Chapter 15

Volume 1_Chapter 15 Get out yourself, or shall I "invite" you?

Early the next morning, Yun Qiyue was woken up by noise.

"My mistress is still sleeping. Whatever it is, wait until my mistress wakes up."

It was Sixue's voice.

Why is Sixue here? Where is Qingyan?

"I have important business to find the Third Miss. Get out of my way."

"I won't—"

Listening to the conversation outside, Yun Qiyue's eyes were cold, and she quickly got up to dress.

Yun Qiyue had just finished dressing when the door was rudely pushed open from the outside.

Leading them was a fierce-looking mama. At the first sight of her, Yun Qiyue's heart couldn't help but tremble, and a fear engraved into her bones rose inexplicably.

This was naturally not Yun Qiyue's own emotion, but the original owner's.

From the original owner's memories, she already knew this mama's identity.

She was a person by Xu Shi's side, surnamed Zhao, whose status was second only to her dowry maid, Lin Mama, but she was a gun in Xu Shi's hands.

Xu Shi not only had to maintain her hypocritical appearance in front of outsiders but also in front of everyone in the Yun family, so Xu Shi let Zhao Mama do some things.

Among these things, it naturally included bullying the original owner.

It could be said that among all the memories of the original owner being beaten, the memories brought by Zhao Mama were the deepest.

"Yo, Third Miss, it's already high noon, why are you just getting up?" Zhao Mama looked at Yun Qiyue with no respect at all, as if she were the master.

Having accepted the original owner's memories, Yun Qiyue's eyes toward Zhao Mama were filled with coldness. Hearing Zhao Mama's sarcastic words, Yun Qiyue's lips curled into a cold arc.

Very good, the people who bullied the original owner have delivered themselves to her door; she couldn't be blamed for having itchy feet.

The next moment, before Zhao Mama could even see how Yun Qiyue attacked, she only felt a pain in her abdomen, and then her body flew up and fell straight toward the outside of the door.

"Bang—" with a sound, she smashed onto the ground.

"Ouch—" Zhao Mama wailed in pain and couldn't even crawl up.

After kicking Mother Zhao, Yun Qiyue's gaze fell on the two maids who had come with Mother Zhao and were still holding Sixue, "Get out yourselves, or shall I 'invite' you?"

Hearing this, the two maids were slightly stunned. When they met Yun Qiyue's eyes, their eyes were full of terror. They were so scared that they immediately let go of Sixue and hurriedly retreated from the room.

Zhao Mama on the ground tried several times but failed to crawl up, looking miserable. She angrily said to the two maids, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you help me up?"

The two maids hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Mama up.

Supported by the two maids, Zhao Mama felt as if her old bones were about to fall apart. She pointed at Yun Qiyue miserably and angrily, "You—this old servant serves by the First Madam's side. You actually dare to treat this old servant like this; aren't you afraid that the First Madam will blame you?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue sneered, "What, can people by the First Madam's side barge into the master's room?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mama's face was still ugly, "This old servant just came to wake the Eldest Miss up. The Eldest Miss kicked this old servant away; that is too unreasonable."

In her view, her barging into Yun Qiyue's room was not a big deal, because in her heart, Yun Qiyue was still the same as before, someone she could bully at will.

In front of Yun Qiyue, she was used to being high and mighty without tucking her tail.

"Reason?" Yun Qiyue mocked, "If you barging into the master's room while the master is sleeping is reason, then I really should go out and sing praises for your master, letting everyone in the capital know how your master teaches the servants below."

Hearing this, Zhao Mama's face turned pale.

If this kind of thing spread out and ruined the good reputation that the First Madam had built in the capital for so many years, then she would definitely be in big trouble.

Zhao Mama looked at Yun Qiyue, but looked into the depths of Yun Qiyue's cold eyes.

Only at this moment did Zhao Mama finally accept the fact that Yun Qiyue was already different.

With a "thump," Zhao Mama knelt directly on the ground, "Third Miss, it was this old servant's fault for entering the Third Miss's room without knocking just now. Please punish me, Third Miss."

The other two maids who came with Zhao Mama also knelt down in a panic, not daring to lift their heads.

Looking at Zhao Mama, who was arrogant a moment ago and was now tucking her tail, Yun Qiyue's expression was still very cold, "Since you know you were wrong, then kneel. When I forgive you, you can get up."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mama suddenly lifted her head, "Third Miss, you..."

Yun Qiyue, "What, Zhao Mama, do you still think it would be better for me to sing praises for the First Madam?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mama gritted her teeth, suppressing the anger in her heart, "This old servant didn't mean that."

"Since you didn't mean that, then kneel." After saying this, she frowned again, "Oh, right, don't block my room. Go outside and kneel."

Kneeling in her Mingyue Building, she found it an eyesore.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mama's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Yun Qiyue waited for a long while, and seeing that Zhao Mama didn't move, she asked, "What, you still don't want to?"

Zhao Mama's fists were clenched, and she lowered her eyes to suppress the resentment in her heart, "No, it's just that this old servant was ordered by the First Madam to invite the Third Miss to the next room for a chat."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue yawned ill-timed, "Alright, I know. You go out and kneel."

Zhao Mama wanted to say something else, but facing Yun Qiyue's cool, threatening gaze, she could only unwillingly take the two maids and kneel outside.

However, not long after the three of them knelt, one maid took advantage of no one paying attention and quietly left.

Sixue saw it and hurriedly told Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue, however, had an expression of having expected it, and said faintly, "Let her go."

If no one reported the news, how could the play go on?

Sixue was puzzled but didn't say much.

Being bored while waiting anyway, Yun Qiyue looked at Sixue and said faintly: "Where is Qingyan?"

Seeing Yun Qiyue ask about Qingyan, Sixue was so startled that she knelt down, "Eldest Miss, it was this servant who made the decision to change positions with Qingyan. Please punish me, Eldest Miss."

After all, only Qingyan was kept by Yun Qiyue's side; it was naturally wrong for them to change shifts privately like this.

Yun Qiyue didn't express her stance, just quietly looking at Sixue.

Sixue was panicked in her heart, so she knelt and answered Yun Qiyue's question, "Last night, an assassin sneaked into the General's Mansion, wanting to attack Yun Bo. Qingyan is still guarding Yun Bo's side."

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue's brows finally furrowed, "What about the General's Mansion's guards?"

Although the two mansions were connected, it was impossible to count on the guards next door to guard the General's Mansion side.

But, in this huge General's Mansion, there should always be someone guarding it, right? Otherwise, how could she not have heard any movement at all?

Also, although Yun Bo was the steward of the General's Mansion, he was old and in poor health. What kind of person would send an assassin to kill Yun Bo?

Hearing this, Sixue's face looked a bit wrong, but under Yun Qiyue's gaze, Sixue continued, "In these three years, the First Madam would always find faults with those guards and then dismiss them all."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue's eyes grew colder.

It was the First Madam again.

Heh, Xu Shi, your hand really reaches far enough.

Sixue looked at Yun Qiyue cautiously. Seeing that Yun Qiyue didn't speak, her heart drummed, "Eldest Miss, this servant..."

Yun Qiyue's gaze swept toward Sixue, "Alright, we'll talk about your business when Qingyan comes. Get up first."

Both Qingyan and Sixue were very strange.

These two, one was mixed among ordinary maids, and one appeared in Yun Bo's room, and both called Yun Bo foster father, but she had no impression of them at all.

However, she couldn't feel any malice from these two maids, so she wasn't in a hurry to figure out their business; she would deal with the matter at hand first.

Upon hearing this, although Sixue was nervous, not knowing if her mistress would keep her, she still stood up as ordered.

At this time, there was movement at the door.

Yun Qiyue looked toward the door and curled her lips.

The person had arrived.

Very good, the play was about to begin.
