Xia Ruqing's lips curved into a confident smile.
"Whatever!"
"Zi Yue, let's go!"
With that, she issued another command.
"Without my order, no one is allowed to bring food into the mansion!"
"Yes!"
Zi Yue bowed her head with a smile.
Back at her residence, Xia Ruqing instructed, "Send the roast chicken, roast duck, pancakes, and everything else to Maternal Aunt Wen!"
She had barely finished giving the order when Maternal Aunt Wen walked in from outside with Xia Caiying.
The moment Maternal Aunt Wen stepped inside, she knelt.
Xia Ruqing was startled.
"Maternal Aunt, what are you doing? Please, get up quickly!"
Maternal Aunt Wen shook her head with a smile.
"Eldest Miss, you are the legitimate daughter, and I am merely a concubine. By right, you are the master!"
Xia Ruqing shook her head.
"What are you saying? My mother passed away young. If not for your help, both openly and secretly, Jingfeng and I wouldn't be where we are today."
