Chapter 651: Crazy criticism of the powerful officials for robbing the beautiful maid
The flower beds are trimmed every day. There is not much work to do, but since someone is watching, Zhang Xintong still worked diligently for the entire afternoon.
The people here only eat two meals a day, and the nobles are no different. However, the nobles will have some cakes at noon, while the servants have to go hungry.
Zhang Xintong had worked all day and although she had some pastries in the study, she was still very hungry.
When it was time to cook dinner, Zhang Xintong went to the small kitchen, sat on a small stool, and took over the job of making the fire.
This small kitchen is specially used to prepare meals for Wei Ziyuan. There are two cooks in charge of cooking, and four maids helping out. Including Zhang Xintong, there are a total of seven people.
While Zhang Xintong was making a fire, she observed the other six people. None of them had any martial arts skills, but they were nimble and worked very quickly.
The cooking skills of the two cooks were quite good. Although she couldn’t taste the food, it smelled delicious. Of course, it might also be because she was too hungry and her stomach was rumbling.
The cook prepared the food, put it in a food box and handed it to Zhang Xintong.
"The master has ordered that you go and deliver it today."
The original owner had been captured at this time in her previous life and tortured to death within a few days, so there was no need to deliver food boxes. I don't know why she was asked to deliver food boxes this time, as this was obviously not her job.
The poison in the original owner was given by someone around Aunt Zhou this morning. Zhang Xintong guessed that Wei Ziyuan knew about this and was giving her a chance to take action.
Zhang Xintong took over the two large food boxes. They were so heavy that she almost dropped them on the ground. Each food box had 6 layers, with rice, vegetables and soup. Adding to the weight of the food boxes, four maids were used to carry them before, but now she had to carry them alone. How cruel!
Zhang Xintong carried two food boxes and walked laboriously from the small kitchen to the dining room. Although the distance was not far, they were really heavy!
Zhang Xintong really couldn't move them, and with no one to help her, she could only carry them back and forth one by one, with several guards watching in the dark.
When Zhang Xintong entered the dining room, carrying her lunch box, Wei Ziyuan was waiting at the table. He was tall and imposing, his face sculpted with distinct features, angular and handsome. His dark, deep eyes exuded a wild, uninhibited, and wickedly sexy allure. He exuded a cool aura, his long, cascading black hair and his ornate clothing betraying his extraordinary status.
Zhang Xintong's body trembled uncontrollably. This was the original owner's emotion. In the previous life, it was Wei Ziyuan who killed the original owner. It was normal for her to be afraid.
This is the first time they have this kind of relationship in this world, but the original Wei Ziyuan did nothing wrong. They have different positions, so it is naturally a life-and-death struggle. He is not a good person, so it is normal for him to be cruel and ruthless.
It turned out that Zhang Xintong would not blame her man for what happened between them, but her fear was real, and she had to be very restrained to suppress the trembling of her body.
Zhang Xintong opened the lunch box, and exquisite dishes were placed on the table, a total of ten dishes, one soup and a large bowl of rice.
Zhang Xintong served a small bowl of rice and a small bowl of soup in front of Wei Ziyuan, placed the chopsticks and spoon in place, and then stood beside him.
Wei Ziyuan glanced at Zhang Xintong and found her very beautiful. No wonder Wei Zining liked her. Nothing in the Duke's Mansion could be hidden from him. If it were not difficult to deal with his father's concubine Zhou directly, he would not allow this woman to enter his yard.
The guard didn't come to report, so it seems that the woman didn't take any action. What is she waiting for?
"You used the teacup in the study"
This light and airy sentence was full of oppression. Zhang Xintong knelt on the ground, without any quibbling, and admitted her mistake directly.
"My Lord, I was wrong."
Wei Ziyuan didn't expect Zhang Xintong to admit her mistake so readily, and he became somewhat interested.
"That set of teacups is worth 300 taels. I won't use them anymore. What do you think I should do?"
Zhang Xintong......
Really dark...
Zhang Xintong suppressed her fear and looked at Wei Ziyuan timidly.
"What do you want to do, Master?"
Zhang Xintong's pitiful look made Wei Ziyuan's heart ripple. He walked over, pinched Zhang Xintong's chin and looked left and right.
“This face still has some value.”
Zhang Xintong dodged backwards with fear in her eyes, but her chin was pinched tightly and she couldn't move.
"My Lord, I was really wrong. I won't do it again."
Wei Ziyuan looked at the timid and beautiful maid and suddenly wanted to make her cry.
Wei Ziyuan is not a good person. A good person would not turn the tide when the third prince is weak and push him to the throne. He would not also gain the emperor's trust after he has achieved success and be in charge of the Dali Temple. He is very evil-hearted.
Wei Ziyuan let go of Zhang Xintong and returned to the dining table. He picked up the chopsticks and ate bite by bite. He didn't ask Zhang Xintong to serve him, just let her kneel there.
It didn't matter to Zhang Xintong whether she knelt or not, and she didn't kneel before others, but she was really hungry! Especially when she was very hungry and someone was eating next to her, it was simply terrible.
"Xiao 9, I'm so hungry!"
"Tongtong, how about you take a fasting pill?"
"No, I want to eat delicious food."
"How about a time-stopping function?"
Zhang Xintong remembered the time-freezing function, which she had exchanged in the fairy tale world. It cost 50 points for 2 seconds, and it could not be used in a cumulative manner. The interval had to be more than 10 seconds, which was not cost-effective.
"Forget it! 50 points in 2 seconds, it's over before I even get to eat it."
"Tongtong, have you forgotten that I've upgraded? I now have the most advanced system in the Quick Transmigration System Bureau, the only one of its kind."
"so what?"
"I'm the most senior, so naturally I get special treatment. 50 points will buy you 1 minute."
Zhang Xintong's eyes lit up
"Really?"
"real"
After the upgrade, Xiao 9 has an electronic display screen. Zhang Xintong opened it to check the points. The last time she checked, there were still 9210 points. She hadn't seen three worlds, and there was one world in the middle with no points. Now there are 9910 points. She only needs to complete five or six tasks and it will be over. Points cannot be wasted, as they will all be used in the end. 50 points can be exchanged for a time freeze function.
"Xiao 9, you operate, I'll be ready. We can't waste a second."
Zhang Xintong was drooling over the food on the table, and was just waiting for Xiao 9 to deduct the points so that she could feast on it.
"Okay, you had 9910 points before, 50 points will be deducted, leaving you with 9860 points. Tongtong, 3, 2, 1, start."
Zhang Xintong took out a pair of chopsticks from the space, quickly stood up and ran to the dining table. She had no time to observe others and just concentrated on eating.
There were 10 dishes, not too many, not too few. Zhang Xintong took two bites of each and shoveled them in. No one could tell there were fewer dishes. She ate a little hurriedly, but the food tasted really good. When the countdown to 9 was 8 seconds left, Zhang Xintong stopped eating and pinched Wei Ziyuan's face hard, asking him to pinch her chin just now.
After doing something bad, Zhang Xintong wiped her mouth with paper, threw it back into the space along with the chopsticks, and knelt down in the same place. As soon as she knelt down, time resumed.
Xiao 9 praises
"Tongtong, you are really a master of time management. Not a single second was wasted."
"It's okay! It's no big deal!"
"Are you full?"
"No, just eat it after you leave."
Wei Ziyuan felt a slight pain on the right side of his face, as if someone had pinched him hard. He touched it and it wasn't an illusion; it really hurt. No one had been in the room before, so what was going on?
