Chapter 76: Chapter 76 HumiliationLooking at the plate of red-braised pig’s head, Su Jin had never felt so embarrassed in her life. "You are what you eat." Why say the Eldest Young Master is a fool and then prepare pig’s head for his Eldest Young Madam? Was she being used as a tool by someone? Xingxing, fearing the kitchen would stop making pig’s head, confessed in a hurry. For the sake of face, she’d rather not eat pig’s head for a lifetime, especially when she’s not that keen on meat. Su Jin didn’t say anything. Xie Jingchen not only placed the pig’s head in front of her but also picked a few pieces for her. Su Jin didn’t even know how to lift her chopsticks. She asked, "How did the main kitchen know that the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion likes pig’s head? Is your Duke Mansion inquiring about my parents’ preferences?" Xie Jingchen put a piece of meat in his mouth and said, "I’m not sure how they found out, but I can assure you the Duke Mansion doesn’t cater to preferences." Su Jin paused and looked at Xie Jingchen. "Not catering to preferences? Then why make pig’s head for me?" Su Jin asked. "..." "Could it be that when my parents visit, the dishes they like are deliberately avoided?" she speculated. "..." "Don’t worry, the Marquis and Madam aren’t picky eaters," Xingxing said. "..." Xie Jingchen thought the pig’s head tasted good, and he said, "If you want to know, let the maid go ask the kitchen." "I’ll go ask," Xingxing said. Did she really need to ask, just to change the subject? But Xingxing had already gone out. Su Jin quietly ate, and as soon as she finished what was in her bowl, Xie Jingchen added two more pieces for her. Su Jin endured it. He added more. She endured again. Finally— She couldn’t bear it anymore. Su Jin looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "If I keep eating this, the gap between your intelligence and mine will only grow!" Xie Jingchen, "..." Su Jin moved the pig’s head in front of him, "Finish it." Xie Jingchen, "..." Wasn’t this her favorite? He was worried she was too embarrassed to help herself, so he picked more for her, only to anger her? "Are you sure you want to give it all to me?" Xie Jingchen asked. "I’m sure, absolutely sure!" Su Jin blurted out. "..." "Didn’t your ’absolutely sure’ get left on Qingyun Mountain and you brought it back?" Xie Jingchen chuckled. "..." Darn it! Does his memory have to be so good? This makes her feel extremely awkward! Fortunately, Xingxing returned and said, "Miss, I found out." "Speak." "The Duke Mansion steward bought meat and ran into the Marquis Mansion’s cook, who gets half a pig delivered to the Marquis Mansion daily and a pig head every other day," Xingxing said. "..." Half a pig a day? That’s a lot to eat. Su Jin was left speechless. Xie Jingchen was indifferent, after all, he knew the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion could eat over a thousand meat buns a day. Xingxing was angry, "The main kitchen sent pig’s head to the Agarwood Pavilion. I asked, and the kitchen wouldn’t say, until I threatened, then they admitted it was because no one else wanted it, and it was troublesome to prepare, so they sent it to Agarwood Pavilion." Though Miss loves pig’s head a lot. But it was given to them because no one else wanted it! seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, everything good was reserved for Miss, but at the Duke Mansion, she only got what no one wanted. This disparity was a bit hard for Xingxing to bear. Su Jin glanced at Xie Jingchen, "Your Duke Mansion treats me well." Xie Jingchen had nothing to say. This was indeed a bit insulting. "If you want to eat something specific, just tell the main kitchen," Xie Jingchen said. "I’ll go to the main kitchen and bring all the tasty dishes," Xingxing said. "Don’t bring it back, it won’t be fresh if it sits too long," Su Jin reminded. She’s scared. The maid’s portion size is different from hers. When she says she’ll bring it, there’s a good chance she’ll clean it out. After Xingxing left, Su Jin and Xie Jingchen continued eating. Meanwhile, after Xingxing demanded an explanation from the cook about the pig’s head, the cook immediately passed the message to the main kitchen. Steward Mrs. Li of the main kitchen learned of the matter and, feeling worried, saw Xingxing striding over with force. Mrs. Li felt a bit of heartache, knowing that Xingxing liked red-braised meat, she quickly said, "Miss Xingxing, have you had lunch? Why not eat here, we have freshly cooked red-braised meat." A little maid brought over a plate of red-braised meat. The aroma of meat filled the air. Seeing their good attitude, Xingxing didn’t know how to criticize them. "I’m not here to eat," she said. Mrs. Li smiled, "I know, but you could eat while we talk. Ever since the Eldest Young Madam married in, we haven’t had a chance to know her likes. Tell me about them." After all, sitting in the position of the main kitchen steward at the Duke Mansion, she understood the wisdom of not hitting a smiling face. No matter how unreasonable, if I’m offering good food and polite words, you can’t just start a fight, right? And so, Xingxing yielded on account of the red-braised meat. "Alright, we’ll talk while we eat," Xingxing agreed. Mrs. Li had dishes brought over and personally served Xingxing a meal, five dishes and a soup, a treatment even the maids by the Old Madam like Mrs. Wang didn’t enjoy. While eating, Xingxing criticized the main kitchen for sending unwanted pig’s head to her Miss. No matter what she said, Mrs. Li accepted it. Whether to implement it, they’d decide later. After eating, Xingxing burped, "In short, the best things should be sent to our Miss." "Yes, yes." "Besides this, anything else, Miss Xingxing?" Mrs. Li asked. "Nothing else." Mrs. Li saw Xingxing off. Xingxing suddenly recalled something and turned back, "I remembered, our Miss also likes pig intestines, but don’t send them too often, once every seven days, and not too fat." Mrs. Li, "..." The cooks, "..." Xingxing walked away, carrying pastries, Until she was out of sight. Mrs. Li’s mouth twitched, and she was covered with black lines. Sending pig’s head was an insult to the Eldest Young Madam, and they came accusing, scaring her into a cold sweat. Yet when it comes to self-insult, the Eldest Young Madam is fiercer than them all! At least they eat pig’s head. But pig intestines— The Duke Mansion always throws them away. The maid standing beside said, "We didn’t ask which day to send the pig intestines to the Eldest Young Madam." Mrs. Li held her forehead, "Let’s start today then." "Today’s has already been thrown away," the maid said. "Go buy some quickly." "..." The word that the Eldest Young Madam loves pig intestines, spread through the Duke Mansion like wildfire. Xie Jinyu and others were in the garden pavilion enjoying the breeze when they heard this, and felt waves of disgust. "Sister-in-law’s taste is quite unique," Xie Jinxiu said. "I’d rather die than eat that, truly a bandit, her tastes are worlds apart from ours," Xie Jinyu said with disdain. "This must not be spread outside, it would ruin the Duke Mansion’s reputation," Xie Jinxiu said. Xie Jinyu glanced at the maid. The maid covered her mouth with a laugh. A maid approached, delighted, "First Miss, Princess Shouning is here."
