Ye Qingyi was sitting elegantly in the main seat of the grand drawing room, in front of a gold-plated jade screen . Hua Yue handed her the teacup . Ye Qingyi slowly took off the lid of the cup with her slim hands . The steam in the air had diffused into a thin hint of fog . Her eyelashes were as sumptuous as phoenix wings .

Hua Yue gathered all the maids of Picturesque Pavilion as the Miss told her to . Everyone was standing there uniformly with their eyes down . They didn’t even dare to breathe . There were a dozen people in the drawing room but so quiet that it was as if there had only been one person .

A while later, Ye Qingyi raised her head . She was looking peaceful, scanning at the four maids she just picked . The four were considered pretty, above average at least .

In the previous life, she had met countless people, so she had precise judgments to people’s personalities just by looking at their appearance . The reason why she picked the four out of the few dozens was the cleanness in their eyes . Their eyes never flickered, apparently they were honest and loyal . Nevertheless, everything has its exceptions . Time will tell whether these four could prove themselves reliable .

“What are your names?”

“It’s Lan, Miss . ”

“It’s Cui, Miss . ”

“It’s Hong, Miss . ”

“It’s Qing, Miss . ”

Ye Qingyi’s mouth twitched after hearing these names . She silently thought to herself, “Such tacky names . ” After a short pause, she said, “I will rename you . ”  

The four were shocked at first but then nodded in excitement . They had always thought that their names were bad but were not literate enough to rename themselves . Now that the new master was willing to rename them, it would be such a great thing .

Ye Qingyi frowned slightly . She thought for a short moment and said slowly, “From now on, Lan would be Yue Shuang; Cui would be Xing Yu; Hong would be Xue Qing; Qing would be Wu Miao . ”

The four’s joy was beyond containment . They knelt and thanked Ye Qingyi, “Thank you, my Miss, for giving us names . ”

Ye Qingyi said calmly, “It’s good to be smart working at Picturesque Pavilion, but it’s better to be loyal . If anyone betrays me someday, there would be severe punishments . ”

The maids were all intimidated, and they say unanimously, “I will follow Miss till death . If I ever betray Miss, may a thousand arrows pierce my heart . ”

They all witnessed how eldest Miss treated the second Miss and the third Miss earlier today . The eldest Miss had reborn now and would definitely s.h.i.+ne bright in the future . If they ever dare betray her, n.o.body knows what awaits them .

“Now, get up . ”

“Thank you, Miss . ”

Ye Qingyi took a light sip of the tea and put the cup down . She stared at the smoke rising from the clay incense furnace and said, “You shall follow Hua Yue from now on . She’ll teach you the rules here . Ask her if there’s anything you don’t know . ”

The four quickly replied, “Understand, Miss . ”

Then, Ye Qingyi said, “Hua Yue, show them around Picturesque Pavilion and tell them the rules here . ”

Ever since Ye Qingyi came to this world, she had discovered the little things that snitches of Concubine Yun did to her . She fired them and set up the rules of working at Picturesque Pavilion .

Hua Yue familiarized the four with Picturesque Pavilion and told them the Miss’s rules . Then, she sent them off to work .

When Hua Yue returned to the room, Ye Qingyi was drinking tea .

“Miss, you trust these four people?” Hua Yue was a bit worried . Even though her Miss had removed all the snitches that Concubine Yun arranged, Concubine Yun might do something yet again . You could do anything with money these days .

“It’s alright . They won’t . Even though they are the lower-cla.s.s maids, but they have more spirit in their eyes than the higher-cla.s.s maids as Concubine Yun . ” Ye Qingyi had always been confident in her judgement to people . Those four must be loyal servants . They wouldn’t betray their Miss .

“Well, you still need to be careful, Miss . ” Hua Yue trusted her Miss’s words, but how could people fully understand each other after all?

Ye Qingyi felt her heart warmed . Since she came here, everyone treated her as a thorn in the flesh, just because her father’s love to her . Apart from Concubine Yun, countless people in the mansion would like to see her die . Hua Yue was the only one who treated her well . “However, being the owner of the body now, I should control my own life and death . If others want to mess with me, they need to be prepared for my revenge . ”

Hua Yue looked at Ye Qingyi, whose eyes were sharp and focused, as if she had seriously wanted to kill someone . She did not understand why her Miss had become like this, but at least n.o.body could harm her anymore . Even though her Miss scares her from time to time, (her killing look was just too scary), she was much more active then before . Now that the Miss was not useless anymore, she naturally wouldn’t let others harm her .

Ye Qingyi didn’t know what Hua Yue was thinking, neither did Hua Yue know Ye Qingyi . The Miss was everything to Hua Yue . As for Ye Qingyi, she was well aware of Hua Yue’s loyalty even though she’d never expressed much . The maid and the Miss could sometimes understand each other within eye contact only . That was more than enough already .

Ye Qingyi was a bit tired . Just now she fought with her sisters and drained her stamina . It seemed that her body still needed some hard practicing‒ its physical strength was far below satisfactory . “Hua Yue, I am going to take a rest . Don’t wake me up if there’s nothing emergent . ” Ye Qingyi said .

Hua Yue replied, “Yes, Miss . ”

When she woke up, the sky was almost dark already and it was near dinnertime . Ye Qingyi got up and got changed . “Hua Yue,” she called .

“Ahh, Miss, you’re awake . ”

Hearing the call of Ye Qingyi, Hua Yue, who was just outside the door, pushed open the door and walked in .

“Is Daddy back?”

“The General has returned, Miss . ”

Ye Qingyi smiled . “It’s good that father has returned . Concubine Yun, sister, you have the guts to mess with me, then you have to take the consequences . ” “Go, let’s go find Daddy . ”

“Huh?” Hua Yue didn’t know what her Miss was planning again . The only thing she knew was that her Miss was putting on a cunning smile . She recalled what second and third Miss did this afternoon and realized that her Miss was going to… Judging from the situation now, there would be much suffering for Concubine Yun and the ladies . The Miss was so scary when it comes to evil plots . She was glad that she serves her Miss, or else she would have died ten times already .

Ye Qingyi arrived Ye Zuohou’s garden, but she stopped the servants from telling him and entered the room quietly by herself . As soon as she entered the room, she saw her handsome father sitting at his desk, frowning, seemingly troubled by something .
