After walking for a while, Li Ningxuan looked at the nearby kitchen and suddenly had an idea. She was lost anyway, how about she go to the kitchen and have a look?

Because it was Li Ningxuan's first time out, she naturally got lost, which was reasonable. It seemed like Zi Yi's worries were not unnecessary.

Li Ningxuan carefully snuck into the kitchen. This wasn't the time to eat, so there weren't many people in the kitchen. This gave her a very good opportunity.

Li Ningxuan silently snuck into the kitchen. Watching the kitchen full of delicacies, she couldn't help but drool.

"What kind of dishes will be prepared for lunch today?" Just as Li Ningxuan was about to make her move, a voice suddenly rang out, scaring her so much that she hurriedly retracted her hand.

"Today, the Madam asked for the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs."

"En, don't tell me that the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs is really delicious. I fell in love with it after just one try, I didn't expect the madame to like it too." As a mama spoke, she didn't notice the nearby Li Ningxuan.

Li Ningxuan secretly thought in her heart, she never thought that the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs she cooked would have such power, it spread like this for so long, it seems like she wasn't asking for a hundred taels back then?

Just as Li Ningxuan was thinking about this, the two mama had already left.

Seeing that there was no one left in the kitchen, Li Ningxuan looked at the food in the kitchen. There were roast duck, bird's nest, ginseng, and many other delicious foods.

Li Ningxuan took a lot of them without any hesitation. She didn't forget to take a bag that was on the side to store these expensive ingredients.

After taking a lot of ingredients, Li Ningxuan quietly left without alerting anyone.

Li Ningxuan followed her memories, yet she still needed to avoid everyone. This was truly not easy.

Just as Li Ningxuan was about to reach the main entrance, Haoran noticed her.

Hao Ran frowned. How could there be such a person in the Li Residence? However, Haoran didn't say anything. This was a family matter. He only gestured for the people beside him to follow Li Ningxuan and see what she had in mind.

"Aiyo, I'm going. Why am I at the gate? How am I going back?" Li Ningxuan looked at the door in distress. Why did she unknowingly come to the door? She really regretted chasing Zi Yi back. What should she do?

Li Ningxuan looked at the gate and decisively walked back.

The person behind Li Ningxuan had quietly followed. With her current skills, she still wasn't strong enough to detect him.

After a few rounds, Li Ningxuan finally arrived at her own courtyard, the Hibiscus Courtyard.

The people following behind Li Ningxuan quietly arrived at the rooftop after seeing her enter their own courtyard.

"Miss, you're finally back. What did you carry on your back?" Zi Yi was afraid that her young miss would get lost, but she didn't know how to go out and look for her. Helpless, she waited for Li Ningxuan at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Delicious. Hurry up and get Zhang mama to make some delicious food to nourish our bodies." Li Ningxuan put down the bag she was carrying and opened it for Zi Yi to see.

"Miss, where did you get this?" Hearing the sound, Zhang mama looked at the food in Li Ningxuan's hand and asked.

"I got it in the kitchen."

"What, miss, how could you steal it!" Zhang mama looked at Li Ningxuan with an incredulous expression.

"How can Zhang mama steal this? Is this Li Residence my home? How can I be counted as stealing something from my home? I clearly took this." Li Ningxuan would not admit that she had stolen it.

"Miss, you …" Zhang mama looked at Li Ningxuan with a pained expression. If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't have the ability, how could she let Miss do all these things?

"Zhang mama, you don't need to say anymore. Hurry up and do it."

"Hey, miss …" The doting look in Zhang mama's eyes made Li Ningxuan's heart feel very uncomfortable.

Li Ningxuan chose not to look at Zhang mama and urged Zi Yi to help as well.

"Ziyi, hurry up and go. I need a good rest." Li Ningxuan had been walking in the front yard for so long, and she was almost dead from exhaustion. She wished that she could immediately return to her room to rest. She was currently rushing Zhang mama and Zi Yi.

Seeing that Li Ningxuan was truly tired, Zhang mama and Zi Yi didn't say anything more and went back to work.

Those eavesdropping on the rooftop saw that there was nothing left to be said, so they went back to report.

"Prince, that is the Li Residence's Fourth Miss."

"Oh?" Haoran played with the teacup in his hand.

"Yes, the Li Residence's Fourth Miss is engaged to the Fourth Prince, but she is now engaged to the Eldest Miss."

"Yes, Zhang Lin, you can leave now." Zhang Lin quickly disappeared and hid himself in the darkness as if no one had come before.

Haoran sat there expressionlessly, but he knew his limits.

This Li Ningxuan, the Li Residence's Fourth Miss, was really interesting.

However, the Li Residence was in chaos.

When the kitchen maid discovered that there was less food in the kitchen, she reported it to the steward. When the steward saw that there was less food in the kitchen, he could only report it to Lady Li.

When Lady Li heard this, she flew into a rage and gathered everyone.

"Tell me, who did it!" When Madame Li saw these servants, she flew into a rage.

The servants were all trembling in fear, no one came out to admit it.

"You, speak." The manager casually pointed at a person.

"I didn't do anything, housekeeper, madam, I really didn't do anything." The servant whose name was mentioned said in panic.

"Then tell me what you've been doing and who you've seen all this time." After all, the steward had been in charge of the Li Residence for many years, and these matters could still be dealt with. However, he could not decide on valuable items.

"I was in the garden this morning watering the flowers to fertilize them. I didn't do anything, nor did I see anything."

"What about you?" The butler quickly appointed the next person.

"Reporting to the butler and madam, this servant has been cleaning the courtyard and did not see anyone. Xia He can testify." A maidservant said.

"Xia He, right?" The butler looked at Xia He and asked.

Being called out by the name of Xia He, he timidly looked at the butler and Lady Li, nodding his head.

"Fine, you guys tell me what you guys are doing, and what proof do you have?"

"I've been chopping wood in front of the kitchen with Xia Dong."

"This servant has been preparing the clothes for Second Miss the whole time."

"..."

Not long after, everyone had said what they were doing and everyone was testifying. Hearing what was said, Li Ning Yu looked at the kneeling servants and then looked at her mother before speaking.

"Mom, I saw my fourth sister today."

"Is that so? What is she doing out here? "

"She said not to let Mother interfere with her marriage."

"Is this girl's wings hard? In my opinion, this matter might have been done by her. " Lady Li didn't like Li Ningxuan at all. Looking at her own daughter, it was actually her own intimate little cotton-padded jacket.

When the servants heard Li Ning Yu say that the Fourth Miss had come out, they all nodded their heads to indicate that they saw her. Thus, a large group of people arrived at the courtyard, the Hibiscus Courtyard, where Li Ning Xuan lived.

After Li Ningxuan had taken the expensive ingredients, she had already finished cooking and finished eating. The rest had already been put away by Zhang mama and Zi Yi. Even if Lady Li and Li Ningyu came, they wouldn't be able to find anything.

"Miss, the Madam is here." Zi Yi came in and informed Li Ningxuan.

On the other hand, Li Ningxuan was surprised for a moment. This Madame Li had not gone to find her herself, but she had come herself, and she did not expect that it would be because of her that she obtained the ingredients.

"May I ask what is the business of the Madam?" Li Ningxuan looked at the majestic crowd at the entrance and was truly surprised for a moment, but that did not mean she was afraid.

"You're a glutton, did you steal the ingredients for the kitchen?" Lady Li used her finger to point at Li Ningxuan. She really didn't look like the head matriarch at all.

"Oh? "Do you have any proof?" Li Ningxuan looked at the bullying butler and said rudely.

"Search!" The butler looked at Li Ningxuan as she unhesitatingly gave the order. How could an unfavoured woman have any ability?

"Let's see who dares!" If Li Ningxuan's people didn't offend me, then I won't offend them. These people have already found their way to her head, how could she still hold back and swallow her anger? This wasn't her style.

For a moment, the housekeeper and his servants were frightened by Li Ningxuan's imposing manner. They didn't expect an unfavoured Shu girl to have such an imposing manner. However, after a while, these people still rushed forward.

Not far away, Little Yellow led the children and rushed out as well. Little Yellow was the first to bite the housekeeper's arm, causing the housekeeper to cry out in pain.

The remaining people did not expect there to be a dog. They did not dare to step forward for a moment. Lady Li and Li Ning Yu, who were at the side, had long been hiding behind the servant with pale faces.

Li Ningxuan did not expect Little Yellow to appear at this time, which surprised her a little.

"Little White, come here." Li Ningxuan looked at the nearby Lil 'White and called out.

"Woof woof woof." Little White quickly ran to Li Ningxuan's feet and she naturally picked it up.

Seeing that it was about time, Li Ningxuan stopped. If she forced him into a corner, it wouldn't be good for anyone.

"Little Yellow, come back."

The butler and servants who were bitten by a dog had long since left. It was unknown when Madam Li and Li Ningyu left, but the Hibiscus Residence was peaceful again. Li Ningxuan looked at the little mutt beside her. It seemed that her decision from the beginning was correct.
