Chapter 174
However, Yunxi's hard times had only just begun.
When Yun Wan returned home that day, she did not immediately call Yun Xi over. Instead, she waited until Yun Xi came to pay her respects the next day. First, she gave her a box, and then she gestured with her chin toward a corner and said, "Go stand over there."
Yunxi was puzzled when she heard Yunwan continue, "You are now practically a mistress of the household, so you must not be as lazy as before. I went home yesterday, and Mother also told me to teach you proper manners, so..."
A smile flashed in Yun Wan's eyes: "The next few days may be tough for you, little sister."
Her words were impeccable.
Both for the sake of the Marquis's mansion and on the orders of Madam Yun, with these two mountains pressing down on her, Yun Xi had no choice but to obediently comply.
Seeing that Yunxi obediently stood there, Yunwan's smile deepened.
That bitch finally got what she deserved!
If we don't take this opportunity to teach this bitch a lesson, she'll have suffered all this time for nothing!
"So-called etiquette, to put it simply, is about sitting, lying down, standing and walking. However, there are various ways to do each of these things, and it can be quite profound. As the saying goes, if you don't learn it, then don't bother. But if you do learn it, you should strive to be the best so that you won't make a fool of yourself in the future."
"I won't say more, little sister, let's start by learning to stand."
As soon as Yun Wan finished speaking, Pearl came over carrying an exquisite celadon lotus-shaped vase.
"Auntie, this is from Ru kiln, it's worth the same as gold and jade, you'd better take good care of it."
top?
Yunxi was still bewildered when she saw Pearl place the bottle directly on her head.
The vase looked light, but it was actually quite heavy. When Yunxi placed it on her head, she soon felt that the characters on it were about to break.
Yun Wan slowly sipped her tea and said, "This vase was part of my mother's dowry. It was given to me when I got married. If it were to break in such good condition, I wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if I sold myself. You must be careful, little sister."
With gold and jade of equal value, and being part of Madam Yun's dowry, even if Yun Xi were to break her legs standing today, she certainly wouldn't dare let this vase cause any mishap!
A smile flashed in Yun Wan's eyes.
Pearl returned to Yun Wan's side, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery: "Young Madam trusts Aunt, that's why she gave up such a precious thing and made Aunt take the blame. Aunt will have to kneel down and thank Young Madam for her kindness later!"
The master and servant acted in unison, and even though Jixiang and Le'an wanted to plead for Yunxi, they had no way to speak up.
After all, Yun Wan was willing to give Yun Xi such a valuable gift, which shows how much she values her.
Yunxi, standing to the side, lowered her eyes, and the corner of her mouth seemed to twitch slightly.
You trust her so much...
How could she not betray that trust?
Yunxi lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
Yun Wan sat comfortably in the main seat, holding a teacup in one hand and an account book in the other, only glancing at Yun Xi every now and then.
Time passed quickly, along with the dripping water in the room, and soon enough time had elapsed.
Le'an couldn't stand it anymore: "Young Madam, learning etiquette should be done step by step. An incense stick's worth of time has already passed. Why don't you let your aunt rest for a while?"
Knowing that she was Shen Rang's person, Pearl spoke more politely: "Miss Le'an, that's not how it is. Who has an easy time learning etiquette from a young age? Auntie is getting old, so she needs to hurry up and learn. Otherwise, if she does something impolite, can you take the blame for Auntie?"
Le An was speechless for a moment. He glanced at Yun Xi, sighed, and stepped aside.
Yun Wan smiled and looked at Yun Xi again.
Upon closer inspection, they saw Yunxi's body tremble slightly.
Yun Wan even put down her ledger and subconsciously stared intently at her.
Under her gaze, Yunxi trembled more and more violently, and the vase on her head became increasingly dangerous.
"Auntie!" Pearl snapped, "You'd better stand still! Do you know the value of this vase—"
"Bang!"
Before Pearl could finish speaking, the porcelain bottle smashed to the ground and shattered.
