Song Qingting's voice was full of dissatisfaction and arrogance, which was inconsistent with the simplicity of the manor.
"What kind of dishes are you making? How dare you serve us this rubbish? I am the second lady of the prime minister's mansion, your master, and you are fooling us like this?" Song Qingting's voice was sharp and piercing. She stood there, pointing at the dishes on the table with a look of disdain on her face.
The chef in the kitchen hurried to explain, but Song Qingting didn't listen at all. She only believed what she believed to be the fact.
Zhou Zhiying sat at the table, her eyes lingering over the delicious farm dishes, and she was obviously quite interested in them.
After all, she had lived in the countryside for ten years, and these dishes were familiar to her. They tasted ten times better than what her adoptive mother cooked, and the meat didn't have a fishy smell.
Each dish was presented in a rough manner, revealing a natural charm. There were also many dishes that she had never eaten before, which were obviously the specialties of this place.
In fact, she was the first one to pick up her chopsticks. When Song Qingting started to make a fuss, she had already eaten half a bowl of rice and drank two bowls of different soups.
She thought the dishes were really to her taste, and she even thought about lowering her head and asking Song Qingting to ask a chef from the farm to cook specifically for her in the princess's mansion.
She couldn't get used to the food at the princess's mansion at all. The dishes had been processed in various ways and were completely different from their original appearance. When she sat in front of the dishes, even if she listened to the maids announce the dishes, she couldn't recognize half of them. But she was too proud to try them one by one, fearing that the maids would laugh at her behind her back, and she could only take two bites of each dish.
Now that the servants had been dismissed, only Geng Qianqian and Song Qingting were watching her in the room. They had all eaten together, and Zhou Zhiying had become much more relaxed. Seeing the familiar dishes today, she ate a lot in a row. But Song Qingting suddenly threw the bowl to the ground and shouted, "This is such a horrible thing, even a pig wouldn't eat it."
Geng Qianqian's chopsticks were still on a vegetarian dish, and she quickly put them down after hearing this.
Zhou Zhiying choked on her food and only felt better after drinking a cup of tea. Her face flushed and she wanted to scold Song Qingting for being unreasonable, but Song Qingting had already started scolding her excitedly and called the maid of the manor to call the cook in the kitchen.
After being disturbed by Song Qingting, Zhou Zhiying didn't want to say much. She just pouted, thinking that Song Qingting must be scolding her in her heart as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Song Qingting didn't eat a single bite of the food, but she ate it with gusto.
Miss Geng looked embarrassed. She looked at the county lady and then at Song Qingting, obviously not knowing what to do.
When Song Qingting and the other dozen or so people from the kitchen arrived, she was about to give them ten canes, saying they weren't doing their best and were just using the servants' food to fool her. Geng Qianqian advised her, "Sister Qingting, forget it. These meals are actually quite good. This isn't the prime minister's residence. It's good enough for the farm chefs to cook like this. Why criticize them so harshly?"
Zhou Zhiying also nodded and said, "This county lady doesn't care. Song Qingting, please stop making a fuss. We still have to go to the Royal Stables after dinner. If you make a fuss again, Sister Geng and I will leave first and won't let you go."
Song Qingting glared at Zhou Zhiying fiercely and said dissatisfiedly, "You fool, I just heard that my eldest sister and Annan Hou had arrived when I was having dinner. The people in the kitchen must have sent the better dishes to them and gave us inferior ones. Only someone like you who has never seen the world would be fooled."
Zhou Zhiying was confused. Is this true?
A calm and majestic voice brought Zhou Zhiying back to her senses. She raised her head and saw that it was the eldest daughter of the Song family.
"Song Qingting, you're messing around again."
Qingli frowned. She walked up to Song Qingting and asked the kitchen servants to stand up. What were they kneeling for? The servants quickly got up and thanked her.
"Who told you to get up? You're disrespectful to me. When I get back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'll tell my father and have him sell you out!"
The servants glanced at each other, their faces full of confusion. What was Miss Song talking about? They were not from the Prime Minister's residence, and the indentures were not in the Prime Minister's hands.
She has been here many times since she was a child. Could it be that she doesn't even know who the owner of the manor is?

Thank you friend for the three-month membership. I will add two more chapters. Thank you very much!
However, I have two papers that I haven't submitted yet. I've been revising them over and over again. Every time the teachers give me feedback, I have to revise them. Major revisions require me to look up new materials. I'm also busy next week, so I won't be able to finish the papers until next weekend. I'll take my time with the updates. Counting the 6 chapters that my last friend received as a member, I still owe him 5 more chapters.
I'll make up for it slowly! Thank you all for your support!
