“Yes.” Butler Zhao had beco accustod to following i Shu’s orders.
In the past, he would have definitely consulted i Yun’s opinion before acting.
But now, he had completely lost that awareness.
It was evident that during the ti when i Yun left ho under the pretext of a business trip to cope with the shock, the people of the i family had completely obeyed i Shu’s commands.
i Mu also noticed this subtle change.
She was secretly shocked, but her face showed no hint of it.
Among the people present, only the old lady remained clueless.
She still relied on the identity of her son as the head of the family, thinking she could continue to exert her dominance in the i family. Little did she know that her son’s position was already hanging by a thread.
During dinner, the change in i Shu’s status in the family beca even more apparent.
The family sat around the dining table. Before i Shu touched her chopsticks, none of her brothers, including i Yue, dared to reach for the food first.
i Yun thought that perhaps the dishes prepared tonight didn’t suit i Shu’s taste, so he also refrained from eating first. Instead, he looked at i Shu with concern and cautiously asked, “Shu’er, if the dishes tonight are not to your liking, I’ll have the kitchen prepare sothing else for you.”
“No need.”
i Shu looked around and saw i Mu eagerly eyeing a plate of at dishes. She picked up her chopsticks and took a piece, placing it in i He’s bowl. “Try this, Xiao He.”
“Thank you, Sister.” With two strangers present, i He didn’t dare to speak freely. He kept his head down and continued eating the at that i Shu had placed in his bowl.
It seed that the slices of at could never be eaten up. i He savored them with small, cherished bites but didn’t eat much.
i Shu found it amusing and simply placed the entire plate of at to i He’s side. “Eat, as long as you like it. Sister can have the kitchen make more for you.”
i He genuinely smiled. As long as he could feel his sister’s care all the ti, he didn’t mind the sudden strangeness in the family atmosphere.
i Shu gently touched his hair, then addressed the others, “Alright, let’s eat.”
i Yan was the first to reach out with his chopsticks to pick up food.
The old lady, watching on the side, noticed sothing. She thought i Shu was asserting her dominance and was dissatisfied, ready to cause so trouble for i Shu.
Noticing i Yan reaching for a dish a bit further away, she rolled her eyes and suddenly moved that dish in front of i Mu. “Co, Mumu, try this. You’ve suffered a lot in jail. Look how thin you are. Now that you’re out of jail, you should nourish yourself.”
“Thank you, Grandma.” i Mu gratefully thanked her while glancing at i Yan, who had an expression of dissatisfaction. This delighted i Mu.
The old lady was clearly picking on i Shu and her brothers for her!
Then she could just sit back and enjoy the show!
Indeed, the next ti i Jing and i Yan wanted to take a dish, the old lady followed the sa tactic. She either intentionally moved the dish to i Mu’s front or preemptively took action, deliberately stirring the dishes in the plate, making them unappetizing.
i Jing and i Yan were imdiately put off their appetite.
i Mu, seeing that the timing was almost right, gently declined the old lady’s enthusiasm, “Grandma, please don’t just focus on . Brothers might also want to eat these dishes.”
She then personally placed the dishes that i Jing and i Yan had wanted to eat in front of them. “Sorry, Grandma is just too worried about my health. She didn’t an to ignore you all. We are all family, so of course, we should share delicious food together. Besides, 1 am the older sister. Naturally, I should take care of you. If you like these dishes, please eat first.”
i Jing imdiately looked at her in a different light.
It seed that i Mu had gained so intelligence during her stay in the jail, but he still disliked her hypocritical attitude.
He snorted, about to mock her.
i Shu quickly stopped him, smiling, “It’s just a few dishes. There’s no need for all this back and forth. You all look like kids. If you like the dishes, have the kitchen make more. These dishes don’t take much ti.”
After saying that, she directly instructed Butler Zhao to inform the kitchen to make one more of each dish that the old lady had taken earlier.
i Shu effortlessly turned the subtle situation around.
What she needed to make everyone understand now was that she, i Shu, was the only one who could lead the i family.
With that, i Mu could only awkwardly put down the dishes. In the open and hidden contest, she once again fell behind.
Although this incident didn’t seem like a big deal, without i Shu’s intervention, i Mu’s words earlier were paving the way for her to re-establish herself in the i family.
Even though she despised being the elder sister of these brats, she didn’t want to be isolated by all of them at the sa ti.
But i Shu, with a tone clearly belonging to an adult, made her sound like an inexperienced child. She was completely excluded from this family, becoming an outsider who needed to speak politely and act carefully.. How could she not be angry?
