Ye Qingyi raised her eyebrows, "Concubine Yun, if I deal with these two servant girls, I'm afraid it will make people think that I'm taking the opportunity to disgrace my auntie . So, I think it's better to leave them to you . Of course, I believe that my auntie would never intentionally send these unruly servants to my Picturesque Pavilion as you have always been very good to me . "
Concubine Yun's heart shuddered with fear and hurriedly replied, "I completely agree with the Eldest Lady . It was really audacious for these unruly maidservant girls to gossip about their mistress behind her back . "
Concubine Yun turned her head and said to maid Liu and Lian Gui, "Pull these two lowly servants out and beat them to death . If anyone dares to disrespect Eldest Miss in the future, this will be their end!"
Upon hearing that, Jin Ming and Yun Lan were so scared that they started to s.h.i.+ver .
"Milady, spare our lives! I don't want to die! I know I’m at fault!"
Ye Qingyi gave a cold glance to them, "I have already handed you to Concubine Yun," she said, "Concubine Yun has the final say about what to do with you . What's the use of begging me?"
Ye Qingyi then sneered in her heart . ‘Concubine Yun has spread the words about punis.h.i.+ng the maids for my sake . She wants to make me look bad? Don’t ever think about it . !’
When the two maids heard this, they rushed to grab Concubine Yun's skirt and kowtowed desperately for mercy . Concubine Yun didn't want to be a villain for nothing . When she was about to open her mouth, Ye Qingyi said, "Nanny Liu, Lian Gui, Concubine Yun has said that she wanted to kill these two rogue maidservants . What are you waiting for? Can't Concubine Yun even order you two now?"
" Eldest Miss, I dare not!" Nanny Liu and Lian Gui hurriedly responded . They dragged Jin Ming and Yun Lan out of the Picturesque Pavilion .
Concubine Yun's fury that was originally packed in her chest soared up to the top of her head . Her hands clenched, and the tips of her fingernails pierced into her palms . The pain made her calm down gradually .
" Eldest Miss, all of this is auntie's fault . I didn't teach my maidservants well, and they wronged Eldest Miss . "
Ye Qingyi smiled, "It's understandable that Concubine Yun, you were very busy and made some mistakes in teaching the maidservants . But since Auntie Yun agrees that you can't teach the maidservants well, I think it's necessary to replace all my maidservants sent by auntie . Please send me a servants seller tomorrow . I need to pick someone myself . "
As soon as her words came out, the color on Concubine Yun's face turned to flushed . Ye Qingyi glanced at the frozen Concubine Yun with a sneer hanging on her lips .
"Hua Yue, I'm tired . Please see the guests off!"
Concubine Yun suddenly came back to herself and deliberately made herself look in a dilemma, " Eldest Miss, you don't know the difficulty of housekeeping! Now there is not much money available in the house . After a while, the General will return and his colleagues will pay visits to him inevitably . It will cost a lot of money to send return gifts . "
Ye Qingyi narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly, "Auntie, aren't you in charge of the mansion? How come there is no money? How come the esteemed General's Mansion has no money to buy some maidservants? Since our General's Mansion is so poor, why are you wearing such luxurious clothes? As far as I know, the golden phoenix hair decorations on auntie's head is worth 10,000 taels of silver . Since my auntie is saying we are so poor, I will have a good talk with father when he comes back . Oh, I'll also tell father along the way that you think it's too difficult to manage the household . It's better to let my father choose Concubine Feng or Concubine Qin to be in the charge . "
When Concubine Yun heard this, she was shocked and turned pale . She hurriedly said, " Eldest Miss, although the money in the house is a little tight, I will take out my own private savings and will ask a servant-seller to bring some maids tomorrow . As for the business of managing the household, auntie can do it without bothering other sisters . "
Ye Qingyi snorted, "That's the best . "
Hearing Ye Qingyi's words, Concubine Yun was relieved . She immediately said, " Eldest Miss is injured, so I won't disturb you longer . "
When Concubine Yun finished, she saw Ye Hongling standing there in a huff without any intention to leave . She simply dragged her out of the Picturesque Pavilion .
"Mother, what's the matter with you! You were supposed to avenge for me! How come you acted like a mouse seeing a cat when you came to the Picturesque Pavilion and saw Ye Qingyi?" Ye Hongling beeped up her mouth and questioned with dissatisfaction .
Concubine Yun's face changed . She glanced around warily and saw that there was no outsider around before lowering her voice and saying, "Didn't you see Ye Qingyi's capriciousness? What can we do to her if we are wrong in the first place? If this matter escalates and gets to your father, you and I will be the ones who will suffer misfortunes . "
After Ye Hongling heard that, she thought that Concubine Yun was very reasonable . But she was not willing to let go of Ye Qingyi .
Concubine Yun seemed to see through Ye Hongling's mind . She sneered and said, "If you want to beat Ye Qingyi, you will have more opportunities in the future . But . . . "
Concubine Yun stopped abruptly and frowned .
"But what?" Ye Hongling asked .
"Mother always felt that Ye Qingyi suddenly has her personality changed . She became eloquent and sharp-minded . She used to be defiant . But all she could do was to make troubles, and she didn't have the flamboyant tricks . "
As Concubine Yun was saying, Ye Hongling also said, "Mother, I'm wondering about it too . Ye Qingyi used to be very polite to both of us . This time, she suddenly turned hostile and had a fall-out with us . In addition, she is a lot smarter . "
Concubine Yun bid her lips for a while and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter whether that little b.i.t.c.h had an epiphany or was pretending all the time . Both of us should be careful to deal with her in the future either way . Ye Qingyi has your father's backing . It's not worth it to fighting her head to head . "
Ye Hongling nodded and pondered for a moment before saying in a somewhat unwilling tone, "Is mother really going to find a servant seller to let Ye Qingyi pick some maids?"
Concubine Yun sighed slightly, "Jin Ming and Yun Lan, those two d.a.m.ned maidservants, were caught by Ye Qingyi . If we don't let that little b.i.t.c.h have her way this time, my power as the housekeeper will be revoked so long as she brings an action against me in front of the General . In that case, how can I fight with the little b.i.t.c.h in the future?"
Ye Hongling curled her mouth, and her eyes flashed a venomous light like a viper . She said, "Ye Qingyi, sooner or later, I will step on you fiercely and get everything you have!"
Being sleepless all night, Ye Qingyi lay on the carved soft couch . Although being exhausted, she couldn’t sleep .
She tossed and turned for a while before simply beginning to comb all messages of this alien world in her mind .
On Clouds and Sky Continent, martial art was highly respected . On the continent, the three big states were Donglai State, Xichi State, and Nanyue State . They had similar strength and were in a situation of tripart.i.te confrontation . Other smaller states were scattered around the three states .
Ye Qingyi was now in Donglai state . The emperor, Huangfu Hao, was in his prime . He was diligent in governing the country and worked with people with merits . The emperor could be regarded as a wise person of his time .
Ye Zuohou, the father of Ye Qingyi, was the General that led the army to defense Donglai State and made countless military contributions . Therefore, he was deeply loved by the people . However, Ye Zuohou had a daughter named Ye Qingyi who didn't act up to his family's expectations . What was worse, she was also domineering and a through-and-through troublemaker . Normally, she completely relied on Ye Zuohou to clean up her messes .
