Chapter 17

The cooks and helpers, who were chatting all the way with lanterns, suddenly saw that there was a vague sense of squatting outside the gate. Under the dim light of this day, they really jumped.

"Who?! Stand up!"

Qi Ke stood up obediently, she just came out to make a show, and she didn't want to conflict with the cooks. The people who work in the kitchen either have big shoulders or strong muscles. I guess the food is usually good. Anyway, at first glance, no one has a big neck. Yes, her body is like a reed stick, it is very irrational and a waste of time to conflict with them.

Seeing her stand up and seeing her appearance and figure clearly, the cooks and helpers couldn't help but gasp. There are people in the house who are so thin?
Seeing their expressions, Qi Ke tapped the padlock on the door a few times with a hatchet in his hand.

"Open the door." Qi Ke's voice was full of impatience.

"Who are you? Where did the beggar come from? He even stole our hatchet! Bring the knife back! Go rolling, I'll beat you if you don't leave!" People in the kitchen use knives every day, so how could they be afraid of the hatchet in her hand? , a handyman stepped forward to scold him, and reached out his hand to grab the knife. They could see clearly that the hatchet was good steel.

Qi Ke's wrist flicked, and the hatchet slashed at the opponent's hand. Although the man was not afraid of the knife, he didn't want to be injured by the knife. At the same time, Qi Ke raised his other hand and hid the small watering can in the palm of his hand. Aiming at his face, "呲", the unforgettable gas sprayed his face.

"Ah!" The handyman suddenly fell to the ground, his face was burning with pain, choking and burning, tears and snot running wildly, and there was a strange smell in his nose and mouth that went straight to the depths of his brain.

The cooks and handymen were taken aback by this sudden change, and they took a few steps back and watched vigilantly. At the same time, the people standing at the back took the cover of their companions and quickly slipped outside to report the news.

This stinky beggar who doesn't know where it came from ran into the house to make a fuss, and he had to report to the steward quickly.

After Qi Ke brought the man down, he took the hatchet and knocked on the padlock on the door again. It was the same words, "Open the door."

"Who are you? Do you know where this place is? Run here to be wild! I'm tired of you!" The chef knew that he couldn't retreat. He was the head of the entire kitchen. If he shrank back, he would wait for this to subside Now, the people below must be ready to rebel.

"Stop talking nonsense and open the door quickly. The house that my mother Ji Xiaorui bought, I'm tired of walking around? Huh? Who gave you so much courage?"

"...Ji Xiaorui? Mrs. Ji?" An old man's surprised voice came from behind the crowd, "Are you the eldest lady?"

"What eldest lady?!" Everyone in the kitchen immediately noticed the secret taste of Gaomen, and turned back in search of voices.

Qi Ke followed suit and looked at him. He looked like an old man who was at least 50 or [-] years old, and most of his hair was gray, but who knew his real age.

"The eldest lady is the only daughter of the eldest master, the wife of Yuanpei, but since the lady passed away, the old lady has changed a large number of servants in the house who serve the master closely. No one knows that there is an eldest young lady in the house who is directly descended from the Yuan consort, and they call the eldest daughter of the second master the eldest young lady."

The old man told the story.

"Little old man has always been a kitchen handyman. Seeing that the kitchen at that time was almost replaced by everyone, the steward saw that little old man was too old and couldn't make any money, so he showed kindness. Since his wife passed away, there has been no news of the eldest miss. , I didn't expect to see the eldest lady today."
