servants, even though she was an elder, she had to respect Xie Jiuhan. Moreover, this was a small matter, it was not enough to make their relationship awkward. She was old and had no children. Although Long Yuning treated her well, she had to marry someone eventually. When the time came, she could only count on Xie Jiuhan. Therefore, although she was dissatisfied with Feng Qing, she did not show too much forcefulness.
“Forget it, there’s no need for her to serve me. However, Qingqing is already nineteen years old. Since she’s the madam of the Xie family, she must have the ability to take charge alone. She can’t always be under your protection.” Xie Yuhuan said.
Xie Jiuhan picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of crystal dumplings to feed Feng Qing personally.. “She’s the madam of the Xie family, but she’s also my wife. It’s definitely right to pamper my wife!”
