The crazy daily life of the mistress

People on both sides of the cliff just looked at each other from a distance.

And Lu Yi was extremely busy in the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Du fell ill after being humiliated by Zhan Shuo that night. Lu Yi didn't know whether she was really ill or not.

Anyway, she is now the eldest female member of the family.

The servants could not see the Duke's wife, and remembering how much the Duke valued the Crown Prince's wife, they reported the matter to her.

Mrs. Du simply gave half of the housekeeper power to Lu Yi.

So Lu Yi started to get busy.

She was really busy because she didn't know how to do anything. Suddenly someone came to ask her what to prepare for breakfast tomorrow morning.

What's so hard about this?

Isn’t that what we eat every day?

Just keep it as usual, why are you asking her?

But now the servant who came to report was still waiting, and he didn't want Lu Yi to say anything before he would leave.

Lu Yi said, "It's the same as yesterday."

The servant bowed and said, "Madam, this matter involves the arrangements of the purchasing chef and the taste preferences of the masters in the courtyard. We dare not make the same breakfast every day."

Lu Yi asked again: "Did Madam personally arrange breakfast for the next day every day in the past?"

The servant replied, "Madam, it's not just breakfast, but also lunch, dinner, and afternoon snacks."

Lu Yi said to Da Qing: "In this case, being a mistress is too tiring. My mother is not that tired."

Da Qing said, "Madam, the wife of the Duke would definitely not do everything herself, there must be servants helping to arrange it."

Lu Yi nodded: "But now you are the only one by my side, and you have so many things to do, so let me do these things."

Lu Yi asked the people waiting below: "Do you guys just do whatever I tell you to do?"

The servant nodded and replied, "Yes, Madam Crown Prince."

Lu Yi said, "That's easy. Remember, tomorrow's breakfast in all the courtyards will be the same, that is, white porridge and steamed buns. I tell you, I know the price of steamed buns outside very well. If you dare to embezzle and jackpot the price, I will not forgive you!"

The servant was surprised: "Madam, is there only porridge and steamed buns?"

If something like this were sent to the master's yard, would they still be alive?

Lu Yi said, "Didn't you just say that you should do whatever I arrange? Do you have any objection to my arrangement now?"

The servant was originally arranged by Mrs. Du to embarrass Lu Yi, but Lu Yi was so cooperative that she just fell into this trap.

They all knew very well that if such a breakfast was served on the table, Lu Yi would definitely be punished and scorned by the Duke, the Duke's wife and other masters, but they, the servants who followed their instructions, would not get any good results either!

The servants didn't know whether Lu Yi jumped into the pit or Lu Yi dug a pit for them.

But looking at Lu Yi's expression, she seemed very serious and she really wanted to do this.

So after saying goodbye to Lu Yi, the servant turned around and reported to Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du curled her lips and said, "She is really stupid. She thinks the Duke's Mansion is as shabby as her fifth-rank family. Since she wants to commit suicide, let her do it. Just listen to her arrangements and see if there will be chaos in the Duke's Mansion tomorrow!"

Early the next morning.

White porridge and steamed buns were delivered to every household and every courtyard.

Zhan Shuo took a look at the thick white porridge and big white steamed buns and said to Liu Quan, "Liu Quan, look, do they look like the white porridge and steamed buns that Da Gen brought to us when we were hungry for three days on the battlefield?"

Liu Quan smiled and said, "Master, it's true."

Zhan Shuo was reminded of his past by this simple breakfast and said, “Come, let’s sit down and eat together, just like we did back then!”

Liu Quan certainly didn't dare to act rashly, and said, "Master, we eat this too. I'll go get my breakfast and eat with you."

After breakfast, Zhan Shuo went to court and had no time to think about today's abnormality.

Zhan Shuo, the head of the family, has no objection to breakfast, so how dare his concubine and sons and daughters have any objections?

Not to mention, Zhan Shuo seemed very happy while eating.

In such a large family, the preferences of the head of the family are the weather vane for everyone else, and each courtyard will send someone to inquire about Zhan Shuo's mood this morning.

The replies I got were: The master was in a good mood. He ate three steamed buns and drank two bowls of white porridge.

Then the people below didn't dare to say anything.

They all agreed that the reason why Lu Yi dared to send such a simple breakfast to their yard was because she had obtained the approval of the Duke.

In that case, how dare they make trouble?

So the entire Duke's Mansion was quiet.

The chaos that Du had imagined did not occur.

Mrs. Du couldn't eat the white porridge and steamed buns to begin with, and when she heard that the servants were also eating the same, she couldn't stand it even more. How could she, the wife of a duke, eat the same thing as the servants?

Lu Yi, this bitch!

How dare you treat her like this!

Mrs. Du flipped over the dining table and said, "Call Lu Yi over here! Which daughter-in-law doesn't serve her mother-in-law? Which daughter-in-law doesn't pay respects to her mother-in-law?"

Meijuan said, "Madam, calm down. Madam, in my opinion, this is inappropriate. The Duke praised today's breakfast highly. If you call the Crown Prince's wife over to set the rules, I'm afraid that the Duke will think too much."

If it were in the past, why would Mrs. Du be afraid of Zhan Shuo thinking too much?

But now, with the incident with Madam Du and the poisoning, Mrs. Du could only restrain herself a little.

So she nodded and said, "Meijuan, you are right. I have many ways to deal with Lu Yi. There is no need to rush at this moment."

Meijuan called the maid, asked her to clean up the dining table and the porridge and steamed buns scattered on the floor, and went to the kitchen to make some of Du's favorite food.

As Mrs. Du ate the breakfast that Meijuan had brought back secretly, she became more and more angry.

When had she, Mrs. Du, ever been so humiliated?

Do you have to be sneaky when having breakfast in your own home?

Lu Yi, this bitch, she must find a way to get rid of her quickly!

"Madam, the prince comes to greet you."

The little maid outside said.

When she heard that her son was coming, Mrs. Du's face was full of smiles.

Zhan Shijun came to Du's courtyard because he couldn't eat the plain porridge and steamed buns.

Mrs. Du always paid attention to what was happening in Youyaxuan, and of course she knew that her son had not entered Xiaoyou's room in the past few days.

He goes out early and comes back late, I'm afraid he is avoiding Xiaoyou.

This is what makes Mrs. Du happiest.

As long as her son can abandon Xiaoyou, she will pay any price.

Zhan Shijun saw that what Mrs. Du ate was indeed different from what he ate, and said, "Mother, why are you like this? You feed your son white porridge and steamed buns, but you eat this yourself."

Mrs. Du ordered Meijuan: "Hurry up and serve the prince a bowl of meat porridge."

Then he said to Zhan Shijun, "Keep your voice down. Mother's status in the mansion is not as good as your good wife. Mother has not been in good health these days, so she gave the housekeeper power to Lu Yi. Meijuan went to the kitchen to cook this breakfast for me personally."
