Chapter 358
Although the guard was dissatisfied with Ling Yu's embarrassment for the servants, seeing Zhao Xuan staring at him, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he still took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
"Pork stewed with vermicelli, cucumber stewed with pork ribs, hot pot tofu, and cabbage soup!"
Ling Yu pointed to Aunt Gao's table: "Go and see what they are eating?"
The guard walked forward and looked at the dishes on the table of Grandma Gao's family, and his expression changed slightly.
The guard stepped back and looked at Ling Yu. He didn't dare to speak casually without Ling Yu asking.
"You guys, all take turns to come forward and take a look!"
Several guards and Zhao Xuan stepped forward curiously, and after looking around, they all looked unhappy, but no one said anything.
"Everyone in the kitchen said that I changed the ledger! It could have been me who changed the ledger!"
"But I'm not that capable, so Lingxuan and I brought so many dishes here and changed all the dishes on their table, right?"
Several guards were speechless. What a huge formation! how can that be possible!
Ling Yu sneered: "Aunt Gao just told me that your guards couldn't finish these dishes. She was reluctant to throw them away, so she took them for herself!"
"I don't know who among your guards is so extravagant that he can even eat a chicken and fall down whole?"
Aunt Gao's expression suddenly changed. Why did she neglect this matter?
If she had known she would be exposed here, she should have hidden the chicken just now.
"The princess is wronged! The old slave bought this food for the child with his own money! The child is growing... The old slave just lied casually because he was afraid that the princess would blame him!"
Shen Juan shouted as soon as she saw the opportunity.
"Cousin, please stop making trouble! I bought it with my own money, isn't that allowed?"
The maid she brought also supported her: "That's right, just based on this, you can say that people are corrupt. Princess Yi, your reason is too far-fetched!"
When several guards heard what Shen Juan and the others said, they nodded in agreement.
Yes, who says you can’t buy your own food?
The servants in the house just order the food. Isn’t it okay to add more food for themselves if they are not full?
Ling Yu saw the changes in the expressions of the guards. She ignored Shen Juan's provocation and spoke directly to the servants.
"Whoever was sitting at the other table just now, please come forward!"
The cooks looked at me and I looked at you, then hesitantly walked out.
Ling Yu said coldly: "Although I am temporarily acting as housekeeper for a few days, Brother Zhao is the captain of the bodyguard under the prince. He can speak in front of the prince!"
"I will give you a chance to tell the truth, and I will not argue with you about today's events!"
"Otherwise, Guard Zhao, can you give me some face?"
"The people in the kitchen today don't tell the truth. Except for Grandma Gao's family, these people just asked me to buy them all!"
"Guard Zhao, don't worry. If there is no one working in the kitchen these days, I can promise you that Jixianglou will send you three meals every day until you find a suitable servant again!"
Zhao Xuan laughed when he heard this: "The princess invites us to eat at Jixianglou's food! That's great!"
"A meal at Jixianglou costs hundreds of taels of silver. We are tired of the food cooked in the kitchen, so we need a change of taste!"
"The bonds of sale of these servants are in the hands of the prince, but I think the prince will give me this face!"
When the cooks heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they looked at each other at a loss.
If they are sold to Princess Yi, will they have a good life?
Aunt Gao was also stunned. She never thought in her wildest dreams that Ling Yu would do this.
She also thought that if everyone in the kitchen went on strike, Ling Yu would not be able to take care of the house. Little did she know that Ling Yu didn't care if anyone was working in the kitchen!
With just one mouthful, I asked Jixianglou to deliver three meals a day, which solved the problem of eating at home.
When the guards heard this, they remained silent. They had been admiring the food at Jixianglou for a long time, but they were short of money and couldn't afford it!
Isn't that a good thing if you can eat for free?
They even want everyone in the kitchen to quit! In this way, you can eat the food from Jixianglou tomorrow!
"Why, don't you want to say it yet?"
When Lingxuan saw that the cooks were still hesitant, she sneered.
"Master, these people are not honest. In my opinion, they should be sent directly to the government!"
"Bowei Chen and you are on good terms with each other. If you give them a beating, they will definitely do anything!"
