He Ye, Li Mingzhu's maid, was trembling with fear.
The fourth young lady is getting harder and harder to please lately! She throws things at the drop of a hat and even beats and scolds the servants!
As the fourth young lady's personal maid, she was beaten and scolded the most!
This really caused her a lot of distress!
She bit her lower lip. If she could just hold on a little longer, once the Fourth Miss married into the Sixth Prince's household, she would find an opportunity...
I've heard that the Sixth Prince is a womanizer. Although she doesn't have the same natural beauty as the Fifth Miss, she thinks she's much prettier than the Fourth Miss!
He Ye took a deep breath, walked up to Li Mingzhu, and patiently comforted her, "Miss, please calm down. The Sixth Prince is a prince, and he naturally has more things to do and manage than the young master of the Sang family. Perhaps he is too busy to attend to everything. He will definitely come to see you after some time!"
Li Mingzhu heard this kind of comfort from her eight hundred times a day, and she was already quite impatient with it.
"He's busy? When he used to send people to fetch me every day, he wasn't busy at all! If he's really busy, what about Consort Min? Couldn't she send a maid or eunuch to bring me some things to make me look good? Now that I'm being left out like this, who knows how much they'll laugh at me from Liuyan Courtyard!"
Lotus Leaf blurted out, "Fifth Miss is always well-educated and reasonable, how could she possibly laugh at Miss?"
"presumptuous!"
Li Mingzhu slapped her across the face and said viciously, "Are you saying that I'm ignorant and unreasonable? I'm not even as good as that peasant who's been wandering around outside for over ten years?"
Lotus Leaf immediately knelt down, "No! Miss, that's not what I meant at all!"
"Bitch! They're all bitches!!"
Li Mingzhu threw a few more teacups, and it was unclear who she was cursing at.
She suddenly stood up and said, "No! I can't wait any longer! I have to go out and find the Sixth Prince!"
On any other day, He Ye would definitely have spoken up to stop her. But she had just been hit by Li Mingzhu and was still angry, so she didn't want to stop her anymore.
After all, if we try to stop her, we'll get beaten up. It's better to let the Fourth Miss suffer a bit!
Seeing Li Mingzhu run out of the courtyard, He Ye covered her face and slowly followed her out.
At the entrance of the Li residence, Li Mingzhu was stopped by the servants.
"Fourth Miss! Master has ordered that you are not allowed to go out without permission!"
"Get out of my way!"
Li Mingzhu waved away the servant's hand, "You dog of a servant! Get out of my way!"
"Fourth Miss!" the servant stopped her again, "You really can't go out!"
"I am the future Sixth Prince's Consort! Do you all have a death wish?"
The servants were trained by the steward, so they weren't easily intimidated by her few words. They remained calm and repeated, "Fourth Miss, you can't go out!"
Li Mingzhu raised her hand and slapped each of the two servants across the face, then put on the airs of a princess consort and said, "You dog servants! Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will have the Sixth Prince exterminate your entire family!"
The servant's face was slapped, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
The Li family has always been lenient with their servants; if they haven't done anything wrong, they won't be punished.
I never expected that the Fourth Miss would disregard the family rules so much!
It seems that even if they're not related by blood, it's still different!
Li Mingzhu seemed to sense the contempt in the servants' eyes, and began to go berserk, making a scene at the gate of the mansion, which even alarmed the passersby nearby.
"Fourth Sister is so impressive!"
Li Yunyan's soft voice came from behind the courtyard gate, and Li Mingzhu, who was making a ruckus, suddenly stopped.
The system just summoned Li Yunyan to the manor gate, saying there was something interesting to see. So this is what the excitement is!
She sent someone to inform Li's mother when she arrived, so she should be here soon!
She took two steps forward and gently advised, "Fourth Sister, please don't make things difficult for the servants in the house. They all follow the rules from above. If they break the rules for your sake, they will be punished!"
His words warmed the hearts of all the servants present.
That's right! They were working diligently, but the Fourth Miss insisted on barging out the door without a word! If they didn't comply, she would beat them! If they let her out, the Master would punish them.
No matter what they do, it's wrong! Being a servant is so hard for them!
Fortunately, the Fifth Miss was well-educated and reasonable, understood their difficulties, and even spoke up for them!
They all cast grateful glances at Li Yunyan.
Li Mingzhu looked at the servants who had been glaring at her angrily just moments before, now all looking at Li Yunyan with the eyes of someone revering a Bodhisattva. The contrast was too stark, making her feel extremely disrespected.
She snapped, "Li Yunyan! What are you pretending to be, playing the good person? Your hypocritical act is disgusting!"
"Fourth sister has wronged me! I just didn't want to see you make a mistake! Besides, Mother said that servants are people too. They are doing their duty, so they shouldn't be beaten or scolded at will!"
Li Yunyan looked aggrieved, but her words were reasonable and well-founded. She even brought up her mother, which made the onlookers outside nod in agreement.
"This fifth young lady is indeed as rumored. Not only is she as beautiful as an angel, but she is also well-educated, gentle and quiet."
"I've heard she's also a skilled healer! She's truly talented and beautiful!"
"It seems the Li family is very strict in managing their household, even treating their servants with such leniency!"
"I've heard that the Li family has a rule against taking concubines. Daughters who marry into their family are truly blessed!"
"Huh? It seems his family has a third young master who is still unmarried. I need to have someone inquire about him!"
"But this fourth young lady is indeed not their biological daughter! Let's not talk about her looks, that's natural! But even her character is on a completely different level from the Li family!"
"The Li family has raised a thankless wretch in the past sixteen years!"
