Substituting the Plum for the Peach
Xia An 'an returned to her room and lied on her bed, silently comforting herself. She didn't plan to have any interaction with Si Lijue. As long as he was well, it was enough. Staying here, she could cook for him and even get a raise. She should be the one benefiting.
After comforting herself, Xia An 'an's depressed mood eased a little.
The next day.
Xia An 'an saw that the maid who mocked her before had changed into a maid uniform. In this villa, every maid had a different rank. They were divided into three levels, low, middle, and high. Xia An' an belonged to the low level.
That maid had the same rank as her before, but now she was wearing a high level maid uniform. It was obvious that she had been promoted.
The maid was called Liu Xiaoxuan. It was said that she was the housekeeper's niece.
Xia An 'an wasn't stupid. She immediately reacted. It seemed that the housekeeper had given the credit for cooking to his niece.
But since they had already agreed last night, she didn't feel that it was unfair. She turned around and planned to do her own things.
"Xia An 'an."
Liu Xiaoxuan called out to her.
"What's the matter?"
Xia An 'an turned around and asked.
Liu Xiaoxuan arrogantly walked in front of her and ordered, "Come out with me."
Xia An 'an had no choice. Liu Xiaoxuan's rank was now much higher than hers. She couldn't refuse and followed Liu Xiaoxuan to the yard.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Xia An 'an asked again.
"I heard from my uncle that you were the one who cooked the porridge for Sir?"
Liu Xiaoxuan sized her up. There was an inexplicable meaning in her eyes that made Xia An 'an feel a little uncomfortable. She said, "It was me. Is there a problem?"
Liu Xiaoxuan looked at her with disdain and said, "There's no problem. I think my uncle has already told you what you want to say. Everyone knows why you came to the villa, but you better know your place. Don't run in front of Mister and make a fool of yourself."
Xia An 'an had finally convinced herself yesterday. Now that she heard Liu Xiaoxuan's words, she was angry and amused. "What's there to embarrass me about? Compared to making up the numbers, at least I have real skills! "
"You!"
Liu Xiaoxuan was angry, but she thought of what her uncle had told her. She suppressed her anger and said, "Well, I didn't come here today to quarrel with you!"
"Heh."
Xia An 'an sneered. He didn't think so.
Liu Xiaoxuan saw Xia An 'an's disdain and continued to endure her anger. She said, "I don't want to show off to you. After all, if this kind of impersonation is known by the teacher, no one will benefit. My uncle didn't say your name, isn't it for your own good? Do you know what you look like? Do you think a normal person would let you be a maid? "
Xia An 'an was getting impatient. "If you have something to say, say it! Just say what you want to say! "
"You taught me how to cook."
Liu Xiaoxuan went straight to the point.
Xia An 'an looked at Liu Xiaoxuan suspiciously. "Teach you how to cook?"
"That's right!" Liu Xiaoxuan said hypocritically, "You can't cook alone. Isn't it better to have someone to help you?"
Although she said that, Liu Xiaoxuan had another plan.
Just like what her uncle said, it was not safe to rely on others. If Xia An 'an quit one day, they could only watch helplessly. It was better to learn her skills and completely replace her as the master. When the time came, they could drive Xia An' an away and they would have no worries.
Xia Anan was silent for a moment.
She knew very well what Liu Xiaoxuan was thinking, but she didn't plan to stay here for long. It was good to teach Liu Xiaoxuan. As long as she could let Li Sijue eat on time, her goal would be achieved.
"What? You don't want to? "
Liu Xiaoxuan thought Xia An 'an had been silent for a long time and thought that she was unwilling.
"Okay."
Xia An 'an said indifferently.
"Really?"
Liu Xiaoxuan's eyes lit up. She thought that this woman was really stupid. When she learned how to cook, she would ask her uncle to drive her out!
Xia An 'an saw through Liu Xiaoxuan's thoughts at a glance, but she didn't care. Learning how to cook or driving her out was fine as long as Si Lijue could eat.
However, some people were not born to cook.
Xia An 'an was a little frustrated by Liu Xiaoxuan's cooking skills.
Liu Xiaoxuan either mixed up the sugar and salt, or fried the vegetables. After a week, she could barely make porridge.
"How is it?"
Liu Xiaoxuan asked expectantly.
Xia An 'an tasted it. "It's okay."
At least it didn't smell burnt …
"I'll bring it to Sir now."
Liu Xiaoxuan couldn't wait.
These days, she didn't know if it was because of the food, but Si Lijue obviously spent more time at home. His attitude towards Liu Xiaoxuan was also very good. Although he was still cold, his tone was obviously warmer.
This made Liu Xiaoxuan feel like she was floating.
"Sir, I made some porridge for you."
Liu Xiaoxuan handed it to Si Lijue as if she was presenting a treasure.
Si Lijue didn't like to be disturbed when he was working, but when he saw that it was Liu Xiaoxuan, he frowned but didn't say anything. He looked at the porridge that Liu Xiaoxuan handed to him and said, "If I don't ask you to do this in the future, you don't have to do this."
Liu Xiaoxuan smiled sweetly. "Sir works overtime at night, how can you not eat something? It won't be good if you hurt your stomach. "
Si Lijue didn't say anything else. He picked up the spoon and tasted it.
He frowned slightly at the first bite.
Liu Xiaoxuan didn't realize that this was her first time cooking and was a little nervous. "Sir, does it suit your taste?"
Si Lijue put down the spoon and looked at her meaningfully. "You made this?"
"Yes!"
Liu Xiaoxuan nodded.
"Are you not feeling well today? If you're not feeling well, you don't have to force yourself to cook. "
"No."
Liu Xiaoxuan thought that Si Lijue was concerned about her and was overjoyed. She was about to say something when Si Lijue interrupted her.
"There's nothing else for you to do here. You can leave first."
Si Lijue said lightly.
"This …"
Liu Xiaoxuan's smile froze on her face. This wasn't what she had expected.
Si Lijue saw that she wasn't moving and looked at her again. "Is there anything else?"
Liu Xiaoxuan tried to squeeze out a smile. "No, nothing."
She left resentfully. Si Lijue glanced at her coldly. After the door was closed, he got up and poured the entire bowl of porridge into the toilet.
It was peaceful for a few days.
Liu Xiaoxuan learned a few more dishes according to the gourd, and became more and more impatient with Xia An 'an's words, "Why do you talk so much? I like to add salt first. What's wrong with that? "
Xia An 'an said patiently, "Don't you want to learn how to cook? Do you want to give up halfway? "
"So what if it's not exactly the same as yours? As long as Sir likes it, it's fine. "
