Of course, they wouldn't analyze whether it was a prank or someone did it intentionally; they would only connect this incident with previous news, further convincing them that Yi Yi was a monster who would bring them bad luck.
Otherwise, why would so many snakes go to Yi Yi's room but not to other people's rooms? It's obvious that this is Yi Yi's problem.
Now, Yi Yi was even more speechless.
"Li Ma, let's go for a walk. It's so boring staying here."
Unable to bear their strange looks and unwilling to listen to their completely distorted arguments, Yi simply stayed far away and let them talk to themselves.
Li Ma knew what Yi Yi was thinking, but running away wasn't the solution; she had to teach these gossipy people a lesson.
"Young Madam, there's no rush. If you want to go out for a walk, Li Ma will accompany you. But we need to teach these blind fools a lesson first!"
"Hey, no..."
Yi Yi couldn't stop Li Ma, who, maintaining her airs, walked into the chattering crowd, cleared her throat, and scolded, "What's wrong? Didn't anyone teach you manners when you came here?"
Li Ma was quite respected among the servants. As soon as she spoke, the servants stopped talking and stared at her expectantly.
You little sluts, we've got you covered!
Li Ma straightened her chest and continued in a serious tone, "In this family, besides being law-abiding and doing your duty, the most important thing is to be careful with your words and actions. Don't say things you shouldn't say, and don't spread rumors you shouldn't spread."
"But what if this isn't a rumor? Can we say it?"
The one who spoke up was Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang was the oldest and highest-ranking among the new maids. So her words carried some weight among the younger maids.
Upon hearing this, the servants who had been silently listening to Li Ma's reprimand suddenly came to life and began to discuss it eagerly.
"That's right, this isn't a rumor, it's clearly an undeniable fact. Anyone with eyes can see it clearly, so why can't we say it?"
"Just thinking about that scene gives me the creeps. So many snakes! I've never seen so many snakes in my entire life. I wonder what kind of background the young mistress we're serving is. Could she really be some kind of..."
"I was skeptical about that news before, thinking it might just be a prank. But these strange things that have happened have forced me to believe it. Do you think we're in any danger working here?"
"Actually, the young mistress looks quite kind, and she's been good to us. Who would believe she's... But who knows? You can know a person's face but not their heart..."
Seeing that the discussion was becoming increasingly unbearable, Li Ma glanced at Yi Yi worriedly, about to speak up to stop them. Yi Yi, however, secretly gave her a look, signaling her not to stop them and to let them talk.
At this moment, Yi Yi had gradually calmed down, sitting quietly on the sofa as if she hadn't heard anything.
Although no one said a word, Yi Yi overheard everything the servants said. She always felt that someone was deliberately causing trouble, and that person was very likely in this villa.
As she listened to their discussion, her intuition told her that the person behind all the trouble wasn't among them.
Could it be that she's mistaken?
