Bai Yueyue felt that Qin Ye's education should not be her responsibility, but rather Qin Limin's.
As Hu Meier retreated to Bai Yueyue's side, the resentment in Qin Ye's eyes became even more undisguised.
"I warned you to control your master's words and actions. Did you think that just because I didn't punish him then, you didn't need to care?" As for Qin Ye, his punishment should be decided by Qin Limin. What Bai Yueyue needs to do is punish Qin Ye's personal attendants.
"Bai Yueyue, they are my personal attendants."
"Shut up! Didn't your godfather teach you that you should shut up when your sister is being reprimanded? Go back and have your etiquette teacher resign." Bai Yueyue's voice didn't need to be too loud, but it carried enough magic to make Qin Ye dare not disobey. "You all really should go to a museum to demonstrate your intelligence. All of you, get back here. Your personal attendants should all resign voluntarily. Qin Ye, I will tell your godfather about what happened today. You'd better go and apologize yourself."
Bai Yueyue is essentially protecting Qin Ye. If he stays here with Ahao, they're bound to cause even bigger trouble. In the current situation, Bai Yueyue can take the blame for him, letting Qin Limin handle the punishment. Given Qin Limin's personality, the punishment won't be too severe.
If Qin Ye accidentally offends A Hao, even the Qin family won't be able to protect him, and it might even implicate the entire Qin family.
After Qin Ye left, Bai Yueyue looked at Ahao, who had been watching the show, and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ahao, I'm sorry for making you laugh. He's still too young and needs to grow more."
"It's nothing. I'm just surprised that Miss Bai Yueyue, whom I always thought would be a gentle and ladylike person, can be so strict." Ahao waved his hand, with only a smile on his face. Bai Yueyue couldn't see through his true thoughts at this moment.
“After all, he’s my younger brother. If I’m not strict with him, I won’t be able to educate him successfully.” Bai Yueyue made a headache face. “But my younger brother is very smart. His personal attendant reports that he learns skills very hard and quickly.”
"So, as the older sister, Miss Bai Yueyue must be very skilled at learning skills, right?" Ahao changed the subject back to Bai Yueyue.
"Hehe, Young Master Ahao thinks too highly of me. My mother often criticizes me for being dull-witted. I have only learned a little of what my mother taught me, so I can't be considered excellent and it's not worth mentioning."
"I wonder if I would have the honor of witnessing Miss Bai Yueyue's musical skills?"
"Oh dear, Mother has instructed me not to embarrass myself in public before my coming-of-age ceremony," Bai Yueyue politely declined. She couldn't possibly reveal her current situation to Ahao, lest he exploit her again.
"It's really sad. In that case, I'll be looking forward to Miss Bai Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony."
Bai Yueyue knew what Ahao meant; he wanted her to personally deliver the invitation. Pretending not to understand, she said, "With Mother's help, I will prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony."
Well, actually, Bai Yueyue herself didn't participate in the preparations for the coming-of-age ceremony at all. It was all handled by Li Jieyue and Zhao Shuli. Bai Yueyue only needed to be the main character on that day.
However, the coming-of-age ceremony can be seen as Bai Yueyue's formal invitation to enter aristocratic society. To outsiders, nobles of Bai Yueyue's age would say that she organized it herself, with her mother assisting, in order to enhance her resume.
So, what Bai Yueyue means is, please wait until my mother and I have discussed it before informing you!
"Hehe, in that case, Miss Bai Yueyue, what are your plans for dealing with these two?"
Looking at Lu Wu and Lu Ji kneeling to the side, Bai Yueyue also felt annoyed.
None of them are easy to deal with. If Qin Ye had listened to her and sent the two of them directly to the police station, Bai Yueyue could have told Ahao that she had already taken care of things for him.
“Since they stole other people’s property, I think handing them over to the police is the most appropriate course of action,” Bai Yueyue said, hoping to downplay the seriousness of the matter.
The two looked at Bai Yueyue with resentment and disgust in their eyes, but because of Bai Yueyue's previous behavior and Ahao's presence, they dared not show it directly.
Ah Hao chuckled lightly, "Miss Bai Yueyue really dotes on these commoners. However, they don't seem to appreciate Miss Bai Yueyue at all, and they are still disrespectful to her to this day."
Disrespect for nobles is a serious crime against commoners.
Why don't you two learn from the Dragon King's patience and forbearance for a little while?
"Hehe, she's still a child after all, she needs to be educated." Bai Yueyue made an excuse for them, she knew all too well how nobles would deal with her.
“If Miss Bai Yueyue feels reluctant, I can do it for her and execute them.” Ah Hao had already figured out Bai Yueyue’s personality. Whether it was her treatment of Qin Ye or the current treatment of these two civilians, she had been too lenient and merciful, even biased. At this moment, he was merely testing Bai Yueyue’s bottom line.
Upon hearing Ah Hao's words, both Lu Wu and Lu Ji stiffened involuntarily, and even their breathing became rapid.
Clearly, they were more afraid of Ah Hao's words; Ah Hao had instilled enough fear in them from the very beginning.
Do I really lack the ability to manage? Bai Yueyue looked at the two of them and felt a little dizzy. Now that they're afraid, why didn't they listen to her earlier?
"Hehe, if Miss Bai Yueyue is not happy, there is no need to handle it this way." While Bai Yueyue was thinking of a solution, Ahao suddenly laughed. "How can we put Miss Bai Yueyue in a difficult position? If Miss Bai Yueyue really wants to protect them, of course I can let them go."
Ah Hao's words brought a sigh of relief to both of them.
The two idiots were easily outmaneuvered by Ah Hao.
“Of course not,” Bai Yueyue refused. She didn’t believe that Ahao would let this opportunity pass. If he didn’t punish them now, it would only mean that he would take bigger actions next. “Since they made a mistake, it is only right that they be punished.”
However, the two of them were just as stupid as Qin Ye. When they heard that A Hao had decided to let them go, Bai Yueyue disagreed and became even more annoyed with her.
“It’s alright, I just hope to make Miss Bai Yueyue happy.” Ahao’s smile disgusted Bai Yueyue; it was too gentle and kind, even more annoying than Qin Zijin’s smile. If Bai Yueyue hadn’t known from the beginning that the other party was a member of the imperial family, she would have thought Ahao was a friendly nobleman. “For this reason, I won’t hold it against them for stealing my jade pendant.”
Now that things have come to this point, if Bai Yueyue still disagrees, it would be disrespectful to the imperial family.
"Aren't you going to thank Young Master Hao for his leniency?" Bai Yueyue looked at the two of them, wishing she could throw them out.
"Thank you for your leniency, Young Master Hao," the two quickly said.
"Hehe, we should thank Miss Bai Yueyue for her kindness." Ah Hao was indeed very satisfied now; he had successfully tested what he wanted to test.
"No need, Cui Ye, see them out." Bai Yueyue really didn't want them to thank her; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her anger.
