Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots

Lin Yuan lowered her gaze and sipped her tea, suppressing the smile at the corners of her mouth. She had long seen through Su Qiuyu being a complete pretender, a white lotus; she just hadn’t expected her to change her face so quickly. The only question was, what kind of trap was she setting for her now?

"Ha." Su Qiuyu gave a derisive snort, looking at Lin Yuan sipping her tea, her face revealing a hint of disdain.

Lin Yuan pretended not to hear the contempt in her laugh and looked up blankly, "Miss Su said something?"

With a hook of her lips, Su Qiuyu responded, "Could it be that Miss Lin doesn’t know? Well, it’s understandable that you wouldn’t know. Just by looking at the way Miss Lin holds the teacup, one can tell you never received proper etiquette training."

Shaking her head with a long-suffering expression, Su Qiuyu added, "Tsk tsk, Miss Lin, born to a family of such modest means, never having been to the Capital city, you certainly don’t know the ways of people there. A woman like Miss Lin can only be a match for a waiter in a tavern, in the Capital. Oh, just like the lad who was clearing our dishes earlier."

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, getting rather fed up with Su Qiuyu’s meandering speech, "Miss Su has said so much; what is it exactly you wish to convey? Be direct, please."

With a snort of disdain, Su Qiuyu glanced at her scornfully, "Why, hasn’t Miss Lin figured it out yet? Yaner."

Yaner curtseyed slightly towards Su Qiuyu, a sneer laced with contempt adorning her mouth, "I imagine Miss Lin is still unaware of my young lady’s status. My young lady is the legitimate daughter of the current Prime Minister Su, and she grew up with Young Master Xia as childhood sweethearts, inseparable since their youth. Their relationship is not just well-known to our two families but also to everyone in the entire Capital city. Miss Lin, let me advise you, with your background and status, you couldn’t even qualify to be a concubine to Young Master Xia, let alone his lawful wife. You would be at the very bottom, a lowly concubine, never to surpass my young lady."

"Oh, is that so?" Lin Yuan nodded nonchalantly, lifting her head to ask Yaner, still seemingly not quite catching on.
