In the room of Butler Kim, a dark figure leaped in through the window.

The man walked up to Butler Jin and whispered something in his ear, causing Butler Jin's face to darken and become increasingly displeased.

Meanwhile, after finishing her phone call with Ye Mohan, Jian Yixue slept until she naturally woke up.

She rubbed her eyes, her stomach growling in protest, and picked up her phone to check the time.

Good heavens, it's already seven o'clock! No wonder my stomach is protesting.

She got up, tidied herself up, and headed to the kitchen.

As soon as I reached the kitchen door, I heard people talking about her inside.

She stopped and stood still, wanting to hear what they could say about her.

"This new young mistress is so lazy. I don't know what she's doing in her room. She didn't even come down for lunch."

"It was said by a sharp-tongued maid."

"That's nothing. I heard that the reason she was able to marry the young master was because the master ordered it. The young master doesn't like her at all," another maid chimed in.

"Yes, I've heard about this too. I heard she was born to the former wife of the Jian family and was sent to live in the countryside when she was not very old. She was only recently brought back to the capital."

"Ah, how can such a country bumpkin be worthy of our young master? What was the master thinking?"

The two spoke in unison, taking turns to sing.

"Who knows? Maybe she's really good at seducing people."

Upon hearing this, the other maid looked as if she had just realized something.

"No wonder the old master insisted that the young master marry her, even ignoring Miss Huangfu, his childhood sweetheart and a suitable match. Could it be that she and the old master..."

One of the maids had such a wild idea that she didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"What happened between me and the old man?"

Jian Yixue, who was originally at the door, stepped in and interrupted their conversation.

The two maids never expected Jian Yixue to come to the kitchen, and to catch them gossiping about her as soon as she arrived, so they panicked instantly.

"Young Madam, we didn't mean to talk about you. Please don't take offense. We will never do it again."

One of the maids, with her head down, hurriedly spoke.

The other person immediately chimed in after hearing this.

"Oh? Where did I give you the wrong impression that I would let you off the hook after you made fun of me? Do you think I'm that easy to talk to?"

"Young Madam, we really dare not do it again. Please, don't tell the Master. We need this job to support our family. Please, please forgive us."

Jian Yixue sneered: "Even if you care so much about losing your job, how come you don't know how to think twice before you speak?"

She is not a saint and cannot save all living beings.

Although I acted that way in my past life, I never did evil to anyone, yet I still died with my eyes wide open in disbelief.

In this life, she is who she is, a unique spark.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

"Young Madam, how can you be so heartless? I've already apologized to you, yet you're still being aggressive. How can you be so cruel?"

One of the maids, with her hair in two braids, spoke angrily.

Seeing this, another maid chimed in, "That's right! We've already admitted our mistakes, but they still won't let us go. Are they only happy when they've driven us to our deaths?"

Jian Yixue was amused and annoyed by their words. She was clearly the victim in the whole affair, so why did they make it seem like she was the one making things difficult for them?

"Who says I have to accept your apology? Don't you know that talking about your master behind his back is the least forgivable thing?"

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, the two were instantly furious, but then something suddenly occurred to them.

"You're not the owner here. The old man is still in charge. Do you think you can overtake him and take over? This is a power grab!"

Jian Yixue leaned against the doorway, smiling coldly.

She was clearly smiling, but there wasn't a trace of joy in her eyes.

"Do you really think the old man would believe you but not me, the granddaughter-in-law whom the Ye family has married through proper channels? I'm curious, where did you get your confidence?"

Upon hearing this, the two maids turned pale and were at a loss for what to do, looking at Jian Yixue with resentment.

"You vicious woman, if the young master knew that the woman he married was so wicked, he would definitely divorce you."

"There's no need for you two to worry about that. At least for now, I am still the young mistress of the Ye family, while you two need to think carefully about where you're headed."

Upon hearing this, the two maids looked at Jian Yixue with eyes that seemed to be filled with venom.

Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the butler, who rushed over.

Butler Jin had come down to serve Master Ye his evening medicinal meal. When he saw the maid with her face flushed red and Jian Yixue, who was completely calm and composed, he was a little puzzled.

After all, based on these few interactions, he didn't believe that Jian Yixue would deliberately make things difficult for the servants.

He glanced at the blushing maid beside him and asked, "What happened?"

Upon hearing this, the maid with braided pigtails immediately looked aggrieved and said with teary eyes, "Butler Jin, the young mistress wants to kick us out."

The housekeeper clearly didn't believe her, and looked at another maid, gesturing with his eyes to ask if what she said was true.

The other maid nodded in agreement.

Butler Jin was puzzled. He couldn't understand why Jian Yixue would do this, so he looked at Jian Yixue, hoping she could tell him the reason.

Jian Yixue, who was leaning against the wall, clapped her hands, got up and took a few steps forward, a strange smile in her eyes.

"What a blatant distortion of the truth! Why don't you explain the cause? You dare to speak but not admit it?"

The two maids could only glare at Jian Yixue with resentment because of the presence of the housekeeper, Mr. Jin.

Their long-standing tacit understanding has united them on one side.

As long as they don't admit it, and there's no fourth person at the scene who knows, let's see what she can do about it.

"Are you so sure that if you don't tell us, there's no way to verify it?"

Jian Yixue spoke coldly, her face devoid of any warmth, and reached for her phone, turning it on to play a recording.

The two maids sensed something was wrong, exchanged a glance, and prepared to snatch Jian Yixue's phone.

How could Jian Yixue let them succeed? She dodged perfectly with a slight movement.

Upon realizing they had failed, the two were utterly devastated.

"You acted so quickly, and now you're scared? Why didn't you think twice before you said it?"

Jian Yixue looked at the two of them with a cold expression and spoke unfriendly.

Butler Jin was a shrewd person; upon hearing this, he immediately understood what was going on.

Her expression changed instantly, her brows furrowed, and she said seriously and displeasedly, "You two will leave the Ye family tomorrow. We don't need gossipy people here. Besides, she is the young mistress of the Ye family appointed by the old master, and that will never change."

He looked at Jian Yixue with unwavering eyes, showing his support for her.

Jian Yixue was deeply moved by Butler Jin's actions. Although she could support herself in her own way, Butler Jin's support would make things much easier.
