They showed no sympathy for the Third Miss. Just outside the gate, they had clearly heard her cursing the Old Madam as a slut.
As a young lady of a noble family, she has far too little manners. It is only right that she was punished by the old lady.
Adan choked. She should have realized it sooner. In the current Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, no one but Rong Qingqing could have done this to the young lady.
"The Third Miss has been returned. Please take good care of her." After saying this, the servant left.
Even though Adan was dissatisfied, she had no time to pay attention to them at this moment. Seeing Xie Jingyi's fiery eyes, she dared not delay and quickly untied her.
Xie Jingyi ripped the handkerchief out of her mouth, stomped on it twice in frustration, and then went back inside.
Adan followed her inside. Looking at her angry mistress, she felt helpless and advised, "Miss, it's best to avoid provoking Rong Qingqing in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingyi angrily retorted, "Are you afraid of her too?"
Adan sighed, "I am just a servant. Now the old lady holds great power in the mansion and is very influential. All the servants obey her orders. Naturally, I dare not challenge her. Miss, it would be best to avoid her for the time being and not have a direct confrontation with her."
Xie Jingyi frowned, quite unconvinced. "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how capable she is, that's all she'll ever be. When Xie Jingrun's wife comes into the family, will she hand over the reins of the household to her? That'll be when she'll be in an awkward position."
Adan nodded. "That's right. Why can't Miss just put up with this moment of anger? Once Miss finds a good marriage in the future, she can leave this place. There's really no need to be hostile to Rong Qingqing."
“But I can’t swallow this insult. You saw how she treated me just now.” Xie Jingyi’s face was still grim. “Besides, I heard from Yiyi that she also robbed her shop.”
Adan's eyes flickered, and she said, "Miss, as far as I know, Miss Yiyi's birth mother, Madam Chen, was originally a maid, so she shouldn't have any private property."
Xie Jingyi paused, then frowned and said, "I know. It's because her mother's background wasn't high either, and she resembled my mother somewhat. We were both illegitimate daughters, and we were quite similar in some ways, which is why we became close friends. But Madam Chen didn't have any private property, yet she was deeply favored by Lord Rong. After so many years in the Rong household, it's normal for her to have accumulated several shops. Otherwise, it's possible that Lord Rong gave them to her. Rong Qingqing must have been jealous of Yiyi's success, which is why she used such despicable means to snatch them away."
Adan remained noncommittal, but in her heart she felt that her young mistress had a bad temper and was easily swayed by others. If things continued like this, one day she would really suffer a great loss.
She thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, that's Miss Yiyi's business, and we outsiders shouldn't interfere."
"Adan, isn't that too cold-hearted of you? Yiyi is my good friend, after all. How can I just sit idly by and watch my good friend get bullied?" Xie Jingyi said, disagreeing.
Adan sighed and reminded her, "Miss Yiyi is the Third Prince's fiancée. If anything happens, the Third Prince will take care of it for her. Miss, don't worry about it." The key point is that Miss is no match for Rong Qingqing at all.
Speaking of the Third Prince, Xie Jingyi's eyes lit up. "How come I didn't think of that?"
"What is it that you're thinking about, Miss?" Adan asked.
"The Seventh Princess is very fond of Xie Jingrun. If she finds out..." Xie Jingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
