The second elder left. However, the more grape and lotus seed thought about it, the more uneasy they felt. In their eyes, the second elder was too unreliable. The two of them looked at each other and said in unison,””Why don’t we go and take a look?”
After making up their mind, they said goodbye to ning Bo and went to the kitchen of the main house.
The second elder arrived at the main house’s kitchen and looked around. The kitchen door was full of people. He was about to walk in when he was suddenly pulled back by a strong man who was maintaining order.
“Go to the back and line up!” The burly man curled his lips and said in disdain.
“Uh! Line up?” The second elder was stunned. He had to line up to get a dish? In fact, the second elder just didn’t know that receiving a dish would be so troublesome. However, his stunned expression made him look like a fool in the eyes of the burly man. Moreover, this man had only been to the main residence for a short time and didn’t recognize the former second elder at all. The people in the queue did recognize him, but they didn’t dare to reveal the second elder’s ident.i.ty in public. This could be considered as the tea turning cold when the person pa.s.sed!
“What’s wrong? Do you have an opinion?” The brawny man said with dissatisfaction, his eyes almost reaching the top of his head.
“Do you know who I am?” The second elder took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. It was fine if he was squeezed dry by that wretched girl, but who asked her to have the old ancestor’s support? he couldn’t afford to offend her! But now, even a servant of the ning family dared to speak to him in such a tone and look at him with such disdainful eyes. It was really preposterous!
Although the second elder had been demoted, the pride in his bones would not allow anyone to trample on it. However, he did not want to make a big deal out of it, lest others. .h.i.t him when he was down.
“I don’t care who you are. If you’re here to get food, you have to line up properly. Don’t cause trouble for our head butler, or else, you’ll have a hard time. ” The brawny man said disapprovingly. In his opinion, this guy in servant’s clothes was not enough to be feared. Who asked him to be a popular person by the chief steward’s side?
The second elder was about to get angry, but someone beside him quietly tugged at the corner of his clothes and transmitted a message,””Second elder, calm down! Your status is different from the past, and he’s the new head Butler’s confidant. Don’t anger him, or you’ll have a hard time in the ning family. ”
The person who had sent the message was the unlucky guy who had been caught by the second elder to cook for him two days ago. After receiving his message, the second elder nodded slightly. It was indeed better to avoid trouble now. It was better not to provoke these people. It was not that he was afraid, but he did not want to be a joke.
After expressing his grat.i.tude to the person who had sent the message, the second elder glanced at the burly man and walked straight to the end of the row.
Seeing this, the strong man could not help but show a proud smile. It seemed that his words still had a certain power, the strong man thought to himself.
Standing at the end of the row, the second elder’s mood was unusually low. He had been high and mighty in the ning family, but who knew that in just a few days, he had fallen from the clouds to the dust. And among the attendants present, most of them knew him, but only one person had sent him a message. Could this be the so-called fickleness of human nature?
In the past, the clan members respected him and feared him. However, in the blink of an eye, he had become a fleeting cloud. Such a difference really made people feel disheartened!
In the past, when he was in a high position, he had never thought that he would fall from the clouds one day. However, now he really felt it. It was a wonderful feeling.
After waiting in line for a long time, there were only three people in front of him. The second elder, who had seen a ray of light, was extremely happy.
However, just as he was about to celebrate, he was surprised to find that the people who came later ran ahead of him one by one to get the food, but the three people in front of him did not move at all.
F * ck! What was this? Cutting the queue? I’ve been in line for so long, and someone actually dared to cut the line in front of me? This was preposterous!
In an instant! The second elder was furious!
The second elder grabbed an attendant who was about to walk past him, grabbed him by the collar! And threw him behind him! With a loud sound, the man was thrown far away.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to cause trouble?” The brawny man who maintained order was furious. He didn’t expect that someone would dare to use force in front of him. They really didn’t want to live.
“Don’t we need to line up to receive the dish? I’m just helping him. ” The second elder’s eyes looked towards the sky as he spoke in an indifferent tone.
“Who said he needs to line up? Do you think he’s the same as you guys!” The brawny man said angrily. His bull eyes, which were as big as copper bells, glared at the second elder.
“He doesn’t need to line up? How is he different from us?” The second elder’s face was full of question marks, and his bright black eyes flickered with doubt.
“He is fifth young lady’s servant! Miss Wu was still waiting for lunch! Don’t tell me you dare to make him line up and let fifth young lady go hungry?” The burly man asked.
“Which fifth young lady?” The second elder was stunned. There were too many young ladies in the clan, so he didn’t know who the other party was talking about.
“Of course it’s the ning family’s most favored young lady, miss Ning Xi ‘er.” The brawny man seemed to be a little self-conscious. After all, fifth young lady had personally spoken to him before! This was enough to make him proud for a while. Therefore, he took special care of the fifth miss’s attendants. However, he did not dare to offend the attendants of the young master, the acting Master, and the elders. Therefore, the fifth miss was not the only one who enjoyed special treatment.
“Ning Xi ‘er is the most favored young lady of the ning family?” The second elder was suspicious of the brawny man’s words. In his opinion, the ning family’s most favored young lady was clearly the one who had no blood relations.h.i.+p with the ning family. Even if it didn’t work, there was still Ning Yan! How could it be a young lady born of a concubine!
Ning Xi ‘er might be favored, but only the acting Master and some elders favored her. Wasn’t she too arrogant to call herself the most favored one? Where would Leng ruoxue go? Where would Ning Yan be?
“Of course! So you’d better be tactful and not anger fifth young lady, otherwise I won’t let you off. ” The brawny man threatened.
“What do you want to do to me?” The second elder was so angry that he laughed. That wretched girl dared to threaten him because she had the capital. However, such a thing who used a chicken feather as a token of authority also dared to threaten him. He really didn’t know what he was talking about.
If the Tiger doesn’t show its might, does it think I’m a sick cat? It just so happened that he had a stomach full of grievances recently and had no place to vent them! This stinky thing is lucky!
“I will make you regret this! In the ning family, there are some people you can’t afford to offend. ” The brawny man was even more furious when he saw that the second elder still had the guts to laugh.
“Mm! You’re right. ” The second elder nodded in agreement.
Then, the burly man suddenly shouted,””You’ve violated your superior and beat up your clansmen. I’ve decided to cancel your allocation for today. Please leave immediately.”
