“Yueyue, I don’t trust a servant who disrespects her master to serve you. Send her back to the Li family.” Li Jieyue said, intending to label Hu Meier as unqualified and send her back.
"Hu Meier knows she was wrong, Lady Li Jieyue, please don't send me back!" Upon hearing Li Jieyue's decision, Hu Meier's face turned deathly pale. She immediately knelt down, wanting to plead with Li Jieyue, "I will serve Miss well."
"Don't plead with me." Li Jieyue's voice was colder than the dead of winter. Even Bai Yueyue was startled by Li Jieyue's tone.
Hmm, my mother's angry voice is really intimidating, thankfully she's never said that to me.
Although Li Jieyue often wore a dangerous smile, Bai Yueyue had never encountered such a disdainful look and tone before. While somewhat rude, Bai Yueyue even began to doubt whether this was truly her mother.
"Young Miss, please forgive my rudeness. I will definitely serve you well." Hearing Li Jieyue's words, Hu Meier understood that her fate was in Bai Yueyue's hands.
"It feels awful to decide someone else's fate," Bai Yueyue thought, but she was more concerned with how Li Jieyue wanted her to deal with Hu Meier.
“Hu Meier, I know you admire Mother very much, but since Mother has made you my personal attendant, you should put me at the center of your heart,” Bai Yueyue said after a brief moment of thought. “If you can do that, I will agree that you can stay and continue to serve me.”
I usually prioritize my mother, so there's no difference between prioritizing myself and prioritizing my mother. However, it seems my mother wants me to have my own authority.
"Young Miss, I can definitely do it." Hu Meier knelt down and bowed to Bai Yueyue.
“Mother, since Hu Meier has realized her mistake and decided to serve me well, I’ve decided to give her another chance. If she still doesn’t change, then we’ll send her back.” Bai Yueyue looked at Li Jieyue and stated her decision.
That should be correct, right? Since the other person was chosen by the mother and maternal grandfather, it means that the other person is the most suitable to serve them.
Since Mother didn't let her go back directly, but instead asked me to make the decision, she probably wants me to play the bad cop to win over the other party, right?
After hearing Bai Yueyue's words, Li Jieyue regained her usual smile. Seeing Li Jieyue return to her usual self, Bai Yueyue knew that she had made the right decision.
"Since Yueyue has decided to give you another chance, then you can stay for now." Li Jieyue's words were tantamount to "stamping" Bai Yueyue's decision.
"Yes, Madam. Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I will do my best to serve you." Hu Meier had an expression as if she had just survived a disaster.
Hmm, are we really that scary? Also, there's no need to go all out, or you'll really feel uncomfortable doing that.
"Well, Hu Meier, I still don't know where my room is, but you should know, right?" Bai Yueyue asked. Since arriving at the manor, Bai Yueyue had been busy dealing with Zhao Shuli and Hu Meier and hadn't had time to go to her own room yet.
"Yes, Miss, Lady Zhao Shuli has already told me where your room is."
Hmm, so everyone's certain that Hu Meier is going to serve them.
"That's a huge help. Could you please put my luggage in the room? No, could you please just help me set up the room?" Bai Yueyue gave Hu Meier her first instruction.
But Hu Meier looked troubled.
Huh? Is it difficult to give my own orders? Bai Yueyue didn't understand. Shouldn't what I said be okay?
Zhao Shuli, who had already prepared tea and was waiting at the door, knocked on the door.
"Come in," Li Jieyue said.
After nodding and bowing to the two, Zhao Shuli placed the tea back in a spot where Bai Yueyue could easily reach it.
"Zhao Shuli, if there's anything you want to tell me, please tell me here." Bai Yueyue saw that Zhao Shuli seemed eager to talk to her. Although she knew it was likely that Zhao Shuli would criticize her, in this situation, shouldn't she listen to her opinion?
“Yes, Miss. Miss, Hu Meier is your personal attendant. Unless there are special circumstances, she cannot leave your side at will. Also, the layout of the room should be decided by Miss herself. As an attendant, Hu Meier has no right to decide on behalf of Miss.”
Ugh, this is so troublesome. Doesn't that mean I have no privacy at all? Bai Yueyue really wanted to scratch her head and look annoyed, but she absolutely couldn't do that in front of Li Jieyue and Zhao Shuli.
"However, since I'm new here, I'm not familiar with the manor's layout. If Hu Meier doesn't prepare my room in advance, I'll be in a lot of trouble. Mother, please allow Hu Meier to leave my side temporarily to prepare my room." In this situation, if it were Mother, the person of the highest status present, who gave the order, it should be fine, right?
"Your request is granted." Just as Bai Yueyue had guessed, Zhao Shuli stepped aside after Li Jieyue spoke.
"Hu Meier will not disappoint Madam and Miss. Hu Meier will take her leave now."
After Hu Meier left, Zhao Shuli still stood respectfully in front of Bai Yueyue, but despite her respect, why did she feel like she was being overthrown?
“Zhao Shuli, you must have heard about how Bai Yueyue dealt with Hu Meier, right?” Li Jieyue asked.
"I'm sorry, Madam, although it was only at the door, I did hear it."
"I forgive your rudeness, so please judge Bai Yueyue's decision."
“Thank you for your tolerance and trust, Madam,” Zhao Shuli then looked at Bai Yueyue, “Please forgive my overstepping my bounds, Miss.”
