"You..." Qiao Xiangxing's eyes widened, glaring angrily at the woman in front of her who dared to sneer at the madam, and said through gritted teeth: "Third madam, don't go too far!"
"How presumptuous. You, a little maid, dare to yell at our third lady? I think you lack discipline!" The maid who was following the woman also scolded Qiao Xiang sharply at this moment.
There is a hint of contempt hidden between her eyebrows, which is even worse than her master's.
Qiao was so fragrant that she was about to argue. Li Jingyou, who had been silent all this time, reached out to stop her, slowly put down the ginseng tea in her hand, and said in a light voice: "So, you think I have failed to discipline you well?"
Although Li Jingyou's face was expressionless, her eyes were staring at the third lady in front of her solemnly, and her words were quite oppressive.
It was the first time for the third lady, Lu Xiyun, to see such an eldest lady, and she was really surprised. If it were normal, this anxious eldest lady would have jumped up and yelled at her. How could she be as calm and composed as she is today?
And the momentum is overwhelming?!
Although Lu Xiyun was secretly surprised by the eldest lady's abnormality, he couldn't get into a fight with her face to face. He quickly put on a fake smile to calm the atmosphere: "Sister, don't be upset. She is your sister and I don't know how to discipline her. Since Qiaoxiang is my sister's dowry girl, and
How can there be a lack of discipline?"
Li Jingyou glanced at the maid next to the third lady with a half-smile, nodded slightly and said: "Sister, this maid is very sharp-tongued. Since my sister also feels that I can't discipline her well, why don't you stay with me for the time being and train her until you really understand?"
How about giving it back to my sister now that there are rules in this house?"
Lu Xiyun looked slightly startled when he heard this. He never expected that his words would give the eldest lady an excuse to take away her personal maid Huan'er!
Huan'er is her most considerate and smart maid. If she is no longer around, it will be very disadvantageous for her to do things!
Just when Lu Xiyun was hesitating, Huan'er's expression changed drastically, and she looked at her master almost as if asking for help, hoping that she would refuse.
"Sister, it's not that my sister refuses, it's just that Huan'er has always stayed by my side to serve me. Even though she is careless, I'm used to it... It's different for my sister. I'm just afraid that Huan'er will annoy my sister if she passes by!"
"Oh? What's different about me?" Li Jingyou asked with raised eyebrows, still smiling slightly, but Lu Xiyun couldn't guess what she was thinking at this moment.
"Sister is the daughter of General Wei and the eldest lady in the palace. Naturally, she is rich and noble. How can concubines like us compare..." Lu Xiyun said bravely. Every time she said a word, she could see her smile.
It deepened a bit, and my heart became more panicked and uneasy.
"So you still know..." Li Jingyou nodded with satisfaction, the smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared, and her eyes were cold: "I hope that the third lady will remember to remind herself of this from time to time in her actions and words in the future!"
"Sister, I know!" Lu Xiyun was shocked by her cold and stern gaze. She lowered her head subconsciously and said yes. There was no trace of the sarcastic and insinuation of the eldest lady just now!
"I'm tired..." Li Jingyou yawned and then stood up. Seeing that she was planning to go back to the house to rest, Lu Xiyun was about to leave with Huan'er when Li Jingyou spoke again.
"Huan'er doesn't know etiquette, so just stay in my yard and discipline her for now. Sister, don't worry, I will tell the housekeeper and ask him to assign another girl for you to control!"
